INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Unlike the conventional thermostat, this
control separates the function in two
units. The receiver serves for wiring
connections and heat on/off control. The
transmitter serves as the user interface
and for temperature sensing/control. The
two units are linked by radio frequency
(RF).
The transmitter is a wall-mounted timerthermostat. The transmitter can be
located wherever a conventional room
thermostat would normally be sited. No
wiring is required, as the transmitter is
battery powered.
The receiver is connected to the boiler,
and can replace a conventional
mechanical or electronic time clock.
Important: these instructions should be
read in conjunction with the appliance
installation
instructions.
It
is

recommended that this device is installed

by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: Eventual additional electronic boards
necessary to connect the controller to the

and need to be purchased separately.

PREPARATION: Isolate the appliance from

the electrical supply and remove the
appliance casing and PCB cover (refer to
boiler installation instructions for specific
details).
Connect the spade terminals of the
receiver to the boiler side. The 4 cables
have different color and different function.

Important: Secure the receiver wiring

harness to the internal boiler cable
anchors
Important: never connect the OT+
contact to 230V supply to avoid the
destruction of the bus circuit.
INSTALLATION OF RECEIVER
Secure the receiver in the proximity of the
boiler using 2 anchors (see picture below
for drill holes specifications) and screws
or the enclosed double side adhesive.

Brown = main supply 230 Vac = line L

The choice between the two options
(defined as installation TYPE) depend
from the boiler capability and from the
installer decision. See picture for the
receiver internal connections.
Important: the link-wire (if fitted) must be
removed from room thermostat terminals
(both installation type)

The location should be chosen in order to

see the receiver leds and have access to
the receiver encoding button. For no

reason should the receiver box be

opened. The appliance can only be
mounted indoors and in areas free from
any water or moisture. Wiring must
conform to IEE regulations. RF Address
Code Setting: if there is another user
nearby, e.g. in the next dwelling, your
receiver may be operated in error by their
transmitter. You may select a different RF
address code to prevent this. (see
encoding section on the technical menu
list).
Note: do not fix the receiver to the boiler
casing.

there is not necessity to make any

encoding operation after installation (both
installation type) - follow the encoding
instruction if the communication is
missing or lost.
Before fixing the transmitter check that
the radio signal is active in the room that
you are fixing (if there is no
communication the receiver will flash
orange after 350 sec the communication
is lost). Because the transmitter uses
radio waves to communicate with the
receiver, you should also bear in mind
that metallic objects can weaken or
deflect radio signals: this includes steel
reinforced walls, filing cabinets, kitchen
appliances, mirrors. The range of the
Radiostat is 40 metres in open air, and 20
metres inside buildings, dependent on RF
obstructions as mentioned above.

INSTALLATION OF TRANSMITTER
Before installing the transmitter check the
encoding functionality while the receiver
and the transmitter are still very near. The
encoding between the transmitter and the
receiver is already factory set therefore

Position the Radiostat on a wall surface

away from obstructions and direct heat
sources or draughts, in a room that is
warmed by the heating system. The fixing
of the transmitter can be done either with
the anchors and screws or with the
double sided adhesive (both supplied).
See the diagram below as reference to
drill the wall.

and re-assembly to backplate. Pay

attention because it could be difficult to
open, follow the diagram for an easier
opening procedure.

WARNING! DO not touch the printed circuit

board of the transmitter as it contains
electrostatically sensitive components.
FUNCTIONS
The Beretta Programmable 7-day RF
Thermostat has the following functions:
