B. LOCATION
GUIDELINES
The Halo uses wireless Zigbee
communication between the
control and the Smart Interface,
up to a maximum range of 30
metres. Occasionally house
construction and materials can
reduce this communication
range and it is advisable,
where possible, to try and
avoid directing communication
through metal frames or solid
concrete walls.
If the distance between the
Halo and Smart Interface is
above 30 metres or the install
location is challenging, consider
using the Ideal Zigbee Booster
(Product Code: 221132) or
mounting the Smart Interface
externally to the boiler using
a bracket (Product Code:
220366). Further details on this
at www.idealboilers.com

1. Mounted 1.2-1.5m above the floor 2. Not above a radiator/heat source
3. Not in direct sunlight 4. Away from any drafts
5. Not fitted behind curtains 6. Internal use only

1. The Halo can be installed with
or without the provided trim plate.
3. Insert the 4 AA batteries provided into the front
housing of the Halo. Pay close attention that the
orientation of the batteries is as indicated in the
housing.
4. Locate the front housing (display) in position
paralell to the rear housing and clip
into place.

If no trim plate is required, use the rear housing
of the Halo to position the unit on the wall,
alternatively secure rear housing to trim plate.
Take care not to overtighten the screws.
C. INSTALLATION OF THE HALO
The Halo can be either wall mounted or desk mounted.
Wall mounting the Halo
If there are any concerns regarding signal strength and location of the wall mounted Halo it is advisable to
pair the control (section E) and check signal strength before fixing to the wall.

Desk mounting the Halo
1. The Halo has an integrated rear housing and desk
stand.
2. Insert the 4 AA batteries provided into the front
housing of the Halo. Pay close attention that the
orientation of the batteries is as indicated in the
housing.
3. Clip the combined rear housing and desk stand
into place.

1. Isolate mains supply to boiler.
D. INSTALLATION OF THE SMART INTERFACE
To install the Halo Smart Interface into a new boiler with serial letter code AFQ (found on the data plate)

are on the left and low voltage on the right).
3. If existing 230V device is already installed
remove wiring from the 230V connections
and add the link wire into the room stat/timer
connection (see diagram). On brand new boilers
the link will already be in this position.
