GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE THERMOSTAT
The
COMPUTHERM
Q5RF
type switched-mode room thermostat is suitable
to regulate the overwhelming majority of boilers and air conditioners. It can
easily be connected to any gas boiler or air conditioning device that has a
double wire connector for a room thermostat, regardless of whether it has a
24 V or 230 V control circuit.
The basic package of the device includes two thermostats and a receiver unit.
If required, the equipment can be extended by two additional
COMPUTHERM
Q5RF (TX)
or
Q8RF (TX)
thermostats. The receiver unit receives switching
signals from the thermostats, controls the boiler (or air conditioner) and
gives commands to open/close the heating zone valves (max. 4 zones,
loadability of the zone outputs: 230 V AC, max. 1 A (0.5 A inductive load))
associated with the thermostats. The zones can operate independently from
each other or, in case of need, all zones can operate at the same time.
This way only those rooms are heated at a given time, where it is required
(e.g. the living room and the bathroom during the day, and the bedroom
during the night). Because there is a wireless (radio-frequency) connection
between the thermostats and the receiver, no cable is required between the
thermostats and the boiler. The installation and connection of the receiver
unit is described in
Section 7
.
Temperature can be measured and set more precisely as compared to
simple, conventional thermostats. In heating mode, in accordance with the
selected switching sensitivity, the thermostat switches the boiler or any
other appliances on and off below and above the adjusted temperature,
respectively, and contributes to reduce energy costs while maintaining
comfort. In cooling mode it switches exactly the opposite way.
To increase the lifetime of the batteries, the thermostat will not transmit
signals continuously. Instead it will repeatedly transmit the actual signal
every 5 minutes. Therefore, the regulation of the heating or cooling will
continue even after a blackout.
