Setup and Installation
The Garza Smart Wi-Fi Thermostat offers two primary installation methods to suit various heating system configurations. Ensure all power is disconnected from your boiler and heating system before beginning installation.
Installation Options:
- Mode A - Wireless Connection: In this mode, the receiver unit connects directly to your boiler. The thermostat communicates wirelessly with the receiver. This setup is ideal for placing the thermostat in a convenient location without direct wiring to the boiler.
- Mode B - Wired Connection: This option involves connecting the thermostat directly to your boiler via cables. The receiver unit then connects to the mains power and acts as a gateway for Wi-Fi communication. This is suitable if you prefer a direct wired connection for the thermostat.
Both modes include an adapter for connecting the receiver to the mains power. Necessary connection cables (NO and COM), USB cable, and screws for installation are included.
