CentaurPlus ZW and HRT4-ZW
Installation Instructions
The Horstmann CentaurPlus ZW combined wireless room stat and timeswitch
allows a combi boiler system to have a room thermostat added without the
needforanyadditionalwiring.

The device is intended to upgrade existing combi boiler systems that do not
havean existingroomthermostat. Itisnot intendedfornew installationswhere
it will be necessary to install two heating zones in order to comply with current
BuildingRegulations.

For the installer
Installation and connection should only be carried out by a suitably qualified person
and in accordance with the current edition of the IEE wiring regulations.
WARNING: Isolate mains supply before commencing installation.
An example circuit diagram for a typical combi boiler installation is shown below. This

Fitting the backplate
Once the backplate has been removed from the packaging please ensure the
timeswitch is re-sealed to prevent damage from dust, debris.
The backplate should be fitted with the wiring terminals located at the top and in a
position that allows a total clearance of at least 50mm around the unit.
Direct wall mounting
Offer the backplate to the wall in the position where the timeswitch is to be mounted,
remembering that the backplate fits to the left hand end of the control. Mark the fixing
positions through the slots on the backplate (fixing centres of 60.3mm), drill and plug
the wall, then secure the plate in position. The slots in the backplate will compensate
for any misalignments of the fixings.
Wiring box mounting
The backplate may be fitted directly onto a single gang steel flush wiring box
complying with BS4662, using two M3.5 screws. CentaurPlus controls are suitable for
mounting on a flat surface only; they must not be positioned on a surface mounted wall
box or on unearthed metal surfaces.

CentaurPlus timers are double insulted and do not require an earth connection but an
earthconnection is providedonthe backplate forterminating any cable earthconnectors.
Earth continuity must be maintained and all bare earth connectors must be sleeved.
Ensure no earth conductors are left protruding outside the central space enclosed by the
backplate.

The CentaurPlus ZW has voltage free
contacts. A link L-2 is required for mains
voltage applications
Battery reserve
The battery must be commissioned prior to fitting the timeswitch to the backplate. This
is achieved by the means of a commissioning strip situated in the back of the unit. Pull
out the battery commissioning strip at the back of the timeswitch and re-insert the
battery; the reserve is now activated. When the timeswitch is running the battery
reserve clock display will disappear. This is to prolong the life of the battery.

HRT-4ZW room thermostat
The HRT4-ZW is a wireless electronic battery powered room thermostat that uses
interoperable two-way RF mesh networking technology to provide optimum comfort with
closecontrol of theenergy used toheatthe home withoutthe need foradditionalwiring or
unsightlycableruns.
The HRT4-ZW will only operate when 2 x AAA batteries have been fitted and the
thermostatisinstalledandcommunicatingwiththeCentaurPlusZWtimer/receiverunit.

These devices use the latest Z-Wave wireless communication technology to give a
reliable wireless link that should not suffer from interference from other nearby devices.
The device comprises a thermostat (the HRT4-ZW) and its receiver (the CentaurPlus

DILswitchsettings-TPItemperaturecontrolsoftware
Thermostats using TPI (Time Proportional Integral) control algorithms will reduce the
temperature swing that normally occurs when using traditional bellows or thermally
operated thermostats.As a consequence, a TPI regulating thermostat will maintain the
comfortlevelfarmoreefficientlythananytraditionalthermostat.
When used with a condensing boiler, the TPI thermostat will help to save energy as the
control algorithm allows the boiler to operate in condensing mode more consistently
comparedtooldertypesofthermostat.

FittingtheHRT4-ZWRoomThermostat
Before final installation it is advisable to commission the product and ensure that the
Thermostat and Receiver are communicating satisfactorily. First install the 2 type AAA
batteries provided making sure that
they are fitted correctly as indicated
by the markings in the battery
compartment.
Once the thermostat and receiver
are successfully ‘paired’ the
thermostat can be installed in its
correct location. Please see Z-
Wave pairing instructions on page
8.
Avoid installing the thermostat
against or behind any large metal
surfaces which could interfere with the radio signals to and from the CentaurPlus timer
with combined receiver. The HRT4-ZW should be mounted on an internal wall
approximately 1.5 metres from floor level using the wall plate provided and should be in a
position away from draughts, direct heat and sunlight. Ensure that there will be enough
space to allow easy access to the two retaining screws located at the base of the wall
plate.
Before fixing the wall plate in position check to see that the thermostat and boiler are still
able to communicate satisfactorily by turning the thermostat temperature up and down to
switchtheboileronandoff.
Offer the plate to the wall in the position where the HRT4-
ZWistobemountedandmarkthefixingpositionsthrough
the slots in the wall plate. Drill and plug the wall, then
securetheplateintoposition.Theslotsinthe wall plate
willcompensateforanymisalignmentofthefixings.
Complete the installation by swinging the room
thermostat into position by engaging with the lugs
at the top of the wall plate before pushing it
carefully home into its plug in terminal block.

Now ensure that the heating system is responding to
the ON/OFF commands from the Room Thermostat
and explain its operation to the householder before
handingovertheUserInstructions.
