SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Description
The Honeywell Home CM900 Wireless (CM927 or CM921) is a modern wireless
programmable room thermostat based on Honeywell’s Home proven programming
philosophy. To further improve the ease of use, this product includes an extra
large LCD display with backlighting and LoT Technology to assist customers
during daily use.
The CM927/921 room thermostat communicates with the HC60NG receiver box on an
868MHz Radio Frequency (RF) band to control a single heating system component
such as a boiler, pump or zone valve. Neither product will communicate with
other RF products that use different frequencies or communication protocols.
Note: The RF link between the individual room thermostat (CM927/921) and
receiver box (HC60NG) in system packs provided by Honeywell Home is pre-
configured at the factory and therefore SHOULD be installed at the same site.
This makes the installation process fast and easy, but if products from
individual system packs are separated, or mixed with other pre-configured
system packs during installations please refer to section 5.1 Binding /
Rebinding Procedure to bind the desired units together and allow them to
communicate with each other.
Installation Information
As these products communicate using RF technology special care must be taken during installation. The location of the RF components as well as the building structure may influence performance of the RF system. To assure system reliability, please review and apply the information given below.
Within a typical residential building the two products should communicate reliably within a 30m range. It is important to take into consideration that walls and ceilings will reduce the RF signal. The strength of the RF signal reaching the receiver box depends on the number of walls and ceilings separating it from the room thermostat, as well as the building construction – the diagram below illustrates an example of typical signal strength reduction. Walls and ceilings reinforced with steel or plasterboard walls lined with metal foil reduce the RF signal significantly more.
Once a position is selected for the room thermostat this can be checked using the RF Communication Test mode as described in section 2.2.3 Locating the Room Thermostat. If the position is unsuitable the receiver box will not respond and an alternative position must be selected.
Installing the CM900 Wireless System
Please follow the illustrations and information below in sequence to install the receiver box and room thermostat correctly. For applications other than gas boilers, enabling special features and to see what other system options are available refer to section 4) Installer Mode.
Installing the Receiver Box
Installing the Room Thermostat
Power Up
- Remove the battery cover and insert the batteries supplied with the room thermostat (2 x AA LR6 Alkaline Batteries).
- On the initial power up the available user interface languages will be displayed (only on certain models). Use the or buttons to cycle through the options until the desired language is displayed. Press the green button to confirm the selection.
- Set the slider switch to the DATE mode.
- Use the or buttons to set the correct day / month / year, pressing the green button to confirm
- Use the buttons to set the correct time, pressing the green button to confirm.
RF Communication Check (Test Mode)
To check the RF communication, hold the room thermostat about 2-3 metres from the installed receiver box. Move the slider on the room thermostat to the OFF position then press the and buttons together with the button for 3 seconds. The unit will display ‘TEST TRANSMIT’ and it will send test signals to the receiver box, flashing the green LED on every 6 seconds (relay output will remain off) for a maximum of 10 minutes. When the green LED flashes on every 6 seconds proceed to the next step.
NOTE: If the green LED is not switched at specified intervals, the red LED is flashing or if you are installing a replacement receiver box or room thermostat, follow the procedures described in section 5.1 Binding / Rebinding Procedure.
Locating the Room Thermostat
While still in the Test Mode, as described in section 2.2.2, the room
thermostat should be located taking the following into consideration and
reviewing the illustrations below:
- Find a suitable location where the signal transmission is reliable. Reliable transmission is indicated when the receiver box is flashing the green LED every 6 seconds. NOTE: The receiver box relay will be off.
- Install the room thermostat EITHER on the wall using the wall bracket OR attach the optional table stand as shown in below.
- Exit the Test Mode by moving the setting slider to the required operating mode (AuTO or OFF).
- The room thermostat should be installed in an open space for best performance as it is a radio frequency device.
- Leave at least 30cm distance from any metal objects including wall boxes and at least 1 metre from any other electrical equipment eg. radio, TV, PC etc.
- Do not mount onto metal wall boxes.
- It is recommended that the receiver box is fully installed.
System Check
Now a simple test can be completed to check the full system has been installed correctly:
- Set the slider switch to the OFF mode.
- Check the boiler supply is on and check that the green LED on the receiver box is off.
- Set the slider switch to the MAN mode.
- Adjust the setpoint up to the maximum (35°C) by pressing the button. The boiler should come on (green LED ON on receiver box) after a few seconds and the symbol appears on the room thermostat LCD display.
- Set the slider switch to the OFF mode. The boiler will go off (green LED OFF on receiver box) after a few seconds and the symbol disappears.
- Check the system operation by moving the slider between MAN and OFF modes several times, bearing in mind the switching delay referred to above.
Now, you should have completed the installation successfully – to begin operating at the default factory settings move the slider to the AuTO mode or select PROG to modify the built-in heating program accordingly.
Basic Operation of the System
Automatic Operation
The receiver box receives the heat demand (0- 100%) signal from the room
thermostat. The room thermostat will display the symbol on the LCD display
whenever more heat is required. Depending on the demand the receiver box will
switch the heating device on to match the current requirements of the system.
The green LED indicates the status of the relay output:
• Green LED on = relay on
• Green LED off = relay off
Temporary Manual Override
Pressing the receiver box button will override the current relay position. As soon as the next signal is received from the room thermostat the receiver box will return back to automatic operation as the automatic control has higher priority than manual operation.
Communications Loss
If the RF communication is lost for a period of 1 hour the red LED will
illuminate to indicate that no RF messages have been received during the last
hour.
The receiver box will also enter the failsafe mode as selected in Installer
Mode (see section 4.2 HC60 Receiver Box Fail-Safe Mode Setup). To allow manual
control of the receiver box output manual override is available in fail-safe
mode. When RF communication is restored the receiver box will automatically
return to normal operation.
You can now use the USER GUIDE supplied with the room thermostat to
demonstrate how it works to the home owner.
Installer Mode
Installer Mode is used to alter the system settings for specific applications, to use the special features of the room thermostat in a different way or to alter the factory preset parameters. Parameters are divided into two groups:
– Category 1 parameters – Room Thermostat Setup
– Category 2 parameters – System Setup.
These are all listed in section 4.5 Installer Parameters Table.
Entering Installer Mode
HC60NG Receiver Box Fail-Safe Mode Setup
The failsafe mode defines the receiver box output relay status if the RF communication is lost (e.g. when the room thermostat stops communicating due to discharged batteries). The factory setting keeps the relay permanently off when communications is lost. If this factory setting needs to be changed follow the instructions below:
- Enter Installer mode as described above.
- Press the button to enter category 2 parameters.
- Select the parameter 7:LC by pressing the button
- Select the fail-safe mode by pressing or buttons:
- 0 – when RF communication is lost the relay will be held in OFF position.
- 1 – when RF communication is lost the relay output will cycle at 20% on 80% off.
- Press the green button to accept the change.
- Attach appropriate label to the receiver box to indicate the selected fail-safe mode.
IMPORTANT: To enable the frost protection when RF communication is lost, select the fail-safe mode 1. For systems with separate frost protection thermostat or where frost protection is not required select fail-safe mode 0.
Using the Room Thermostat for Specific Applications
The CM927/921 RF room thermostat is a versatile controller that can be used to control many different applications. For most typical applications, like wall- hung gas fired combination boiler control or zone valve control, no adjustments from the factory settings are required. For other applications, like controlling an oil burner, the best system performance can be achieved by modifying selected parameters of the room thermostat in the Installer mode. The table below lists the most common settings used for specific applications.
