Secure CentaurPlus C17-ZW Operating instructions

1
The Secure CentaurPlus C17-ZW has the functionality of a timeswitch with the addition of
a Zwave RF interface, providing the additional capability of being controlled by a 3rd party
controller.
CentaurPlus C17-ZW allows the schedule to be locally programmed and maintained,
providing the user with up to 3on /offs per day with different timings possible for each
day of the week.
While CentaurPlus C17-ZW remains in an off period all remote commands will be ignored,
providing the user with full control of the schedule through an already well established
user interface

Programme Override Facilities
With the CentaurPlus C17-ZW timeswitch operating in the normal running mode it is
possible to alter the functionality of the programme by means of the SELECT button.
The options include:
AUTO - Timeswitch follows all programmed ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ times.
ALL DAY - Timeswitch operates from 1st ‘ON’ time until 3rd ’OFF’, ignoring all
switching times in between.
24hrs - Timeswitch will be constantly ‘ON’.
OFF - Timeswitch will be constantly ‘OFF’, there is the ability to turn off the
heating during the summer without altering the programme times.
Boost is still available.
All of the settings above will be permanent, i.e. unaffected by programme times, until
alteration by the user.
The diagram below illustrates how to alter the setting, it assumes that the programme is

The CentaurPlus C17-ZW timeswitch has a built in clock and calendar. This will mean that
you will need to enter the date as well as the time on initial set up or if the factory re-set
has been used. Having done this, the clock will automatically adjust for BST/GMT time
changes throughout the year.

Relay Operation:
The relay of CENTAURPLUS C17-ZW will operate only when it is operating in an ON schedule
and it has received an ON command from the controller (Basic Set or Binary Switch Set).
If CENTAURPLUS C17-ZW is operating in an OFF schedule or it has received an OFF command
from the controller CENTAURPLUS C17-ZW will turn OFF the relay.

Installation and connection should only be carried out by a suitably qualified person and
in accordance with the current edition of the IEE wiring regulations.
WARNING: Isolate mains supply before commencing installation.
An example circuit diagram for a typical combi boiler installation is shown below. This
diagram is schematic and should be used for guidance only.

Fitting the backplate
Once the backplate has been removed from the packaging please ensure the timeswitch
is re-sealed to prevent damage from dust, debris.
The backplate should be fitted with the wiring terminals located at the top and in a
position that allows a total clearance of at least 50mm around the unit.
Direct wall mounting
Offer the backplate to the wall in the position where the timeswitch is to be mounted,
remembering that the backplate fits to the left hand end of the control. Mark the fixing
positions through the slots on the backplate (fixing centres of 60.3mm), drill and plug the
wall, then secure the plate in position. The slots in the backplate will compensate for any
misalignments of the fixings.
Wiring box mounting
The backplate may be fitted directly onto a single gang steel flush wiring box complying
with BS4662, using two M3.5 screws. CentaurPlus controls are suitable for mounting on
a flat surface only; they must not be positioned on a surface mounted wall box or on
unearthed metal surfaces.

10
Electrical Connections
All necessary electrical connections should now be made. Flush wiring can enter from the
rear through the aperture in the backplate. Surface wiring can only enter from beneath
the timeswitch and must be securely clamped. The mains supply terminals are intended
to be connected to the supply by means of fixed wiring. Recommended cable sizes are
1.00 or 1.5mm.
CentaurPlus timers are double insulted and do not require an earth connection but an
earth connection is provided on the backplate for terminating and cable earth connectors.
Earth continuity must be maintained and all bare earth connectors must be sleeved.
Ensure no earth conductors are left protruding outside the central space enclosed by the
backplate.

The CentaurPlus ZW has voltage free contacts.
A link L-2 is required for
mains voltage applications
Rear view of CentaurPlus timeswitch
Battery reserve
The battery must be commissioned prior to fitting the timeswitch to the backplate. This is
achieved by the means of a commissioning strip situated in the back of the unit. Pull out
the battery commissioning strip at the back of the timeswitch and re-insert the battery;
the reserve is now activated. When the timeswitch is running the battery reserve clock
display will disappear. This is to prolong the life of the battery.

If surface wiring has been used, remove the knockout/insert from the bottom of the
timeswitch to accommodate it.
Loosen the two ‘captive’ retaining screws on the bottom of the backplate. Now fit the
timeswitch to the backplate, ensuring the lugs on the backplate engage with the switch.
Swing the bottom of the timeswitch into position ensuring that the connection pins on
the back of the unit locate into the terminal slots in the backplate.
Tighten the two captive retaining screws to fix the unit securely.
Then switch on the mains supply.
On completion of the installation please reset the timeswitch as detailed next;
Resetting the timeswitch
On the CentaurPlus press the SET and SELECT buttons together. Then release the
buttons and the timer will return to preset factory settings
The preset factory settings are illustrated on page 6.
The unit is now ready to be signed on to a Zwave network.

Instructions for pairing CentaurPlus ZW
This devices use the latest Z-Wave wireless communication technology to give a reliable
wireless link that should not suffer from interference from other nearby devices.
Follow these steps to ensure that the CentaurPlus C17-ZW will communicate satisfactorily
with its controller.
Inclusion/Exclusion
If the display against the radio aerial symbol is not present it means the device is not
included in any network.
For inclusion, put the controller in inclusion mode and press and hold the ‘Boost’ and
‘Enter’ buttons on the front of the CENTAURPLUS C17-ZW . Once included the indictor
next to the radio symbol will appear (solid)
Now check the CentaurPlus ZW is receiving signals from the controller by turning
CentaurPlus ZW to an ‘On’ setting with the red indicator light lit. Now send an on/off
command from the controller.
N.B. There is a half second delay in switching On and Off on receipt of the commands.
There will be an audible ‘click’ from the CentaurPlus ZW when the relay toggles.
For exclusion put the controller in exclusion mode and
Press and hold the ‘Boost’ and ‘Enter’ buttons on the
front of the CENTAURPLUS C17-ZW until an indicator
disappears in its display against the radio aerial symbol.
If the Icon next to the RF symbol is flashing, then the
unit has lost communication with the controller, try to
move the controller closer.
Press and hold ‘BOOST’ and ‘ENTER’
buttons to ‘SIGN ON’ or ‘PAIR’ the
HRT4 ZW thermostat

General Information
BATTERY
The timeswitch is fitted with a non-rechargeable, long life battery, which will maintain the
programmed time settings for a minimum of ten months with the supply disconnected.
THIS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO COVER POWER INTERRUPTIONS DURING THE LIFE OF THE UNIT.
During power interruptions the display will be blank, after 3 days the current time of day
will be lost. These measures are to prolong the battery life.
SERVICE AND REPAIR
This timeswitch is NOT user serviceable. Please do not dismantle the unit.
In the unlikely event of a fault developing please refer to the RESETTING THE TIMESWITCH
section of this user guide shown above. If this fails to resolve the problem please contact
your installer, a local heating engineer or a qualified electrician.
