    Hello.
    I have a Beretta stove and a salus regulator. The hours at which the stove is to be turned on, as well as the temperature of heating the room to 20.4 degrees Celsius, have been set on it. Despite this, the stove turns on every now and then, with short breaks. it heats constantly, even if the temperature already exceeds 22 degrees, etc. it does not react at all to the fact that it is supposed to turn on, e.g. at 3 pm, it only does it constantly. Please help me in this matter and advice on how I can regulate it

    Such symptoms indicate a faulty Salus (contacts closed) or damage to the furnace-regulator cable. Is this Solus wired or wireless?

    Maybe the neighbor has a similar salus and the radio signals overlap. Try to change the channel from factory to some other one

    Old Saluses, e.g. 091FLRF, were paired with the settings on the switches (DIP switches) and there was a risk that the neighbor controlled the second boiler, etc.
    But newer versions, e.g. RT510RF, have digital pairing, so this problem no longer exists.
    The author did not mention what kind of Salus he has.

    This is 091flrf, I don't have a factory-coded program, only my set one and can someone control it for me too?

    Added after 32 [minutes]:

    and I still have a question about what characterizes the night setting (i.e. the moon) and the day setting (the sun), because I understand that you can set a higher temperature for the day and a lower one for the night? only when the temperature is set lower with a tolerance of 0.5 degrees, this furnace turns on anyway

    Maybe if it has the same code set on those DIPs. And since their number is limited, it is possible in blocks of flats where many people can have the same regulators.
    That's why I bought myself an RT510RF with digital pairing and the problem of settings on the switches does not concern me.

    In fact, you can use the so-called night temperature reduction, although it does not necessarily have to be used only at night, it is your choice how you use this option.
    I use a round-the-clock temperature, because I have an old building, so night reduction with my current installation does not make sense, because it is hard to heat up afterwards.

    Drop tolerance is what you mean. hysteresis.
    In this regulator, the factory hysteresis is 1.0 degrees, and it can be changed to 0.5 degrees.
    What does it mean.
    If you set the regulator to 20.0 degrees, then with a hysteresis of 1.0 degrees, the regulator works like this:
    When the temperature on the controller drops to 19.5, it turns on the heating and maintains the heating demand until the temperature rises by 1 degree, i.e. to 20.5. When it reaches 20.5, the regulator turns off the heating and waits until the temperature drops back to 19.5 and the cycle starts again and repeats over and over again.
    Now, it depends on the adjustment of the boiler and the installation, whether heating by this 1 degree will be as part of one burner operation cycle on the boiler, or rather, due to the boiler's oversize, the burner will clock more or less until reaching the 20.5 degrees in the room.

    If you set the hysteresis to 0.5 degrees, it will be the same as above, but with 20.0, the heating will be turned on, for example, at 19.7, and turned off after increasing the temperature by 0.5 degrees, i.e. at 20.2.
    If you do not have the manual, download it from the manufacturer's website and you will know how to program this regulator. You need to practice and choose the optimal variant of settings for your premises and your needs.

    then you need to exclude damage to the transmitter, whether the heating icon disappears after reaching the set temperature, if so, it is rather OK.
    Then you check if the receiver responds to impulses from the transmitter, maybe the receiver has been damaged, but first rule out the problem of controlling your boiler by your neighbor.
    That is, change the DIP settings to other randomly selected ones and see if the effect disappears.
    Start with the simplest things, then keep looking.

    And how to change the setting of these dips? On the back there are 5 of these buttons at the top written on at the bottom off and from the right the first two written "dip" to rearrange all or any specific ones?

    You have 5 switches, each has 2 options to choose from, which gives a certain number of their combinations.
    Set a randomly selected combination that you think you have only you and no one else within the range of your receiver.
    The same circuit must be in the transmitter and in the receiver.

    Download the manual from the manufacturer's website if you do not have the manual in paper form, because everything is described there.

    Please check if the boiler stops heating after setting the receiver to OFF.

    And how did you connect the wires in the receiver at the boiler?
    COM and NO? (correct) Or maybe COM and NC? (incorrect)

    Changing dip settings

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around a Beretta stove that is not responding correctly to the Salus regulator's pre-set temperature and time settings. The stove frequently turns on despite the room temperature exceeding the set threshold of 20.4 degrees Celsius. Users suggest potential issues such as a faulty Salus regulator, interference from neighboring devices, or incorrect DIP switch settings. The Salus model in question is identified as 091FLRF, which may be susceptible to overlapping signals if neighbors have similar devices. Solutions proposed include changing the DIP settings to avoid interference, checking the wiring connections, and ensuring the receiver and transmitter are correctly paired. The importance of understanding the hysteresis settings and the night/day temperature configurations is also highlighted.

FAQ

TL;DR: On Salus 091FLRF, 5 DIP switches give 32 codes; "The same circuit must be in the transmitter and in the receiver." Change both to a new random combination to stop cross-triggering and regain schedule control. [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17587545]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps Beretta boiler owners using Salus 091FLRF fix nonstop heating and ignored schedules fast, without guesswork.

Quick Facts

What causes a Beretta boiler to run nonstop with a Salus thermostat?

A constantly firing boiler often means the Salus has “contacts closed” or the boiler–regulator cable is damaged. Determine if your setup is wired or wireless, then focus on the receiver and its wiring. Replace the faulty part if it stays closed. [Elektroda, brofran, post #17584998]

How do I check if the Salus transmitter is actually calling for heat?

Watch the thermostat’s heating icon. After reaching the set temperature, the icon should disappear. If the icon disappears but the boiler keeps firing, the transmitter is likely OK. Investigate the receiver next. [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17586924]

Can my neighbor’s Salus control my boiler on 091FLRF?

Yes. Older Salus like 091FLRF use DIP switches, so identical codes can overlap. Newer RT510RF units pair digitally and avoid this. Change your DIP code or upgrade to prevent cross-control. [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17585553]

How do I change the DIP code on a Salus 091FLRF?

Set a new code on both units. 1. Choose a random DIP combination. 2. Match the same pattern on the transmitter and receiver. 3. Test heat demand after changing. “The same circuit must be in the transmitter and in the receiver.” [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17587545]

What do the sun and moon modes mean on Salus 091FLRF?

Sun is the comfort (day) temperature; moon is the reduced (night) temperature. You decide when to use each. Some systems reheat slowly, so 24/7 one temperature can work better than large night reductions. Adjust these to your building’s behavior. [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17586081]

What is hysteresis on the Salus, and how should I set it?

Hysteresis is the temperature band around the setpoint that turns heating on and off. Factory is 1.0°C; you can set 0.5°C. With 20.0°C setpoint, 1.0°C cycles 19.5→20.5; 0.5°C cycles 19.7→20.2. “Drop tolerance is what you mean—hysteresis.” [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17586081]

Why does heating start even when I set a lower night temperature?

That’s hysteresis. With a 20.0°C night setpoint and 0.5°C hysteresis, heating starts near 19.7°C and stops around 20.2°C. The controller cycles within that band by design. [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17586081]

How do I wire the Salus receiver correctly at the boiler?

Use COM and NO on the receiver for a standard call-for-heat circuit. Do not use COM and NC. Incorrect wiring can cause unexpected heating behavior and confusion during tests. [Elektroda, zales.vip, post #17588313]

How can I quickly test if the receiver controls the boiler correctly?

Set the receiver to OFF and watch the boiler. The boiler should stop heating. Use this simple test while diagnosing control issues before deeper checks. [Elektroda, kz61, post #17587600]

My boiler heats above 22°C with a 21°C setpoint. What should I try first?

First, check the thermostat’s heating icon at the setpoint. If it disappears, the transmitter is likely fine. Next, examine the receiver’s response and continue diagnosing there. [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17586924]

How many DIP combinations does the 091FLRF have, and why should I change them?

It uses five two-position DIP switches, giving 32 combinations. Choose a unique pattern and set it on both units to reduce overlap risk within radio range. [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17587545]

Should I upgrade to an RT510RF or similar model?

Yes, if you want to eliminate address conflicts. RT510RF uses digital pairing, so nearby thermostats with similar settings cannot control your boiler. [Elektroda, BUCKS, post #17585553]

Do overlapping radio signals really happen on older Salus?

Yes. With DIP-coded models, identical switch settings can control the wrong boiler. Change the channel/code from the factory setting to avoid overlap. [Elektroda, wnojtek, post #17585477]
