[@JoLovell-f3g]

HI. This was so helpful as my landlord has not left me the instruction book and it is seriously baffling if youve never used one before!!! can i please just ask - if the unit doesnt ask for a date how does the holiday function work? do you just press it when you are leaving and returning?

[@timeintheuk]

The dates in the time setting section of the menus if it's there that's where it is day date time I think

[@timeintheuk]

I've a few more vids on this as do other guys

Thanks. I think mine must be an old model.like in the video because it only has day and time no dates. Ill just put it on frost mode. It will just be chilly when we get back!!! Thanks for yourbhelp😊

Hi, I hope you can help. We have a Salus RT310RF which was fitted with our boiler at the time of installation. Our heating hasn't worked today and when I looked at the receiver the green auto light wasn't on, I turned it off an on again but the green light still didn't come on. I turned everything off, left it a while then switched it back on at the mains, still no green light. The green light works if I put it on manual. I have tried to pair it numerous times but still the green light won't come on in the auto position. Please can you help? What am I doing wrong? Many thanks

Don't.try.psiring.replace batterys turn below room temp them back above again 20 seconds after and repeat

Sounds great video looks great however there is no “tick” on my thermostat to fo this. When I managed to contact thus company a year ago they asked me via email to do these strops backwards ie you do program number six first but trying to get hold of them now to repeat these steps....waste of time and the thermostat turns on when it feels like it despite dates and times.

Hello! Thanks for this video. I've programmed a timer, but still the heating goes over my desired programme time. Is there a function to not run on thermostat? Just my programme time? Or do I need it to be on thermostat on to get the heating to be turned on?

Hi - I've tried to get Salus technology to help with a question without success. Hopefully you can 🤞I would like to delete some unwanted program timings. Salus said to find the program and press the delete button. They didn't say how to press delete though (is there even a delete button...?). It's an RT510TX

[@timeintheuk]

Hi why would you want to delete a time zone .anyway from memory as these units are old you have 6 . Simply do this set no 3 to 1159 and 14 degrees Set no 4 to 12 01 pm and the required temperature 🤒🌡️ Hope that helps

Thanks for the response. For some reason there are multiple timings throughout each setting and I would like to delete some of the timings. @@timeintheuk

Am i right in thinking that to turn off the heating i have to simultaneously press the up and down arrows for 3 secs. There is nothing in the info leaflet. I trawled net for an answer and thats what I got...tq

Nope

Hit the down arrow to below room temp to boost down or select frost function to keep heating off till autumn

[@mrobolance143]

Hi thanks for the vid! I have a question - for some reason my time schedule is not working. I've set it up exactly as you've said and have the receiver on and set to automatic (if set to manual the green light comes on and the floor heats up fine). But on automatic, when it reaches the on time e.g. 7am, the green light does not come on at the receiver and nothing heats up. Should the receiver have the green light on when the time is triggered?

[@timeintheuk]

Yes check it's not in manual check your settings

[@Mr.H52]

Presently my thermostat is on frost and 24oc..so no heating on but the receiver is showing red and no green light not until you switch it to manual till the green light shows why Is that?

[@timeintheuk]

Green light is demand signal light. You have no demand so no green light

[@Mr.H52]

@@timeintheuk thanks, so if I want to avoid the setting bit and keep it to simple manual, do I just push it to Manual to get the heating on and back to auto to switch the heating off?

Hi mate, just had one of these installed in my flat. Just wondering, is it more cost efficient to keep it on through the day but on a low-ish temperature or put it on manual and turn it on and off when I leave and come back to the flat?

Hi, firstly thanks, just got this today (sadly, as our old ideal controller is already being missed as this one seems rubbish in comparison) and the instructions for this made no sense to me so really grateful for the video. Is there a way of running this in a manual mode? Is Overide the equivalent of that? Not interested in the programs but just wanted to click it on and off as needed.

[@timeintheuk]

Up down arrows will boost or stop. just set a low 14 all night and 16 all day and boost as required . Keeping a min back ground temp in your home will cost you less .

Turn it down below room temp and leave for 60 seconds then back up to above room temp and see if green light comes on. Also your probably going to need to set the time and temp settings

Hi, do you know what the frost button is used for?? in what instance would i need to press that button ever? also, the +1 hour button, what temp does that tel the boiler to go up to??

[@timeintheuk]

OK you going for a holiday for 2 weeks in the med in Jan it's snow outside. But u don't want your heating on at full pelt for a empty house. But turning it off may allow your pipes to freeze. Putting it on frost will keep your house at 5 degrees so min heating input and no frozen pipes. Simple and useful for that reason

[@timeintheuk]

And the plus one hour gives you 1 more hour so say heating would normaly go off at 9pm it goes off at 10pm temps do not change

Salus have the rudest customer service helpline I have ever spoken to. I am reporting Salus to our boiler supplier, Imragas. I expect Salus to have an interest in keeping their customers with fully working products, not just to turn over a profit, as there customer advisor told me. I asked him straight out "So you're not interested in keeping your customers happy with a product that works to its specifications?" And all I got from Salus was "We're not interested in upgrading customers to a product that works better, because of a faulty unit, we will only replace your control unit with the same model" I replied "Even if that control unit has a warranty failure, and a terrible manual, and a horrible interface making up 90% of your service complaints?" Answer "Yes, we're not interested in keeping our customers happy like that, you'll just get the same model back, we'll never upgrade you." My control units capacitors don't take 10 minutes to discharge, the advisor said wait 24 hours. Who would be happy with this in the middle of winter? What a disgusting attitude Salus have.
