Do not dispose of the device with regular domestic waste!

Electronic equipment must be disposed of at local collection points for waste electronic equipment 

in compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. Before disposing of the 

device, remove the batteries from the device.

Used batteries should not be disposed of with regular domestic waste! Instead, take them to 

your local battery disposal point.

In the initial state, the batteries are already inserted. 

Simply remove the insulation strip to activate the device. 

To replace the batteries, please proceed as follows:

•  Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the battery compart-

ment cover on both sides with your fingers and remove the cover by pushing 

it downwards.

•  Insert 2 new LR6 (mignon/AA) batteries in the battery compartment, making 

sure they are the right way round.

•  Reattach the battery compartment cover and latch it into place.

The battery symbol (

) on the display indicates that the batteries need 

to be replaced. After removing the empty batteries, wait approx. 1 minute 

before inserting the new ones. This device does not support operation with rechargeable batteries.

Caution! Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equi-

valent type. Batteries must never be charged. Do not throw batteries into fire. Do not expose batteries 

to excessive heat. Do not short-circuit batteries. There is a risk of explosion!

Leaking or damaged batteries can cause chemical burns if they come into contact with the skin, so 

use suitable protective gloves in this case.

After inserting the batteries, the date and time is automatically requested after display of the firmware versi-

on number and short motor run (“InS”).

•  Set the year, month, day, hour and minute with the control wheel (

F

) and confirm by pressing the control 

wheel briefly.

You can adjust the time and date in the menu under “dAt”.

The motor moves the control pin backwards during the setting of date and time.

•  If “InS” and the rotating activity symbol “

” are displayed, the motor still reverses.  

When only “InS” is shown in the display, the radiator thermostat can be installed on the valve.

•  The week program and date can be adjusted before installation. Press the Mode/Menu button, while 

“InS” is shown in the display. You will find further information in chapter “13. Setting the week pro-

gram”.

•  After the programming has been completed, “InS” is shown again in the display  

and installation can take place.

The radiator thermostat is easy to install, and can be done without draining heating water or intervening in the 

heating system. No special tools are required, nor does the heating have to be switched off. 

The snap-on fastening of the radiator thermostat can be used universally and with the mounting ring VA80 for 

valves of the most popular manufacturers with a thread size of M30 x 1.5 mm.

By means of the adapters supplied, the device can be installed on radiator valves of type Danfoss RA, RAV 

and RAVL.

•  Rotate the old thermostat dial to the maximum value (anti-clockwise). The thermostat dial then no 

longer presses against the valve spigot, making it easier to remove.

•  Remove the thermostat head.

•  If required, place one of the supplied adapters.

The adapting run starts afterwards (see sec. “11. Mounting and adapting run”).

The provided adapters (RA, RAV and RAVL) can be used for installation on Danfoss valves. The arrangement 

of the suitable adapter ring for the appropriate valve can be found in the following figures.

The 

RA

 and 

RAV

 adapters have been manufactured with pre-tension in order to provide a better seat. Use a 

screwdriver during installation if necessary, and bend it open slightly in the vicinity of the screw. After clipping 

onto the valve body, please attach the adapter using the provided screw and nut.

The spigot extension (I) must be fitted to the valve pin of RAV valves prior to installation.

The adapter RAVL does not have to be screwed. Fit the short spigot extension (I) on the valve pin before ins-

tallation. You can simply break off the spigot extension connected to the adapter.

The Danfoss valve bodies have elongated notches (J) around their circumference, which also ensu-

re that the adapter is properly seated when it snaps on. During installation, please ensure that the 

pins inside the adapter (K) are lined up with the notches (J) on the valve. Ensure that the adapter is 

properly clipped on.

Take care during installation that you do not trap your fingers between the two

the snap-on connector engages properly. For the precise ad-

justment of the radiator thermostat turn the thermostat with 

the mounting ring.

•  Press the control wheel briefly when “InS” is displayed.

It is now that the radiator thermostat performs an adapting run. 

“AdA” and the activity symbol (

) are displayed; during this time, 

operation is not possible. The adapting run can be can cancelled by 

pressing the control wheel briefly.

If the adapting run has been initiated prior to mounting, ple-

ase press the control wheel briefly and the motor reserves 

to the “InS” position. If an error message (F1, F2, F3) is dis-

played, the motor similarly travels back to the “InS” position.
