Sangamo Thermostats

Sangamo Choice thermostats, supplied by ESP, switch a heating system by room temperature, by frost risk or by hot water cylinder temperature. The range has mechanical and electronic room thermostats, digital and wireless digital models, programmable thermostats, tamperproof versions, frost thermostats and a cylinder thermostat, with many models offered in white, black and silver finishes. Wireless models such as the CHPRSTATDRF talk to a separate receiver, so no cable has to reach the thermostat.

Choosing Sangamo Thermostats

Start with what the thermostat controls, then choose how it is set: by dial, on a digital display, by a programme, or over a wireless link.

Room thermostats

The CHOICE RSTAT1 is a mechanical room thermostat with a relay rated 10A resistive and 3A inductive. Electronic dial models such as the CHPRSTAT have a large dial, a call-for-heat LED and 0.5°C or 1°C swing adjustment, and are ERP class 4, 2%. Digital models such as the CHPRSTATD and RSTAT3 have a digital display and offer comfort/economy or on/off modes; the RSTAT3 LCD shows the room temperature.

Programmable and wireless

The CHPRSTATDPRF and RSTAT5RF offer 24 or 7 day programming with 6 events a day, and the CHPRSTATDPB is 24 or 7 day programmable with a pre-programmed schedule. The CHPRSTATDP and CHPRSTATDPS are 7-day programmable with frost protection, running on 4 x AAA batteries. The CHPRSTATDRF and CHPRSTATDPRF have wireless communication between thermostat and receiver, so no cable has to run to the thermostat. The RSTAT3RF and RSTAT5RF are wireless models with a unique RF address to avoid interference.

Frost, cylinder and tamperproof

A frost thermostat brings the heating on to protect pipes in an unheated space. The FSTAT1 has a tamper resistant cover with an accelerator heater and mounts on a surface or a switch box. The CSTAT cylinder thermostat straps to a hot water cylinder. Tamperproof models such as the RSTAT1T and CHPRSTATT stop the setting being changed by people using the room.

Frequently asked questions

What is a digital thermostat?

A digital thermostat is a room thermostat with an electronic sensor and a display that shows the set temperature, rather than a purely mechanical dial. It switches the heating on and off to hold that temperature, often more closely than a mechanical model. Some add programming, frost protection or a wireless link to a receiver at the boiler. The range here includes dial, programmable and wireless digital thermostats.

How do I choose a digital thermostat for my home?

Choose a digital thermostat for a home by how you want to control the heating. A simple dial model holds one setting, a programmable model changes temperature through the day, and a wireless model can sit away from the boiler wiring in a room that reflects the home's warmth. Check that its output suits your boiler or heating controls. The range here includes battery and mains-powered models.

What is a digital programmable thermostat?

A digital programmable thermostat runs the heating to a timed schedule, holding different temperatures at different times of day. It can keep a home warm when people are in and cooler when they are out or asleep, which helps avoid wasted heat. Schedules are often set as one daily programme or a seven-day plan. The range here includes standard and wireless programmable room thermostats.

How do you set a Sangamo thermostat?

Set a Sangamo dial thermostat by turning the large dial to the temperature you want the room to reach; digital models show the setting on the display. The thermostat then calls for heat whenever the room drops below that level. Programmable models also need the clock and time periods set, so check the maker's instructions. The range here includes Sangamo Choice room and frost thermostats.
