Salus Controls RT520RF Wireless Thermostat, Boiler Plus Compliant Digital & Electronic Room Thermostat - White

Product Information

Wireless connections work using radio waves. They generally use a transmitter and receiver, the former of which is the thermostat itself. The latter is attached to what you're controlling (i.e. home heat, water heat, you get the picture). Because they function using radio waves, it's important to take your thermostat's location into account - but that's next on the list.

notifications in case of emergencies: for example, if the child opens a safety door or with dangerous objects To fix an unpaired device , simply turn off the device and wait. Once both lights are flashing, and the red light becomes solid, you've re-paired your devices. Easy, right?! These two elements work in harmony using a radio frequency (hence, the RF). 5/2 & 7 Day Programming Isolate the power and open up the receiver. Without moving any of the existing wires add a wire loop between the NO and COM terminals so that they are electrically joined together, close the receiver and restore power. The heating should come on now, but you won't have any thermostatic control. If the heating doesn't come on there is a fault that is not related to the Salus.We’ve been out to emergency repairs where a customer’s boiler suddenly started turning on and off randomly. At the thermostat, press both the 'up' and 'down' arrow keys at the right side of the display simultaneously and keep them pressed until the display goes off. If those steps don't work, it's time to look at your connection and location. Sometimes problems will fix themselves when you put your devices in better homes, sometimes it won't do anything. The worst thing you can expect is to need to call a professional to ensure your more important home parts (like a boiler) are functioning properly. It's always better to ask for help than to flounder helplessly until you give up. The heart of the SALUS Smart Home system, it connects your smart devices together and allows control via Smartphone, Tablet or PC, using the the app. View product OpenTherm Modulating Control 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.

Is there any chance that the TRV are actually controlling the boiler ie by keeping them on max they are continually trying to regulate the room temp? ( I think max is 25c+) I would have thought the Salus should be the one dictating what the boiler should do though otherwise is it impossible to have timed CH. Cheers. Optimum Start is a selectable function which, depending on the ambient room temperature, will start the boiler operation at the optimum time to achieve the set-point temperature. It saves energy by only firing the boiler for the minimum required time. If they're rechargeable, they can also die out after a certain number of power cycles (usually ~300 or so). Thanks for the responses. I have set all 5 cycles on the thermostat. TRV are on max setting in the living room where I keep the thermostat. At 10pm the thermostat will hit the 5th cycle and should tell the boiler to maintain a room temp of 5c. I am currently in the living room with the rads very hot to the touch and a reading of 22.5c so I would expect the boiler to switch off the CH mode and the heat to leave my rads. I am actually going to go and watch the boiler at 10pm to see what/ if anything happens. If my rads are still boiling hot at 11 then I know the Salus thermostat is bloody useless!!!

The Salus RT500RF is a great wireless programmable room thermostat. If you really want a wireless thermostat and have a small budget, this is one of the best and cheapest wireless thermostats on the market.

The Salus RT 520 RF features a wireless receiver that allows communication with the thermostat from anywhere within the home. This means that users can conveniently control their heating settings from any room without the need for wires or cables. The wireless functionality also makes installation hassle-free. If you already use the SALUS range, fill in the form and you will join our partner installers database. The Salus RT500RF tends to sit in the lower end of the wireless thermostats, price wise So, it’s one of the cheapest programmable thermostats on the market.

The Salus RT520RF is the latest addition to SALUS’ tried and tested RT range of thermostat heating controls. I have reset the thermostat several times and tried to manuallyreduce the temperature on it using the overide, but no reaction from the boiler or the Salus wired receiver whatsoever. At the end of the day, it boils down to knowing how wireless devices work, and what common issues with all of them are. Generally, the fix is similar, regardless of if it's a phone, doorbell, or thermostat.There are more expensive brands on the market. For instance, Honeywell offer a tonne of wireless thermostats. But, they’re typically a lot more expensive than the equivelent Salus stat. If a wireless thermostat is on the same radio frequency as yours (for instance, your neighbour), they’ll effectively, be controlling your heating system. And some cheap wireless thermostats don’t have an option to switch this frequency. If you genuinely can’t find an issue with your thermostat but you also can’t get heat, it’s time to look at what it’s controlling. While nobody wants to hear this, sometimes the easiest solutions aren’t the ones that are needed. Have a professional take a look and diagnose the issue.
