INTRODUCTION
A thermostat is a device that is used to switch the heating system in your home
on and off as needed. It works by sensing the air temperature and switching on
the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and
switching it off once the set temperature has been reached.
The RT100 from Salus Controls is a stylish and accurate mechanical thermostat
with a large, easy to adjust setting dial. The thermostat has been specifically
designed to be used Volt Free.
Features
•Simple to use
•Large dial
•Stylish Casing
•Volt Free contacts
•Two wire installation
•Temperature range between 10 ºC and 30 ºC
OPERATION
The RT100 is adjusted very easily by turning the rotary dial on the front of the
thermostat to the required temperature setting.
To adjust the set temperature, turn the rotary dial to the left to set a lower
temperature, or to the right to set a higher temperature.

INSTALLATION
Please read the important safety information at the start of this manual before
you begin to install the thermostat.
Location
The ideal position to locate the RT100 thermostat is about 1.5m
above floor level, in a location where the thermostat is accessible,
reasonably lit and free from extremes of temperature and draughts.
Do not mount the thermostat on an outside wall, above a radiator
or in a location where it may be subjected to direct sunlight.
The RT100 can be mounted onto a back box, pattress or directly to
the wall.
Preparing for Installation
The electrical connections to the RT100 are made inside the
case. To gain access to the wiring terminals, first remove the
setting dial by gently pulling it forwards. After removing the
dial, undo the case securing screw with a small crosshead
screwdriver; you will now be able to pull the case forwards to
remove it.
Preparing for Electrical Connection
After passing the wiring through the cable entry point, the
RT100 can be secured into position by the use of two screws.
The terminals in the RT100 will accept conductor sizes
between 0.5 mm2 – 1.5 mm2, and the cable ends should be
stripped of no more than 8mm of insulation.

REASSEMBLING THE THERMOSTAT
Reassembly of the RT100 is very straightforward; just a reversal of the steps
taken earlier. Refit the cover and secure with the securing screw, and refit the
setting dial: do not force the dial - it will only locate in one position.
Do not remove or refit the cover of the RT100 without the mains supply
to the system being isolated.

ENERGY TIP
One way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature
setting that you are comfortable with, and then leave it set at this temperature.
You can do this by setting the room thermostat to a low temperature, (for
example 17 °C) and then increasing the setting by one degree each day until
you are comfortable with the room temperature - you won’t have to adjust the
thermostat further, as adjustment above this setting will waste energy - a 1 °C
increase in temperature is equal to 3% of your heating costs.
MAINTENANCE
TThe RT100 thermostat requires no special maintenance. Periodically, the outer
casing can be wiped clean using a dry cloth (please DO NOT use solvents,
polishes, detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the thermostat).
There are no user serviceable parts within the unit; any servicing or repairs
should only be carried out by Salus Controls or their appointed agents.
Should the RT100 thermostat fail to function correctly, check:
• The RT100 temperature has been set correctly.
• Heating system time switch or programmer is switched on.
