2. The Uponor Control System
The Uponor Control System is a complete management for 2.2 Uponor Control System components
underfloor heating systems. Comfort, user-friendliness and
temperature control for each individual room of your home
can be combined through the use of thermostats or floor
temperature sensors.

For an optimal setting of the system see Operation

Manual.

2.1 Example of a system

The Uponor Control System consists of thermostats, a
controller and actuators. The controller manages the
operation of the actuator when the thermostats detect a
demand for heating or cooling. The Uponor Control System
may be controlled with the help of three types of
thermostats. Designed for maximum comfort, the
thermostats communicate with the controller by non
polarized two wired system. Don't "U-link" the outputs! It's
automatic. One thermostat controls the following AC output if

The floor sensor can be used for maximum or

minimum limitation of the floor temperature,
regardless of the room temperature. It can only be
used with the Thermostat Public T-33 and
Thermostat T-37.
For example, the maximum limitation can protect a
sensitive floor covering from exposure to too high
temperature when there is a high heat demand. The
minimum limitation can keep a tiled floor warm
even when there is a no general demand for heat
supply to the room.

Uponor Control System - Installation Manual
5. System maintenance
5.1 Controller current limitation
To avoid risk of current overload, the controller uses a
protection system:
At start-up, 14 actuators cannot be open at the same time.
During application, 14 actuators can work at the same time.
The controller opens the maximum actuators according to the
current limitation.
5.2 Actuator's behavior
The normal position of an actuator is closed. The controller
commands only the opening of an actuator.
5.3 Fallback mode
If a thermostat is short-circuited or not detected, the
controller executes the Fallback mode: 7 min open, 14 min
closed to maintain the temperature in the room (heating or
cooling) until the problem is resolved.
If the wire is broken, precedent thermostat will take the
command or else Fallback mode is active.
Automatic exercise function
The actuators and the pump are designed to avoid seizing,
thereby increasing the reliability of the equipment.
This exercise is done every 6 days +/- 0-24 hours at random:
The pump exercise operates only if the pump has not been
activated since the last exercise. The pump is activated 3
minutes during the exercise.
The actuators exercise operates only if the actuators have not
been activated since the last exercise. The exercise consists
of opening and completely closing the actuator.
• 5 minutes to open an actuator.
• 9 minutes to close an actuator.
5.5 Resetting Installation
To reset the Installation, disconnect and reconnect the
controller to the mains.

*: To find out if a problem is caused by the supply system or the control system. Check the temperatures of the flow and
return pipes for the loop(s) corresponding to the room. Loosen the corresponding actuator(s) from the manifold. If the loop
temperature starts to rise after a short while (a few minutes for the flow and longer for the return pipe, depending on the
floor type), the problem is most likely caused by the room control system. If the temperature remains the same, the
problem is in the system (hydraulic).

demand for heating or cooling.

2 Thermostat Public T-33 wired

The thermostat is for public location. The

potentiometers are hidden by a cover. The
cover may be removed to allow min/max
temperatures to be set. This thermostat also
can be used to connect a floor sensor option.

3 Thermostat T-37 wired for floor sensor

Thermostat T-37 is easy to use.

Temperature settings are be adjusted with a
dial. The potentiometers are hidden by a cover.
The dial and the cover must be removed to set
up min/max on the thermostat. This
thermostat also can be used to connect a floor
sensor option. The 21°C position is marked.

The Uponor Control System may be controlled with the help

of three types of thermostats. Designed for maximum
comfort, the thermostats communicate with the controller by
non polarized two wired system. It's possible to use all kinds
of Uponor Control System wired thermostats in the same
system.

4 Controller with Thermostats and actuators
2.2 Operating your installation
The Uponor Control System controls your heating installation
according to your needs. You simply have to set the
temperatures you wish on the thermostats located in each
room.

Principle of operation:
As soon as the temperature measured at the thermostat is
lower than the desired set temperature, it sends this
information to the controller, which opens the actuators for
this room. Once the set temperature is reached, fresh
information is sent and the actuators are closed.

Normal operation without optional timer

When the system is running in normal mode:

6-channel controller:
The controller controls up to 6 thermostats and 8 actuators
connected to the hydraulic system of the installation.
The controller drives the actuators according to the
information received from each thermostat and according
to the system parameters settings.
The controller is typically located near the hydraulic system
manifolds.
The window in the actuator shows when a valve is open or
closed.
12-channel controller:
In Heating mode, the actuators are open when room
temperatures are lower than the temperatures set on the
thermostat.
In Cooling mode, the actuators are open when room
temperatures are higher than the temperature set on the
thermostat.
The actuator position can be seen in the small windows of the
actuators.
Operation with optional timer
Comfort / Economy features
The use of a timer (option) optimises the installation and
conserves energy.
If your installation is equipped with this option, see
the timer Manual for more information.

The controller controls up to 12 thermostats and

14 actuators connected to the hydraulic system of the
installation.
The controller drives the actuators according to the
information received from each thermostat and according
to the system parameters settings.
The controller is typically located near the hydraulic system
manifolds.
The window in the actuator shows when a valve is open or
closed.

Several extensions can be added on to the 12 channels

controller:

• A timer can be used to add energy saving features and

to define the independent zones.

• If your installation is equipped with a cooling unit, the

Uponor control system can be run through a heating /
cooling relay.

3.3 Floor sensor settings
If your system includes a floor sensor, a potentiometer fitted
on the Thermostat Public T-33 and Thermostat T-37 allows
you to adjust the minimum or maximum temperature
settings for the floor.
The floor sensor can be used for maximum or minimum
limitation of the floor temperature, regardless of the room
temperature.
For example, the maximum limitation will protect a sensitive
floor covering from exposure to too high temperature when
there is a high heat demand. The minimum limitation can
keep a tiled floor warm even when there is a no general
demand for heat supply to the room.
4. System maintenance
Checks on your system components regularly to optimize
performance. This system requires no maintenance.
Automatic exercise function:
The system is fitted with an automatic exercise function. Set
every 6 days +/- 24 hours, this function consists of a test-run
designed to prevent the pump and actuators from seizing up,
when they have not been activated since the last test.
Use a dry soft cloth to clean the Control System
