MOUNTING OF THE RECEIVER

1. Replace the receiver on the wall mounting plate.
2. Secure the receiver by screwing the both locking screws under the receiver.

INSTALLATION – THERMOSTAT

Recommended locations for your thermostat. To ensure that your thermostat provides accurate readings and controls effectively, it must be installed approximately 1.5 m above floor level on an inside wall, away from direct sunshine and any other sources of heat or cold such as radiators, cold draughts, etc.

NB: In order to ensure proper operation of the product, ensure that the thermostat is not positioned near to an area which could be affected by interference from another source. E.g.: a wireless transmitter or receiver, TV, PC, etc.
Important: The thermostat measures the temperature of the place where it is installed.
It does not take into account the temperature differences that may exist between different locations in the house if the temperature is not uniform.
INSTALLING BATTERIES

1. Remove the batteries cover which is placed onthe front of thermostat.
2. Insert the 2 batteries AA supplied. Note the correct polarity according to the engraving on the thermostat when inserting the batteries.
3. Replace the batteries cover.

4. Thermostat RF icon and receiver green light will be solid when pairing is complete.
   Note: the receiver is usually located near your boiler.
   If you want to check the signal strength, press and release the RF test button. The RF icon blink and the signal strength appears. 10 is the best signal strength.

OPERATING STATES OF THE SYSTEM

In order to re-bond the thermostat and receiver refer to the installation instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Display disappears on thermostat.
– Check batteries.
– Replace the 2 batteries. Only use alkaline 1.5V AA (LR6) batteries.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
The heating does not come on or does not go off.
– Your room thermostat may have been set up close to a source of heat or on a cold wall – put it in a recommended location (see the “Installing” section on page 2 for these locations).
– Check that the radio communication works between the thermostat and the receiver.
– Check if the boiler controlled by the programmable room thermostat is properly connected to the receiver.
Radio transmission is not working properly:
1- The receiver is not picking up the code sent by the thermostat.
– Check and replace thermostat batteries .
2- The receiver does not recognize transmitter’s code.
– Pair the room thermostat transmitter with the receiver again See Pairing section.
3- The receiver or the transmitter is affected by interference:
– Re site the transmitter.
– If possible, re site the receiver away from the source of the interference.
The radio link between the thermostat and the receiver is lost.
– Check the battery level status.
– Check that the radio communication works between the thermostat and the receiver.
If the radio communication does not work between the receiver and the thermostat.
– Repeat the pairing between the thermostat and receiver (refer to the user instruc- tions).
The thermostat does not control properly.
– Thermostat sensor may be influenced by a source of heat or cold.
– Check that the radio communication works between the thermostat and receiver.
If the problem persists, contact your installer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The boiler is not heating:
– Check that the thermostat is calling for heat if yes then the thermostat would appear to be working check that the boiler has not switched itself off. If no increase set temperature.
– Check the position of the batteries. Remove them for 30 seconds and reinsert them. If the problem persists, replace the 2 batteries.
Nothing in the display:
– Check the position of the batteries. Remove them for 30 seconds and reinsert them. If the problem persists, replace the 2 batteries. The room temperature is not high enough, the boiler is not providing enough heat:
– Check the active desired temperature and increase it if need be (see page 2).
You made a mistake while setting:
– You just need to restore factory settings, as explained in the “Factory settings” section (see page 2). This will reverse any changes you might have made.
The1ystem is not heating but is on:
– If and indicator light is on but the system remains cold, then you should contact your installer.
If the problem persists, then contact your installer.

 WHAT IS A ROOM THERMOSTAT

… an explanation for householders A room thermostat simply switches the heating system on and off as necessary. It works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached. Turning a room thermostat to a higher set-ting will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up de-pends on the design of the heating system, for example, the size of boiler and radiators. Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down. Turning a room thermostat to a lower setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy. The heating system will not work if a time switch or programmer has switched it off. The way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature setting that you are comfortable with, and then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to set the room thermostat to a low temperature — say 18’C — and then turn it up by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the temperature. You won’t have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustment above this setting will waste energy and cost you more money. If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one room thermostat to control the whole house. But you can have different temperatures in indi-vidual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on individual radiators. If you don’t have TRVs, you should choose a temperature that is reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you can choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other rooms by adjusting the TRVs. Room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat from working properly.
