Heatit
Short Cycling / Incorrect Hysteresis
Thermostat frequently cycles on and off, causing relay clicking and uneven temperature
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Hysteresis set too low, Sensor too close to heater, Very small heating load, Incorrect regulation mode for system type
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No wiring work is needed for parameter changes.
Steps to troubleshoot:
- 1. Adjust hysteresis:
- In the installer menu, increase the hysteresis (temperature difference between ON and OFF) within the recommended range.
- 2. Change regulation mode:
- Switch from simple on/off to PWM or adaptive mode if supported by your Heatit model.
- 3. Improve sensor placement:
- Ensure the sensor is not directly above a heating cable or panel.
- 4. Check load size:
- Very small loads may cause rapid cycling; consider grouping loads or using an external relay.
