2. General information
Room thermostat eSTER_x40 is designed for
wireless cooperation with external radio
transmission module ISM_xSMART, which is
wired to the main controller. The thermostat
is installed in a selected room, eg a living
room, and is designed to maintain a preset
room temperature by sending a radio signal
to a module connected to the main
controller. The implemented encrypted, two-
way radio communication allows the
transmission of information from the main
controller to the thermostat, including the
fuel level in the fuel tank, alarm statuses of
the regulator and external temperature
values. The thermostat on the backlit LCD
display shows information about the room
temperature value, selected operating mode,
current time with simultaneous clock
synchronization with the main controller.
Radio communication: 1 - eSTER_x40 thermostat,
2 - ISM_xSMART radio module, 3 - main
controller.

14.Installation of the thermostat
The eSTER_x40 thermostat is intended for
installation only in a dry habitable room and
should be mounted on a wall or placed on a
flat surface (as a free-standing device) in a
room representative for a given heating
circuit. After choosing the place of assembly,
make sure that:
•the selected location is free of excessive
humidity and the ambient temperature of
the thermostat should be within the
range of 5..35C,
•the chosen location should ensure free air
circulation and should be located away
from heat-emitting sources, eg electronic
equipment, fireplace, heater and direct
sunlight,
•the selected place must not cause
interference or a lack of radio signal.
Description in point 15.4.
The thermostat should be mounted at a
height enabling convenient operation,
typically 1.5 m above the floor.
The thermostat should be screwed to the
wall with mounting screws. Access to the
screw holes is obtained by opening and
removing the back cover of the thermostat.
A flat screwdriver can be used to open the
cover.
The cover is screwed to the selected location
of the wall with the appropriate position, as
shown in the figure below. The hole spacing
can be determined by attaching the cover to
the wall.

12
In order to place the thermostat on a
flat surface, use a dedicated stand.
14.1 Inserting or replacing the
batteries in the thermostat
To insert or replace the battery, remove the
back cover of the thermostat housing.
When inserting the batteries, the
battery poles have to be positioned
correctly.
It is recommended to use alkaline
batteries to power the thermostat.
The thermostat's working time
depends on the quality of the
batteries used.
15.Radio module
15.1 Installation and connection of the
radio module to the main
controller
The ISM_xSMART radio module should be
mounted on a wall near the installation
location of the main controller. If the radio
connection is poor, try placing the module in
other places. Moving the module even by a
few centimeters can affect the quality of the
connection.
Placing a radio module in a metal
casing, eg a mounting box, a metal
boiler casing, etc., will dampen the
radio signal and thus interfere with
the operation of this module.
The radio module should be screwed to the
wall with mounting screws. Access to holes
for assembly screws is obtained after
unscrewing the cover of this module.
Screw holes
Assembly screw

13
Terminals D +, D-, GND, 12 VDC of the radio
module should be connected to the RS485
transmission socket of the main controller, in
accordance with point. 15.5
When connecting the transmission
and power supply attention should
be paid to the proper polarity of
connection of D +, D- and GND, 12
V between the radio module and the
main controller. Improper
connection may lead to damage to
the main controller or errors in its
operation.
The maximum cable length depends
on the cross-section of the wires.
For a 0.5 mm2wire, it should not
exceed 30 m. The cross-section
should not, however, be less than
0.5 mm2.
15.2 Pairing the radio module with the
thermostat
The radio module connected
electrically to the main controller
requires pairing with a thermostat.
Until the pairing with the radio module on
the thermostat screen is complete, the
and symbols are permanently displayed.
Pairing from the main controller menu:
The pairing method is only available
when the main controller program is
fully compatible with the radio
module.
Enter the main regulator menu:
MENU →General settings →Radio
module settings → Pairing mode and set
the Pairing mode to Yes, then the pairing
mode will be activated for 4 minutes, during
this time the thermostat with the radio
module should be paired. To do this, hold
simultaneously and button for 2
seconds in the thermostat and then select
the program (P03) in the user menu of the
thermostat, where "PAr" is displayed on the
screen. After accepting with button, the
pairing will start (the word "PAr" begins to
flash).

14
If the thermostat has never been
paired with the radio module
(factory setting), then pairing
occurs after pressing the
button, without having to enter the
user menu.
The correctness of the pairing will be
confirmed by the message "END" and
"Succ" on the thermostat. The and
symbols are also no longer visible on the
thermostat screen. During the active pairing
mode, you can pair, in the same way,
subsequent thermostats. After correctly
pairing the thermostats with the radio
module, end the pairing mode in the main
regulator menu or you can wait for the active
pairing time to expire.
After establishing the radio connection with
the thermostat in the main controller
Information menu, the thermostats will be
shown as eSTER_x40, with the version of the
software displayed.
Connecting the radio module to the
master controller again does not
require pairing if the thermostats
have previously been paired.
Pairing directly from the radio module:
With limited compatibility of the main
controller program with the radio module,
the Pbutton of the radio module is used to
start the pairing mode, which should be
briefly pressed once - then the LED will start
to flash, which means that the pairing mode
will be activated for 4 minutes.
Only one thermostat should be paired at this
time, analogously as described during pairing
from the main controller menu level. After
correct pairing of the thermostat, end the
pairing mode by briefly pressing the Pbutton
or wait until the active pairing time expires.
After establishing the radio connection with
the thermostat in the main controller
Information menu, the thermostat will be
visible as ecoSTER TOUCH, with the given
version of the software.
The pairing method with the P
button can also be used when the
radio module program is fully
compatible with the main controller.
15.3 Resetting the memory of the radio
module pairing
The radio module stores data on paired
thermostats in its memory, so after replacing
any thermostat it is necessary to reset the
memory of the radio module by setting the
parameter in the main controller menu:
MENU →General settings →Radio
module settings → Delete the device
association = Yes.
Memory reset can also be performed by
pressing the Pbutton of the radio module for
about 8 seconds. Confirmation of removing
the pairing memory is to turn off the LED for
a moment, immediately after releasing the P
button.
The reset radio module requires re-
pairing with thermostats.
15.4 Cooperation of the radio module
with several thermostats
The cooperation of the main
controller with more than one
thermostat is possible only when
the radio module program is fully
compatible with the main controller.
To check if the main controller program is
fully compatible with the radio module, select
the tab in the main controller menu:
MENU →Information →Programs
versions and if ISM_xSMART information is
visible, with the displayed version of the
program, the radio module will work with up
to three thermostats, if there is no
information, the radio module can work with
only one thermostat. In order to check if it is
possible to get full cooperation with
subsequent thermostats, contact the
manufacturer of the main regulator, who will
determine if it will be possible to update the

15
software of the main controller so that this
cooperation will be ensured.
The radio module can operate with
up to three thermostats.
Correctly paired thermostats with a
radio module require setting an
individual address for each of the
thermostats.
The address for the thermostat is set in the
user menu, parameter (P35). One should set
a different address for each thermostat in the
range 1..3.
The correctness of the individual address
settings can be checked in the main
controller Information menu, where the
individual thermostats will be displayed as:
eSTER_x40 T1, eSTER_x40 T2, eSTER_x40
T3.
The structural elements of the building, the
layout and equipment of rooms, the amount
of electronic equipment, the distance
between the installation place of the radio
module and the thermostat affect the level of
the received radio signal, therefore when
choosing a place to install the thermostat,
take into account the obtained signal level in
the selected location by observing the
symbol on thermostat screen. If the
symbol:
- is not displayed, the radio connection with
the radio module is correct. The symbol is
shown only briefly during active radio
communication with the radio module,
- flashing, there is no radio connection or
there is a weak signal and you should choose
a different place to install the thermostat.
The value of the radio signal strength can be
read in parameter (P30) of the thermostat
user menu.
If the radio connection to the
thermostat is lost, the main
controller will go into operating
mode without a thermostat after a
few minutes.
15.5 Connecting the radio module to
selected main controllers

It is not recommended to turn off
the power supply of the main
regulator due to frequent attempts
to obtain a radio connection of the
thermostat with a radio module,
which leads to a quick discharge of
the battery in the thermostat.

rays, and vibrations higher than typical
during road transport. Storage and transport
temperature should not exceed -10…60°C.
18.Description of possible faults
Symptoms
Tips
The thermostat
is not working.
The display
shows nothing.
Check the correct installation
of the battery - point 14.1 or
whether the batteries used are
not discharged.
The thermostat
is working but
there is no
backlight on
the display.
This is a normal phenomenon
that occurs with partially
discharged batteries. The
thermostat is still working
correctly. If the backlight is
required, replace the batteries
with new ones - point. 14.1
Buttons for
changing
settings do not
work.
Check if the buttons are not
blocked and if necessary
disable the child lock - point 9
(item 16).
The thermostat
does not start
the heating
mode.
The preset temperature may
be lower than the current room
temperature - increase the
preset temperature.
The radio
module can’t be
paired with a
thermostat or
several
thermostats.
The cause may be a lack of
coverage. For the time of
pairing with the radio module,
place the thermostat near this
radio module.
The battery in
the thermostat
is discharging
too quickly.
Check that the batteries used
comply with the
recommendations and are of
good quality. The cause may
also be frequent attempts to
connect the thermostat with
the radio module, eg during
longer interruptions in the
power supply of the main
controller.
