Outdoor sensor

0020102419_01 - 06/11 - Glow-worm - 1 -
INTRODUCTION
The outdoor sensor enables the
measurement and transmission of the
outside temperature to the heating
system. The heating system adjusts the
temperature of the heating water according
to the outside temperature.
The power is provided by a photovoltaic
cell. The outdoor sensor does not contain
any batteries to replace.
iThe wireless outdoor sensor has
been designed for use with the
Climapro2RF programmable
room thermostat or Systempro
and is not compatible with the
climastats, Climapro and the
Climapro RF.
1 Recycling
iThe recycling of the packaging
must be done by the qualified
professional who has installed
your appliance.
1.1 Appliance
Most of the outdoor sensor is made of
recyclable materials.
This symbol indicates that
this appliance should not
be deposited with common
refuse; it is to be collected
separately for its recovery,
reuse or recycling.
• Deposit the appliance at an appropriate
collection point for the treatment,
evaluation and recycling.
iBy adhering to this directive, you
are helping the environment and
contributing to the preservation
of natural resources and the
protection of human health.
1.2 Packaging
We recommend that you recycle the
packaging of the appliance in a responsible
fashion.
• Sort the waste in order to separate
those elements which can be recycled
(cardboard, plastics) and those which
cannot be recycled.
• Dispose of the waste in accordance with
existing regulations.

2 Pairing (detection)
It is possible to connect the outdoor sensor
with the Climapro2RF programmable room
thermostat (via the radio receiver) or the
Systempro control unit.

• Press the pairing button
(2), which is on the
back of the outdoor
temperature sensor.
The green LED (3) will flash
once. The outdoor sensor is
then paired.
The action is carried out simultaneously
on both the radio receiver of the room
thermostat or control unit and the outdoor
temperature sensor.

3 Settings
There are three parameters to set in the
heating system:
-the heating curve,
-the maximum flow heating temperature,
-the correction of the outdoor
temperature.
It is important that all the settings are made
on all the component parts of the heating
system:
-the Systempro control unit,
-the Climapro2RF programmable room
thermostat,
-the boiler.
iThe outdoor sensor sends data
on the outside temperature to
the room thermostat (via the
radio receiver) or the control
unit every 10 minutes.
iShould the connection to the
outdoor sensor be interrupted,
the regulation of the system will
be modified after a period of 7
days.
The Systempro control unit will
make modifications according
to an outside temperature
reading of 0 ºC (default).
The room thermostat will make
modifications without taking
into account the outdoor
temperature reading.
3.1 Adjustment of the heating curve
Choose the curve(value adjustable between
0.2 and 4), which allows you to obtain the
maximum heating flow temperature for the
usual minimum outdoor temperature for the
region in which the sensor is installed.
iComment: The lower the heat
loss of the house, the lower the
value of the heat curve required:
[0.2 - 0.6] highly insulated
modern house with low
temperature radiators or
underfloor heating,
[≈1.5] standard/modern house
with radiators,
[2.5 - 4] older properties with
radiators.
3.2 Setting the maximum flow heating
temperature.
This function, available on the control unit
and on the boiler, enables the maximum
heating output temperature to be set (value
adjustable between 30 °C
and 80 °C).
• Consult the instruction manuals of the
control unit and the boiler.
3.3 Outdoor temperature correction
This function, available on the control unit
and on the room thermostat, enables the
temperature measured by the outdoor
sensor to be corrected (+/- 5 °C at 1 °C
intervals).
• Consult the Climapro2RF instruction
manual.

4 Fault diagnosis
iFaults described in this
chapter should be carried out
by a qualified engineer and
if needed by the After Sales
Service.
In the event of a problem:
• Check the error messages in the display
zone for the room thermostat.
State Cause Solution
The room
thermostat does
not display
the external
temperature or
displays «T° ext.

• Wait a maximum of 30 minutes after pairing for the
external temperature to be displayed.
• Reduce the distance and the obstacles between the
outdoor sensor and the heating systems.

• Test the quality of the radio signal (see the installation
notice for the room thermostat).
• If the result of the test is «connection error», reduce the
distance and the obstacles between the outdoor sensor
and the heating system.
