ThermoPlus AS1
User Operating Instructions
The ThermoPlus AS1 - Programmable Room
Thermostat Offers a number of pre-installed heating profiles
which are simple to set-up by the installer or user to provide
maximum comfort. Once complete, user operations are kept
to a minimum by using the +/ - and Warm/Cool buttons on the
front of the unit.
PLEASE NOTE: The ThermoPlus contains a selection of five
pre-set and one adjustable profile options, one of these profiles
should have been set by the Installer to meet your heating
requirements. Care should be taken to ensure the correct
profile is selected that most suits your lifestyle. Details on
how to change the selected profile are located on page 9 of
this guide.

What is a programmable room thermostat?
...an explanation for householders.
A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a
room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set 'ON and OFF'
time 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 the 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 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.
The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is
to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable
with at 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 won't have to adjust the thermostat further.
Any adjustments above these settings will waste energy and
cost you more money.

What is a programmable room thermostat?
If your 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 chose 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 manufacturer's instructions.
Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to
sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains
or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or
table lamps may prevent the thermostat from working properly.

Warm and Cool Temperature Adjustments
The ThermoPlus has two preset temperature levels, these are
known as 'Warm', higher level temperature(21 °C) and 'Cool',
lower or set back temperature(15 °C). The preset temperatures
have been selected to give a comfortable, safe, yet efficient
temperature level in the home.
In certain installations it may be necessary to adjust either
the 'Warm' and / or 'Cool' temperatures to meet the specific
needs of the user. This can be achieved by following the
simple steps below; (Additional information is also contained
within the General Information section of this guide)

Warm and Cool Temperature Adjustment
The Warm and Cool target
temperature settings on the
ThermoPlus AS1 are fully
adjustable. To change a
target temperature it is first
necessary to press the the
centre button to bring up the
'Warm' or 'Cool' setting
(Indicated by the red or blue
LED indicators). By using the
up/down keys under the flap
the 'Warm/Cool' temperature
can be increased or
decreased to the desired
temperature setting
PLEASE NOTE - it is not possible to set the warm setting to
below that of the cool setting or vice versa.
Once a new temperature has been set on either the Warm or
Cool setting the AS1 will continue to use this setting until the
next manual adjustment.
PLEASE NOTE - The AS1 will display any temporary
change the user has made by pressing the + or - buttons, this
does not indicate a permanent change in either the Warm or
Cool settings, the temperature will return to the pre-set levels
at the next switching period. During an override the 'Warm'
or 'Cool' setting will not be displayed on the LCD.
