Getting Started
Inserting/Replacing Batteries
Open the battery compartment on the back of the temperature controller and insert two batteries of type AAA/micro observing the correct polarity (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/-).
All display segments appear briefly, then the digital clock starts and the first measurement value for temperature and humidity is shown on the right in the display.
Close the battery compartment again.
The battery needs to be replaced when the display contrast is reduced considerably. The programmed data is preserved when the battery is replaced; you only need to set the time again.
It is possible to operate the temperature controller with rechargeable batteries. However, the operating time and the display contrast, are greatly reduced due to the lower voltage (battery = 1.5 V, rechargeable battery = 1.2 V). We therefore recommend to use only high-quality alkaline batteries instead of rechargeable batteries.

Selecting the Operating Mode ("AUTO", "MANU", "CANCEL")
If the temperature controller is not in a setting mode, you can select the operating mode by briefly pressing the "FUNC" button.
Operating mode "AUTO"
The temperature controller maintains the temperature automatically according to the settings made for times/weekdays in the 8 programmes "PROG1" to "PROG8".
Operating mode "MANU"
The temperature controller maintains the temperature after activation of this operating mode for a duration of 24 hours and then changes back to automatic operation.
Operating mode "CANCEL"
The temperature controller is deactivated; a switching process is not executed.
Registering a Receiver for the Temperature Controller
The temperature controller can control a receiver of the RS2W radio switch system (e.g. a radio switch socket that is part of the system). Other receivers cannot be used.
Follow the operating instructions of the receiver of the RS2W radio switch system that will be used prior to the registration procedure.
A dimmer of the RS2W radio switch system cannot be used.
During the registration process, maintain a 20 - 30 cm minimum distance between the temperature controller and the receiver. Failing to do this may result in a registration failure.
- If the receiver is switched on, switch it off for the moment.
- The receiver (e.g. a radio switch socket) must be switched off (LED in the button is off); otherwise, registration cannot be done.
- Start the registration procedure at the temperature controller.
- Repeatedly press the "FUNC" button briefly until "CANCEL" appears on the left in the display.
- Hold the "+/ON" button pressed for 2 seconds until the two arrows in the "➔" symbol flash alternately. Then release the button.
The temperature controller is now ready to register the receiver.
- Hold the button on the receiver pressed (approx. 3 seconds) until the two arrows in the "➔" symbol on the temperature controller stop flashing.
- The receiver switches on to indicate the end of the registration process.
Only one receiver can be registered at the temperature controller (a receiver of the RS2W radio switch system, but not a dimmer).
If you start a new registration procedure and register another receiver of the RS2W radio switch system, the receiver registered previously will be deleted/overwritten.
Deleting a Registered Receiver
If the receiver is registered at the temperature controller, proceed as follows:
- Start the registration procedure at the temperature controller.
- Repeatedly press the "FUNC" button briefly until "CANCEL" appears on the left in the display.
- Hold the "+/ON" button pressed for 2 seconds until the two arrows in the "➔" symbol flash alternately. Then release the button.
Hold the "+/ON" button pressed again for 2 seconds and the registered receiver will be deleted; the right part of the "➔" symbol and the two arrows disappear.
Feedback On the Switching Process
A special feature of the RS2W radio switch system, to which the temperature controller belongs, is that it provides feedback on the successful (or unsuccessful) switching process.
The receiver sends information about reception and execution of the switching process back to the sender. In this way, you can always see if the radio receiver (e.g. a radio switch socket) has executed the switching command or not.
The temperature controller indicates this with double arrows:
- "➔➔" Switching process successful, feedback received
- "➔" No feedback received from the receiver
A reason for missing feedback could be interferences at the same frequency, unfavourable reception conditions or similar (see next chapter "Range") or the receiver is not connected to the mains.
Installation/Positioning Of the Temperature Controller
The temperature controller can be hung from a nail, hook or screw in a wall, using an opening on the back.
Alternatively, unfold the mounting foot at the back and position the temperature controller on a level, stable surface. Protect valuable furniture surfaces by using a suitable mat to prevent scratch marks.
For operation, choose a place that is not directly exposed to the sun and not located close to a radiator. This will result in an erroneous temperature or humidity display as well as to an erroneous control of the heating or cooling device connected to the receiver.
Range
The transmission range of the radio signals between the temperature controller and the receiver is up to 150 m under optimum conditions.
This value, however, is the so-called "open space range" (the range when transmitter and receiver are in line of sight, without any interference).
In practice, however, there may be walls, room ceilings, etc. between the transmitter and the receiver, which will reduce the range accordingly.
Due to the different influences on the radio transmission, no specific range can be guaranteed. However, trouble-free operation is usually possible in a single family house.
Sometimes the range can be considerably reduced due to:
- Walls, reinforced concrete floors, drywall walls with metal frame construction
- Coated/metallised insulated glass
- Proximity to metallic & conductive objects (e.g., heating elements)
- Proximity to human bodies
- Other devices on the same frequency (e.g. wireless headphones, wireless speakers)
- Proximity to electric motors/appliances, transformers, power supplies, computers
Care and Cleaning
- The product does not require any maintenance by the user; do not open/disassemble it (except for replacing the batteries). Repair or maintenance work must be carried out by a specialist.
- Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
- You can use a clean, dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Dust can be very easily removed with a soft, clean brush and a vacuum cleaner.
- Do not press on the display, it could be damaged.
