TRT036N Front View
Siting
- The TRT036N should be located at a position that eases wiring runs and gives good access for programming.
- It should be mounted approximately 1.5m above floor level.
Installation
- Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses are removed or the circuit breaker turned off.
- Remove the wall plate from the unit, by undoing the retaining screws, and pivoting the bottom of the unit outwards. The TRT036N body can then be lifted off.
- Mark the position of the mounting holes on the wall using the wall plate as a template. Drill out the mounting holes taking care to avoid any joists, electrical cables, or water/gas pipes that may be hidden beneath the surface. Insert the rawl plugs into the holes.
- Pass the 230V 50Hz mains supply and load cables through the opening of the wall plate. Allow sufficient excess cable to wire up the unit, but not too much to make it difficult to close the unit to the wall plate.
- Fix the wall plate to the wall using the correct mounting screws for the rawl plugs installed. The retaining screws which secure the unit to the wall plate should be at the bottom.
- Terminate the cables into the terminal block ensuring correct polarity is observed and that all bare conductors are sleeved (See section 6. Connection Diagram). Make sure that the curved washer grips the conductor.
- To reinstall the unit onto the wall plate, first ensure the wall plate retaining screws are loosened enough to clear the TRT036N body, then engage the top of the TRT036N onto the wall plate retaining tabs, and push firmly downwards and then upwards. There will be some resistance from the terminals.
- Once in place, secure with the retaining screws making sure not to overtighten.

DIP Switch Settings
- Decide whether weekday/weekend (5-2) or individual (7) day programming is required, and set the DIP switches in the correct position on the rear of the unit. A reset will be required after changing the DIP switch positions.
- You can set the TRT036N to run a Pumped or Gravity system. It is important to check which system you have before setting the DIP switches and operation. This can also be set using the DIP switches located on the rear of the unit. System P is for Pumped – this will allow different programs for both central heating and hot water. System G is for Gravity – hot water has to follow the central heating programs at all times, this will also be true when in boost or advanced modes.
