Product description 3.1 Product description The RC35 user interface makes it easy to operate your Buderus heating system. You can set the room temperature for your entire home using the dial. The automatic mode with its adjustable programs ensures energy-saving operation by reducing the room temperature at certain times or shutting down heating completely (adjustable night setback).
Basic operation Basic operation 4.1 Display The display on the RC35 user interface presents the following elements during normal operation: 71 F Room please open cover 6 720 618 414-01.1RS Fig. 1 Elements on the display Top information row: standard display (factory setting: date and time)

• Heating zones without remote control ( page 54, setting “none”): different room temperatures are possible for each zone, in contrast to the RC35 heating zones. The room temperature is set as described below. • RC35 heating zones: the room temperatures are the same for all heating zones assigned to the RC35.
This ensures that hot water is available during the heating phases (i.e. when in day mode). If you want to enter a separate hot water program, Buderus recommends: • Heating the hot water tank only once in the morning before home heating starts.

5.16 Calibrating the room temperature display If there is a separate thermometer near the RC35 when installed in the living space, it may show a different room temperature to that shown on the unit. If you wish to adjust the RC35 to match the thermometer (i.e.
Page 46
User menu A thermometer may indicate temperature fluctuations more slowly or rapidly than the RC35. B so never calibrate the RC35 when your heating system is in the process of cooling down or heating up. 1. Open the User menu.
• Room temperature control: in this case, the RC35 must be mounted in a room that is representative of your home. The RC35 records the room temperature in this “reference room”.
• Ventilate your home wisely: Leave the windows wide open for a few minutes rather than leaving them slightly open all the time. • While ventilating rooms, set the RC35 to night mode. Do this by pressing the night button.
Why does a separate thermometer not match the room temperature set in the RC35? Various different factors influence the room temperature. If the RC35 is installed on a cold wall, it will be influenced by the cold temperature of that wall. Conversely, it will be influenced by the heat from a fireplace or chimney, if it is installed in a warm part of the room.

In the last two cases the boiler may run even if the recorded room temperature is higher than the set room temperature. Logamatic EMS RC35 user interface - Subject to technical modifications.
7.2 Error messages and service messages The RC35 makes a distinction between three types of messages: • Faults (in boiler operation) • System errors (incorrect settings on the RC35, or component malfunctions) • Service messages (indicating that servicing is due) Faults The display shows the following message: Your system has a fault present.
