Installation

Overview

system connecting radio controlled thermostats with internet via gateway

Follow the steps below to install your system.

1 Remove thermostat back plate

removing backplate with screwdriver

To change batteries or remove your thermostat from the wall, push a screwdriver into the two recessed holes at the bottom to release the back plate. If the back plate was fitted upside down you may find the recessed holes on top.

2 Insert thermostat batteries

Insert 2 new high quality AAA alkaline batteries. Do not refit the backplate yet.

WARNING
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage due to corrosion. Battery leakage will cause permanent damage. To help avoid this:

  • Replace the batteries annually, even if there is not a low battery warning. Remove failing or flat batteries immediately.
  • Always fit a pair of new high quality alkaline batteries from the same pack. Never mix new and old batteries or batteries of different brands or types.
  • Never attempt to revive alkaline batteries by heating, crushing or recharging.

3 Pair radiator with thermostat

You must make a wireless connection between your radiator and your thermostat.

  1. With the knob on (turned clockwise), switch the radiator's mains supply off.
    switch off
  2. Now, timing is critical: switch it on for three seconds then off again. You can say, "On, one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, off".
    switch on switch off
  3. Switch it back on. The light on the radiator should be flashing; if it is not flashing restart the procedure.
    switch on
  4. You now have half a minute to press the button on the back of the thermostat. Once pressed, the light on the radiator will immediately stop flashing and possibly change colour depending on the settings and the room temperature.
    Press button on back of thermostat

Now that it is paired you shouldn't ever have to do it again, though you may also wish to follow this procedure if you add more radiators or move your radiator to another thermostat.

4 Getting online

The create account screen

Plug the power cable into the gateway and fit its antenna pointing upwards. Connect your gateway to your router using the network cable.

With any browser go to app.radiwarm.com/ then click on "Create an account" and follow the instructions. Or if you already have an account you use "Add Gateway" on the iAccount menu.

5 Pair thermostat with gateway and test system

It is best to do this when you are online. Just find the System setup screen, click "Add thermostat" and follow the instructions. Go to the "System setup" from the iMenu menu, click "Add thermostat" and follow the instructions. From this screen you can give your gateway and each thermostat a name. Check that the system works by switching radiators on and off from the app.

If you are not online you can pair the thermostat and gateway by pressing PAIR on the gateway with the supplied pin then pressing the button on the back of the thermostat. To test the system press and hold PAIR, and while it is pressed, press MODE. L3 starts to flash red. All thermostats are on full-power for a period of 10 minutes or until you cancel the test by pressing MODE.

6 Choose thermostat position

Position on the wall in the same room as the radiator. It should be where its temperature will not be changed by local effects. Avoid:

  • Draughty places near windows, doors and vents.
  • Places near the radiator itself or any other heat sources in the room.
  • Places where the sun will shine on it.
  • Places where, for example, it could be hit by a door.
  • Places where it may get wet.

The maximum wireless connection distance from a thermostat to a radiator or to a gateway depends on the surrounding objects and the building. It can be up to 30 meters in some installations.

Before permanently fixing it, hold the thermostat in the chosen position and adjust it to make your radiator turn on. If it does not turn on, consider a different position.

7 Fix thermostat to the wall

Spring clips at bottom

Mark through the screw holes on the rear. Drill and plug the wall to accept two No. 6 screws and mount the wall plate with the clips at the bottom. Clip the thermostat back onto the wall plate.

thermostats with display and buttons Model CTH3 has a display and buttons so the occupant can see and adjust the temperature.

What it can do

Your thermostat gives precision control of the zone temperature. Being battery powered, it is completely wireless. Once set up, it will keep to its 7 day schedule even if the gateway is switched off.

pressing a button on the thermostat The thermostat normally shows the measured temperature. When you press a button it flashes the set temperature. Press a button while it is flashing to adjust the set temperature between 4°C and 30°C or --.- for no heating. Sometimes you are not permitted to adjust depending on app overrides. Your adjustment usually starts a temporary override of the normal scheduled temperature, depending on how it was set up from the app.

Your radiator

The radiator has an indicator light which may be:

green
when no heat is needed
yellow
when some heat is needed to maintain the room temperature
red
when it is on at full power

The light is normally on continuously, but may wink off or flash as described below.

The thermostat sends a radio signal. When the radiator receives the signal, the light winks off briefly and may change colour.

When the radiator is on, the light is always green until the first signal.

A slow flashing green light means that the radiator has not received a radio signal for at least 5 minutes. Follow the installation steps to fix this. on for 0.8 seconds every 1.6 seconds

An alternating red-green flashing means that your radiator has over heated. Switch the mains supply off and allow it to cool. If the problem persists, your radiator may be faulty.

Reverting to manual control

If for any reason you want to use radiator without the thermostat, you can revert it to Manual Control:

  1. With the knob on (fully clockwise), switch the radiator’s mains supply off.
  2. Switch the mains on for three seconds then off again. Repeat this 5 times and your radiator will be back to manual control.

Your gateway

Normally the "Power on" and L1 lights are green. Pressing MODE changes from L1 to L2 flashing green which means all thermostats are overridden to frost protection 4°C. L3 red means some system override temperature other than 4°C has been selected from the app. Pressing MODE again cancels any system override.

PAIR is pressed with the supplied pin during system setup
