General

The RF Receiver is to be used in conjunction with the RF Controller Unit
to provide wireless room temperature control for use with multiple heating
appliances. Note: Each appliance requires a Receiver Unit.

The Receiver can be used in conjunction with heating appliances with a
maximum heating capacity of 2kW. The Controller Unit cannot be used
with a Quartz Halogen heater without a suitable in-line contactor.

Installation

Before undertaking installation work, ensure the electricity supply is

disconnected from any relevant fixed wiring.

· All wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance
with the current IEE wiring regulations.

· The Receiver unit is designed to be fitted to a standard single BS
backing box with a depth of at least 25mm. The backing box (not
supplied) should already be recessed into the wall.

Alternatively a surface mounted wall box may be used.

· Ensure the top and bottom lugs (if fitted) of metal backing boxes are
removed prior to installation.

Receiver

a) If the heating appliance to be used in conjunction with the Receiver

is fitted with a plug, please remove the plug and strip the wires to the
appropriate length.

b) Remove the screw from the underside of the unit . The front facia is

held in place by clips at the top. It must be removed by lifting the top
of the facia upwards and then outwards - see Fig. 2. The cable
clamp on the rear of the Receiver should then be removed.

c ) The cable of the heating appliance is fed through an opening on the

underside of the unit (see Fig. 3).

d) The cable from the heating appliance is then wired to the terminal

block labelled (out). Please ensure the wires are connected in

accordance with the marked terminals - see Fig. 3.

e) The cable from the heating appliance is then clamped to the rear of

the Receiver unit using the cable clamp previously removed.

f) Connect the fixed wiring of the premises from the backing box to the

clearly marked terminals on the Receiver unit (see Fig. 3). Please
ensure that the unit is earthed to the backing box.

g) Secure to the back box using the screws provided (located on rear

moulding) - see Fig. 2.

Note: The Receiver front facia should not be refitted until the unit has
been set up (see ‘Unit Set-Up’).

Unit Set-Up

The Receiver must be synchronised to suit your individual Controller.

1. Remove the front facias from both the Controller and Receiver units.
(see ‘Installation’).

2. Ensure both the Controller and Receiver(s) are powered up. To
activate the Controller press the standby button see ‘1’ in Fig. 2.
When activated, the ‘ON’ (Green) light will illuminate.

3. Press the ‘TRANSMIT’ button on the Receiver. The Receiver goes
into synchronise mode. This is indicated by both the ‘AUTO’ (yellow)
and the ‘HEAT’ (Red) lights flashing. If more than one Receiver is to
be controlled by a single Controller all Receivers must similarly be put
into synchronise mode. Each Receiver will remain in synchronise
mode for approximately one minute.

4. With the Receiver(s) in the synchronise mode the ‘TRANSMIT’ button
on the Controller is then pressed. This puts the Controller in
synchronise mode, this is indicated by the Controller ‘HEAT’ (red)
and ‘BOOST’ (blue) lights flashing. The Controller will remain in
synchronise mode for approximately ten seconds.

5. The Receiver will automatically go into auto mode once a signal has
been received from the Controller. The Controller is ready once the
‘AUTO’ (yellow) light is lit on the Receiver.

6. The front facias should then be replaced on both the Controller and
Receiver, ensuring the bottom screw is replaced.
