Compatibility Sensor probes This thermostat is compatible with Thermogroup NTC 10kΩ @ 25°C floor sensor probes. Heating systems This thermostat is compatible with all Thermogroup electric Underfloor Heating systems. Replacing an existing thermostat? Contact the manufacturer's technical department and ask for the rating of the floor sensor at 25°C. If you have an existing floor probe from another thermostat that is not compatible, set your thermostat to ambient temperature sensing mode.
What’s in the box? Check you've got everything: • Programmable thermostat • Floor sensor probe (3m) • Floor sensor conduit (2m) • Fixing screws • Installation and user guide • Mounting plate (Portrait included with thermostat, landscape to be purchased additionally) You will also need: •...
Before you start Your thermostat should be: • Installed at least 1.2m from the floor • On an internal wall • Outside any wet zones (IP30) • Installed on a RCD protected circuit • Away from any hot or cold influences •...
