SALUS LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY NEW THERMOSTAT WITH COMBINED

BOILER CONTROL

Salus has taken the design of heating controls to a new level with the launch of RT500BC,

a unique programmable room thermostat that combines the functions of both a room

thermostat and boiler controller in one simple unit. Successfully combining design vision

with technological innovation, the RT500BC sets itself apart from competitors’ models;

offering improved functionality and versatility for homeowners.

Designed to be used with electric, gas or oil heating boilers, this new type of thermostat

boast two wireless units – the boiler control and the temperature control – and can replace

most residential thermostats. Whilst the RF Boiler Control is used for wiring connections

and heat on/off control, the RT500 thermostat provides a User Interface and Temperature

Sensing Control.

Boiler Control

The boiler control features both a manual and auto switch that provides users with control

options. When placed on AUTO, the Boiler Control will automatically receive a RF signal

from the RT500 and control the boiler based on the set programme.

User Interface

The User Interface of the RT500BC thermostat makes for simple usage with large buttons,

plus a clear and easy to read digital display showing the status of the heating system, the

current time and day of the week, as well as a clear indication of the current room

temperature.

Temperature Sensing Control

Meanwhile, when it comes to the Temperature Sensing Control, the stylish thermostat

boasts a volt free switching program that offers users great versatility with its programming

options giving a 5/2 or 7 day control cycle option. The 5/2 mode is the automatic default set

of programmes, comprising of five different sets of time and set point temperatures for both

weekdays and weekends. In addition, the RT500BC offers a 7 day programming mode that

allows the user to programme five different sets of time and set point temperatures for each

day of the week. Each programme has been designed to meet the needs of most users

providing them with all year round comfort as well as cost-saving on heating bills.

Designed to be installed directly onto any wall in the house, the RT500BC has been

engineered with simplicity and convenience in mind. For greater comfort, the thermostat

also has a user-friendly feature that allows the temperature to be adjusted in 1˚C

increments, and to assist with energy saving, the RT500BC offers a set back feature which

automatically returns the thermostat to ‘Normal’ mode if no buttons have been pressed for

15 seconds.
