Introduction

A room thermostat simply switches the heating system on and off as necessary. It works by sensing the air
temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and
switching it off once this set temperature has been reached.
The SALUS RT310i is a Smart phone controlled programmable thermostat. The RT310i thermostat will switch
your heating system on or off, as needed, in accordance with the temperature set by you, locally on the device
or remotely using the dedicated app.
Turning a 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 room thermostat to a lower setting will
result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy.
The heating system will not work if a time switch or programmer has switched it off.
The way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature setting that you are comfortable
with, and then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to set the room thermostat to a low
temperature – say 18⁰C – and then turn it up by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the
temperature.
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.
