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.
