Welcome to your new Ideal Halo Lite. This thermostat will help you to control both your heating temperature and the times that your heating is on.

• You can choose to run your heating in “Auto” mode where you can set daily schedules for your heating to come on at specific times; this can be useful if you have a regular daily routine and want your heating on at the same time each day.
• Alternatively, you could choose to run your heating in “Manual” mode, this means there are no schedules set and you can simply turn the temperature of your heating up and down manually using the dial.

USING YOUR HALO LITE

MAIN FEATURES

MODE SELECTION
You can choose to run your Halo Lite in Auto, Manual, or Off mode.

• Auto: runs your heating to pre-set scheduled times and temperatures.
• Manual: You control the temperature by physically turning the dial.

TOP TIP
Your Halo Lite 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.

By controlling the temperature in your radiators your system is working in the most efficient way for you.

INSTALLING THE HALO LITE PRT

1. The Halo Lite PRT can be installed with or without the provided trim plate. A trim plate is required when the unit is fitted to an electrical box.
2. If no trim plate is required use the rear housing of the PRT to position the unit on the wall, alternatively secure the rear housing to the trim plate. Take care not to overtighten the screws.
3. Wire into the terminals in the Halo Lite rear housing. Ensure the wires are secure.
4. Check the wiring is secure and locate the front housing (display) in position perpendicular to the rear housing and clip it into place. Tighten the screw at the base.

Refer to the boiler installation manual for additional guidance if required.

1. Isolate mains supply to the boiler.
2. Remove the boiler front panel and swing the control box into the servicing position.*
3. Locate the wiring terminals (230V connections are on the left and low voltage on the right).
