Product Overview

The RT520 room thermostat simply switches the heating system on and off as necessary. It 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.
Turning a room thermostat 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 room thermostat to a lower setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy.
The heating system will not work if a time switch or programmer has switched it off.
The way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature setting that you are comfortable with, 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 18⁰C – and then turn it up by one degree 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.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one room thermostat to control the whole house. But you can have different temperatures 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, you can choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other rooms by adjusting the TRVs.
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 prevent the thermostat from working properly.
Thermostat is compatibile with OpenTherm OT+ 4.0 version. The OpenTherm protocol is an open standard communication protocol used in central heating systems for two-way communication between a central heating boiler and a room thermostat. Thanks to the communication protocol, the boiler power is modulated, which can significantly increase the energy efficiency of the heating system while maintaining the set temperature in the room. OpenTherm modulation, compared to standard communication (ON / OFF), occurs by setting the desired temperature of water from the boiler (boiler power), and not by its cyclical switching on and off.

PLEASE NOTE! Make sure your gas combi boiler is compatible with OT + 4.0 communication protocol.
The list of compatible boilers is on the next page.

Product advantages:

• automatically detects OT + 4.0 protocol and regulates hot water temperature
• possibility to choose Hysteresis or built-in TPI algorithm for all types of heating
• works with time schedules
• service mode protected by a PIN code
• maximum / minimum temperature limitation
• can temporarily change the temperature (overwriting until the next program change)

Montage

Package content

1. RT520 thermostat
2. Back housing
3. 2x AA batteries
4. Short instruction
5. Mounting screws

Proper thermostat location

Please note: 
The ideal position to thermostat mounting is about 1,5m under floor level far from heating or cooling sources. Thermostat can’t be exposed to sunlight or any extreme conditions like for example draft.
Because of fire and explosion risk there is not allowed to use thermostat in atmosphere of explosive gases and flammable liquids (eg coal dust). In case if any of listed dangers occur you have to use additional protection measures – anti-dust and explosive gases (tight cover) or prevent their formation. Furthermore, thermostat can’t be used in condensation of water vapor conditions and be exposed to water action.

First power up sequence and configuration

Please make the receiver connections and power the receiver before inserting the batteries into the thermostat.

TPI (Time Proportional & Integral) is a self-learning, time-proportional algorithm. TPI type of regulation ensures economical system operation through more accurate temperature maintenance during controlling process and limits overload conditions. In addition to the exact and stable room temperature, the advantage of this system is the minimization of energy consumption and significant savings. RT520 offers 3 types of TPI control: 1. for radiator (6CPH); 2. for underfloor heating (3CPH); 3. for electric heating (9CPH).

Span is the difference between the measured temperature and the set temperature.

The optimization function is an energy-saving algorithm used for efficient control of the heating device, ensuring better thermal comfort at certain times of the day. When the OPTIMUM START function is active, the thermostat sends a heating signal to the heat source beforehand so that the preset temperature in the room is reached at the time specified in the schedule.

When the OPTIMUM STOP function is active, the thermostat, taking into account the inertia of the system, switches off the heat source earlier, keeping the temperature set in the schedule.

OpenTherm – Hot Water configuration

RT520 can be configured in Hot Water OPENTHERM system. To configure it follow steps below:

User settings

Manual mode

In manual mode, the thermostat maintains a constant temperature set by the user. To exit mode, press and hold button for 3 seconds. A hand icon is displayed when manual mode is active.

Schedule mode – programming schedule

In this mode, user can set the schedules for thermostat (temperature setpoints for specific periods of time). Programmed schedules should use all time periods.

Switching between manual and schedule mode

In this option, user can switch between manual and schedule mode by using button. To do that please follow steps below:

BOOST mode – hourly temperature override (+Hr)

The function is available in automatic and manual mode. Used to change the temperature to the desired value for a specified number of hours (up to 9 hours). After the elapsed time, the thermostat returns to the previous operating mode.

How to stop BOOST mode:

Holiday mode is a special program temperature setpoint which thermostat will maintain for specified days. How to set HOLIDAY MODE:

Language

To choose language follow steps below:

Factory Reset

To RESET RT520 thermostat to it’s factory default settings please follow steps below:

Error codes

Thermostat will display errors only when it’s connected to the boiler by OPENTHERM terminals (A / B). Please refer then to boiler manual. Each boiler can have different error codes.

Battery change

Turn the thermostat over so that the back is in front of you. Now look at the picture below:

Cleaning and Maintenance
