USE, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Press the keys with your fingers. The use of sharp objects may cause damage to
the instrument.
To clean the display use a soft, slightly damp and lint-free cloth, without using
excessive force.
Attention: the keys are active only if the instrument is hooked to the base
Switch off
Normal operation
Note: in heating mode (winter), if the Thalos RF is off, it regulates the antifreeze
Toff
temperature in order to prevent freezing of the system.
Toff
can have values from 1 to 10° C or be excluded; in this case any minimum
temperature is guaranteed.
Replace the batteries as soon as
possible! Dispose of the
batteries in the appropriate
recycling containers
Occurs in case of probe failure.
In this case the Thalos RF activates the receiver for 10
minutes every 4 hours (if the antifreeze temperature

is
active)
Occurs for the following values of measured tempera-
ture:
t < 0°C
t >50°C
Unhook and re-hook the thermostat from the base. Press the keys for at least 3 seconds during the flashing.
The advanced programming menu is divided into two parts: programming of operating parameters (
PR
) and configuration/test of the radiofrequency transmission (
RF
).
To access it, press simultaneously the keys and for at least 3 seconds until
PR
appears. At this point choose which menu to access with the keys or .
You will enter the selected menu after 3 seconds without pressing any key.

THALOS RF
Thalos RF is an electronic touch screen thermostat to regulate the ambient
temperature both in heating and in cooling to control a remote actuator through
radiofrequency signal.
Powered by two batteries of AAA type, Thalos Rf doesn’t need any wiring.
This allows to install the thermostat anywhere inside your room, without any
intervention of masonry.
The wide touch screen display with backlighting on by pressing a key allows a
clear view even in the dark.

SAFETY WARNINGS
During product installation and operation it is necessary to observe the
following instructions:
1) The instrument must be installed by a qualified person, in strict compliance
with the connection diagrams.
2) Do not power the instrument if any part of it is damaged
3) The instrument must be installed and activated in compliance with current
electric system standards
4) Do not use the instrument for purposes different from the one specified.
5) In case of malfunction do not perform repairs and contact immediately the
technical support.
6) The instrument can be used in environments with category of measurement III
and pollution degree 2.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
• Power supply: 2 alkaline batteries from 1.5V ( AAA type)
• Battery life: about 1 year
• Wall-mounting installation or to cover the 503 box
• Summer (cooling) / winter (heating) / off (with antifreeze) operating mode
• Regulation type:
- on/off with settable differential (0.1 ÷ 1°C)
- P8 proportional with 0.8°C band (-0.3 ÷ +0.5°C) and period 8 minutes
- P15 proportional with 1.5°C band (-0.7 ÷ +0.8°C) and period 15 minutes
• Measurement precision: ±0.5°C
• Measurement temperature resolution: 0.1°C
• Settable setpoint range: 2°C ÷ 35°C
• Operating temperature: 0°C ÷ +50°C
• Storage temperature: -10°C ÷ +65°C
• Operating humidity: 10% ÷ 90% non condensing
• Touch screen display with backlighting on with a key touch
• Password protected lock keypad
• Communication with the actuator through a radiofrequency signal 433.92 MHz
• Maximum distance between thermostat and actuator: 50 m in free field
• Protection degree: IP40
• Association between Thalos RF and remote actuator
Because the Thalos RF and a remote actuator can communicate correctly, it’s
necessary to perform a procedure called “self-learning”, during which the remote
actuator recognizes and stores the identity of Thalos RF.
To perform the self-learning proceed as follows:
1. Activate the channel configuration of the remote actuator (see the
instructions). The actuator remains in configuration mode for a pre-set time,
within which it must receive the configuration string from Thalos RF.
2. Insert the batteries in the Thalos RF, respecting the polarity indicated on the
instrument (to access the batteries compartment it’s
necessary to unhook the thermostat from the base
by pressing the tab at the bottom of the instrument).
After about 3 seconds the Thalos RF initiates the
configuration procedure (indicated by
[NF
on the
display) followed by a short test procedure (indicated
by
TST
on the display) where Thalos RF sends the
sequence on-off-on-off to the actuator.
3. Upon receipt of the configuration string, the remote actuator is configured
and resumes the normal operation while the Thalos RF displays the ambient
temperature (the programming keys will be active only after you have hooked
the thermostat at the base).
• Indications for placement
The Thalos RF is designed for wall-mounting installation or to cover the 503 box.

Fix the base on the wall using
the screws supplied.
Attach the thermostat to the base,
at first mating teeth first
placed on the upper side.
Place the thermostat at a height at about 1.5 m above the floor, away
from direct sunlight, away from doors, windows, heat sources, locations
with excess or total lack of aeration.
The actuator is usually placed near the boiler to pilot.
Attention: the maximum distance between Thalos RF and remote actuator is about
50 m in free field. This value is reduced if there are obstacles in the middle (for
example, reinforced concrete walls).
During normal operation the Thalos RF displays the value of the measured temperature and the possible activation command to the remote actuator is indicated by the
symbol
(heating mode) or by the symbol
(cooling mode).

the password is required. If it’s properly inserted the keyboard is
unlocked for the next 30 seconds.
Configuration -
(nF
Choose
(NF
to perform a new
configuration, which sends an
identifying string of Thalos RF to the
actuator. To activate the configuration,
press the key for at least 3 seconds
until
(NF
stops flashing.
Note: before activating the
configuration it’s necessary to
activate the configuration of the
channel on the actuator.
After successful configuration
Thalos RF performs the test phase.
Note: if you do not press any key within 10 seconds the instrument exits the
menu showing
END
.
Test -
tSt
The test is used to verify the correct
communication between Thalos RF and
the actuator and it can last 10 minutes
the maximum. To activate the test,
press the key for at least 3 seconds
until
TST
will stop flashing. During the
test the commands of on and off are
sent to the actuator every 10 seconds.
To stop the test, press the key for at
least 3 seconds.
