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 radia-tor 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.
- With the boost function, cool rooms can be heated within short by opening the heating valve fully. Thanks to the automatic “open window detection”, additional energy can be saved during ventilation.

Inserting (replacing) batteries
- Press the battery compartment cover on both sides with your fingers and remove the cover by pushing it downwards.
- Insert 2 new LR6/mignon/AA (1.5 V) batteries in the battery compartment, making sure they are the right way round.
- Reattach the battery compartment cover and latch it into place.
Set date and time
- After inserting batteries, the date and time is automatically requested after a brief display of the firmware version number and short motor run (“InS”).
- Set the year, month, day, hour and minute with the control wheel and confirm by pressing the control wheel shortly (F).
Installation on the radiator
- The radiator thermostat is easy to install and can be done without draining heating water or intervening in the heating system.
- No special tools are required, nor does the heating have to be switched off.
- 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.
Support ring and adapter for Danfoss
- If required, place the provided support ring (I) into the flange before mounting the radiator thermostat to improve on stability.
- The provided adapter is required for installation on Danfoss RA valves. The Danfoss valve bodies have elongated notches (K) around their circumference, which also ensure that the adapter is properly seated when it snaps on.
- During installation, please ensure that the pins inside the adapter (J) are lined up with the notches (K) 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!
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.
Display content in normal mode
- Switching time periods, operating mode, setpoint temperature, and weekday are displayed in normal mode.
- The bars for switching time periods of the week program are displayed for every second-time interval.

- After the radiator thermostat has been mounted and set up, the device can be individually operated and configured.
- Operation and configuration can be performed either via BLUETOOTH® with the app “calor BT” or directly on the device.
Operation and configuration via app
- To control the device via app, please proceed as follows:
- Download the app “calor BT” from the iOS or Android store and install the app on your smartphone.
- Follow the instructions in the app.
