ideal HEATING 221528 Halo Lite RF
WELCOME
Welcome to your new Ideal Halo control. This thermostat will help you to
control both your heating temperature and the times that your heating is on.
Halo Lite RF is a battery powered, wireless control, that communicates on an
868MHz frequency to a wired receiver located near to your boiler or heat pump
control box.
This user guide is applicable to the Halo Lite RF control only.
Halo Lite RF is a non-connected control (control is via the Halo Lite unit
only).
USING YOUR HALO LITE RF
MAIN FEATURES
Mode Selection
You can choose to run your Halo Lite RF in Auto, Manual or Off mode.
Auto: Runs your heating to pre-set scheduled times and temperatures.
Manual: You control the temperature by physically turning the dial.
Off: Your heating will be set to a low temperature (default 5 0C) for
frost protection.
Move between Auto, Manual and Off modes using the right hand side button,
scroll down the menu using the dial and push to select.
TOP TIP
Your Halo Lite RF is designed to provide the perfect balance of comfort and efficiency. It has a feature called Enhanced Load Compensation which balances the temperature in your radiators to maintain the target room temperature with optimum efficiency. As a result you might notice that when the temperature in your home reaches the target your radiators are not hot to touch. By controlling the temperature in your radiators your system is working in the most efficient way for you.
Override
If you are running a schedule with pre-set times (Auto mode) and you want to
adjust the temperature of your heating temporarily, simply turn the dial to
your desired temperature.
The new temperature will be active until the next scheduled change shown under
the target temperature.
The home screen will now display the override icon above the current
temperature.
TOP TIP
You could use this feature if you want to boost your heating to a higher temperature for a period of time. May be you’re feeling chilly or it’s the weekend and you’re staying up later than when your heating is scheduled.
Manual Override
In the event that the Halo Lite PRT loses signal with the halo lite RF
receiver, you boiler or heat pump can be used manually while the issue is
resolved. If your PRT shows HL01 or your receiver RF LED is solid red, you can
slide the switch from Auto to Manual position.
Once in the manual position the Override button can be pressed to switch your
boiler / heat pump on and off while the lost connection issues can be
investigated. When Override LED is solid green then the boiler / heat pump
will be on, when no illumination then it will be off.
Note the position of manual mode is meant to be for temporary use only, once
the system is operating normally please ensure the switch is returned to the
Auto Position.
Plus Hours
If you are running a schedule with pre-set times (Auto mode) and you want to
maintain the current temperature of your heating instead of moving to the next
setting simply press the dial.
A pop up menu will appear for you to select how long you would like to extend
the temperature for, turn and push the dial to make your selection.
Push the dial to extend the current heating setting.
Turn the dial to select how long you would like to extend your heating for.
Push the dial or press the right button to confirm your selection.
The home screen will now display the override icon above the target
temperature.
TOP TIP
You could use this feature if you want to keep your heating on for longer than
is scheduled.
Maybe you’re not going to work today and you want your heating to stay on all
morning.

6:00 – 8:00 21°C
8:00 – 16:00 OFF

scrolling and then pushing the dial to edit. Then use the dial to alter the
time or temperature and push to confirm. Push the dial or the right hand
