Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is a thermostat and what is it for?
A thermostat is a device that can be used to set required temperature in room. The thermostat has a built-in air temperature sensor. That is, when the set temperature is reached, the thermostat turns off the device, and when the temperature drops, it turns it on. This allows you to maintain comfortable temperature automatically.
How to disassemble the Ballu BMT-1 thermostat?
Disassembly is very simple. Unscrew the connecting screw from the end of the thermostat housing and disassemble it into two parts. Next, connect the thermostat to the network and the heater according to the diagram.
Where and how is the Ballu BMT-1 thermostat installed?
The Ballu BMT-1 thermostat is installed on the wall, at a height of 1.2 - 1.5 meters from the floor level. The thermostat is overhead, so it is screwed to the wall with simple self-tapping screws. The thermostat should be installed in a place where there are no drafts or direct contact sunlight. This is necessary for the correct operation of the temperature sensor installed in the thermostat.
How to connect a heater to a thermostat?
To connect the thermostat, minimal electrical knowledge is required. The Ballu thermostat is connected according to the diagram that is included in the instructions for the heater or thermostat.
How many heaters can be connected to the Ballu BMT-1 thermostat?
The Ballu BMT-1 thermostat has a maximum permissible current of 16 A. This means that it can withstand a total power connected to the thermostat of 3500 W. For example, you have 3 1000 W heaters in the room, which means you will need 1 Ballu BMT-1 thermostat.
The temperature in my room does not match the temperature set on the thermostat. Why?
This can happen for various reasons.
If the temperature in the room is significantly lower than the set temperature after the heaters have been operating for a long time, this may mean that you do not have enough power from the installed heaters. It is necessary to change the heater to a more powerful one or add another heater.
Another reason for such a temperature discrepancy may be that the thermostat receives direct Sun rays or streams warm air. The temperature inside the thermostat turns out to be higher than the air temperature in the room, which leads to incorrect operation.
If the room temperature is higher than the set temperature, the reason may be drafts in the area where the thermostat is installed, or a cold, frozen wall on which it is installed.
Also, do not install the thermostat at an angle to the left or right. Ventilation holes should be strictly below and above and should not be covered with anything. Otherwise, errors in the set temperature may occur, both higher and lower.
I want to put heaters on the balcony and control the temperature on the balcony from the room. How to do it?
To solve this problem, you should use a thermostat with an external temperature sensor. Ballu BMT-1 has a built-in temperature sensor and therefore this model of thermostat must be installed in the room where it is necessary to regulate the temperature.
The Ballu BMT-1 thermostat does not have an “on/off” key, what should I do if I want to completely turn off the heater?
In this case, there are several options. One of them is to make a plug at the end of the wire and turn the heater on or off from the outlet. You can also place a separate switch next to the thermostat or make a connection from a separate circuit breaker so that you can turn off the heater regardless of the temperature in the room.
Which thermostat is better, mechanical or electronic?
In electronic and mechanical thermostat has its pros and cons.
The electronic one has a built-in thermometer, which allows you to measure the temperature in the room. A mechanical thermostat does not have a thermometer. It only contains a regulator that turns the heater on and off depending on the set temperature. Therefore, if accurate temperature measurement is necessary, it is better to use an electronic thermostat.
A mechanical thermostat is more resistant to voltage surges. Therefore, in rooms where there are power surges, it is better to use a mechanical thermostat.
My heaters are in different rooms, can they be connected to one Ballu BMT-1 thermostat?
Technically, there are no obstacles to such a connection, but since the temperature sensor is installed inside the thermostat, it will be correctly regulated only in the room where the thermostat is installed. The other room may either be too cold or too hot.
If I have a large room and I want to connect heaters to one Ballu BMT-1 thermostat, and the total current of the heaters is more than 16A, what should I do?
If the total current of the heaters is more than 16A, then it is necessary to use a magnetic starter (contactor). The magnetic starter is selected based on the power of all heaters that you want to connect.

Operation of modern climate control equipment cannot do without the use of thermostats. These are small devices thanks to which the user can control microclimate parameters. In particular, such devices are used in sets of underfloor heating systems, air conditioners, boiler stations, etc. Today you can find a variety of device versions on the market of accessories for heating systems, but a mechanical thermostat is considered the most affordable, simple and reliable solution in this segment.
Classical models of this type work on the principle of changes in the structure of certain substances against the background of an increase or decrease in temperature. IN in this case we're talking about about gas mixtures contained inside the structure. Under the influence of temperature fluctuations, expansion or contraction of the filling volume of the section containing active substance. These processes act on the sensitive membrane, making appropriate adjustments to the readings. At the same time, the mechanical one serves not only to reflect the current temperature regime, but also allows the user to configure the device to a certain work program. Advanced control relays, for example, can be programmed, although this operating principle still applies mostly to electronic models.
The main feature of the separation of models of this type is the installation method, although it is not the most important from the point of view of operational nuances. Nevertheless, the manufacturers themselves distinguish between wall-mounted and hanging devices. That is, the first ones are integrated into a wall niche and practically merge with the surface, while the wall-mounted ones can be mounted in a rack or a special supporting structure. Again, in terms of operation, the presence or absence of a sensor for monitoring microclimate parameters is more significant. A typical mechanical thermostat contains the very substance that determines the temperature regime directly in its housing. However, in modern models Even the mechanical type is becoming more and more common and a remote method of monitoring microclimate parameters. This means that the thermostat is divided into two components: a sensor that records the temperature readings at the location where it is installed, and a control relay.
Household use is considered one of the most complex units in the category heating equipment. Consequently, the thermostat must work with a wide range of operating parameters. Moreover, it is in boiler maintenance that two- and three-channel models are often used. They allow you to separately control not just different parameters, but, in fact, devices. An illustration of this approach can be a device that simultaneously controls the functions of the boiler itself in the form of a combustion chamber, and, separately, a boiler water heating installation. In addition, thermostats for heating boilers are often produced with remote sensors and programming capabilities.
There are several characteristics to consider when evaluating the appropriate thermostat settings for a particular application. The base will be the maximum load power, but the same thermostats for heating boilers with an indicator of 3.5 kW are quite suitable for the most powerful household unit, so there are no particular difficulties in this choice.
It is much more important to calculate the optimal temperature ranges with which a particular modification can work. For example, most indoor units have a scale from 0 to 40 °C. But if necessary, you can also find versions that cover the negative range by an average of 10-15 degrees. Another important parameter- This is the material of the body. Typically, a mechanical thermostat is made of plastic, but for harsh operating conditions it is worth considering the possibility of using metal model, although it is heavier and usually more expensive.
The market offers enough solutions for any need, including boiler control requirements. In particular, the mechanical thermostat TDC 1 from the manufacturer Ballu has proven itself with the best side thanks to functionality, reliability and high-quality assembly. True, this model has a rather narrow range of operating temperatures from 10 to 30 °C, so it may not be suitable for every boiler.
More control temperature conditions Electrolux offers in its Basic ETB line. It is also worth paying attention to offers from the companies DEVI, HEAT-PRO, TIMBERK with TMS modifications, etc. But, if we discard the temperature scale, the standard Ballu mechanical thermostat will outperform its competitors due to its low price tag of 700 rubles.
First of all, they are produced preparatory activities, which may involve creating a niche in the wall like a rosette. Next, the cable wiring is laid. It is important to consider that, in addition to connecting the main power line, the device must be interfaced with the equipment. Another thing is that the same wiring can be avoided by purchasing a wireless model. For example, modern convectors with a mechanical thermostat are already equipped with radio devices in basic configurations, relieving the user of unnecessary hassle with installation. But not all units support the wireless principle of interaction with control equipment, and this nuance must be taken into account in advance. The same applies to the method of installing the remote sensor, which will also require careful preparation of a special point for fixation. Another thing is that the sensor will not require intervention in the wall. For it, it is enough to prepare a mounting bracket on which a small case will be mounted. All necessary fittings of this kind are usually included in basic thermostat kits.
Immediately after installation, it is necessary to turn on the equipment at the optimal temperature for the medium range. You should not expect to quickly achieve the required parameters - for a boiler, for example, this may take several hours, depending on the version. Further operation will depend on the capabilities of the device itself. For example, the simplest mechanical room thermostat only offers the ability to turn on/off and set the mode required at the moment. More technologically advanced models can be configured for a week or even a month of operation with automatic changes in performance indicators depending on the weather outside or time of day. This technique works like “smart home” components.
Given the general transition to digital technology, it may seem strange to purchase a mechanical device. But there may be serious reasons for this. First of all, the very independence of the device from the electronic operating principle adds to its reliability. In addition, models of this type are cheaper and are not as sensitive to electrical faults. The same convectors with a mechanical thermostat will not suffer in the event of a power surge or network overload. But it should also be taken into account negative factors such a choice. Among the disadvantages of mechanics, experts include an error of 2-3 degrees and the sensitivity of the filling to physical influences. For example, even a slight blow can affect the accuracy of readings in the future. But for the sake of fairness, we should also note the desire of manufacturers to minimize these disadvantages. This is evidenced by the increase in accuracy due to the use of modern element base, and the supply of housings with additional protective coatings with water-repellent and shockproof materials.
Rising prices for electricity supplies are forcing many to save different ways. This is especially necessary in the cold season, when various air heaters are used as an additional source of heat. For supporting comfortable conditions indoors, it is best to use a thermostat.
Manage household electric heaters Thermal sensors allow you to maintain the required microclimate in the room. These devices are divided into two main types.
Types of thermostats:
Currently, the simplest models, and the most frequently used, are mechanical devices. It is worth noting that while they are similar in principle of operation and design, these thermostats may differ in the quality of the materials used for their manufacture.
Mechanical thermostats are used for wall installation. At the same time, they may differ in the type of installation (mortise and overhead models). It follows that these thermostats can be connected to any type of electrical wiring.
The operating temperature range for mechanical thermostats varies from +5 to + 30 0 C. The control elements in these devices are a mechanical regulator, through which the required level of air temperature is set and a button for turning the thermostat on and off.
Note! The dimensions of mechanical regulators do not exceed the dimensions of sockets or switches, which allows them to fit perfectly into the interior.
The most advanced type of temperature controllers are programmable models. An extended temperature control range allows you to expand the possibilities of using this device.
Programmable models are able to monitor both the room temperature and the temperature heating device, which additionally provides fire protection.
For high-quality and long-term operation of various electrical devices, it is necessary not only to select them correctly, but also to make the correct connection.
Connection features:
First of all, when implementing electrical installation work, you need to read the instructions, which describe in detail which conductors are best to use for connections and circuits.
Note! In most cases, to connect thermostats, a PVA cable with 2.5 mm 2 cores is used.
It is worth noting that it is best to connect a device for heating indoor air and a thermostat using a separate cable, which is powered directly in the distribution panel.
The connection diagram is as follows. The phase and neutral conductors of the supply cable are connected to terminals marked (L - phase, N - zero). The wire coming from the thermostat to the device is connected to the terminals marked (L - 1 and N - 1).
When connecting the heater, it is important to correctly connect the grounding conductor, which is connected directly to the heater. The PUE rules state that breaking the grounding circuit is unacceptable. Therefore, the grounding wires of the device and the power cable are connected with a special terminal block.
The most common and well-known to many is a thermostat with an air temperature sensor Ballu BMT 1. It has proven itself in operation.
Sequence of work:
First of all, you need to choose a place to install the heater. After this, you can start laying the wires. To provide fire safety, you should choose a wire with a cross-section of at least 2.5 mm 2.
Note! This thermostat is suitable for connection to open and hidden wiring.
Having laid the cables, we install the thermostat. Next, we connect the device. To do this, you need to understand the circuit, since many people are completely unclear how to connect the device correctly.
From left to right, the regulator terminals are labeled (3, 4, 1, 5, 6). We connect the supply phase wire to the terminal numbered (1). The neutral wires are connected using the terminal numbered (6). The working zero and the device zero are connected to one terminal.
After this, from the terminal numbered (3), you need to make a jumper to terminal (5). With this jumper, the device indication is connected. The phase wire leading to the heating device is connected to terminal (4).
In order not to get confused when connecting, you need to know and color coding wires Phase wire (white or brown), neutral (blue), ground (yellow - green). It is worth noting that this circuit is suitable for connecting the F2000 thermostat.
This device is designed to control the operation of electric heating equipment. The regulator is used for commercial and domestic use.
Rules of use:
The device is intended for wall mounting. The recommended installation height is at least 1.5 meters from the floor surface. To correctly regulate the air temperature in the room, it is not recommended to install the device in close proximity to doors and windows.
Installation of the device must only be carried out by a qualified electrician. This will allow you to connect the regulator correctly, which will not lead to failure of expensive electrical equipment.
Note! Install and connect the regulator in compliance with safety regulations.
Maintenance of the regulator must be performed only when there is no voltage in the electrical network. It is worth noting that the quality of connections between conductors and terminals is carried out at least once a year.
It is important to understand that before installing the device, it is necessary to inspect the thermostat for chips or cracks on the device body. It is recommended to use the regulator only with working equipment.
Using this information, you can easily not only select a thermostat and connect your electric heating device to the power grid, but also provide correct use and device maintenance.
Thermostat Ballu BMT 1 — special device, with the help of which the amount of heat transfer from the infrared heater is regulated. Its connection allows you to significantly reduce energy consumption when operating the heating device.
In addition, having the function of setting a certain temperature in the room, The thermostat ensures a comfortable temperature under changing external conditions.
The advantages of such a device include the possibility of its operation without power supply, and the disadvantages are that the temperature is controlled within 0.5-1°C.
Such devices are equipped with a temperature sensor, the operation of which is based on reading certain frequencies of electromagnetic waves. In this case, you can obtain temperature data external environment and directly in a heated room.
The control unit, having received data from temperature sensor, regulates the operation of the heater in accordance with the program using a specific algorithm. The signal processing circuit is provided by the manufacturer and may have many control options depending on the parameters specified by the user.
The advantages of an electronic device include:
As a disadvantage, we can highlight dependence on a third party.
Exact connection diagram for models different types included with the device being sold.
And the installation itself is carried out in accordance with the following principles:
The BIGH-55 gas heater is an autonomous heating device that can be installed anywhere, as it does not require fixed connection to the power grid. It does not use electricity at all.
BIGH-55 is used for heating both rooms ( Vacation home, dacha), and open spaces ( open areas cafes, restaurants, hotels).
Main characteristics:
With overall dimensions 420x720x360 mm gas heater BIGH-55 weighs only 8.4 kg.
One of the features that distinguishes the BIGH-55 gas heater is the ability to use two types of heat transfer - infrared and convective. The direct source of heat is a special panel made of high-quality durable ceramics, which is located in the front of the heater.
Convective heating occurs due to the release of air heated in the housing through the perforation in its upper part.
The BIGH-55 gas heater can operate in three main fixed modes, in which a sufficient amount of heat is released with a reduced or increased amount of gas consumed.
Gas heater BIGH-55 equipped with a reliable multi-level security system during operation. Flame control is carried out by a protective thermocouple. Individual sensors react by turning off the system when the quantity is exceeded carbon dioxide in the surrounding atmosphere and overturning. The gas cylinder is secured with a special lock that prevents it from falling out when moving the heating device.
During operation, the gas infrared heater does not produce any noise. Its installation and connection do not present any difficulties, since the gas pressure reducer and hose connecting to the cylinder are already included in the delivery set. The heating device itself is equipped with a special chassis that allows it to be easily moved along a horizontal surface.
The BIGH-55 gas heater can be connected to a cylinder with a capacity of up to 27 liters, which maximum load will allow the device to operate for 38 hours. In this case, the most will be spent a large number of gas But since the device has two more modes (more economical in consumption), Then the heating time can be increased from 3 to 5 times.
The BIGH-55 infrared heater, unfortunately, burns oxygen during its operation. Therefore, when installing such equipment in indoors Regular ventilation is required to avoid oversaturation of the air with carbon dioxide.
Domestic gas cylinders are suitable for this heater model. The minimum volume (size) of one cylinder can be 5 liters (2.5 kg of liquid gas). The largest cylinder that can be connected to the heater is 50 liters (21.2 kg of liquefied gas). In the first case, at maximum heat transfer, the device can operate uninterruptedly for 8.5 hours, in the second - 70.5 hours. When periodically changing operating modes, the heating time increases significantly.
