Compatibility
Thermotouch is compatible with Thermogroup NTC
10K floor sensor probes.
NTC 10kΩ@ 25°C
If you have an existing floor probe from another
thermostat that is not compatible, set your
thermostat to ambient temperature sensing mode.
(Not advisable for timber or other temperature sensitive floors).
Replacing an existing thermostat?
Contact the manufacturer’s technical department
and ask for the rating of the floor sensor at 25°C.

What’s in the box?
Check you’ve got everything:
• Programmable thermostat
• Floor sensor probe (3m)
• Floor sensor conduit (2m)
• Fixing screws
• Installation guide and warranty information
• Portrait mounting plate (AU only)
You will also need:
• Electrical screwdriver
• Deep electrical back box (UK only)
• Electrical test meter

5
Before you start
Your thermostat should be:
• Installed 1.2 - 1.5m from the floor
• On an internal wall
• Outside any wet zones (IP30)
• Installed on an RCD protected circuit
• Away from drafts or heat influences
• Installed so that the floor sensor probe
can be laid in a heated area of the floor
• Installed by a professional, in line with
current electrical regulations and relevant
local standards

Installing your thermostat
1. Switch off mains power
You will be installing your thermostat as
part of a high voltage mains electrical
circuit. To ensure your safety and to protect
the thermostat, switch off the mains power
and remove fuse from the spur before you
start the installation.

2. Installation location
At this stage it its likely that an RCD protected
electric underfloor heating system has been
installed and a back box is already in place.
The underfloor heating cold tail should be pulled
up through the back box, and the sensor probe
installed (in the conduit provided) within the wall
cavity or pre chased channel in a solid wall.

8
3. Maximum distances
Your thermostat can be installed up to 50m
away from the underfloor heating system it
is controlling, provided that the floor sensor
is used to control the temperature.
Underfloor heating cold tails and floor
sensor probes can be extended up to 50m.
Connect multiple heaters in parallel.
50m max.

8. Fix mounting plate (AU)
If you are installing the AU version the wiring diagram is
the same, but the fixing plate works differently. Release the
mounting plate from the case and use a screwdriver to fix
the mounting plate to the wall. Pull all cables through and
connect as shown on the wiring diagram on p10.

10. Switching on your system
It is important that all adhesives and
grouting is dry and fully cured before you
switch on your underfloor heating.
Most adhesives take between 7 to 10 days
to cure. Follow manufacturer guidelines.
The temperature of your underfloor heating
should be increased gradually to avoid
thermal shock in the floor. Start at 15°C and
work up to your desired temperature 2-3°C
per day.
Observe any maximum temperature
guidelines from your floor manufacturer.
Wait for
7 - 10 Days
before you
switch on

Heating modes
When your thermostat is on you can tap to switch
between Manual and Schedule heating modes.
Manual mode
Your thermostat will simply maintain the temperature you set manually
until you ask it to do something else!
Schedule mode
Your thermostat will follow a heating schedule that you can set by
following the instructions on page 20.
Manual override
If you change the set temperature while the thermostat is running the
heating schedule, the new selected temperature will be maintained
until the next scheduled temperature change. The thermostat will then
revert to the preset heating schedule.

Energy saving features
Adaptive Start
With the Adaptive Start feature enabled, Thermotouch will measure how
long it takes for your individual floor to heat up and ensure the target
temperature is achieved at the set time.
So if you set your heating schedule to 24°C at 07:00, the floor will be at
24°C at 07:00. No need to set the heating to come on early!
Thermotouch starts learning from the first time you enable the heating
schedule. It turns on an hour early to start with and gradually optimises the
heat up time over 7 days.
Open Window Detector
When the Open Window Detection feature is enabled, Thermotouch can
detect sudden drops in temperature and will switch off your heating to
eliminate wasted energy.
Thermotouch will come back on after 30 minutes, provided the temperature
has stabilised.
You can activate and adjust these features in the advanced
settings menu. See page 24.
