SunTouch FLOORSTAT Power Base Thermostat Installation Instructions

SunTouch FLOORSTAT Power Base Thermostat

Introduction

This power base is designed to power a 500650 or 500550 FloorStat front panel module. Refer to the technical specifications for maximum resistive load. The PB112 power module includes a remote input which allows, when a signal is received, switching from comfort mode to vacation mode and vice versa.

Material

• One (1) power base
• Two (2) 6-32 screws 1-1/4 in.
• Four (4) solderless connectors for copper wires
• One (1) temperature sensor with a 15-ft. (4.5-meter) extension and one (1) flat-tip screwdriver.

Installation Guidelines

• High voltage FloorStat must be installed onto an electrical box.
• For a new installation, choose a location about 5 ft. (approximately 1.5 meters) above the floor, with good air circulation.
• The FloorStat must be installed facing the heating system.
• The FloorStat must be installed on an inside wall.
• Avoid locations where there are air drafts (top of staircase, air outlet), dead air spots (behind a door), direct sunlight or concealed chimneys or stove pipes

Installation Steps

1. Connect the rear FloorStat wires to the power and to the load using solderless connectors for copper wires
   • Floor Heating Probe
     • Introduce probe into one of the two holes available below the terminal board.
   • Connect the probe wires to terminals 1 and 2 on the power base.
     Note: No polarity needs to be respected.
   • The probe cable must pass outside the electrical box and follow the wall down to the floor.
     • The temperature sensor wire cannot cross any heater wires and the sensing probe must NOT be directly on or adjacent to a heating wire.
     • For maximum performance, the sensor probe should be centered between the wires in the mat.
2. Push the excess wire (except for the probe) back into the electrical box to prevent interference with the FloorStat.
3. Secure the FloorStat using two (2) 6-32 screws. Once the FloorStat is properly installed, return power to heating system
