3ST325TX INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
A thermostat is a transmitter 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 ST325TX from
SALUS Controls is a stylish and accurate electronic
thermostat with a large, easy to read LCD display. The
thermostat provides the user interface and
temperature sensing / control. The thermostat and
receiver are linked together by a Radio Frequency (RF)
signal. The use of the revolutionary Touch Ring
technology makes for simple usage, and is coupled
with a unique, smart design. The LCD display will
show the current room temperature and the ‘one
touch’ operation makes the ST325TX easy to operate.

•Touch Ring Technology
•Large LCD with white backlight
•Stylish Casing
•Intelligent Communication Technology

INSTALLING AND REPLACING BATTERIES
Installing or replacing the ST325TX thermostat batteries is a
straightforward operation, but does require you to open the case
of the thermostat.
To open the ST325TX case, undo the securing screw on the bottom
of the case (just to the right of the hole for the Reset Button):
After undoing the screw pull it forward until the screw stops
moving, then carefully separate the two halves of the case by
gently pulling in an upwards direction. Once the case has been
separated, the batteries should be visible:
Ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly, paying careful
attention to the polarity markings on the battery and next to the
battery holders. After inserting the batteries, refit the ST325TX case
and retighten the securing screw.
INSTALLATION
Please read the important safety information at the start of this manual
before you start to install the device.
The ideal position to locate the thermostat is about 1.5m above floor
level. It should be mounted 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.
To ensure trouble free operation of the Radio Frequency (RF) signal, always ensure that the
programmable thermostat is mounted away from any possible sources of interference (such
as radios, TV sets, computers, etc.), and is not mounted on or in close proximity to large metal
objects. Installing the ST325TX in enclosed areas such as cellars and basements is not
recommended.

Pressing the reset button on the thermostat and the receiver (RXST625 only) will clear the
RF address code and generate a new default code which will be saved into the internal
memory of the unit; there is no need to re-pair the receiver and thermostat. This is a quick
and easy way to directly link the units in many applications.
Replacing the thermostat batteries will not affect the RF code setting. Pressing and holding
the SYNC button on the receiver will however clear the RF address code saved into the
internal memory, and switch the receiver into learning mode, as previously described.
AFTER INSTALLATION
After completing installation and powering up the ST325TX for the first
time the programmable thermostat will behave in the following way:
All the indicators on the display and the backlight will be turned on.
After two seconds, the display will change to show the currently
installed firmware version.
The ST325TX will then operate in NORMAL mode and display the
current room temperature.
All programmable thermostat settings will have been returned to
default values.
If the Reset Button is pressed, the ST325TX will behave in the same way
as described above, except that any previously saved user settings
stored in the internal memory will be deleted and overwritten with the

ST325TX INSTRUCTION MANUAL16
ST325TX Manual Version BLUE_Layout 1 12/03/2014 14:27 Page 16

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
The ST325TX 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 ST325TX thermostat fail to function correctly, check:
•Thermostat batteries are the correct type, fitted correctly and are
not exhausted - fit new batteries if in doubt.
•If fitted, the heating system time switch or programmer is switched on.
•If the ST325TX is still not functioning correctly, press the Reset Button.
