Hi All
i have recently had a new boiler installed to replace my older one which was beginning to break frequently after 13 years.
the new boiler (Glow worm ultracom 30) has been working perfectly except the wireless thermostat is a bit of a problem
the thermostat is a Salus RT305TX and the receiver is RXRT505.
all worked fine for about 2 weeks but then the thermostat keep loosing RF. there will be times when the thermostat is calling for heat but the receiver will not turn the boiler on as the green light on the receiver stays off. in other words, even though the thermostat is calling for heat, the receiver does not see it and the green indicator light stays off. i have to go and play with it ie increase and decrease the set point temperature to force the thermostat to send a signal to the receiver. this sometimes works for a while before the link is lost again.
also although the set temperture may be reached, sometimes the flame indicator on the thermostat stays on but the receiver will be off.
i thought this might be a battery issue so i replaced with new batterys but the problem continues. i have reset the thermostat but no joy.
my questions are:
-are these known issues with these salus wireless thermostats?
-can they be fixed by changing the address on the back or is a waste of time?
-should i just give up on the wireless and just have a hard wired thermostat?
-anyone with esperience of similar issues with wireless thermostats and especially the typre am using now?
thank you
