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.

3 Installation plan
DEVI recommends that an installation plan is made
!
before beginning the actual installation.
1. Create an installation plan of all the room devices
(mains powered and battery powered).
2. Add the DEVIlink™ CC in a central location to the
installation plan.
3. Add necessary repeater units (if any) to the installation
plan. DEVI recommends that you include at least one
repeater unit within 5 meters from the CC.
3�1 Correct installation plan
• No metal objects between the DEVIlink™ CC and other
wireless DEVI units.
• The DEVIlink™ CC is installed as central as possible on the
floor plan (max. 30 m between devices in free space).
• Wireless signal through walls on shortest possible
diagonal distance.

4�1 Preparing to add devices
When adding devices to the DEVIlink™ system, the distance
between the DEVIlink™ CC and the device must not exceed
1.5 m. To accomplish this the DEVIlink™ Battery Supply Unit
(BSU) is offered as an installation tool.
1. Slide off the lid and insert
the batteries.
x 10
2. Slide the lid back on and
attach the DEVIlink™ BSU
battery pack onto the back
of the DEVIlink™ CC.
1.5 V AA
When ready to do the commissioning, turn the switch
located on the DEVIlink™ BSU to the ON position.
The DEVIlink™ CC will now start up. This takes approximately 30 seconds.
A battery pack (BSU) can be ordered on stock code no.

DEVIlink™ CC
• Forecasting method: When activating the forecast
method, the system will automatically predict the heating start-up time necessary to reach the desired room
temperature at the desired time (all heat emitter types).
• Maximum floor temperature: The default setting is
35 °C (electrical floor heating).
• Regulation type: Only in connection with electrical
heating systems.
Note! Use pincode [0044] to change between the following
regulation types:
Room sensor (regulates only by room temperature) - if
only DEVIlink™ RS is fitted (hydronic floor heating) or
DEVIlink™ RS + DEVIlink™ FT (electrical heating).
Floor sensor (regulates only by floor temperature ) - if only
DEVIlink™ FT/S is fitted.
Combined room/floor (ensures min. floor temperature and
regulates room temperature in parallel) - DEVIlink™ RS +
DEVIlink™ FT/S is fitted.
In case of hydronic floor heating, be aware if a certain max.
floor temperature is given by the floor manufacturer. This
can be assured by fitting a thermostatically controlled mixing shunt.
