Rising prices for electricity supplies, makes many save different ways. This is especially necessary in the cold season, when various heaters of air are used as an additional heat source. To maintain comfortable conditions in the room, it is best to use a thermostat.
Control household electrical heaters and maintain the necessary microclimate indoors allow the thermal sensors. These devices are divided into two main types.
Types of thermostators:
Currently, the most simplest models, and most frequently used are mechanical devices. It is worth noting that when similar to the principle of action, and the device, these thermostats may differ in the quality of the materials used for their manufacture.
Mechanical thermostats are used to install on the wall. This may differ in the installation (mortise and overhead models). It follows from this that these thermostats, it is possible to connect to any type of electrical wiring.
The range of operating temperatures for mechanical thermostators varies from +5 to + 30 0 C. controls in these devices, are the mechanical regulator, by means of which the required level of air temperature and the button to turn the thermostat is turned on and off.
Note! The dimensions of the mechanical regulators do not exceed the size of the sockets or switches, which makes it perfectly fit into the interior.
The most advanced type of temperature regulators are programmable models. Advanced temperature adjustment range allows you to expand the use of this device.
Programmable models are able to monitor both the air temperature in the room and the temperature of the heating device, which is additionally fire protection.
For high-quality and continuous operation of various electrical devices, it is necessary not only to correctly carry out their choice, but also make a correct connection.
Connection features:
First of all, when carrying out electrical work, you must familiarize yourself with the instruction in which it is better to use what guides to connect and the circuit.
Note! In most cases, to connect thermostators, use cable PVS. , with veins 2.5 mm 2.
It is worth noting that connecting the device for heating air in the room and the thermostat is best with the help of a separate cable that is powered directly in the camshaft.
Connection diagram is as follows. Phase and zero conductors of the feed cable are connected to the terminals with marking (L - phase, N - zero). The wire coming from the thermostat to the device connects to the terminals with marking (L - 1 and n - 1).
When the heater is connected, it is important to connect the grounding conductor correctly, which is connected directly to the heater. PUE rules are written that they will not be unacceptable to break the grounding chain. Therefore, grounding wires of the device and the feed cable are connected by a special terminal box.
The most common and known many, is the temperature controller with temperature sensor. air Ballu. BMT 1. He has proven himself in work.
Sequence of work:
First of all, you must select a place to install the heater. After that, you can start the wire laying. To provide fire safetyYou should select a wire with a cross section of at least 2.5 mm 2.
Note! This thermostat is suitable for connecting to open and hidden type wiring.
Having paved cables, install the thermostat. Next, make the device connection. For this, you need to deal with the scheme, since many are completely incomprehensible as a device is properly connected.
From the left right, the terminals of the regulator are marked (3, 4, 1, 5, 6). To the terminal at number (1), connect the feed phase wire. Connecting zero wires, we carry out the terminal at number (6). The working zero and zero device are connected to one terminal.
After that, from the terminal under the number (3), it is necessary to make a jumper to the terminal (5). The device is connected to the terminal. To terminal (4), a phase wire is connected to a heating device.
In order not to get confused when connected, you need to know and color marking wires. Phase wire (white or brown), zero (blue), grounding (yellow - green). It is worth noting that this scheme is suitable to connect the F2000 thermostat.
This device is intended to control the operation of electrical heating equipment. The regulator is used for commercial and domestic use.
Terms of use:
The device is intended for mounting on the wall. The recommended installation height is at least 1.5 meters from the floor surface. To carry out the correct adjustment of the air temperature in the room, it is not recommended to install the device in close proximity to the door and windows.
Installation of the device must be made only by a qualified electrician. This will allow you to connect the controller correctly, which will not lead to the failure of expensive electrical equipment.
Note! Installation and connection of the regulator, produce, compliance with safety regulations.
Regulator maintenance must be carried out only in the absence of voltage in the power grid. It is worth noting that quality conduct connections With terminals, it is made at least once a year.
It is important to understand that before installing the device, it is necessary to inspect the thermostat on the subject of chips or cracks on the device body. Use the regulator is recommended only with good equipment.
Using this information, you can easily be able to select a thermostat and connect your electric heating device to the power grid, but also provide proper use and maintenance of the device.
With the onset of cold weather, many begin to think about the additional heating of their home. Since with the beginning of the heating season, as a rule, begin repair work At the places of impulses of the heating industry. Or the thoughts appear to go to electric heatingas an additional alternative for country house. In this article, we will talk about the temperature controlling temperature - thermostat, namely, we will tell about how to install and connect the thermostat to infrared heaters.
We will not go into types and types of regulators, arrange a comparison and tournaments. All of them are good in their own way and will fulfill their appointment, serving faithfully. The first thing I want to pay attention is the installation location. It does not depend on what type of heaters are: infrared, panel, convection.
The installation of the thermostat with the air temperature sensor is prohibited in the following places:
All these places are unsuitable for the placement of the thermostat, since when it is located near the heater, the air next to it is heated to the desired temperature earlier, which will lead to a false response, as a result of which the room will not be warm up to a comfortable temperature.
If you install the thermostat in the heating zone of the IR heater, its housing is heated earlier and distort the sensor readings. In places where there is a draft, the sensor will not show the desired temperature and heaters will overheat the room, spending excess electricity. The placement of the thermal sensor in height should be made in the comfort zone, at 1.5 meters from the floor.
Always, before installing and connecting the thermostat, you mean with the instructions and passport data on the device. Since the manufacturer specifies the required cable cross section and gives a connection scheme to its products. In the case of retreat from requirements and savings on the wire and thermostats, there is a high probability of exit equipment or a threat of fire.
Connection diagram of thermostat to an infrared heater with a capacity of up to 3.5 kW:
If the heater heating is carried out by a group of heaters up to 3.5 kW, then the connection scheme will look like this:
In the event that you are the winner of a three-phase network and heating is carried out by a group of heaters with a total capacity of more than 3.5 kW, a magnetic starter is added to the control circuit, which controls the thermostat:
This is the installation of the temperature regulator for this principle. As you can see, there are some features in the installation and connection of the thermostat, so it is important to initially get acquainted with the instructions from the manufacturer, after which it starts to the main process.
What is the thermostat and what is it needed for?
The thermostat is a device with which you can specify the required temperature in the room. The thermostat is built in the air temperature sensor. That is, when the set temperature is reached, the thermostat turns off the device, and when the temperature drops, it includes. This allows you to maintain a comfortable temperature automatically.
How is the BALLU BMT-1 thermostat?
Disassembly is very simple. From the end of the thermostat housing, unscrew the connecting screw and disassemble into two parts. Next, connect according to the scheme to the network and the heater thermostat.
Where and how is the BALLU BMT-1 thermostat?
The BLLU BMT-1 thermostat is installed on the wall, at an altitude of 1.2 - 1.5 meters from the floor level. The thermostat is overhead, so it is screwed to the wall with simple self-draws. Install the thermostat is needed in a place where there are no drafts and direct sunlight. It is necessary for the correct operation of the temperature sensor installed in the thermostat.
How to connect the heater to the thermostator?
To connect the thermostat, minimal knowledge is needed in the electrician. The Ballu thermostat is connected by a diagram that goes into the manual for the heater or to the thermostat.
How many heaters can be connected to the BALLU BMT-1 thermostat?
The thermostat Ballu BMT-1 has the maximum allowable current 16 A. This means that it can withstand the total power connected to the thermostator, 3500 W. For example, you have a 3 heater of 1000 W, it means that you will need 1 Ballu BMT-1 thermostat.
The temperature in my room does not match the temperature installed on the thermostat. Why?
This can occur for various reasons.
If the temperature in the room is significantly lower installed after a long time of the heaters, it may mean that you lack the power of installed heaters. It is required to change the heater to a more powerful one or add another heater.
Another reason for this discrepanation of the temperature may be that straight solar rays or fluxes of warm air fall on the thermostat. The temperature inside the thermostat turns out to be higher than the air temperature in the room, which leads to incorrect work.
If the room temperature turns out to be larger than the installed, then the reason may be drafts in the installation area of \u200b\u200bthe thermostat, or the cold, the wedge wall on which it is installed.
Also, you should not install the thermostat at an angle to the left or right. Ventilation holes Must be strictly bottom and from above and should not be closed. Otherwise, errors may occur set temperature Both greater and smaller side.
I want to put heaters on the balcony, and adjust the temperature on the balcony from the room. How to do it?
To solve this task, use the thermostat with remote sensor Temperatures. BALLU BMT-1 The temperature sensor is built in and therefore this thermostat model is necessarily installed in the room where the temperature is required.
In the Ballu BMT-1 thermostat, there is no "ON / OFF" key, how to be if I want to completely turn off the heater?
In this case, there are several options. One of them make the plug at the end of the wire and turn on or off the heater from the outlet. You can also put a separate switch next to the thermostat or make a connection from a separate automaton so that you can turn off the heater regardless of the room temperature.
What thermoregulator is better, mechanical or electronic?
The electronic and mechanical thermostat has its advantages and cons.
Electronic has a built-in thermometer, which allows measuring the temperature in the room. IN mechanical thermostat There is no thermometer. It is only a regulator that includes and turns off the heater depending on the specified temperature. Therefore, if accurate temperature measurement is necessary, then use better electronic thermostat.
The mechanical thermostat is more resistant to voltage drops. Therefore, indoors where there are voltage jumps, it is better to use a mechanical thermostat.
I have heaters are in different rooms, Can I connect them to one thermostat Ballu BMT-1?
Technically there is no obstacles to this connection, but since the temperature sensor is installed inside the thermostat, it will be correctly adjusted only in the room where the thermostat is set. In another room can be either too cold or too hot.
If I have a big room, and I want to connect heaters to one thermostat Ballu BMT-1, and the total heaters current is greater than 16a, what to do?
If the total heaters current is greater than 16a, then it is necessary to use a magnetic starter (contactor). A magnetic starter is selected based on the capacities of all the heaters you want to connect.
What is a magnetic starter and how is it connected?
The electromagnetic starter is called the relay (contactor), which is designed to control the large currents. Connection comes from the heater to the magnetic starter, and from the starter to the thermostat. Connect the following scheme that goes into the guide instructions.
Does the thermostat makes any sounds?
When the specified temperature is reached, the Ballu BMT-1 thermostat is characterized by a characteristic soft click, which indicates the turn on or turning off the thermostat.
The thermostat for the infrared heater calibrates the heat transfer of the heat generating device, reducing the consumption of notes electricity to the lowest possible level.
And such a regulator sets the level of room heating, providing the opportunity to get the most comfortable temperature. Therefore, no infrared heating system is required without such a detail.
Mechanical thermostat Ballu BMT-1 for infrared heater
Such a regulator consists of two main nodes:
These construction elements interact with each other according to the following scheme:
As a result, the ceiling and wall infrared heaters with the thermostat consume only the desired "volume" of electricity, warming the room only to the desired temperature. In this case, the calibration of heat transfer and temperature is carried out in increments of 0.1-1.0 ° C
Modern manufacturers produce two types of thermostators:
Mechanical instruments. In such regulators, a special plate or a diaphragm of the material sensitive to the temperature deformations is used as a temperature sensor. Therefore, the control unit at thermomechanical regulators is essentially no. The plate is closed or blurring the contacts of the electrical circuit that feeds the infrared heater, under the "influence" of the actual temperature in the house. And all regulation is to fix the set temperature using a mechanical lever, with which the elements of the plate sensor are positioned.
Connection diagram of the infrared heater to the thermostat
Electronic devices. The temperature sensor of such a device fixes thermal radiation, reading electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency. This monitors the temperature "overboard", and degrees in the house. The control unit of such a controller receives signals from the sensor and processes them by the mortgaged algorithm (program). Electronic devices only digital controls. The signal processing algorithm from the sensor is set using factory programs or buttons on the housing. Information about temperature and modes of operation is displayed.
When installing the thermostat, you need to focus on the following generally accepted rules:
The installation itself is performed as follows:
Accurate installation schemes are provided in passports to specific models of regulatory instruments.

Temperature regulators for infrared heaters are necessary for control and automatic maintenance specified temperature regimen indoors. Without this device it is difficult to imagine effective work Modern heating equipment.
The thermostat controls and maintains the specified indoor temperature.
The thermostat works cyclically using the opening and closing of the power grid: turns on and disconnected depending on the signals that the temperature sensor or the biomechanical plate sends it.
With increasing temperature, the resistance of the sensor decreases. As soon as the resistance reaches the desired level (equal to a certain temperature), the thermostat is turned on and the chain opens. Next, the sensor gradually cools, its resistance increases, which again leads to the triggering of the thermostat and the circuit of the chain, i.e. Connecting an IR heater. Such a principle of activity applies to all varieties of thermostats, regardless of their filling.
Thermostators are divided by installation method: open or hidden. Another criterion for classifying devices is a working fluid device: solid-state, liquid or air.
Also, regulators differ in the temperature regime of activity. There are such varieties of thermostats:
In structural relations there are two types:
Adjustment in electromechanical models are carried out using a wheels
Below more in more detail on the polar opposite types of regulators: mechanical and electronic.
Such devices are significantly less often electronic. They will not connect to the power grid, and the temperature control is carried out by heating or cooling the special membrane.
Externally, the mechanical regulator is a small plastic box with a lever for adjusting the temperature. The device is equipped with a scale with fission divisions.
Inside the device is a responsive to a change in temperature element. On average, such an element allows an error of not more than half a degree. The temperature limits are usually within 5-30 ºC. The principle of operation of the device - mechanics, so the power supply is not necessary.
One of the distinguishing external features electronic regulators - Display that displays the processes occurring in the heating system. Such devices are much more accurately mechanical. The most expensive are the programmable models that have the ability to set the time parameters of the heating operation, and the instrument can be programmed up to a minute a week ahead. Thermostats can be integrated into smart home systems.
Electronic thermostat significantly more accurately mechanical
There are regulators with infrared sensors. The principle of their work is based on the perception of electromagnetic waves emanating from heated objects. The information received by the device is analyzed and the device "accepts the solution" on this basis is to turn off the heating or turn on again.
Intelligent systems are capable of self-control. For example, when the sensor breakdowns heating system Automatically goes to work third from its power. This, on the one hand, does not allow to over-cool air indoors, and on the other, it avoids air overheating.
Most thermostat are distinguished by versatility. For example, instead of an IR heater, you can connect a system of warm floors, which will only be needed to reconfigure the temperature sensors.
Note! Thermostats cannot be placed under the right rays of the sun, on drafts or on outer wall building.
The power of the ceiling IR heater for the urban apartment should not exceed 3 kilowatts. The purchased knob must correspond to the power of the heater.
Connection diagram of thermostat to an IR heater
The infrared heater is connected by the same standards as other electrical appliances - with a socket or dedicated line from a separate machine on an electric shield. Thus, neutral and phase wire are used.
The regulator is installed between the machine and heating equipment. The thermostat is mounted on the network between the machine and the heating device.
The thermostat has 4 terminals: two at the entrance (neutral and phase) and two at the output (plus and minus).
If one heater is installed:
If a pair of heaters is installed:
Sometimes it may be necessary to connect the phase from the machine to the heating device (directly), and the neutral is connected via the machine. The minus of this option is the possibility of improper functioning of the thermostat.
A little more complex scheme for several heating devices Provides the following:
The described connection option is ideal for powerful industrial systems or several infrared heaters. The magnetic starter works here in the automaton mode.
It is especially necessary to note the need to pay attention to security issues. In particular, we are talking about grounding. The heating equipment circuit of heating equipment must have conductors of the necessary thickness and with low resistance. The security system should guarantee electricity aid, since this directly depends on the life and health of residents at home.
Connecting the thermostat cannot be called easy business. Special knowledge, skills and tools are needed. Even if the thermostat is installed with your own hands, it is recommended to call a professional that can be qualified to check the work done.
If your home has an infrared heater, then the thermostat is simply necessary for it. The thermostat for the infrared heater is capable of monitoring and maintaining the specified temperature values \u200b\u200bfor a long time. In addition, it will allow you to warm the rooms in advance, it will reduce the risk of fire and make the atmosphere in your home as comfortable as possible. To understand the intricacies of connecting the thermostat to the infrared heater, we will first consider the principle of its action, the work mechanism and select the main types of thermostats.
As a rule, the thermostat is functioning cyclical. In this case, there is opening and closure of the power grid. At this time, the temperature sensor sends the signals and thereby regulates the temperature.
If the temperature rises, the resistance of the internal sensor is reduced. If the resistance increases again, the desired temperature is achieved, the thermostat is started, and the electrical cap ops. When the temperature decreases and the sensor cools, the return process takes place: the resistance increases, the thermostat is turned on again, but this time the chain is closed. Next, the thermostat is connected directly to the infrared heater and the room temperature is set. automatically .
The thermostat controls the climate in the room and the main source of heat. It turns on and off itself when necessary.
As you know, infrared micatermic heaters warm not the surrounding space, but the items in it. The thermostat also makes this process more convenient and thoughtful.
According to the cyclical principle described above, almost all thermostats are functioning. At the same time, there are many differences between them, which affects the connection algorithm, control mode and configuration:
They are not so often used, but they are distinguished by reliability and ease of work. In fact, the mechanical thermostat is a small plastic box. Having lever to control the temperature regime. For ease of use, this thermostat has a special scale with divisions (a standard step is 1 degree).
The mechanical thermostat is not quite suitable for the modern IR heater, but its connection is completely simple.
The fact is that connecting in this case does not require electrical stroke. The process is fully mechanized. The climatic regime management occurs through the heating or cooling of the membrane inside the thermostat design. As a rule, besides the arrow - the temperature switch on the thermostat housing there is a button and a light indicator light indicator.
Why is the mechanic popular? In the diagram of connecting the thermostat with the mechanical principle, it is easy to understand even a novice, and a non-suty design ensures durability of the service. In addition, such a device is much cheaper than electronic fellow.
One of the main features of these devices is availability of display. where all the necessary information about the settings and processes occurring in the heater and the surrounding space is indicated. They require a mandatory connection to the power grid. Similar models are more expensive than mechanical. The control panel can be both keypone and sensory. In some programmable models, you can set parameters such as heating for a day or a week.
You can control such devices and remotely, for example, using mobile applications.
In addition, you can connect not only an infrared heater, but also a system of heated floors to such a thermostat. To do this, you only need to slightly change the temperature settings.
Micatermic heater, equipped with an electronic thermostat, should not be installed under the UV-rays of the Sun or in the area of \u200b\u200bdrafts, then it will last much longer and avoid breakdowns.
Now it is necessary to find out how to connect the thermostat to the infrared heater, if you do not have any experience in such a work:
The thermostat connection scheme to the IR heater
Consider the standard diagram of connecting a household infrared heater through the thermostat:
Sometimes infrared thermostat heaters require a more complex connection. To correctly execute each step, it is better to follow the recommendations of the video, where everything is clearly shown and complemented by comments. It all depends on the design of the thermostat and the IR heater itself:
Connecting two heaters to the thermostat
It is worth noting that this algorithm is also suitable for the regulator of industrial heating devices.
Infrared heaters with thermostat involve compliance with safety rules. When working with a thermostat, you must remember about grounding. The circuit of the grounding of your climate instrument is obliged to have conductors of a certain thickness and with low resistance.
It is best to have thermostats on the wall. For one room, one regulator is enough. The device is undesirable to cover with anything: cloth, curtains, interior items.
What are so good infrared heaters with thermostat? They greatly facilitate the process of climate control in the room, save electricity and warm the room in advance even if you are far from home. The advantages are a huge set, the difficulty consists only in order to properly connect the thermostat to heating equipment. Therefore, it is important step by step to follow the manual instructions and comply with the safety technique.

NVT, I realized that you had difficulty inserting this thermostat into the gap of the heater power circuit, in one word - in the cable break. I think what is needed like:
1. The first cable lived on the socket side - on terminal 6, from it, one of the heater terminals;
2. The second cable lived on the outlet side - on terminal 1;
3. The second cable lived on the heater side - on terminal 3;
4. Terminals 3 and 5 Close to each other
5. All.))
I bought an infrared heater for a country house. After some time, this thermostat Ballu BMT-1 was purchased. With its function copes, it is not expensive.
For the pros, I think the installation of such a thing is a minute case, but I did not immediately understand. And the familiar bought such, also did not understand how to install it. Put and threw the scheme "on the fingers." And, of course, it is better to use the 4th residential cable at once.
