1.Description
The STE362RNP electronic thermostat can be used to con-
trol electric heating units such as electric baseboards, con-
vectors, or aeroconvectors. It keeps the temperature of a
room at the requested set point with a high degree of ac-
curacy. This product is designed for installations with electri-
cal current - with a resistive load - ranging from 2A to 15A
(120/208/240 VAC). It possesses a user-friendly interface.
Furthermore, it gives you the possibility to control the tem-
perature of a room with great precision.
This thermostat is not compatible with the following

2. Installation
Selection of thermostat location
The thermostat must be mounted on a connection box on a
wall facing the heating unit, at around 1.5 m (5 feet) above
the oor level, on a section of the wall exempt from pipes
or air ducts.
Do not install the thermostat in a location where temperature
measurements could be altered. For example:
•closetoawindow,onanexternalwall,orclosetoadoor
leading outside;
•exposeddirectlytothelightorheatoftheSun,alamp,a

Thermostat mounting and connection
1. Cut off power supply on lead wires at the elec-
trical panel in order to avoid any risk of electric
shock.
2. Ensure that the air vents of the thermostat are clean and
clear of any obstruction.
3.Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw retaining the mount-
ing base and front part of the thermostat. Remove the front
part of the thermostat from the mounting base by tilting it
upward.
4. Align and secure the mounting base to the connection box
using the two screws supplied.

INSSTE362RNP0711
5. Take the wires from the wall through the hole at the base
of the thermostat and connect them using the supplied
solderless connectors. When making the connection with
aluminum wire, make sure that you are using connectors
identied CO/ALR. Please note that the thermostat wires
do not have polarity. Therefore, the way they are connect-
ed is not important.
2-wire installation
6. Reinstall the front part of the thermostat on the mounting
base and tighten the screw at the bottom of the unit.
7. Turn on the power.
8. Set the thermostat to the desired setting (see the following
section).

Powering on for the rst time
When powering on for the rst time, the thermostat is initially
set to ‘Day’ mode. The temperature is displayed in Celsius
and is set at 21 degrees by default.
Temperature set points
The gures displayed above the pictogram indicate the tem-
perature set point. It can be displayed in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit (see “Display in degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit”).
To adjust the set point, just press down the top button to
increase the value, or the bottom button to decrease it. Set
points can be adjusted by increments of 0.5°C or 1°F. To
quickly scroll through the set point values, press and hold
down the button. The minimum set point is 3°C (37°F), and
the maximum set point is 30°C (86°F). In Day mode, you can
turn off the thermostat by lowering the set point below 3°C.

INSSTE362RNP0711
The set point value displayed will be --.-, and heating system
start up will be impossible.
Day mode and Night mode
The thermostat includes a Day mode and a Night mode,
both of them having their own independently adjustable and
recorded set point. When switching from one mode to the
other, the system will automatically use the temperature set
point corresponding to the Day/Night mode selected. The
standard factory set point adjustment is 21°C (70°F) for the
Day mode, and 18°C (64°F) for the Night mode.
The current Day/Night mode selection is indicated on the
display by the Sun or Moon icon. In order to manually switch
from one mode to the other, simultaneously press down the
two buttons and release them immediately.
Night mode timer
The Night mode features a timer that automatically returns
to the Day mode after a selectable time period. This timer al-
lows the temporary use of a temperature set point. The stan-
dard factory adjustment of the timer is 8 hours. With this ad-
justment, the thermostat automatically returns to Day mode
8 hours after being switched to the Night mode.
For example, if you want a night temperature lower than the
day temperature, both Day/Night modes set points will rst
have to be set at the desired temperatures. Before bedtime,
the Night mode temperature set point will be activated by
switching manually to the Night mode. The timer is set for the
duration of the night. The thermostat will automatically return
to the Day mode at the end of the night, and the Day mode
temperature set point, which is higher, will become effective
at this time.

INSSTE362RNP0711
Night mode timer adjustment procedure
1. If necessary, adjust the Day/Night mode set points at the
desired temperatures. If needed, switch from one mode to
the other by simultaneously pressing down the two but-
tons and releasing them immediately.
2. From the Night mode, simultaneously press down the two
buttons for more than 3 seconds until the Moon icon blinks
and the letter H appears.
3. If needed, adjust the timer by pressing down the top but-
ton to increase the value, or the bottom button to decrease
it. The adjustment range is from 1 hour to 999 hours. To
quickly scroll through timer values, press and hold down
the button.
4. When the adjustment is completed, release the buttons
and wait for 5 seconds to exit the adjustment function.
NOTE: The Night mode timer will be automatically reinitialized
to the latest recorded value when switching from the
Day mode to the Night mode. It is not necessary to
readjust the timer every time you switch to the Night
mode. The timer is also reinitialized when this value is
adjusted. Once the timer has completed its cycle and
when the thermostat is in the Day mode, you must
manually return to the Night mode. If you want to au-
tomatically return to the Night mode, the Smart mode
must be selected.
Smart mode
The Smart mode, which is associated to the Night mode
timer, allows alternating between the Day/Night modes and
the two corresponding set points over a 24-hour period.
Once activated, this mode allows an automatic return to the
Night mode after 24 hours. The Smart mode allows you to
dene two periods in a single day with different set points.
For example, if the Smart mode is activated and the Night

INSSTE362RNP0711
mode timer is set at 8 hours, the thermostat will be operat-
ing in the Night mode for 8 hours at the night temperature
set point. Then, it will return to the Day mode for 16 hours
operating at the day temperature set point. At the end of the
24-hour cycle, the thermostat will return to the Night mode,
and the cycle will start again. The 24-hour cycle starts with
the Night mode as soon as the Smart mode is activated. The
Smart mode activation should be made when you want to
return to the Night mode. The normal course of a cycle in the
Smart mode is as follows:
1- Night mode: activated for the duration of the Night mode
timer cycle. It returns to the Day mode when the timer
cycle is completed.
2- Day mode: activated for the remaining time of the 24-hour
cycle. It returns to the Night mode at the end of the 24-
hour cycle.
Adjustment procedure of the Smart mode:
1. If necessary, adjust the Day/Night set point at the desired
temperatures. If needed, switch from one mode to the oth-
er by simultaneously pressing down the two buttons and
releasing them immediately.
2. From the Night mode, simultaneously press down the two
buttons for more than 3 seconds. If needed, adjust the tim-
er by pressing down the top button to increase the value,
or the bottom button to decrease it. The Night mode timer
adjustment range is from 1 hour to 23 hours in the Smart
mode. To quickly scroll through the timer values, press and
hold the bottom button.
NOTE: If you set the timer to any value exceeding 23 hours,
it will be impossible to activate the Smart mode and if
it was activated, the Smart mode will be deactivated.
3. Activate the Smart mode by simultaneously pressing down
the two buttons for at least 3 seconds. The icon will
appear. If the Smart mode was already activated, the same
