• Page 6: Important notes It is extremely important to use good quality batteries in the eTRV to ensure correct operation of the product. EPH recommend using Li-FeS2 (Lithium Iron) batteries. Poor quality batteries may cause the product to stop communicating wirelessly and fail to operate correctly. Low power or discount store battery brands should not be used. A battery low notification will appear on the eTRV and the EMBER app when the battery is low. Batteries should be changed immediately as the eTRV will stop operating soon after this notification. When the eTRV shows a fault E4, it is normally due to a battery issue. The eTRV detects temperature and communicates on cycles every 4 minutes to conserve battery power. When buttons are pressed on the eTRV, changes will be saved but may not communicate immediately to the RF16 controller. The eTRV is designed for use with EPH TRV Valve bodies.
• Page 7: How your eTRV works The eTRV is designed to control and operate a radiator valve wirelessly. When the eTRV is calling for heat, it will communicate wirelessly to the RF16 controller which will activate your heating system to heat the radiator. When the eTRV reaches its defined setpoint temperature it will close the radiator valve and stop calling for heat. The temperature setpoint is defined by the program settings on your RF16 controller, via the EMBER app or by using the buttons on the eTRV. If the room temperature is lower than the target temperature then the eTRV will open the radiator valve and request the heating system to activate. When calling for heat your eTRV will show a flame symbol on the screen. When the eTRV is in MANUAL or AUTO, the screen will display the current room temperature. When the eTRV is in the OFF mode the screen will display the word ‘OFF’.
• Page 8: Mounting & installation Ensure the eTRV is positioned in an area that has good air flow so it can detect temperature effectively. Ensure the eTRV is out of direct sunlight. If the eTRV or RF16 are used in a way not specified by the manufacturer, its safety may be impaired. Prior to setting the eTRV, it is necessary to complete all required settings described in the mounting & installation section. Ensure the valve body is free of dust and debris. Ensure the valve body is dry and not leaking.
• Page 9: Press and hold the release mechanism on the side of the eTRV to slide off the cover. Insert the 2 x AA batteries and replace the cover. Pair the eTRV to the RF16. Mark the eTRV zone using the stickers provided. Note the room name on the 16 zone list to help identify the zones in the future. The eTRV can be mounted to a radiator valve with a M30 x 1.5mm thread. Rotate the ring at the base of the eTRV to thread onto the radiator valve until tight. It’s recommended that the eTRV is opened to make it easier to mount. Position the eTRV on the radiator valve so the screen is orientated correctly. The eTRV is designed for use with EPH TRV valve bodies.

Lithium Iron batteries are available from EPH Controls Ltd.
• Page 14: Error codes will be displayed if there is a problem with the eTRV. E4 indicates a motor issue and suggests checking the batteries. If E4 persists after using premium batteries, the eTRV needs to be replaced. A low battery indication will appear on the screen when batteries are low. The low battery icon will also show on the zone in the EMBER App. It is recommended to change the batteries immediately when the low battery indication appears.
• Page 15: Boost function allows the eTRV to be set to a specific temperature for 30 minutes, 1, 2, or 3 hours. Press once for 30 minutes, twice for 1 hour, three times for 2 hours, or four times for 3 hours. Press the appropriate button to set the desired temperature for the boost period. The duration will appear on the screen, and the eTRV will return to the home screen after 5 seconds. To cancel a boost, press the designated button when the boost is active. Locking the eTRV requires pressing and holding two specific buttons for 10 seconds. A lock icon will appear on the screen, indicating that the buttons are disabled. Unlocking the eTRV is done by pressing and holding the same two buttons for 10 seconds. The lock icon will disappear, and the buttons will be enabled again.
• Page 16: Changing the mode allows you to switch between AUTO, MANUAL, and OFF modes. In AUTO mode, the system operates automatically. In OFF mode, the system is turned off. In MANUAL mode, you can set the temperature manually. To adjust the target temperature, press the appropriate buttons to increase or decrease it. The target temperature is saved after adjustment. A temporary override occurs when the temperature is changed in AUTO mode, reverting to programmed settings later. A permanent override happens when the temperature is changed in MANUAL mode, permanently altering the target temperature.
