Wireless Commissioning & Signal Strength

NOTE
Before fixing the DIGISTAT+2RF to the wall it is recommended to first check the signal strength from that location. Wireless commissioning: after initial start-up, the colon, CH, and antenna symbols should be flashing on the LP10RF display.

Follow either   to  below

1. Press & hold the set? button for 5s and Learn and OFF will be displayed. OR
   • Press the set? button 4 times.
   • Press the OK button once.
   • Press the set? button 4 times; Learn and OFF will be displayed.
2. Press the + button so the display shows ON and a flashing antenna symbol. The learning mode is now ready to receive a signal from the transmitter during the next two minutes.
3. Take the Digistat+2RF unit and stand near the boiler.
4. Remove the battery cover and fit the batteries
5. The symbols on the LP10RF will stop flashing and the display will show ‘SSI, Antenna, and ON’.
   NOTE
   If you want to exit the home screen now without checking the signal strength then please press the ‘OK/-’ button, then the ‘set?’ button. Alternatively, you can leave for 2mins and the LP10RF will automatically return to the home screen. See p.6 for how to mount the Digistat to the wall.
6. Press ‘SET’ on the LP10RF and the display will show ‘SSI and Antenna’.
7. After a few seconds, the display will show ‘- – -’. Remove the batteries from the Digistat+2RF, and press and hold the ‘+’ button whilst refitting the batteries, keep the ‘+’ button held and after a few seconds, the display will show ‘rF’ which indicates that the DIGISTAT+2RF is continuously sending a signal to the LP10RF (receiver). The LP10RF display will now show the ‘learned’ transmitter code and the antenna’ as well as the signal strength as indicated by the chevrons on the right-hand side of the display.
8. Place the Digistat+2RF in the desired final position and return to the boiler to check the LP10RF display. The ideal Digistat+2RF position will result in the LP10RF display showing 4 chevrons and the LED will be green.
9. If the LED is red or no LED is showing and the display indicates 1 or 2 chevrons, the Digistat+2RF will need to be re-positioned until the LED changes to amber or green and 3 or 4 chevrons are indicated on the display
   NOTE
   If there is no LED and the display on the LP10RF shows ‘- – -’, there is no signal being received at all from the Digistat+2RF. The transmission will resume once the Digistat+2RF is re-positioned in a part of the house where an amber or green LED and 3 or 4 chevrons are achieved.
10. Once you are happy that, when in the desired location, the Digistat+2RF is sending a good signal to the LP10RF i.e. amber or green and 3 or 4 chevrons, the Digistat+2RF can be fixed to the wall.
    NOTE
    Continue on the next page to cancel the signal strength mode.

LED indicator shows different colours depending on signal strength (see table below)

LED Indication	Chevrons	RF Strength
Green	4	Very strong
Amber	3	Strong
Red	2	Weak

Option 02 – Freeze Protection

Freeze protection will switch on the heating if the room temperature falls to 5°C and will then control the temperature at 7°C even if the Digistat is in OFF mode. The Freeze Protection default is ON. To switch off the Freeze Protection mode enter the Installer Options Menu (Refer to Installer Options 02) and change to OFF. Press to accept.

Option 04 & 05 – Low and High Limit set points.
The user temperature set points defaults are High 32°C and Low 5°C, to change these limits enter the Installer Options Menu (Refer to Installer Options 04 & 05).

Option 06 – Intelligent Delayed Start (Energy saving feature)
The Intelligent Delayed Start is an energy-saving feature that automatically reduces the warm-up time for the heating system. If enabled, the start time should be set an hour earlier then the time you want the property to reach the set temperature. Intelligent Start will delay that start time, by an amount that it has been calculated based on the actual and set temperature. As the weather becomes milder, the start time is delayed, so that fuel is not wasted bringing the room up to temperature earlier than necessary. The Digistat calculates approximately 10 minutes to raise the temperature by 1°C, up to a maximum of 6°C.

NOTE
Intelligent Delayed Start only applies in Auto mode. Intelligent Delayed Start default is in OFF mode. To switch ON Intelligent Delayed Start enter the Installer Options Menu (see Installer Options 06).

NOTE
The Intelligent Delayed start option is not suitable for underfloor applications. Ensure Installer option 06 is set to OFF before final commissioning for underfloor application.

SPECIAL NOTE
If the Intelligent delayed start feature is enabled, (Off changed to On in Installer option 06), please inform the end user of this feature.

The following special note has been added to the user instruction to explain the adjustment requirement: When the delay period is operating as indicated by the flame symbol flashing, pressing any button returns the Digital to auto mode allowing normal button operation until the next time/ temperature event, when it will resume the delay start mode or follows the Holiday, Manual, Override, or Off modes as selected. Changes to the installer options and pre-set programs must be made with the flame symbol not flashing.

Option 10 – Valve Protection
In some heating systems, there may be a requirement to protect the system by operating it once a day, for a given period. If valve protection is selected the system will be operated for a period as shown in valve protection time (mins). Valve protection time is every day at 10.00 am. The valve protection default is OFF. To enable the valve protection mode enter the Installer Options Menu (Refer to Installer Option 10).

Option 11 – Valve Protection time (mins)
Valve protection time can be set between 1 and 5 minutes (default 3 minutes). To change this once a day on time enters the Installer Options Menu (Refer to Installer Option 11).
