3. REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION

Mount the Ecopower or Ecopower Plus Remote Control in a convenient position directly to the wall or
onto a switch box. As the Remote Control has a room air temperature sensor in it, which may be
selected, avoid a location where the Remote Control would see false room temperatures such as in
direct sunlight or on a very cold wall. Seal any openings going into the wall at the rear of the control to
avoid cold draughts blowing into the control and giving false temperatures.

3.1 Ecopower Controller Wall Mounting

Step 1 Using a screwdriver undo the screw on the top of the Remote Control case and pull the back

case away (see Fig 1 and Fig 2 below).

Step 2 Feed one end of the RJ control cable through the back case,

secure it, then screw the back case to the wall using suitable
fixings (not supplied) (see Fig 3).

Step 3 Connect the RJ plug to the RJ socket on the PCB in the

Remote Control.

Step 4 Refit the front case.
