Removing the thermostat

In case of visible damage of the existing radiator, valve or heating pipes, please consult a specialist.

Remove the old thermostat dial from your radiator valve:

• Rotate the thermostat dial to the maximum value (1) anti-clockwise (see fig. 6). The thermostat dial then no longer presses against the valve spigot, making it easier to remove.

There are different ways of fixing the position of the ther-mostat dial:

• Union nut: Unscrew the union nut in an anti-clockwise direction (2). The thermostat head can then be removed (3).
• Snap-on fastenings: Thermostat heads that are fastened this way can be detached by turning the fastener/union nut a little bit counter-clockwise. The thermostat head can then be removed.
• Compression fitting: The thermostat dial is held in place by a mounting ring which is held together with a screw. Loosen this screw and remove the thermostat head from the valve.
• Threaded connection with set screw: Loosen the set screw and remove the thermostat head.

Mounting the radiator thermostat

• After removing the old thermostat head, you can mount the new radiator thermostat on the heating valve.
• Place the radiator thermostat with the metal nut (A) on the heating valve (see fig. 7).
• Tighten the metal nut on the heating valve (see fig. 8).
• To make installation easier, you can remove the batteries from the battery compartment (C) and press the button in the battery compartment permanently while turning the metal nut onto the heating valve (see fig. 9).
• By pressing the button, the rotating mechanism of the radiator thermostat is blocked and the desired orientation of the display is easier to achieve.
• If required, you can use one of the supplied adapters for Danfoss valves (see “5.2.4 Adapter for Danfoss” on or the supplied support ring (see “5.2.1 Removing the thermostat” on.

Support ring

• The valves from different manufacturers may have tolerance fluctuations that make the radiator thermostat more loosely seated on the valve.
• In this case, the provided support ring should be placed into the flange before mounting the device (see fig. 10). You can then mount the radiator thermostat again as described above.

Adapter for Danfoss

• One of the provided adapters is required to attach to Danfoss valves. The assignment of the suitable adapter to the relevant valve can be found in the following illustrations.
• Please ensure that you do not trap your fingers between the two halves of the adapter!
• The RA and RAV adapters have been manufactured with pretension in order to provide a better seat. Use a screw-driver during installation if necessary, and bend it open slightly in the vicinity of the screw (see following figures).

Danfoss RA

• The Danfoss valve bodies have elongated notches around their circumference, which also ensure that the adapter is properly seated when it snaps on.
• During installation, please ensure that the pins in-side the adapter are lined up with the notches on the valve.
• Snap the adapter completely onto the valve.
• Attach the adapter using the provided screw and nut.

Danfoss RAV

• Slide the battery compartment cover (C) back on from the bottom upwards (see fig. 5).
• Once the batteries have been inserted, the radiator thermostat will perform a self test (approx. 2 seconds). This is followed by the initialization ( In and a test display (orange and green light).
• Start the adaption run again by pressing the system button (D).
• Caution! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is not replaced correctly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Never recharge non-re-chargeable batteries. Do not throw the batteries into a fire.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat. Do not short-circuit batteries. Doing so will present a risk of explosion.
• Caution! Avoid skin and eye contact with leaking batteries! Wear suitable protective gloves when removing leaking batteries and residues from a device! In case of skin contact flush with plenty of water!

Troubleshooting

Weak batteries

• Provided that the voltage value permits it, the radiator thermostat will remain ready for operation also if the battery voltage is low.
• Depending on the particular load, it may be possible to send transmissions again repeatedly, once the batteries have been allowed a brief recovery period.
• If the voltage drops too far during transmission, the empty battery symbol C ( LO ) and the corresponding error code will be displayed on the device (see “8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences” on page 60).
• In this case, replace the empty batteries by two new batteries (see “7 Replacing batteries” on.

Command not confirmed

• If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (D) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process.
• The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see “11 General information about radio operation” on).

The failed transmission may also be caused by the following:

• Receiver cannot be reached.
• Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.).
• Receiver is defective.

Duty cycle

• The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range.
• In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation. During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radiointensive adding processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by one long red lighting of the device LED (D), and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly.
• The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

General information about radio operation

• Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring.
• Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.
• The range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.
