Programmable room thermostats are widely recognised as one of the best ways in which to control central heating. Horstmann C-Stat programmable room thermostats have a large display and intuitive user interface, making them easy to set up and use. C-Stat uses a sophisticated time proportional integral (TPI) algorithm for accurate temperature control and energy efficiency. Being battery powered, these models are suitable for replacing most existing room thermostats. Installation and connection should only be carried out by a suitable qualified person and in accordance with the edition of the IEE wiring regulation.
Positioning the C-Stat programmable room thermostat
The C-Stat should be mounted on an internal wall approximately 1.5 metres from floor level and should be in a position away from draughts, direct heat and sunlight. Ensure that there will be enough space to allow access to the two retaining screws located at the base of the wall plate
Fitting the wall plate To remove the wall plate from the C-Stat undo the two retaining screws located on the underside, the wall plate should now be easily removed. Once the wall plate has been removed from the packaging please ensure the C-Stat is resealed to prevent damage from dust, debris etc. The wall plate should be fitted in a position which allows a total clearance of at least 50mm around the C-Stat programmable thermostat.
Direct Wall Mounting
Offer the plate to the wall in the position the C-Stat is to be mounted and mark the fixing positions through the slots in the wall plate. Drill and plug the wall, then secure the plate in position. The slots in the wall plate with compensate for any misalignment of the fixings
Wiring Box Mounting
The C-Stat wall plate may be fitted directly on to a single gang steel flush wiring box complying with BS4662, using two M3.5 screws. The C-stat is suitable for mounting on a flat surface only; it must not be positioned on an unearthed metal surface.
Electrical Connections
All necessary electrical connections should now be made. Flush wiring can enter from the rear through the aperture in the wall plate. The recommended cable size is 1.0mm².
Internal wiring diagram
The C-Stat is double insulated and does not require an earthconnection, an earth connection block is provided on the wall plate for terminating any cable earth conductors. Earth continuity must be maintained and all bare earth conductors must be sleeved. Ensure that no conductors are left protruding outside the central space enclosed by the wall plate.
Please ensure that all wiring complies with current IEE regulations

TPI Temperature control software
Thermostats using TPI (Time Proportional Integral) control algorithms will reduce the temperature swing that normally occurs when using traditional bellows or thermally operated thermostats. As a consequence, a TPI regulating thermostat will maintain the comfort level far more efficiently than any traditional thermostat. When used with a condensing boiler, the TPI thermostat will help to save energy as the control algorithm allows the boiler to operate in condensing mode more consistently compared to older types of thermostat.
Fitting the C-Stat to the wall plate
Fit the 2 x AA batteries provided under the hinged battery cover on the front of the unit. Ensure they are fitted correctly as indicated by the terminal markings in the battery compartment. Complete the installation by swinging the C-Stat into position by engaging the lugs at the top of the wall plate before pushing it firmly home into its plug-in terminal block. Tighten the 2 captive screws on the underside of the unit. Now ensure that the heating system is responding to the On/Off commands from the C-Stat. Explain its operation to the householder and hand over the users operating instructions to the user.
There are a number of ‘Installer Settings’ that should be set on installation. These can be found under the ‘SET UP MENU’ on page 15 of the user instructions
Resetting the thermostat
Electronic equipment can in some circumstances be affected by electrical interference. If the display becomes frozen or scrambled simply press both the BACK and ENTER button simultaneously.
