Instal·lació

Professional installation by a qualified electrician is highly recommended to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.

Pas 1: prepareu-vos per a la instal·lació

1. Turn off the power to the floor heating circuit at the main electrical panel.
2. Remove the existing thermostat (if any) and identify the power supply wires (Line 1, Line 2/Neutral) and the heating element wires (Load 1, Load 2).
3. Separate the front panel of the TR1310 expansion unit from its back plate using a small screwdriver.

Step 2: Wiring the Expansion Unit

The TR1310 unit has pre-attached wires for connection. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts.

• Connect Heating Element Wires (Load): The expansion unit has two wires labeled 'LOAD' (typically black and white, or as indicated by stickers). Connect these to the wires leading to your floor heating element (e.g., heating cable, heating film, or heating mat) using the provided wire nuts.
• Connect Power Supply Wires (Line): The unit also has two wires for power supply (Line 1 and Line 2/Neutral). Connect these to your main power supply wires from the electrical panel. The unit is dual voltage compatible (120VAC or 240VAC).
• Connect Floor Temperature Sensor: If using a floor temperature sensor, connect its two wires to the designated sensor terminals (typically labeled 'Sensor' or with numbers 1 and 2) on the back plate of the expansion unit. Tighten the terminal screws to secure the connections.

Pas 3: Muntatge de la unitat

1. Introduïu amb cura tots els cables a la caixa elèctrica.
2. Secure the back plate of the expansion unit to the electrical box using the provided mounting screws.
3. Align the front panel with the back plate and gently push until it clicks into place. Ensure the pins are straight and not bent.

Step 4: Initial Power-Up and GFCI Test

1. Restore power to the circuit at the main electrical panel.
2. The unit should power on. Locate the GFCI test button (usually on the side or bottom of the unit).
3. Press the GFCI test button. The unit should trip, indicating the GFCI is functioning correctly.
4. Press the reset button (if separate) or cycle the power to reset the GFCI.

Instruccions de funcionament

The Sinopé TR1310 is a non-programmable expansion unit, meaning its primary function is to extend the load capacity of a master thermostat. It does not have independent temperature controls or scheduling features. All temperature settings and programming are managed by the connected master Sinopé thermostat.

GFCI Test and Reset

The built-in GFCI is a critical safety feature. It is recommended to test the GFCI monthly.

• To test, press the 'TEST' button on the unit. The unit should trip, cutting power to the heating element.
• To reset, press the 'RESET' button (if available) or cycle the power to the unit.
• If the GFCI does not trip or reset correctly, discontinue use and contact a qualified electrician.

Manteniment

The Sinopé TR1310 expansion unit requires minimal maintenance.
