Unbranded ST-5400R in English

A room thermostat for a small ELECTRIC boiler: it switches the boiler's circulation pump and heater via a separate control box (ST-5300M), so every hour of heat costs electricity.

What setting should I use?

19-21°C while home, about 10°C when out. Electric heating is expensive, so lower the target rather than running it high.

How do I…?

Turn it on

  1. 1Push the dial (PUSH ON/OFF) once. The green ring and screen light up.

Heat the room to a set temperature

  1. 1Press 온도 so the 온도 icon shows.
  2. 2Turn the dial toward + until 설정 reads 21.0.
  3. 3Heating runs while 현재 is below 설정.

Leave for a few days

  1. 1Press 외출 before leaving (behaviour not verified). Otherwise turn 설정 down to about 10°C.

Turn it off

  1. 1Push the dial once more. Only do this when nobody is home for a short time and it is not freezing.

What do the words on the screen mean?

현재CurrentMeasured room temperature.
설정SetTarget temperature.
온도Temperature modeRoom-temperature control active.
난방HeatingHeater/pump running.

What trips people up on this model?

  • This drives an electric boiler: high settings show up on the electricity bill, and Korea's residential tiered tariff (누진제) charges more per kWh the more you use in a month.
  • If the screen works but nothing heats, the separate ST-5300M box (power + 순환펌프 lamps) may be off or tripped. Check its lamps.
