TRANSCEIVER INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE TRANSCEIVER
• The distance between the water heater and the transceiver must not exceed 20m.
• Metallic structures, appliances or magnetic fields in the vicinity of transceiver or
wireless water controllers may reduce signal strength.
• Do not install transceiver near a heat source, such as a cook top, stove or oven. Heat,
steam, smoke and hot oil may cause damage.
• The transceiver MUST NOT be installed where chemicals such as benzine, alcohol,
turpentine, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, chlorine or similar chemicals are in use.
1. Determine the most suitable position for the transceiver (see “POSITIONING
OF TRANSCEIVER AND WIRELESS WATER CONTROLLERS” on
page 10).
2. The transceiver can be mounted to the wall using suitable screws or mounted
to the side of the water heater via the strip of adhesive tape glued to the back
of the receiver case.
3. If the transceiver is to be wall mounted, use the screws and/or anchors
provided. Avoid over-tightening of fixings as this may cause damage. DO
NOT use powered tools to tighten fittings
4. If the transceiver is to be mounted to the side of the water heater perform the following steps:
a. Clean the side of the water heater where the transceiver is going to be mounted using a clean
rag with some methylated spirits or alcohol.
b. Remove the paper strip from the adhesive tape glued to the back of the receiver case to expose
the adhesive surface.
c. Push the adhesive surface to the side of the water heater in the desired location. Press the
receiver into the side of the water heater for a couple of seconds to allow the adhesive to bind.
CONNECTING COMMUNICATION CABLE TO THE WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER
1. With the electric power supply still isolated,
unscrew the transceiver access cover to reveal
control keypad and terminals.
2. Thread the transceiver cable through the cable
clamp , allowing sufficient cable length so that
the sheath of the cable can be secured.
3. Loosen screws terminals and of the
transceiver and connect the spade connectors of
the cable to these terminals and re-tighten.
Polarity is not important, either wire colour can be
connected to either terminal.
SETTING THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE AT THE TRANSCEIVER
1. Ensure the power to the water heater is switched ‘on’.
2. Set the transceiver’s maximum water temperature to 55°C by pressing
the ‘Max Temp’ button until 55 is displayed.
Refer to “Master and Sub controllers and temperatures” on page 9 for information
regarding using of the maximum temperatures with wireless water controllers.
