Introduction

The SALUS WQ610 and WQ610RF thermostats are Boiler Plus compatible thermostats, designed specifically to control central heating boilers and also in the case of the RF versions, electrical panel heaters. They have our new load compensation (ITLC) algorithm with Volt free relay and also Opentherm 4.0 connections, so you can choose the method of control to suit your boiler/installation. Please note that the Boilers need to have an OpenTherm association license to be fully compatible with WQ610 range (should you wish to connect to the OpenTherm terminals A and B). Please verify if this requirement is met with your Boiler Manufacturer.

OpenTherm: Configuration

This menu will only be visible if your boiler is OpenTherm compatible and you have connected to terminals A and B.
OpenTherm is a method of control used by modern heating systems. Instead of switching a boiler on and off at intervals, modulating control allows the amount of heat provided by the boiler to be controlled to match the varying demand from the thermostat. This means the customer has greater system efficiency, energy-saving, and room comfort from our heating controls.

Temperature Values for Opentherm

Please note that below values can be manually set only if the boiler allows it.

CH (Central Heating)	HW (Hot Water)
MIN TEMP: 25 °C	MIN TEMP: 40 °C
MAX TEMP: 80 °C	MAX TEMP: 80 °C
DEFAULT TEMP: 75 °C	DEFAULT TEMP: 60 °C
