Switch 1 controls the display screen. If it is set to ’ON’ the temperature is displayed as
Fahrenheit. If it is set to ‘OFF’ the temperature is displayed as Celsius.
Prior to installation the maximum comfort temperature must be set by using the knob marked
COMF located at the back of the controller as shown below. The range is 15°C to 35°C. The
maximum comfort temperature limits the comfort temperature that can be set by users after
installation. After installation, the user can adjust the comfort temperature using the UP and
DOWN buttons, in the range from 15°C up to the maximum comfort temperature set by the
knob marked COMF.
After pressing the on button the heating will operate until the set room temperature is
achieved, at this point the ‘h’ indicator on the display will start flashing. When the room
temperature drops the heating will become active again and the ‘h’ indicator will change
from flashing to steadily on.
The display screen will show the actual room temperature, except briefly when either of the
two adjustment buttons are pressed, the new target room temperature is then temporarily
displayed.

Installation and User Guide
1. Getting to know your SLVTB wireless battery powered controller
2. Temperature Control Mode
Temperature control for Comfort period
Symbol ‘L’ is flashing. Room temperature is below the
set temperature. Heating is active.
Temperature control for comfort and setback periods can be used individually or together. This can also be used in
conjunction with the timer mode options.
In this mode, the controller will set heating active when the room temperature
drops below the set temperature. This feature can be used for frost protection or in
situations where a minimum room temperature must be maintained. The setback
temperature can be set using the knob marked SETB mounted on the back of the
unit as shown above. This can be set from 0ºC - 15ºC.
Temperature control for Setback period
For this mode, the switches are set as shown below.
Variable resistors to set
maximum comfort and
setback temperatures
If the heating is active in the setback mode, the display will show letter ‘L’ that is flashing.
Heating status :
h -heating active
h flashing - heating inactive, room
at set temperature
h not shown -heating inactive
Temperature not flashing : indicating room temperature

The SLVTB controller can control an unlimited number of heaters. The controller has 2 operating modes. It has to be
set to the required mode prior to the installation by using the switches located at the back of the controller. The
controller is powered by two AAA batteries. The heating status and the room temperature are displayed.
NOTE :
After changing any settings, in order for the change to take
place, the controller has to be set to heating inactive status.

The SLVTB controller should be fixed to the wall. Avoid areas with draught or direct sun. Do not position the
controller above or close to the heaters or other heat sources. Damp areas or areas where the SLVTB can be
mechanically damaged should also be avoided. Avoid installing the controller in areas where there are metal
objects between the heater and the controller. This will reduce the RF range. The RF range in ideal conditions can
be up to 50m, however this can be reduced when the signal is passing through the walls or other objects. The
range can also be affected where the controller is mounted close to power cables, motors or equipment
producing a strong electromagnetic field. If the temperature control feature is used it is necessary to use one
controller for each room or zone.
In timer mode, switch 3 or 4 must be in the ‘ON’ position. This mode allows for 3 different
settings which will alter the time period for each segment.
Switch 3 - Each time period represents 5 minutes.
Switch 4 - Each time period represents 15 minutes
Switch 3 & 4 - Each time period represents 30 minutes
3. Timer Mode
For timer mode, the switches are set as shown below.
Controller functionality in timer mode:
In timer mode, the controller acts as a 4 stage run-back timer. When the controller is
in stand-by mode and button is pressed, the display will show 0h00. When pressed
again the display will show time for the first stage of the run back timer in minutes
and heating is activated. When pressed again the display will show time for the
second stage and so on. Each stage is representing a time period that is selected
when setting the switches.
In the example, the only switch in the ‘ON’ position would be number 3. The button
would be pressed four times to activate four 5-minute segments resulting in the
heater staying on for 20 minutes. At the end of the last time period the controller is
now in stand-by mode.
In the timer mode, the heating status is indicated by letter ‘t’ at the first display
position. If the On button is pressed the display will show remaining time. The
remaining time can be increased at any time by pressing the On button.
Heating status :
t -heating active
t flashing - heating inactive, room at
set temperature
t not shown -heating inactive
Temperature not flashing : indicating room temperature
Temperature flashing : indicating set temperature when using UP or DOWN buttons
5. Installation
The controller is supplied with a white plastic back box but it was designed to fit onto most single gang back boxes.
The controller is powered by two AAA batteries that are supplied. To activate the controller pull the plastic tab
located at the + battery terminal. The batteries should be replaced every 12 months.
