Application

The RLV3100 thermostat can be used to control an electric heating system such as an electric baseboard heater, a radiant ceiling, a radiant floor, a convector, etc.

The thermostat cannot be used with the following:

• a resistive load under 2 A
• a resistive load over 12.5 A
• systems driven by a contactor or a relay (inductive load)
• fan-forced heating systems
• central heating systems

Supplied Parts

• One (1) thermostat
• Two (2) 6-32 mounting screws
• Two (2) solderless connectors
• The thermostat displays the percentage of heating time required to maintain the desired temperature. For example, is displayed when heating is activated 40 percent of the time.

Installation

TURN OFF POWER OF THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Loosen the screw underneath the thermostat and separate the front plate from the base plate.

The screw cannot be completely removed.

Connect the thermostat wires to the power and to the load using solderless connectors for copper wires. The thermostat wires are not polarized; meaning either wire can be connected to the load or to the power supply.

All cables and connections must comply with local electrical codes. This thermostat has tinned copper wires for line and load connections. Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used if these wires will be connected to aluminium conductors.

• Fig. 1 2-wire Installation.
• Fig. 2 4-wire Installation.

Mount the back plate to the electrical box using the provided screws. Insert the screws through the left or right pair of mounting holes of the back plate.

Set the switch on the back of the front plate to °C or °F to select the temperature display format.

Re-install the front plate of the thermostat on the base plate and secure it in place with the screw underneath the thermostat.

If there is a protective film or sticker on the display, peel it off.

Apply power to the heating system. Verify the installation by checking that the heater can be turned On and Off by raising and lowering the setpoint using the buttons.

Temperature Display and Setting

The thermostat normally displays the actual (measured) temperature.

• To view the set temperature (setpoint),press once on either of the temperature  adjustment buttons.
• To change the setpoint, press the appropriate button until the desired value is displayed

The display is backlit for 10 seconds when you press any button.

Keep the thermostat’s air vents clean and free from obstructions at all times.

Power Outage

The setpoint is stored in non-volatile memory and is not erased when there is a power outage.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	SOLUTIONS
Thermostat is hot.	This is normal. Under normal operation, the thermostat housing can reach a temperature between 95 °F (35 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C).
Displayed temperature is wrong.	Correct if any the following conditions applies: The thermostat is exposed to 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.
Display disappears and reappears after a few minutes.	The thermal protection device on the heater was temporarily opened. This can happen if the heater is obstructed by furniture or curtain and has overheated, or if the heater’s thermal protection device is too sensitive.
Display looks faded when heating is activated.	The heating system is less than the required minimum load. This thermostat cannot be used below that rating.
