USE, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Press the keys with your fingers. The use of sharp objects may cause damage to
the device. 

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 device is hooked to the base

Switch off

Normal operation

Note: in heating mode (winter), if the Thalos RF is off, it regulates the antifreeze

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

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

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 test of the radiofrequency transmission (

 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 device must be installed by a qualified person, in strict compliance with the 

connection diagrams. 

2)   Do not power the device if any part of it is damaged
3)    The device must be installed and activated in compliance with current electric 

system standards

4)    Do not use the device for purposes different from the one specified.
5)    In case of malfunction do not perform repairs and contact immediately the 

technical support.

6)    The device can be used in environments with category of measurement III and 

pollution degree 2.

•   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

 

-  tP proportional by opening modulation (only if associated with valves for 

radiators)

•   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 

device (to access the batteries compartment it’s 
necessary to unhook the thermostat from the base 
by pressing the tab at the bottom of the device).  
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.

2

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).

LoC

 appears and 

the password is required. If it’s properly inserted the keyboard

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. 

Note: to associate a second remote actuator, activate the configuration of the actuator 
channel and, while this last is in configuration mode, remove the thermostat from the 
base and re-put it (the thermostat starts the configuration procedure to which follows 
the testing procedure).
