Frequently Asked Questions - ZU0800009 FERROLI

How do I set the date and time on my Ferroli thermostat?

During initial start-up, the date and time are set automatically. To change them later, press the SET button, use the upper +/- buttons to select Date or Time menu, and confirm with OK. Use the upper +/- to adjust values and lower +/- to move between fields.

How can I change the operating mode?

Press the MODE button repeatedly to cycle through available modes: Auto, Manual-ECO-Fix, Cleaning, Countdown, Party, Holiday, and Off. After selecting a mode, confirm with OK or adjust settings as needed. To return to Auto mode, press and hold the ESC button for 3 seconds.

What does the 'Low Battery' symbol mean and what should I do?

The battery icon appears when battery power is low. Replace both AA batteries immediately. Use only 1.5 V AA LR6 alkaline batteries. If batteries are not installed correctly, the display will show a warning text. The device retains programmed settings even when batteries are fully drained.

How do I reset the thermostat to factory settings?

Use a blunt object (e.g., a pen) to press the RESET button located on the front. This resets date and time but preserves your custom programs. After reset, you must set the date and time again. For a full factory default restore, use the User menu (MODE + SET pressed together) and select DFL (Restore Default).

How to lock the keypad to prevent accidental changes?

Enable keypad lock via the Installation menu: press MODE, OK, and SET simultaneously until 'Installer' appears, then navigate to LOK (Keypad Lock) and enable it. Alternatively, press and hold MODE and ESC buttons together for 3 seconds to lock/unlock quickly.

Can I program different temperatures for different days?

Yes. During initial start-up or via the SET > Prog menu, you can choose from four programming modes: 7 days same program, 5-2 days (weekday/weekend blocks), 1-7 days (individual daily programs), or free block formation. Each day or block can be assigned one of four pre-defined programs (P1-P4) or a user-defined program (Pd).

How do I use the Party mode?

Press MODE until the Party symbol (a party hat) appears. Set the desired temperature using the upper +/- buttons and the duration (1-23 hours) using the lower +/- buttons. Confirm with OK. The thermostat will maintain that temperature for the set time, then revert to the previous mode. To exit early, press and hold ESC for 3 seconds.

What should I do if the radio link between transmitter and receiver fails?

First, ensure batteries are fresh and the receiver has power. To re-establish the link: press and hold the black button on the receiver until the LED flashes twice, then release (LED stays on). On the transmitter, press and hold MODE and SET for 3 seconds to enter User menu, navigate to RFC, and press OK. Use upper + to enable continuous RF signal; the receiver LED will turn off once paired. Press OK to confirm, then ESC to return to Auto mode.

How does the frost protection work?

Frost protection is active in Off mode, Cleaning mode, and as a minimum temperature setting. The default frost protection temperature is 5 °C, adjustable between 3 °C and 7 °C via the Installation menu (FRT parameter). When room temperature drops below this value, the thermostat will call for heat to prevent freezing.

Where should I install the thermostat and receiver?

Place the transmitter (thermostat clock) in a location where a conventional room thermostat would be installed, typically on an interior wall away from drafts, direct sunlight, and heat sources. The receiver is mounted inside the boiler casing, fitting into the clock aperture. Ensure the distance between transmitter and receiver does not exceed 30 m indoors and consider obstacles like walls and ceilings.

Safety instructions

Danger from electric shock!

The connection and installation of electrical devices may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

• It is imperative to observe the generally applicable safety measures, e.g. before starting any work on the appliance, switch off power supply and secure against switching on.
• Interventions in and changes to the device result in the voiding of the warranty claim.
• Observe your national regulations and the respective safety provisions.

Product details

The radio thermostat clock is a 7 day radio frequency (RF) wireless thermostat/ timer which communicates with a special receiver designed to fit in the clock aperture of the boiler casing.

The radio thermostat clock is battery powered and can be sited wherever conventional room thermostats would normally be sited. See installation locations information on page 7.

The radio thermostat clock is a room thermostat and clock of highly advanced technology. The device is wireless and controls the heating via radio, providing both time control and comfortable room temperatures.
