FAQs

Does this element have a built-in thermostat?

No, the Talus Standard element provides on/off functionality and does not feature an adjustable internal thermostat.

Can I install this myself?

It is strongly recommended that a qualified electrician performs the installation, as it involves wiring into the mains electrical supply.

What happens if the room gets very cold?

The built-in antifreeze protection will automatically engage at 15C to help prevent damage to your pipes and radiator system.

Is this compatible with all radiators?

The Talus is compatible with most standard radiators and towel rails, but you should verify thread size and wattage compatibility with your specific radiator model.

How do I control the temperature?

Since this is an on/off element, temperature is managed by the duration the power is left on, or by an external timer/controller.

Troubleshooting

The heating element is not producing heat

Check that the switched fused spur is in the 'on' position and verify that the electrical supply is active at the circuit breaker.

The element does not turn on via the external timer

Ensure the external timer is correctly programmed and wired to the fused spur; consult the timer manual for compatibility.

Radiator remains cold despite power being on

Check for air trapped in the radiator and bleed the system if necessary to ensure hot water/element heat can circulate properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations. The element is designed to be wired into a switched fused spur. Once installed, the unit requires minimal maintenance. To clean, simply wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth when the device is cold. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the white finish. Ensure the radiator system is properly balanced and filled to prevent airlocks, which can interfere with the efficiency of the element.
