DEVIlink™ CC
1 Introduction
The DEVIlink™ is a programmable, wireless control system for heating systems in residential buildings (up to approximately 300 m2).
The DEVIlink™ CC is the central control unit. It has a colour touch screen from where the entire installation can be controlled.
This installation guide contains all information about the DEVIlink™ CC and how to get started.
It guides you through recommendations and considerations that must be taken into account when handling a wireless system - and it describes the configuration of the system, to ensure a correct and reliable system set-up.
Individual instructions, supplied with the service and
!room devices, contain information about connecting the respective devices to the network. The instruction
will also state whether the device is considered a service device or a room device.
The ? key can be used at any point during installation.
Always look for the latest software version at www.DEVI.com before installation. See "7 Upgrading software version".

DEVIlink™ CC
2 Guidelines for installation
The signal strength is sufficient for most applications, however, wireless signals are weakened on the way from the DEVIlink™ CC to the room devices and every building has different obstacles.
Ensure the best performance by keeping the following in mind for planning and installation:
•Max. 30 m between devices in free space.
•Receiving devices should be placed on opposite or next wall as the transmitter, if possible.
•All metal objects in the building construction can weaken wireless signals.
•Reinforced concrete walls and floors weaken the signal strength significantly, but almost any types of construction materials reduce the signal to some degree.
•Corners that are a result of the building design, can weaken the wireless signals, due to either long distances or inadequate reflecting opportunities.
Note! These are guidelines only as many factors have influence on wireless communication.
