What is a programmable room thermostat?
... an explanation for householders
A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat.
A programmer allows you to set ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time periods to suit your own lifestyle.
A 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.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room
heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design of the heating
system, for example, the size of boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down. Turning a
programmable room thermostat to a lower setting 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. The best way to do this is to set low
temperatures first, say 18
°C
, and then turn them up by one degree each day until you
are comfortable with the temperatures. You won’t have to adjust the thermostat further.
Any adjustments above these settings will waste energy and cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one
programmable room thermostat to control the whole house. But you can have different
temperatures in individual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on
individual radiators. If you don’t have TRVs, you should choose a temperature that is
reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you can choose a slightly higher
setting to make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any
overheating in other rooms by adjusting the TRVs.

The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in spring
and autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.
You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, ‘Override’,
‘Advance’ or ‘Boost’. These are explained in the manufacturer’s instructions.
Programmable 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 prevent the thermostat from working properly.
INTRODUCTION
The RT500ROF is a programmable room thermostat with simple to operate energy
saving override control. Unlike standard programmable room thermostats the
programme on the programmable room thermostat can be temporarily overridden
using the remote override control.
The One Touch Override (OTO) is normally mounted at the main exit of the property
and is pressed on entry or exit. When activated, the OTO will override the programmed
temperature on the RT500 Programmable room thermostat.
YOUR RT500ROF INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
RT500 Programmable Room Thermostat
The RT500 programmable room thermostat from SALUS
Controls is a stylish and accurate 5/2 or 7 day
programmable electronic thermostat with a large, easy
to read display. The RT500 programmable thermostat
can replace most common residential thermostats and
is designed to be used with electric, gas or oil heating
control systems. Unlike ordinary single unit design
thermostats, this is a new type of thermostat separating
the operational functions into three units.
The RT500 programmable room thermostat provides
the user interface and temperature sensing / control.

RT500 Receiver
The RT500 Receiver is used for wiring connections
and heat on/off control. This receiver has been
specifically designed to be used for both Volt Free
and AC heating applications.
One Touch Override (OTO)
The RF One Touch Energy Saving Override Control
(OTO) is used to provide a temporary change to the
programme on the RT500.This simple to use control
can be activated when leaving your property or
when you just want to override the programme on
the RT500 programmable room thermostat.

INSTALLATION OF RT500ROF
RT500 Programmable Room Thermostat
The RT500 can be used in any convenient location by using the included
stand, or can be easily installed in a fixed position using the industry
standard back plate supplied with the unit – this is used purely for mounting
purposes, as no wiring is needed for the RT500. The back plate can be
mounted directly to the wall surface.
The ideal position to locate the RT500 is 1.5m above floor level. It should be
mounted in a location where the thermostat is free from extremes of
temperature.
To ensure trouble free operation of the Radio Frequency (RF) signal, always
ensure that the programmable thermostat is mounted away from any
possible sources of interference (such as radios, TV sets, computers, etc) and
is not mounted on or in close proximity to large metal objects. Installing the
RT500 in enclosed areas such as basements is not recommended.
RT500 Jumper Settings
Changes to the jumper settings should only be made by the
engineer carrying out the installation or other qualified person.
The installer should select the jumper
positions required for programme or span if
changes need to be made to the factory default
settings. These jumpers are found on the rear of
the RT500. Jumpers 1-5 are for RF address
coding and are explained on page 14.
Jumper Function
Program 5-2 (factory default setting) or 7
individual days programming.
Span Temperature span of ± 0.5°C
(factory default setting) or ± 1.0°C
1,2,3,4,5 RF address code (see Page 14).
NOTE:
The Reset button must be pressed after changing jumper positions.

INSTALLATION OF RT500ROF
RT500 Receiver
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 programmable thermostat
consult either with a qualified electrician, heating engineer or your
boiler / heating system supplier for advice on how to continue.
The RT500 Receiver should be mounted in a suitable location that is both
accessible for the connection of mains and control wiring, and allows good
reception of the RF signal. The Receiver needs a 230V AC mains supply to
operate, and this should be fused appropriately (13A max.). The Receiver
should be mounted in a location where it will
not come into contact with water, moisture
or condensation.
The On/Off switch is accessible from the front
face of the Receiver, as shown in this picture:
On the front cover of the Receiver you will see
that there is the On/Off switch and two Light
Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The switch allows
you to turn off the Receiver if necessary to
prevent it calling for heat.
The bottom LED (red) will illuminate when
the switch is in the ‘On’ position and the unit
is receiving power. The top LED (green)
illuminates when the Receiver unit is receiving
a heat call transmission from the RT500.
The wiring terminals and RF Address Code
setting DIP switches are located on the rear of
the Receiver, as shown in this picture:
Do not apply power until you are ready to
setup RF communications on page 13
