heatmiser Slimline-RF V3 Programmable Wireless Thermostat

What is a Programmable Room Thermostat?

A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat.

The programmer allows you to set “On” and “Setback” periods to suit your own lifestyle. The room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached.

So a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it should reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different temperatures in your home at different times of the day (and days of the week) to meet your particular needs and preferences.

Setting a room thermostat to a higher temperature will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design & size of the heating system.

Similarly reducing the temperature setting does not affect how quickly the room cools down. Setting a programmable room thermostat to a lower temperature will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy.

The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with at the different times you have chosen, and then leave it alone to do its job.

Installation Procedure

Do
Mount the thermostat at eye level. Read the instructions fully so you get the best from our product.

Don’t
Do not install near to a direct heat source as this will affect functionality. Do not push hard on the LCD screen as this may cause irreparable damage.

Room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may also prevent the thermostat from working properly.

This wireless thermostat is designed to be surface mounted.

Step 1
Carefully separate the front half of the thermostat from the back plate by placing a small flat head terminal driver into the slots on the bottom face of the thermostat.

Step 2
Mark 2 hole positions on the wall using the backplate as a positioning template. Drill at the marked positions and insert a wall plug into each hole.

Step 3
Screw the thermostat back plate securely on the wall.

Step 4
Clip the front of the thermostat back onto the thermostat back plate.

Installing the Batteries

2x AAA batteries have been supplied with this thermostat.

To access the battery holder, push and release the compartment door located on the bottom face of the thermostat. The thermostat will inform you when the batteries need to be replaced by displaying the battery icon on screen. Do NOT use rechargeable batteries with this product!

Insert the batteries in the empty battery holder, ensuring that each battery is orientated for the correct polarity + / – .

Push the battery holder back inside the thermostat until it is secured in its closed position.

Replacing the Batteries

Batteries have a fixed lifespan and will need to be replaced occasionally to ensure the thermostat operates correctly.

The thermostat will inform you when the batteries need to be replaced by displaying the battery icon on screen.

Note: You must replace the batteries within 1 minute of removal in order to retain the current clock and comfort level settings.

Receiver Type

Slimline-RF V3 will send a wireless signal to a receiver to switch on the heating or hot water. Select the receiver type you are using from the list shown here on pages 9 & 10, and follow the pairing instructions on the relevant page.
To control heating only, configure feature 10 on the Slimline-RF to mode 00 or

To control heating & hot water, configure feature 10 to mode 02, (see page 34).

Optional Features Explained

Feature 01 – Temperature Format: This function allows you to select between °C and °F.

Feature 02 Switching Differential: This function allows you to increase the switching differential of the thermostat. The default is 1°C which means that with a set temperature of 20°C, the thermostat will switch the heating on at 19°C and off at 20°C. With a 2°C differential, the heating will switch on at 18°C and off at 20°C.

Feature 03 Frost Protect: You can set whether the thermostat will maintain the frost temperature when the thermostat display is turned off. As a default, this is enabled.

F eature 04 Output Delay: To prevent rapid switching, and output delay can be entered. This can be set from 00 – 15 minutes. The default is 00 which means there is no delay.

Feature 05 Temperature Up/Down Limit: This function allows you to limit the use of the up and down keys. This limit is also applicable when the thermostat is locked and so allows you to give others limited control over the heating system.

Feature 06 Air Sensor Selection: On this thermostat, you can select which sensor should be used – built in sensor or remote air sensor.

Feature 07 Optimum Start: Optimum start will delay the start up of the heating system to the latest possible moment to avoid unnecessary heating and ensure the building is warm at the programmed time. The thermostat uses the rate of change information to calculate how long the heating needs to raise the building temperature 1°C (with a rate of change of 20, the thermostat has calculated the heating needs 20 minutes to raise the building temperature 1°C) and starts the heating accordingly.

Feature 08 Rate of Change: For information only.
Feature 09 Program Mode: The following program modes are available; 5/2 Day Programming 4 levels for the weekdays and 4 different levels for the weekend. 7 Day Programming 4 levels for each day. 24 Hours 4 levels over a 24-hour period.

Feature 10 Thermostat Mode: Here you can set in which mode you would like the thermostat to operate. The options are, manual (non-programmable), programmable, or programmable with hot water time clock.
