RT200 INSTRUCTION MANUAL 3

INTRODUCTION

A thermostat is a device that is used to switch

the heating system in your home on and off as

needed. It works by sensing the air

temperature and switching on the heating

when the air temperature falls below the

thermostat setting, and switching it off once

the set temperature has been reached.

The RT200 from Salus Controls is a stylish and

accurate electronic thermostat with a large,

easy to adjust setting dial. The thermostat has

been specifically designed to be used in 230V

AC heating applications.

Features

•Simple to use

•Large dial

•Stylish Casing

•LED heat call indicator

•Temperature range between 5 ºC and 35 ºC

OPERATION

The RT200 is adjusted very easily by turning the rotary dial on the front of

the thermostat to the required temperature setting. To adjust the set

temperature, turn the rotary dial to the left to set a lower temperature, or to

the right to set a higher temperature.

The Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the front panel will light when the

temperature is below the set value, showing that the thermostat is calling for

heat from the boiler. Once the room reaches the set temperature, the LED

will turn off and the RT200 will stop calling for heat from the boiler.

INSTALLATION

Please read the important safety information at the start of this manual before you

begin to install the thermostat.

The ideal position to locate the RT200 thermostat is about 1.5m above floor level, in

a location where the thermostat is accessible, reasonably lit and free from extremes of

temperature and draughts. Do not mount the thermostat on an outside wall, above a

radiator or in a location where it may be subjected to direct sunlight.

The electrical connections to the RT200 are made to the supplied industry standard

backplate. This simplifies installation, as no connections are made to the controller

itself. Connection details are shown below - no Earth connection is required for the

correct and safe operation of the RT200, but a parking terminal is provided to connect

an Earth wire if one is present.

After installing the backplate in a suitable location, wiring connections can be

made as shown above. The following criteria apply to the installation:

• The incoming AC mains supply should be 230V AC and fused at 5 amps.

• Optimum cable size for installation is 1.5 mm2; wiring colours should be in

accordance with the current requirements of the IEE Wiring Regulations.

• Cable entry should be from the rear of the backplate.

• All wiring connections should be securely made, and be firmly gripped

beneath the square brass washer on each terminal.

RT200 INSTRUCTION MANUAL 5

Do not restore the mains supply to the system until all associated items are fully installed.

NOTE: All electrical installation work should be carried out by a suitably qualified Electrician

or other competent person. If you are not sure how to install this thermostat consult either

with a qualified electrician, heating engineer or your boiler / heating system supplier for

advice on how to continue.

Do not remove or refit the RT200 onto the backplate without the mains supply to

the system being isolated.

ENERGY TIP

One way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature setting

that you are comfortable with, and then leave it set at this temperature. You can do

this by setting the room thermostat to a low temperature, (for example 17 °C) and

then increasing the setting by one degree each day until you are comfortable with

the room temperature - you won’t have to adjust the thermostat further, as

adjustment above this setting will waste energy - a 1 °C increase in temperature is

equal to 3% of your heating costs.

MAINTENANCE

The RT200 thermostat requires no special maintenance. Periodically, the outer casing

can be wiped clean using a dry cloth (please DO NOT use solvents, polishes, detergents

or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the thermostat).

There are no user serviceable parts within the unit; any servicing or repairs should

only be carried out by Salus Controls or their appointed agents.

Should the RT200 thermostat fail to function correctly, check:

• The RT200 temperature has been set correctly.

• Heating system time switch or programmer is switched on.
