thermostat. A programmer allows you to set On and "Off time peri-
ods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat works by sensing
the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air tempera-
ture falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this
set temperature has been reached.
So, a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times
you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it should
reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different temperatures
in your home at different times of the day (and days of the week) to
meet your particular needs.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting will
not
make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up
depends on the design of the heating system, for example, the size
of the boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting effect how quickly the room cools down.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a lower setting will
result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and
saves energy.

The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to
find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with
and the different times you have chosen and then leave it alone to
do its job.
The best way to do this is to set low temperatures first, say 18ºC,
and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are
comfortable with the temperatures. You wont have to adjust the
thermostat further. Any adjustment above these setting will waste
energy and cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be
only one programmable room thermostat to control the whole

by installing thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on individual
radiators. If you dont have TRVs, you should choose a temperature
that is reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you
can choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the
coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other
rooms by adjusting the TRVs.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to
be adjusted in spring and Autumn at the change between
Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.

You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for
example “Override”,“Advance”or “Boost”These are explained in
the manufacturers instructions.
Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense
the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or block
ed
by furniture. Nearby electic fires, televisions, wall or table lamps
may prevent the thermostat from working properly.

Installation Procedure
DO`s
1.Do Mount the thermostat should be mounted at eye level.
2.Do read the instructions fully so that you best from our product.
3.Do install the floor probe into a conduit so that it can be replaced
if necessary.
DON’T`s
1.Do not install near a direct heat source as this will effect the
workings of the thermostat.
2.Do not push hard on the LCD otherwise youwill damage the liquid
crystal display and this is not repairable.
Installation
The thermostat is designed to be flush mount, a back box of 35mm
should have been sunk in the wall prior to installation.
Step 1
Carefully separate the front half of the thermostat from the back
plate by placing a small flat head terminal driver in to the slots on
the bottom face of the thermostat.
5

Step 2
Carefully unplug the ribbon connector which is plugged in to the
front half of the thermostat.
Place the thermostat front half somewhere safe.

How To Setup Your Thermostat
This thermostat has many options available to you. Once you have
set these settings you can leave them. They will be stored in the
thermostat memory and do not need to be adjusted later.
You need to use the table opposite as a reference guide when
initially setting up the thermostat.
We strongly suggest you read the next few pages so that you fully
understand the features available and the intended use.
You should also understand that by enabling one feature, another
feature maybe made unavailable. This is because the feature is not
available in that mode.

Understanding the Features
The installer should read the following features and then setup
the thermostat accordingy to the features required.
Temperature Format: Select between°C or °F
Switching Differential: This is the number of degrees the heating
switches back on below the set temperature.
Temperature Calibrate: The thermostat is calibrated from the
factory, but you can use this function to calibrate if required.
Frost Mode: You can set whether the thermostat will maintain the
frost temperature even when the thermostat has been turned off
with the power button. As a default, this is enabled.
Frost Protection Temperature: This is used to set the required
frost temperature. The range is 07 - 17°C
Output Delay: To prevent rapid switching, an output delay can be
entered. This can be from 00 - 30 minutes.

Understanding the Features (Cont)
Optimum Start: Optimum start will delay the start up of the heating
system to the latest possible moment, to avoid unnecessary
heating, so that the dwelling is comfortably warm by the
programmed time.
Rate of Change: This setting is calculated by the thermostat.
Air Sensor Selection: (Mode 01 Only, See Page) You can select
whether the air sensor used is the one built in to the thermostat or a
remoteair probe.
Floor Limit Sensor (In mode 01 Only, See Page ) The floor sen-
sor is used to protect the floor surface. During normal operation, the

but should the floor temperature limit be exceeded the heating will
turn off. This setting allows you to enable / disable the floor limit
function.

Understanding the Features
Mode
The PRT-E has two modes available.
00 = Floor Only. In this mode a single remote floor sensor is used to
maintain a desired floor temperature. The programmed settings
relate to the floor temperature only. Air temperature is not
monitored in this mode.
01 = Air & Floor. In this mode, two sensors are used. The
programmed settings relate to the air temperature and the floor
sensor is used only to prevent the floor surface from overheating. A
floor limiting temperature can be programmed in this mode, and
should this temperature be exceeded, the heating will be switched
off - even if the desired air temperature has not be achieved.

Temperature Override
Using the Up/Down arrow keys you can adjust the current set
temperature. On the screen, you will see SET and the new
temperature displayed.
This temperature will be maintained until the next programmed
comfort level. Press A to accept and exit.
Frost Mode
By pressing the “H”button, the thermostat will switch into frost

Setting the Comfort Levels
The PRT-E has 4 comfort levels for the weekday and 4 for the
weekend. This method of control is not to have on/off times but to
allow the occupant to set varying temperatures throughout the day.
For example;
08.00 - 21°C (Wake) 09.30 - 16°C (Go to work)
16.30 - 22°C (Return home) 23.00 - 17°C (Sleep)
If you only want to use 2 levels, you should program the unused
levels to --.--
You are now able to program the first comfort level for the weekday
.
Follow these steps;

•To begin programming the comfort levels, press once.
You will see Mo - Fr displayed.
•Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the time for the 1st comfort
level for the weekday.
•Press H to accept
•Enter the required temperature for the 1st comfort level.
•Repeat for comfort levels 2-4.
•You will now see Sa Su on the screen. Repeat for the comfort
levels for the weekend.
•Press A to store and exit.

Enabling Keylock
The PRT-E has a keylock facility. To enable this press the “A”and
“Down”arrow key for 10 seconds.
When the keylock function has been activated, you will see
on screen.
To cancel, repeat the steps above.
Viewing The Current Floor Temperature
(Mode 01 Only)
