2.3 Activate Install mode on Remote Controller (fig. 1)

• When the batteries have been connected, follow the installation guide, beginning with
the selection of language.

• After the installation process, set time and date by using the up/down selector  and
the left/right selector . Confirm settings with OK.

• The installation process is concluded with the opportunity to name the rooms in which
the room thermostats are placed. This makes access to and handling of the system very
easy.

• In the Name rooms menu, activate the Change with soft key 2 () to change the de­fault room names (e.g. from “MC1 Output 1.2” to “Living room”), and confirm with OK.
You can also use the Spell…. menu to create other names.

• When the installation is finished a start up screen with actual time and date will be
shown in the display. The screen also shows actual temperature in the first room on the
rooms list (to select another room for the start screen, see chapter 5.1.2).

Note: Keeping a button activated during settings will make the value change faster.

3. Transmission Test

3.1 Initiate a transmission test on Remote Controller

Menu  Setup  Link test: From the start-up screen, select Link Test to activate a test of
the wireless transmission between Master Controller and Remote Controller. The status of
the link test will be displayed right after the test has been carried through.

If the link test is not successful:

• Try to relocate Remote Controller in the room.

• Or install a CF-RU Repeater Unit, and place it between Master Controller and Remote
Controller.

Note: The link test may take a few minutes, depending on the size of the system.

4. Mounting

4.1 Remote Controller has been installed (fig. 2)

When Remote Controller has been installed to Master Controller (see chapter 2), it can be
mounted on the wall by means of the back plate/docking station . This makes it possi­ble to connect Remote Controller to a 230 V power supply with the included transformer/
power supply plug . When not in the docking station, Remote Controller is powered by
two AA Alkaline 1.5 V batteries.

• Before you place the back plate/docking station on the wall, verify the transmission to
Master Controller from the desired location by carrying out a link test (see chapter 3).

• Mount the back plate/docking station on the wall with the screws and wall plugs .

• Connect the docking station to a 230 V power supply outlet by means of the trans­former/power supply plug .

• Place Remote Controller in the docking station .

Note: To extend the transmission range of the CF2+ system, up to three Repeater Units can be

installed in a chain (see fig. 4).

5. Menus
