What is a programmable room thermostat?

... an explanation for householders.

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^ , 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 will waste energy and cost you more money.

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. The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in spring and autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.

You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, 'Override', 'Advance' or 'Boost'. These are explained in the manufacturer's instructions. 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 electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat from working property.

User Instructions

Your programmable room thermostat

TP4 & TP5 room thermostats let you programme up to 6 times and temperatures at which your heating will come on and go off each day. With the TP5 you can programme one set of times and temperatures for weekdays and another set for weekends. They feature several user overrides including frost protection.

The TP4 & TP5 come ready programmed with a set of operating times and temperatures which often suit most people.

Your unit is now in RUN mode and the heating will come on and go off at the programmed times.

Before you change the preset programmes

Please Note

The unit must be programmed in sequence and EVENT times cannot be programmed out of sequence.

The event 1 time setting can be set at any time of day (normally in the morning). The time settings for events 2 to 6 can only be placed between the previous setting and 1.59.

If you want to leave a preset time as it is, simply press PROG to move on to the next setting.

During programming, if no buttons are pressed for 2 to 3 minutes the unit will automatically return to RUN mode, and the programme set up to that minute will be active.

If at any time you get confused and need to reset the unit to the preset programmes, press and hold the +, -, ▲ & ▼ buttons at the same time.

User Overrides

Sometimes you may need to change the way you use your heating temporarily, i.e. due to unusually cold weather. The TP4 and TP5 have several user overrides, which can be selected without affecting the thermostat programming.

Temporary override of programmed temperature

The override buttons, ▲ and ▼, can be used to temporarily override the events you have programmed.

For example, you may arrive home early and while you normally have the thermostat set for 16^ C, you may require more heat now. By pressing the up button ▲ on the front of the TP5, the set temperature on the top right of the display begins to increase.

☐ Press ▲ or ▼ until required temperature is displayed.
☐ An up or down arrow (▲ or ▼) will appear in the display to remind you that you have over-ridden the programmed temperature.

The TP5 will remain at this higher temperature until the next pre-set temperature change.

Frost Protection

A constant low temperature of 5^ C can be selected whilst away from home. Setting the thermostat to this temperature will effectively switch off the heating and provide frost protection to areas of the house with central heating.

☐ To set, press the ▲ and ▼ buttons at the same time. The display will show a blinking colon, the low temperature (5°C) and a snowflake.

☐ To return to automatic programming press ▲ and ▼ together again.

☐ When batteries are low a battery symbol will flash in the LCD display.
☐ You have 15 days to replace the battery before the unit will switch off.
☐ When changing batteries, remove old batteries and insert new ones within one minute and programming will not be lost.

IMPORTANT: always use high quality alkaline batteries.

NB. If the display ever goes blank during normal operation, the batteries will need to be renewed, the unit reset and the time and programmes reset.
