INSTALLATION
This thermostat is designed to control electric floor-warming systems. The resistive load must not exceed 2000 watts (NI) @ 120 VAC (16.7 A). The thermostat is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and therefore the isolation of the line and load are required for operation. Do not cap all the white wires together. During a ground fault, only the current in the black wire (line) of the load will be cut-off. Connect the thermostat as shown on the diagram.
PARTS INCLUDED
- One (1) FTGF1P (120 VAC) thermostat
- Two (2) 6-32 screws
- Four (4) solderless connectors (for copper wire)
- One (1) Temperature sensor with a 15-foot extension
Connecting wires and mounting thermostat
- Connect the rear thermostat wires to the power supply and to the load using solderless connectors for copper wires. See the schematic diagram.
- Push the excess wire back into the electrical box to prevent interference with the thermostat.
- Secure the thermostat using two (2) 6-32 screws. Once the thermostat is properly installed, return power to the heating system.
- Note 1: All cables and connections must conform to the local electrical code.
- WARNING: Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used when connecting with aluminum conductors.
Connecting temperature sensor wire
- Connect the temperature sensor wire to the two lower screws of the terminal block at the back of the thermostat (no polarity needs to be respected)
- The wire must pass outside the electrical box and follow the wall down to the floor.
- The sensing probe should be placed in a representative heat area for maximum system performance.
- The sensing probe should be centered between the wires in the mat.
- The temperature sensor wire cannot cross any heater wires and the sensing probe must not be directly ON or adjacent to a heating wire
Power-up
To power up the thermostat:
- When power is applied for the first time, the display must show the time 00:00, the floor temperature, and the manual mode icon (
). - Other information might show up on the display if the installation is defective or does not comply with the instructions. The warning light (GFI) must be off.
- L0 will appear if the temperature is below 0 °C (30 °F), the temperature probe is defective (open) or not connected. Also, the heating indicator will be present on display and the relay will be closed (current going in the load).
- HI will appear if the temperature is higher than 60 °C (140 °F) or the temperature probe is shorted.
Checking ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
Adjust the setpoint temperature until the heating indicator (
) appears on display. Press on the TEST button. The test is conclusive if the warning light (GFI) on the thermostat is ON and power to the load is cut off. If these events do not occur, check the installation. Press on the RESET button to reset the GFCI.
If the GFCI test fails:
- Check the load wires. The thermostat must be in heating mode to carry out the test (heating indicator ON).
- The GFCI test should be carried out monthly. If the test fails, cut off the electric power to the heating system and call customer service or return the thermostat to your supplier for verification.
- If the warning light comes on during normal operation, cut off power to the heating system and have an electrician verify the installation
OPERATING MODES
MANUAL ( )
- This mode allows you to maintain a constant temperature on the floor.
- To activate this mode, press on Mode button to display the icon.
