USER GUIDE
Halo is a battery powered, wireless control that uses a protocol called Zigbee to communicate with the Smart Interface that plugs into the boiler. This user guide is applicable to both the Halo Combi RF and Halo Combi Wi-Fi control. Halo Combi RF is a non-connected control (control is via the Halo Combi unit only). Halo Combi Wi-Fi is a wireless heating control that is connected to the internet. You can download the Halo app on Google Play or the Apple app store. You will not have to pay to use the app. For more information on the features in your Halo app visit the Help section of the app or www.idealboilers.com.
MAIN FEATURES
MODE SELECTION
- You can choose to run your Halo in Auto, Manual or Off mode.
- Auto: runs your heating to pre-set scheduled times and temperatures.
- Manual: you control the temperature by manually turning the dial, there are no set schedules.
- Off: your heating will be set to a low temperature (default 5°C) for frost protection.
- Move between Auto, Manual and Off modes using the right hand side button, scroll down the menu using the dial and push to select
TOP TIP
Your Halo is designed to provide the perfect balance of comfort and
efficiency. It has a feature called Enhanced Load Compensation which balances
the temperature in your radiators to maintain the target room temperature with
optimum efficiency. As a result you might notice that when the temperature in
your home reaches the target your radiators are not hot to touch. By
controlling the temperature in your radiators your system is working in the
most efficient way for you.
PLUS HOURS
If you are running a schedule with pre-set times (Auto mode) and you want to
maintain the current temperature of your heating instead of moving to the next
setting simply press the dial. A pop up menu will appear for you to select how
long you would like to extend the temperature for, turn and push the dial to
make your selection.
OVERRIDE
If you are running a schedule with pre-set times (Auto mode) and you want to
adjust the temperature of your heating temporarily, simply turn the dial to
your desired temperature. The new temperature will be active until the next
scheduled change shown under the target temperature. The home screen will now
display the override icon above the current temperature.
SCHEDULES
Your Halo will come with a pre-set schedule:
- 6:00 – 8:00 21°C
- 8:00 – 16:00 OFF
- 16:00 – 22:00 21°C
- 22:00 – 6:00 OFF
You can alter this schedule by entering the “timed heating schedule” section in the main menu.
- Turn the dial to move between the different days and view the schedule that is set. To edit a day, push the dial or right hand button when the day is highlighted in light blue.
- Push the dial to edit a heating time or temperature when it is highlighted in light blue. You can also add an additional heating period by scrolling and pushing on the “Add new heating event” bar. You can have up to 6 heating events per day in your schedule.
- Alter the start and end times of the heating period and the temperature by scrolling and then pushing the dial to edit. Then use the dial to alter the time or temperature and push to confirm. Push the dial or the right hand button to save your changes.
HALO SMART INTERFACE
The Halo Smart Interface will be installed in the aperture in the front of
your Ideal boiler. It will wirelessly communicate with your Halo control and,
in the case of an internet connected Halo, your home Wi-Fi. In normal
circumstances you will not have to interact with the Halo Smart Interface,
however the LED indications can be useful in diagnosing any technical issues
that may arise. The Halo Smart Interface has a Failsafe/Override feature which
can be used to switch your boiler on if wireless communication between the
Halo and Smart Interface is lost
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
CHANGING THE BATTERIES IN YOUR HALO CONTROL
- A red, empty battery symbol means that your Halo batteries need to be replaced. Whether you have a desk or wall mounted unit you will see the battery symbol on the base of the unit. There are also two finger grabs top and bottom as shown below. Use the finger grabs to gently pull the Halo away from the rear housing.
- Remove all the old batteries and replace with 4 new AA Alkaline batteries. Check you have the correct battery orientation then position the Halo back onto the rear housing and gently push into place until you feel a positive click.
- The Halo will go through a short synchronisation process while it reconnects with your Halo Smart Interface. The Halo will then return to the home screen.
TROUBLESHOOTING
HALO NOT COMMUNICATING WITH HALO SMART INTERFACE
If the below message shows on the Halo screen then it is not communicating
with the Halo Smart Interface
Please follow the on-screen recommendations, additionally, for further help you can also visit www.idealboilers.com Please note even without a signal between the Halo and the Halo Smart Interface the heating will continue to operate in Failsafe mode. In Failsafe mode the schedule will still operate however the output temperature of the boiler will be reduced. You can also manually switch your boiler On and Off by using Override button on the Smart Interface. When the Override is pressed it will disable failsafe mode and allow full manual control of the boiler until the connection is restored. When communication is restored both Failsafe and Override modes are disabled
