Frequently Asked Questions - TRA246 JUNG

How do I install the JUNG TRA246 thermostat?

Mount the thermostat on the wall at a height of about 1.5 m, away from direct sunlight and drafts. Connect the wires as per the diagram in the manual. Insert the batteries and the device will power on.

How do I set the temperature?

Press the + or - buttons to adjust the desired temperature. The current setpoint will blink. Press Mode to switch between heating, cooling, or off.

How do I program the weekly schedule?

Press and hold the P button for 3 seconds to enter programming mode. Use + and - to set the time and temperature for each period. Confirm with OK. There are 4 periods per day (Morning, Day, Evening, Night).

How do I reset the thermostat to factory settings?

Press and hold the Mode and OK buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The display will reset and show the default settings.

Why is the display blank?

Check if the batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace them if needed. If the problem persists, the device may be faulty.

What does the snowflake symbol mean?

The snowflake indicates frost protection mode. If the room temperature drops below 5°C, the thermostat will activate heating to prevent freezing.

Can I use this thermostat with a heat pump?

Yes, the TRA246 is compatible with most heating and cooling systems, including heat pumps. Ensure the wiring matches your system; consult a professional if unsure.

How often should I replace the batteries?

Batteries typically last about 2 years. Replace them when the low battery indicator appears on the screen. Use high-quality alkaline batteries.

How do I clean the thermostat?

Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the device.

What should I do if the thermostat is not responding?

Remove the batteries, wait 30 seconds, and reinsert them. If still unresponsive, perform a factory reset or contact JUNG support.

Operating instructions

1 Safety instructions

Electrical devices may only be mounted and connected by electrically skilled persons.

Serious injuries, fire or property damage possible. Please read and follow manual fully.

Danger of electric shock. Always disconnect before carrying out work on the devise or load.

A relative air humidity of max. 95% may not be exceeded. Avoid any moisture condensation.

These instructions are an integral part of the product, and must remain with the end customer.

2 Structure of the device

Exploded view diagram of an electrical switchgear with numbered parts and labeled components

The room temperature controller is used to regulate the temperature in closed rooms such as flats, schools, function suites, workshops, etc.

Product characteristics

Neutral conductor required

TR 231 U / TR 241 U:

• Separate terminal for temperature reduction of 5 K (e.g. during night time)
• ON/OFF switch with status LED

- When set temperature is reached the contact opens up.

TR 236 U / TR 246 U:

• No OFF-position
• Without switch and control LED
• When set temperature is reached the NO/NC contact switches over.

4 Information for electrically skilled persons

Installation and electrical connection

DANGER

Electric shock from touching live parts in the installation environment.

An electric shock can be fatal.

Before working on the device, disconnect the power and cover live parts in the area.

• Mount the room temperature controller on an internal wall opposite the heat source if possible.
• Do not mount the room temperature controller on outside walls.
• Avoid draughts from windows and doors.
• Ensure that the normal air circulation in the room reaches the controller without any obstacles.
• External heat sources influence the accuracy of the controller. Avoid direct sunlight and do not place heat-emitting devices in the vicinity of the room temperature controller (heaters, lamps, etc.).
• Dimmers also generate heat.
  If a controller is installed in a common switch frame with a dimmer, the distance between them should be as great as possible. When arranging them vertically, the controller must be installed underneath the dimmer.

Installation

- Mount room temperature controller in a switch box in accordance with DIN 49073.

Mounting height: approx. 1.5 m above the floor

- Clip the rocker (4) on the switch in the flush insert. (fig. 1)

- Place the center plate together with the frame on the flush insert. The center plate must snap in place in the top left of the housing base.

• Tighten the screw (5). (fig. 1)

5 Operation

Restricting the temperature setting range

The temperature controller is set ex works to the maximum setting range of 5 °C to 30 °C.

30°C 5°C

Fig. 6: Temperature setting range

Two adjustment rings are located in the setting knob. You can use these rings to restrict the temperature setting range required e.g. between 8 °C and 23 °C.

Procedure:

- Select the temperature limits.

Example: min 8 °C, max. 23 °C

- Important!

First position the setting knob roughly in the centre of the required setting range.

Example: The centre point between 8 °C and 23 °C is approximately 15 °C.

- Now remove the setting knob.

- Set the red locating ring to the max. temperature limit.

Example: 23 °C

- Rotate anti-clockwise.

The numbers on the outer dial apply!

- Insert the tip of a pen in the hole and turn the red ring to the left until it reaches 23^ (max. scale).

- Set the blue locating ring to the min. temperature limit.

Example: 8 °C

- Rotate clockwise.

The numbers on the inner dial apply.

- Insert the tip of a pen in the hole and turn the blue ring to the right until it reaches 8^ C (min. scale).
