• Page 2: Introduction & Features Time:o:stat is a thermostat designed for HMO and 'bills included' rental properties. The Time:o:stat is tamper-proof and easy to use. It regulates temperature while controlling the heating period through a time delay countdown timer. When the time runs out, the heating shuts down, lowering heating bills while allowing tenants to operate the heating when home. Time:o:stat can replace an existing room thermostat, typically requiring one per house unless there are multiple boilers or separate switched heating zones. Time:o:stat is available in four different models: Wired (Battery), Wired (Mains), Wireless, and 2 channel. Countdown heating duration is the main operating mode, with a default maximum duration of 2 hours for each heating period. Time can be added to the Time:o:stat at any point to re-start or prolong the heating period. Featured settings can be changed by following the guide for advanced settings setup in section 3. The default duration limit for heating is 2 hours.
• Page 3: Auto-program modes allow a limited period of time to be automatically added to the countdown timer twice per day. The default for the auto-program is 1 hour, adjustable to 2 or 3 hours in advanced settings. The default temperature for the auto-program is 21°C, which can be changed to 23°C. Occupants can adjust the start times of the auto-program by holding down the designated button. The auto-program is active while the two start times are visible on the screen. Maximum temperature that can be selected is 28°C, which can be restricted to 23°C. Minimum temperatures can be set to ensure the house does not fall below a certain temperature. The default minimum temperature is 14°C, with options to set it to 7, 14, 18, 19, or 20°C. Comfort mode can be activated in advanced settings, allowing up to 8 hours to be added to the countdown. The minimum temperature can also be deactivated.
• Page 4: Duration affects maximum temperature limits. 0-2 hours has no temperature limit. 3-4 hours limits temperature to a maximum of 21°C. 5-6 hours limits temperature to 20°C. 7-8 hours limits temperature to 19°C. Night comfort mode restricts comfort mode to night hours. Seasonal mode automatically changes settings during summer months. Countdown heating duration is limited to 2 hours in seasonal mode. Maximum temperature in seasonal mode is set to 23°C. Hot water modes include two daily heating durations or a 24-hour setting.
• Page 5: Quick start guide To start the heating, add time to the countdown using button (A). Select desired temperature using buttons (C) (D). Additional time is added by repeatedly pressing button (A). The hot water can be boosted (on/off) by pressing button (B). The autoprogram times can be activated by pressing button (T). To set autoprogram times, hold button (T) for 3 seconds. The screen will also show the current room temperature. If the target temperature is above the room temperature, the radiator symbol will show and the boiler will turn on. The Time:o:stat will instruct the boiler to heat the house to the target temperature for the duration of the countdown time. The tap symbol displays when the hot water tank is being heated.
• Page 6: Configuring your Time:o:stat The Time:o:stat is shipped with the default advanced settings and locking bitswitch disabled. It is recommended that the locking bitswitch is enabled following changes to the advanced settings. To adjust the advanced settings, press and hold the button (A) and button (C) then button (T) for around 3 seconds. Setup 1 screen (For selecting countdown duration) will then be displayed. In the top right of the screen, the advanced setting option being selected is displayed. To change the advanced setting, cycle the options using the + and – buttons (C) and (D). To move to the next setup screen, press the (T) button below the screen. The table shows the options for each advanced setting. The default setting is in bold.
• Page 7: The final info screen displays a summary of the selected advanced settings. It is also the RF signal test screen for wireless models. The optimal position for the best signal strength can be selected for wireless models. The advanced settings can be locked to prevent tampering. To lock the settings, switch bitswitch 1 to the up ‘on’ position. Bitswitch 1 is located to the right of the T button. This will prevent changing the advanced settings until bitswitch 1 is returned to the down ‘off’ position. The Time:o:stat automatically adjusts for BST, making it essential to set the correct date/time. You can set the clock when new batteries are inserted or by following a specific procedure. Hold the left side radiator and tap buttons for 3 seconds to access the date setting screen.
• Page 8: Repeat the same process to continue to set the year and finally the time using the 24 hour clock format. Changing the wireless (RF) channel may be necessary if operating two Time:o:stats in close proximity. To change the channel, turn off the power to the boiler. Remove both the Time:o:stat controller and receiver from the wall brackets. Adjust bitswitch settings viewed through the aperture on the back of the receiver with a pin. Change the settings on the Time:o:stat master to match. Following any setting change, you will need to reset the control unit by holding the right side (+) and (-) buttons for 3 seconds. Perform a reset by holding the right side (+) and (-) buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to show the advanced settings info screen. The signal strength indicator is dynamic, allowing you to move the unit around to find a location with stronger signal strength.
• Page 9: To exit this mode and return to normal operation press the (:t:) button. A desirable signal strength is at least 2 bars. Below this indicates a poor signal strength. When connected there will be a small network icon displayed in the bottom right of the screen and the signal strength bars will disappear. Connection problems can be prevented by carefully considering the location of the Time:o:stat master and receiver at the point of installation. The radio frequency (RF) used by the wireless Time:o:stat passes easily through internal stud walls but poorly through solid brick. RF is also disturbed by metal household appliances such as microwaves, cookers, and fridges. When wiring the receiver, mount it outside of any cupboard and where the line of signal does not travel through the boiler itself. Typically the wireless Time:o:stat has a range of 15 meters, through three stud walls. It will only reliably pass through a single solid brick wall and the range will be dramatically reduced. You can check the RF signal quality of the Time:o:stat when mounted in the desired location by following the signal testing procedure.
• Page 10: troubleshooting How do I change the time? If the incorrect time is showing, it can be changed by pressing/holding the left-hand side radiator and tap buttons for 3 seconds. You will be asked to set the date, month, year, and time. Use the + and – buttons to initially change the date. Press the central (:t:) button to confirm at each step. Low signal displayed + flashing red LED? Check the orientation of the receiver and how it is mounted on the wall. The internal aerial in the black Time:o:stat receiver works best when mounted vertically in the suggested landscape orientation. Placing it horizontal or in a portrait position will drastically reduce the communication range. Check the green light is showing on the Time:o:stat receiver next to the boiler.
• Page 11: Check for low battery symbol showing on the Time:o:stat. If present, replace the existing batteries with new high performance AA batteries. Check signal strength and follow the wireless signal strength testing procedure and Wireless Time:o:stat location guide. Check the communication channel; Time:o:stats are factory paired and do not require pairing. You can check that the Master and receiver IDs are the same by looking through the aperture on the back of both the receiver and the master. If changing the RF channel, you must always reset the unit by holding the right side (+) and (-) buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Check the range; the controller and its receiver may be too far apart or there are solid walls in-between the units. Relocate the wireless Time:o:stat closer to the receiver, minimizing metallic and solid objects in its line of sight. Try to wake the Time:o:stat by pressing the top left tap button. Factory reset the unit by removing the batteries, then press a few buttons to clear any charge from the memory. Replace the batteries and reset the unit by pressing/holding the right hand side + and - temperature buttons for 3 seconds.
• Page 12: Low battery symbol is showing? Remove the batteries, then press a few buttons to clear any charge from the memory, wait for 30 seconds. Then replace the batteries with new AA high performance batteries. Low battery levels may be insufficient for radio frequency signal to operate correctly. Heating is on when it should be off? Reset the unit by holding the right hand side red + and blue - temperature buttons for 3 seconds. Check hot water usage is not being called for that would result in the boiler running. Check RF interference from another Time:o:stat. Time:o:stats are factory paired and do not require pairing. Is the wiring correct? This should be checked by a qualified person. Check mains voltage has not passed through the low voltage contacts which may have damaged the unit during installation. Heating is off when it should be on? Check the boiler's master thermostat is not too low. Check the heating is set to 'constantly on' on the boiler.
• Page 13: Is the wiring incorrect? This should be checked by a qualified person. Check mains voltage has not passed through the low voltage contacts which may have damaged the unit during installation. Maximum switchable current is 2A. The two auto-program times displayed at the top of the screen run according to the main clock in the top centre of the screen. Ensure this is showing the correct 24hr time. If the incorrect time is showing then this can be changed by pressing/holding the left hand side radiator and tap buttons for 3 seconds.
• Page 14: 2-Channel Time:o:stat Installation Guide An electrician is required to install the Time:o:stat. Wiring the Wireless Receiver mounting bracket involves several steps. Remove the mounting bracket by loosening the holding screw through the front. Isolate the power to the boiler at the fused spur. Using 5A mains rated 3184Y flex, follow the wiring instructions in the diagram. Connect the Live 1 and Neutral 2 from the wiring centre to the L and N terminals on the Time:o:stat mounting bracket. Check the wiring centre is correctly configured. Secure the wired mounting bracket to the wall. Ensure the dip switch settings match those in the Time:o:stat controller. Hook and push the Time:o:stat receiver front panel onto the wired mounting plate.
• Page 15: Connecting the Time:o:stat Master Controller Remove the battery cover from the master unit. Remove the mounting bracket by loosening the holding screw located behind the battery cover. Secure the blank mounting bracket to the wall in the desired position for the Time:o:stat. Hook and push the Time:o:stat controller in place and secure with the screw. Insert the supplied AA batteries and set time/date. Replace and secure the battery cover.
