Setup
1. Installation of the Wireless Relay Box
The wireless relay box connects directly to your heating system. It features easy two-wire wiring and volt-free connections, making it suitable for standard and combi boilers, electric heating (On/Off; Relay: 24-230V 5(3)A), underfloor heating, cooling systems, or heat pumps.
- Ensure the main power supply to your heating system is turned OFF at the circuit breaker.
- Mount the wireless relay box in a suitable location near your boiler or heating control unit, ensuring adequate ventilation.
- Connect the relay box to your heating system according to the wiring diagram provided with your boiler or heating system. The relay box provides volt-free contacts for control.
- Once wiring is complete, restore power to the heating system.
2. Thermostat Power and Placement
- Insert the two AA batteries into the battery compartment of the wireless thermostat unit. Ensure correct polarity.
- Place the thermostat unit on the provided table stand in a central location within the room, away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources, to ensure accurate temperature readings.
3. Pairing the Thermostat with the Relay Box (or existing BDR91 Receiver)
The LavaTap Pro Thermostat is designed for reliable, encrypted, two-way wireless communication. It can be paired with the included wireless relay box or directly to an original Honeywell BDR91 receiver for a wire-free installation.
- Ensure both the thermostat and the relay box (or BDR91 receiver) are powered on.
- Refer to the specific pairing instructions provided with your BDR91 receiver or the included relay box. Generally, this involves pressing a pairing button on the receiver/relay box and then initiating a pairing sequence on the thermostat.
- A successful pairing will typically be indicated by a light on the relay box changing state or a confirmation message on the thermostat display.
Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Display: The large digital display shows the current room temperature.
- Temperature Adjustment: Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to set your desired temperature (setpoint). The thermostat will automatically control your heating system to maintain this temperature within a range of 5°C to 35°C.
- ECO Button: Press the ECO button for an energy-saving mode. This feature provides a timed setback or boosts temperatures to reduce energy demand, contributing to lower energy consumption.
- OFF Setting: The thermostat includes an 'OFF' setting which can be used for frost protection or to prevent hypothermia in unoccupied properties during cold periods.
Advanced Features
- Self-Learning Algorithm: The thermostat utilizes an advanced, self-learning algorithm. This intelligent feature learns the thermal characteristics of your home to optimize heating control, ensuring more efficient boiler operation and consistent comfort.
- Heating/Cooling Control: The unit is capable of controlling both heating and cooling systems, offering versatility for various HVAC setups.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the thermostat and relay box surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator appears on the thermostat display, replace the two AA batteries promptly. Use only alkaline batteries.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the connections of the relay box to ensure they remain secure.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat display is blank. | Dead batteries. | Replace the two AA batteries. |
| Heating system not responding. | No power to relay box; Relay box not paired; Signal interference. | Check power to relay box; Re-pair thermostat and relay box; Relocate thermostat or relay box to reduce interference. |
| Incorrect temperature reading. | Thermostat placed near heat source/draft; Sensor obstruction. | Relocate thermostat to a more central and stable temperature area; Ensure sensor is not blocked. |
| ECO mode not activating. | Incorrect button press; System error. | Ensure the ECO button is pressed firmly; If issue persists, try re-pairing the devices. |
