Introduction
Friedrich VRPXEMWRT2 Energy Management Wall Controllers for the hospitality
industry deliver unprecedented energy savings without compromising guest
comfort. Integrated occupancy sensor uses a combination of motion and thermal
sensing technologies for accurate occupancy detection. Reliable occupancy
detection allows saving energy when rooms are unoccupied.
Energy saving presets eliminate the guesswork and make it easy to adjust the
energy saving settings. (Patent Pending) Fully congurable energy saving
settings allow customizing the Wall Controller energy saving settings to t any
situation.
Large buttons with international symbols make it easy to adjust the temperature
in ±1° °F or °C and control the fan speed.
Built-in wireless mesh-networking enables optional remote management. For
installation of a networking Wall Controller with remote management, refer to the
“Network Installation” manual.
FOR INSTALLATION OF NETWORKING WALL CONTROLLERS WITH REMOTE
MANAGEMENT, REFER TO THE NETWORK INSTALLATION” MANUAL.
LOGIN TO THE REMOTE MANAGEMENT WEBSITE TO CONFIRM THE SERVER IS
CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET BEFORE INSTALLING WALL CONTROLLERS.
DO NOT INSTALL WALL CONTROLLERS IF THE SERVER IS NOT CONNECTED TO
THE INTERNET. STOP THE INSTALLATION AND CONTACT TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
START BY FIRST INSTALLING A WALL CONTROLLER IN THE ROOM CLOSEST TO
THE SERVER.
LOG IN TO REMOTE MANAGEMENT WEBSITE TO CONFIRM THAT THE WALL
CONTROLLER IS ON THE REMOTE MANAGEMENT WEBSITE WITH THE
CORRECT ROOM NUMBER. CONTINUE BY INSTALLING ADDITIONAL WALL
CONTROLLERS IN ADJACENT ROOMS ONLY AFTER CONFIRMING THAT
INSTALLED WALL CONTROLLER(S) HAVE CONNECTED TO THE WIRELESS
NETWORK AND THE REMOTE MANAGEMENT WEBSITE .
IF INSTALLED WALL CONTROLLER(S) ARE NOT CONNECTING TO THE
NETWORK AND DO NOT APPEAR ON THE REMOTE MANAGEMENT WEBSITE
WITH THE CORRECT ROOM NUMBER, STOP THE INSTALLATION AND CONTACT
TECHNICAL SUPPORT THE ROOMS FURTHEST AWAY FROM THE SERVER
SHOULD BE INSTALLED LAST.

Before You Begin
• Determine the appropriate installation location for the Wall Controller.
The Wall Controller should face the bed area of the room.
• Wall Controller MUST NOT BE INSTALLED NEAR OR ON METAL
STRUCTURES OR SURFACES INCLUDING METAL AIR DUCTING
THAT MAY BE IN THE WALL. METAL STRUCTURES AND SURFACES
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE RANGE OF THE WIRELESS SIGNAL

Wall Controller Installation
Pairing the Wall Controller and the Receiver
Wall Controller and Receiver must be paired in order to operate together. Once
paired, the Wall Controller cannot be used with another wireless Receiver without
repeating the pairing procedure. Friedrich Wall Controllers are pre-linked with the
card in the box.
In case of Network Installation with Remote Management, the Wall Controller and
the Receiver must be paired with a Network Programmer specic to the property
before the installation.
Wall Controller and Receiver must not be powered during the pairing procedure -
remove batteries from the Wall Controller and unplug the Receiver from the
VRP unit during the pairing procedure.
• Plug one programmer connector into the Wall Controller;
• Plug the other programmer connector into the Receiver;
• Push the black button on the programmer. The red light on the programmer
should turn on and remain steadily lit;
If the red light on the programmer is blinking or is not steadily lit, unplug the
programmer from the Wall Controller and the Receiver and repeat the steps
above.
• Unplug the programmer from the Wall Controller and the Receiver;
VPXEMWRT2-Thermostat Manual_pkg.indd 8 2017-12-15 3:37 PM

9
Mounting the Wall Controller to the wall
• Remove the Wall Controller cover;
• Use the supplied wall anchors and mounting screws to secure the Wall
Controller to the wall;
• Insert two (2) AA-cell batteries (not-supplied) into the Wall Controller battery
compartment;
• Follow the “Wall Controller Conguration” instructions;
• Replace the Wall Controller cover and screw in the locking screw;

Installing the Wireless Receiver
• Unplug the VRP®unit from power supply.
• Connect the low voltage wires to screw terminals on the VRP®unit low
voltage terminal block - refer to the Wiring Table to determine proper
connections.
• Ensure that the Wireless Receiver antenna is not touching any metal
components of the VRP®unit.
• Ensure that the Wireless Receiver antenna is facing the Wall Controller
on the wall and is oriented so that any metal parts of the VRP®unit do not
obstruct the wireless communication to the Wall Controller and, in case of a
network installation, to other wireless Receivers and the server.
• Plug the VRP®unit to power supply.

Wall Controller Installation
Installing the Wireless Receiver
Mount the Receiver as high as
possible. It MUST be higher than
the VRP unit (top)
To maximize the wireless signal
strength from the Receiver to the
VRPXEMWRT2 Wall Controller,
the Receiver MUST NOT be
installed on the VRP unit.
Note: Depending upon the closet size, an appropriate length of Field Supplied
CAT 6 cable will be required.

Wall Controller Wiring Installation
There are four sets of connections for the VRPXEMWRT2 Wall Controller. The
supplied cable from the VRPXEMWRT2 Receiver as shown in Figure 1, has four
color coded wires. Each of these wires must be connected to two Cat6 wires as
shown in Figure 2. Each connection is made with a lever type connector. Four
connectors will be needed to complete unit wiring. Each connector is capable of
connecting three wires.

Wall Controller Wiring Installation
General Connection Procedure:
1. Remove 2” of the outer sheath of the
CAT6 cable including the shield and
strip the wires.
2. Insert the specied wire from the
Receiver into a slot of the
lever connector as shown in Figure 3
and close lever as shown in Figure 4.
3. Insert two specied twisted, paired
wires from the CAT6 cable into the
remaining lever connector slot as
shown in Figure 4. Each twisted,
paired wire should be inserted into
its own separate slot in the lever
connector.
4. Close the orange lever on the lever
connector as shown in Figure 5.
Make sure the levers seat properly.
