nHance Programmable Thermostat

The breaker and wire sizes are selected based on the total amperage of the WarmlyYours heating system connected to a single thermostat. This information is on the WarmlyYours heating system's installation plan, electrical plan, or UL label. Based on guidelines from the National Electrical Code: loads up to 16 Amps may utilize 12 gauge wire with a 20-Amp breaker, and loads up to 12 Amps - 14 gauge wire with a 15-Amp breaker. Local code and/or other factors may change these guidelines.

One thermostat can control multiple heating mats/cables as long as all the heating elements are using less than 15 amps:

TempZone™ will cover aprx. 120 sq. ft. for 120V systems and 240 sq. ft. for 240V systems on one thermostat.

Environ™ will cover aprx. 150 sq. ft. for 120V systems and 300 sq. ft. for 240V systems on one thermostat.

Slab Heat will cover aprx. 90 sq. ft. for 120V systems and 180 sq. ft. for 240V systems on one thermostat.

Pressing and holding (2-3 sec) physical power/reset button will turn the unit completely OFF. Same process turns the unit back on.

(nHance and nJoin units will have the button on the front faceplate, nSpire Touch WiFi, nSpire Touch and nTrust will have the button on the right side of the faceplate.)

Cause:

Child lock is activated

Solution:

• From the home screen
  
• Press "OK" button twice
• Press button UP and DOWN simultaneously for 3 sec.
• Unlock Child Lock

The key is to get MODE flashing (that's the second time hitting "OK"), and continue to hold (it may take 5 secs) the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the lock disappears.

You can control your slab heating system with any WarmlyYours nSpiration Series thermostat. Depending on the size of your project, you may also need to add a relay or nJoin power module.

All thermostats are mandated at 42" height for handicap accessibility, most private residences are mounted at 52-60".

Please see this video on how to install a WarmlyYours nSpiration Series thermostat.

Turn the power (circuit breaker typically) to the thermostat off for 5 minutes and then back on to reset the thermostat.

If there is power to the thermostat and it still doesn't appear to work, then the next step toward a solution is to take Ohm measurements of the floor heating system.

This is done with a digital multi-meter that can select a low 200 Ohm (Ω) scale. To conduct this test, turn off the circuit breaker. Remove the thermostat completely from the wall and disconnect the wires connected to the LOAD connections at the back of the thermostat. Disconnect the ground wires from the house ground, and do the test shown on the links below. If you are uncomfortable doing this test, contact a qualified electrician.

Please follow one of these guides based on the type of heating system installed:

TempZone Single Conductor

TempZone Twin Conductor

For a quick overview of the testing process:

Here is a video showing how the test is done

Here is a video showing how to locate and identify the floor heating wires

If the system still does not function, contact +1 (800) 875-5285 WarmlyYours Technical Support and provide the Ohm measurements for further assistance.

Check the connections between the thermostat and power module. If the power module is connected incorrectly to the thermostat, the power module won't switch off.

Reflective insulation is not effective with conductive heating, which is how embedded floor heating and snow-melting systems transfer heat. To be effective, the reflective insulation surface needs to face an air space (air gap), which allows the reflected heat to be redirected.

An effective solution considers the insulating material's R-Value. This is the rating of a material's insulating properties. The "R" stands for "resistance" and refers to the material's resistance to heat flow, or temperature conduction.

This indicates a fault, current to ground. The thermostat has cut off the power for your safety. Please contact your local electrician or WarmlyYours Technical Support.

This could be due to one of the following:

a.) The higher temp reading might be due to a rubber bottomed / heavy rug, or piece of furniture placed over the floor sensor. This would trap heat over the sensor making it read a higher value than the rest of the floor –- Remove the item trapping the heat over the floor sensor.

b.) If the thermostat indicates a strange, higher measurement. Then more than one (1) floor sensor may have been hooked up to the thermostat -- Disconnect the extra sensor(s) and leave just one pair of wires hooked up (terminals C+D) to the thermostat.

c.) The floor sensor calibration may have been changed -- This setting should NEVER be changed, do a thermostat factory reset: Installer and User resets to clean this up.

d.) Is the OJ Microline thermostat used on a very old floor heating system? Some of the older systems, particularly the ones using an OJ Dual / Energystat thermostat had 12kΩ sensors in the floor -- Change the installer setting to read a 12kΩ floor sensor, instead of the default 10kΩ floor sensor.

If further assistance is needed, please contact WarmlyYours technical support.

Error code "E2" means defective, damaged, or not connected floor sensor. Check connections or replace the sensor if necessary.

Sensor resistance should be in 8kΩ-15kΩ range and can be tested with a digital multimeter on a 20k scale. If the sensor resistance is out of range, it could be damaged. Please note, only one floor sensor can be connected to a single thermostat.

A GFCI/GFEP (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter / Ground Fault Equipment Protection) works differently than a circuit breaker by specifically detecting a small imbalance in electrical current between the hot and neutral wires, which indicates a potential ground fault (like a person touching a live wire), and instantly shutting off the power to prevent shock, while a circuit breaker only trips when there's a significant overload in current flow on the circuit, like a short circuit or too many appliances plugged in.

The ground wire in the floor mat must be connected directly to the ground wire of the supply or to the house ground wire.

The flashing digits indicate that the actual (measured) floor temperature exceeds the thermostat temperature limit.

The temperature limit is set for either tile (104°F/40°C) or laminate (82°F/28°C) when the thermostat is first set up or re-configured.

For example: When the floor type (protection) is set to laminate, the limit defaults to 82°F/28°C. If the floor temperature goes above this - whether due to radiant floor heating or external heating sources, then the digits will flash and the heating is switched off.

Turning the temperature up or down will not affect the flashing digits. And leaving the thermostat alone with flashing digits does not harm the system.

Tip: To turn off the heated floor (ex. for months when it is not needed), on the outer edge of the thermostat, depress the lower right side button for 3-5 seconds. This will also turn it back on.

Relays can fail due to excessive current or voltage. When a relay is exposed to too much current, the contacts can burn out. High voltage can also damage the coil. Other reasons include mechanical wear and tear, dust or dirt buildup, and moisture. These factors can cause the relay to malfunction or stop working entirely. Regular maintenance and using the relay within its specified limits can help prevent failures.

GFCI can fail for various reasons, such as wear and tear, moisture, corrosion, power surges, faulty wiring, or improper installation. Some of these causes can be prevented by regular inspection and maintenance, while others may require professional assistance. It is important to note that GFCI devices (ex. thermostat, breakers, outlets) should be tested regularly as these do wear out over time.

No, a circuit breaker will NOT protect against a power surge; a circuit breakers primary function is to protect against excessive current flow (overload), while a surge protector is specifically designed to handle voltage spikes, which are what power surges are considered to be.
