Suntouch thermostat wiring diagram. Verify each of the wire connections is correct per the diagram on the back and you have 4 wire nut connections to the control and a 5th wire nut connection for the ground wires. Consult the wiring diagram on the back of the control the instructions that came with the control or the wiring diagram in this manual. Refer to the wiring diagram on the back of the control. 120 vac 240 vac 1 phase see table 2 watts. If your multi meter detects line voltage on the load side wires of the control when it is turned off or in stand by the control will have to be replaced. Any load above 15 amps needs to be split up and use a sunstat relay or an additional thermostat to carry part of the system.
Floor sensing thermostat programmable or non programmable. Sensor must not be directly or adjacent to a heating wire. Yes you can actually replace any older suntouch thermostat with any of the current suntouch models. You can see the full list we carry here. Using an additional thermostat will require another floor sensor for it to work with. Test the amp load on the control.
The sensing probe should be placed in a. 12 wsqft 41 btuhsqft. Each suntouch sunstat control is rated for 15 amps maximum whether 120v or 240v. Line side wires connect to incoming power from the breaker panel and load side wires connect to the floor warming system power leads. Representative heat area for maximum system perfomance. Return control to dealer for replacement.
The heating wire length cannot be cut to fit. Sensing probe should be centered between the wires in the mat. The probe wire cannot cross any heater wires and the temperature.
