USER GUIDE
Welcome to your new Ideal Halo control. This thermostat will help you to control both your heating temperature and the times that your heating is on.
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 HaloCombi 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.
If you have purchased a Halo Combi RF (non-connected control) you can upgrade this to an internet heating control by downloading the Halo app and following the steps in the app to connect your Halo control. You will be required to pay a connection fee to upgrade to app-controlled heating.
MAIN FEATURES
MODE SELECTION
You can choose to run your Halo in Auto, Manual, or Off mode.
Autoruns 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.
TOP TIP
You could use this feature if you want to keep your heating on for longer than
is scheduled.
Maybe you’re not going to work today and you want your heating to stay on all
morning.
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.
TOP TIP
You could use this feature if you want to boost your heating to a higher
temperature for a period of time. Maybe you’re feeling chilly or it’s the
weekend and you’re staying up later than when your hearing is scheduled.
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.
TOP TIP
If you want to change more than one day you can use the copy day feature to
copy the schedule from one day to another day.
TOP TIP
Schedules help to balance comfort and energy efficiency, so you are heating
your home to suit your lifestyle.
Don’t forget you could set your weekend schedules differently during the week
if your routine changes.
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 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.

replaced. Sat, 17 Nov

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 them with 4 new AA Alkaline
batteries. Check you have the correct battery orientation then position the
Haloback onto the rear housing and gently push it into place until you feel a
positive click.

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 the 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.
