Function
The electronic BLUETOOTH
®
Smart Radiator Thermostat offers individual control of
the room temperature from a user-friendly and intuitive app.
The app “calor BT” is available for free for iOS and Android smartphones. The radia-
tor thermostat enables the regulation of single radiators or the room temperature.
Thanks to pre-programmed or individually tailored heating and cooling phases, the
desired temperature can be comfortably adjusted.
The radiator thermostat fits to all common radiator valves and is easy to mount
- without having to drain any water or intervene in the heating system. With the
boost function, cool rooms can be heated within short by opening the heating valve
fully. Thanks to the automatic “open window detection”, additional energy can be
saved during ventilation.
5. Intended use
The radiator thermostat is used to control a conventional radiator valve. Only operate
the device in inside rooms and avoid the influence of moisture, dust and sunlight or
external heat radiation. Using the device for any purpose other than that described
in this operating manual does not fall within the scope of intended use and shall in-
validate any warranty or liability. This also applies to any conversion or modification
work. The device is intended for private use only.
eQ-3 AG hereby declares that this device complies with the essential requirements
and other relevant regulations of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can find the full declara-
tion of conformity at www.eQ-3.de.

Inserting (replacing) batteries
In the initial state, the batteries are already inserted. Simply remove the insu-
lation strip.
To replace the batteries, please proceed as follows:
• Press the battery compartment cover on both sides with
your fingers and remove the cover by pushing it downwards.
• Insert 2 new LR6/mignon/AA (1.5 V) batteries in the bat-
tery 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 2 years. A battery sym-
bol (
) on the display indicates that the batteries need to be replaced. After
removing the empty batteries, wait approx. 1 minute before inserting the new
ones. Operation with rechargeable batteries is not possible.
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.
9.
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 shortly (
F
).
You can 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 still re-
verses. 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 “13. Operation and configuration”.
• After the programming has been completed, “InS” is shown again in the display
and installation can take place.
10.
Installation on the radiator
The radiator thermostat is easy to install and can be done without draining heating
water or intervening in the heating system. No special tools are required, nor does
the heating have to be switched off. The union nut attached to the radiator thermo-
stat can be used universally and without accessories for valves of the most popular
manufacturers with a thread size of M30 x 1.5 mm.
• Rotate the thermostat dial to the maximum val-
ue (anti-clockwise). The thermostat dial then no
longer presses against the valve spindle, making
it easier to remove.
• Remove the mechanical thermostat head. If re-
quired, place the supplied support ring or adapt-
er first.
• Attach the radiator thermostat to the valve.
10.1 Support ring and adapter for Danfoss
If required, place the provided support ring (
I
) into the flange before mounting the
radiator thermostat to improve on the stability.
The provided adapter is required for installation on Danfoss RA valves. The Danfoss
valve bodies have elongated notches (
K
) around their circumference, which also en-
sure that the adapter is properly seated when it snaps on.
During installation, please ensure that the pins inside the adapter (
J
) are lined
up with the notches (
K
) 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!

11.
Adaption run
After inserting batteries and mounting on the valve an adapting run (“AdA”) is per-
formed to adapt to the valve.
• As soon as the radiator thermostat has been mounted to the valve, press the con-
trol wheel when “InS” is displayed.
“AdA” and the activity symbol ( ) are displayed. No operations can be performed
in the meantime.
If the adapting run has been initiated prior to mounting, please press the con-
trol wheel shortly and the motor reserves to the “InS” position. If an error mes-
sage (F1, F2, F3) is displayed, the motor similarly travels back to the “InS” posi-
tion.
