4. Funcon
With the Radiator Thermostat Model M you can convenient-
ly regulate the room temperature. Thanks to pre-programmed
or individually tailored heating and non-heating phases the de-
sired temperature can be comfortably adjusted. The device
moves a valve to control the flow of heat to the radiator. The
radiator thermostat ts to all common radiator valves and is easy to
install without having to drain any water or intervene in the heang
system. The addional boost funcon enables quick, short-term ra-
diator heang by opening the valve for 5 minutes. This immediately
brings a comfortable warmth to the room.

7. Inserng (replacing) baeries
Upon delivery, the baeries are already inserted with an insu-
laon strip. For the device to funcon, please remove this strip.
To replace the baeries, please proceed as follows:
• Press the baery compartment cover on both sides with your n-
gers and pull it away from device body.
• Insert 2 new LR6 (mignon/AA) baeries in the baery compart-
ment, making sure they are the right way round.
• Reaach the baery compartment cover and latch it into place.
The service life of new alkaline baeries is approximately 3
years. A baery symbol ( ) on the display indicates that the
baeries need to be replaced. Aer removing the empty bat-
teries, wait approximately 1 minute before inserng the new
ones. This device does not support operaon with rechargea-
ble baeries.
Never recharge standard baeries. Doing so will present a risk
of explosion. Do not throw the baeries into a re. Do not
short-circuit baeries.
8. Set date and me
Aer inserng baeries, the date and me is automacally request-
ed aer a brief display of the rmware version number and short mo-
tor run (“INS”).
• Set the year, month, day, hour and minute with the control wheel
and conrm by pressing the control wheel briey (E).
You can also adjust the me and date in the menu under “DAT”.
The motor moves the control pin backwards during the seng of
date and me.
• If “INS” and the rotang acvity symbol “ ” are displayed, the mo-
tor is sll reversing. When only “INS” is shown in the display, the
radiator thermostat can be installed on the valve.
• The week program and other sengs can be adjusted before instal-
laon. Press the Mode/Menu buon for this, while “INS” is shown
in the display. You will nd further informaon in chapter “11. Set-
ng week program”.
• Aer the programming has been completed, “INS” is shown again
in the display and installaon can take place.
9. Installaon on the radiator
The radiator thermostat is easy to install where thermostac valves
have previously been ed, and can be done without draining heat-
ing water or intervening in the heang system. No special tools are
required, and the heang does not have to be switched o.
It is recommended to install the device while radiators / pipes
are not hot.
The union nut aached to the radiator thermostat can be used uni-
versally and without accessories for valves of the most popular man-
ufacturers with a thread size of M30 x 1.5 mm.
9.1 Removing the old dial
• Rotate your exisng thermostat dial to the maximum value (an-
-clockwise). The thermostat dial then no longer presses against
the valve spindle, making it easier to remove.
• Now remove the thermostat dial.
• If required, x one of the supplied adapters. Aerwards, the adap-
on run can be iniated (see chapter „10. Adapon run“).
9.2 Adapters for Danfoss valves
By means of the adapters included in the package, the device can be
installed on radiator valves of types Danfoss RA, RAV and RAVL.
The assignment of the suitable adapter ring to the relevant valve can
be found in the following illustraons.
The Danfoss valve bodies have elongated notches (I) around their cir-
cumference (see arrow), which also ensure that the adapter is prop-
erly seated when it snaps on.
If required, place the provided support ring (L) into the ange
before installing the radiator thermostat.
During installaon, please ensure that the pins inside the adapt-
er (J) are lined up with the notches (I) on the valve. Ensure that
the adapter is properly clipped on.
Take care during installaon that you do not trap your ngers
between the two halves of the adapter!
The RA and RAV adapters have been manufactured with pre-tension
in order to provide a beer seat. Use a screwdriver during installaon
if necessary, and bend it open slightly in the vicinity of the screw. Af-
ter clipping onto the valve body, please aach the adapter using the
provided screw and nut.

Support ring
The valves from dierent manufacturers may have tolerance uctu-
aons that make the radiator thermostat more loosely seated on the
valve. In this case, the provided support ring (L) should be placed into
the ange before installing the radiator thermostat.

10. Adapon run
After the batteries have been inserted the motor reverses.
Meanwhile, “INS” and the activity symbol ( ) are displayed.
As soon as “INS” is displayed without the activity symbol
( ), the radiator thermostat can be installed. This is followed by an
adapng run (“AdA”) to adapt the thermostat to the valve.
• Aach the radiator thermostat to the valve.
• Tighten the union nut.
• Press the control wheel briey when “INS” is displayed.
It is now that the radiator thermostat performs the adapon run. “AdA”
and the acvity symbol ( ) are displayed. During this me, no other
operaon is possible.

If the adapon run has been iniated prior to installing, please
press the control wheel briey and the motor reverses to the
“INS” posion. If an error message (F1, F2, F3) is displayed, the
motor similarly travels back to the “INS” posion (see secon
25).
11. Seng the program for the week
For each day, up to 3 heang phases (7 change sengs) can be set sep-
arately. The programming is carried out for the selected days, where-
by temperature sengs have to be set for the enre period between
00:00 and 23:59.

• Repeat this procedure unl all the other desired temperatures for
the me period from 0:00 to 23:59 have been stored.
• If all 7 switching me points have been allocated, 23:59 is displayed
as the nal switching point to be conrmed.
Bars for switching me periods for every second me interval
are shown in the display.
In auto mode, the temperature can be changed at any me using
the control wheel. The modied temperature will then remain
the same unl the next point at which the program changes.
11.1 Week program: Example
For each day of the week up to 3 heang phases (7 change sengs)
with individual temperature sengs can be saved with the radiator
thermostat.
Two heang phases from 6:00 to 9:00 and from 17:00 to 23:00 for all
weekdays alike are saved as factory sengs:
from 00:00 to 06:00 17.0 °C
from 06:00 to 09:00 21.0 °C
from 09:00 to 17:00 17.0 °C
from 17:00 to 23:00 21.0 °C
from 23:00 to 23:59 17.0 °C
In this example, bars are displayed only for the intervals 06:00
to 09:00 h and 17:00 to 23:00 h.
12. Display content in normal mode
Switching me periods, operang mode,
programmed temperature and week day are
displayed in normal mode.
The bars for switching me periods of the week
program will be displayed for every second
me interval (please see “11.1 Week program: Example”).
13. Boost funcon
The boost funcon makes use of human sensaons of heat. When ac-
vang the boost funcon, the heang valve is immediately opened
to 80 % for 5 minutes (factory seng). The heang of a room takes
longer than 5 minutes, but the heat given o by the radiator can be
felt immediately. If, for example, you arrive home earlier than usual or
you need some extra heat in the morning in the bathroom, the boost
funcon will help you to heat the room up quickly.
• Press the control wheel briey to acvate the boost buon.
• The remaining me for the funcon will be counted down in sec-
onds (“B299” to “B000”).
• Aer these 5 minutes have elapsed, the device changes to the mode
which was previously acve (auto/manu) with the previously set
temperature.
• The funcon can be deacvated prematurely at any me by press-
ing the control wheel again.
The boost funcon will not have an immediate eect if the ra-
diator is covered or concealed (e.g. by a sofa). The open-window
funcon is deacvated while the boost funcon is acve.
14. Seng the holiday funcon
If you want to maintain a xed temperature for a certain period, e.g.
during your holidays or a party, the holiday funcon can be used.
• Briey press the Mode/Menu buon repeatedly, unl the suitcase
symbol ( ) appears in the display.
• Change the me unl which the temperature shall remain with the
control wheel and conrm by pressing the control wheel briey.
• Then set the date and conrm by pressing the control wheel briey.
• Set the temperature and conrm by pressing the control wheel
briey. The display will ash to conrm.
