INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
5. Press the button on the back of the RFC. This will send the connection
signal. The radiator supply light will give a final flash to show that it is
connected.
6. Now that it is connected, you should never have to do this procedure again.
7. If the radiator sees no connection signal for 60 seconds it will return to
normal operation with its connection unaffected.
6.3 Choosing a position in the room.
The RFC should be positioned in a place where its temperature will not be
changed by local events. Avoid:
● Draughty places near windows, doors and vents.
● Places near the radiator or any other heat sources in the room.
● Places in direct sunlight.
● Places where it may get wet.
6.4 Range Test.
Having connected your radiator and chosen a position for the RFC you can
test the wireless connection.
Place or hold your RFC in position. Press BOOST and ADVANCE together
The RFC will transmit a special test
signal every 5 seconds causing the
radiators supply light to flash twice.
In the unlikely event that the radiator
does not respond, check that you have
connected to the radiator. If it still does not work try a different location.
Poor reception can be because :
● The RFC is too far from the radiator.
● There are metal objects (including parts of the building) obstructing
the signal path. Metal objects can also cause reflections that can
interfere with signal strength.
● There are other 433Hz transmissions nearby. This should not be a
problem as all such devices may transmit occasionally and for short
periods of time.
● The range test lasts for 10 minutes or until you press CLEAR.
6.5 Fixing the RFC to the Wall.
Remove the wall plate from the rear of the RFC. Mark wall through the
screw holes (60mm centres). Use the correct type of fitting for the wall and
mount the wall using no. 6 or 8 screws. Clip the RFC onto the wall plate.
