Installation Guide
CM927
/ CM921 Wireless Programmable
Room Thermostat & HC60NG Receiver Box
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.

1) 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.

Table stand
• 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.
2.2.3 Locating the RoomThermostat
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:
1. 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.
2. Install the room thermostat EITHER on the wall using the wall bracket OR attach the optional table stand
as shown in below.
3. Exit the Test Mode by moving the setting slider to the required operating mode (AuTO or OFF).
2.3 System Check
Now a simple test can be completed to check the full system has been installed correctly:
1. Set the slider switch to the OFF mode.
2. Check the boiler supply is on and check that the green LED on the receiver box is off.
3. Set the slider switch to the MAN mode.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
Installation Guide

3) Basic Operation of the System
3.1 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
3.2 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.
3.3 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.
4) 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.

4.2 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:
1. Enter Installer mode as described above.
2. Press the button to enter category 2 parameters.
3. Select the parameter 7:LC by pressing the button.
4. 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.
5. Press the green button to accept the change.
6. 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.
