5. Setup and Installation
5.1. Receiver Unit Installation (Professional Installation Recommended)
- Power Off: Ensure the main power supply to your heating system is turned off at the circuit breaker before proceeding.
- Mounting: Choose a suitable location near your boiler or heating control panel. Mount the receiver unit securely to a wall using the provided screws and wall plugs.
- Wiring: Connect the receiver unit to your boiler/heating system according to the wiring diagram provided with your boiler and the receiver unit. Typically, this involves connecting the power supply (Live, Neutral) and the boiler control terminals (e.g., Switched Live, Common). Consult a qualified electrician or heating engineer for this step. Incorrect wiring can cause damage or electric shock.
- Power On: Once wiring is complete and secure, restore power to your heating system. The Power Indicator LED on the receiver unit should illuminate.

5.2. Thermostat Unit Setup
- Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment on the back of the thermostat unit. Insert 2x AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment. The display should power on.
- Placement: Place the thermostat unit in a central location in the room you wish to control, away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources. Ensure it is at a height of approximately 1.5 meters from the floor for accurate temperature readings.
5.3. Pairing the Thermostat and Receiver Units
The thermostat unit and receiver unit must be paired to communicate wirelessly.
- On the receiver unit, press and hold the Pairing Button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the Relay Status LED starts flashing rapidly. This indicates it is in pairing mode.
- Within 30 seconds, on the thermostat unit, press and hold the Mode button (or a dedicated pairing button if available, refer to specific model instructions) for 3-5 seconds. The thermostat display may show a pairing icon or message.
- Once successfully paired, the Relay Status LED on the receiver unit will stop flashing and remain solid (or turn off, depending on the model's design), and the thermostat display will show a stable wireless connection icon.
- Test the connection by adjusting the temperature on the thermostat. The Relay Status LED on the receiver should change state (e.g., turn on if heating is requested).
