Attaching the wall mount to a back box.
The unit has not been designed for back box mounting, care must be taken to ensure that the wall mount
is level with the surrounding wall. This can usually be achieved by using several washers to pack out the
wall mount where it mounts onto the backbox. Note that the 2nd wall mount screw hole will not line up
with the back box screw hole. You will need to mount this screw into the wall next to the back box, using
a wall plug if required. DO NOT drill the wall mount to use the 2nd back box screw hole.
Wiring
Your new room thermostat is a two wire device. Therefore it only requires
Live (L) and Switched Live (SL). It does not matter which wire is connected
to which terminal. If you have a Neutral and/or an earth present, these are
not required and should be made safe.
• Ensure you do not break the earth continuity of the circuit.
• Ensure that the circuit is protected by a 3 amp fuse.
WARNING
Great care must be taken to ensure that your Room Thermostat is wired correctly. Incorrect wiring
can be dangerous and could result in a blown fuse and / or a damaged Room Thermostat. Inspire
Home Automation will not accept any liability whatsoever for damage caused to your central heating
system and/or electrical system as a result of the incorrect wiring of the Thermostat. Also damage
to the Thermostat due to incorrect wiring is not covered by your guarantee. If you are in any doubt
whatsoever about the wiring, we strongly recommend that you consult a qualified electrician or
heating engineer.
Prepare the two cables by stripping 5mm off the wire ends. Then insert the two wires into the connector
and tighten the connector screws. Ensure the wires are securely in place by slightly tugging on them. Also
make sure that no bare wire is showing outside the connector block. If it is, remove the wire and remedy
the issue. Finally, screw the Wiring Cover over the wall mount using the supplied screws.
Install the supplied batteries into the back of the room thermostat, and ensure that the display is
illuminated.
It is easiest to start the two securing screws off before placing it on the wall, however do ensure that
these screws do not protrude inside the room thermostat.
Carefully locate the Room Thermostat over the wall mount, taking great care not to damage the spring
pins on the back. The room thermostat should slide over the wall mount with little effort. If it does not, do
not force it, but check the following then try again
• Securing screws do not protrude into the thermostat
• Wiring cover is located correctly
• Wall mount screws are the correct size
Hold the room thermostat in place and lightly tighten the screws underneath to secure the unit – these
screws only need the lightest of pressure and must not be over tightened
