A GENER AL DESCRIPTION OF THE
RECEIVING UNIT

Room thermostat receiver
is suitable to operate together with wireless room
thermostats

The

COMPUTHERM

room thermostat receiver controlled by a wireless

overwhelming majority of boilers and air conditioners.
It can easily be connected to any gas boiler or air
conditioning device that has a double wire connector
for a room thermostat, regardless of whether it has a
24 V or 230 V control circuit. The receiving unit controls
the connected gas boiler or another electric device
according to signals coming from the room thermostat
switch.

If you want to make your gas convector controllable

mounted on the wall in a place protected against mois­ture and heat, in the vicinity of the boiler. When choosing
the location of the receiving unit you should remember

that bulky metal objects (e.g. a boiler, bu󰀨er tank, etc.)

and metal building structures may have an adverse ef­fect on propagation of radio waves. If it is possible, in
order to ensure trouble-free RF connection, we recom-

mend that you install the receiving unit at a height of 1.5
to 2 m and at a distance of 1 to 2 m from the boiler or oth­er bulky metal constructions. We recommend that you
check reliability of RF connection at the place selected
before installing the receiving unit.

ATTENTION! Do not install the receiver unit under
the housing of the boiler or near hot pipes because it
may damage the parts of the device or compromise
wireless (radio-frequency) connection. To avoid
electric shock, entrust a specialist with connecting
the receiver unit to the boiler!

The device must be installed and connected by a

qualied professional.

WARNING! Modifying the thermostat can cause
electric shock or product failure.

Unscrew the two screws at the bottom of the receiver
unit without removing them. Following this, remove the

front panel of the receiver unit then x the back panel to

the wall in the vicinity of the boiler with the screws pro-

vided. Remove the protective carton from the contacts to
ensure perfect contact.

The marks of the connections are pressed into the plas­tic above the connection points: N, L, 1, 2 and 3.

230 V mains voltage should be supplied to the receiver
unit. This provides the power supply for the device, but
this voltage does not appear on the terminals 1 and 2.
We propose to connect the neutral wire of the network to
point N, while the phase conductor to point L. We recom­mend using a fork type connection including a switch for
mains connection. Please de-energize the device when
heating is continuously not needed (e.g. summer).

The receiver unit controls the boiler or air conditioner
through a potential-free alternating relay whose con­nection points are: 1 (NO), 2 (COM) and 3 (NC). Con­nect the two connection points of the heating or cooling
equipment to be controlled to terminals No. 1 (NO) and
No. 2 (COM), i.e. to the normally open terminals of the

relay as shown in the gure.

If you would like to operate an old boiler or any other de­vice that has no connection points for thermostats, then
the No. 1 (NO) and No. 2 (COM) connection points of
the thermostat should be connected to the mains cable
of the device, similarly as a switch would be connected.

If you want to control several gas convectors by using a
single room thermostat then you need a

COMPUTHERM

wireless room thermostat (it already comprises a receiving
unit), and as many

COMPUTHERM

KonvekPRO gas convector

controllers as the number of gas convectors to be controlled
and one less

COMPUTHERM

Q7RF (RX) supplementary

receiving units. The gure below shows control of two gas

convectors with a single wireless room thermostat. In case
of more than two gas convectors a similar arrangement
can be implemented by additional receiving units and

ATTENTION! Always consider the loadability of the re­ceiver unit and follow the manufacturer’s instructions
of the heating or cooling equipment. The device must

be installed and connected by a qualied professional!

The voltage appearing at terminals No. 1 (NO) and No.
2 (COM) depends only on the system being controlled,

therefore the dimensions of the wire are determined by
the type of the device to be controlled.

The length of the wire is of no signicance, the receiver

unit may be installed either near the boiler or far away
from it, but do not install it under the housing of the
boiler.

If the distance between the transmitter and receiver units
is too large due to local circumstances and it makes the
wireless (radio-frequency) connection unreliable, install
the receiver unit nearer to the place of thermostat or use
a

communication distance.

2. PUTTING THE RECEIVER UNIT

INTO OPERATION

Turn on the power supply to the receiver unit. Press the
“M/A” button of the receiver unit and keep it depressed

(for approximately 10 seconds) until the green LED
starts ashing. Following this, synchronize the thermo-

stat with the receiver unit(s) according to the instruc­tions for use of your room thermostat. The synchroniza-

tion was successful if the green LED stops ashing and

goes out, so that the receiver unit “learns” the safety
code of the transmitter (thermostat). The safety code
will not be lost even during a power outage, the device

memorizes it automatically.

3. TRANSMISSION DISTANCE INSPEC­TION

You can check proper functioning of wireless (RF) con­nection between the wireless (RF) thermostat and the
receiver units by following instructions for use provided
for the thermostat being used.

4. MANUAL CONTROL OF THE RE­CEIVER UNIT

Pressing the “MANUAL” button separates the thermostat
from the receiver unit. In this case, the boiler or air condi­tioner connected to the receiver unit can only be turned on

and o󰀨 manually, without any temperature inspection. The
continuously illuminated green LED indicates “MANUAL”
mode. Pressing the “M/A” button turns on or o󰀨 the boiler.
(The red LED is illuminated when the boiler is turned on).

By pressing the “MANUAL” button again, the device quits
manual control and resumes automatic (thermostat-con-

trolled) operation (the green LED goes out).
