General Life ILLONA HT16S RF

ILLONA HT16S RF is a General Life wireless room thermostat. The room unit communicates with a separate RF receiver, which switches compatible equipment through its relay.

Model Identification

Manufacturer: General Life
Series: ILLONA
Model: HT16S RF
Category: Wireless room thermostat
Connection: Radio link to receiver; receiver relay to equipment

Room Thermostat Specifications

Dimensions (manufacturer order)85.7mm / 85.7mm / 30.1mm

Power supply3V DC (2 x AAA alkaline batteries)

Temperature measurement figure (manufacturer-reported)0.1°C

Operating sensitivity (manufacturer-reported)(-2.0°C) – (+2.0°C)

Setpoint range(5°C) – (30°C)

Battery life (manufacturer-reported)1 year (2 x AAA)

Ambient operating temperature(-10°C) – (+50°C)

Storage temperature(-20°C) – (+60°C)

Receiver Specifications

Dimensions (manufacturer order)90mm / 90mm / 25mm

Power supply230V AC

Relay NO switching current (resistive load)7A at 240VAC; 10A at 120VAC

Storage temperature(-20°C) – (+60°C)

Specification scope: These values apply to the RF configuration. The thermostat and receiver have different power supplies. The receiver’s mains supply must not be confused with the equipment’s thermostat input. Relay ratings are for resistive loads. The 0.1°C measurement figure is manufacturer-reported and does not establish an independent ±0.1°C accuracy claim.

Compatibility and Installation

Confirm that the heating or cooling equipment supports the receiver’s on/off relay connection, and follow the exact equipment and thermostat manuals. The RF link replaces the cable between room unit and receiver; the receiver still needs power and an equipment connection. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified installer.

Installation decisions for ILLONA HT16S RF

Separate radio and relay units: The mobile room unit is 85.7mm / 85.7mm / 30.1mm and has 3V DC (2 x AAA alkaline batteries) supply; the receiver is 90mm / 90mm / 25mm and accepts 230V AC. Do not mix up their wiring and electrical-safety duties. The room thermostat must be situated where it measures representative air temperature, while the mains-powered receiver needs safe access and wiring.

Contact capacity: The receiver’s normally-open relay is shown as 7A at 240VAC; 10A at 120VAC at the indicated resistive load. Check heat-source on/off input type, wire insulation and any external power/inductive load rather than assuming this family rating applies to every boiler.

Temperature and RF commissioning: ILLONA HT16S RF lists (5°C) – (30°C) as its setpoint span and (-2.0°C) – (+2.0°C) as its operating sensitivity. A negative-to-positive sensitivity adjustment must not be mislabelled sensor accuracy. Test actual radio range, pairing, power-loss and lost-communication behavior with the delivered receiver.

Product scope: Compare any wired or app-enabled sibling as a separate ordering variant, not a guaranteed compatible replacement. Manufacturer model-sheet, firmware/receiver version and terminal diagram remain definitive.
