How to connect the thermostat to the heater

Externally, the device is a conventional socket or adapter pad. On the one hand the appliance plug for connection to mains, the other - the socket, which is connected directly to the heater.

Interestingly, many thermostats are suitable not only for the heaters, but also combined with air-conditioning, electric lamps and other household electrical appliances. In each case, the settings are individual and depend on the functions of the instrument.

Useful advice!The thermostat operates regardless of the type of heater, the model and the manufacturer, therefore, buying a thermostat in the socket, you can not worry about device compatibility. It is only important to strike a balance: the power of the heater must not exceed the permissible value for the thermostat.

How to connect:

1. Turn the thermostat to the socket, to which will be connected to the heater.
2. You will see the light lights up on the screen. Set the desired settings in accordance with your wishes to the temperature in the room. Adjust the heat settings you can use the special buttons on the front of the unit.

How do thermostats for household heaters

Operation of the device is based on the sensor, analyzing information on the ambient temperature. When it drops to the lower limit set by the user, the mechanism is activated and the bimetallic plate or a relay and the circuit closed. As a result, the device has access to power and starts to heat the room.

Once the room is heated to the user the maximum value, the sensor again detects the rate and mechanism of reactive blocks access to electricity. In the presence of the bimetallic strip when heated she opens the network and the heater stops receiving electricity. Therefore, warming the room stopped.

As a result of the room thermostat is constantly maintained comfortable temperature.

Temperature regulators in the socket with the air temperature sensor: the types of devices

To select the appropriate thermostat you should understand what types of devices are and how they differ.

Classification temperature regulating devices:

Classification	varieties thermostats
According to the type of installation	stationary: mounted in the wall, connected to the wiring; portable, installed in the socket (it is about them referred to in the article)
As temperature sensors location type	thermostats in the socket with remote sensor: such a sensor located at the tail end and is connected to the controller, the cable length is from 10 cm to 3 m; thermostats with built-in sensor
According to the construction and management of type	mechanical (the most simple and inexpensive models); electronic (based on work - electronic circuit); GSM-driven (you can manage from anywhere in the city); Wi-Fi-adjustable (can be controlled via sms, calls and via the Internet on Wi-Fi)

How to choose the right way female thermostat

To acquired rosette thermostat has served for a long time and efficiently, careful approach to the choice of the device model.

Useful advice! Make sure that thermostat analyzes ambient temperature. Models that focus on temperature in the heater, much less effectively regulate the indoor climate.

What should I look for when buying:

• the power of your heater - it should not be higher than permitted for the thermostat. For example, thermostats are usually designed for a load of 2 kW, 3 kW, 3.5 kW. Ideally, the required heater power should be less than 30% of said rosette on the reverse side of the controller;

• the appointment of the room where the thermostat is located. Each model has its own temperature range and should be selected in the device according to the features of the room;
• manufacturer - choose proven brands, among which Sardo, Devolt, Tessla, Deegre, Terneo, Enaut, Digitop, Socket, Hager;
• degree of protection - the majority of it is IP20, which means the definitive inability to use such devices in the bathroom and other rooms where the humidity level is high. For such rooms, select the device with degree of protection of at least IP44;

• appearance - the color and shape will help to harmoniously fit the device to the interior of the premises, in addition, you You can choose the most compact version or choose a model equipped with a locking system on the children;
• functionality - decide whether you need to control the thermostat via the Internet or a sufficiently basic capabilities of inexpensive models thermostats.

Useful advice!"Advanced" model thermostats are able to manage a variety of household appliances, in addition, they can be programmed per day. These types of devices are relevant for a country house, where a couple of hours prior to arrival you will be able to set the desired temperature, and in the rest of the time to maintain a neutral 7 without unnecessary energy consumption.

Features thermostats choice for the cellar

In the cellar, which holds the fruits, vegetables and canned, the primary task is to maintain a suitable temperature. When frost or warming temperature spikes can be critical for supplies. To protect them, it is necessary to get a thermostat with a temperature sensor for the cellar. Thanks to the efficiency and suitability for long-term continuous operation, such a device would be the best solution to produce the desired indoor climate.

The cellar is especially true uneven temperature distribution, therefore it is important to choose the right place for the sensor position. It should be:

• on average, not too big and not too small distance from the heater;
• low - optimally at a height of 3-5 cm above the floor;
• close to vegetables, fruits, conservation and other products, which are stored in the cellar.

thermostats rates with air temperature sensor

Given the cost of the heater and the subsequent energy costs, I want as much as possible to save on the purchase of a thermostat. There are two main parameters, paying attention to that, you will make a reasonable purchase:

• the presence of additional functions;
• manufacturing firm.

On the cost of the thermostat affects its functionality. So first of all analyze how you use the device. For example, controlled via wi-fi thermostat is worth far more expensive than the base model, and it makes sense to pay more for a convenient feature only if it is really necessary, and you are going to use it. Otherwise, easy to save by choosing a simpler model. For example, mechanical thermostats are from 1200 rubles, electronic - from 1500, the programmed price starts from 1700 rubles.

Another way to save - to choose domestic counterparts overseas units, which are cheaper, with similar functionality and efficiency. For example, Eratherm thermostats price starts from 2,000 rubles, and the company ELRA products -. 1500 rubles.
