Operation (Overview)

Note: The temperature displayed is the actual room temperature. After pressing + or ­ button the set temperature is displayed. Once adjustment is complete and after 5 seconds display will show the actual room temperature.

Principle of function

The INSTAT+ 868-r is a programmable room thermostat that allows you to set time periods (up to 6 per day) and temperatures to suit your own lifestyle. Once fully installed and powered the device will automatically show the correct time and in auto mode will control your heating system according to pre-set program 1 (see 7.). The temperature is controlled by sensing 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. No wiring is necessary, the information will be transmitted via RF to a receiver. An INSTANT 868-a…. radio receiver is required for operation.

NOTE:
The adjusted values (while programming) will be accepted automatically after ~5 sec.

Installation Guide
This thermostat can be used in all EU and EFTA countries. The manufacturer herewith declares that the thermostat complies with the essential requirements of the RED Directive 2014/53/EU and all other relevant regulations. The declaration of conformity can be downloaded from,, www.funk868MHz.de“.

Note: The transmission frequency used in this control is used extensively in Europe, for similar applications. The transmitting power is very low. It is far below the power of a mobile telephone. Moreover, the transmitter is activated only every 10 minutes The transmission quality is enhanced by employing special test procedures and repeating transmissions. The transmitter and receiver are tuned to each other by making use of the “learning mode”.

Applications

The electronic room thermostat INSTAT+ 868-r can be used for temperature control together with:

• Actuators of floor heating systems or radiators
• Oil and gas warm water heating
• Circulating pumps
• Heat pumps
• Electric radiators
  An INSTAT 868-a…. radio receiver is required for operation.

Installation

Installation location: The device should be installed in a location in the room which:

• is easily accessible for operation

• is free from curtains, cupboards, shelves etc.

• enables free air circulation

• is free from direct sun light influence

• is free from draughts (e.g. opening of windows and doors)

• is not affected directly by heat sources

• is not located on an external wall

• is located approx. 1,5 m above floor level

• allows safe radio transmission

• is not in the vicinity of eg. a radio receiver, a television set or a radio transmitter

• is not in the vicinity of metal parts eg. metal doors, metal cupboards, mirrors or steel-reinforced concrete

• if unsure, check radio transmission before installation (see receiver instructions, section “Radio range test”), look for suitable position if necessary.
  Note: In some rare cases it may not be possible to establish a permanent radio link between the radio transmitter and the radio receiver. We therefore recommend to check the reliability of operation at the specific location. In order to establish longer transmission distances (up to 90 m) or in case of critical locations, the RF repeater INSTAT 868-rep can be used.
