2. Product Overview The RT520RF 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. Turning a room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any faster.

2.2 Montage 2.3 Package content 1) RT520RF thermostat 2) Thermostat bracket 3) RXRT520 receiver 4) 2x AA batteries 5) Short instruction 6) Mounting screws 2.4 Proper thermostat location Please note: The ideal position to thermostat mounting is about 1,5m under floor level far from heating or cooling sources. Thermostat can’t be exposed to sunlight or any extreme conditions like for example draft.
The thermostat communicates wirelessly with the RXRT520 receiver. The receiver should be supplied with 230VAC, the maximum load of the receiver is 16A. Avoid installing the device in places directly exposed to water, moisture and air condensation. The RXRT520 receiver can operate in two different modes - AUTO (automatic) and MANUAL (manual).
3.2 LED indications in the receiver The status of the RXRT520 receiver is indicated by two LEDs. These are LEDs with the following colors: - red (upper one), - green (lower one). A detailed explanation of the meaning of the LEDs can be found in the table below: MEANING The receiver is connected to the 230V power supply and is paired with the thermostat.
3.3 Wall mounting of the receiver Wall mounting the receiver: drill two ø6 mm holes in the wall. Insert the plugs and, by putting the plate to the wall (included in the set), put the two screws through the holes and then screw them in. Connect the necessary cables to the receiver. Next, hang the receiver on the board using the handles designed in the receiver, marked in the picture below.

TPI (Time Proportional & Integral) is a self-learning, time-proportional algorithm. TPI type of regulation ensures economical system operation through more accurate temperature maintenance during controlling process and limits overload conditions. In addition to the exact and stable room temperature, the advantage of this system is the minimization of energy consumption and significant savings.

The optimization function is an energy-saving algorithm for the effective control of the heating device, ensuring better thermal comfort at certain times of the day. When the OPTIMUM START function is active, the thermostat sends a heating signal to the heat source beforehand so that the preset temperature in the room is reached at the time specified in the schedule.
4.4 OpenTherm - Hot Water configuration RT520RF can be configured in Hot Water OPENTHERM system. To configure it follow steps below: Press Using , navigate to Using , adjust the Hot Water submenu and press temperature and then press The thermostat will return to the The text bar indicates that hot water main screen.
5. User settings 5.1 Manual mode In manual mode, the thermostat maintains a constant temperature set by the user. To exit mode, press and hold button for 3 seconds. A hand icon is displayed when manual mode is active. A hand icon will appear, which means To set temperature use Press button.
5.2 Schedule mode - programming schedule In this mode, user can set the schedules for thermostat (temperature setpoints for specific periods of time). Programmed schedules should use all time periods. Press Press Using , select the program type between: 5 +2 (schedule for the working days All (set one schedule for Individual (set a daily schedule).
5.3 Switching between manual and schedule mode In this option, user can switch between manual and schedule mode by using button. To do that please follow steps below: TO SWITCH FROM AUTOMATIC MODE TO MANUAL MODE: In the manual mode, the user can set the desired temperature that the thermostat will maintain.
5.4 BOOST mode - hourly temperature override (+Hr) The function is available in automatic and manual mode. Used to change the temperature to the desired value for a specified number of hours (up to 9 hours). After the elapsed time, the thermostat returns to the previous operating mode.
