Seven models, manual to Wi-Fi
Thermostats and controls
The control is what turns a heated floor into a system you never think about. Seven models, from a manual dial to a dual-zone touchscreen.
X Thermostat
The X Thermostat range is designed to work with the cable, mat and hydronic products we install, so the control and the floor are matched rather than assembled from whatever was on the shelf. There are seven models, all with floor sensing, and the right one depends on how the room is used rather than how much you want to spend.
Every thermostat reads the floor through an NTC sensor rated 15 kOhm at 25°C. We run that sensor inside a conduit between two cable runs, so if it ever fails it can be pulled out and replaced without touching the tiles.
Choosing a model
TS 100 is a wall-mounted manual dial, and TS 200 is the same idea semi-recessed into the wall. Both suit a room where the heating goes on and off by hand.
TS 300 is semi-recessed and programmable, which is the first model that will run a schedule for you.
TS 400 is a manual thermostat on a DIN rail inside the switchboard, for set-and-forget systems where nobody should be adjusting anything.
TS 500 is fully programmable with a colour touch screen, mountable vertically or horizontally, in white or black.
TS 600 adds Wi-Fi to the TS 500, so the floor can be turned up from the car on the way home through the Devex app.
TS 700 is a fully programmable dual-zone touchscreen with two outputs, one sensed and one not. That is what makes it the right answer for a bathroom, because it runs the heated floor and the heated towel rail from a single plate on the wall.
Installation
The thermostat sits on its own circuit with residual current protection, connected by a licensed electrician. Semi-recessed models need a standard wall box roughed in before the plasterboard goes up, so the position is worth deciding early.
We set the schedule and the floor limit at handover and show you how to change them, rather than leaving a manual on the bench.
For a house split into several heated areas, each zone gets its own thermostat and sensor so rooms that are not being used are not being heated.
Things to consider
- Decide the thermostat position before the plasterboard goes on
- Semi-recessed models need a wall box roughed in
- One thermostat and sensor per heated zone
- Thermostats should not be loaded beyond 75% of the marked current
- The TS 700 runs a floor and a towel rail from one unit
- Frost-heave controllers are available for cold-store floors
