CP318
USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The CP318 combined wireless room stat and time control allows
a combi boiler system to have a room thermostat added without
the need for any additional wiring.
Replacing the existing time controller with the CP318 will allow the
room thermostat to be connected wirelessly producing immediate
energy savings in houses where no previous room thermostat
has been fitted.
The device is intended to upgrade existing combi boiler systems
that do not have an existing room thermostat. It is not intended for
new installations where it will be necessary to install two heating
zones in order to comply with current Building Regulations.
Combined Timeswitch and Room Thermostat
1

The CP318 is a timeswitch which is connected to its own room
thermostat - using the latest Z-wave wireless technology.
Where it has been used to replace your existing time control it is
likely that there was no room thermostat fitted previously.
The addition of this room thermostat will make considerable
energy savings which independent tests have shown could be as
much as 10% off your energy bills.
The thermostat uses the latest micro-processor controlled energy
saving software – known as TPI - which is a very accurate
temperature control method compared to older style mechanical
room thermostats. It runs on two AAA batteries which should last
more than 2 years and a battery low indicator will appear in the
display of the thermostat when they need changing.
The timeswitch is mains powered with a reserve battery to retain
its memory during power cuts. It will allow up to 3 On/Off settings
per day for each day of the week and has a 1 hour boost button
and an On/Off advance button.
There is also a programme override allowing the permanent
selection of OFF/ON/AUTO/ALL DAY.
General system - explanation for householder
2

The room thermostat will only operate during
‘On’ periods set by the time control which is
always indicated by the red neon indicator light
on the front. If there is no light then the heating
is ‘Off’ and the room thermostat is inoperative.
When the timeswitch is ‘On’ (shown by the red
indicator light) the thermostat will be
operational and will provide very accurate
control of the room temperature.
When the thermostat is ‘calling’ for heat the flame
symbol will appear in the thermostat display and if the
timeswitch is ‘On’ the heating will be operative and will
run under the control of the timeswitch and the
temperature set on the room thermostat.
The thermostat is silent in operation – it does not ‘click’ on and off
like older style thermostats. The contacts on the timeswitch will
do the actual switching rather than the thermostat which is linked
to it by Z wave wireless signals.
The indicator against the radio mast
symbol on the CP318 shows that the
radio link is established.
A flashing indicator means that the
wireless connection has been
temporarily lost. This is usually restored
by going to the thermostat and turning
the dial up and down.
If no indicator is present next to the radio mast symbol then this
would suggest that the timeswitch and the thermostat have not
been paired correctly on installation. (See pairing instructions in
the Installation Guide).

What is a programmer?
... an explantion for householders.
Programmers allow you to set ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time periods. Some
models switch the central heating and domestic hot water on and
off at the same time; while others allow the domestic hot
waterand heating to come on and go off at different times. Set the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ time periods to suit your own lifestyle. On some
programmers you must also set whether you want the heating
and hot water to run continuously, run under the chosen ‘On’ and
‘Off’ heating periods, or be permanently off.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have
to be adjusted in Spring and Autumn at the changes between
Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time. You may be
able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example,
‘Override’, ‘Advance’ or ‘Boost’. These are explained in the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The heating will not work if the room thermostat has switched the
heating off. And, if you have a hot-water cylinder, the water
heating will not work if the cylinder thermostat detects that the hot
water has reached the correct temperature.
The above explanation also applies to your timeswitch,
which operates as a single circuit programmer.

What is a room thermostat?
...an explanation for householders
A room thermostat simply switches the heating system on and off
as necessary. It works by sensing the air temperature, switching
on the heating when the air temperature falls below the
thermostat setting and switching it off once this set temperature
has been reached.
Turning a room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the
room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends
on the design of the heating system, for example, the size of
boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down.
Turning a room thermostat to a lower setting will result in the room
being controlled at a lower temperature and saves energy.
The heating system will not work if a time switch or programmer
has switched it off.
The way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowest
temperature setting that you are comfortable with, and then leave
it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to set the room
thermostat to a low temperature – say 18¡C – and then turn it up
by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the
temperature. You won’t have to adjust the thermostat further. Any
adjustment above this setting will waste energy and cost you
more money.
5

If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually
be only one room thermostat to control the whole house. But you
can have different temperatures in individual rooms by installing
thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on individual radiators.
If you don’t have TRVs, you should choose a temperature that is
reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you can
choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the
coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in
other rooms by adjusting the TRVs.
Room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the
temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked
by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps
may prevent the thermostat from working properly.

The CP318 thermostat uses the
latest control technology to
provide extremely accurate
temperature control which will
help to keep your energy usage
as low as possible without
affecting your comfort levels. In
fact comfort levels may well be
improved as the control
accuracy should ensure that the
room does not ‘overheat’ before
switching off.
The display will show the required temperature setting and can
be adjusted in increments of 1°C. To adjust the required
temperature setting turn the dial anti clockwise to decrease it and
clockwise to increase it.
When the thermostat is in the ‘call for heat’
condition a flame symbol will appear in the display.
Pressing the temperature setting dial will allow the
user to check the current actual measured room
temperature which will be displayed for approx 7
seconds before returning to the set temperature.

Battery should
be changed
immediately
Low battery symbol
appears first when
the batteries are
nearing the end of
their life.
14
The aerial symbol complete with radio wave symbols
in the display of the thermostat indicates that it is
communicating satisfactorily with the timeswitch.
A flashing radio wave indicates a loss of
communication. This may be temporary and can
often be restored by turning the thermostat dial and increasing or
decreasing the temperature to make the thermostat switch. If this
has no effect please see Z-Wave pairing instructions.
A radio mast symbol with no radio waves indicates
that the thermostat has not been signed on to enable
it to communicate with the timeswitch. In this case
you may wish to contact the Installer as the
indication is that the product has not been
commissioned when the installation took place.
Alternatively see the Z-Wave pairing details contained in the
Installation Instructions. Further information on how the
thermostat operates is contained in the ‘Explanation for
householders’ that precedes this section.
Battery Replacement
The thermostat runs on 2 x type
AAA (Alkaline) non rechargeable
batteries and is designed to give
a battery life of approximately
two years.
When the batteries are nearing the end of their life a low battery
symbol will appear in the display and the batteries should be
changed within a few days. If the batteries are not changed at this
point eventually a ‘LO’ battery message flashes intermittently in
the display and if this happens the batteries should be changed
immediately.

To change the batteries it is necessary to remove the
thermostat from the wall. To do this first undo the two captive
screws at the base of the thermostat and swing the thermostat
up and away from the wall plate.
Remove the old batteries and replace them
with two new AAA size alkaline batteries
ensuring that they are fitted correctly as
indicated by the terminal markings in the
battery compartments.
Once the batteries are fitted, re-fit the
thermostat to the wall plate by engaging with
the lugs at the top of the wall plate and push the thermostat into
position. Locate it over the captive screws at the base of the wall
plate and tighten so that the thermostat is locked into position.
Check the temperature setting is correct and adjust if
necessary.
