Superior Radiant CE053 Thermostat

The Superior Radiant CE053 Thermostat is a professional-grade programmable temperature control engineered for precision in industrial and commercial heating applications. This 24V AC digital controller is frequently utilized with infrared tube heaters and radiant heating systems, providing technicians with a reliable interface for multi-stage or single-stage heating configurations. The unit features a high-visibility LCD digital display and intuitive navigation, allowing for the implementation of energy-saving schedules that reduce operational overhead without sacrificing environmental comfort. Designed for compatibility with high-performance HVACR equipment, the CE053 supports diverse system architectures, including those requiring common wire (C-terminal) integration for continuous power. For contractors managing Superior Radiant Products (SRP), this low-voltage thermostat serves as a robust replacement part that facilitates consistent burner cycling and precise thermal management across expansive floor plans.

• Advanced Programmability: Allows for 7-day or 5/2-day custom heating schedules to maximize fuel efficiency and system longevity.
• Backlit Digital Interface: High-contrast screen ensures clear parameter readouts in low-light mechanical rooms or industrial bays.
• System Versatility: Direct compatibility with 24V control circuits typically found in radiant and forced-air equipment.
• Non-Volatile Memory: Retains programmed setpoints and configuration data during local power interruptions.

Does this unit require a common (C) wire?
Yes, for 24V AC operation and to ensure the digital display and programmable logic remain active, a common wire is required. If your existing burner box does not have one, you may need to run an additional wire to the ground within the burner housing.

Is the CE053 compatible with two-stage infrared heaters?
This thermostat is designed for single-stage control applications. For two-stage SRP heaters requiring separate W1 and W2 signals, verify the specific wiring diagram for your burner model before installation.

Can I use this for hydronic radiant floor systems?
While primarily used for infrared tube heaters, the CE053 can control any 24V system requiring standard R and W terminal logic, provided the load does not exceed the internal relay ratings.
