User Instructions
The RT322 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.
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.
When the thermostat is in the ‘call for heat’ condition a flame symbol will appear
in the display.
The aerial symbol complete with radio wave symbols in the display of the
RT322 thermostat indicates that it is communicating satisfactorily with the
receiver.
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 on page 10.
A radio mast symbol with no radio waves indicates that the RT322 has not been
signed on to enable it to communicate with the receiver. 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 instructions on page 10.

Battery replacement
The RT322 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.
Please dispose off the batteries responsibly.
Receiver unit
The receiver unit receives the Z-Wave radio signals from the
room thermostat. In the unlikely event of a communication
failure it is possible to override the system and switch On and
Off using the On/Off buttons on the receiver as a local override.
If the override is used to override the thermostat when it is
functioning correctly then the override will be cancelled by the
next switching operation of the thermostat and normal
operation will be resumed. In any case, with no further
intervention, normal operation will be restored within one hour
of the override being operated.

Installation Instructions
Installing the Receiver
The receiver should be located as near as is practical to the
boiler or zone valve to be controlled, as well as a convenient
mains electricity supply. To remove the wall plate from the
receiver, undo the two retaining screws located on the
underside, the wall plate should now be easily removed. Once
the wall plate has been removed from the packaging please
ensure the receiver is re-sealed to prevent damage from dust,
debris etc.
The wall plate should be fitted with the retaining screws located
at the bottom and in a position which allows a total clearance of
at least 50mm around the receiver.
Direct Wall Mounting
Offer the plate to the wall in the position where the receiver is to be mounted and mark the
fixing positions through the slots in the wall plate. Drill and plug the wall, then secure the
plate into position. The slots in the wall plate will compensate for any misalignment of the
fixings.
Wall Box Mounting
The wall plate may be fitted directly on to a single gang flush wiring box complying with
BS4662, using two M3.5 screws. The receiver is suitable for mounting on a flat surface
only; it is not suitable for mounting on an unearthed metal surface.

Electrical Connections
WARNING: ISOLATE THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION
As the RT322 is a wireless product with no electrical connections all electrical wiring will
be made to the receiver.
All necessary electrical connections should now be made. Flush wiring can enter from the
rear through the aperture in the backplate.
The mains supply terminals are intended to be connected to the supply by means of fixed
wiring.
The receiver is mains powered and requires a 3 Amp fused spur.
The recommended cable size is 1.Omm2.
The receiver is double insulated and does not require an earth connection, an earth
connection block is provided on the backplate for terminating any cable earth conductors.
Earth continuity must be maintained and all bare earth conductors must be sleeved.
Ensure that no conductors are left protruding outside the central space enclosed by the
backplate.
Two example circuit diagrams for typical boiler installations are shown on page 7. These
diagrams are schematic and should be used for guidance only. Please ensure that all
installations comply with the current IEE regulations and the boiler manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
For reasons of space and clarity not every connection has been included and the
diagrams have been simplified, for instance some earth connections have been omitted.

Fitting the RT322 Room Thermostat
Before final installation it is advisable to commission the product and ensure that the
Thermostat and Receiver are communicating satisfactorily. First install the 2 x type
AAA batteries provided making sure that they are fitted correctly as indicated by the
markings in the battery compartment. Once the thermostat and receiver are
successfully ‘paired’ the thermostat can be installed in its correct location. Please see
Z-Wave pairing instructions on page 10.
Avoid installing the thermostat against or behind any large metal surfaces which could
interfere with the radio signals to and from the receiver. The RT322 should be mounted on
an internal wall approximately 1.5 metres from floor level using the wall plate provided and
should be in a position away from draughts, direct heat and sunlight. Ensure that there will
be enough space to allow easy access to the two retaining screws located at the base of
the wall plate.
Before fixing the wall plate in position check to see that
the thermostat and Receiver are still able to
communicate satisfactorily by turning the thermostat
temperature up and down to switch the receiver on
and off.
Offer the plate to the wall in the position where the
is to be mounted and mark the fixing positions
through the slots in the wall plate. Drill and plug the
wall, then secure the plate into position. The slots in
the wall plate will compensate for any misalignment of
the fixings.
Complete the installation by swinging the room
thermostat into position by engaging with the lugs at
the top of the wall plate before pushing it carefully into
its plug-in terminal block.
Tighten the 2 captive screws on the underside of the
unit.
Now ensure that the heating system is responding to
the ON/OFF commands from the Room Thermostat
and explain its operation to the householder before
handing over these User Instructions.

DIL switch settings – TPI temperature control software
Thermostats using TPI (Time Proportional Integral) control algorithms will reduce the
temperature swing that normally occurs when using traditional bellows or thermally
operated thermostats.
As a consequence, a TPI regulating thermostat will maintain the comfort level far more
efficiently than any traditional thermostat.
When used with a condensing boiler, the TPI thermostat will help to save energy as the
control algorithm allows the boiler to operate in condensing mode more consistently
compared to older types of thermostat.
ŸDIL switch numbers 7 and 8 should be set as diagram
opposite.
ŸFor Gas boilers set the TPI setting to 6 cycles per hour.
(Default setting)
ŸFor Oil boilers set the TPI setting to 3 cycles per hour.
ŸFor Electric heating set the TPI setting to 12 cycles per hour.
