Setting up the iT500 thermostat

After powering up iT500 for the first time the display will go through the following sequence.

Pairing iT500 with iT500RX receiver

FAILSAFE MODE: In the event of RF signal loss, your system will be switched on for 4 minutes, then off for 11 minutes. If you want to disable FAILSAFE MODE when RF link has been lost then move the slide switch on iT500RX to either the Manual or Off position.

Pairing the iT300 to the thermostat

Note: iT300 was purchased separately. Can only be used if your system supports a second central heating zone.

The iT300 should be installed in the area of the house that the second zone will be controlled from, ie. Upstairs.
Please note the red LED on the iT300 will continue to flash and eventually timeout.

Selecting your system configuration

**** This menu should only be entered by the installer as changes can have a detrimental effect on your heating system.
At any time press for a return to the previous step or hold for 5 seconds to return to the home screen.

The countries marked with * do not observe Daylight Saving Time. For details please see below.
DST (Daylight Saving Time) ON will automatically change your time from summer to winter.

Setting the time and date

When connected to the internet, the iT500 will set time and date automatically. However, this can also be set manually.

Operating modes

Setting the temperature

Note: If you set the temperature in AUTO mode (temporary override) the setpoint temperature won’t be changed until the next program starts.

Lock Function

To enable or disable the lock function press and hold and buttons together.

Program schedule for heating zone

You can easily set your schedule via iT500 Plus app . If you want to set schedules directly by the iT500 thermostat, please follow the instruction below.
In the iT500 thermostat, you can define 6 scheduled programs per day. You can set different temperature levels for each program. While programming at specific time intervals you must be aware that you are about to set at what time the program will start. For example, if you set program 1 for 6:00 (AM) it means the program is going to run at 6:00 (AM) and will run till the time set for the next program. Example of 4 temperature levels for 6 schedule programs:

Note: When you set a program schedule, necessarily set all 6 programs. I.e. if you want to set 2 temperature levels, you need to set the first temperature level for the 1 to 5 program and set the second temperature level only for program 6.

Program schedule for hot water system

Note: In the program schedule for the hot water system (HW) you can set 3 schedule programs per day. For each HW program, you must define the time of start and the time of the end.
