ERT50T TRIAC INSTRUCTION MANUAL 3
INTRODUCTION
A programmable thermostat is a device that combines the
functions of both a room thermostat and heating
controller into a single unit. The programmable
thermostat is used to switch the heating system in your
home on and off as needed. It works by controlling the
temperature according to a series of programmed settings
that take effect at different times of the day.
The ERT50T Triac from Salus Controls is a stylish and
accurate digital room thermostat that is fitted with a large
easy to read Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The ERT50T
Triac benefits from simple one-touch operation, and this
controller has been specifically designed to be used with
underfloor heating systems.
