Sunvic TLX6001 RFPV Wireless Programmable Thermostat
What is a programmable room thermostat?
A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature, switching the heating on when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching the heating off when the thermostat setting has been reached. A programmable room thermostat allows you to choose different room temperatures to be used at different times of the day and night. It also allows you to set different temperature profiles for each day of the week.
A programmable room thermostat does not switch your central heating off in the same way that a central heating programmer does. Instead, the boiler is always ready to provide heat if the air temperature falls below the current thermostat set temperature. Turning a programmable 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 the boiler and radiators. Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down. Turning a programmable room thermostat to a lower setting 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 low temperatures first, say 18°C, and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the temperatures. You won’t have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustments above these settings will waste energy and cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one programmable 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.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in spring and autumn to the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time. You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating program, for example, ‘Override’, ‘Advance’, or ‘Boost’. These are explained in the manufacturer’s instructions. 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, and wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat from working properly.
TLX RFPv Room Thermostat
The TLX RFPv is a radio-frequency programmable room thermostat and receiver which allows the user to select two different temperatures, i.e. comfort & economy, for different times of the day. The thermostat can be configured for 7-day, 5-day/2-day, or 24hr programming and the user can select between eight pre-defined temperature profiles. Six of the pre-defined temperature profiles can be modified by the user to meet their particular requirements. Thermostat position: To be placed at a height of 1.5m from the floor. Do not position on an outside wall, above a radiator, next to a door, or in direct sunlight.
For fixed wiring only
Disconnect the mains supply before fitting the receiver, or removing the unit from the back plate. A switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring as a means of fully disconnecting the main supply. An appropriate fuse should also be fitted to the circuit.
Installation
N.B. All installations should be carried out by a competent person and in line with current wiring regulations
- Remove the back plate from the receiver by loosening the retaining screw at the bottom of the unit.
- Choose a suitable place near the boiler. Fix the back plate to the wall with screws, 3mm max
- Route wires through the back of the back plate and connect wires to the receiver in accordance with the diagram on page 3 (fig.2) and current Wiring Regulations
- Position the receiver into the back plate and tighten the retaining screw at the bottom of the unit.
WARNING
The cover must not be removed unless the thermostat is isolated from the electrical supply. INTERFERENCE WITH SEALED PARTS RENDERS THE GUARANTEE VOID
Initial set-up
Remove the battery cover from the back of the unit and insert 4 x AA batteries into the room thermostat. The display will power up to show the day of the week
(Mon), the time (0:00), the current room temperature e.g. 21.0oC, the Default Program Value (P1), the Sun symbol (
), and the temperature profile, indicated by black squares along the bottom of the display. It may also show a fan symbol if the actual room temperature is lower than 21oC.
Setting the time

Program
Program selection
To program the RFPv using the ‘Default Program Values’:
- Press the ‘Prog’ key once. The day/days of the week will flash.
- To select the days to be programmed press the or ‘’ keys to scroll through & select either Mon to Fri, Sat & Sun, Mon to Sun, or each day individually.
- When a selection is made press the ‘Prog’ key once and the ‘P’ symbol will flash. This enables one of the “Default Program Values”, P1 to P8, to be selected (see Fig. 1).
- Press the’’ or ‘’ key to select a ‘Default Program Value’ to be applied to the time period selected at step (b).
- Press ‘Prog’ twice to confirm your selection or wait for 15 seconds to exit automatically.
- If you selected 7 days, Mon to Sun, at step (b) programming is now complete and all 7 days will use the same program. If you selected Mon to Fri you now need to program Sat & Sun. Repeat steps (a) to (e). If you selected an individual day you now need to program the remaining six days by repeating steps (a) to (e) for each day.
Program setting
Creating your own program values:
- The line at the bottom of the display, marked from 00 to 24 is the ‘Time Line’ which is divided into 1hr time segments. If a segment is represented by a solid black square ‘
’ the thermostat will use the sun’s temperature during that time segment. When no black square is visible in a segment the thermostat will use the Moon’s temperature during that time segment. Programs P1 to P6 can be altered by switching solid black segments on or off to create your own program values. (P7 & P8 can’t be altered) To create your own program values press ‘Prog’ twice until the ‘P’ symbol flashes then press the’’ or ‘’ key to select a Default Program that is as close to your desired
program as possible (see Fig. 1). - Press ‘Prog’ and the number ‘0’ will appear in the display. A black flashing square will also appear at the LH side of the timeline at position’ 00’ (the number shown in the display corresponds to the position of the flashing black square
on the timeline) - To add a black segment or to keep an existing black segment anywhere along the timeline, the sun’s symbol must be visible in the display. To remove a black segment or to keep an existing blank segment, the Moon’s symbol must be visible in the display. Pressing the key toggles between Sun’ and Moon’s modes.
- Pressing the ‘’ ’’ keys will move the flashing black square along the timeline. If the Sun ‘ ’ symbol is visible, each time the flashing square is moved it will switch the time segment on and turn it solid black ‘’ (if the segment is already black it will remain black). If the Moon symbol is visible, each time the flashing square is moved it will switch the time segment off and delete the solid black square (if the segment is already clear it will remain clear). In this way, segments can be switched on or off to create a program to suit individual needs.
- When you are happy with your program press ‘Prog’ to confirm or wait 15 seconds to exit automatically. The program number that you have re-programmed can now be selected for any day of the week (see ‘Program selection’)
