OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON PAGE 5 RVHT 2 MULTI-FIT Programmable R/F Thermostat-Pair SECTION 1 This Programmable Ravenheat R/F controlled room Thermostat RVHT 2, consists of 2 items: a Mobile Transmitter and a Receiver unit which is designed with panel-mounting to fit in the most popular boiler control panels or other commercially available applications. Installation requires no wiring between Transmitter & Receiver and can be fitted in any normal operating environment within a 30 metre range between the two units. Ceilings, walls and partitions and different building materials will reduce the transmission range. There is a unique facility of R/F-address code setting built into both the Transmitter & Receiver to ensure that the R/F signal transmission will not be interfered with by any other nearby R/F signal. There is a blue-back-light and the soft-keys on the Transmitter are made of translucent rubber allowing the Red LED to project through it to provide easy operating in dim light surroundings. There are 3 working frequencies available. The Working frequency is marked on the top right of the housing on both Transmitter and the Receiver. The marked frequency on both units must be set the same, or this thermostat pair will not operate. SECTION 2 Technical Data Transmitter Unit 1.

Fig 4. Increase or Decrease Clock Setting Battery Compartment Select Comfort & Economy zones Receiver Unit Permanent hold temperature at required set point. Manual ON/OFF for Thermostat operation. Heating ON/OFF indicator blue LED is lit when on. Fig 5A Heating ON/OFF indicator (blue LED lit when on) The Ravenheat transmitter should be wall mounted. The mounting height of Transmitter-unit should be approximately 1.5 metres above the floor. The Receiver-unit can be fitted to most commercially available recessed conduit boxes or, directly on the wall in the wall mounting receiver unit provided within this kit. Transmitter unit & Receiver unit should be positioned as close as possible to each other maximum distance apart: 30 metres however, different building materials, ceilings, walls and partitions WILL reduce the transmitter range. f R/F failed Red LED constantly lit. Heating will be shut off after 10 minutes if R/F transmission fails. To wall mount Ravenheat transmitter unit (Flat head screw-driver required as assisting tool) Manual mode heating start-up If R/F has failed, press this button to resume heating operation. After R/F communications has resumed, temperature will be controlled by Transmitter unit again. Open the assembly unit as documented below. Fix back plate of the unit to the wall.

SECTION 5 RF Address Code Setting Receiver R/F code setting dip switch in Receiver unit is situated Underneath the cap, open it to adjust settings as set out in Section 6. Fig 9A SECTION 6 RF Address Code Setting IMPORTANT If there is another user nearby e.g. in the next house who has the same unit, your receiver may be fault triggered by their Transmitter. Therefore it is recommended that the factory set RF code between the Transmitter and Receiver be re-set by a unique address code, to prevent any unwanted interference. Setting new unique RF Address Code Open the transmitter unit (see Section 4) Open the Receiver unit (see Section 5) Fig. 9B Dip switches shown in Fig 8 and Fig 9c are the same settings. Move the dip switches up or down into any configuration providing the dip switches in both transmitter and receiver correspond, to give unique code. Fig. 8 Transmitter Rear view Fig. 9 Position both Transmitter and Receiver DIPswitches with the same configuration arrangement Factory settings all dip switches on number settings as shown in Fig 8 and Fig 9c.
