1. Introduction

1.1 Product Compliance

This product complies with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directives 2014/53/EU and 2011/65/EU. The full text of the EU Declaration of Conformity is available at the following internet address: www.saluslegal.com.

1.2 Safety Informations

• Before starting installation work and before using the product, read the entire manual.
• The information contained in the instructions is essential for proper functioning.
• To avoid accidents resulting in personal injury and material damage, please follow all safety precautions specified in this manual.
• The device should not be used by people with limited mental, sensory or mental abilities, without experience, or insufficient knowledge, as well as children.
• Do not use an unassembled device (e.g., without a cover).
• The device may only be opened by a qualified person.
• Keep electrical devices out of the reach of children and ensure they do not play with them. Children should not be left unattended. If necessary, disconnect the control system for the entire room.
• Do not leave the packaging, cabinet, or any loose parts of the device unattended, as they pose a risk to children.

WARNING! Installation must be carried out by a qualified person with appropriate electrical qualifications in accordance with standards and regulations in force in the given country and in the EU.

WARNING! Never try to connect the device other than as described in the manual. Before assembly, repair, or maintenance, as well as during any connection works, it is absolutely necessary to disconnect the mains supply and ensure that the terminals and electric wires are not live. The device may not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibrations, or subjected to mechanical shock. The device should not be used in unfavorable environmental conditions or in rooms where there is a concentration of flammable gases, fumes, or dust.

WARNING! There may be additional protection requirements for the entire installation that the installer is responsible for maintaining.

Care for the natural environment is of paramount importance. The awareness that we manufacture electronic devices obliges us to dispose of used electronic components and devices safely. Therefore, the company has received a registration number issued by the Chief Inspector for Environmental Protection. The crossed-out trash can symbol on the product means that the product must not be disposed of with ordinary waste containers. Sorting waste for recycling helps to protect the environment. It is the user's responsibility to surrender used equipment to a designated collection point for recycling waste from electrical and electronic equipment.

2. Product Overview

The RT510RF wireless room thermostat switches the heating system on and off as necessary by sensing the air temperature. It turns the heating on when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting and off once this set temperature is reached.

Turning the thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up faster; heating speed depends on the system design (e.g., boiler and radiator size). Similarly, it does not affect cooling speed. A lower setting results in a lower controlled temperature and saves energy.

The heating system will not work if a time switch or programmer has turned it off.

To best use the thermostat, find the lowest comfortable temperature setting and leave it. Start with a low temperature (e.g., 18°C) and increase it by one degree daily until comfortable. Further adjustments waste energy.

If your heating system uses a boiler with radiators, a single thermostat usually controls the whole house. For different temperatures in individual rooms, install thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs). If TRVs are not used, choose a reasonable temperature for the whole house. If TRVs are installed, set a slightly higher temperature to ensure the coldest room is comfortable, then adjust TRVs to prevent overheating in other rooms.

Room thermostats require a free flow of air to sense temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps can interfere with proper operation.

Product advantages:

• Factory-paired and ready to work.
• Features a TPI control algorithm.
• Automatically repeats the signal.
• Works according to time schedules.
• Includes a frost protection mode (temperature range 5 - 17 degrees).
• Provides correction of the displayed temperature ± 3°C.
• Has HOLIDAY and SLEEP modes (suspending function, e.g., outside heating season).
• Uses unique transmission codes.
• Operates at 868 MHz for a stable and noise-resistant signal.

[Description of image showing the thermostat, receiver, batteries, short instruction leaflet, and mounting screws.]

2.2 Proper Thermostat Location

Please note: The ideal position for thermostat mounting is approximately 1.5m above floor level, away from heating or cooling sources. The thermostat should not be exposed to sunlight or extreme conditions like drafts. Due to fire and explosion risks, the thermostat must not be used in atmospheres containing explosive gases or flammable liquids (e.g., coal dust). If such dangers are present, additional protective measures like a tight cover for dust and explosive gases are required, or their formation must be prevented. Furthermore, the thermostat cannot be used in conditions with water vapor condensation or be exposed to water.

[Description of diagram showing correct and incorrect thermostat placement relative to a door, window, and radiator, with dimensions like 'min 20 cm' and '150 cm'. The diagram indicates a minimum distance of 20 cm from a door and 150 cm from a radiator or heat source.]

3. RXRT510 Receiver

The thermostat communicates wirelessly with the RXRT510 receiver. The receiver is supplied with 230VAC and has a maximum load of 16A. Avoid installing it in places directly exposed to water, moisture, or air condensation. The RXRT510 receiver can operate in two modes: AUTO (automatic) and MANUAL (manual). Mode selection is done via switches on the front of the receiver.

3.1 Receiver's Switches Description

[Description of the receiver with numbered switches on the front.]

REMEMBER!: For the receiver to work with the thermostat, set the switches to the ON / AUTO position.

8. RT510TX Thermostat Pairing with the Receiver

PAIRING synchronizes the transmitter with the receiver if it has been removed. WARNING! The RT510RF thermostat is factory paired with the receiver.

To re-pair devices, first prepare the receiver:

[Description of 8-step image sequence for pairing: 1. Ensure receiver is disconnected, switches in AUTO/ON. 2. Connect receiver to power, wait for solid red LED. 3. Move top switch OFF then back to ON. 4. Red LED blinks (pairing mode). 5. Press and hold [TEST/PAIRING button] for 3 seconds. 6. Thermostat starts pairing (up to 10 min). 7. Solid red LED on receiver indicates successful pairing. 8. Press and hold [TEST/PAIRING button] for 3 seconds to end.]

The thermostat returns to the main screen upon successful pairing.

9. Test the Pairing Process

Place receiver and transmitter where radio signal is not interfered with. Range is up to 60m in open areas. Factors like thick walls, metal objects, and interference can shorten range. Test transmission before wall mounting by changing the set temperature.

[Description of 5-step image sequence for testing pairing: 1. Press [TEST/PAIRING button] to check connection. 2. Antenna icon [Antenna icon] displayed (test mode up to 9 min). 3.
