Transceiver (Boiler Mounted)
1 During normal operation light (A) is on for Hot Water operation.
2 During normal operation light (B) is on for Central Heating operation.
3 If the Reset Button is pressed on the room thermostat the signal lights on the receiver unit will light. If less than 4 lights
are on either the room thermostat is too far from the boiler or the batteries in the room thermostat need replacing. At
the same time “M-050 S-050” is shown on the room thermostat. The number is another indicator of signal strength
– the lower the number the better.

Optimisation provides for greater comfort and economy of operation. The boiler will be switched on
earlier than the programmed heating on time. This provides for the room temperature to be achieved
at the programmed heating on time rather than some time afterwards. The boiler will automatically
only use the minimum energy required in order to achieve the desired room temperature.

Efciency
The Room Stat uses the OpenTherm protocol to control the boiler ow temperature set point in
central heating operation. This means that the boiler will run in its most efcient manner and offer
signicant savings in energy usage over standard room thermostats. It will also give more accurate
and comfortable temperature control.
Frost Protection
If the temperature in the room falls below 5ºC, the boiler will re to maintain the minimum 5ºC set
point regardless of whether the timer is in an Off period or not.

Battery Replacement
The unit requires 2 x AA 1.5V Batteries.
Batteries should operate for
approximately 18 months.
Only good quality 1.5V alkaline
batteries should be used. DO NOT use
re-chargeable batteries as they only have
a nominal terminal voltage of 1.2V
To replace batteries remove the battery
on the front of the room stat to gain
access.
Note that if the batteries are removed for more than 2 hours then the time and date will be lost.
If the batteries are not replaced, all 5 lights on the receiver unit on the boiler will ash. After 1 hour
the boiler will operate in Emergency Mode with a continuous, but reduced temperature.
