NOTE
Ensure to install the batteries in the proper direction. -
Observe the Wireless Space sensor status indicators (2). The Green LED should blink when data reception by Genesis Heat-TimerTM is received.
If both (RED, GREEN) LEDs are blinking every second after installing the batteries, the System ID is not set for the Genesis Heat-TimerTM control. Reference ADD ADDITIONAL WIRELESS SENSOR section on page 6. -
If the Wireless Space Sensor is receiving data from the Genesis Heat-TimerTM the Wireless Space Sensor is then ready to be mounted.
NOTE
If the LEDs are not blinking, verify the batteries are good and are installed correctly. If the batteries are good and the
LEDs are not blinking, ensure the space sensors are configured with the Genesis Heat-TimerTM control.
ADD ADDITIONAL WIRELESS SENSORS
Description: The Genesis Heat-TimerTM control comes from the factory
with 3 wireless sensors preprogrammed for a specific Genesis Heat-TimerTM
control. An additional 2 wireless sensors may be added to the Genesis Heat-
TimerTM control.
- Remove the cover of the additional wireless space sensor.
- On the Genesis Heat-TimerTM control enter the ADVANCE HEAT SETTINGS menu by pressing and holding the MENU button for 5 seconds.

information regarding the pairing of the Genesis Heat-TimerTM control with
pre-programmed wireless space sensors provided with the control.
PLATINUM
PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM ID
For the Long Range Space Sensors to function in a wireless sensor system, each
space sensor must communicate with a nearby Long Range Repeater RLR or with
the MSI Hub. Each wireless sensor network should have an unique System ID that
enables all wireless sensor network components (Space Sensors, Repeaters and
Wireless Temperature Modules) with that System ID to communicate with each
other.
-
Open the Wireless Space
Sensor by gently pressing on the base locking tab (1) and removing the cover, and then insert two AA lithium 1.5V batteries (2) (Heat-Timer P/N 020012–00).
NOTE
Be sure to install the batteries in the proper direction. -
Observe the Wireless Space
Sensor status indicators (3). If the LEDs are blinking every second after installing the batteries, the System ID is not set (by default, the factory setting is that the System ID is not set).
NOTE
If the LEDs are not blinking, verify the batteries are good and are installed correctly. If the batteries are good and the LEDs are not blinking, the System ID has already been set. If the System ID is known, continue with “Mounting the Wireless Space Sensor” on page 11. If the System ID is not known, the System ID must be cleared using the following steps:
a Remove the batteries from the Wireless Space Sensor.
b Press and hold the Mode button (4) while re-installing the batteries. Continue holding the Mode button until the Wireless Space Sensor status indicators (3) start blinking once per second. -
Remove the batteries from the Wireless Space Sensor, and then program the Wireless Space Sensor System ID using one of the following two methods:
PROGRAM THE SYSTEM ID WIRELESSLY USING A REPEATER—LONG RANGE (RLR) OR MSI
HUB
a Ensure the Repeater RLR or MSI Hub has been powered-on and has already been
programmed with the System ID. Observe the MSI Hub status LEDs (1). If the
status LEDs are not blinking, or are blinking only once every 15 seconds, a
System ID has been programmed. If the LEDs are blinking rapidly (once per
second), a System ID has not been programmed, reference the MSI Hub
Installation manual for additional instructions.b Press and hold the System ID Set/Reset button on the MSI Hub
(2) for 5 seconds or until the red LED starts blinking.
c Place the Wireless Space Sensor near the MSI Hub or near a Repeater—RLR.
d Insert the batteries into the Wireless Space Sensor and observe the sensor’s
red and green status LEDs. When the LEDs stop blinking, the space sensor is
programmed and ready to be mounted.
e After the System ID has been programmed on all the Wireless Space Sensors,
press the System ID Set/Reset button on the MSI Hub to return the MSI Hub
device to normal operation.
f Continue with “Mounting the Wireless Space Sensor” on page 11.
MOUNTING THE WIRELESS SPACE SENSORS
NOTE
-
Select an appropriate location to mount the Wireless Space Sensor. The location must meet the following minimum requirements:
• The location should be on a wall that will represent the current living space temperature (for example: in the living room, 5 feet (1.5 meters) high on an interior wall).
• The mounting surface should be flat and strong enough to hold the weight of the device.
• DO NOT mount the device in a location where it will be exposed to heating, cooling, or humidity sources (such as near radiators, heating/cooling vents, windows, doors, or in a kitchen or bathroom. -
Mark the mounting location through the two mounting holes (1) in the Wireless Space Sensor base, and then secure the Wireless Space Sensor in place using the supplied screws and wall anchors.
If additional Long Range Wireless Sensors are added to the wireless network system the System ID must be programmed on all of the Wireless Space Sensors prior to mounting. Ensure the steps provided in “ADD ADDITIONAL Wireless Sensors” on page 6 for Genesis and Program The SYSTEM ID on page 8 for Platinum have been completed before continuing. The Wireless Space Sensor cover should already be removed and the batteries installed. -
