Ensure that the xed wiring connections to the mains supply is via a fuse rated

at not more than 16 amps and a class ‘A’ switch having a contact separation of a
minimum of 3mm in all poles.

RF ADDRESS CODE SETTING

The thermostat and receiver are automatically paired when you
receive them, however, if there is another unit nearby (e.g. in a
neighbours home) the receiver may trigger their transmitter.

To avoid this you can change the RF address code on both the
thermostat and transmitter. To do this open up both and change
the DIP-switches inside each. Both must match each other in
order to communicate.

WEE/JH0069TY

A programmable thermostat differs from a programmer that you may be used to.
With this thermostat you do not set on and off times. Instead you are setting your
desired temperature at varying points throughout the day. This means your home
will always be comfortably warm when needed but you will not be wasting energy
(and money) heating your home when it’s not required.

If your thermostat is set to 21°C, for example, your boiler will run until the
thermostat reads over that temperature and then tell the boiler to turn off,
meaning you won’t be calling for heat when your home is already at your desired
temperature.

When you set a temperature you are saying you don’t want the heating to come on
unless the room temperature is lower than the set temperature.

CHANGING THE BATTERIES

When the Baery Low warning sign
appears on the display, replace the
baeries immediately.

Flip to open the baery compartment
on the plasc housing.

Lower compartment

RECEIVER

If LED is permanently lit no RF
signal is being found. Heang will
turn o aer 10 minutes if no RF
transmission resumes. Aer the
RF signal is recognised the heang
schedule will connue.

This LED indicates if a signal
is being sent to the boiler to
turn on. Blue light indicates the
boiler should be ring.

Manual buon. If RF signal fails, for
example if the baeries in the thermostat
are at, this buon can turn the heang on
and o.

The Choice RSTAT5 RF comprises of a portable battery powered thermostat
(transmitter) and a separate wall mounted mains relay box (receiver). The
transmitter should be located in the main living area and the receiver is mounted
close to the boiler.

This programmable room thermostat has been designed to bring you comfort and
energy economy. It allows you to program and regulate your heating system using
up to 6 programmable events per day.

To ensure its correct operation the thermostat should be mounted or situated

approximately 1.3m above the oor and away from direct sunlight, heat sources and

drafts.

INTRODUCTION

What is switching dierenal?

Without a switching dierenal your boiler would
stop the instant it reached the desired temperature
then start to fall where it would instantly kick back in
again and be stuck switching your boiler on and o
repeatedly. A switching dierenal creates a band
around the temperature to allow the set temperature
to be maintained. We recommend using 0.5°C unless
you have a specic reason not to.

DEFAULT PROGRAM

The Choice RSTAT5 RF comes preset with a default program so that you can get up
and running straight away. Each day is split into 6 parts each one can have it’s me or
temperature changed to suit you.

CUSTOM PROGRAM

Most users will want to alter these mes to suit their own circumstances. A good starng
point is to think about the parts like so:

MORN: When does the first person in your home get up?
DAY: When does the last person leave in the morning?

Noon: If anyone is home at lunchtime, when?
Break: and when do they leave again?

EVEN: What time does the first person get back home in the afternoon/evening?
NIGHT: What time is everyone in your home in bed?

and when thinking about temperatures:

When people are home: Set depending on your minimum desired comfortable
temperature. (see below for more details)

When no-one is home: Set depending on how quickly your home heats up.
At night: The heang should be lowered, cooler temperatures help you sleep.

What temperature should I heat my home to?

Turning your room temperature down just one degree can have signicant
savings on your energy bill. A good way to get the right temperature for you is
to start at 21°C, leave it for a week and lower 1°C. Repeat this process unl you
noce it being a lile too cool and turn it back up 1°C. You now have the lowest
possible comfortable seng.

CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE FOR A SET NUMBER OF HOURS

You can also set the thermostat to hold at the temperature you want for a dened
number of hours.

1. Press M to enter override mode then select temperature using ▼▲ and press Ok.

2. Select number of hours using ▼▲ and press Ok.

3. Comfort Override, Temp. Set & Hours, with the hours remaining, are shown on the
display.

To cancel seng and return to normal operaon press Ok.

CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE

To manually change the temperature temporarily you simply press the raise or lower
buons to the desired level, if le alone this will stay set unl the next programmed
change at which point it returns back to the original schedule.

1. Choose desired temperature using ▼▲

To cancel seng early and return to normal operaon press Ok.

one day into another, or several other, days.

1. Press Set x2 to enter copy mode.

2. Choose the ‘Copy’ day using ▲ and press Ok.

3. Choose the ‘Paste’ day using ▲ and press Ok.

4. Repeat step as required for further ‘Paste’ days
At any point Press Ok x2 to return to Run Mode

RESET UNIT

To erase all current se ngs and return to it’s factory

to normal opera on if no bu ons are pressed for 30
seconds.

To exit programming mode either wait 30 seconds or
press Set x2 and Ok.

NB: Each day’s end  me is 11:59 in 12hr or 23:59 in 24hr
formats. P6 should never be set for midnight as this will
cause an error in programming.

Each day of the week can be programmed separately,
star ng with Monday (Mo)

1. Press Set to enter programming mode.

2. Set Mo MORN temperature using ▼▲ and press Ok.

3. Set Mo MORN  me using ▼▲ and press Ok.

4. Set Mo DAY temperature using ▼▲ and press Ok.

5. Set Mo DAY  me using ▼▲ and press Ok.

CUSTOM PROGRAM cont...

Below shows the programming segments of the default program on a Weekday.

Held over from previous

day’s setting

.

Essen ally, if the thermostat reads the temperature below the chosen temperature it will
send a message for the boiler to  re and your hea ng to come on.

The above diagram shows how the day is split up into named parts but BOTH the  mes
and temperatures are changeable. Using the programming instruc ons that follow you
can set the  me each part starts and the temperature it will set to at that point. As can be
seen the NIGHT se ng carries over & stays un l the MORN  me the following day.

If you don’t need a certain program to be there, for example you do not require Noon as
no one is home at that  me of the day, then you simply set that program for the same
temperature as the one before - as it cannot be deleted. There must be 6 programmed
events each day even if they are set to the same temperature.
