1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – AREA OF USE
Thermostat for regulating underfloor electric heating cables,
temperature range within +5 to +40 °C (default). CDFR-003 is
programmable, and regulate the room or floor temperature
automatically. The thermostat can operate in two modes,
constant temperature mode or event mode.
From the factory CDFR-003 will start and run in constant
temperature mode using the room sensor (internal sensor) by
default. The temperature is set by the user, according to his/her
needs at any given time. If switched to event mode the
temperature target will be changed according to the default
program as shown in section 4. In event mode the thermostat
controls the temperature according to time and day. For
weekdays and weekend, different temperatures can be set at
different times. In this way it is possible to reduce the output
during night and day when the user does not need comfort
temperature (automatically). Energy consumption can be
reduced considerably. Please see section 6.3. for settings and
event mode programming.
The thermostat got a (built-in) room sensor and is delivered

with an external sensor which should be placed (embedded)
into the floor between two heating cable loops, near the floor
surface. Temperature can be regulated by the floor sensor or
the room sensor. A combination mode is also available where
both sensors are used. The floor sensor can then be used to
limit the floor temperature (below the set maximum limit), the
room sensor is used for regulating temperature according to the
set value.
If the heat indication symbol is shown in the display, it means
the thermostat is heating, but the symbol is not directly linked
(synchronized) to the relay controlling the power to the heating
cable.
The thermostat is turned on and off by using the ON/OFF
button. When turned off the settings will be remembered. The
thermostat will also remember its' settings if the power supply
fails (no time limit, EEPROM backup).

5. OPERATION OF THE THERMOSTAT
To change between constant temperature mode and event
mode
This function is linked to the clock function. Enter general
settings (See section 6.1) and go to sub-setting 11:CL (clock
settings). If the clock is disabled, the thermostat will run in
constant temperature mode. Event mode is activated by
activating the clock itself, either 12h AM/PM or 24h (See
section 6.1).

5.1. Constant temperature mode
The display will show the sensor in use and the temperature (or
the set temperature according to settings, see section 6.1 and
sub-setting 12:DF default display).
The set temperature can be adjusted by the user by pressing
the UP and DOWN buttons.
5.2. Event based mode
The temperature is regulated dependent of time and day (as
set by the user).
USER MANUAL

www.nexans.com
In this mode the display will show the sensor in use, the clock,
the current event (in this case "evening operation"), the
temperature (or the set temperature according to settings, see
section 6.1 and sub-setting 12:DF default display), and the
present day (in this case Saturday).
In event mode of operation the thermostat regulates the
temperature according to four different events (the user can
define time and temperature for all four):
For MONDAY to FRIDAY:
Normal operation (morning) From time A to B
Day saving operation From time B to C
Evening operation From time C to D
Night saving operation From time D to A
night saving operation
evening operation
(the habitants return to the house)
day saving operation
(the habitants leave the house)
normal operation / morning
USER MANUAL

www.nexans.com
For SATURDAY to SUNDAY there are two different
events by default (up to four events can be activated):
Normal operation (morning) From time E to F
Day saving operation (not defined by default)
Evening operation (not defined by default)
Night saving operation From time F to E
The times and temperatures of all events can be programmed
by the user, please see section 6.3.
Event mode of operation can be overridden by the user. This
is done manually by setting a new temperature with the UP
and DOWN buttons. Leave the thermostat and it will return to
override mode after 10 seconds, OVERRIDE is now shown in
the display.
The thermostat will regulate the temperature according to the
override value until the next event starts. The override can be
cancelled manually by pressing the CLOCK button once (wait
10 seconds).
5.3. View measured sensor values
This function is only available if sub-setting 12:DF = 01, see
USER MANUAL

section 6.2. Further on, you cannot see the measured value of
a sensor that is not active, according to sub-setting 10:SE, see
section 6.2.
Press and hold CLOCK button for 3 seconds to see measured
value of floor (external) sensor. (SET symbol will disappear).
Press and hold ON/OFF button for 3 seconds to see measured
value of room (internal) sensor. (SET symbol will disappear).
6. CHANGING SETTINGS

01:CF Set whether to show temperatures in Celsius or
Fahrenheit degrees.00=Celsius, 01= Fahrenheit.
02:DI Shows the dead band range. For information only, the
value cannot be changed.
03:CA Calibration. You can manually set the value of the
current measured temperature. This setting/value applies to
both internal and external sensor.
04:FR Antifreeze function. 00=Off, 01=On. If function is on
the antifreeze symbol will be shown in the display. See also

temperature goes below 5 degree Celsius.
CU=User defined settings. Minimum limits as set in
sub-setting 06 and 08 will be used for antifreeze purposes. In
addition if both sensors are active (sensor mode 02) the
thermostat will limit the maximum floor temperature (using
the floor sensor max value) according to the value set in
sub-setting 09.
Active sensor according to setting 10:SE will be used for
temperature measurement. If sensor mode=02 the room
(internal) sensor will trigger then antifreeze function.
06:RO Defines valid minimum setting/value for room
temperature.
07:RO Defines valid maximum setting/value for room
temperature
08:FL Defines valid minimum setting/value for external/floor
temperature.
09:FL Defines valid maximum setting/value for
external/floor temperature.

to installation instructions.
11:CL Clock. NO=No clock, thermostat will run in constant
temperature mode, 12h=12 hour clock with AM/PM, 24h=24
hour clock without AM/PM displayed. If either 12h or 24h is
active, event mode will also be activated.
12:DF Default display of temperature: set or measured
temperature. 00=display measured temperature, 01=display
set temperature.
Leave all buttons for 10 seconds to save all settings and return
to normal operation mode. The ON/OFF button cancels and
