Thermostat Controls and Display
The following figure shows the thermostat controls. The thermostat has
three temperature control modes:
•
AF mode: (Default mode) Controls the ambient air temperature and
maintains the floor temperature within the desired limits using an
external temperature sensor
•
F mode: Controls the floor temperature using an external floor
sensor
•
A mode: Controls the ambient air temperature

Place the switch in Standby to cut power to the heater when not in use
(e.g., in the summer). This will not affect the time and temperature
settings.

To reset the ground-fault protection, switch the thermostat to Standby
and back to On.

The thermostat displays the percentage of heating time required to
maintain the desired temperature. For example,
heating is activated 40 percent of the time.

Ground-Fault Protection
The QuickStat-TC has a built-in GFCI (5 mA trip level). This protects
users against risks of electrocution by cutting off the power to the
floor heating system when the leakage current exceeds 5 mA. If a
ground-fault has occurred, the TEST light on the top of the
thermostat will illuminate red and GFI will appear on the screen.
Testing the GFCI
Users should test the GFCI after the installation of the QuickNet floor
heating system is complete to ensure that the ground-fault protection is
in working order. Users should test the GFCI on a monthly basis
thereafter.
1. The GFCI can only be tested if the thermostat has a heating
demand. Increase the setpoint temperature above the current
measured temperature. Wait several seconds to allow the
thermostat to adjust to the new set point and the heating symbol
appears.
2. Press the TEST button.
The test is successful if the TEST light on top of the thermostat
illuminates red and GFI appears on the screen.
The test has failed if the TEST light on top of the thermostat does not
illuminate red. In this case, turn the power off to the floor heating
system and check the installation of the thermostat.
Resetting the GFCI
If the GFCI has tripped, reset it by switching the thermostat to Standby
and back to On. The TEST light on top of the thermostat will go off.
If the GFCI trips in normal operation without pressing the TEST button,
there could be a ground-fault. To check whether it is a ground-fault
or nuisance tripping, reset the GFCI. If the GFCI does not trip after the
reset, it was nuisance tripping and the system is functioning properly.
If the GFCI trips again after the reset, there is a ground-fault. The user
should contact a qualified electrician to troubleshoot the issue.
