Delta Dore Tybox 117+ Wireless Programmable Thermostat

INSTALLATION

Installing the transmitter

Location

The thermostat can be wall-mounted in a room where the temperature is to be regulated, at a recommended height of 1.5m and away from any heat sources (fireplace, direct sunlight, etc.) or draughts (window, door, etc.). To avoid unwanted air movements that would distort the sensor measurement, the wire entry into the flush-mounted box must be plugged (mastic, glass wool, etc.).

IMPORTANT: Do not install the thermostat on a wall in contact with the outside or with an unheated room (e.g. garage, etc.).

Mounting/Connection

Switch off the power to your setup.
Separate the box from its base.
Connect and secure the base. Your Tybox must be connected with flexible or rigid cables with a maximum cross-section of 1.5 mm².
Insert the batteries
WARNING: Make sure you insert the batteries facing the right way and that they are the right type (no lithium batteries).
Toggle the switch to choose the programme type: weekly (A) or daily (B).
Close and lock the box.
Close and lock the box.
Turn on the power to your setup.

Menu 1-03 does not appear if the Comfort temperature is controlled by each radiator (menu 1-08 = 1).

Menu 1-08 Controlling the Comfort temperature

For hot water heaters with thermostatic valves, the Comfort temperature can be provided by adjusting the thermostat on each radiator. In AUTO mode, the device will show “Conf” during Comfort periods and will be set to constant heating. Only the Economy and Frost Protection temperatures are controlled by the Tybox.

Default setting: Comfort temperature is controlled by the Tybox.

Menu 1-08 does not appear if pre-heat is active (1-03 = 1). Choice 1 turns off pre-heat (1-03 = 0). In this case, menu 1-03 no longer comes up.

Pre-heat function

When changing from Economy to Comfort temperature in AUTO mode, your thermostat will anticipate the rise in temperature so that it reaches the right temperature at the scheduled time. Example (see opposite): 6:30 am, Economy period, currently pre-heating to reach the temperature of 20°C at 8:00 am. The pre-heating function’s speed and accuracy is based on the heater type used and its heating inertia.. Pre-heat in progress is shown by the flashing symboland the Comfort signal.

Changing batteries

The symbolappears.

You have approximately 1 month to replace the batteries (either two LR03 or AAA 1.5 V alkaline batteries).

WARNING: Make sure you insert the batteries facing the right way and that they are the right type (no lithium batteries).

You have 30 seconds to change the batteries before the time setting is lost (in this case, you will need to reset the date and time). The configuration and programming are stored in case the power is off for a long time.

The display shows dEF21.
You have passed the 1-month limit for low batteries. You MUST change the batteries in your device.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The thermostat is on despite the programme not calling for it.
You must have turned on the pre-heat function. If so, then it is normal for your thermostat to anticipate the temperature rise and it has started pre-heating to get to the Comfort temperature at the desired time (see § Pre-heat function).
The thermostat turns off, though the requested temperature has not yet been reached.
Your thermostat uses a kind of control that anticipates the inertia in temperature variations in order to calculate energy needs as accurately as possible and provide maximum comfort. On the other hand, anticipating a drop in temperature, the heating may turn on once the desired temperature has been reached.

Setting up the Tybox 117+ involves installing the receiver, inserting batteries into the thermostat, and pairing both devices. Once connected, you can configure temperature schedules and modes using the interface. The process is straightforward and usually guided by on-screen instructions for quick installation.

Does the Tybox 117+ require batteries?

Yes, the Tybox 117+ thermostat typically runs on batteries to power its wireless controls and display. Using good-quality batteries ensures stable performance. It’s important to replace them periodically to avoid interruptions, as low battery levels may affect temperature control and system responsiveness.

What is the main purpose of a programmable thermostat?

A programmable thermostat like the Tybox 117+ is designed to automatically regulate indoor temperature. It turns heating on or off based on preset schedules, helping maintain comfort while saving energy. This reduces manual adjustments and ensures efficient heating throughout the day.

What temperature should you set for efficient heating?

For most homes, a comfortable heating setting is around 18–21°C while you are active. Lowering the temperature slightly when sleeping or away can reduce energy usage. The Tybox 117+ allows you to schedule these changes automatically for better efficiency and comfort.

What are common problems with thermostats?

Common thermostat issues include inaccurate temperature readings, unresponsive controls, or heating not turning on or off properly. These problems can result from low batteries, incorrect settings, or connection issues. Regular maintenance and correct setup help prevent most of these problems.

Can the Tybox 117+ work without batteries?

No, the Tybox 117+ relies on batteries for its wireless operation and display functions. Without power, it cannot send signals to the heating system. Always ensure the batteries are functional to maintain consistent temperature control and avoid system interruptions.

What happens if the thermostat battery is not replaced?

If the batteries are not replaced, the thermostat may stop functioning or fail to communicate with the heating system. This can lead to heating not turning on or maintaining the correct temperature. Replacing batteries on time ensures smooth and uninterrupted operation.

How can you save energy using the Tybox 117+?

You can save energy by setting heating schedules based on your daily routine. Lower temperatures when you are asleep or away help reduce unnecessary usage. The Tybox 117+ makes this easy with programmable settings, ensuring efficient heating without sacrificing comfort.

Where should a thermostat be placed for best performance?

A thermostat should be installed in a central location, away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources. This ensures accurate temperature readings. Proper placement helps the Tybox 117+ maintain consistent indoor comfort and prevents incorrect heating adjustments.
