The portability of the thermostat offers the following advantages: • no need to lay a cable, which is especially advantageous when old buildings are being modernized, • the optimal location of the device can be selected during operation, • it is also advantageous when you intend to locate the thermostat in different rooms in the course of the day (e.g.
1. LOCATION OF THE DEVICE The thermostats of the COMPUTHERM Q8RF type device can be freely moved in your residence. It is reasonable to locate them in rooms used regularly or for many hours per day so that they are in the direction of natural ventilation in the room but protected from drought or extreme heat (e.g.
2.2 Setting the current day and time Press the “SET” button to go to the main screen, then press the “DAY” button. At this time only the first three letters of the current day will flash on the display of the thermostat and the hour and minute values can be seen. Using the large buttons on the front panel of the device, set the the current day (Monday...

If higher comfort is needed, the switching sensitivity should be set so that it provides a steadier room temperature. On the other hand, please also take into account that the boiler should not switch on and off multiple times in an hour's time except at low outside temperatures (e.g.
3. PROGRAMMING THE THERMOSTAT 3.1 A brief introduction to programming • Programming means the setting of switching times and selection of accompanying temperature levels. The device can be programmed for a one-week period. Its operation is automatic, and it will cyclically repeat the programs that have been keyed in.

can be saved by pressing the “SET” button. A more detailed description of the programming steps can be found in Section 3.3. • If there are days, for which the same program is needed, than it is sufficient to create that program only once, since it can be easily copied to another day using the “COPY”...

factory value of the button. For example, if the current switch ensures PROG a temperature of °C, it can be modified to a standard temperature that ensures °C when needed by pressing the button only once, without having to press the button several times in increments of 0.5°C.
display alternately show the exact time and the time remaining (TIME) (TIME LEFT) in manual control (for example that is, 3 hours and 20 minutes). After this time has elapsed, the icon disappears and the device resumes the program that has been set. If you wish to return to the set program before the time set for temperature modification has expired, please press the “SET”...

Cut or break out the outlets to the required connection points at the bottom of the receiver unit, in order to be able to connect wires to them. 9.2 Putting the receiver unit into operation Turn on the power supply to the receiver unit. A few seconds after the LED lights flash once, the receiver unit becomes ready for operation.
