OJ ELECTRONICS MCD3 Digital Thermostat
INTRODUCTION
The thermostat is an electronic PWM/PI thermostat for temperature control by means of an NTC sensor located either externally or internally within the thermostat. The thermostat is for flush mounting in a wall box. A baseplate for wall mounting is also available. This thermostat can be used as a controller for electric room heating pursuant to EN 50559.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid electric shock, disconnect the heating system power supply at the main panel before carrying out any work on this thermostat and associated components. Protection against electric shock must be guaranteed by appropriate mounting. The requirements of Class II are fulfilled after appropriate mounting (reinforced insulation). Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with appropriate statutory regulations (where required by law). Installation must comply with national and/or local electrical regulations.
Caution
This instruction must be observed, otherwise, the liability of the manufacturer shall be voided. Any changes or modifications made to this thermostat shall void the liability of the manufacturer. Maximum product lifetime is achieved if the product is not turned off but set at the lowest possible set point/frost protection when heat is not required.
Notice
The language used in the original documentation is English. Other language versions are translations of the original documentation. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any errors in the documentation. The manufacturer reserves the right to make alterations without prior notice.
INSTALLING THE SENSOR 
- Insert the sensor cable into a non-conductive conduit embedded in the floor.
- The end of the conduit must be sealed and the conduit placed as high as possible in the concrete layer.
- The floor sensor must be centred between loops of heating cable.
- The two wires from the sensor to the thermostat must be kept separate from high-voltage wires/cables. Place the sensor cable in a separate conduit or segregate it from power cables in some other way. Ensure that the insulation is undamaged on both the electrical wiring and the floor sensor. Never use two spare wires in a multi-core cable
PLACEMENT OF THE THERMOSTAT
The thermostat should be mounted on the wall approx. 1.5 m above the floor in such a way as to allow free air circulation around it. Draughts and direct sunlight or other heat sources must be avoided.
OPENING THE THERMOSTAT
- Switch off the thermostat
- Insert a small screwdriver in the bottom right slot of the thermostat.
- Turn the handle of the screwdriver outwards while gently pulling the right side of the bottom a few millimeters towards you.
- Insert the small screwdriver into the bottom left of the thermostat.
- Turn the handle of the screwdriver outwards while gently pulling the bottom left side a few millimeters towards you.
- When the bottom part of the front is loose, pull the front gently away from the rear part.
MOUNTING THE THERMOSTAT 
- Mount the thermostat in the wall box.
- Ensure that both the power slide button on the cover and the power switch pin in the thermostat are down. Fit the frame and carefully press the cover onto the thermostat – starting with the upper part of the cover, then the lower part of the cover.
- Click the cover into place by applying light, even pressure. Warning! Do not apply pressure to the corners of the display cover or to the display itself.
CONNECTIONS
Ensure that the mains and load cables are connected as shown in the figure
- Terminal 1: Neutral: (N / L2)
- Terminal 2: Phase: (L / L1)
- Terminal 3: Load: (N / L2) Resistive load only
- Terminal 4: Load: (L / L1) Resistive load only
- Terminal S: External override
- Terminal 5: Sensor (no polarity)
- Terminal 6: Sensor (no polarity)
Activated by a 230V signal, possibly through an external control, clock, or timer connected to the S terminal.
