Flexible programming to match your routine
The Slimline-E V3 offers three programming modes, helping you tailor your heating schedule to how you actually use the room:

Optimum Start for smarter comfort
The built-in Optimum Start function learns how quickly your room heats up and calculates when to switch the system on. Instead of heating for a fixed, wasteful period, it aims to reach your chosen temperature at the right time. That means better comfort, less guesswork and potentially lower running costs.
If you are also planning system size and efficiency, our Underfloor Heating Calculator can help you plan your project more accurately.
Floor sensor control for better protection
A 3-metre NTC 10K floor sensor is included in the box. This allows accurate floor temperature monitoring and helps protect sensitive floor finishes from overheating where required. Depending on your setup, the thermostat can be configured in different ways:

This makes the Slimline-E V3 suitable for a wide range of heating mats, loose wire systems and other electric floor heating installations.
