Introduction
The TPT88 is a combined temperature and time controller for
electric underfloor heating. It is rated at 16A (3.68kW). The
unit controls to a fully adjustable comfort temperature during
programmed ON times and to a fully adjustable economy
temperature during OFF times. It does this by using the signal
from an underfloor probe (included). Both the economy and
comfort temperatures can be set to a minimum of 7°C to give
frost protection.
The large LCD display can be back lit if required at the press
of a button. The display reverts to normal 15 seconds after the
button is first pressed.

Connections
The TPT88 must be used with the temperature probe provided.
Connections are made to the unit according to the following
diagram.
Siting
The TPT88 should not be installed in a wet area such as a
bathroom or shower area. Further instructions are given in the
Thermolay Cable and Mat instruction leaflet.
Installation
The installation should be carried out by a competent person
following the latest I.E.E. wiring and local authority regulations
in the UK or the relevant wiring and local authority regulations
in other countries.
The TPT88 underfloor heating controller is designed to fit onto
either a BS4662 recessed single box or a BS5733 surface mount
single box. The minimum box depth required is 32mm. The
ideal mounting height is at eye level for the shortest person
who is likely to need to programme the unit. For details of the
installation of the temperature probe and heating cable or mat
see the Thermolay instruction leaflet.

Switch OFF the mains to the controller. Remove the front of the
thermostat by using a small screwdriver in the slot as shown in Figure 3.
Cut the cable tails of the temperature probe and heating mat or cables
to length and strip sleeving and insulation as required. Identify the
wires and locate according to figure 2. Supply cable with a minimum of
2.5mm
2
must be used. Tighten the screw terminals onto the wires and
form the cables.
Offer the back plate up to the wall box forming the cables as required,
finally locating and tightening up the fixing screws supplied as shown
in Figure 4.
Snap the front of the thermostat back into position on the back plate.
To test the unit is operating set the temperature to 30ºC as described
in the section “Timed override for Two Hours“. After a few seconds the
Heating ON indicator will show.
Wait for a one hour for a wood underfloor or up to 5 hours for an
uninsulated concrete floor (the warm-up time for uninsulated concrete
will be substantially reduced when the moisture has been driven out
of the concrete during the first few heating cycles) and feel if the floor
starts to warm. If it does not, check the connections and carry out the
checks on the mat or cable installation instructions.
Earthing
The TPT88 itself does not require to be earthed. The screen around the
flying lead (cold cable) from the Thermolay mat must be earthed to the
box terminal. This also applies to the screen at each end of the Thermolay
cablee, both of which must be earthed in the same way.

Setting Programmes
Overview
The TPT88 has three independent programmes for each
day of the week. During the ON-OFF times set the unit
will maintain the floor temperature at the comfort
temperature and outside these times will maintain
the floor at the economy temperature. Both of these
temperatures are user settable in the range 7-30°C.
After a reset a default programme becomes operational
for the following times/days.
For days 1-5 only two programmes P1 and P3 are
active. This is done by making the ON and OFF times for
programme P2 the same.
The user can use this programme as it stands if
appropriate or modify it to his/her exact requirement.
It is usually considerably quicker to modify a default
programme than it is to programme from a blank sheet.

Repeating a Programme Over One
or More Days
A common requirement is to have the same programme
operating over a number of days. Having set the first
days programmes continue pressing the PROG button
until the day is flashing. Now press the TIME/COPY
button and release, COPY will be displayed flashing. Use
the + or – button to select the day to be copied to and
press and release the TIME/COPY button again. COPY
is now displayed statically. Select another day using the
+ or – button and press TIME/COPY again, repeat until
all days to be copied have been covered. Finally press
MODE/NEXT to return to normal operating mode.
Reducing the Number of
Programmes in Operation
a. Reducing three programmes to two. Adjust the OFF
time for programme 2 (P2) to be the same as its ON
time.
b. Reducing three programmes to one. Adjust the OFF
time for programme 1 (P1) to one minute before the
ON time for programme 2 (P2), and adjust the OFF
time for programme 2 to one minute before the ON
time for programme 3 (P3).
c. Reducing two programmes to one. The technique
described in (b) can be used where there are only
two programmes operate with the ON and OFF
times for programme 2 the same.
d. Cancelling all programmes. To cancel all three
programmes make the ON and OFF for each
programme the same.

Setting Temperatures
Press and hold PROG button, then press and release
MODE/NEXT, finally release PROG button. The display
shows COM (comfort temperature with its current value
flashing. Use the + or – button to increase or decrease
the value in 0.5°C steps as required.

flashing. Use the + or – button to increase or decrease
the value as required.
Mode Key
The TPT88 has three operating modes:-
Normal (or timed) operating mode.
Continuously OFF (no heating at all).
Continually controlling the comfort temperature.
It is possible to move between these modes by pressing
and releasing the MODE/NEXT button.
Timed Override for Two Hours
The unit must be in normal (or timed) mode. Press and
release the + or – buttons and the temperature display
will show the current control temperature (comfort
during ON periods, economy during OFF periods).
Adjust the temperature to be maintained for the two
hour period (starting immediately) by using the + or
– buttons. The programme indicator will flash indicating
a timed override.
To cancel press the PROG button and release.
