Mounting the Wall Plate
The thermostat case can mount to
a standard electrical wall box or
most wall surfaces using suitable
hardware. To properly mount the
wall plate, follow the instructions
below.
1. Separate the front and back
plates of the thermostat by
gently applying downward
pressure on the front plate to
separate the front plate from
the back plate.
2. Pull the thermostat wire through
the round opening in the back
plate.
3. Place the back plate against the
wall at the desired location to
cover the opening or electrical
wall box.
4. Align the holes of the back
plate to the holes in the wall or
electrical wall box, and attach
the plate with screws. If
mounting the plate to drywall,
use wall anchors and screws.
5. If the wall cavity behind the
thermostat is susceptible to
drafts (e.g., from a return-air
plenum or an uninsulated wall),
plug and seal any openings to
prevent them from affecting
temperature readings.

Mounting the Thermostat
to the Wall Plate
To mount the thermostat to the wall
plate, follow the instructions below.
1. Place the tabs at the bottom
of the front enclosure into the
grooves at the back of the
wall plate.
2. Check the alignment between
the two components.
3. Apply pressure to the top of
the thermostat until you hear
a click.

Operation
Rc Y
The dynamics of a radiant heating
G
system differ from a typical
baseboard or forced-air heating
system. This is because radiant
systems heat the mass and the
objects in the room. The Uponor
thermostat uses optimized control
logic to control radiant systems.
Refer to the paragraphs below
for the two different modes of
operation — differential mode
and pulse width modulation
(PWM) mode.
Differential Mode
When the room temperature falls
1°F (0.5°C) below the desired room
setting, the control devices wired to
the thermostat activate.
Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) Mode
When the room temperature is
between 1 to 3°F (0.5 to 1.5°C)
below the desired room setting, the
thermostat manages the application
of heat by varying the on-and-off
cycles (PWM). The on-and-off
times vary depending on the
difference between room and
desired temperatures — the further
away, the greater the on time. This
prevents the room temperature
from rising above the desired
temperature. The heating system
will run continuously at temperature
differences greater than 3°F
(1.5°C).
Note: In PWM mode, the heating
equipment may temporarily turn
off even when the heating icon is
flashing (indicating a call for heat).

Digital Filtering
The thermostat also features digital
filtering, meaning the thermostat
continuously measures the room
temperature and employs a digital
filter to create a stable reading and
consistent operation. If each room
temperature reading displayed
as it is sensed, the temperature
shown would appear erratic and
inconsistent. The filtering technique
throws out sensor readings with
large differences from the displayed
temperature and then limits the
