LOCATION GUIDELINES

The Halo Combi uses wireless Zigbee communication from the Smart Interface to the Smart Wiring Centre and Halo Combi PRTs up to a maximum distanceof 30 meters. Occasionally house constructions and materials can reduce this communication range and it is advisable, where possible, to try and avoid directing communications through metal frames or solid concrete walls.

If the distance between the Halo Combi PRT and Smart Interface or the Smart Wiring Centre and Smart Interface is greater than 30m or the install location is challenging, consider using the Zigbee Booster (UIN 221132) or mounting the smart interface externally to the boiler using a bracket (further details available at idealheating.com)

The Halo control system connects to the home Wi-Fi network through a module in the Smart Interface. The home Wi-Fi router should be positioned no more than 30m from the Smart Interface.
Where possible avoid directing communications through metal frames or solid concrete walls.

1. Mounted 1.2-1.5m above the floor
   
2. Not above a radiator/heat source
   
3. Not in direct sunlight
   
4. Away from any drafts
   
5. Not fitted behind curtains
   
6. Internal use only
   

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
