Comfort I RF
The Comfort I RF comprises a boiler or wall-mounted twin channel Programmer/Receiver and a wall-mounted Room thermostat.

Programmer/Receiver
The boiler fascia-mounted unit is a twin channel Programmer/Receiver and is connected to an RF Room thermostat transmitter. The Programmer/Receiver is for central heating and hot water control with modulating/enhanced load- compensating boiler regulation. This enhance load-compensating function enables an intelligent conversation with the boiler to achieve the desired room temperature in the most efficient way possible. To help save the customer money by burning less fuel, and to minimize room temperature “overshoot” the boiler’s burner may stop firing just prior to the desired room temperature being reached. This behavior including reduced radiator temperature is perfectly normal. The customer should simply set a temperature on the thermostat that they are comfortable with and allow the room thermostat and boiler to do their work.

The Programmer/receiver has up to three sets of ON and OFF times that can be set to control central heating and hot water. The unit has user and installer menus to allow the setting of the time programs, monitoring of system information, setting current time/date, daylight savings, and pairing the device with the Room thermostat.

1| Display| Time, date, CH and DHW program selection, fault codes, menu symbols and

operational symbols

---|---|---
2| Hot water program selection| ON, OFF, AUTO, ONCE
3| Hot water (HW) program advance button / user menu selection button| Only functional in AUTO mode. Pressed once, advances the timer to the next programmed ON or OFF time, pressed again, returns to the current program.

Hold the button down for more than 3 seconds to enter the user menu program

4| Rotary push button knob| Turn or press to select or confirm settings
5| Central heating (CH) program advance button / Back button| Only functional in AUTO mode. Pressed once, advances the timer to the next programmed ON or OFF time, pressed again, returns to the current program.

When in the menu functions this button returns to next higher level

6| Cental heating program selection| ON, OFF, AUTO, ONCE

RF Room thermostat
The Room thermostat can only be used in conjunction with the Programmer/Receiver. The Room thermostat displays the current room temperature and is also used to set a new temperature set point. This information is transmitted back to the Programmer/Receiver to control the boiler output to maintain the desired room temperature. Setting a new temperature will not have any effect when the Programmer/Receiver is in an OFF time period, but will be stored and take effect during the next ON period.

The display is not backlit, this will reduce the drain on battery power which will maximise the life of the batteries.

1| Display| ▶ Current room temperature in degrees centigrade ( °C)

▶ New temperature set points when the knob is being turned

▶ Control fault codes

---|---|---
2| Battery condition indicator| The battery condition indicator is displayed to advise of low battery power, at this point there is approximately 2

months battery life

3| Burner ON indicator| This symbol is displayed when the boiler is heating (can be up to 6 minutes delay)
4| Rotary push button knob| Press briefly to show the required room temperature and turn to select new temperature set point and press to

confirm

5| Current room temperature| This is displayed until the knob is turned or pressed
