Motion Detection (Boost Mode) in the SALUS 091Pro-RF Thermostat
The SALUS 091Pro-RF thermostat has a built-in motion sensor. When turned on, it can activate Boost Mode – which means the temperature goes up automatically when someone is in the room. This function is comfortable and energy-saving, as it reacts to real conditions.
What is Boost Mode?
When the thermostat detects motion and eco temperature is active, it switches to comfort temperature
Boost is active for 1 hour
If motion continues – Boost renews automatically
If no motion – the system goes back to the AUTO (schedule) mode

How Boost Works – Examples
Type 1 Programming:
Schedule sets eco mode (e.g. 18°C) between 22:00 and 06:00
A person enters the room at 05:15
Motion is detected ➜ Boost starts comfort temperature (e.g. 21°C) until 06:00
If the person stays, Boost renews every hour
Type 2 Programming:
The day has 3 temperatures: 18.0°C, 20.5°C, 22.0°C
At 14:00, 18.0°C is active
Motion is detected
The system activates 22.0°C (highest of the day) for 1 hour
