Question: Is it normal for these to get warm to the touch while operating?
Document: For some reason these thermostats will not achieve a proper balance in this situation. One will always wind up driving its heater far too much while the other ends up rarely providing heat. I've tried switching them around but the problem doesn't follow a particular unit, nor does it occur always in one specific room. These thermostats also get very warm when running the heaters at 100% for an extended time. This is on the side opposite the temperature sensor but I suspect it may effect the reading.
Manual states it lights up when you touch any button. Nope doesn't do that. Only had it installed a few days and seems to work as promised, however if you adjust it the temp goes up very quickly from your body heat.
The thermostat is pumping out maximum heat and the unit itself actually becomes very, very hot to the touch. Works well in other rooms where the maximum rating of the thermostat is not exceeded. Just do your homework and check your heating system beforehand..
Worse yet, the sensed temperature error grows larger as more power is delivered to the heaters; the largest offset occurs when the thermostat is pumping out the most power to the heater. This results in a fatal "runaway" which keeps the heater on indefinitely in our application, even when the room the room temperature get up over 75d and the set point is less than 70d.
(November) The old thermostat must've had a temp swing of about +/-6 degrees of the set temp. So I wanted about 72 I'd get anywhere from 66 to 78. Way to much of a shift to be comfortable and also the POWER BILLS!!! This hopefully will cut that down and I hope it is really a true .5+/- of the set temp like it says.
This is the second one of these thermostats that I have installed. It literally takes minutes to complete the job. The temperature of the room stays where you set it ,so set it and forget it. Two improvements made on a newer model are a backlight and marked up and down buttons to change the temperature settings. It wasn't worth the extra money to get those two features so I stuck with this reliable thermostat.
The Honeywell RVL310 type thermostats eliminate this waiting period by sending short bursts of current to the heaters and then `regulate' the amount of heat generated in real time by varying the delay between these current bursts. The heaters never get completely cold unless another heat source, the heat of the sun coming through the windows for example, eliminates the need for the heaters or the house is exceptionally well insulated and holds on to the heat well.
Using an inductive power monitor attached to my mains to get real time power usage data here's what I found out.The Aube units use what I would call 'brute force heating', sending constant current to the heaters until the target temperature is reached and then waiting for the temperature to drop 1 degree before sending current to the heaters again. This allows the heaters to get cold, making you wait for them to heat up again at the beginning of each cycle.
I wanted to replace 20 year old dial 2-pole thermostats. Be very careful when replacing 2-pole thermostats with this single pole type. Power must be turned off to the circuit. Wiring is different and should be done by qualified electrician. These thermostats worked very well with ceramic and hydronic electric baseboard heaters to maintain the room at constant temperature. Digital temperature readout is easy to see and adjust. I did not get programmable type because these rooms are occupied day and night.
bought two of these thermostats to replace 40-yr old bi-metal units that controlled two different rooms with radiant heat. From the first heat cycle, both units displayed the same problem that another reviewer on this website experienced. When the thermostat closes the switch to begin heating, the thermostat's indicated air temperature begins to drop calling for continued heat, even though the heating system is operating and the air temperature is rising. I verified the rising air temperature by setting up additional thermometers around the thermostat.
Answer: no
