Thermostats
Smatrix Pulse thermostats provide information that is
transmitted via wireless signal to Controllers and/or Relay
Modules. This information is used to determine whether
heating or cooling is needed for the individual zones and
operate the appropriate devices.
Use the following instructions for both the Digital
Thermostat (T-169) (part number A3800169) and the Mini
Sensor (T-161) (part number A3800161).
Placing the Thermostats
• Make sure the thermostat is placed within the room or
area(s) it will control.
• Select an indoor wall and a position 5 ft. (1.5 m) above
the floor or at eye level.
• Ensure the thermostat is away from direct sunlight and
unaffected by solar gain.
• Ensure the thermostat is away from any source of heat
(television set, electronic equipment, fireplace, spotlights,
etc.).
• Ensure the thermostat is away from any sources of water
or excessive humidity.
• Ensure the thermostat is positioned at least 16" (40 cm)
away from the Controller to avoid interference.
Labeling the Thermostats
Due to the nature of a completely wireless thermostat, it is
easy for thermostats to get placed in the wrong room or
zone. Uponor recommends labeling the thermostat during
installation to alleviate any confusion. If installing multiple
Controllers, include a number reference or location for the
specific Controller. This will help once it is time to begin
the registration process of linking the thermostats to the
correct devices.
Note
Remove the breakout tab on the thermostat case
when installing a floor sensor.
Attaching the Thermostat to a Wall
Once all the mounting brackets are in place and mounted
to the wall, make sure each thermostat is labeled for
identification. Be sure to take the thermostats with you.
This will make registering them to the Controller(s) an
easier process.
Powering Up the Thermostats
Remove the plastic transportation strip from the battery to
start the thermostat.
The thermostat uses a single CR2032 3V button cell lithium
battery which provides about two (2) years of battery life if
it is positioned within radio range of the controller. Ensure
that the battery is correctly inserted in the thermostat.

• The Mini Sensor (T-161)
(part number A3800161)
will perform a self-test
for approximately 10
seconds when starting
up, and the LED flashes
during this period.
• The Digital Thermostat
(T-169) (part number
A3800169) will
perform a self-test
for approximately 10
seconds when starting
up and will display
