4. Siting

• The TRT035N must be sited where it will not be influenced by heat sources,
for example above a radiator or a television or a refrigerator/freezer or
in direct sunlight or subjected to draughts.

• The product requires air circulation, so do not position above or below
shelving or other wall mounted obstacles.

• It should be mounted approximately 1.5 metres above floor level.

5. Installation

5.1 Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses are

removed or the circuit breaker turned off.

5.2 Remove the wall plate from the receiver unit, by undoing the retaining

screws, and pivoting the bottom of the unit outwards.
The TRT035N body can then be lifted off.

5.3 Mark the position of the mounting holes on the wall using the wall

plate as a template. Drill out the mounting holes taking care to avoid
any joists, electrical cables or water/gas pipes that may be hidden
beneath the surface. Insert the rawl plugs into the holes.

5.4 Pass the 230V 50Hz mains supply and load cables through the opening

of the wall plate. Allow sufficient excess cable to wire up the unit, but
not too much to make it difficult to close the unit to the wall plate.

5.5 Fix the wall plate to the wall using the correct mounting screws for

the rawl plugs installed. The retaining screws which secure the unit
to the wall plate should be at the bottom.

5.6 Terminate the cables into the terminal block ensuring correct polarity

is observed and that all bare conductors are sleeved (See section 6.
Connection Diagram). Make sure that the curved washer grips
the conductor.

5.7 To insert batteries into the unit, access the battery compartment located

on the left side/rear of the unit. Use a small flat head screwdriver
and release the lug and lever out the battery compartment. Insert the
2x AA batteries (supplied) maintaining the correct polarity, as shown
in the base of the battery compartment. Push the battery compartment
back into place until clicks shut.

5.8 To reinstall the unit onto the wall plate, first ensure the wall plate

retaining screws are loosened enough to clear the TRT035N body,
then engage the top of the TRT035N onto the wall plate retaining tabs,
and push firmly downwards and then upwards. There will be some
resistance from the terminals.

5.9 Once in place, secure with the retaining screws making sure

not to over tighten.
