ELKO RFTC-50/G Autonomous Temperature Controller
Warning
Instruction manual is designated for mounting and also for user of the device. It is always a part of its packing. Installation and connection can be carried out only by a person with adequate professional qualification upon understanding this instruction manual and functions of the device, and while observing all valid regulations. Trouble-free function of the device also depends on transportation, storing and handling. In case you notice any sign of damage, deformation, malfunction or missing part, do not install this device and return it to its seller. It is necessary to treat this product and its parts as electronic waste after its lifetime is terminated. Before starting installation, make sure that all wires, connected parts or terminals are de-energized. While mounting and servicing observe safety regulations, norms, directives and professional, and export regulations for working with electrical devices. Do not touch parts of the device that are energized – life threat. Due to transmissivity of RF signal, observe correct location of RF components in a building where the installation is taking place. RF Control is designated only for mounting in interiors. Devices are not designated for installation into exteriors and humid spaces. The must not be installed into metal switchboards and into plastic switchboards with metal door – transmissivity of RF signal is then impossible, do not use in areas affected by high-frequency interference. RF Control is not recommended for pulleys etc. – radiofrequency signal can be shielded by an obstruction, interfered, battery of the transceiver can get fl at etc. and thus disable remote control.
Characteristics
-
the temperature controller RFTC-50/G is used as a simple solution for controlling temperature in a room or the home
-
the RFTC-50/G is a programmable temperature controller with the option of setting a weekly program, which offers two regulation options:
a) the internal sensor scans the temperature, and based on the set command, it gives the command to switch on the switching actuator RFSA-6x, RFUS-61 or RFSC-61. This can be used mainly to control temperature of heaters, hall panels, convection heaters, etc.
b) the internal sensor scans the temperature, and based on the set command (weekly program), it switches on the actuator RFSTI-11B, which also scans the critical fl oor temperature (this occurs to prevent damage when opening a window). This solution is especially suitable for underfl oor heating. -
control is performed using buttons, individual symbols (temperature, battery, mode, etc.) are displayed on a backlit LCD display
-
the controller is powered by: batteries – 2 x AAA 1.5 V
-
the flat rear side of the device enables its placement anywhere in the room where you wish to measure temperature
-
the LOGUS90 frame design offers a luxurious design (glass, wood, stone, metal) with the option of placing it in multiple frames
ELKO EP declares that the RFTC-50/G type of radio equipment complies with Directive 2014/53 / EU. The full EU Declaration of Conformity is available at: www.elkoep.com/wireless-temperature-controller—rftc-50g

Battery replacement
Prior to first assembly, remove the moldings in the frame and peel off the
protective film from the display.
After inserting the batteries, all features for controlling the display
function illuminate for 2 seconds, then the FW version is displayed in the
upper row.
Placement
Do not expose it to sharp temperature changes, direct sunlight or excessive moisture. Place the temperature units so that they are not near windows or heating equipment, etc., which could influence the internal temperature sensor.
Attention:
When you install iNELS RF Control system, you have to keep minimal distance 1
cm between each units.
Between the individual commands must be an interval of at least 1s.

displays in the case of low battery voltage
vacation mode
constantly illuminated – connection with all actuators successful
flashing – connection successful only with certain actuators
not illuminated – connection unsuccessful with all actuators
Battery status indicator:
A symbol is displayed when the batteries are running low. The dead battery
indicator shows that the voltage is insufficient for reliable communication
with a paired actuator(s).
Description of control
Button functions for controlling:
- Short press of buttons ^ ^ (< 2 s)
- switching menu items, changing value
Long button press ^ ( > 2 s)
- unlocking the menu item or time program for changing
- confirmation of changed value after setting and locking of the menu item or program
Long button press ^ ( > 2 s)
refusal of changed value, return to original value and locking of the menu
item or program
Short press of hidden button ( < 2 s)
- closing menu – after closing the menu communication with actuators is performed
- the default display indicates the update of the actuator status (e.g. upon actuator power failure)
Long press of hidden button ( > 2 s)
upon default display entry to the menu
Selecting the heating mode
At the default display, press and hold the button ^ . In the upper row of the
display, the indicator rEG appears and the symbol of the currently chosen
heating mode fl ashes, or the indicator OFF appears. Now by shortly pressing
the buttons ^ ^ you can select the heating mode. Confirm the heating mode
selection by pressing and holding the button ^ .
You can return to the original mode by pressing and holding . This also brings
you to the initial display.
Setting the temperature for manual mode
At the default display, briefly press the button ^ or ^ . In the upper row, the indication t °C is displayed and in the lower row the current selected temperature flashes.
By short presses of the buttons ^ ^ , you will change the value by an
increment of 0.5 °C.
By pressing and holding the buttons ^/^, you begin accelerated setting of the
value.
After completing the settings, after 5 seconds it automatically returns to the
initial display, thereby confirming the temperature change. It also assesses
the current and required temperatures and communicates with the actuator(s).
Entering the programming menu
- only possible from the default display by pressing and holding the hidden button
- the display indicates ProG
- by short presses of the buttons ^ ^ , you can toggle between display ProG and SEt
- by pressing and holding the button ^ you select entry into the setting of time programs (ProG) or into the menu (SEt)
The programming step number is indicated on the lower bar graph by the number of displayed lines (1-6). The day of the week for which the given program step is set is displayed in the upper corner of the display.
If the program type „working day / weekend“ is selected, then for working days
the symbols „1“, „2“, „3“, „4“, „5“ are displayed, and for the weekend „6“,
„7“.
If the program type „every day the same“ is displayed, then for working days
the symbols „1“, „2“, „3“, „4“, „5“, „6“ and „7“ are displayed.
If a programming step is to remain unused, dashes are set in the item StA.
Entering the settings menu
OFF – switched off
The set value means a shift in local time (time zone) against UTC, range -1 to +2 (covers the countries in the EU). For EU countries it is valid that the time shift always occurs at 1:00 UTC, it is thus necessary to know the time zone to fi nd out at what time in local time the winter and summer daylight savings time shifts are to occur.
In the upper row, the period of vacation timer is shown in hours or days, and the lower row indicates the required temperature.
By pressing and holding ^ you unlock the temperature to settings and by short presses of the buttons ^ ^ you set the required temperature. By pressing and holding the button ^ you confi rm the set temperature while switching into the setting of the time range of the vacation timer – days or hours – and further units and tens of days or hours.
