INTR DUCTI N
The gnite Wireless series is designed to control a typical domestic central heating
system. The system can switch two independent channels. This would usually be
the Central Heating and the Hot Water (if applicable).
f you do not have a typical gas / oil fired central heating system, please see
www.inspirehomeautomation.co.uk/other_heating for further information.
The central heating channel is switched on and off in response to commands
from the supplied Thermostat.
The hot water channel (if applicable) is switched on and off at the programmed
time intervals that the user sets. (When in Auto Mode)
Once installed, your central heating and hot water can be switched on and off in
response to commands from the Thermostat or remotely using a computer or
Smart Phone.

RADI SIGNAL AND L CATI N
Consideration for location of your Thermostat and Receiver, and the affects that
this may have on the radio signal is extremely important. The signal will travel
between units in a straight line and will degrade both with distance and (much
more importantly) objects that it has to pass through.

f you have a large number of WiFi devices in the property or you cannot get a
good WiFi signal at your Receiver location (you can use your phone to get a good
indication of WiFi signal strength), then we would strongly recommend that you
upgrade your WiFi Network. Please see www.inspirehomeautomation.co.uk/wifi
for further help and advice.
Unlike the Receiver, that connects via WiFi, the Thermostat connects to the
Receiver via its internal low power radio. (RF).
Every house is different and this is NOT a guarantee, but as a guide, the
Thermostat and Receiver should be able to communicate with each other
through two single skin brick or stud walls.
f the above is not possible, consider adding an gnite Signal Booster to increase
the range. (please see www.inspirehomeautomation.co.uk/signal_booster )
Fig 1 shows two possible Thermostat locations, and the path that the signal will
travel to communicate between the Receiver and Thermostat. f the Thermostat
is located at "B", the signal will need to go through two external walls.
f the Thermostat is located at "A", it will have a significantly better signal as it will
only have to travel through one internal wall.

Fig 1

5
As shown in Fig 3 , ideally the Thermostat should be mounted on an internal wall at
a height of 1 .5m. Avoid locating near draughts such as the front door or windows.
Do not position above heat sources and avoid direct sunlight.
Fig 2 shows another two possible positions. The Thermostat located at "B" will
have the signal travelling entirely through a solid wall. This will create a very poor
signal, or no signal at all.
When moved to position "A" the signal will be considerably stronger.
Fig 2
Fig 3

We recommend placing the Receiver at least 1 metre away from metal objects
such as boilers, hot water cylinders etc ( Fig 5 ). To avoid potential water
damage, do not install underneath the boiler.
Fig 4
Fig 5
The room where the
Thermostat is
located must have a working
radiator and the Thermostatic
Radiator Valve (TRV) must be
removed if present.
Most TRV's can be removed by
turning it up to the maximum
setting, gently pushing down
from the top and undoing the
metal collar. Once undone, it
will lift off the radiator.

INSTALLATI N
Before commencing work, isolate the existing power supply.
To remove the front cover, undo the two screws on the Receiver, then lift off.
This unit is designed for fixed wiring only. f running surface mount cable, use
cutters to break out the tab underneath and secure cable(s) with the supplied
cable clamp. Surface mount cable should be clipped to the wall or ran in suitable
trunking, 1mm2cable is recommended and no bare copper should be visible
outside the connector block. All wiring must conform to the current EEE wiring
regulations.
The gnite Receiver is a class 2 device and does not require an earth. You may
need to join existing earth leads together using a terminal strip to maintain earth
continuity to the rest of the circuit. Ensure that the circuit is protected by a 3
amp fuse.
C MBI B ILER WITH UT R M THERM STAT R TIMER
(No hot water cylinder, Boiler fires when hot tap is opened)
nstall the gnite Receiver as described in Installation - Wall Mount on page 11.
We recommend that any internal timers are disconnected if possible.
Please consult your boiler installation manual for guidance on how to wire in
external controls. Usually, there will be a wire link to remove on the boiler terminal
block, then these two terminals are wired to terminals 3 & 4 on the nspire
Terminal board as shown in Fig 6 .
Connect the Receiver Live(L) and Neutral(N) to the same fused spur as the boiler.
7
Fig 6

The majority of combi boilers can be wired using the 4 wire installation method. f
your boiler manual suggests a 3 wire install, then refer to Fig 7 , remembering to
remove the link wire in the boiler (if required) and add a link wire between
terminals 4 & 5 on the Receiver.
After the wiring has been completed, replace the front cover and secure using the
two screws - D N T VERTIGHTEN . Restore power to the circuit.
C MBI B ILER WITH EXISTING R M THERM STAT
Wired Thermostat
Remove the existing Thermostat wiring from the boiler, then follow the steps on
page 7 for "Combi Boiler without Room Thermostat or Timer" .
Wireless Thermostat with built in receiver
Wireless Thermostats with a receiver built into the front panel of the boiler, (e.g.
Drayton LP10RF) this MUST be removed from the boiler. Then follow the steps on
page 7 for "Combi Boiler without Room Thermostat or Timer" .
Wireless Thermostat with external receiver
Make a careful note of the locations of the existing wiring at the receiver, then
remove the old receiver.
nstall the gnite Receiver as described in Installation - Wall Mount on page 11.
nstall the previously identified wires into the appropriate terminals on the gnite
Receiver. f 4 wires are present, see Fig 6 . f only 3 wires, then see Fig 7 ,
remembering to add the link wire between terminals 4 & 5.
After the wiring has been completed, replace the front cover and secure using the
two screws - D N T VERTIGHTEN . Restore power to the circuit. 8

SYSTEM B ILER WITH EXISTING C NTR LS
System Boiler with existing 2 channel programmer and optional Thermostat
**Before commencing, take clear photos of the existing programmer wiring**
S Plan (2 x 2 port zone valves, usually near hot water cylinder)
Usually 4 Wires to existing programmer, Live, Neutral, CH ON, HW ON. (CH OFF and
HW OFF not used)
Y plan (1 x 3 port zone valve, usually near the hot water cylinder)
Usually 5 wires to existing programmer, Live, Neutral, CH ON, HW ON, HW OFF. (CH
OFF not used)
Existing programmers will usually have 6 or 8 terminals (Plus possibly an earth
terminal)
There should also be a wiring schematic on the existing programmer (see Fig 8 ).
Using this schematic, identify and label each wire according to its function , e.g.
Live, Neutral, CH ON/OFF, HW ON/OFF etc. f the programmer has 8 terminals, with
‘C’, ‘Com’ or ‘Common’ AND these terminals are linked to Live, then ignore the links
and identify the remaining wires. f the existing programmer uses the notation NO
(Normally Open) & NC (Normally Closed), NO = ON and NC = OFF
Fig 8

Once each wire is identified, remove the existing wires from the old programmer
and install the nspire gnite Receiver as described in Installation - Wall Mount on
page 11.
nstall the previously identified wires into the appropriate terminals (see Fig 9 ). As
an example, the black wire in terminal 4 of the old programmer is identified as "CH
ON" from the existing programmer schematic. This would go into terminal 3 "CH
ON" on the new gnite Receiver.
Finally, add a link wire between terminals 4 & 5 on the Receiver.
After the wiring has been completed, replace the front cover and secure using the
two screws - D N T VERTIGHTEN . Restore power to the circuit.
SYSTEM B ILER WITH UT EXISTING C NTR LS
f the boiler has been newly installed and you do not have any controls, please
wire as a standard S or Y Plan. See www.inspirehomeautomation.co.uk/newboiler
for more information.
