INSTALLATION

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR RD16
The RD16 controller should be mounted on an internal wall approximately 1.5 meters from floor level and should be in a position away from draughts, direct heat and sunlight.

INSTALLING THE RD16
The thermostat requires a one gang back box having a minimum depth of 35mm.

• Remove the front screen from the back of the thermostat by turning over so it looks like picture A. Now with your fingers holding the white front screen gently push the back down using your thumbs. The black metal plate and the wire connection block should move together and end up like picture B.

• The back and front will now gently pull apart (NO FORCE REQUIRED) exposing the connecting plug and cable. Gently remove the plug and cable from the back of the front
  screen. You will now have two parts looking similar to picture3
• Wire the thermostat as per diagram to the right making sure all the terminals are done up tightly. Do NOT exceed total load of 16A. Loads greater than 16A should be controlled via a suitably rated contactor or relay box.

OPTIONAL REMOTE SENSORS

• There are 4 types of remote sensors that can be used with the RD16 thermostat

• If you are using a remote sensor this is wired into terminals 5 and 6 (Polarity of the sensor does not matter).
• You will also need to change the default settings once the thermostat is powered up.

Default settings – changes
Using section 5 of these instructions change default setting “A4” so that it is set to “N2” external sensor.

RE-ASSEMBLING OF THE FRONT SCREEN

• Once all the connections have been made, make sure the arrow on the back plate faces upwards and secure to the back box using two screws. See Picture 1 to the right.
• Reconnect lead to the front screen. Note:- The plug only fits one way around so don’t force it. Place the front screen onto the back plate so that the bottom of the back plate is showing as per Picture 2 below
• Slide down the front screen until it clips into position. See Picture 3 to the right.

CHANGING THE MASTER / DEFAULT SETTINGS
There are various master / default settings that can be changed by entering the default settings. To enter these settings, turn off the thermostat by pressing the button. Then press and hold the button for 3-5 seconds until the A1 appears on the screen. You are now in settings mode and if you don’t press any button for 5 seconds the display reverts back to off mode. Press button to switch to next option and press buttons to adjust the data. If you wish to exit the settings without waiting 5 seconds press the button.

USING AS A CONVENTIONAL THERMOSTAT

It is easy to set up your RD16 thermostat to operate as a simple, conventional thermostat without the need to programme different times and temperatures. There are 2 steps.

• Set the temperature required – Refer to “Run Modes” on page 3 and use manual mode, then select the required temperature by using the buttons.
• Lock the thermostat – Refer to “Locking the controller” on page 3. Locking the thermostat will disable all the buttons except the on/off button. If you want to disable the on/off button as well, you will need to change the default lock settings before starting this process (see section 5).

SENSOR FAULT CODES

E1 or E2 fault codes are displayed if the sensors are faulty or are not connected. The thermostat will stop heating until the fault is corrected. If in the master settings shown overleaf, you have selected N2 or N3 for option A4 (Sensors used) you MUST have an external sensor present and working otherwise the display will show fault code E2 and will not work
