What is a programmable room thermostat?
A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and
a room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set “On” and
“Off” periods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat
works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating
when the air temperature 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 heat up depends on the design of the heating system,
the size of the boilers and radiators.
Neither does the setting affect 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.

and then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this
is to set the room thermostat to a low temperature – say 18°C
– and then turn it up by 1°C each day until you are comfortable
with the temperature. You won’t have to adjust the thermostat
further. Any adjustment above this setting will waste energy
and cost you more money.
If you heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will
usually be only one programmable room thermostat to control
the whole house. But you can have different temperatures
in individual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves

(TRVs) on individual radiators. If you don’t 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 changes
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.

THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS ARE OPTIONAL
AND IN MOST CASES NEED NOT BE ADJUSTED
Optional Features Explained
Feature 01 - Temperature Format: This function allows you
to select between °C and °F.
Feature 02 – Switching Differential: This function allows
you to increase the switching differential of the thermostat.
The default is 1°C which means that with a set temperature of
20°C, the thermostat will switch the heating on at 19°C and off
at 20°C. With a 2°C differential, the heating will switch on at
18°C and off at 20°C.
Feature 03 – Frost Protect: You can set whether the
thermostat will maintain the frost temperature when the
thermostat display is turned off. As a default, this is enabled.

15
Feature 04 – Frost Protect Temperature: This is the
temperature maintained when the thermostat is in frost mode.
The range is 07 - 17°C. The default is 12°C and is suitable for
almost all applications.
Feature 05 – Output Delay: To prevent rapid switching, an
output delay can be entered. This can be set from 00-15
minutes. The default is 00 which means there is no delay.
Feature 06 – Communication Address: This setting is used
when you have connected your thermostat to a network
system. Each thermostat on your network must have a unique
communication address. This can be set from 01-32.
Feature 07 – Temperature Up/Down Limit: This function
allows you to limit the use of the up and down temperature
arrow keys. This limit is also applicable when the thermostat is
locked and so allows you to give others limited control over the
heating system.
Feature 08 – Sensor Selection: This thermostat has a built in
air sensor. In mode 00 and 02 (as described on page 13), the
thermostat uses the built in air sensor and cannot be changed.
In modes 01 and 03 you have the option to select from the
following sensor options:

16
• 00 = Built in Air Sensor
• 01 = Remote Air Sensor
• 02 = Floor Sensor Only
• 03 = Floor Sensors & Built in Air Sensor
• 04 = Floor Sensor and Remote Air Sensor
Feature 09 – Floor Limit: When the thermostat is operating
in mode 01 and 03 (as described on page 13) and function 08
is set to 02, 03 or 04, function 09 becomes available. You can

default).
Feature 10 – 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. The thermostat uses the rate of
change (see below) setting to calculate how long the building
needs to take to raise the building 1°C (with a rate of change
of 20, the thermostat has calculated the building needs 20
minutes to raise the building 1°C).
Feature 11 – Rate of Change: For information only.

17
Feature 12 – Weekday/Weekend or 7 Day Programming:
The thermostat offers two programming methods. Weekday/
Weekend allows you to program 4 comfort levels for the
weekday and 4 different comfort levels for the weekend. In 7
day program mode, each day has 4 comfort levels that can be
programmed independently.
