What is a Programmable Room Thermostat?

A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set 'On' and 'Off' time periods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached.

So, a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it should reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different temperatures in your home at different times of the day (and days of the week) to meet your particular needs.

Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design of the heating system, for example, the size of boiler and radiators.

Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down. Turning a programmable room thermostat to a lower setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy.

The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with at the different times you have chosen, and then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to set low temperatures first, say 18°C, and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the temperatures. You won't have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustments above these settings will waste energy and cost you more money.

If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one programmable room thermostat to control the whole house. But you can have different temperatures in individual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on individual radiators. If you don't have TRVs, you should choose a temperature that is reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you can choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other rooms by adjusting the TRVs.

The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in spring and autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.

You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, 'Override', 'Advance' or 'Boost'. These are explained in the manufacturer's instructions.

Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat from working properly.

FAQ's & Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Guide

FAQ's & Troubleshooting

How do I change the batteries on the CM927 when they run out?

The thermostat constantly monitors the battery power level, which typically lasts for about 2 years before needing replaced. When the power is running low a flashing [i] symbol will be displayed on the screen. To change the batteries follow the steps in the above section (‘STEP 1: Installing the Batteries' on page 3), replacing the used batteries with new ones in step c.

Note: While changing the batteries your program settings will be stored but you may need to adjust the time and date settings to be correct.

How do I set one temperature for the whole day?

To operate as a simple thermostat with one temperature for a period of time, move the slider switch to the MAN position. Adjust the manual temperature by pressing the [+] or [-] buttons. This can be set anywhere from 5°C to 35°C in 0.5°C steps. The thermostat will continue to maintain this temperature until another operating mode is selected or the temperature is adjusted.

What is Optimum Start?

Optimum Start is a program which ensures that the optimum temperature conditions are achieved at the required times. This is an Energy Efficiency feature that adjusts the start time of your heating system depending upon how cold it is. For example, on cold days your heating system will be started earlier to ensure that your home is warm when you get up (at the target temperature) and on warmer days the heating system will be started later to save energy. So, if the Optimum Start Feature is used, then the time / temperature settings which are entered into the thermostat should be set to when you want to be warm by and not when you want the heating system to start.

I want to use the table stand instead of wall mounted bracket. Where can I position the room unit?

It is important to keep the room unit in a location where reliable RF communication was proven. Advise your installer where would you like to position the room unit and he will check if the RF communication is reliable in the selected location(s).

Important: The Room Unit measures the temperature of the room where it is located. It is important that the placement of the Room Unit within the room is away from; draughts, direct sunlight and other heat sources. As this is a wireless device certain objects could interfere with the RF signal - Leave at least 30cm distance from any metal objects (including wall boxes) and at least 1 metre from any other electrical equipment eg. radio, TV, PC, etc.

How do I remove the thermostat from the table stand or wall bracket?

After programming is finished always replace the thermostat back on the wall holder or table stand.

What does it mean when the BDR91 relay box green LED is ON?

Green LED indicates normal operation of the radio frequency system. When the green LED is ON the boiler is also ON. When the LED is OFF the boiler is OFF.

Can I use my CM927 to control my air-conditioning system?

Yes, if your system has been set up correctly you can use your thermostat to control the cooling. To switch the thermostat between heating and cooling modes press the [+] and [-] buttons together for 5 seconds in any of the product operating modes (AUTO, MAN or OFF). The text ‘COOLING' will be displayed for a moment to indicate the cooling operation is now active. The factory default program for cooling is specified in the table below, but this can be modified in the same way as the default heating program:

Monday to Friday

Saturday & Sunday

How do I operate an HR 80 radiator controller with my CM927?

1. Display: Shows current set temperature and device information.
2. Adjustment dial on the operating unit: Allows manual temperature adjustment.
3. Symbol for the RF connection to the command centre.
4. Symbol for separating the operating unit and coupling module.
5. Set temperature.
6. Symbol for actual value coming from the room thermostat (see installation manual 4.5.2).

Changing the set temperature with adjustment dial

The setpoint is normally defined and controlled at the room thermostat. To override the local setpoint, turn the adjustment dial of the radiator controller unit until the desired set temperature (between 5 - 30 °C) is displayed. This local setpoint override remains valid until a time program from the room thermostats overwrites it automatically.

In order to open or close the radiator valve completely turn the adjustment dial until “OFF” (closed) or “ON” (opened) is displayed. (If temperature limits are set, “ON”/”OFF” is not displayed - see installation manual 4.5.1).
