Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Touch or WiFi Touch Thermostat. We hope that you will enjoy the ease of use offered by the touchscreen and the intuitively designed user interface. You can program the thermostat in any way you would like with the options provided under Heating Schedule and User Settings. The WiFi-enabled thermostat allows you to both monitor and control the thermostat remotely from a web browser, Android or iOS smartphone or tablet – anytime – anywhere. The thermostat also provides a daily weather forecast once the WiFi/Weather wizard has been set up successfully.* The thermostat comes with a preset heating schedule that is suitable for most homes. Unless you change the settings, the thermostat will operate according to this preset heating schedule. The thermostat features an adaptive function that automatically changes the heating start times to ensure that the required temperature has been reached at the beginning of any specific event. After a few days, the adaptive function will have learned how much earlier the heating must be switched on. The resistive touchscreen only requires a soft tap with your fingertip to register the touch. In this manual, the touch areas on the screen will be referred to as buttons.

General Operation

The thermostat has two physical buttons. A ground fault (GFCI) test button is located on top of the thermostat, and a power/reset button is located on the right side of the thermostat. Test the GFCI monthly. The test has no influence on the settings; data, including time and date, will be stored. The thermostat is an intuitively operated touch thermostat in which the touchscreen is used to navigate through the menus and to change the settings.

Ground Fault

Ground Fault (GFCI) 1/2
The GFCI thermostat has a built-in GFCI that ensures personal safety in case of ground faults. It is important that the GFCI is tested monthly. Installation and use must be according to national and local regulations.

Testing the GFCI:

Press the “TEST” button. The test is successful if the red LED on the right of the thermostat flashes once every two seconds and “GROUND FAULT” appears on the display. If this does not occur, check the installation. Press the “Standby/Reset” button to reset the GFCI. The red LED will stop flashing and the display returns to normal appearance. If the test fails, repeat the test. If it continues to fail, ask an electrician to check the installation. If, during normal operation, the GFCI trips without the “TEST” button being pressed, there could be a ground fault! To check whether it is a ground fault or nuisance tripping, press “Standby/Reset”. If this causes the red LED to stop flashing and stay off, it was nuisance tripping and the system is operating correctly. If this does not occur, there is a ground fault! In case of a ground fault, it is important to have the installation checked by a qualified electrician according to local and national regulations.

Startup Wizard

When the system has been installed and turned on for the first time, or after you have performed a factory reset, the system will run a Startup Wizard. The Wizard will take you through tests, which ensure that the thermostat is fully functional. After the tests, the Wizard leads you through a basic setup routine to ensure that you have the right settings.

Set the language

First, you must set the language. The chosen language will become the default language for the thermostat. The language can be changed under Menu/User Settings/Language.

System Test

A system Test is an automatic test of the thermostat and sensors. If test results in “Fail”, please contact your installer. Note: if the thermostat is to operate with an air/room sensor only, the floor sensor test will result in a “Fail”’ being shown.

Troubleshooting

I CAN’T CONNECT TO MY WIRELESS NETWORK
Problem Solution
Insufficient WiFi signal* Try connecting another device, such as your mobile phone, to your wireless network. Stand next to your WiFi Touch Thermostat and access your phone’s wireless network settings. If the wireless network signal cannot be detected by your phone, or is very weak, other devices may also have trouble connecting to the network from that area of your home. You may be too far away from your WiFi router or there may be a problem with it. If you are too far away from your WiFi router, you can purchase a WiFi signal repeater which will improve the range of the WiFi signal in your home for all devices.
Your WiFi router has insufficient security* With so many home devices now connected to the Internet, we want to make sure that your WiFi Touch Thermostat is connected to a secure network so that hackers cannot gain control of devices in your home. WiFi routers utilize two main types of protective encryption: WEP and WPA. WEP is the original form of encryption and it offers very little security.

Hackers can very easily break into your wireless network if your router is set up for WEP encryption. WEP encryption was replaced with WPA encryption in 1999 and WPA2 in 2006. WPA is a security protocol that makes it much more difficult to break into networks. Your WiFi Touch Thermostat currently supports WPA and WPA2 encryption only. If your router was manufactured after 2003, you should be able to change the setting from WEP to WPA by following the guide in the link: (http://www.tech-faq.com/how-to-change-wep-to-wpa.html). Your WiFi Touch Thermostat can still control your floor heating system without a wireless network connection. As the best course of action, it is recommended that you upgrade your security settings to properly protect your network from hackers. If that is not possible, contact your network administrator.

I CAN’T CONNECT TO MY WIRELESS NETWORK
Problem Solution
I cannot connect to my WiFi router even though there is a good signal* Some WiFi routers limit the number of wireless devices that can connect to the Internet. To test whether this is the problem, shut down one of the other Wi-Fi-enabled devices in your home. Once that device is completely shut down, try once again to connect your WiFi Touch Thermostat to the network. If the WiFi Touch Thermostat connects successfully, consult the documentation for your access point or contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to find out if you can increase the number of simultaneous connections to your WiFi network.
Maybe your WiFi router requires a restart/reboot* The problem might be with your router (even if your other wireless devices are still connected). A simple restart of the router will usually resolve such problems. While most routers simply have to be unplugged and then plugged back into their power source to restart them, you should refer to your router’s documentation for specific instructions.
Maybe your WiFi router firmware needs to be updated* Contact your ISP or the router manufacturer for instructions on how to update the firmware.
Other devices are interfering with the wireless signal* Try turning off other wireless devices (Bluetooth, WiFi, wireless phones/cameras) that may cause interference, then test the WiFi Touch Thermostat’s network connection.
I CAN’T CONNECT TO MY WIRELESS NETWORK
Problem Solution
Your WiFi Touch Thermostat needs a user reset* Restart your WiFi Touch Thermostat. To restart the WiFi Touch Thermostat, go to Menu/User Settings/User Reset and select “Reset Thermostat”. Once your WiFi Touch Thermostat has restarted, go to Menu/WiFi/Weather Settings and try to connect your thermostat again.
