Famoso 1000 RF: Supplementary information
General description
The Famoso 1000 is a battery-powered, digital timer / thermostat. This unit can be pre-programmed to
provide day-time temperature control, and night set-back temperature control. Each day can be
programmed with the same – or different – time sequences of day time / night time temperature periods.
Once the programme is running, the unit can be temporarily or permanently overridden to increase or
decrease the desired temperature setting. Use only good quality AA size alkaline batteries, which
should run the unit for approximately 18 months to 2 years (actual running time dependent on the way
the unit is programmed, number of switching operations etc.). When the batteries need replacing, a low
battery symbol flashes in the display.
Commissioning newly installed transmitter & receiver:
The RF (radio frequency) version of this product, communicates with a receiver unit via radio waves, to
switch the heating system on and off. Fit the receiver adjacent to the heating load to be controlled, and
wire the receiver according to the internal diagram (see below). Connect 230v 50Hz supply to the unit.
Now proceed with commissioning of transmitter & receiver. Commissioning of the unit is an essential
but straightforward process.
Press and hold the button at the side of the receiver. Within the first two seconds the receiver LED
flashes twice. Release the button. The LED will remain illuminated.
Now put the transmitter in continuous radio operation mode (see also page 22 of transmitter booklet):
press and hold the top and bottom buttons of the transmitter at the same time. After a two-second
delay, the unit will go into Ed (cycle pre-set) mode. Now press the ok button twice. The display will
show “Fu on”(*), and the transmission symbol
will flash for approx 0.5 seconds every 5 seconds.
The transmitter is now in continuous radio operation system mode. As soon as a radio link is
established with the receiver, the receiver’s LED will go out. Coded radio communication is now
established between transmitter and receiver, which is secure against interference radio noise, or
communications from other similar devices. The transmitter can now be positioned in a suitable location
for temperature sensing to control the heating system (typically the hallway, landing, or living room).
Once the transmitter is in position, check for radio reception by the receiver (the LED flashes
momentarily whenever a radio telegram is received). When locating the transmitter with respect to the
receiver, you should note that steel reinforced walls, or any large metallic objects – for instance kitchen
appliances, filing cabinet and mirrors – can deflect or block radio frequency signals. The transmission
range in open air is approximately 50 metres, and this can reduce to between 20 and 30 metres in
buildings, depending on radio ‘obstructions’.
