What is a programmable room thermostat? A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set “On” and “Off” time periods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached. So, a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it should reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different temperatures in your home at different times of the day (and days of the week) to meet your particular needs. Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design of the heating system, for example, the size of the boiler and radiators. Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down. Turning a programmable room thermostat to a lower...

setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy. The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to ind the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with at the different times you have chosen, and then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to set low temperatures irst, say 18ºC, and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the temperatures. You won’t have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustment above these setting will waste energy and cost you more money. If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one programmable room thermostat to control the whole house. But you can have different temperatures in individual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on individual radiators. If you don’t have TRVs, you should choose a temperature that is reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you can choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that...

even the coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other rooms by adjusting the TRVs. The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in spring and autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time. You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, “Override”, “Advance” or “Boost”. These are explained in the manufacturer’s instructions. Programmable room thermostats need a free low of air to sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric ires, televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat from working properly.

Comfort Levels Explained Comfort levels allow you to set different temperatures throughout the day. For example, you may want the home warm in the morning when you are getting ready for work, cooler during the day when the house is unoccupied and then warmer in the evening when you are home relaxing. The thermostat offers 5/2 Day Programming (4 levels for the weekday, 4 for the weekend) and 7 day Programming (4 levels for each day). See pages 17-22 for details on how to switch between these modes. Tip! If you don’t want to use all of the comfort levels, just set the time to --.— and the thermostat will ignore this setting.

Feature 09 – Floor Limit Sensor: This function is not changeable on this model. Feature 10 – Optimum Start: Optimum start will bring the heating on early if needed, so the house is warm when you wake up. This means you don’t need to allow any extra heat up time when programming the comfort levels. The thermostat will automatically learn the required heat up time and will adjust itself, if required, throughout the year. Feature 11 – Rate Of Change: This is the number of minutes the thermostat has calculated it takes to raise your building 1°C. The thermostat will continue to learn the heat up time of your home and will adjust this setting to suit. Feature 12 – 5/2 Day 7 Day Programmable: This function allows you to switch between 5/2 day or 7 day programming. 5/2 day means you can program 4 comfort levels for the weekday and 4 different levels for the weekend. 7 day programming allows you to program 4 temperature levels for each day of the week.
