1. Introduction
The Nobo NCU2T Thermostat is designed to provide precise temperature control for electric radiators. Featuring a practical digital display, it allows users to easily set and manage both Comfort and Economy temperatures. This thermostat is ideal for optimizing energy consumption by enabling local management of two distinct temperature settings, particularly useful for reducing heating during night-time hours or periods of absence.
The Economy setting, which can be utilized during the night or when the premises are unoccupied, allows for the radiator to be switched off or maintained at a temperature between 7°C and 30°C, contributing to energy efficiency.

- Mounting: Securely attach the thermostat to the designated slot on your electric radiator according to the radiator's manual.
- Connection: Ensure all electrical connections are made correctly and securely. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
- Power On: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the radiator. The thermostat display should illuminate.

5. Maintenance
The Nobo NCU2T Thermostat requires minimal maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the thermostat's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the display or internal components.
- Dust Removal: Ensure the area around the thermostat and radiator is free from excessive dust buildup, which can affect sensor accuracy.
- Inspection: Occasionally check for any visible damage or loose connections. If any issues are observed, disconnect power and consult a qualified technician.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your NCU2T thermostat, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank | No power supply; loose connection. | Check power to the radiator. Ensure thermostat is securely connected. |
| Radiator not heating | Thermostat set to Economy/Off; incorrect temperature setting; radiator fault. | Verify thermostat settings. Increase Comfort temperature. Check radiator's own power/fault indicators. |
| Temperature inaccurate | Sensor obstructed; thermostat in direct sunlight/draft. | Ensure no objects are blocking the sensor. Relocate if exposed to extreme conditions. |
| Programming not working | Incorrect schedule entry; program not activated. | Review and re-enter programming schedule carefully. Ensure programming mode is active. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Nobo customer support or a qualified technician.
