The Electric Programmable Controller may be used with any of the 120 volt
Runtal Radiators, but its primarily use is with 120 volt Runtal Towel Radiators.
The Programmable Controller is designed to be installed into a standard
double gang electrical box. Use the Programmable Controller to provide a
warm bathroom first thing in the morning; to avoid heating the entire house
in the spring and fall; and to provide comfortable heat to meet everyone’s
daily routine.
Features:
• LCD Time/Day Program Display
• Seven-day individual programming function
• Up to 8 different ON/OFF cycles per day
Steps for Choosing Your Runtal Electric Radiators:
Thermostat
Thermostat Selection: Just about any electric wall thermostat can be used to control
Runtal Electric products. Wall thermostats generally fall into two categories: a) high
voltage 120V/240V Line Voltage Thermostats, and b) low voltage 24V Thermostats.
High voltage 120V/240V Line Voltage Thermostats directly control the high voltage
wire that feeds the Runtal Electric products with power. There are a variety of
thermostats on the market from slide designs to digital programmable models to
“smart” wi-fi connected models. All may be used to operate Runtal Electric products.

Heat Requirements for Sample Cities
• Block programming of up to 7 days (when ON/OFF times are identical)
• Manual Program override
• 150 hour built-in battery saves programs in case of power outage
Step 1:
The heat requirement per room must be determined.
This calculation (measured in BTUH or Watts) should be done by a
qualified heating professional. The chart on right provides conservative
heat requirement estimates for different areas of the country.
Step 2:
Choose a style and size that meet the heat requirement and fit the design
criteria. Placement of radiators on outside walls and under windows is optimal
as this is where the heat loss is greatest and comfort will be most enhanced.
Step 3:
Choose a finish: Runtal offers a pallet of 10 standard colors, two metallic
and 99 designer colors. The Fain and Neptune towel radiators are also
offered in stainless steel and the Neptune in chrome plate as well.
Step 4:
Decide on an option for operating your radiator:
• A simple on/off switch
• A programmable controller
• A wall thermostat (by others)
