Thanks a million, this video saved me from continuous nightmares waking up seeing my heating switch off by itself. Very annoying but having watched your video multiple times. I have now understood and can set and reset my device manually without stress. Thanks 🙏 and I hope many frustrated residents finds this helpful as it’s the best for me amongst all others I have watched 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much for a superb video explaining how to set up this unit. Can fully comprehend what you are saying/demonstrating. Having tried to follow instructions in the manual....just gave up and threw my arms in the air in dismay! Your down to earth easy to follow instructions and soothing voice gave me the confidence to set my RT500RF unit functioning correctly!! You are a star kind sir :-) :-)
Thanks for posting this. My 90 year old Mother has one of these, she keeps getting the neighbours in, to sort it out. She's convinced it's very complicated. I couldn't be bothered to read the book, even if she could find it. You've shown very clearly, it's simple, thank you. Good video.
Hi. I am looking for a bit of advice, we have Combi Boiler which is controlled by a Salus RT500RF Remote Thermostat, where you have to set 5 temperature times a day. The issue we are having is, as we have young baby we would like to keep the heating on a low temperature all the time. So for example, if we want to be at 20c throughout the night, we are setting the 5th time of the day at 20c and the first the following morning at 20c. The problem we are having is that if we drop below 20c, the boiler powers up and the heating comes on, when it reaches the required temperature it goes off again, as the temperature then drops below 20c, the boiler then powers up and the heating comes on again. This cycle keeps continuing and it continues to come on and off throughout the night to maintain that temperature. As the boiler is in a cupboard in the baby’s room it wakes him up every time it powers up. What we would like to do, is completely override the Remote Thermostat all together and just have our heating like one of the old fashioned wall dials so we can set it at a constant low temperature all the time. Just to add also, we cannot control the heat of our individual radiators, we do not have the 1-5 knobs, we can either have them on or off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Clear explanation but my confusion had been about the 4th programme setting which you called the 5th!! thus confusing me even more till I realised you meant 4th. I got it after that!
Its an ok unit. But the programing system is a faff and a half. And the biggy is that if anyone else has a rf thermostat nearby it has a nasty nack of trying to run on someone elses damn settings! And changing jumpers on the thermostat and reciever doesnt work as it works on a narrow rf band for almost everyother bit of radio gizmo on the home market. And that drives you mad enough to want to take a mallet to it
I am retired and in home most of the time, particularly now I am keeping IN! I want to put the heating on when I feel cold and turn it off when I am too warm. HELP! I don’t want these settings as though I was out at work.
Mary Dimbleby Hi Mary, unfortunately what you wish for is not possible with this or most other programmable thermostats, the only way is to change it for a wireless room stat ie Salus rt300rf
If you are going away for say two days and you don't want it to keep coming on and off, what do you recommend I do? With the old programmer and thermostat all I did was turn it down to 12c and when I got back I turned it up to 19c if that was what I wanted at the time. But this thing if I turn it down to 12c when I leave on the first day it will stay that way until the second day of the 2 days away from home, but it will go back to 19c for the next day when I am away and really want it to still be set at 12 degrees C until `I get back. I feel that I was sold a pup and really should have had a NEST system that I could use remotely and manually.
"Why not just press the up & down keys simultaneously to switch the heating off all together..or if in winter just press the FROST button until you return home"
If you heating switches on randomly? You may be getting interference from another unit, there are switches and jumpers on the back of both units change the frequency by removing a jumper and turning of the corresponding switch
Are these prone to misbehaving? Even though my last program is set to 5 degrees at 11:00pm it keeps coming on during the night! I've reset it a number of times and changed the batteries. Any ideas?
Hi If it comes on randomly, some one near by is using the same frequency, change the jumpers and switches on the back of the sender and receiver to a different channel, that will stop it,
Hi, I have a salus RT 500 and have been shutting off the boiler manually by turning the temp down below 10deg when it gets to hot or I just want to stop the heating, this function has just stopped changed batteries but no change its still the same , any thoughts on why this has happened.
You should have replaced the analogue clock on the boiler with the Boiler Control unit which comes with the RT500BC and paired them so this timer control unit controls the boiler.
Got to root of problem, it worked fine when On last year and Salus-RT500RF set to manual do we could just turn up as required...... Turns out the mt10 in On position is now faulty.... At least we've found the issue eventually, cheers..
Great video how can i set it so my heating doesn’t come on without a programme day or night just so i can manually put it on my when i want. The temp keeps jumping from 5 deg to 14 deg etc
Thanks for the video. I’ve set it to 15 degrees for the middle of the day when I’m out. However the display still says 20 degrees? When I click up or down it goes to 15, then when left the display goes back to 20. Even when I’m home the highest I’ve set is 18. Why does the display say 20?
When you have set it to 15, after a few seconds it goes back to displaying the current temperature in the room, which is in your case 20 degrees, Hope this helps
They are not paired as such, they use a combination of jumpers and switches on the rear of each unit, the switches and jumpers must match each other, factory is all jumpers attached and all switches up 👍🏻
@@freedomheating9315 Would a quick press of the reset make the receiver react too the thermostat/timer. The on demand doesn't light in the boiler but all works after pressing the maintenance button. Programme looks good.

Hold down the light button for 3 seconds, it will go into frost protection until you return
"Why not just press the up & down keys simultaneously to switch the heating off all together..or if in winter just press the FROST button until you return home"
"Can't you just press the FROST key & leave at 5 degrees until you return?"
When we done all this how long does Heaters staying on ??? Thank you

I just want to know how to use it in manual mode and switch the heating on and off as I want.
Sorry, not possible with this product
@@freedomheating9315 Thank you for your reply. I now know my elderly mum would struggle with it so therefore I will have to consider replacing it.

Time for a new one I think, the esi wireless programmer/stat is good value at around £50
What setting do you put the analogue clock to on the actual boiler... Is it On or Timer on a mt10 mechanical timer? Ta

Do you have to leave the boiler on for the settings work
Thanks a lot. Very useful. Has anyone has an issue of getting beep sound? Any idea of how to resolve would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Anitha Devadoss as far as know there is no sound from this model, it may be from your smoke alarm
It might be that the battery in the control unit is dying..?🤷🏾♀️🤔
Anyone know how i keep it at 17 degrees permenantly like a manual mode
Go through each of the time settings and change the temp to 17 on each setting
Mine keeps draining batteries overnight even with brand new ones
Time for a new one I’m afraid 😟
Anyone know how to Re-Pair this model?
They are not paired as such, they use a combination of jumpers and switches on the rear of each unit, the switches and jumpers must match each other, factory is all jumpers attached and all switches up 👍🏻
