Comfort II RF

The Comfort II RF comprises a wall-mounted twin-channel RF programmable room thermostat and a boiler or wall-mounted RF receiver.

Programmable room thermostat
The wall-mounted unit is a twin-channel RF Programmable room thermostat. The Programmable room thermostat is for central heating and hot water control with modulating/enhanced load-compensating boiler regulation. Up to six time and temperature periods can be set to control central heating as well as up to three ON and Off times to control hot water. This enhance load-compensating function enables an intelligent conversation with the boiler to achieve the desired room temperature in the most efficient way possible. To help save the customer money by burning less fuel, and to minimize room temperature “overshoot” the boiler’s burner may stop firing just prior to the desired room temperature being reached. This behavior including reduced radiator temperature is perfectly normal. The customer should simply set a temperature on the thermostat that they are comfortable with and allow the room thermostat and boiler to do their work. All programming and adjustment is conveniently done from the Programmable room thermostat making the Comfort II RF an excellent solution if your boiler is not easily accessible. The unit has user and installer menus to allow the setting of the temperatures, time programs, monitoring of system information, setting current time/date, daylight savings, maintenance schedules, and pairing the device with the Receiver

The unit can also be wall mounted and hard-wired to the boiler via the EMS BUS connections.

Comfort II RF installation

Refer to the boiler’s Installation, Commissioning and Servicing instruction manual for information on the boiler. Refer to this manual for detailed information on installing and using the Comfort II RF. A brief overview of the Comfort II RF installation procedure is listed below:

• Isolate the boiler
• Remove any panels or casings required to gain access to the control panel
• Mount the Receiver (boiler fascia or a suitable wall location using the optional Wall Mounting Plate Kit, this will require wiring between the boiler EMS BUS connections and Wall Mounting Plate)
• Turn the boiler on
• Insert batteries in the Programmable Room thermostat
• Set time and date on the Programmable room thermostat
• The units will automatically connect to each other
• Ensure that the signal strength is adequate at the Programmable room thermostat before mounting in a suitable reference room  Section 5.1.4 Info – Signal strength on page 12

The Comfort II RF Programmable room thermostat consists of two units: the Receiver that mounts into the boiler fascia or, with an optional wall mounting kit, onto the wall and the Programmable room thermostat which mounts on a wall in a suitable reference room

Receiver mounting
There are two methods of mounting the Receiver:

• In the boiler fascia
• On the wall (optional wall mounting kit 7 733 600 039)

If your boiler is mounted remotely i.e. in the loft or an outbuilding, you may want the Receiver to be conveniently located for easy access

Boiler fascia mounted
Refer to your boiler’s Installation, Commissioning and Serving instruction manual for mounting the Receiver into the boiler fascia.

Wall mounted
Choose a convenient wall location, approximately 1.2 meters from the floor, to mount the Timer. The Receiver is a radio frequency (RF) device and as such is flexible for positioning.

EMS connection

Run a two-core cable from the boiler to the Receiver location. Use an electrical cable with a minimum rating of H05VV-F. For cable runs up to:

•  100 meters, use 0.50mm2 conductor cross-sectional area
•  300 meters, use 1.5mm2 conductor cross-sectional area

Connect the cable to the EMS bus point connections on the boiler control circuit board, refer to the Installation, Commissioning and Servicing instruction manual for your boiler to locate the EMS connections.

Optional wall mounting kit

Using the wall plate as a template, mark the position of the mounting screws. The optional wall mounting kit contains:

• 2 x countersunk screws
• 2 x plastic wall plugs
• Wall plate
• Top retainer
• Drill two holes to suit the size and depth of the wall plugs
• Fit the wall plugs
• Feed the two core cable through the back of the wall plate
• Fit the wall plate [1], ensuring that it is level and tighten the screws to secure
• Connect the two core cable to the terminal block, one coreto each outer connection, ignore the middle connection
• Engage the four clips on the back of the Receiver [2] with the four slots on the wall plate as shown in Figure 4
• Push the Receiver down into the body of the wall plate to secure
  • Engage the tabs on the top retainer [3] into the slots on the wall plate [1] and push down onto the Receiver to secure

Programmable room thermostat mounting
