FAQs
How do I install the thermostat?
Installation is simple: ensure the valve is closed, unscrew the old head, and screw the new thermostat onto the M30 x 1.5 mm valve thread. No draining of water is required.
What type of batteries does it use and how long do they last?
It uses two AA 1.5V batteries, which typically last for approximately 3 years.
Can I control this thermostat remotely via an app?
This specific model (Model N) is a smart thermostat with advanced programming but does not offer direct app control. For app-controlled models, please refer to other Eqiva products.
What is the valve protection function?
The valve protection function automatically opens and closes the valve periodically to prevent calcification, ensuring the valve remains functional.
How do I set a custom heating schedule?
You can set individual programs for each weekday, with up to 3 heating phases (7 change settings) per day, using the adjustment wheel and buttons directly on the device.
What is the 'Boost' function?
The Boost function allows you to briefly heat the radiator to its maximum for immediate warmth, typically for one hour, before returning to the scheduled program.
Is it compatible with all radiator valves?
It is universally applicable and suitable for most common valve manufacturers with a thread size of M30 x 1.5 mm. Adapters may be available for other types.
Troubleshooting
Thermostat not turning on
Check if batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
Temperature not reaching setpoint
Ensure the radiator valve is fully open and that the thermostat is correctly mounted on the valve. Check for obstructions around the radiator.
Display is not clear
Wipe the display gently with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the operating range.
Thermostat making noise
