- Route Wires: Pass the necessary wires (power, boiler/pump control) through the back cover to the wiring duct. Leave approximately 20cm of wire length for easier connection.
- Secure Bottom Shell: Fix the bottom shell of the receiver to the wall using the mounting screws.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the receiver's circuit board. Refer to the wiring diagram below.
- Close Cover: Once wiring is complete and secure, cover the front shell onto the bottom shell.
5.2. Wiring Diagram
Important: Since some circuits of this product involve strong electricity, installation should be performed by qualified professionals.
Terminal Definitions:
- N & L: 110-220VAC input (Power supply for the receiver)
- NO(NC) & COM: Dry contact for boiler/heater control.
- N & NO1: Normally Open (NO) actuator connection.
- N & NC1: Normally Closed (NC) actuator connection.
- N & M: Pump connection.
A few boilers may require connection to the COM and NC terminals. Always refer to your specific boiler manual for detailed wiring instructions.
5.3. Thermostat Unit Placement
Install the intelligent touch screen thermostat in a location where it is easy for the user to view the screen and adjust the temperature set point.
