Specifications

The TH1300ZB is a line-voltage thermostat from Sinopé Technologies for electric underfloor heating: heating cables and heating cable mats. It runs on 120, 208 or 240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz and switches up to 15 A, which is 3600 W at 240 V, 3120 W at 208 V or 1800 W at 120 V. A floor sensor is in the box, and it accepts any 10 kΩ or 12 kΩ sensor.^1, 3

Power

Mains. Powered from the floor heating circuit it controls, so it needs no battery or separate supply.¹

Compatible heating

Electric floor heating cables and cable mats¹

Ground fault protection

Class A GFCI, 5 mA trip, with automatic self-test²

Control modes

F (floor, default) or A (air)²

Setpoint range

5 to 36 °C¹

Display range

Control cycle

15 minutes³

Floor sensor

Included; 10 kΩ or 12 kΩ at 25 °C¹

Auxiliary output

24 V AC/DC, 0.1 A: second heating stage or TR1310 expansion units¹

Expansion

Up to 10 TR1310 expansion units²

Storage temperature

-20 to 50 °C¹

Wireless

Zigbee 3.0, 2.4 GHz, +20 dBm transmit, -108 dBm receive sensitivity, AES-128¹

Certification

TB713-C base: ANSI/UL 943; CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 144.1¹

Warranty

3 years¹

Where it is used

• Floor heating energy per room in hotels, apartments and offices, from each thermostat’s own power and energy readings.

  HVAC energy monitoring for commercial buildings

• Floor and room temperature records in bathrooms and kitchens heated by the floor.

  Indoor environmental monitoring

• Lowering floor heating setpoints across a building for a peak period, then restoring them.

Interface

Readings and settings, with units and ranges where Sinopé publishes them. R readable, R·W readable and writable.⁶

Occupied and unoccupied heating setpoints are written in 0.5 °C steps from 5 to 36 °C. System mode is off or heat.⁶

Floor and room temperature cannot be set to report on their own. They are read once when the thermostat joins, then refreshed each time it reports its main temperature.⁶

Voltage, current and power come from the standard electrical measurement cluster, and the energy total from the metering cluster, in kWh.⁶

Control mode, floor limits, sensor type and the auxiliary output are set on the thermostat’s own menu.²

Setup

1. Fit the floor sensor

   Connect the floor sensor to the thermostat. It is needed in F mode and for any floor limit in A mode. Sinopé suggests laying a second sensor in the floor at installation as a spare.²

2. Wire it with the heating off

   Switch off the breaker. Connect the heating cable to the load and line connectors on the back of the thermostat, the ground wire to the screw in the electrical box, and fix the thermostat to the box. Sinopé requires a certified electrician.²

3. Power up and test the GFCI

   Replace and lock the cover and restore power. After its test sequence it shows the floor temperature. Press TEST: the RESET light must turn red. Press RESET to restore the heating.²

4. Join the Zigbee network

   Open pairing on the Gateway’s Zigbee network in Edge, then press the thermostat’s two buttons briefly at the same time. The network icon blinks while it connects and stays lit once it has joined.²

5. Check one reading

   Confirm that Edge identifies it as a Sinopé TH1300ZB and that the floor temperature is plausible. Raise the setpoint and check that power rises to the cable’s rated load.

Common questions

Does the TH1300ZB need a floor sensor?

In F mode, the default, yes: without one the display shows E1F. In A mode it regulates the room temperature and only needs the floor sensor for the floor limits. One sensor is supplied.^1, 2

Is ground fault protection built in?

Yes. It has a Class A GFCI that trips at 5 mA and tests itself periodically. If the RESET light comes on, press RESET; if it trips again, switch off at the panel and have the installation checked.²

Can it protect an engineered wood floor?

Yes. In A mode, set the maximum floor temperature limit to the value the flooring manufacturer gives. The thermostat then caps the floor at that temperature while it regulates the room.²

Does it need a Sinopé GT130 hub?

No. Sinopé’s installation guide covers pairing with the GT130 or with a compatible Zigbee gateway. It joins the Zigbee radio on an EpiSensor Gateway and Edge reads it locally.²

How do I remove it from a Zigbee network?

Hold the up and down buttons together for 10 seconds. The network icon disappears from the display.^2, 4
