GENERAL INFORMATION
PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS
What is a programmable room thermostat?
A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set 'On' and 'Off' time periods to suit your own lifestyle.
A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached.
So, a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it should reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different temperatures in your home at different times of the day (and days of the week) to meet your particular needs.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design of the heating system, for example, the size of boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a lower setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy.
The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with at the different times you have chosen, and then leave it alone to do its job.
The best way to do this is to set low temperatures first, say 18°C, and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the temperatures.
You won't have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustments above these settings may waste energy.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one programmable room thermostat to control the whole house.
But you can have different temperatures in individual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on individual radiators.
If you don't have TRVs, you should choose a temperature that is reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you can choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other rooms by adjusting the TRVs.
Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat from working properly.
GENERAL INFORMATION
OPERATING CONTROLS
Digistat Programmable Thermostat
The Digistat Programmer has factory set programs for ON/OFF periods for central heating which are described on the following pages.
These factory installed settings can be used without any further programming.
Clock Setting
The Digistat Programmable Thermostat is fitted with a real-time clock, which is pre-set at the factory. You will not have to set the time.
A special feature of this real-time clock is to automatically update the time during the summer/winter time change removing the need to manually alter the clock.

NOTE: The temperature displayed is actual room temperature unless adjusting the + or - button when the set temperature is displayed. Once adjustment is complete and after a 5 second delay the display will return to the actual room temperature.
General Operation
With the unit in Auto mode (the small arrow to bottom of screen will point to Auto) the temperature can be changed for a short time by using the + or - buttons. Changing the temperature in this way will keep the Programmer set to your new temperature until the next pre-programmed event (at which time it will revert to programmed temperature). The temperature you are setting will flash on the screen. Once temperature is set, the unit will revert to showing the current temperature. The flame indicator will show on the screen if the heating is turned on.
DIGISTAT
PRE-PROGRAMMED SETTINGS
The Digistat Programmer
This is a 24-hour programmable thermostat product (the same program for every day of the week) which allows you to set up to 6 time and temperature events per day.
Pre-set Program 1
The following default settings are pre-programmed for your convenience:
Every day
As shown, at 06:30, the heating will come on to raise the temperature to 20°C. At 08:30, the temperature set point is dropped from 20°C down to 16°C, it stays at 16°C throughout the day, until 16:30 when the temperature increases to 21°C. The temperature then drops down to a night-set-back temperature of 7°C until 06:30 when the cycle repeats for the next day.
| Event 1 | 2 3 4 | 5 6 | ||||
| Time 0 | 6:30 0 | 8:30 1 | 2:00 1 | 4:00 1 | 6:30 2 | 22:30 |
| Temp. | 20 | 16 | 16 | 16 | 21 | 7 |

To switch the thermostat OFF:
Press the + and - simultaneously for 5 seconds until the OFF is displayed.
The thermostat and heating system will now be OFF unless the temperature in the controlled space falls below 7°C, the frost protection set point.
Please note this does not affect the operation of the domestic hot water where provided.
To switch ON the thermostat, press any key to return to auto mode.

If enabled, the start time should be set an hour earlier than the time you want the property to reach the set temperature.
Intelligent Start will delay that start time, by an amount that it has calculated based on the actual and set temperature.
As the weather becomes milder, the start time is delayed, so that fuel is not wasted bringing the room up to temperature earlier than necessary.
The Digistat calculates approximately 10 minutes to raise the temperature by 1° C, up to a maximum of 6° C.
Note:
Intelligent Delayed Start only applies in Auto mode. Intelligent Delayed Start default is in OFF mode. To switch ON Intelligent Delayed Start enter the Installer Options Menu (see Installer Options 06).
