PATENT PENDING
Application example: WORCESTER-BOSCH Boiler Installation
Warnings :
• Product is not independently isolated, ISOLATE the mains electricity supply before
removing the cover and observe any relevant safety precautions. Maintenance to the
product that involves removal of the cover should only be carried out by a competent
person or qualified electrician.
• F2 Fuse rating is 4A (T) 250 H (Ceramic). Replace fuse with same type and rating.
• Relay is rated at 10A peak, and 5A constant.
• Product must be connected to a switch fused (spur/supply) or BS 1363 Plug. It is
recommended a single Fuse Spur is used to supply the Boiler and MAINSLINK-PRO
jointly so that they are isolated together

This system provides two functions, Switching of the Pump from the boiler and Switching of the
Boiler from the wiring Centre.
Connections at the Boiler
The boiler output to the Pump is connected to the MAINSLINK-PRO A, (Lin)
The boiler switching input is connected to the MAINSLINK-PRO A (Lout)
It is recommended to use a single switch fuse spur to supply the Boiler and Mainslink together. (so
that both appliances are isolated together)
Connections at the Wiring Centre
The thermostats switching output to switch the boiler is connected to the MAINSLINK-PRO B (Lin)
The Pump is connected to the MAINSLINK-PRO B (Lout)
Operation
When the wiring centre commands the Boiler ON MAINSLINK-PRO B (Lin) is switched is Live then
MAINSLINK-PRO A Lout will automatically switch a LIVE signal to turn the boiler on.
When the Boiler switches the Pump drive ON MAINSLINK-PRO, (Lin) “A” is switched Live then

Watchdog Signal
MAISNLINK-PRO automatically transmits an rf ‘watchdog’ signal every ~30secs in the back-
ground. If the WDOG signal is not received within 90seconds, the output will drop out and
comms LED will flash.
This provides improved reliability and security useful in noisy or poor reception areas.
Multiple System Operation:
Each MAINSLINK-PRO system contains a unique identity so multiple systems can operate within
the same area without interfering with each other.

Fixing Instructions:
1.Fix the rear of the MAINSLINK-PRO enclosure to the wall using the template above.
2.Ensure that all fixing screws are screwed flush to the enclosure.
3.Ensure that the screw covers are put in place. These ensure water proofing and insulate the
PCB from the wall fixing screws. Screw Covers are found inside the rear of the enclosure.
4.Once the enclosure is fixed to the wall, screw on the front plate with the PCB in place.
Dimensions and Wall mounting information:
MAINSLINK-PRO is a professional use product and should only be installed by a competent
person. The product must be FIXED to the wall (EN60950 4.1)

2. Briefly place a magnet across enclosure (top left corner
as shown) to activate the internal reed switch.
3. The GREEN comms LED will flash 3 times to show in Pair-
ing Mode
Advanced Operation—Pairing together two MAINSLINK-PROs
NOTE: This system does not require pairing , they are supplied ready to operate!
This process is described for advanced use only.
Erasing a MAINSLINK-PRO
3. Apply 230Vac to the second MAINSLINK-PRO
4. Briefly place a magnet across enclosure (top left corner as

WDOG - WATCHDOG
When the WDOG link is fitted each MAINSLINKPRO automatically sends a background watch-
dog RF signal and expects to receive a corresponding WDOG signal from its partner.
If the WDOG signal is not received within 90seconds, the output will drop out and comms LED
will flash.
This provides improved reliability and security useful in noisy or poor reception areas.
MODE
LORA Mode 3, Faster operation shorter range (Line of sight upto 3Km / 500m in buildings)
This mode is recommended for general operation,
LORA Mode 7, Slower operation Long range (Line of sight upto 5Km / 1Km in buildings)
This mode can be used where additional RF penetration / range is required
Note! In this mode a transmitted signal can take 2 seconds to trigger the receiver.
MOM/LAT - Momentary or Latching
Sets the Relay changeover contacts to operate as Momentary or Latching.
MOMENATRY: used for MAINSLINK TO MAINSLINK
LATCHING: is used when MAINSLKINK is being controlled from an RF Solutions hand held Re-
mote transmitter.
Switching Lower Power LED Lights
Mainslink incorporates a “snubber” protection circuit which
is recommended when motor switching. This is incorpo-
rated when Jumper Link J2 is connected between pins 1 & 2
(horizontally across the top pins)
If using MAINSLINK to switch lower power LED lighting the
snubber circuit can cause the LED lights to faintly glow.
To remove this the snubber circuit can be removed by taking
out the Snubber Jumper link as the image shows
