TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN
POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
All cables and connections must comply with local electrical
codes.
This thermostat has tinned copper wires for line and load connec-
tions. Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used if
these wires will be connected to aluminium conductors.
Install the thermostat onto an electrical box.
Install the thermostat about 1.5 m (5’) high, on an inside wall facing
the heater.
Avoid locations where there are air drafts (such as the top of a
staircase or an air outlet), dead air spots (such as behind a door),
or direct sunlight.
Do not install the thermostat on a wall that conceals chimney or
stove pipes.
The thermostat wires are not polarized; either wire can be con-
nected to the load or to the power supply.

box using the provided screws. Insert the
screws through either the right or left pair
of mounting holes on the thermostat.
NOTE: If there is a protective film or
sticker on the thermostat’s screen, peel it

Apply power to the heating system. Verify the installation by checking
that the heater can be turned on by raising the setpoint using the Up
button and off by lowering the setpoint using the Down button.
Keep the thermostat's air vents clean and free from obstructions.

In Automatic mode, the thermostat adjusts its temperature set-
point according to the period of the day. To place the thermostat in
this mode, press the Mode button until Auto appears on the
screen. The current period number also appears (unless the ther-
mostat has not been programmed with a schedule).
You can program up to 4 periods (Wake, Leave, Return or Sleep)
in a day. You can set 2 different programs: one for the weekdays
(Monday to Friday) and another one for the weekend (Saturday
and Sunday).
The thermostat uses the following default schedule:
Temporary Override
You can temporarily modify the setpoint temperature while the thermostat is in
Automatic mode using the Up or Down button. The new setpoint will be used until
the beginning of the next period. During the override, Auto flashes on the screen.
You can cancel the override by pressing the button.

To place the thermostat in Economy mode, press the Mode
button until Econo appears on the screen. The period number will
also appear after you have programmed the periods in the
Economy mode. This mode is ideal for weekend residences
(cottages) as it can be used to keep the temperature at an
economy level during most of your absence and raise the
temperature to a comfortable level by your usual arrival time. If
you do not show up at your cottage, the temperature will return to
the economy level until the following weekend.
The Economy mode has two periods which you can set as follows:
Economy mode
Period Temperature Start Time
1Set to a comfortable level
(e.g., 21.0°C / 70°F).
Set the day and time that you want the tem-
perature to start rising so that the comfort-
able level is reached by the time you arrive
(e.g., Friday at 3:00 pm).
2Set to an economy level
(e.g., 15.0°C / 59°F).
Set the day and time that you want the tem-
perature to start dropping to the economy
level if you do not show up (e.g., Friday at
8:00 pm).

The Economy mode can be used as follows:
Place the thermostat in Economy mode during your absence.
When you arrive, place the thermostat in Automatic mode or in Manual
mode before the temperature drops to the economy level.
When you leave, switch the thermostat back to Economy mode.
To program the two periods of the Economy mode:
nPress the Mode button until Econo appears on the screen.
oPress the Pgm button. Period 1 is displayed.
pPress the Hour and Min buttons to set the start time of the displayed period.
qPress the Up or Down button to set the temperature.
rPress the Pgm button to select Period 2.
sRepeat steps 3 through 5 to set Period 2.
tPress the button to end programming.
Temporary Override
You can temporarily override the current temperature using the Up or Down but-
ton. The new setpoint will be used until the end of the current period. Econo
flashes during the override. You can cancel the override by pressing the but-
ton.

In case of difficulty
PROBLEM SOLUTIONS
Thermostat is hot.
This condition is normal. Ensure that the heater
capacity does not exceed the thermostat’s maximum
load.
Wrong temperature is
displayed.
Correct it if any of the following situations exists:
• The thermostat is exposed to an air draft.
• The thermostat is located near or above a heat
source such as a light dimmer.
Wrong time is displayed. The thermostat was without power for more than 5
hours.
Temperature does not
change according to the
programmed schedule.
Check that the thermostat is in Automatic mode.
Check the schedule and clock settings. If the thermo-
stat is configured in 12-hour format, ensure that PM
appears on the screen when afternoon times are dis-
played.
LP appears on the
screen or the screen is
blank despite there is no
power outage.
The thermal circuit breaker in the heater is opened.
This can happen if the heater is obstructed by furniture
or curtain and has overheated, or if the thermal circuit
breaker is defective or too sensitive.

During a power outage, the thermostat display remains lit for the first 2 minutes.
During this time, the LP (low power) indicator appears and all buttons are dis-
abled. Then the screen turns blank. The settings are stored in memory. When
power returns, the thermostat returns to the mode of operation preceding the
power outage. If the power failure has exceeded 5 hours, the clock and date must
be re-adjusted.
