Salus RT510TX stopped working?

[Lallan]

Hi, my thermostat is about a year old and the screen has gone blank, changed the batteries. Then opened up the back and the on buttons were at the off position so clicked them back on. However its still not working, is there anything else I can try? The receiver now has a flashing red light so assume its not connected to thermostat because its not working? Help please

Under 12 months call manufacturer over you may be looking at new

Good plan will do that now see if they will replace, thanks

Or back to where it was bought??

 

[Lallan]

It was supplied when we got the new boiler fitted.

So no go with replacement just over 12 month warranty! Any suggestions what could be wrong with it?

To be honest salus are not the best brand. I think it’s probably packed up. I’d suggest either Salus Wireless Programmable Room Stat Transmitter RT510TX - Mr Central Heating
Or get a better stat fitted

 

[Lallan]

OK thanks will do that

They are not worth playing about with as a new one will only cost around £30. Put in the batteries and follow the instructions to pair it to your receiver unit. Cheap & cheerful unit but not that reliable.

I had the same issue with this receiver today, all i did was move the thermostat from one room to another. Changing the dip switches on the back made no difference (these only control the 5+2 or 7 day program and +.25 or +.5 degree increments) I opened up the thermostat and metered the battery connections on the board and they did not supply any voltage to the board, all I had to do was push down firmly where the solder terminals are and it worked straight away with no further issues. If that doesn't work it might need re-soldering which any halfwit can do (even me
the red blinking light on receiver means they're not paired, so when the red light is blinking hold down the pairing button beneath the battery cover for 3 secs once the flashing red light goes solid red press the pair button again for 3 secs and enjoy

It’s Salus and cheap. Replace it and throw the damaged one away.

Thing is there are some people nowadays to whom £30 is a big difference between food or heating, let us not forget them.
