Before proceeding, ensure power to the HVAC system is OFF at the circuit breaker.
- Carefully remove the front cover of the thermostat to expose the wiring terminals.
- Connect the electrical cables from your HVAC system to the corresponding terminals on the thermostat. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your HVAC system or consult a professional for specific connections. The thermostat operates on 230V.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
5.3 Mounting the Thermostat
- Once wired, secure the thermostat base to the wall using the provided mounting screws and wall anchors.
- Carefully reattach the front cover of the thermostat, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
- Restore power to the HVAC system at the circuit breaker.

6. Operating Instructions
The TD230W thermostat features a user-friendly touch control interface and an LCD display for easy operation.
6.1 Initial Power-On
Upon first power-on, the thermostat may prompt you to set the current time and day. Follow the on-screen instructions using the touch controls.
6.2 Basic Temperature Control
- Adjusting Temperature: Use the + and - touch buttons (if present, or implied by "Touch Control") on the display to increase or decrease the desired temperature.
- Mode Selection: The thermostat typically supports heating, cooling, and auto modes. Use the mode button (if present) to cycle through these options.
- Backlight: The LCD display features a backlight for improved visibility. It may activate automatically upon touch or have a dedicated button.
6.3 Programming Schedules
The TD230W is a programmable thermostat, allowing you to set different temperatures for various times of the day and days of the week. Refer to the on-screen menu for detailed programming steps. Common programming options include:
- Weekday/Weekend Schedules: Set different programs for weekdays and weekends.
- Multiple Periods: Typically allows for 4-6 temperature periods per day (e.g., Wake, Leave, Return, Sleep).
- Temporary Override: Temporarily adjust the temperature without changing the programmed schedule.
- Permanent Hold: Maintain a set temperature indefinitely until manually changed.
6.4 BACnet MS/TP Integration
For advanced users and building management systems, the TD230W supports BACnet MS/TP protocol. Consult your building management system administrator or a qualified technician for integration details and configuration. This feature allows for remote monitoring and control of the thermostat within a larger network.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your thermostat.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the thermostat's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray cleaners directly onto the unit.
- Battery Replacement: The back of the unit indicates it uses 2x1.5V AA batteries. These are likely for memory backup or to power the display during power outages. Replace batteries annually or when a low battery indicator appears on the display. To replace, carefully remove the thermostat from its wall mount (refer to installation steps in reverse), access the battery compartment on the back, replace the batteries, and re-mount.
- Air Vents: Ensure that any small vents on the thermostat casing are free from dust and debris to allow for accurate temperature sensing.
8. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your FLOMASTA TD230W thermostat, try the following solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank or dim. | No power, loose wiring, dead batteries (if applicable for display). | Check circuit breaker. Ensure wiring is secure. Replace AA batteries if present. |
| Thermostat not controlling HVAC. | Incorrect wiring, HVAC system off, thermostat in wrong mode. | Verify wiring connections. Check HVAC system power. Ensure thermostat is in heating/cooling mode. |
| Temperature reading seems inaccurate. | Thermostat location, blocked air vents. | Ensure thermostat is not near heat sources or drafts. Clean any dust from vents. |
| Cannot program schedule. | Incorrect settings, user error. | Review "Operating Instructions" section on programming. Reset thermostat to factory defaults if necessary (consult manufacturer for procedure). |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact a qualified HVAC technician or the manufacturer's support.
