Installation
Important: Ensure the main power supply to your heating/air conditioning system is disconnected before proceeding with installation. This prevents potential electrical hazards. Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional.
Thermostat Placement
The location of the thermostat significantly impacts its performance. Choose a room where family members spend most of their time. Ideally, place it on an interior wall where air circulates freely and away from direct sunlight. Avoid placing the thermostat near heat sources (e.g., televisions, radiators, refrigerators) or near a door (due to frequent shocks or vibrations). Failure to follow these recommendations may result in inaccurate temperature control.
Transmitter Installation
The transmitter can be mounted on the provided stand or directly on a wall.
- Remove the rear cover of the transmitter.
- Mark the positions for the mounting holes on the wall.
- Drill two holes, carefully insert the plastic wall plugs, and use two screws to secure the rear cover to the wall.
- Complete the installation by attaching the transmitter unit onto the fixed rear cover.
Receiver Installation
The receiver unit is typically mounted near the heating system.
- Remove the front cover of the receiver. Use a screwdriver to press and hold the inner lock, then remove the front cover.
- Mark the positions for the mounting holes on the wall.
- Drill two holes, carefully insert the plastic wall plugs, and use two screws to secure the rear cover of the receiver to the wall.
- Connect the wires to the labeled terminals according to the appropriate wiring diagram for your heating system.
- Complete the installation by attaching the receiver unit onto the fixed rear cover.

- Normally Closed (NC) contact
- Common (COM) switching contact
- 230 V AC electrical connection (L - Live, N - Neutral)
- Pump/Motorized Valve Wiring Diagram
- Floor Heating Wiring Diagram
- Boiler Wiring Diagram
- Electric Actuator Wiring Diagram
- OpenTherm Connection (OT terminals)
Setup
Initial Power-Up
- Remove the front cover of the transmitter.
- Insert 2 x 1.5V AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment. Do not use 1.2V rechargeable batteries as they may cause incorrect low battery indications.
- Inserting the batteries will power on the thermostat and activate the display. If the thermostat does not function correctly, check the battery polarity and charge level.
- If the heating/air conditioning system will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to switch off the receiver unit (move the main switch to the '0' position).
Pairing Units (Transmitter and Receiver)
- Turn on the receiver by pressing the ON/OFF button on the left side of the receiver.
- Press and hold the M/A button on the receiver for 10 seconds until a green LED starts flashing on the receiver.
- On the transmitter, move the slider to the OFF position. Then, press and hold the 'H' and 'A' buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the green LED on the receiver stops flashing.
- The units are now paired, and the pairing icon will be displayed on the transmitter.
- If pairing fails, a different icon will be displayed. To change the pairing code, repeat the entire pairing procedure from step 1; the pairing code will be automatically overwritten.
- If the thermostat is not working correctly after pairing, verify battery polarity and charge, or reset the thermostat by removing and reinserting the batteries.
Wireless Communication Test
- Set a temperature on the transmitter several degrees higher than the current room temperature.
- The red LED on the receiver unit should illuminate, indicating that the relay is switched on.
- If the LED does not light up, move the transmitter closer to the receiver unit. The maximum range between the control unit and the switching unit is 80 meters in open space. This range may decrease indoors due to walls and other obstacles.

Programming
Factory Pre-set Programs
This programmable indoor thermostat is designed for ease of use, with factory pre-set times and temperatures suitable for most users. These programs divide the day into 6 periods. If you wish to use a factory pre-set program, simply move the slider on the transmitter to the AUTO position to activate automatic mode.
User-Adjustable Programming
You can customize the heating schedule to fit your specific needs. The thermostat allows for 6 temperature changes per day. You can set different programs for weekdays and weekends, or individual days.
When modifying programs, be aware that changing the start time of the first program period (P1) will shift the subsequent program period times accordingly, but the total number of 6 periods remains fixed.
Refer to the detailed instruction manual (often available online from the manufacturer's website) for step-by-step guidance on setting custom programs, including time and temperature adjustments for each period.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Thermostat not working / Display off | Check battery polarity and charge level in the transmitter. Replace batteries if low. Ensure the receiver is powered on. Try resetting the thermostat by removing and reinserting batteries. |
| Units not pairing / Communication issues | Ensure both units are in pairing mode as described in the 'Pairing Units' section. Reduce the distance between the transmitter and receiver. Obstacles like thick walls can reduce wireless range. Repeat the pairing procedure. |
| Inaccurate temperature reading | Ensure the thermostat is not placed near heat sources, direct sunlight, or drafts. The temperature sensor may be slow to react; allow time for it to stabilize. The display temperature can be calibrated if necessary (refer to detailed manual). |
| Low battery warning appears frequently | Ensure you are using 1.5V alkaline batteries. This thermostat is not compatible with 1.2V rechargeable batteries, which can trigger false low battery warnings. |
| Cannot maintain set temperature in manual mode | Some users have reported this. Ensure the thermostat is not switching back to a programmed mode. Verify settings in the detailed manual. |
| Display beep is too loud / cannot be turned off | This is a known characteristic of the device and cannot be adjusted. |
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the low battery indicator appears on the transmitter display, replace the 2 x AA batteries promptly. Use only 1.5V alkaline batteries. Do not use 1.2V rechargeable batteries.
Cleaning
To clean the thermostat, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical agents, as these can damage the device.
