3. Setup

3.1. Installation

The RTP-04 is designed for flush-mounted installation within a standard 60 mm flush-mounted box. Ensure all electrical connections are made by a qualified electrician in accordance with local wiring regulations.

• Turn off the main power supply before beginning installation.
• Mount the controller securely into the flush-mounted box.
• Connect the power supply, heating element, and external floor sensor (if used) to the appropriate terminals as indicated in the wiring diagram (refer to the full wiring diagram provided in the product packaging).
• Secure the front panel and restore power.

3.2. Initial Power-On

Upon first power-on, the display will illuminate. You may need to set the current time and date before proceeding with programming.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Display Information

The LCD display shows the current room temperature, the set temperature, the current time, and the active operating program. A small thermometer icon indicates the sensor currently in use (internal or external).

4.2. Button Functions

4.3. Programming Modes

The RTP-04 offers flexible programming with 5+2 and 6+1 modes, allowing you to set different temperature schedules for weekdays and weekends, or for a single weekend day. Each mode supports up to 6 time intervals per day.

• 5+2 Mode: Allows one schedule for Monday-Friday and a separate schedule for Saturday-Sunday.
• 6+1 Mode: Allows one schedule for Monday-Saturday and a separate schedule for Sunday.
• Setting Intervals: Use the 'M' button to enter programming mode, then use the arrow buttons to adjust time and temperature for each interval. Confirm settings to save.

4.4. Temperature Regulation

The controller can regulate temperature based on an internal sensor, an external floor sensor, or both. The floor temperature limiting function prevents the floor from overheating, protecting both the heating system and the floor covering.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the display and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Sensor Care: Ensure the external floor sensor (if installed) is free from obstructions and debris to ensure accurate readings.
• No User-Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself. Refer to qualified service personnel for any repairs.

6. Troubleshooting

• Display Not Working: Check the main power supply. Ensure the controller is properly installed and connected.
• Incorrect Temperature Reading: Verify that the sensor is correctly connected and not damaged. Ensure the sensor is placed appropriately for accurate measurement.
• Heating Not Activating: Check the set temperature to ensure it is above the current room temperature. Verify the operating mode and schedule. Ensure the heating element is functioning correctly.
• Programming Issues: Refer to the detailed programming instructions in the full user manual. Ensure all steps are followed correctly.

If problems persist, contact ZAMEL customer support or a qualified technician.
