The Drayton RF601N Digistat+ RF pairs a battery-powered wireless dial thermostat with a single-channel receiver (SCR), giving installers a genuinely simple wireless room thermostat solution with none of the cable-running headaches of a wired install. The familiar tactile dial control is combined with a digital display, so the exact set temperature is always confirmed both by feel and by sight.
With set-back and min/max temperature settings, tactile and audible click feedback, and a typical wireless range of 30 metres, the RF601N is well suited to retrofit installations where running a wired thermostat cable back to the boiler is impractical, while remaining simple enough for less confident users to operate confidently.

Conventional Dial Adjustment
A familiar tactile dial gives intuitive, click-feedback temperature adjustment, backed up by a digital display confirming the exact setting.
Wireless Thermostat & Receiver
The battery-powered thermostat communicates wirelessly with the Digistat SCR receiver, removing the need to run a control cable to the living space.
Set-Back Feature
A single button press activates the set-back mode, quickly reducing the set temperature for convenience without altering the underlying setting.
Min/Max Temperature Setting
User-adjustable minimum and maximum limits help protect vulnerable occupants and become tamper-proof when set to the same value.
On/Off Load Compensation
Built-in load compensation helps maintain a more stable room temperature compared with a simple on/off thermostat.
Typical 30m Operating Range
A typical wireless range of 30 metres between thermostat and receiver suits most domestic layouts, though range can vary with wall density and construction.
Please Note
Radio signal range is typically 30 metres but may be reduced by the number, density and composition of walls between the thermostat and receiver. In larger or more heavily-partitioned properties, receiver positioning should be considered carefully during installation.
Important Safety Information
The SCR receiver is designed for fixed wiring only, in accordance with current IET wiring regulations (BS 7671). Electrical installation and wiring must be carried out by a competent person, with the mains supply isolated before starting work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far apart can the thermostat and receiver be?
The typical operating range is 30 metres, though this can be reduced by the number, density and construction of walls between the two units. Receiver positioning should be considered during installation in larger properties.
What batteries does the RF601N thermostat use?
The thermostat runs on 2 x AA 1.5V alkaline batteries, supplied with the unit, and typically lasts around 2 years before needing replacement.
What does the set-back feature do?
The set-back feature is a one-button way to temporarily reduce the room set temperature for convenience or energy saving, without needing to reprogram the thermostat's normal setting.
Can the temperature range be limited for vulnerable users?
Yes. The min/max temperature setting can be adjusted to restrict the available range, and becomes tamper-proof when the minimum and maximum are set to the same value.
Does the receiver need mains wiring?
Yes, the Digistat SCR receiver is mains-powered at 230V AC and must be installed on fixed wiring in accordance with BS 7671, while the thermostat itself is battery powered.
