A quick how to set the program on this salus thermostat
It’s easy to set and common sense if you have used a programmable thermostat before - Комедії
I read the whole comments to try to sort out this incredibly complicated wireless thermostat. Some problems keep coming up. Here was my solution:
1. The thermostat has no effect on the hot water supply. That should be controlled by the boiler. Turn the tap on and hot water comes out no matter what the time
2. Programmed timings, on and off:
a) There are 6 time settings per day built into the thermostat. You can program these individually for each day, or together for weekdays and weekends, or for all 7 days taken together. I did mine for all 7 at once; you can use the same method for the individual days, or for weekend (days 6 and 7) or for weekday (days 1 to 5)
b). Basically, for each of the 6 time settings, when the clock gets to the set time, the thermostat tells the boiler to heat the house to whatever temperature you set for that time. There is no "heating off" setting. so for example I want my house off from midnight to 0800, 14 degrees 0800-1000, off 1000 to 1800, 16 degrees 1800 to midnight. So I set program 1 to start at 0000 for the minimum temperature (5 degrees), prog2 to start 0800 at 14 degrees, prog3 to start 1000 at minimum, prog4 to 1800 at 16, prog5 for as late as I can at minimum, prog6 also late as I can to minimum. I had some problems setting progs 5 and 6 so eventually I set prog6 to 2359 and prog5 to 2358. That means my heating is min 5 degrees which is fine by me as I use it to protect against frozen pipes
3. If you press the manual mode button the hand image shows and the system runs at some higher temperature (which you can control with the up and down buttons). I*think* it stays that way until the next programmed time comes round when it reverts to the program. The manual says you can turn manual mode off by pressing the button again, or by pressing and holding it. **I couldn't do this, but** i found that if you press and hold the menu button for three seconds or more the hand goes and the system reverts to programmed mode. this also removes boost mode
4. Don't ask me about boost mode - I haven't worked it out yet!
5. The wifi comms icon (image 11 in the manual) only comes on when the thermostat is communicating with the receiver. This happens when it is pairing or testing pairing, and when it has to send a message to the receiver. So it flashes on for just a short period - second or so - shortly after a program change or when you use the manual or boost button or do a temperature change. Test it that way but don't be worried if it isn't on at other times
6. Many boilers have a switch on them attached to a clock. The switch has three positions: "off", "clock", and "on". " Off" turns the central heating boiler off completely independently of the thermostat. The clock position links to a system of mechanical tags which also switch "on" or "off" depending on the clock time. This was how boilers were controlled before thermostats were invented - the clock controls the timing but can't control the temperature. The receiver unit for the Salus controller is connected to the clock so it only controls the system when either the three position switch is "on", or when the three position switch is set to "clock" AND the clock tags are set to "on". I have set my boiler clock tags to be "on" 0730 to 1000 and 1730 to 0000, "off" at other times. This means that outside these times my central heating is off irrespective of what the thermostat and receiver are doing. Within those times the heating is controlled by the thermostat. I recommend this as a safety precaution in case you misprogram the thermostat and have your boiler using your expensive gas when it shouldn't be. But bear in mind that boost will only work when the boiler clock has the thermostat active, and any change of timings on the thermostat may mean you need to change the boiler clock settings too
Hope this is useful
I reconend a set back or. Min temp of 14 at nigjt. And leabing the unit set to auto.
@@timeintheuk - that's probably reasonable. I'm a bit paranoid about fuel costs so I've kept all things low/off when I can - like the house was at 12 degrees this morning but my set temps were 5 degrees at 0900 and 10 at 1000 so of course the boiler didn't come on at all. I'll raise it slowly and keep an eye on the gas meter figure. I also have to build confidence in the control and my understanding of how it works. But the guide is truly awful - doesn't say anything about boost and manual except that they exist! I think I've worked out that boost gives you one hour per push and takes the temp minimum to whatever you set it to as a one-off change to the regular pattern. The manual mode still doesn't turn off on as described - could the instructions be wrong, or the programming of the internals have been changed after the guide was written?
Keeping your house a bit warm saves energy when u want to heat more. Keeps the boiler output lower
Thanks for help earlier. I have set it to all the settings you said and it came on at 4pm but went off before 7pm. How do I get rid of the programmes that are there for 8 and 9pm?
Hi time and temp ... not on and off. So you set the time you want say 9am and the temp you want say 20 deg . For example you want 20 degrees at 9 throu 10 am . So set the next one to 10 am 14 degrees . That leaves spare slots at 2 6 and 10 but you want the heating off so simply set all 3 to 14 degrees . . Simply think what temp at what times and chop the day up into chunks
Thanks for this! I have followed the steps to set up a 5:2 schedule but it doesn’t seem to come on? If they’re something specific I need to press to ensure it follows the schedule. When my Home Screen appears for example it doesn’t say anything in the bottom left corner during a time when a programme should be on? Thanks
Is there a hand shown on the screen put simply the hand turns off timings. Also check recener is set to auto and green light is comming on
Hi there can you please tell me how to use the add hour function. Does that add an hour after finish time? Or can I use it to put the heating on an hour before the set time. Sometimes I just want to have heating on an hour earlier without disturbing the st programmes. Thanks.
Honestly I've not worked that one out
Hi @time on my hands, thanks a lot for the vid. In the absence of a proper manual, this has been the best source of help. I’m trying to find out ‘work-arounds’ to try to get this device to do what I want it to. For example, to turn it off for an extended period over summer (or for a weekend away) would it be possible/advisable to turn it permanently to manual by pressing the hand icon on the controller, and reducing the temp to something like 5 degrees, then just switching manual mode off at the end of summer when I want the heating on again? Since my receiver is in the garage with the boiler, it is not easily accessible. This would be a lot easier than having to set holiday mode every weekend I want to ensure the heating stays off. Also, have you any idea how to use the ‘+Hr’ function? Thanks in anticipation!
Plus 1 hour I'm not sure if it extends the current prog by 1 hour or brings next one on an hour early. Have fun finding out
Turn to say 10 on manual if your home goes below that during summer it's cold outside. Then pop back to timed using button 6 when u want times
@@timeintheuk Hi, I mentioned I'd let you know if I found out the answer to this. I spoke to Salus, whose agent seemed to want rid of me as soon as possible, so not very helpful to be honest, but she did tell me (1) that the +Hr button is to extend a current heating cycle by however many hours you select using the up arrow after selecting this mode. To de-activate it, press the +Hr button again and the controller should revert to whichever programme is normally active at that time. (2) Summer time - if you want to switch the system off for summer but don't have easy access to the slider controls on the receiver, you can select manual mode followed by a suitably low temperature and the system will remain off unless the selected low temp is reached. Manual mode stays on until the user switches it off; it will not be over-ridden by the next timed programme kicking in. (3) the 520TX does not have frost protection mode - I suppose you would just set the temperature to 5 degrees or so. I had a lot more questions, but this was the key info I wanted. They would have made it a lot easier by having all the controls on the control device instead of having some of them on the receiver. She did tell me that they are currently writing a load of instruction manuals and that they will appear on the website in due course. Sounds a bit like the cart pushing the horse if you ask me, but that's what I was told! Thanks again to @time in the uk for the video and advice.
Thanks for this helpful video. Can you advise what the Manual button is used for and how to turn it off?
The manual button brings the heating on and stays on . Use the off button if you want the heating off long term . These buttons are located on the receiver. Not the transmitter / head unit
To turn off manual function . Move back to auto.
To boost heating for a short while raise the temp with the up arrow and press the tick
Hi there how do you turn the heating off without disturbing programming. Example when you get a hot day out the blue.
Have tried sliding the green slider but did not work. Obviously because it is pre programmed.
Hope you can help as you have done before! Thanks Jeananne
down arrow to below room temp and tick
Hi, I have set the schedule as suggested in your previous comment and put the switch in auto but the flame is not on the display and the green light is no on. How do I fix it? Was working this morning then I moved the switch to manual now it won't go back on auto. Thanks
showing the hand symbol ? whats the room temp ? whats the current target temp ? have you turned below room temperature let 30 seconds and repeated . ? red light on ?
Hi there, I watched your video and was trying to figure out the override functions (if there are any) for:
1) How to adjust the temperature manually
2) How to turn the heating on and off manually
3) How to turn the hot water on and off manually & set temperature for that
If you're able to do a video demo that would be fantastic, but I know that's being a bit cheeky.
Thank you 👍🏾
I will respond in reverse order q 3 this unit has nothing to do with the hot water
Over ride or bost up and down use up down arrows and tick. Or hit button 6 manual mode and select 5 or 10 degrees and your heating will only come on of below 5 or 10 degrees. Other temp can be selected
I've done a few vids on this one and I've defo covered the issues you mentioned. Hope that helps
Hi I’ve followed all your comments and I have now hopefully got it sorted at last but no it still doesn’t turn on when it’s meant to abs it also flashed optimise when it likes. I’ve tried turning it off but it’s still on? Am I being really stupid?
Prob your best bet if I'm honest is to call salus tomorrow am. If your unit is faulty it has a 5 year warenty and they will post out another
Hi i wonder if you know how to stop the radiators coming on when not needed i do have it programmed
Check your settings and adjust time and temp.you can boost down this will turn ur rads off ..you can also lower the flow temp on ur boiler say 65 if u have a water cylinder
50 if a combi
Hi, very useful video. I have the exact thermostate and receiver. My question is how do i turn the heating on/off manually ? Is it from the thermostate or receiver ? Thanks
You have 2 ways first is to simply go to the receiver if yours is RF and turn this off for the summer
To turn heating on to constant from the RF receiver pop it into man and it will keep going untill you pop it out .
Second way is to boost the required temp up or down let's say your home is at 18 Deg . Hit the up arrow and go to 20 then press tick the thermostat will then bring your home up to 20
Or if your at 18 and it's to hot . Press the down arrow and select 17 and then the tick and the boiler should go off
I hope this is clear thanks for the comments
Can I override all functions and just get the central heating on. Its freezing 🥶 in the house
On the recever next to boiler slide bottom slider from auto to manual. The heating will be on ( if boilers working) untill u turn it off. If the green and red lights are on look for a boiler fault if you have no heating
Great video. Thank you for posting. Do you know anything about wiring the receiver to the boiler?
Yes very easy to wire . But you need to know what your doing
@@timeintheuk
I'm an auto electrician (not the same thing I know)
My understanding is the reciever needs a live and a neutral as a power supply. Then when it receives a call from the thermostat it then puts out a signal via the internal relay to the boiler to bring the heating on. My boiler is 240v so I will need to put a jumper wire in.
@SHIFTY power from same switched supply or from the boiler . Depending on boiler SL or 24 volt connection do not mix em up you will blow PCB. download pdf for boiler and controls before starting .
@@timeintheuk
Thank you for the information. Ill let you know how it goes.
@@timeintheuk
To make things easier for me, I already have the old receiver still connected whilst I wait for the new one to come. It has the jumper wire in it already. So, in theory it should be a straight swap if I move the wires into the new receiver one by one.
Hi I got potterton gold electric boiler how I can use rt520rf heating on or off without use program
Press button 6 and the hand symbol will show its only going to do what you set it to but no times at all. So 24.7. Use the up down arrows to change setting.. Good luck i highly recommend some basic settings and leaving in auto mode
I’ve been trying to adjust the thermostat and I can’t go under 21 degrees, why is that?
The display shows the room temp .hit the down arrow to adjust the room temp
@time on my hands thanks for the video as it has helped more than there manual. I just want to set the temp at 22c all day and night? would appreciate your help in this matter
Just go into settings time and temp set all temps to 20
However I recommend u set 14 overnite
hi sorry the penny has just dropped are you using this thermostat for your aircon as my comment is based on heating
please feel free to suggest further video topics and please subscribe cheers Paulo
@@timeintheuk yes it's for the heating... I have done what you suggested... i really hope it works cause it's for an elderly person. Subed!
Hi, we've just had this fitted but we can't work out how to take it off the wall! Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
u need a small posi screwdriver . there are 2 screws under the thermostat. you do need to remove from the wall to change batteries im afraid .
TOP TIP have the new battery in your have and change quickly one at a time and you will not lose the settings
Please tell me - how can I turn the heating completely off. We have
summer but my room was at night heated. Please help me.
There's an off switch on thermostat receiver .
If you have a water cylinder type system it could be a system fault .
If all else fails I'm sure the boiler has an off switch .
Also check the battery's the the thermostat .if they have gone replace turn up and down a few times above and below current room temperature . Good luck
Thanks for this but I still don’t understand what the five programs are. Is it just five times in a day that you can change the temperature? I just want to be able to set my heating to come on for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. I would love it if someone could tell me how on earth I do that.
Yes 5 times 5 temps ...
So you want heating twice per day say 9am till 10 so set that to 9am 20 deg then set 17 deg 10 am then Eve heating to say 7 pm 20 then 8pm 14 and your heating will be on twice if the room temp is below

Hi my parents have just had this controller installed. I have set the timings as per your response below but the heating remains on. We do not have a hand sign anywhere that I can see. It is almost like the boiler and the controller are not communicating. Any ideas?
check the receiver is set to auto . boost down to 5 degrees press tick leave 30 seconds and turn back to 25 press tick 30 seconds and turn where It needs to be press tick . solid red light on the receiver means its paired up
@@timeintheuk thanks for this. i have just tried this but it didn't work. the red light on the controller is flashing which i think it means is not paired. . i tried to pair and then did test but that did not work. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Hi there
Thanks for demo but how do I turn the controller from manual to automatic? Would really appreciate some help.
Thank you
the recever or the thermostat ? on the receiver simply slide the bottom slider from manual to auto . on the thermostat if u boost the temp or otherwise go to manual mode it should swop back to auto at the next time zone . or if the hand symbol is stuck on press the button with a hand on it should clear
Hi can you help I have programmed the unit as shown, the problem is the boiler keeps turning on and using gas. 1st programme start 6am finish 7am start temp 16c finish 17c, 2nd start 2pm finish 3pm start temp 16c finish 17c 3rd stay 9pm finish 10pm temp 16c finish 17c. The ambient temp of the room that the were the thermostat is 21c, so why is the boiler coming on.
Do you have hot rads. Is the thing in manual on recever or screen. Is the aqua comfort on the boiler on?
No the rads are not hot I do t k ow if it is in auto or man mode as this is all new, the boiler just keeps turning on an off all the time even though the ambient temp is higher than what is set.
@@789uknick if rads stay cool it's prob pre warming ur tap water. Look into aqua comfort or hw pre heat in your boiler instructions. What is your boiler? Combi or system? 2 brand and model?
hello. I have tried to follow the manual to locate the Hot Water section and programme that . HAve had no joy locating which sub menu it belongs to.. Please help thanks
Hi put simply there is not one. What heating system boiler type do you have
@@timeintheuk hi..thank you for that. How odd since it mentions it in the small manual provided. It's a Valiant ecotec 835 unit if that is of any help..? Having actually now trouble with the receiver as now only a flashing red light appears when set to auto function. I've tried pairing and testing to check already too. For now Ive had to switch to manual to get some heat and water going. BOiler is on and
working fine it's just not receiving the info from the thermostat
Hi your boilers is a combi it makes water when tap is run simple as that. This units just for heating. Your prob mixing up the open therm functions. Adjusting flow temp live displays ect. That wont work as the vaillant can't speak open therm it only speaks ebus..
Flashing red indicates the units not paired turn off the power to the receiver and boiler pull battery's out of the thermostat. Wait a good half hour or overnight power up and replace battery's. Call the salus tec line in the am never press reset as it will lose sync
@@timeintheuk thank you so much for the input there. Understood. I've switched everything off and take batteries out of thermostat too..leaving it for around an hour or so before evening kicks in so hopefully it will all kick back in when switched on once i test and pair them
I have a RT520TX and it has shown the hand on the screen since it was installed in the summer. I've only just worked out this means it is in manual mode and probably explains why the schedule I set isn't working But the receiver is set to auto and I can't work out how to set the thermostat to auto and get rid of the hand. Any ideas welcomed, have been driven mad trying to figure this out. :(
Button 6 activates manual and deactivated manual mode .bottom right button . Try a quick press or a longer press to see if that works
@@timeintheuk Thanks for that but I tried both of those options and nothing makes that blasted hand go away.. all that pressing that button or holding it does is bring up the temp that is set for if it gets lower than this then turn the boiler on setting... any other ideas or can I get rid of that low temp thing and if so how and would that make the hand go away? all I want to do is for it to come on automatically with the schedule I've set so it takes any chill off a bit just before I wake up.. and again in the evening if needed. .I don't like too much heat and definitely don't want it on while I'm asleep or in the day unless I want a quick blast if it gets really cold and a thicker jumper hasn't helped.
I see on the next to useless quick guide you get with it that there is a factory reset. Would that work and all I'd have to do is redo the set up on the controller part? The receiver is currently set to auto and the red light is showing as on, on the on/off button above the auto/manual button. .can't read it right now as it's too high up the wall [near the ceiling] for some daft reason only the gas fitters who put it there will know of but it's pushed to the left ..
Pull the battery out for 20 min you will have to set up again after tho
I recommend you set 14 deg night and 16 days and boost when you req
@@timeintheuk Thanks I'll try the pulling battery out option and see if that works. don't have a night and day setting just one minimum ambient temp. I've got that set to 14 and on my schedules I've got it set to come on if under 18-19 can't recall which off the top of my head and go off if over 14.
We have just had ours installed today. The engineer set timer for the heat to come on at 7am at 17 degree and off at 10.30 at 22degree. I was informed my CS team that it should be set at 5 degree turn off. Please can you confirm
No on or off your heating is going to give 17 degrees at 7am untill the next slot and 22 degrees at 1030 untill the next slot. This could be all night. Your installer was ill informed
I thought so. So we have it set 7am at 17degrees and off 10.30 at 5 degrees then to come on again at 16.00 at 17 degrees and off at 22.30 at 5 degrees. Is that correct ? We want heating to go off at the set time. He set out room temperature at 22. On the display its 22 degrees.
Set a low temp for ( off) say 14 at nite and 18 to 20 when ur in during the day. I when ur out set a lower temp
Is 5 degrees to low to have as off
Ok I have set to 14. Hopefully it will work:) you have been very helpful.

Hi, the schedule function is confusing. how do you switch the schedules off?
On the receiver you have a sliding switch with off .( heating always off ) Auto ( I listening to instructions from the thermostat ). Manual ( on all the time ) . You can’t turn the schedules off on the thermostat I’m afraid just set the temp to what you require your home to be and it will sort it’s self out via auto
@@timeintheuk Thanks. So if I don't want the heating to switch on automatically I should set the schedule temp to a setting that will not exceed the room temp or lowest setting? Also the "prog" icon never use to show up on the Main screen, it is always showing one of the 6 "prog" settings now.

The Salus instructional video says the absolute opposite of this. They say Schedule 1 is on, 2 is off. 3 is on, 4 is off, 5 on 6 off. So only three periods that are on.
What is true? Other than by trial and error myself I am not sure what to believe!
123456 can be on or off its all about the temp you have set it to if the rooms colder than the target temp its on. Higher than target temp its off simples
@@timeintheuk Thanks for responding! I think I get it now.
How do i cancel all programs set?
To what end
*How do you use it as a simple thermostat,* with no time function interfering. That is....
1. Going out turn temp down to 10C or lower - which turns the boiler *off.*
2. When just coming in, turn it back up to 21C - which turns the boiler *on.*
Setting it properly is easier . But in your case just set every temp in the preset to 14 deg and Boost when you get home press tick after hitting the up arrow

Sorry, I never quite got that.
John Burns schedule then time set the temps all to 14 if you want it off until boosted . The Tec team at Salus are superb give em a call Monday
Just to be clear there is no option to not use the time function I’m afraid

Poor design if you just cannot switch it on and off.
NEWS..FLASH . I’ve heard that on rare occasions when wired up as open therm to the boiler sometimes the heating can stick on causing the heating to keep running . If this happens simply turn off the power to the boiler and the programmer should be the same fused spur . After 20 seconds turn back on and the fault should be cleared .
time in the uk hi stupid question but why is my flame symbol flashing what does that mean?
time in the uk and why is my optimum start flashing when I have the heating on? This is confusing me
You have a demand ,,, or the stat is signaling off the flashing flame indicates a command being sent on or off . When off it will soon stop
Optimum start is this you want a room temp of 20 . Your current room temp is 19 so the stat using open therm puts the boiler on but at a low setting ...this is my understanding of it
Also you may sometimes neet to remove the thermostat battery's for 15min for a hard reset
PAIRING?!?
The units are pre paired from the box . But can be paired easily by following the instructions
Most people don't need 6 programmes so how do you set just 3????? This is not covered in the instructions or in this or any other video
Easy chop the day into 6 segments and put a time and temp in for each so you want
8am 20deg
10am20 deg
12pm 19 deg
3pm 19 deg
10pm 14 deg
11pm 14 deg
Hope that’s clear please subscribe to support the channel it really helps.
Any questions just feedback cheers
However I suggest
You try setting for something like this to get a better comfort level
7am 17deg if cold the heating will start to warm your home slowly in summer it won’t come on
8am 18 deg to increase the temp
9am you leave for work set to 16 a background temp to keep the cold out your home
4pm 18 deg
10 pm 14 deg
11pm 14 deg . This will cancel any boot that’s been made cheers
Most unnecessarily complicated thermostat I've ever come across - dreadful!
Really you should try the neomitis
No one is making a video about wiring the receiver to the boiler. I have a wired thermostat with only 3 buttons, up-down and off. There are only 2 wires going out of it and connected directly to the boiler. No power source, nothing else. This RT520RF looks like it needs those 2 contacts to the boiler and another 2 to a plug that should go into a 220v socket. I hoped for less wires, not more
Take power and n from the boiler and send switched live back unless ur using low voltage switching Or zone valves .
To many variables with boilers to give one solution
