DESCRIPTION

This thermostat is designed to control baseboard and convector heaters. It may be added (included) in a Z-Wave network. This thermostat is NOT compatible with the following installations

• Inductive load
• Central Heating System
• Fan-forced heater (unit containing motor and fan)
• Heating load outside the specified ratings (Refer to the section ‘’Technical Specifications’’)

Parts supplied

• one (1) thermostat;
• one (1) wall mounting plate located at the back of the thermostat;
• two (2) mounting screws;
• two (2) solderless connectors suitable for copper wires

INSTALLATION

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:

• close to a window, on an external wall, or close to a door leading outside;
• exposed directly to the light or heat of the sun, a lamp, a fireplace, or any other heat source;
• close or in front of an air outlet;
• close to concealed ducts or a chimney; and
• in a location with poor airflow (e.g. behind a door), or with frequent air drafts (e.g. head of stairs).

Thermostat mounting and connection

1. Cut off the power supply on lead wires at the electrical panel in order to avoid any risk of electric shock.
2. If an existing thermostat is being replaced, remove the previous thermostat.
3. Ensure that the air vents of the Ki thermostat are clean and clear of any obstruction.
4. Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw retaining the mounting base of the thermostat (do not completely remove the screw).
5. Then, remove the mounting base at the back of the thermostat by tilting it downward, then towards you.  Align and secure the mounting base to the connection box using the two screws supplied.
6. Pass the wires from the wall through the hole at the base of the mounting base and connect them using the supplied solderless connectors. When making the connection with aluminum wire, make sure that you are using connectors identified CO/ALR. Please note that the thermostat wires do not have polarity. Therefore, the way they are connected is not important.
7. Place all the wires into the connection box.
8. Align the little slots located on the top of the thermostat with those on the mounting base and secure the thermostat to the mounting base. Note that you can also position the thermostat on the left or right side of the junction box (see the illustrations below). Then, tighten the screw at the bottom of the unit.

OPERATION

Ambient temperature
The temperature is displayed either in °C with a 0.5°C resolution or in °F with a 1°F resolution. The screen will display LO if the temperature drops below 0°C (32°F) and will display HI if the temperature rises above 50°C (122°F).

Temperature set points
The set point may be edited by the user using the UP and DOWN buttons located on the thermostat  The set point may also be modified through the Z-Wave network. The minimum set point is 5°C (41°F) and the maximum set point is 30°C (86°F).
NOTE: if the set point is set at 7°C (45°F) or below, the frost-free warning icon will be displayed to warn the user that water pipes might be subject to freezing.

Heating Power Indicator
Whenever the thermostat is actively heating the room, the heating status graph will display the heating percentage.

1. bar: 1-25%
2. bars: 26-50%
3. bars: 51-75%
4. bars: 76-100%
5. No bar: 0%

Thermostat mode
The thermostat has two modes: Comfort and Eco. Each mode has its own set point pre-set Comfort: 21°C (70°F), Eco ( ): 17°C (63°F). The user may change the set point to any value in the range described in the set point section. When the Eco mode is active, the Eco icon ( ) is displayed on the LCD. The thermostat mode may be changed locally on the thermostat by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for less than 3 seconds while on the main screen. The Eco set point is local to the thermostat and cannot be edited through the Z-Wave network. If a set point change is sent through the Z-Wave network, the thermostat mode will automatically switch to Comfort mode. The Z-wave modes are described in the following table:

Then press the UP and DOWN buttons to start the inclusion process. During inclusion, “On” will be blinking and the connectivity icon will be animated in an increasing pattern. When the inclusion process has been completed, On will be displayed solid. If an error occurs, “Err” will be displayed for 3 seconds then the screen will revert to the “Off” selection.

Exclusion
Make sure the Z-Wave hub is in the exclude mode (Refer to your Z-Wave hub instruction manual). To remove (exclude) the thermostat from a Z-Wave network, enter Menu1 (Z-Wave menu) and select “Off”. Then press the UP and DOWN buttons to start the exclusion process. During exclusion, “Off” will be blinking and the connectivity icon will be animated in a decreasing pattern. When the exclusion process has been completed, Off will be displayed solid. If an error occurs, “Err” will be displayed for 3 seconds then the screen will revert to the “On” selection. To achieve better network performance, it is recommended to always add (include) your Z-Wave devices starting from the closest one to the farthest one. Note: Each time the inclusion or exclusion process is started, the thermostat will send a “Node

Information Frame”
Z-Wave Association The Z-Wave Association Command Class is supported by the thermostat. The thermostat supports the lifeline as Group 1 and only one Node Id is supported in this group (the Z-Wave controller). The following reports are sent via Lifeline :

• Basic Report
• Device Reset Locally Notification
• Thermostat Mode Report
• Thermostat Setpoint Report
• Sensor Multilevel Report
• Thermostat Operating State Report

Z-Wave Basic command class
The Z-Wave Basic command class is supported by the thermostat in the following way: To trigger the Eco mode on the thermostat: Send it a Basic SET (0x00) command (Energy Saving Mode) To trigger the Comfort mode on the thermostat: Send it a Basic SET (0xFF) command (Comfort Mode)

Factory Reset
The thermostat may be manually reset to its factory state. When this is performed, all parameters are reset to their default values and the thermostat is removed (excluded) from the Z-Wave network. To reset the thermostat to its default state:

• Enter the advanced settings
• Enter the °STELPRO menu (menu 6)
• Navigate to the “def” screen using the UP or DOWN buttons.
• Enter the “def” menu by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons for less than 3 seconds
• Select “yes” and confirm the selection by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons for less than 3 seconds.

If the thermostat was added (included) in a Z-wave network, it will send a ‘’device reset locally’’ notification. The thermostat will then reset itself. Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

Outdoor Temperature
When connected to a Z-Wave network, the thermostat may display the outdoor temperature provided by an external sensor. When available, the outdoor temperature is displayed instead of the set point, providing that the outdoor temperature display setting is set to on. If no temperature is received within a 4 hours timeframe, the outdoor temperature will disappear
and the set point will be displayed. In order to display the outdoor temperature, an external sensor needs to be part of the Z-Wave network. It may be a physical sensor or a weather station app. Refer to your Z-Wave hub controller instructions manual to find out how to associate both devices. On some Z-Wave hub controllers, an app may be used to provide the outdoor temperature.
