Introduction
The Ignite wired Thermostat is designed to replace an existing wired Thermostat in a
property. Please ensure your existing Thermostat has at least a 3 core cable.
If you do not have an existing wired Thermostat, you would need to run a cable, or consider
using our Ignite Wireless series. Once installed, your central heating can be switched on and
off in response to commands from the Thermostat or remotely using a computer or Smart
Phone.

Ignite Installation Guide Rev 1.0
WARNING Electricity is dangerous. Before commencing work, ensure that you read and understand these
instructions and isolate the relevant circuit. This product should only be installed by a qualified electrician or
heating engineer and should be installed in accordance to BS 7671 (IEE Wiring Regulations), or to another
equivalent standard.

Radio Signal
The Thermostat uses WiFi, so you need a WiFi signal where the Thermostat is located.
You can use your phone to get a good indication of signal strength, hold this against the wall
where the Thermostat is located.
If you cannot get a good signal, consider using a Wifi Range extender to help boost the
signal around the property.

Bad Positioning
The below image shows the path that the signal will travel to communicate between the
Router and Thermostat. This is an example of badly positioned items for the following
reasons.
The signal travels between 2 external walls.
Good Positioning
Simply by moving the router slightly to the right we have greatly improved the signal.
The signal will now only travel through one internal wall

Installation
Removal of your old Thermostat (if applicable)
Ensure that your electrical supply is isolated, then remove your old Room Thermostat from
the wall. Make a careful note of all wiring locations of the existing Thermostat before
removing any wires. Note that the colour codes are not standard.
These should be
• Live or L
• Switch, Switched Live (or Ls, Lr)
• Neutral or N
• Earth or E (optional)
Preparing your new Thermostat
There is a back panel that can be used to fully cover single gang back boxes.
If this is not required, it can be removed from the wallmount by twisting it anti-clockwise.
(Fig 1)
Pull the thermostat away from the wall mount. (Fig 2)
Finally, remove the Wiring cover from the wall mount by undoing the screw and pulling this
away. (Fig 3)

Installing the Wall Mount
For reliable operation, the Thermostat must mount correctly
on the wall mount.
If you have a single gang back box, secure the wall
mount to this using the two M3 screws provided.
If you do not have an existing back box then, using the wall
mount as a template, mark the location of the two holes on
the wall. For reference, the two holes are 60.3 mm apart.
Drill suitable holes (6mm diameter for the supplied wall
plugs) and fix the wall mount to the wall using appropriate wall plugs and screws.
WARNING be aware of any buried cables before drilling.
We would recommend using our supplied screws where possible. If not, ensure the screw
heads do not protrude above the surrounding wall mount plastic.
This unit is designed for fixed wiring only. Wire the unit up following the appropriate circuit
schematic for your heating system type, ensuring that all wires are securely held and that
no bare copper is visible outside the connector block. For ease of wiring, we recommend
1mm2 cable. All wiring should conform to the current IEEE wiring regulations. When
replacing an existing Thermostat, the wiring conversion table, on page 7, may be of
assistance.
All diagrams are in schematic form and earths have been omitted on the drawings for
clarity. This is a class 2 device and does not require an earth. Ensure that you do not break
earth continuity to the rest of the circuit. You may need to join the existing earth leads
together using a terminal strip. Ensure that the circuit is protected by a 3 amp fuse. 5

After the wiring has been completed, push the wiring cover into place and
secure using the screw provided. (Fig 10)
Finally place the Thermostat over the cover, this will click into place. (Fig 11)

Testing the system
If the central heating times were controlled by a programmer or timer (external or integrated
into the boiler) and these are still wired into the system, these must be left switched to On
or Continuous.
The room containing the Thermostat must not have a Thermostat Radiator Valve (TRV) fitted
to the radiator(s). If this is the case, this must be removed.
Restore power to the circuit, the Thermostat screen should be illuminated.
Press the 'CH MODE' key until the CH Selector hovers over Man.
Press the '/\' key until the temperature is above the room temperature.
You should see a flame icon appear and hear the relay click within the unit. Check that the
boiler has fired up and any zone valves have moved to their appropriate positions.
Press the 'CH MODE' key again. You should hear the relay click off, the flame icon will go
out and boiler should no longer be on (please allow a few minutes for the boiler to switch
off).
Please leave this installation manual with the user.
