RT500ROF INSTRUCTION MANUAL

ENERGY TIP

One way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowest
temperature setting that you are comfortable with, and then leave it set at
this temperature. You can do this by setting the room thermostat to a low
temperature, (for example 17 °C) and then increasing the setting by one
degree each day until you are comfortable with the room temperature - you
won’t have to adjust the thermostat further, as adjustment above this setting
will waste energy - a 1 °C increase in temperature is equal to 3% of your
heating costs. Additionally use the OTO when leaving the property.

MAINTENANCE

The RT500ROF requires no special maintenance. Periodically, the outer
casing of all components can be wiped clean using a dry cloth (please DO
NOT use solvents, polishes, detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can
damage the thermostat).

There are no user serviceable parts within the units; any servicing or repairs
should only be carried out by SALUS Controls or their appointed agents.

Should the RT500 programmable thermostat fail to function correctly,
check:

The RT500 or One Touch Override batteries are the correct type, 
fitted correctly and are not exhausted - fit new batteries if in doubt.

Heating system is switched on.

The RT500 Receiver is switched on.

If the RT500 is still not functioning correctly, press the Reset Button.
