TLX 6001RFPv PROGRAMMABLE ROOM THERMOSTAT
What is a programmable room
thermostat?
A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature,
switching the heating on when the air temperature falls below
the thermostat setting and switching the heating off when the
thermostat setting has been reached.
A programmable room thermostat allows you to choose
different room temperatures to be used at different times of the
day and night. It also allows you to set different temperature
profiles for each day of the week.
A programmable room thermostat does not switch your central
heating off in the same way that a central heating programmer
does. Instead, the boiler is always ready to provide heat if the
air temperature falls below the current thermostat set
temperature.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting
will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the
room heats up depends on the design of the heating system,
for example, the size of boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools
down. Turning a programmable room thermo stat to a lower
setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower
temperature, and saves energy.
The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is
to find the lowest temperature settings that you are
comfortable with at the different times you have chosen, and
then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to
set low temperatures first, say 18°C, and then turn them up by
one degree each day until you are comfortable with the
temperatures. You won't have to adjust the thermostat further.
Any adjustments above these settings will waste energy and
cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will
usually be only one programmable room thermostat to control
the whole house. But you can have different temperatures in
individual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves
(TRVs) on individual radiators. If you don't have TRVs, you
should choose a temperature that is reasonable for the whole
house. If you do have TRVs, you can choose a slightly higher
setting to make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable,
then prevent any overheating in other rooms by adjusting the
TR V s.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types
have to be adjusted in spring and autumn at the changes
between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.
You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme,
for example, 'Override', 'Advance' or 'Boost'. These are
explained in the manufacturer's instructions.
Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to
sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by
curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires,
televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat
from working properly.
TLX RFPv Room Thermostat
The TLX RFPv is a radio-frequency programmable room
thermostat and receiver which allows the user to select two
different temperatures, i.e. comfort & economy, for different
times of the day. The thermostat can be configured for
7day, 5day/2day or 24hr programming and the user can
select between eight pre-defined temperature profiles. Six
of the pre-defined temperature profiles can be modified by
the user to meet their particular requirements.
Thermostat position: To be placed at a height of 1.5m
from the floor. Do not position on an outside wall, above a
radiator, next to a door, or in direct sunlight.
For fixed wiring only
Disconnect mains supply before fitting receiver, or
removing unit from back plate. A switch having a contact
separation of at least 3mm in all poles must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring as a means of fully
disconnecting the mains supply. An appropriate fuse
should also be fitted to the circuit.
Installation
N.B. All installations should be carried out by a
competent person and in line with current wiring
regulations
1
Remove the back plate from the receiver by
loosening the retaining screw at the bottom of the
unit.
2
Choose a suitable place near to the boiler. Fix the
back plate to the wall with screws, 3mm max
3
Route wires through the back of the back plate
and connect wires to the receiver in accordance
with the diagram on page 3 (fig.2) and current
Wiring Regulations
4
Position receiver into back plate and tighten the
retaining screw at the bottom of the unit.
WARNING
The cover must not be removed unless the
thermostat is isolated from the electrical supply.
