Salus Poor Temperature Control / Overshoot

Thermostat frequently overshoots the set temperature, making the room too warm.

Possible Causes

Cycle rate set too low for system type, Thermostat located in dead zone with slow response, Incorrect proportional band settings, Boiler minimum run time too long

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No mains work is required.

Steps to check:

  • Adjust cycle rate: In the installer menu, set the cycle rate appropriate to your system (e.g. higher cycles per hour for radiators, lower for underfloor).
  • Relocate thermostat: Move the thermostat to a representative room with average temperature and good air circulation.
  • Check setback temperatures: Avoid large jumps between setback and comfort temperatures, which can cause overshoot.

Resolution: If overshoot persists despite correct settings and location, consider replacing the thermostat with a model offering more advanced control algorithms or consult Salus for firmware updates.
