4. Function
With the Radiator Thermostat Model M you can conveniently
regulate the room temperature. Thanks to pre-programmed
or individually tailored heating and non-heating phases the
desired temperature can be comfortably adjusted. The device
moves a valve to control the flow of heat to the radiator. The
radiator thermostat fits to all common radiator valves and is
easy to install without having to drain any water or intervene
in the heating system. The additional boost function enables
quick, short-term radiator heating by opening the valve for 5
minutes. This immediately brings a comfortable warmth to the
room.
5. Safety instructions
The device is not a toy; do not allow children to play with
it.
Do not leave packaging material lying around, as it can

department.
6. Disposal instructions
Do not dispose of the device with regular domestic
waste.
Electronic devices must be disposed of in accordance
with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive via local disposal points for electronic waste.
The CE sign is a free trading sign addressed exclusively
to the authorities and does not include any warranty of
any properties.
Used batteries should not be disposed of with
regular domestic waste! Instead, take them to your
local battery disposal point.
7. Inserting (replacing) batteries
Upon delivery, the batteries are already inserted with an
insulation strip. For the device to function, please remove
this strip.
To replace the batteries, please proceed as follows:
•
Press the battery compartment cover on both sides with
your fingers and pull it away from device body.
•
Insert 2 new LR6 (mignon/AA) batteries in the battery
compartment, making sure they are the right way round.
•
Reattach the battery compartment cover and latch it into
place.
The service life of new alkaline batteries is approximately
3 years. A battery symbol (
) on the display indicates
that the batteries need to be replaced. After removing
the empty batteries, wait approximately 1 minute before
inserting the new ones. This device does not support
operation with rechargeable batteries.
Never recharge standard batteries. Doing so will present
a risk of explosion. Do not throw the batteries into a fire.
Do not short-circuit batteries.
8. Set date and time
After inserting batteries, the date and time is automatically
requested after a brief display of the firmware version number
and short motor run ("INS").
•
Set the year, month, day, hour and minute with the control
wheel and confirm by pressing the control wheel briefly (
E
).
You can also adjust the time and date in the menu under
"DAT".
The motor moves the control pin backwards during the setting
of date and time.
•
If "INS" and the rotating activity symbol " " are displayed,
the motor is still reversing. When only "INS" is shown in the
display, the radiator thermostat can be installed on the valve.
•
The week program and other settings can be adjusted before
installation. Press the Mode/Menu button for this, while "INS"
is shown in the display. You will find further information in
chapter "11. Setting week program".
•
After the programming has been completed, "INS" is shown
again in the display and installation can take place.
9. Installation on the radiator
The radiator thermostat is easy to install where thermostatic
valves have previously been fitted, and can be done without
draining heating water or intervening in the heating system.
No special tools are required, and the heating does not have
to be switched off.
It is recommended to install the device while radiators /
pipes are not hot.
The union nut attached to the radiator thermostat can be used
universally and without accessories for valves of the most
popular manufacturers with a thread size of M30 x 1.5 mm.
9.1 Removing the old dial
•
Rotate your existing thermostat dial to the maximum value
(anti-clockwise). The thermostat dial then no longer presses
against the valve spindle, making it easier to remove.
•
Now remove the thermostat dial.
•
If required, fix one of the supplied adapters. Afterwards, the
adaption run can be initiated (see chapter „10. Adaption run“).
9.2 Adapters for Danfoss valves
By means of the adapters included in the package, the device
can be installed on radiator valves of types Danfoss RA, RAV
and RAVL.
The assignment of the suitable adapter ring to the relevant
valve can be found in the following illustrations.
The Danfoss valve bodies have elongated notches (
I
) around
their circumference (see arrow), which also ensure that the
adapter is properly seated when it snaps on.
If required, place the provided support ring (
L
) into the
flange before installing the radiator thermostat.
During installation, please ensure that the pins inside the
adapter (
J
) are lined up with the notches (
I
) on the valve.
Ensure that the adapter is properly clipped on.
Take care during installation that you do not trap your
fingers between the two halves of the adapter!
The RA and RAV adapters have been manufactured with pre-
tension in order to provide a better seat. Use a screwdriver
during installation if necessary, and bend it open slightly in the
vicinity of the screw. After clipping onto the valve body, please
attach the adapter using the provided screw and nut.
I

The spigot extension (
K
) must be fitted to the valve pin of RAV
valves prior to installation.

The adapter RAVL does not have to be screwed.

Support ring
The valves from different manufacturers may have tolerance
fluctuations that make the radiator thermostat more loosely
seated on the valve. In this case, the provided support ring (
L
)
should be placed into the flange before installing the radiator
thermostat.

10. Adaption run
After the batteries have been inserted the motor reverses.
Meanwhile, "INS" and the activity symbol ( ) are displayed.
As soon as "INS" is displayed without the activity symbol
( ), the radiator thermostat can be installed. This is followed
by an adapting run ("AdA") to adapt the thermostat to the valve.
