4. Function

With the Radiator Thermostat Model M you can convenient-
ly regulate the room temperature. Thanks to pre-programmed
or individually tailored heating and non-heating phases the de-
sired temperature can be comfortably adjusted. The device
moves a valve to control the flow of heat to the radiator. The
radiator thermostat fits to all common radiator valves and is easy to
install without having to drain any water or intervene in the heating
system. The additional boost function enables quick, short-term ra-
diator heating by opening the valve for 5 minutes. This immediately
brings a comfortable warmth to the room.

5. Safety instructions

6. Disposal instructions

Do not dispose of the device with regular domestic waste.
Electronic devices must be disposed of in accordance with
the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive via
local disposal points for electronic waste.
The CE sign is a free trading sign addressed exclusively to the
authorities and does not include any warranty of any prop-
erties.
Used batteries should not be disposed of with regular do-
mestic waste! Instead, take them to your local battery
disposal point.

7. Inserting (replacing) batteries

Upon delivery, the batteries are already inserted with an insu-
lation strip. For the device to function, please remove this strip.
To replace the batteries, please proceed as follows:
• Press the battery compartment cover on both sides with your fin-
gers and pull it away from device body.
• Insert 2 new LR6 (mignon/AA) batteries in the battery compart-
ment, making sure they are the right way round.
• Reattach the battery compartment cover and latch it into place.
The service life of new alkaline batteries is approximately 3
years. A battery symbol (
batteries need to be replaced. After removing the empty bat-
teries, wait approximately 1 minute before inserting the new
ones. This device does not support operation with rechargea-
G
ble batteries.
Never recharge standard batteries. Doing so will present a risk
of explosion. Do not throw the batteries into a fire. Do not
short-circuit batteries.

8. Set date and time

After inserting batteries, the date and time is automatically request-
ed after a brief display of the firmware version number and short mo-
tor run ("INS").
• Set the year, month, day, hour and minute with the control wheel
and confirm by pressing the control wheel briefly (E).
You can also 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 mo-
tor is still reversing. When only "INS" is shown in the display, the
radiator thermostat can be installed on the valve.
• The week program and other settings can be adjusted before instal-
lation. Press the Mode/Menu button for this, while "INS" is shown
in the display. You will find further information in chapter "11. Set-
ting week program".
• After the programming has been completed, "INS" is shown again
in the display and installation can take place.

9. Installation on the radiator

The radiator thermostat is easy to install where thermostatic valves
have previously been fitted, and can be done without draining heat-
ing water or intervening in the heating system. No special tools are
required, and the heating does not have to be switched off.
It is recommended to install the device while radiators / pipes
are not hot.
The union nut attached to the radiator thermostat can be used uni-
versally and without accessories for valves of the most popular man-
ufacturers with a thread size of M30 x 1.5 mm.

9.1 Removing the old dial

• Rotate your existing thermostat dial to the maximum value (an-
ti-clockwise). The thermostat dial then no longer presses against
the valve spindle, making it easier to remove.
• Now remove the thermostat dial.
• If required, fix one of the supplied adapters. Afterwards, the adap-
tion run can be initiated (see chapter „10. Adaption run").

9.2 Adapters for Danfoss valves

By means of the adapters included in the package, the device can be
installed on radiator valves of types Danfoss RA, RAV and RAVL.
The assignment of the suitable adapter ring to the relevant valve can
be found in the following illustrations.
The Danfoss valve bodies have elongated notches (I) around their cir-
cumference (see arrow), which also ensure that the adapter is prop-
erly seated when it snaps on.
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. Af-
ter clipping onto the valve body, please attach the adapter using the
provided screw and nut.
The spigot extension (K) must be fitted to the valve pin of RAV valves
prior to installation.
) on the display indicates that the
The adapter RAVL does not have to be screwed.
Support ring
The valves from different manufacturers may have tolerance fluctu-
ations that make the radiator thermostat more loosely seated on the
valve. In this case, the provided support ring (L) should be placed into
the flange before installing the radiator thermostat.

10. Adaption run

After the batteries have been inserted the motor reverses.
Meanwhile, "INS" and the activity symbol (
As soon as "INS" is displayed without the activity symbol
( ), the radiator thermostat can be installed. This is followed by an
adapting run ("AdA") to adapt the thermostat to the valve.
• Attach the radiator thermostat to the valve.
• Tighten the union nut.
• Press the control wheel briefly when "INS" is displayed.
It is now that the radiator thermostat performs the adaption run. "AdA"
and the activity symbol (
operation is possible.
If required, place the provided support ring (L) into the flange
before installing the radiator thermostat.
During installation, please ensure that the pins inside the adapt-
er (J) are lined up with the notches (I) 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 halves of the adapter!
