INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Salus iT500 Series of Internet enabled programmable heating/cooling controls. We hope that your purchase will give you many years of active and trouble-free service.

This equipment can replace an existing domestic central heating and hot water programmable controller and thermostat or can control a completely new installation.

It is estimated that using a programmable thermostat can save up to 20% of the energy used by a traditional installation.

The equipment can be used without the Gateway unit. In this case the battery powered central Thermostat unit will communicate only with the Thermostat Receiver and cannot be accessed remotely.

Features

•Access and control your heating and hot water system via the internet using a smartphone or computer

•Programmable using your smartphone or computer

•Secure and energy efficient

•Three system and display configurations

INSTALLATION

Introduction

The iT500 Thermostat and the iT500RX Receiver are designed to replace the programmer and wired thermostat in a traditional domestic heating arrangement.

The equipment can be configured to control the following arrangements:

•Heating only, 1 zone

•Heating only, 2 zones

•Heating plus hot water

The system can be remotely controlled, via the internet, by connecting the system to your wireless router.

Two Heating Zone Arrangement

In this arrangement, the two outputs on the iT500 Thermostat Receiver are used to control two zone heating valves.

The temperature in Zone 2 is controlled by the addition of an iT300 Temperature Sensor Transmitter, placed in the zone.

Installing the iT500RX Receiver

Replacing an Existing Programmable Controller with the iT500RX Receiver

1.Turn off the electrical power to your appliance.

Caution: Ensure that the electrical supply to the appliance has been isolated. Failure to completely isolate the appliance could cause personal injury by electric shock and possible damage to equipment.

Remove the cover from the existing programmable controller.

2.Note down the wiring sequence and the cable colours connected to the terminals within the electrical box.

3.Disconnect the wires from the existing programmable controller terminals and remove.

Note: Providing the existing programmable controller was mounted using a standard electrical box, the iT500RX Receiver will finally mount back onto this.

4.Loosen the screws at the bottom of the receiver unit, unclip the front of the unit and fit the back of the receiver unit to the wall using the fittings supplied.

10 iT500 User Reference Manual

5.Connect the wires in the electrical box to the terminals of the iT500RX Receiver in the correct sequence. See the wiring diagram later on in this section.

6.Once the wiring has been completed, position the iT500RX Receiver over the electrical box fixing holes. Carefully position any wiring back into the electrical box and secure the iT500RX Receiver using the existing screws.

Installing the iT500TR Thermostat

The iT500 Thermostat is portable and can be located anywhere, providing it is within range of the iT500RX Receiver.

If necessary, install the batteries in the iT500 Thermostat (see Battery Replacement). Fit the wall mounting bracket and clip the Thermostat to the wall, as follows:

1.Attach the wall mounting bracket to a suitable wall using the fittings supplied and the built in level.

Note: For best results mount the iT500 Thermostat 1.5m from ground level.

2.After first ensuring that the bracket is secure, clip the iT500 Thermostat into place by aligning the recess on the back of the unit to the bracket and clipping into place.

3.Once clipped into place, ensure the unit is securely seated on the bracket.

Alternatively, position the iT500 Thermostat on a flat surface, using the stand provided.

Simply clip the clear stand supplied separately into the back of the unit.

Pairing the iT500 System Units for the First Time

Once the iT500 Thermostat and the iT500RX Receiver are physically installed, the two units need to be ‘paired’. Pairing allows the two devices to recognise each other and to communicate wirelessly.

When powering on the iT500TR Thermostat for the first time, the Thermostat will go through the sequence of screens shown below and automatically try and pair by searching for the strongest signal from an iTG500 Gateway.

The units attempt to pair for 10 minutes and during this time,	icon will flash. Pairing should take
approximately 20 seconds.

Installing the iTG500 Gateway

Connecting to your Router

Using an RJ45 cable, connect the Gateway to your router (connected to the internet), connect the supplied power cable to the Gateway and plug it into the 230V power supply. When all the connections are completed, turn on the power supply. This is the first step in enabling you to control your central heating from outside of your home using your mobile phone or a remote computer.

The light on the router will flash red when it is first connected and setting up. When connected to the SALUS Controls Server it will display a constant green light.

Note: Check that your router is allowing the gateway access to both incoming and outgoing connections. See your router’s operation manual for details on security and TCP/UDP port settings.

1.The gateway requires a fixed IP address.

2.You require port 80 and 2165 UDP open.

3.Estimated use per month is 20mb.

iT500 User Reference Manual 21

Installing an iT300TX Temperature Sensor Transmitter (optional)

The iT300TX Temperature Sensor Transmitter is purchased separately. It is only used if your system supports two central heating zones. The unit is portable and should be located in the area of your home heated by the Zone 2 radiators.

1.Remove the battery cover on the back of the iT300TX.

2.Insert the 2x AAA batteries supplied into the iT300TX.

3.Replace the battery cover.

4.Attach the wall mounting bracket to a suitable wall using the fittings supplied.

5.Align the grooves on the back of the iT300TX and slide onto the bracket.

6.Once in place, ensure the unit is securely seated on the bracket.
