An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates important information in these operating instructions which must be observed without fail. The ‘hand’...
‘FHT8V’ valve operating mechanism that is mounted to the radiator. The valve operating mechanism then reduces or increases the heat accordingly. The heating control’s integrated receiver also allows the ‘FHT80B-3’ to receive the status signals from up to 4 ‘FHT80TF-2’ door/window contact sensors.
Changes (‘Window open’ or ‘Window closed’) are signalled to the heating control within a time period of about 1 minute. This allows the heating control to adjust the temperature after an average of 30 seconds, in order to save energy when a room is aired, for example. b) Security code The radio signal is protected by a two-part security code This security code protects the system against interference from other radio systems and ensures that several radio-controlled...

To save you from having to laboriously read through several user manuals we have included information on how to mount and start up the ‘FHT80TF-2’ door/window contact sensors on the following pages. The ‘FHT80TF-2’ door/window contact sensor is not supplied with the ‘FHT80B-3’ and must be purchased separately! a) General information Magnetic contacts (reed contacts) are integrated into the left and right sides of the casing of the ‘FHT80TF-2’...
b) Installation notes • Magnetic contacts (reed contacts) are located inside the ‘FHT80TF-2’ door/window contact sensor both on the left and on the right side. This means that you can mount the supplied magnet either on the left or on the right side. A two-sided installation of 2 magnets (one on the left and one on the right of the door/ window contact sensor) is not possible! •...
Page 23
• You can attach several external sensors to the door/window contact sensor, such as when you have a wide window bank with several windows/doors. These external contacts must be NC (normally closed) contacts. When connecting several external NC contacts, they must be connected in series. See figure 14.
c) Installing the ‘FHT80TF-2’ • Open the casing. Use an appropriately sized flat screw- driver to carefully push the catches on the left side of the casing approx. 1 millimetre inwards (‘A’), until the half shells separate. First press one side catch inwards and pull the casing approx.
• If you are using external NC contacts, connect both cables (fed through the openings near screw ‘B’) with the screw terminals ‘KL1’ (position ‘D’ in figure 16). A LED ‘D1’ B Opening for wall mounting (in the figure a screw is already inserted).
e) Setting the operating mode of the ‘FHT80TF-2’ In the delivery state the door/window contact sensor ‘FHT80TF-2’ only monitors the internal contact. When external contacts are also to be monitored (or only external contacts), then the operating mode must be adjusted accordingly. The initial operation blinking sequence (begins once the batteries have been inserted) indicates the current operating mode: Blinks 3 times Internal contact is monitored...
12. Programming the system All the required system settings are preset to standard settings in the factory: • Heating phase: Comfort temperature 21 °C from 6.00 am to 11.00 pm • Lowering phase: Lowering temperature 17 °C from 11.00 pm to 6.00 am •...

b) Setting/changing the week profile The time for automatic switching between the comfort temperature and the lowering tempera- ture can be programmed to different settings for each day of the week. This way you can adapt the desired room temperature to your individual lifestyle. 4 switching times (comfort temperature on, lowering temperature on, comfort temperature on, lowering temperature on) can be set for each day of the week.
Page 30
• The time when the comfort temperature will be switched on is displayed (the sun symbol ‘ ’ is displayed), in our example this is ‘6:00 6:00’ hrs: 6:00 6:00 6:00 DO FR SA Prog Figure 21 Use the scroller to select the time when the appliance should begin warming up to the target comfort temperature.
Page 31
DO FR SA Prog Figure 23 If you set the second comfort temperature time to ‘--:-- --:--’, the setting of the second --:-- --:-- --:-- lowering temperature time is irrelevant, since nothing changes. Two different periods of comfort temperature can be set, for example, from 6.00 am to 9.00 am and from 4.00 pm to 11.00 pm.
c) Operating modes Press the ‘FUNKTION’ button to change the operating mode. Press this button several times to scroll through the different operating modes: Holiday/party Automatic mode Manual mode function Figure 24 • Automatic mode In the Automatic operating mode (‘Auto’ appears in the LCD) the room temperature is controlled according to the program set for the day of the week.
Setting the holiday/party function: • Select this operating mode (suitcase symbol ‘ ’ appears in the display) with the ‘FUNKTION’ button and set the period of time this function is to be active. During the following 24 hours the temperature will be reduced in stages every 30 minutes (party function).
e) Switching between comfort temperature and lowering temperature If a room is used at different times than set in the time program, you may change the temperature any time using the scroller. You can also switch directly from the comfort temperature to the lowering temperature by pressing the ‘...
g) Closing the valve Select this operating mode, if you do not want to heat the room at all. The valve is closed and remains in this position. The valve is only opened, if the temperature drops below 5 °C (danger of freezing). The weekly decalcification cycle is still carried out.
i) ‘Window open’ detection The installed ‘FHT80TF-2’ door/window contact sensors require no operation. They detect when a window or a door has been opened and notify the heating control by radio signal accordingly. The heating control then reduces the target temperature to the ‘Window open’ temperature that has been set.
13. Special functions The heating control has several special functions. To access the special functions menu press the ‘PROG’ button until ‘Sond Sond Sond Sond Sond’ appears on the LCD. Then release the ‘PROG’ button. The special functions menu can only be accessed when the heating control is in the normal operating mode (time and date are displayed on the left of the display and the temperature is displayed on the right of the display).
a) Setting the decalcification time (‘CALC CALC CALC CALC CALC’) The valve is completely opened and closed once a week. This prevents deposits from blocking the valve. You can use the special ‘CALC CALC’ function to change the time at which the CALC CALC CALC...
Each part of the code comprises 100 setting options. This means that a total of 10,000 different security codes are available. To ensure communication between the ‘FHT80B-3’ heating control and the ‘FHT8V’ valve operating mechanism/s the same security code has to be set for all the devices in a room.

The valve operating mechanism is now ready to receive and ‘AC AC’ is displayed. • Press the ‘PROG’ button on the ‘FHT80B-3’ heating control to start transmitting the security code to the valve operating mechanism. • The valve operating mechanism acknowledges that it has received the code correctly with a tone sequence.
e) Setting the number of valve operating mechanisms (‘ An A An A An A’) An A An A You use this menu item to set the number of radiators (valve operating mechanisms) to be controlled when the heating control is used to control several valve operating mechanisms in one large room, for example.
4. The valve operating mechanism acknowledges that it has received the code correctly with a tone sequence. 5. Replace the valve operating mechanism’s battery compartment cover. 6. The valve operating mechanism acknowledges that it has received the first normal radio signal with a signal tone.
g) Test mode (‘ tESt tESt tESt’) tESt tESt You can use this function to check whether all the valve operating mechanisms receive the radio signal correctly. The addressed valve operating mechanisms acknowledge correct reception with an acoustic signal. Use the scroller to select the valve operating mechanisms to be tested.
i) Connecting to the home radio central unit (‘CEnt CEnt CEnt CEnt CEnt’) You only require this special function, if you want the heating control to work with a new ‘FHZ1000’ central unit or no central unit at all, in other words, you wish to unregister the heating control from the central unit.
j) Querying the status of a door/window contact sensor (‘FEn FEn’) You can use the ‘FEn FEn’ special function menu to request the current status of a ‘FHT80TF-2’ door/window contact sensor. You can also use this menu to newly register or delete door/ window contact sensors.
Registering a door/window contact sensor Proceed as follows to register a door/window contact sensor with the ‘FHT80B-3’ heating control: • The ‘FHT80B-3’ door/window contact sensor must be properly installed. • Press the ‘PROG’ button until ‘Sond Sond’ appears on the LCD.
I) Deleting door/window contact sensors Door/window contact sensors that are no longer required or are no longer in operation should be deleted in order to avoid repeated error messages from being displayed (‘reception failure’). The power consumption also increases as attempts are regularly made to receive signals from the door/window contact sensors.
m) Radiator offset (‘OFFS OFFS OFFS OFFS OFFS’) This setting option is only displayed, if you use more than one valve operating mechanism. If several radiators are controlled by one heating control, it may be that these radiators do not heat up to the same level.
14. Replacing the batteries a) ‘FHT80B-3’ heating control If the symbol ‘ ’ appears on the LCD, this means that the batteries are low and must be replaced. To replace the batteries, proceed as follows: • Remove the heating control from the wall holder and open the battery compartment cover (slide down).
• Insert two new Mignon/AA batteries into the valve operating mechanism’s battery compart- ment, making sure that the polarity is correct. Otherwise you may destroy the valve operating mechanism’s electronic components! • The display shows ‘C1 C1’ followed by a 2-digit number. The display then shows ‘C2 C2’, followed by another 2-digit number (both numbers are the currently stored security code of the valve operating mechanism)
