Heatmisser Slimline-RF Kit V3 Wireless Thermostat
What is a Programmable Room Thermostat?
A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set “On” and “Off” periods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached. So a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it should reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different temperatures in your home at different times of the day (and days of the week) to meet your particular needs and preferences. Setting a programmable room thermostat to a higher temperature will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design and size of the heating system. Similarly reducing the temperature setting does not affect how quickly the room cools down. Setting a programmable room thermostat to a lower temperature will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy. The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with at the different times you have chosen, and then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to set the room thermostat to a low temperature – say 18°C , and then turn it up by 1°C each day until you are comfortable with the temperature. You won’t have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustment above this setting will waste energy and cost you more money. You are able to temporarily adjust the heating program by overriding or using the temperature hold feature. These features are explained further on pages 17 and 18 of this manual. Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may also prevent the thermostat from working properly.
Installation Procedure
Do
- Mount the thermostat at eye level.
- Read the instructions fully so you get the best from our product.
Don’t
- Do not install near to a direct heat source as this will affect functionality. Do not push hard on the LCD screen as this may cause irreparable damage.
The neoStat V2 is designed to be flush mounted and requires a back box of 35mm (minimum depth) to be sunk into the wall prior to installation.
- Step 1 Using a small screwdriver, slightly loosen the screw from the bottom face of the thermostat. Then carefully separate the front half from the back plate.
- Step 2 Place the thermostat front somewhere safe. Terminate the thermostat as shown in the diagrams on pages 28-31 of this booklet. Note: For time clock wiring connections, terminate as shown on page 38.
- Step 3 Screw the thermostat back plate securely into the back box.
- Step 4 Clip the front of the thermostat onto the back plate, securing it in place with the retaining screw.

Optional Features Explained
FEATURES 1 – 4 AND 10 – 17 ARE OPTIONAL AND IN MOST CASES NEED NOT BE ADJUSTED
- Feature 01 – Temperature Format: This function allows you to select between °C and °F.
- Feature 02 – Switching Differential: This function allows you to increase the switching differential of the thermostat. The default is 1°C which means that with a set temperature of 20°C, the thermostat will switch the heating on at 19°C and off at 20°C. With a 2°C differential, the heating will switch on at 18°C and off at 20°C.
- Feature 03 – Frost Protect: You can set whether the thermostat will maintain the frost temperature when the thermostat display is turned off. As a default, this is enabled.
- Feature 04 – Frost Protect Temperature: This is the temperature maintained when the thermostat is in frost mode. The range is 07 – 17°C. The default is 12°C and is suitable for most applications.
- Feature 05 – Output Delay: To prevent rapid switching, and output delay can be entered. This can be set from 00 – 15 minutes. The default is 00 which means there is no delay.
- Feature 06 – UH8-RF or RF-Switch receiver: The thermostat can work with our UH8-RF 8 zone wiring centre or RF-Switch receiver. This setting determines which is being used.
- Feature 07 – Receiver Address: Within one building, up to 99 UH8-RF’s or 32 RF-Switch’s can be used. Each RF-Switch must have a unique receiver address (01-32).
- Feature 08 – Zone Number (UH8-RF only): This is the zone number you are assigning the thermostat to on the UH8-RF. Zone 01 – 08.
- Feature 09 – Underfloor Heating or Radiator Zone (UH8-RF Only): This setting determines whether the thermostat will activate the pump & boiler output on the UH8-RF. If set to 00 the outputs will be activated. 00 = UFH, 01 = Radiators
- Feature 10 – Fail Safe: If enabled, the thermostat will send a signal to the receiver every 20 minutes. Should the receiver fail to receive two signals, the receiver will activate the output for 20% of the time. This is to protect the system against a loss of wireless signal and in case the thermostat battery fails whilst you are away.
- Feature 11 – Temperature Up/Down Limit: This function allows you to limit the use of the up and down keys. This limit is also applicable when the thermostat is locked and so allows you to give others limited control over the heating system.
- Feature 12 – Air Sensor Selection: On this thermostat, you can select which sensor should be used – built in sensor or remote air sensor.
- Feature 13 – Not used on this model.
- Feature 14 – Optimum Start: Optimum start will delay the start up of the heating system to the latest possible moment to avoid unnecessary heating and ensure the building is warm at the programmed time. The thermostat uses the rate of change information to calculate how long the heating needs to raise the building temperature 1°C (with a rate of change of 20, the thermostat has calculated the heating needs 20 minutes to raise the building temperature 1°C) and starts the heating accordingly.
- Feature 15 – Rate of Change: For information only.
- Feature 16 – 5/2 Day or 7 Day Programming: The thermostat offers 2 programming methods. Weekday/Weekend allows you to program 4 comfort levels for the weekdays and 4 different comfort levels for the weekend. In 7 Day program mode, each day has 4 comfort levels that can be programmed independently.
- Feature 17 – Thermostat Mode: Here you can set in which mode you would like the thermostat to operate. The options are, manual (non-programmable), programmable, or programmable with hot water time clock.
