LOCATION GUIDELINES

The Halo Heat & System 2-Zone Extension uses wireless Zigbee communication from the Smart Interface to the Halo PRT up to a maximum distance of 30 meters. Occasionally house constructions and materials can reduce this communication range and it is advisable, where possible, to try and avoid directing communications through metal frames or solid concrete walls.

If the distance between the Halo PRT and Smart Interface is greater than 30 meters or the install location is challenging, consider using the Zigbee Booster (UIN 221132), further details available at idealheating.com.

Mounted 1.2-1.5m above the floor
Not above a radiator/heat source
Not in direct sunlight

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

This is a simplified diagram of how the Halo units, Smart Wiring Centre and Smart Interface communicate.

Some wiring and pipework has been omitted for clarity.

TOP TIP: For a robust signal between units, where possible, ensure that the line of communication between the Smart Interface and other units is not through any stone or metallic object.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

INSTALLING THE HALO PRT

The Halo can be either wall mounted or desk mounted.

WALL MOUNTING THE HALO

If there are any concerns regarding signal strength and location of the wall mounted PRT it is advisable to pair the control and check the signal strength before fixing to the wall.

The Halo can be installed with or without the provided trim plate.
If no trim plate is required, use the rear housing of the Halo to position the unit on the wall, alternatively secure rear housing to trim plate. Take care not to overtighten the screws.
Insert the 4 AA batteries provided into the front housing of the Halo. Pay close attention that the orientation of the batteries is as indicated in the housing.
Locate the front housing (display) in position perpendicular to the rear housing and clip into place.

DESK MOUNTING THE HALO

The Halo has an integrated rear housing and desk stand.
Insert the 4 AA batteries provided into the front housing of the Halo. Pay close attention that the orientation of the batteries is as indicated in the housing.
Clip the combined rear housing and desk stand into place.
