How do I Troubleshoot Wirsbo Electrical?

Wirsbo is a manufacturer of thermostats and supplies for radiant heating systems. To maximize the energy efficiency of a radiant floor heating system, the thermostat and control modules must be wired and set up properly. If these components do not work properly, it's imperative to troubleshoot and resolve problems affecting the electrical controls.

Instructions

    • 1

      Examine the control modules. Make sure no strands of wires are loose; if you see a loose wire, tighten the terminal nut to secure the wire. Each wire must be fully seated on a terminal.

      Replace a blown fuse. If the control module stops working, replace the fuse. According to the manufacturer, a 2 amp fuse is required for 50VA transformer and a 3 amp fuse is required for 75VA transformer. If the device has a 100VA transformer, use a 4 amp fuse.

      Resolve problems related to an end switch circuit that is affected by overcurrent. Make sure the fuse installed in the end switch does not exceed 2 amps.

      Troubleshoot a thermostat that gives erroneous temperature readings. Make sure the thermostat is mounted at least 5 feet above the finished floor. Abnormal drafts can cause false temperature readings. Cover windows that shine direct sunlight on any thermostat, as this may affect temperature readings.
