RT510RF Programming

Programming the SALUS RT510RF.

This really is rocket science 🙄 I have been trying to programme this thermostat for five days now and I'm still at war with it 🤬

We’ve barely been able to turn heating on since we got this new thermostat- one way of saving money !

[@darthkinta8934]

no it isn't, the video goes into Billy Whizz mode so as you're trying to set it, the video has moved on to the end.

Better than the written guide which is to be honest an unbelievable mess. But it beggars belief that something so easy as controlling the heating appliance needs to be so convoluted!

[@payaat3034]

Honestly, why this shit is made so complicated? 😁

[@cristoff3]

Such an awfully complicated product. I do NOT recommend this to anybody thinking of buying one

[@maryisaac9439]

Could not agree more. Awful

[@zaktaylor9985]

A truly unreliable piece of crap

[@walterkondor9311]

You are totally right..this stuff sucks

[@judithrees75]

Can this be programmed so that if the home gets below a certain temperature it automatically kicks in? This control is absolutely awful to work out. Its so difficult.

[@nicolaistojanov6464]

It can, just put it in manual and set the temp. If you set it on 23 degrees it starts once the room hits 22.6 and stops the boiler at 23.2 (so the starting point is .4 degrees below the set temp and .2 degrees above is the stop point)

[@burningdevil12345]

You can also set a frost protection temperature. drive.google.com/file/d/1pOQqFoxTK44oJbjNY-WZNhN5SNdQ3ayk/view?usp=drivesdk

[@iancoupe9253]

We only need the heating to come in the morning until late evening and then to run at a lower temp overnight we do not need 35 possible combination help

[@burningdevil12345]

Leave the on and off periods for the other time points the same. The heating will not come on during these points. Example: set program 1 for 6am. Say 20 degrees. Set program 2 to bedtime. Say 18 degrees Set program 3, 4, 5 and 6 all the same to say 10pm. Program 6 will stay on untill 6am the next day

[@hovefactually7505]

The video doesn't mention manual control at all. I don't want to set the 5-day/2-day routine, as that doesn't match my work pattern, but I can't work out how to control the thing manually at all. I can manage to turn the unit on the wall on to 'manual' and then press 'on', but then how do I control the temperature? Do I have to keep turning it on and off every 5 minutes? A lot of thought seems to have gone into designing a clever way of programming it a certain way (coming on 3 times a day, and working 5 days a week), but if your lifestyle doesn't fit in with that it's useless.

[@LanceNash-yc8gm]

Did you have any luck??? I’m having the same problem just wanna know how to set manually

[@beverleyclarke7092]

finally managed to pair, test, set up 5/2 programme system yet still not connected to the boiler & have to turn on / off manually - Would totally not recommend this product to anyone

[@lumsdot]

each programme is just one time and temp so for your example it has to be P1 6.30am 21 C P2 9.00am 10 C P3 5.30pm 21 C P4 11pm 10C that leaves 2 programmes left which i would need for mid day lunchtime that means i dont have any left for the early morning 5 am to 5.30 am which i want in case i wake early if you are using 16 C as your lowest temp ( 16 is not cold) it may mean you are heating your house whilst out which is a possible waste of gas, its more effiecent to bring your house back up to temp when you get home. Nest allows a lot more programmes, which is why i was complaining this only has so few

[@annecolligan2476]

How do I know if heating has turned off

[@katrinakelsey1230]

I've set a programme for the heating to turn on and off in the morning and in the evening but I don't need it yet so I pressed the Hand button. However, at 3.15 am the boiler came on, even though I hadn't set it to come on at that time and anyway, I'd pressed the Hand button. Wasn't sure how to stop it other than to press the Holiday button. Then the boiler started again at 06.30 as per my programme, although I have no need of that just yet. How can I simply turn it off so that it doesn't wake me in the middle of the night again? (Unfortunately the boiler is in a cupboard right by my bed!). And how can I make sure I'm not woken in the night when I do start using the heating later in the autumn? This is all very frustrating.

[@klaraskymningskronan]

I want same temp 24/7/365. This is ridiculous. There must be some variant where I set the temperature once and for all? In addition, a magnifying glass is needed to read both the manual and see something on the display. Now I set all times to 00:00 with the same temperature, but day 6+7 could not get to other than 10:00, so they also got the same time and temperature. Do not know if it works, but this idiotic you should not be allowed to make a product.

[@therealmerf]

Did this work?

[@klaraskymningskronan]

No. I have it on manual instead.

[@tdlcraig1]

Literally took me 5 mins to program after watching this video. Cant get much easier. No idea why people are complaining. Also of you want to turn the heating on manually. Theres a hand sign on Thermostat, just click that then turn the temp up to what you want as you would a normal manual thermostat.

[@sandieduncan7070]

I just want to turn my heating off. It's too hot! How do I do that?

[@Ami-ej4yh]

SO COMPLICATED. JUST WANT TO COME ON WHEN TEMPERATURES DROPS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. JUST GIVE ME A DIAL WHERE I CAN TURN THE TEMPERATURE UP OR DOWN.

[@willewinky6527]

What about just getting it to switch the boiler OFF manually until I need it? Then I can request heat whenever I need it forgoing the timer.

[@SuziK]

have u worked out how? i need that too.

[@clairesheldon7556]

I despair with this product. Why should it be so complicated?

[@kevinsheils1988]

Completely useless do not buy this product unless you want a nervous breakdown

[@vamps_rock]

This is a really helpful video in terms of the timer function, however as the written instructions (the 'quick guide'*) are laughable, what about the rest of it? There needs to be more info provided, such as a complete introduction with an explanation of the different buttons and what they do and a problem solver. Where is the full written instruction manual to the unit? There is just the same quick guide on your website. Also, this one seems to be called the RT510RF, the one I have has RT510TX on the properties label on the back of the actual unit, but the instructions* that came with it refers to RT510BC+... so which is it and why 3 different model numbers for what seems to essentially be the same thing? What is the Boost function and what do the temporary and permanent override functions do? I have inadvertently touched some buttons (easy to when you pick it up as it has been left with me as a freestanding unit - which sounds great but is horrible in practice due to the placement of the buttons) that seem to have thrown things off so how do I revert the unit back to default (ie no settings) so that I can start again from scratch? Why is there a programme number (4 on this occasion) showing when I don't recall setting a timer? What is the flame/V in a circle (not sure what it actually is) symbol on the unit and what does it mean? What is the installer mode? I should not have to make a (no doubt lengthy) phone call to your company to get answers to all these questions, and others, to gain a basic understanding of the functionality this item, and so I look forward to your comments.

[@janicewatts5888]

I am having similar problems. Cannot access full guide online. The quick guide seems to be for the benefit of the installer and not the owner/user. The guy who installed ours was in too much of a hurry to explain the settings,and left me to flounder alone.

[@beachman007]

This should not be allowed in the market badly designed too complicated. Avoid it as there are much better options on the market.

[@therealmerf]

Whatever the temperature is set to on the device, is it dependent of the physical turn nub on the heaters in rooms themselves? To be more clear if I turn the physical nub to max on the heaters in my rooms the temperature can't go over the programmed heat on the device? If it's the case it means I need to have all physical turn nub heaters set to max in my rooms to have the programed temperatures?

[@therealmerf]

I'm confused those programs imply that the heat is OFF during the night?? This mean our rooms aren't heated at 19°c while we sleep?

[@adamdriver1016]

Hello Salus, if I buy a gateway, will it be compatible with this thermostat? Id like to control the heating whenaway from the house with my phone. thanks

[@sarahgodfrey6644]

I have had this for years and found it so confusing to use i ended up turning it to manual on my boiler, taking the batteries out and shoving it in a cupboard 🤣 i was able to turn my boiler up and down to whatever setting i wanted and it was much easier but probably more expensive. Now its winter time and my house gets so cold were up at 7 and leave at 830 so ideally i need to be having it on while were asleep so usually i leave it on overnight 🤣 again very expensive. This video does make it seem a lot more easier to understand tbh so i shall give it another go many years later and hoofully it will work. Im a bit confused as my boiler is on 70 degrees and this goes upt0 25 as their different ways to show the tempreture but hopefullly itll come on at 6 in the mornign and will feel nice and cosy for us all wish me luck haha

[@salmanhaleemi55]

[@hovefactually7505]

So many things wrong with this. I don't want to set it to six 'events' every day - only four. Impossible apparently. And once you've got it all set up, if you want to change one tiny thing (say the time you want it to come on on Sunday evening) you have to go through the whole process again.

[@DramaticallyMiddleAged]

Just don’t set anything and switch it on and off whenever you like on the manual function

[@AkingBones1]

When the Salus is in an OFF position [ your eg, 09.00 at 16C ] if the temperature drops below 16C will the boiler restart....???

[@bobk9982]

Very Good but it would have been helpful to explain the manual override system also - I'm a bit confused with the hand and the + hr - do I need to hit both, or one if I want a higher temperature and the other to put the heating on when it is in an "off" period?

[@SalusControlsGroup]

Manual- is for manual use. Simply press the hand icon, and this will override your schedules until you press the hand icon again and it is taken out of manual mode. The +hr hour button adds 1 hour onto your current schedule, up to 9 hours.

[@Hannl1993]

I’ve programmed our thermostat yet it will still randomly come on when it pleases ... it stayed on the entire night last night while we slept... shouldn’t come on past 9:30pm :/

@@lumsdot It does not have on and off periods. If you are operating the boiler by means of the programmer, then it is ALWAYS on. What you are doing is selecting the temperature you require during each period, up to a max of 6 periods in 24 hours.So if you select a temperature of 60c between 1pm and 4pm mid December, the boiler will be on and off to maintain that temp. Come mid July with the same setting, the boiler will probably not be on.

@@janicewatts5888 Please goto 2 mins into the video and watch. They describe 3 on and off periods i.e I wake at 7am so i would set an effective on time at 6.30am with a max temp of 21 degrees, i goto work at 9am so i would set an effective off time at 9 am with a max temp of say 10 degrees. the temp would never go as low as 10 degrees in the house so the boiler would not come on whilst I was at work, . I come home at 6pm so i would set an effective on time at 5.30pm of 21 degrees i goto bed at 11 pm so i would set an effective off time at 11pm of 10 degrees.

You have not used programs 5 and 6. The video guy is causing confusion by using misleading expressions 'on' and 'off . All periods are 'on' periods as the boiler will fire up if the temp falls below the set temp for that period. There is NO off period.
