An internal electronic sensor monitors room temperature and switches the heating via TPI (Time Proportional and Integral) control, which cycles the boiler on and off in short bursts to maintain the set temperature more efficiently than simple on\/off switching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for wall mounting in living rooms, hallways and other circulation spaces with stable air flow, the thermostat offers two operating modes: comfort (maintains the dialled temperature) and economy (reduces the set temperature by 3°C to save energy when the room is unoccupied). The 5-30°C adjustment range covers typical UK domestic heating needs, and a frost protection mode holds the room at 5°C to prevent pipework freezing when the property is unoccupied in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black finish pairs with contemporary and minimalist interiors where white plastic controls would stand out. The 105mm width and 92mm height fit a standard single-gang back box, and the volt-free 3A contact rating means the thermostat can control most UK domestic boilers without additional relays. The unit runs on two AA batteries (supplied), with a low-battery indicator on the LCD alerting when replacement is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Net Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.23\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e92\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e310\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_CHPRSTATDB_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_CHPRSTATD.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is TPI control and how does it improve efficiency?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTPI (Time Proportional and Integral) control cycles the boiler on and off in short, calculated intervals rather than running continuously until the target temperature is reached.

Economy mode reduces that set temperature by 3°C, which can be activated manually during the day when the room is unoccupied or at night to save energy without switching the heating off entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need mains power or just batteries?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermostat runs entirely on two AA batteries (supplied).
