PROBLEM
SOLUTIONS
Thermostat’s housing is
hot.
This is normal. When the thermostat is
running at full capacity, its housing can
reach 40 °C (104 °F).
Wrong temperature is
displayed.
Correct if any the following conditions
applies:
•
The thermostat is exposed to an
air draft.
•
The sticker on the thermostat’s
screen has not been removed.
•
The thermostat is located near or
above a heat source such as a
light dimmer.
Wrong time is dis-
played.
The thermostat was without power for
more than 5 hours.
Temperature does not
change according to the
programmed schedule.
•
Ensure the thermostat is in Auto-
matic mode.
•
Check the clock and the schedule.
If the thermostat is configured for
12-hour format, ensure that
PM
appears on the screen when after-
noon times are displayed.
LP
reappears on the
screen and disappears
after a few minutes.
The thermal protection device on the
heater has temporarily opened. This
can happen if the heater is obstructed
by furniture or curtain and has over-
heated, or if the heater’s thermal pro-
tection device is too sensitive.
Display looks faded
when heating is acti-
vated.
The load of the heating system is prob-
ably less than the required minimum.
This thermostat cannot be used for
loads below that rating.
