Anonymous thermostat

[Tim Lamb]

During a brief visit my daughter complained that the thermostat controlling the electric underfloor heating in their *garden shed* did not come with any setting instructions and that senior management was complaining about electricity bills:-)

I have looked on line at endless thermostat pictures without finding anything resembling her description. A photo is promised but the description includes... digital display and circular dial made up of 4 push buttons... No logo or any form of identification.

The *shed* is actually an insulated garden room used as a quiet workplace.

Any pointers?

Can she pull off the cover, or is this likely to result in its destruction? There may be some information behind this.

You could think about replacing the 'stat with a known one. Maybe £20-£25 (and set the internal setpoint high limit while you're do ing it).

I'm still waiting for the photo! Busy person, two young children and husband just back from Azerbaijan:-(

Safety issues for the technically unaware:-)

I don't know the switched load. Fitted within the last 3 years so the data sheet must be out there somewhere.

I think we can guess what they're getting up to in the shed :-)

I think that is what worried the neighbours who opposed the plan: posh part of Islington:-)

Panic over. It has been identified as a *Warmup* system and the manual found on line. Description must have been a bit off!

Anyway, thanks all for your interest.
