STELPRO STE241 Low Voltage Electronic Thermostat User Guide Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: User's guide for the STE241 low voltage electronic thermostat (24V).
• Page 2: Warning Before installing and operating this product, the owner and/or installer must read, understand and follow these instructions and keep them handy for future reference. If these instructions are not followed, the warranty will be considered null and void. The following instructions must be adhered to in order to avoid personal injuries or property damages. All electric connections must be made by a qualified electrician, according to the electric and building codes effective in your region. Do not connect this product to a supply source other than 24 VAC and do not exceed the load limits specified. Protect the heating system with the appropriate circuit breaker or fuse. You must regularly clean dirt accumulations on the thermostat. Do not use fluid to clean thermostat air vent. Do not install thermostat in a wet place, but installing it in isolated walls is allowed. The instruction manual may not entirely match all the functions of the actual product.
• Page 3: The STE241 low voltage electronic thermostat (24 V) is designed to control relays. The allowed resistive maximum load is 12 W at 24 V (0.5 A). Relays connected to the thermostat can control electric baseboards, convectors, fan heaters, and electric furnaces. This thermostat can be connected to Stelpro relays. The triac contact is quiet. This thermostat is not compatible with resistive loads of more than 12 W at 24 VAC (0.5 A). The thermostat must be mounted on a wall facing the heating unit, at around 1.5 m (5 feet) above the floor level. Do not install the thermostat in locations where temperature measurements could be altered, such as close to windows or heat sources. Avoid locations with poor air flow or frequent air drafts.
• Page 4: Thermostat mounting and connection Ensure that the air vents of the thermostat are clean and clear of any obstruction. Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw retaining the mounting base and front part of the thermostat. Remove the front part of the thermostat from the mounting base by tilting it upward. The following photos show a connection box installation as a reference only. A connection box is not necessary or required. Align and secure the mounting base using the two screws supplied.
• Page 5: Connect the wires coming from the 24 VAC power source following the appropriate diagram. Connection example #1 involves one baseboard with a transformer and a Stelpro RE-153T electronic relay with a 24 VAC electric relay. Connection example #2 involves two baseboards, one connected to a Stelpro RE-153T electronic thermostat with a 24 VAC transformer, and the second connected to a Stelpro RE-153 electronic thermostat without a 24 VAC transformer.
• Page 6: Connection example #3 illustrates the use of a standard 24 VAC power source with a transformer. The transformer operates at 24 VAC and connects to a contactor or relay. The color of the wires may vary depending on the electronic relays used. Connection diagrams provided are examples only. Reinstall the front part of the thermostat on the mounting base and tighten the screw at the bottom. Turn on the power after installation. Set the thermostat to the desired setting as described in the following section.
• Page 7: Operation Ambient temperature Heating power used indicator Single programming mode Frost-free warning Day mode Night mode Initial start up Temperature set points To adjust the set point, just press down the top button to increase the value, or the bottom button to decrease it.
• Page 8: Day mode and night mode The thermostat includes a Day mode and a Night mode, both having their own independently adjustable and recorded set point. The standard factory set point adjustment is 21°C (70°F) for the Day mode, and 18°C (64°F) for the Night mode. The current Day/Night mode selection is indicated on the display by the Sun or Moon icon. Night mode timer The Night mode features a timer that automatically returns to the Day mode after a selectable time period. The standard factory adjustment of the timer is 8 hours. Night mode timer adjustment procedure Adjust the Day/Night mode set points at the desired temperatures. From the Night mode, simultaneously press down the two buttons for more than 3 seconds until the Moon icon blinks. Adjust the timer by pressing down the top button to increase the value, or the bottom button to decrease it. The adjustment range is from 1 hour to 999 hours.
• Page 9: When the adjustment is completed, release the buttons and wait for 5 seconds to exit the adjustment function. The Night mode timer will be automatically reinitialized to the latest recorded value when switching from the Day mode to the Night mode. The Single programming mode allows alternating between the Day/Night modes and the two corresponding set points over a 24-hour period. Once activated, this mode allows an automatic return to the Night mode after 24 hours. The Single programming mode allows you to define two periods in a single day with different set points. At the end of the 24-hour cycle, the thermostat will return to the Night mode, and the cycle will start over. The 24-hour cycle starts with the Night mode as soon as the Single programming mode is activated. The normal course of a cycle in the Single programming mode includes Night mode activated for the duration of the Night mode timer cycle. If necessary, adjust the Day/Night set point at the desired temperatures. Switch from one mode to the other by simultaneously pressing down the two buttons and releasing them immediately.
• Page 10: From the Night mode, simultaneously press down the two buttons for more than 3 seconds. The Night mode timer adjustment range is from 1 hour to 23 hours in the Single programming mode. If you set the timer to any value exceeding 23 hours, it will be impossible to activate the Single programming mode. Activate the Single programming mode by simultaneously pressing down the two buttons for at least 3 seconds. When the adjustment is completed, release the buttons and wait for 5 seconds to exit the adjustment function. It is always possible to manually change the Day/Night mode during a 24-hour cycle. At the end of the 24-hour cycle, the thermostat will return to the Night mode and start a new cycle. When turning back on after being powered off, the Single programming mode is deactivated. The thermostat can display the ambient temperature and the set point in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. From the day mode, simultaneously press down the two buttons for 8 seconds until the Celsius/Fahrenheit symbol blinks.
• Page 11: When the adjustment is completed, release the buttons and wait for 5 seconds to exit the adjustment function. The level of power used to maintain the temperature at the set point is expressed as a percentage indicated by the number of bars in the thermometer displayed. The heating power used is displayed as follows: 4 bars = 75% to 100% 3 bars = 50% to 75% 2 bars = 25% to 50% 1 bar = 1% to 25% 0 bar = no heat The Snowflake icon is displayed when the temperature set point is between 3°C (37°F) and 5°C (41°F). It is possible to impose a maximum temperature set point by activating the security mode. To activate the security option, adjust the day set point to the desired maximum temperature and press down the two buttons for more than 13 seconds. The thermostat is now locked after activating the security mode. To deactivate the security mode, cut off the thermostat power at the circuit breaker and wait at least 20 seconds.
• Page 12: Turn the thermostat power back on and the icon will blink for a maximum of 5 minutes. Simultaneously press down both buttons for 13 seconds to deactivate the Security mode. The Long/Short cycle activation is similar to the Celsius/Fahrenheit degrees adjustment. To switch from long cycle heating to a short cycle heating, press down both buttons during 8 seconds in Day mode. The screen displays CC to indicate short cycle or CL to indicate the long cycle. In Long cycle, you can adjust the minimum ON/OFF time between the start and shut down of the heating. Adjust the minimum time from 90 to 405 seconds, by increments of 45 seconds. The Long cycle is automatically activated when entering the minimum ON/OFF time selection mode. The thermostat saves parameters in a non-volatile memory to recover them after being shut off. These parameters include Day/Night settings, Single programming mode, and the state of the Security mode.
• Page 13: The parameters are saved every minute if any changes are made, except for the Day/Night mode and the remaining time left on the time-switch. The Single programming mode is not automatically reactivated when the thermostat is turned on. The icon blinks to warn the user that the mode was previously activated when the thermostat was shut off but is no longer active. When power is shut off, the existing Day/Night mode is recovered only if the Single programming mode was previously deactivated. The Day mode is automatically reactivated if the Single programming mode was previously activated. The Security mode is reactivated if it was previously activated, and the icon will blink for 5 minutes. It is possible to deactivate the Security mode by pressing down both buttons simultaneously for 13 seconds. If the Security mode is not deactivated, it will remain activated and the icon will stop blinking. You can activate the Night light option to permanently turn on the backlight. To activate or deactivate the Night light mode, the thermostat must first be set in Day mode.
• Page 14: Troubleshooting Check if the thermostat is properly connected. Refer to the installation section. Heating is always on. Heating does not run even if the thermostat indicates it is on. Check the power supply at the electrical panel. Check if the heating unit has a switch. The display does not come on. Check the presence of an air stream or a heat source near the thermostat.
