    Perform a quick installation check by putting the top slide switch to Manual position, and the bottom slide switch to CH. The boiler should fire, if not the iT500 receiver may be wired incorrectly. Please contact your installer.

  • A flashing Blue light is normal indication that the iT500 thermostat is asking for heat and the boiler should be on.

  • A flashing Yellow light is fault indication. The iT500 receiver unit has lost communication with the thermostat. Check the thermostat distance from its receiver, and check for major metalwork in its communication path (such as fridge/freezers). Reposition the thermostat to improve communication. Once it establishes communication again the fault will clear automatically.

  • Check that you have the power supply turned ON to the gateway and it has a steady green light showing.

    The green light indicates you are connected to the SALUS server.

    If you have all the above, remove a battery from the iT500 and replace after 10 seconds. This will reboot the iT500 and bring you back online.

  • The gateway must be connected to a network that has DHCP enabled, it must be connected to a network that has the firewall ports 80 (UDP/TCP) and 2165 (TCP) open. (You may need to contact your internet provider to assist you changing your router settings.)

  • BT Hub 5 uses ports 3 and 4.

  • Have you paired the thermostat with the receiver, please see page 15 in the installer manual on how to do this.
