3. Technical Description
The regulation box consists of a wall insulation box with a pre-mounted valve module, an electro­thermal actuator, a protective cap, an air vent plug, a flowmeter for measuring and regulating the volu­me flow and a wall cover. The valve module is provided with a 3/4“ male thread (Euro taper) for a connection via Simplex compression adapter on the pipe side. The valve is comfortable activated with the room temperature controller RTL-TH DIGITAL. This programmable temperature controller allows programming switching events (up to 9 per day) and temperatures according to personal needs. Aer installation the device automatically shows the time of day and the room temperature. In AUTO mode, the heater will be automatically acti­vated according to programmed time and tempera­ture. Program 1 is the default pre-set program (see 8. room temperature controller). Room temperature will be regulated based on the
Work on heating systems must only be done by qualified professional personnel and in accordance with the respective applicable regulations, guidelines and rules of engineering.

1. Features
room temperature. The return flow temperature of the surface heating (measured by the remote sensor) will be limited. The heater will be switched on when the room temperature drops below the current set-point. In case of function „Min Return Temp“ (H3) it will be heated if the return temperature drops below the set min-value. This is even when the room temperature is too high (permanent floor temperature). In case of function „Max Return Temp“ (H3) heating will be stopped if the return temperature exceeds the set max-value. This is even when the room temperature is too low. Adjusting the maximum return temperature „Max Return Temp“ (H3) is absolutely necessary for re­liable and troublefree operation because otherwise
there might be damage to the floor structure!
Caution:
The maximum permissible supply flow tempera­ture of the surface heating must be respected.

Note for arranging the regulating box in rooms with showers or bathtubs:
The regulation box has to be arranged outside of the zones 0, 1 and 2 in conformity with DIN VDE 0100-701 to prevent contact with splashing water.
Prepare the insulation box for the mounting by inserting the fixing clips from the backside into the drill holes at the corner points of the box and securing them with the supplied screws so that
they cannot fall out.
The fixing clips are arranged crossed-over. The clips can also be exchanged in any way depending upon the construction site situation. The clips can be moved horizontally in order to create a depth compensation as long as the screws have not been finally fixed.
The box is positioned to fixing clips on the rough wall in a suiciently large wall recess (approx. 180 x 230 mm). Please pay attention to the mark of the protective cap to the surface of the finished wall in order to adjust the box optimally in the depth. Aerwards fix the box with the adjusting screws.

Before the connection of the pipings, the notches on the box are to be formed by breaking out the walls at the corresponding positions.
2 of 12
Please pay attention to a tension-free installation and the correct flow direction (supply flow le
- see arrow mark!) when connecting the piping system. Reversely mounted connections cause valve noises and a bad control behaviour. Tension-free compression connection must also be guaranteed when the system is in operation, i.e. expansion loops or appropriate securing of the pipeline must be provided.
Before starting the plaster and wall covering works, the box is to be covered with a protective cap. The remaining space between the box and
the wall notch can be filled with PU foam.

Aer finishing the wall covering works, the final mounting is done by removing the protective cap and putting on the wall cover.

6. Ventilation
The system can be ventilated as necessary using the ventilation valve installed.
7. Flowmeter
Flowmeter regulating valve for the regulating the vo­lume flow. The upper part of the valve consists of a valve cone with a rising spindle and a handwheel for adjustment. The sight glass is installed in the hand wheel where the flow can be read directly in L/min on the printed scale depending upon the position of indicator unit. The adjustment on the flowmeter can be blocked by the delivered stop cap and sealed if desired.
Volume Flow Regulation
Remove the lock cap. The control is performed by turning the black handwheel whereby the valve cone will be turned down when turning to the right. The volume flow will decrease until reaching the complete blocking. The opening of the valve is per­formed by turning it in the opposite direction.
Cleaning Flowmeter
The sight glass and measuring spring can be re­moved for maintenance and cleaned, even at full system pressure. In order to do so, hold the black
5 of 12
hand wheel firmly and turn to the le to remove the sight glass.
Do not use any tools when removing the sight glass! Risk of breakage!
Unscrew the sight glass quickly and removed, toge­ther with the spring located inside. The flowmeter locks automatically once the sight glass and spring have been removed. In this condition, there may be some slight water loss from the valve. Clean the sight glass quickly and screw together again in the opposite order.

Troubleshooting
1. It is getting warm too late: a. Are clock and program events set correctly? b. Is the „Optimum Start“ feature switched on? (see H7)
Did the controller had enough time (serveral days) to adapt to the room’s characteristics? c. Is an automatic change between Summer and Winter time activated? (see G5)
2. The controller does not accept any changes: Is access protection switched on? (see G6)
3. The range of temperature setting is limited: Are temperature limits set (see G7)
4. Temperature display doesn‘t change: Is display of set-temperature activated ? (see G10)
5. The room heats up too slow: The return temperature may be limited from the controller‘s
max-limiter (see H3).
6. The room becomes too warm: The return temperature may be limited from the controller‘s Min-limiter. (see H3)

Limits the return temperature. Selectable is: Minimum return temperature (lower limit):
The valve is opened when the selected water temperature falls below and closes automatically when it reaches the programmed temperature limit (constant floor tempering). OFF = no limit
Maximum return temperature (upper limit):
The valve is closed when the selected return temperature is rea­ched and opens automatically when it falls below the program­med temperature limit.
e.g. Min. temp. = 21 °C, the heating water does not sink below 21 °C
even if the room is too warm. Max. temp. = 35 °C, the heating water does not rise above 35 °C, even if the room is too cold.
If the lower limit is not needed it should be set to OFF.
