120-VAC Models: 500650-120CS, -120B, -120BH, and -120BW 

240-VAC Models: 500650-240CS and -240B 

The Watts Radiant 500650 programmable FloorStat will provide both

energy savings and comfor t.

NOTE:

The 500650 face plate must be mounted on a PB112 Series

Power Base.

The FloorStat is designed to control the floor temperature. To avoid dam-

age to your floor, we recommend you follow the supplier’s instructions.

The FloorStat is equipped with an On/Standby switch making it possible

to put the FloorStat in “sleep” mode when its use is no longer required

(i.e., summer). This will not affect the clock or programming.

1. SWITCH SELECTION

This FloorStat is factor y-set to the following default values (      ):

Switch

Function

UP

DN

SW1

Temperature format* 

°F

°C

SW2

Early star t

Disable

Enable

SW3

Time format

12 h

24 h

*If you switch from °F to °C or vice versa, the     ,     , and      setpoints may need 

to be redefined (only if setpoints were modified from their factor y-set default).

When using AUTO mode, the FloorStat calculates the optimum star t time to 

obtain the desired temperature by the set time. The heating system could be 

star ted as early as 6 hours prior to set time when required. The FloorStat will 

automatically re-evaluate (ever y day) the optimum star t time based on the 

previous day’s per formance.

Switches are located on the rear of the face plate. To modify, switch 

UP or DN.

2. MOUNTING FACE PLATE

One of the two following messages may be displayed if the installation 

is incorrect:

• LO:

The floor temperature is below 32°F (0°C), or the temperature 

sensor is defective, or not connected. The heating indicator       is 

displayed and the relay is closed (energized).

• HI:

The floor temperature is above 140°F (60°C), or the temperature 

sensor is defective.

4. GFCI TEST

The GFCI monitors electricity flow for any

loss of current; if there is, the thermostat

will cut-of f power to the heating system. We

recommend you test the GFCI immediately

after installing the control module, and once

a month thereafter to ensure it is operating

properly. To test:

1.

Increase the temperature     until the 

heating indicator      is displayed.

2.

Press TEST:

• Successful: Test warning light is ON 

and power to heating system is cut-of f.

• Unsuccessful: the Test warning light is 

OFF. Cut power to heating system from 

the main power panel and call customer 

ser vice.

3.

When successful, reset FloorStat (On/Standby) to power the 

heating system.

NOTE:

If the warning light comes on during normal operation, cut power

to heating system from the main power panel and have an electrician

verify the installation.
