This document describes the Salus RT510BC+ thermostat and its associated RXBC605 RF boiler control, providing comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance. The system is designed to manage heating systems efficiently by allowing users to set specific time and temperature schedules.
The Salus RT510BC+ is a programmable thermostat that controls your heating system based on user-defined time and temperature settings. It communicates wirelessly with the RXBC605 RF boiler control, which acts as a direct replacement for a standard time clock or blanking plate on your boiler. This wireless communication enables flexible placement of the thermostat within your home.
The thermostat features an Internal Temperature Load Compensation (ITLC) function, which helps optimize heating performance by considering the internal temperature of the room. This ensures more precise temperature control and potentially greater energy efficiency.
The RXBC605 boiler control has two operational modes:
A key safety feature is the boiler control's behavior in NORMAL mode: if it does not receive a signal from the thermostat for one hour, it will turn off the boiler, and its LED indicator will flash constantly (twice per second). The boiler will resume normal operation once a valid ON or OFF signal is received from the thermostat.
The RT510BC+ thermostat includes several button functions for various operations:
The thermostat also features DIP switches on its rear for advanced configuration:
The RT510BC+ system is designed for ease of use, offering intuitive programming and control options.
Installation: The RXBC605 boiler control is designed for straightforward installation. It involves removing the existing front panel and mechanical timer from the boiler, connecting the electrical plug, and then pushing the boiler control into the housing. It's crucial to ensure a good seal when replacing the front panel. The installation process is quick, often taking only minutes, and requires basic electrical connections (Neutral, Live input, Common, Normally Open). Safety information emphasizes isolating the AC Mains supply before installation and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Pairing Process: Establishing wireless communication between the thermostat and the boiler control is simple. The user presses the SYNC button on the boiler control for 3 seconds until its LED flashes red. Simultaneously, the thermostat is put into pairing mode. Once paired, the red LED on the receiver stops flashing, indicating successful communication.
Setting Time and Date: The thermostat allows users to set the current time and date, including the hour format (e.g., 12-hour or 24-hour). This is crucial for accurate scheduling of heating programs.
Programming: Users can create personalized heating programs. The system offers two main programming options:
Override Functions:
Holiday Mode: This feature enables users to set a specific duration (in days) during which the heating system will maintain a lower, energy-saving temperature. This is ideal for when the home is unoccupied for an extended period. The holiday period can be set to zero to exit Holiday Mode.
Boost Function: The boost function provides a quick way to temporarily increase the heating. Users can set the duration and the desired boost temperature, which is useful for rapid warming of a room.
Frost Protection: This essential safety feature maintains a minimum temperature (default 5.0°C, adjustable in Installer Mode) to prevent pipes from freezing, particularly important during colder months or when the property is vacant. The frost protection mode can be activated and deactivated with a single button press.
Installer Mode: This advanced mode allows for customization of several parameters to fine-tune the thermostat's operation:
The RT510BC+ system incorporates features to ensure reliable long-term operation and ease of maintenance.
Battery Management: The thermostat is powered by 2 x AA Alkaline batteries. The device will display a "low battery" symbol when the batteries need replacing.
Reset Function: If the thermostat experiences issues, a reset function is available. This involves removing the batteries without pressing any buttons, waiting 2 minutes, and then reinserting the batteries. This action restarts the device and can resolve minor operational glitches.
Product Compliance: The device complies with essential EU Directives, including EMC 2014/30/EU, LVD 2014/35/EU, RED 2014/53/EU, and RoHS 2011/65/EU, ensuring it meets safety and environmental standards. The full EU Declaration of Conformity is available online.
Safety Information: Users are reminded to use the device in accordance with regulations, for indoor use only, and to keep it dry. Disconnecting the device before cleaning with a dry cloth is advised. Any installation or work on components requiring 230 VAC 50Hz supply must be performed by a competent person and comply with relevant standards and regulations to prevent prosecution. Always isolate the AC Mains supply before working on such components.
