It keeps the temperature of a room at the requested set point with a high degree of accuracy. This product is designed for installations with electrical current – with a resistive load – ranging from 1.25 A to 12.5 A (120/240 VAC). It possesses a user-friendly interface. Furthermore, it gives you the possibility to control the temperature of a room with great precision.
This thermostat is not compatible with the following installations :
Parts supplied:
Selection of the thermostat location
The thermostat must be mounted to a connection box on a wall facing the heating unit, at around 1.5 m (5 feet) above the floor level, on a section of the wall exempt from pipes or air ducts.
Do not install the thermostat in a location where temperature measurements could be altered. For example:
Thermostat mounting and connection
The programmable thermostat has three main operating modes: Manual (
Note: it is impossible to change the operation mode when the Security mode is activated.
When first powered up, the thermostat is initially in degrees Celsius, in Preprogrammed mode (preprogram 5), and the Anticipated start mode is activated. The clock is adjusted to Saturday (12:00) and flashes to indicate that an adjustment is necessary. The preprogram is effective immediately.
Adjustment of the hour and the day
To adjust the hour and the day:
In case of a power failure lasting less than 2 hours, the thermostat saves the adjustment of the hour and the day of the week. When the power is restored after an extensive failure, the hour will blink, indicating that it must be readjusted.
Ambient temperature
The figures displayed above the hour indicate the ambient temperature. It can be displayed in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit (see “Display in degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit”).
To adjust the set point, out of any adjustment mode, press down the
To return to the ambient temperature, do not press down any buttons for 3 seconds or press down both
Display in either degrees Celsius / Fahrenheit
The thermostat can display the ambient temperature and the set point in degrees Celsius (standard factory setting) or Fahrenheit.
The adjustment is thus completed and the thermostat returns to normal operation. It is possible to exit the degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit adjustment mode at any time :
In any case, the adjustment is saved.
Manual mode (
From the Manual mode, you can manually adjust the thermostat set point by pressing down the
Automatic mode (
From the Automatic mode, the thermostat adjusts the set points according to the programmed periods. If no data was entered, the thermostat acts the same way as from the Manual mode and the standard factory set point adjustment is 21°C. It is always possible to manually adjust the set point using the
From this mode, the screen displays the temperature, the heating power used, the hour, the day of the week and the current programmed period number (
Programming procedure of the Automatic mode
Programming the Automatic mode can be done in the Automatic mode or the Manual mode.
At the end of the programming period 4 of the weekend, the programming is completed and the thermostat returns to normal operation.
It is possible to exit the Automatic mode’s programming at any time :
In any case, all programming is saved.
Erasing of the programming
When programming the Automatic mode, it is possible to delete a programming period.
Preprogrammed mode (
The Preprogrammed mode allows a quick and easy preprogram of the thermostat. 18 preprograms (01 to 18) are defined in factory and easily accessible. This mode gives you the possibility to quickly program the thermostat using commonly used preprograms.
As from the Automatic mode, it is possible at any time to manually adjust the set point. This set point will be effective until the next set point change anticipated by the preprogram. Note that if the set point is lowered to off (–.-), the programming will not be effective.
From this mode, the screen displays the temperature, the heating power used, the hour, the day of the week and the number of the preprogram period (
This mode is initially activated when the power is turned on for the first time, with the program #5.
Selection of the Preprogram
See section 5 (Preprogram) to choose one of the 18 preprograms. The Quick selection section allows a choice based on 3 criteria: the number of hours you sleep, the time you wake up and the time you come home. The Detailed preprograms section gives a detailed schedule of all preprograms.
To select the preprogram :
It is possible to exit the selection of the preprogram at any time:
In any case, the selection is saved.
View of the preprogram
It is possible to view the current preprogram. However, it is impossible to modify a preprogram.
It is possible to exit the view of the preprogram at any time :
Anticipated start
This mode enables the room to reach the selected temperature at the programmed hour. In fact, the thermostat estimates the delay required to reach the set point of the next period at the programmed hour. This delay is obtained by the observation of the temperature variations in the room and the results obtained during the preceding anticipated starts. That way, the results should be increasingly precise day after day. The
If the set point is changed manually when this mode is in progress, the anticipated start of the next period is canceled.
To activate or deactivate the anticipated start :
The adjustment is thus completed and the thermostat returns to normal operation.
It is possible to exit the Anticipated start adjustment mode at any time :
In any case, the adjustment is saved.
Frost-free warning
The
Security mode
It is possible to impose minimum and maximum temperature set points by activating this mode. Then, it becomes impossible to exceed the maximum set point and go below the minimum set point, regardless of the current mode. When the Security mode is activated, any change in operation mode (Manual, Automatic or Preprogrammed) or any change in programming (Automatic mode) or preprogram (Preprogrammed mode) is impossible.
Procedures to activate the Security mode
To activate the Security mode, you must be in the desired mode (Manual, Automatic or Preprogrammed), and you must have completed the programming (Automatic mode) or selected the desired preprogram (Preprogrammed more).
It is possible to exit the Security mode adjustment at any time :
Note: if the adjustment of minimum and maximum set points is not completed, Security mode will not be activated.
Procedures to deactivate the Security mode
The deactivation of the Security mode is thus completed and the thermostat returns to normal operation.
Fan mode
When the thermostat is used to control a heating system equipped with a fan, the Fan mode must be activated. This mode prevents the system to continuously start and stop, which could cause fan failure. The Fan mode is not activated by default.
The status of this mode is indicated on the display by the
To activate or deactivate the Fan mode and/or adjust the minimum operating time:
It is possible to exit the Fan mode adjustment at any time :
In any case, the adjustment is saved.
Parameters saving and power failures
The thermostat saves some parameters in a non-volatile memory to be able to recover them after being shut off (a power failure, for example). These parameters are the operation modes (Manual, Automatic or Preprogrammed), the programming of the Automatic mode, the preprogram selection, the current set point, the Celsius/Fahrenheit display, the Fan mode, the minimum operating time in Fan mode, the Security mode, the minimum and maximum set points in Security mode, the Anticipated start, the time mode (24h/12h), the day, the hour and the Nightlight mode.
Backlight (models BP150, BP150C only)
By default, the backlight turns on when pressing down a button and turns off after 15 seconds of inactivity.
Nightlight mode (models BP150, BP150C only)
You can activate the Nightlight mode to permanently turn on the backlight. To activate or deactivate this mode, you must simultaneously press both and buttons for 3 seconds until the backlight blinks. Release the buttons. The Nightlight mode will be activated (or deactivated if it was previously activated).
Heating Power Indicator
The level of power used to maintain the temperature at the set point is expressed as a percentage indicated by the number of bars in the thermometer displayed. The heating power used is displayed as follows:
3 bars = 51 % to 75 %
2 bars = 26 % to 50 %
1 bar = 1 % to 25 %
0 bar = no heat
Problem | Solution |
The thermostat is hot. | In normal operating conditions, the thermostat housing can reach nearly 40°C / 100°F at maximum load. That is normal and will not affect the effective operation of the thermostat. |
Heating is always on. | Check if the thermostat is properly connected. Refer to the installation section. |
Heating does not run even if the thermostat indicates it is on. | Check if the thermostat is properly connected. Refer to the installation section. |
The display does not turn on. | Check if the thermostat is properly connected. Refer to the installation section. Check the power supply at the electrical panel. Check if the heating unit has a switch. If so, ensure that this switch is turned on. |
The display turns off a few minutes and then turns on again. | The thermal protection of the heating unit has opened due to overheating. Check if the heating unit is in good condition of operation and that clearance around the unit is according to the manufacturer’s specifications. |
The display has low contrast when heating is on. | The load is lower than the minimum load. Install a heating unit that is within the load limits of the thermostat. |
The displayed ambient temperature is incorrect. | Check the presence of an air stream or a heat source near the thermostat, and correct the situation. |
The display indicates E1, E2, E3 or E4. | Faulty thermostat. Contact the customer service. |
Weak luminosity of the display. | Possibility of a bad contact. Check thermostat wiring. Refer to the installation section. |
