TLX 6001RFPv PROGRAMMABLE ROOM THERMOSTAT
What is a programmable room
thermostat?
A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature,
switching the heating on wh e n th e air temperature falls below
the thermostat setting and switching the heating off wh en t h e
thermostat setting has been reached.
A programmable room thermostat allows you to choose
different room temper atures to be used at differe nt ti m es of the
day and night. It also allows you to set different temperature
profiles for each day of the week.
A programmable room thermostat does not switch your central
heating off in the same way that a central heating programmer
does. Instead, the boile r is alw ays ready to provide heat if the
air temperature falls below the current thermostat set
temperature.
Turning a programmabl e r o om t he r m o stat to a higher setting
will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the
room heats up depends on the design of the heating system,
for example, the size of boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools
down. Turning a programmable room thermo stat to a lower
setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower
temperature, and sav e s e n ergy.
The way to set and use your programmable room thermost at is
to find the lowest temperature settings that you are
comfortable with at th e different times you have chosen, and
then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to
set low temperatures first, say 18°C, and then turn them up by
one degree each day unt il you are comfortabl e wi th t he
temperatures. You won't have to adjust the thermostat further.
Any adjustments above these settings will waste energy and
cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will
usually be only one programmable room thermostat to control
the whole house. But you can have different tem p e rat u r e s in
individual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves
(TRVs) on individual radiators. If you don't have TRVs, you
should choose a temperature that is reasonable for the whole
house. If you do have TRVs, y o u ca n ch oose a slightly higher
setting to make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable,
then prevent any overhea t i ng in other rooms by adjusting t h e
TR V s.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types
have to be adjusted in spring and aut umn at the changes
between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.
You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme,
for example, 'Overri de ', 'A dv ance' or 'Boost'. These are
explained in the manufacturer's instructions.
Programmable room th er m ost ats need a free flow of air to
sense the temperature, s o th ey m ust n ot be cove re d by
curtains or blocked by furnit ur e. Ne arby electric fires,
televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat
from working properly.
TLX RFPv Room Thermostat
The TLX RFPv is a radio-frequency programmable room
thermostat and receiver which allows the user to select two
different temperatures, i.e. comfort & economy, for differen t
times of the day. The thermostat can be configured for
7day, 5day/2day or 24hr programming and the user can
select between eight pre-defined temperature profiles. Six
of the pre-defined temperature profiles can be modi fied by
the user to meet their particular requirements.
Thermostat position: To be placed at a height of 1.5m
from the floor. Do not position on an outside wall, above a
radiator, next to a door, or in direct sunlight.
For fixed wiring only
Disconnect mains supply before fitting receiver, or
removing unit from back plate. A switch having a contact
separation of at least 3mm in all poles must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring as a means of fully
disconnecting the mains supply. An appropriate fuse
should also be fitted to the circuit.
Installation
N.B. All installations should be carried out by a
competent person and in line with current wiring
regulations
1 Remove the back plate from the receiver by
loosening the retaining screw at the bottom of the
unit.
2 Choose a suitable place near to the boiler. Fix the
back plate to the wall with screws, 3mm max
3 Route wires through the back of the back plate
and connect wires to the receiver in accordance
with the diagram on page 3 (fig.2) and current
Wiring Regulations
4 Position receiver into back plate and ti gh ten th e
retaining screw at the bottom of th e unit.
The cover must not be removed unless the
thermostat is isolated from the electrical supply.

Resetting factory defaults
To reset the unit to its factory default condition press and
hold the ‘OFF’ button wh ile pressing & releasing the
‘RESET’ button.
Low power indication / changing the batteries
A low power symbol “ ” will be displayed when the
power is below 1.3V. Replace all 4 batteries together. You
will now need to reset the time; however, the temperature
and program settings will not be affected.
Program
Program selection
To program the RFPv using the ‘Default Program Values’:
a) Press the ‘Prog’ key once. The day/days of the week will
flash.
b) To select the days to be programmed press the ’V’ or
‘U’ keys to scroll through & select either Mon to Fri, Sat &
Sun, Mon to Sun, or each day individually.
c) When a selection is made press the ‘Prog’ key once and
the ‘P’ symbol will flash. This enables one of the “Default
Program Values”, P1 to P8, to be selected (see fig.1).
d) Press ’V’ or ‘U’ key to select a ‘Default Program
Value’ to be applied to the time period selected at step (b).
e) Press ‘Prog’ twice to confirm your selection or wait 15
seconds to exit automatically.
f) If you selected 7 days, Mon to Sun, at step (b)
programming is now complete and all 7 days will use the
same program. If you selected Mon to Fri you now need to
program Sat & Sun. Repeat steps (a) to (e). If you selected
an individual day you now need to program the remaining
six days by repeating steps (a) to (e) for each day.
Program setting
Creating your own program values:
a) The line at the bottom of the display, marked from 00 to
24 is the ‘Time Line’ whi c h is divided into 1hr time
segments. If a segment is represented by a solid blac k
square ‘’ the thermostat will use the Sun ‘
during that time segment . When no black square is visible
in a segment the thermostat will use the Moon ‘
temperature during that time segment. Programs P1 to P6
can be altered by switching solid black segments on or off
to create your own program va lues. (P7 & P8 can’t be
altered)
b) To create your own program values press ‘Prog’ twice
until the ‘P’ symbol flashes then press ’V’ or ‘U’ key to
select a Default Program that is as close to your desired
program as possible (see fig.1).
c) Press ‘Prog’ and the number ‘0’ will appear in the
display. A black flashing square will also appear at the
LH side of the time line at p osition’ 00’ (the number shown
in the display corresponds to the position of the flashing
black square on the time line)
d) To add a black segment or to keep an existing black
segment anywhere along the time line , th e Sun ‘
must be visible in the display. To remove a black segment
or to keep an existing blank segment, the Moon ‘
must be visible in the display. Pressing the “
toggles between Sun ‘
e) Pressing the ‘U’ ’V’ keys will move the flashing black
square along the time line. If the Sun ‘
each time the flashing square is moved it will switch the
time segment on and turn it solid black ‘’ (if the segment
is already black it will remain black ). If the Moon ‘
symbol is visible, each time the flashing square is moved it
will switch the time segment off and delete the solid black
square (if the segment is already clear it will remain clear).
In this way segments can be switched on or off to create a
program to suit individual needs.
g) When you are happy with your program press ‘Prog’ to
confirm or wait 15 seconds to exit automatically. The
program number that you have re-programmed can now be
selected for any day of the week (see ‘Program selection’)
