Salus RT310 Thermostat, White

Easy to install and set with very useful features, I was very impressed by the simple means to dis/re-enable the thermostat operation saving the battery in warmer weather. Excellent product so far with close temperature control.

Thank you for an excellent service and great product, I will definitely use you again and would also recommend you to others

Once installed it seems to be accurate and works well. The big issue that if you re not a heating electrician, the wiring instructions are nonsense. As the nomenclature for a typical old analogue system you are replacing and that of the Salus are very different. The following explanation is for replacing an old Drayton thermostat with the Salus RT310. The Drayton has 4 wires: typically blue - neutral, brown - permanent live, black - switched live and green/yellow - earth. The Salus has 3 inputs 1 - COM (common terminal), 2 - NC (switched live - off), 3 - NO - (switched live - on). To reconnect, you only use 2 wires: Live (Brown) goes to COM (1). Permanent live (black) goes to NO (3). There is a holding port for the earth wire, and I masked off the blue neutral wire. Job done, and the good news is that the holes for this replacement are a perfect match, so no drilling required. I had another issue with the temperature reading not being correct. Again, there is nothing in the instruction manual about it. After a lot of googling (try the product name and "offset"), I found a short video by Salus on how to change the temperature to the correct level. Hope this helps someone.

I ordered three units to replace some old analog thermostats having tried out a single RT310 successfully. However this time all three did not work had the same problem (being stuck "on", i.e. demanding heat, as soon as you put in the batteries). I tried everything I could think of in terms of resets and troubleshooting to get the unit to switch off but nothing worked. My Dad has been a plumber for decades and he was similarly stumped. I reached out to Salus tech support, but received no response. I also found multiple people online reporting the same issue (there is even a youtube video!), with no resolution. My working model was an older one with an earlier software revision, so I can only assume that a bad batch is in circulation. Without a response from Salus on how to fix this though I was forced to return all three to Amazon. Very poor overall, I have to recommend that you avoid these units and try something else, which is a shame because the working unit was basic, but functional, and well priced.

This was purchased to replace an old analogue heating control. It uses two AA batteries to power the light and it is installed to the existing three wires. Extremely simple to install. The heating setting is accurate to approximately one degree and it is easy to set with the up and down arrows. Very simple and just easy. Very refreshing 👍

Bought this as a direct replacement for one of my Room Thermostats (Gas C/H underfloor heating), the existing being Honeywell T40 mechanical room thermostat. This is a good easy to install 'stat with both normally open (standard 230V control - which mine is) or volt-free normally closed control. Since the unit (which it would need to be for this type of application) is powered by 2 x AA batteries (included), it doesn't require the neutral core - so simply terminate into a terminal strip, or fold over and tape using insulation tape. Earth cable you can terminate similarly or onto back box earth terminal. So, simply Live and and switched live (2 x cores) is all that is required. Good features (such as sleep mode / frost setting) as well as back-light display button. Great alternative to a mechanical 'stat at little additional cost. Note this is NOT a C/H controller (i.e. with programming etc., that is something different), but purely a room / zone thermostat. Slight niggle is that the instructions are somewhat confused and might not be clear to someone not overly familiar with basic circuitry, and the operation instruction is similarly rather ambiguous! Just takes a little thinking about. Don't let that put you off though, a very good product! UPDATED 20/11/18: Since purchasing, I ordered a further quantity to replace all of the room thermostats. Very pleased. Before installing, I placed all of them together (leaving for a while for the temperatures to "settle"). This verified all reading the exact same temperature which is good, meaning they are pre-set accurately (even though you can calibrate if necessary)

I am unable to provide a full review as I did not get a working item - the thermostat looks great and the features are perfect for a straight swap from a dial thermostat and it was very quick to install. However the first unit was faulty and Amazon replaced it next day and the replacement was faulty. After much communication from the manufacturer they advised that one was faulty too and should be sent back. Amazon did not give me the option for a second replacement. It is a shame as I have used Salus products before and they have always been great.

Never used Salus before. I'm a gas engineer and wanted something different. This was for my house. Normally use Honeywell, Worcester Bosch etc. Technical brilliant. Easy to install. Brilliant guarantee. Totally cheap. Would recommend.
