Then switch to the OFF position and back to ON quickly — a red flashing LED confirms pairing mode. The pairing process takes up to 10 minutes, and once successfully paired, the LED on the receiver will go solid red.
How do I test the pairing between the thermostat and the receiver?
Press MENU, navigate to the Pairing submenu, select TEST, and press SELECT. The red LED and green LED on the receiver will begin to flash during the testing process. The testing process takes up to 10 minutes.
What is the temperature range supported by the RT520TX thermostat?
The RT520TX thermostat supports a temperature range of 5°C to 33.5°C. It also offers a temperature accuracy of 0.1°C or 0.5°C, which can be selected during setup.
What TPI control types are available on the RT520 thermostat?
The RT520 offers 3 types of TPI (Time Proportional & Integral) control: 1. for radiator heating (6CPH), 2. for underfloor heating (3CPH), and 3. for electric heating (9CPH). TPI is a self-learning algorithm that ensures economical system operation and minimizes energy consumption. Note that choosing TPI excludes the SPAN option, and vice versa.
