If your thermostat is being used for radiant floor heating, a floor sensor can be
connected and floor minimum day
floors heat the air by raising the floor temperature. Setting a floor temperature is a
way of enhancing the comfort of your living space.

If there is only an air temperature sensor (no floor sensor), the thermostat operates
to control your desired air temperature.

If the air sensor is turned on and a floor sensor is connected, the thermostat will
maintain your desired air temperature as well as a minimum floor temperature.
Controlling temperature this way is recommended for areas with large windows that
allow the sun to shine into a room and keep it warm without the need for additional
heat. This can allow the floors to cool off during the afternoon. When the sun goes
down, it can take a long time for the floors to get warm again and the room may
cool off too much in the early evening. A floor minimum setting can help with this
condition by maintaining a floor minimum temperature. Keep in mind the floor
minimum temperature will override the air temperature, and if set too high, may
overheat the room.
This operation is recommended for rooms with hardwood floors, as well as those
with large windows. Setting floor minimum and maximum temperatures is a way of
enhancing the comfort of your living space while protecting your floor coverings.
