Getting to know the thermostat
With the programmable thermostat 2-pole with touch display (referred to in the following as the thermostat), you can regulate the room and/or floor temperature. The unit is operated using a touch display.
The thermostat can be connected to electrical underfloor heating systems, radiators or valve drives which can be switched.
The thermostat has a weekly clock with an individually adjustable program. Alternatively, you can select one of 3 pre-programmed weekly programs. Various heating modes with individual temperature setpoints are available: comfort mode, eco mode and frost protection mode.
Operating modes
The thermostat can be operated in four different variants.
- Room air: The internal temperature sensor detects the room temperature. The thermostat controls this with the aid of the connected heat load.
- Floor: The floor sensor detects the floor temperature. The thermostat controls this with the aid of the underfloor heating.
- Dual: The internal temperature sensor monitors the room temperature and controls it with the help of the connected heating systems. At the same time, the floor sensor monitors the floor temperature and limits this to the predefined maximum temperature value ("max temp").
This variant is particularly recommended for temperature-sensitive parquet and laminate floors. - PWM: The pulse width modulator (PWM) switches the heating on and off at regular intervals. In PWM mode, you can adjust the desired temperature using the PWM value (see "Settings the PWM value").
The floor sensor does not work in this operating mode. The room temperature limits are met.
External temperature reduction
In all operating modes, you can connect an external switch or time controls for temperature reduction (TR). The internal temperature control is overwritten here.

Setting the temperature for comfort mode

Heating the floor or the room to the desired temperature may take several hours. You should therefore wait a while before increasing the temperature.
Setting the temperature setpoint Touch Display
① Switch to the temperature setpoint display: Press one of the navigation keys.
The setpoint for the room or floor temperature is shown on the display with green underlining.
② Lower (-) or raise (+) the setpoint in steps of 0.5 K using the navigation keys (room air and dual operating modes from 5 °C to 35 °C, floor operating mode from 5 °C to 50 °C).
The desired setpoint for the room temperature in comfort mode is shown on the display.
③ Confirm the new setpoint with the selection key. The standard display opens. If the measured temperature is lower than the new setpoint, the heating turns on. The display shows red underlining during heating.






Settings the PWM value
The pulse width modulator (PWM) switches the heating on and off at regular intervals. In PWM mode, you can adjust the desired temperature using the PWM value. The value is displayed instead of the temperature setpoint, in the same way (see "Setting the temperature setpoint").
The PWM value specifies the percentage that the heating heats in a recurring interval of 10 minutes.
Example:
0%: heating is permanently off
50%: heating is on for 5 minutes, then off for 5 minutes
100%: heating is permanently on

The thermostat automatically returns to the standard display without saving changes if no entries are made for 15 seconds.
