Function

The electric BLUETOOTH® Smart Radiator Thermostat offers individual control of the room temperature from a user-friendly and intuitive app. The app “calor BT” is available for free for iOS and Android smartphones. The radiator thermostat enables the regulation of single radiators or the room temperature. Thanks to pre-programmed or individually tailored heating and cooling phases, the desired temperature can be comfortably adjusted. The radiator thermostat fits to all common radiator valves and is easy to mount – without having to drain any water or intervene in the heating system. The additional boost function enables quick, short-term radiator heating by opening the valve for 5 minutes. This immediately brings a comfortable warming to the room. Thanks to the automatic “open window detection”, additional energy can be saved during ventilation.

Operation and configuration

• After the programming has been completed, “InS” is shown again in the display and installation can take place.

Installation on the radiator

• The radiator thermostat is easy to install where thermostatic valves have previously been fitted, and can be done without draining heating water or intervening in the heating system. No special tools are required, and the heating does not have to be switched off.
• It is recommended to install the device while radiators / pipes are not hot.
• The union nut attached to the radiator thermostat can be used universally and without accessories for valves of the most popular manufacturers with a thread size of M30 x 1.5 mm.
• Rotate the thermostat dial to the maximum value (anti-clockwise).
• The thermostat dial then no longer presses against the valve spindle, making it easier to remove.
• Remove the mechanical thermostat head. If required, place the supplied support ring or adapter first.
• Attach the radiator thermostat to the valve

Adapters for Danfoss

• By means of the adapters included in the package, the device can be installed on radiator valves of types Danfoss RA, RAV and RAVL.
• The assignment of the suitable adapter ring to the relevant valve can be found in the following illustrations.
• The Danfoss valve bodies have elongated notches (I) around their circumference (see arrow), which also ensure that the adapter is properly seated when it snaps on.
• If required, place the provided support ring (L) into the flange before installing the radiator thermostat.
• During installation, please ensure that the pins inside the adapter (J) are lined up with the notches (I) on the valve. Ensure that the adapter is properly clipped on.
• Take care during installation that you do not trap your fingers between the two halves of the adapter!

The RA and RAV adapters have been manufactured with pre-tension in order to provide a better seat. Use a screwdriver during installation if necessary, and bend it open slightly in the vicinity of the screw. After clipping onto the valve body, please attach the adapter using the provided screw and nut.

The spigot extension (K) must be fitted to the valve pin of RAV valves prior to installation.

The adapter RAVL does not have to be screwed.

Support ring
The valves from different manufacturers may have tolerance fluctuations that make the radiator thermostat more loosely seated on the valve. In this case, the provided support ring (L) should be placed into the flange before installing the radiator thermostat.

Adaption run

• After inserting batteries and mounting on the valve an adapting run (“AdA”) is performed to adapt to the valve.
• As soon as the radiator thermostat has been mounted to the valve, press the control wheel when “InS” is displayed. “AdA” and the activity symbol ( n) are displayed. During this time, no operation is possible.
• If the adaption run has been initiated prior to installing or if an error message (F1, F2, F3) is displayed, press the Boost button; the motor reverses to the “InS” position
