Mounting Location
To ensure convenience of use, the RWB2 should be
fitted in a position which allows easy access. It is
recommended that the unit is placed at a height of
1.4 metres from the floor.
NB: The RWB2 should not be installed in locations
that are directly exposed to water splashes or steam
from cooking utensils and kettles etc.
Backplate
The RWB2 is supplied with the industry standard
backplate to which the system must be wired. The
backplate can be fitted directly to the wall or on to a
conduit box. If a conduit box is fitted, all wiring to the
backplate should pass through the base. Only
conduit boxes which comply with BS1363 or BS4662
(single gang should be used). The backplate is the
same as that used with: RWB20, RWB40, RWB200
series and RWBXP Programmers plus Potterton
Miniminder and Gloworm Mastermind.
When the RWB2 is used as a direct replacement no
re-wiring is necessary, (except in the case of the
RWB20 when a neutral will be required, if one is not
present).
RWB2 Programmer
Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT!
Please read this before installing your unit.
1. Select 10 or 16 way programme before clipping
unit onto backplate. (See Fig. 6).
2. Complete wiring to backplate, clip programmer
onto backplate,
power up and rotate dial
through a full 24 hour rotation.

INSTALLATION AND USER INSTRUCTIONS - RWB2
It is good wiring practice that the supply to the unit
should be via a two pole disconnection providing at least
3mm air gap.
Line voltage applied to terminals 3 and 4 when the
programmer is in the ON position for HW and CH and to
terminals 1 and 2 when it is in the OFF position.Terminals
N, L, 1, 2, 3 and 4 connect the controls for domestic hot
water and central heating applications. (See Figs. 3, 4 and 5).
The programmers are factory set to give 10 combinations
of HW and CH, the 10 programme position is normally
used when the hot water is on a gravity system. In this
case it is not possible to have CH without HW (See Fig. 3
for wiring diagram). If 16 programmes are required then
refer to programme selection. (Fig. 6).
The 16 programme position is normally used on a fully
pumped system using 2 or 3 port valves, thus allowing
independent control of HW and CH. (See Figs. 4 and 5for
wiring diagrams).
NOTE: All external wiring must comply with current IEE
regulations. Wiring of this unit should be carried out by a
qualified electrician.Whilst every effort is made to ensure
accuracy of the instructions given, you will appreciate
that discrepancies may occur due to a variety of reasons
outside our control. If, after wiring your system, you find
that it does not work properly you should:-
•Check that you have used the correct system
and wired it correctly.
•Ensure no wiring links have been missed and
all screws are tight.
•Check with Landis & Staefa - there may be a
simple explanation.

01952 602048 – Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm.
NB: This unit must not be used for control of immersion
heaters.
Programmer range selectors
This programmer is supplied in the 10 position mode
suitable for the system as in Fig. 3.When using systems
shown in Figs. 4 and 5you should carry out the following:
1. Selector sliders must be in the following position:
HW - OFF
CH - OFF
2. Insert a small, flat bladed screwdriver into the
square opening with the flat end horizontal, then
push fully up to the top of the slot opening.
3. Also move switch from 10 to 16 position, i.e. from
left to right.

Fitting the Unit to the Backplate
Tilt the bottom of the case away from the wall, locate the
two slots in the top of the case over the two tabs at the
top of the backplate. Push the bottom of the case towards
the wall, slotting the two backplate screws into the
bottom of the case, and tighten the screws.This enables
the contacts in the unit to engage with those in the
backplate.

Introduction
The RWB2 is an advanced daily programmer
combining the benefits of electronic reliability and
ease of use with mechanical dial operation.
Please take a little time to read these operating
instructions carefully.
For installation see enclosed instructions.
Features
-Up to 2 ON/OFF periods per day.
- ADVANCE feature to bring forward the next ON or
OFF period as required.
- BOOST feature to give an immediate 1 hour ON
period at any time.
- Remembers last condition (i.e. ON or OFF) in the
event of power failure.
- Suitable for either gravity hot water and pumped
heating or fully pumped systems.
Factory Settings
Before leaving the factory your RWB2 was
programmed to switch your system ON and OFF at
the following times:
ON at 6.00 a.m. OFF at 8.30 a.m.
ON at 4.30 p.m. OFF at 10.30 p.m.
To activate this base programme: ROTATE CLOCK
DIAL CLOCKWISE THROUGH A FULL 24 HOUR
PERIOD, ANDTHEN SET DIALTO CORRECTTIME.
(See Adjusting the Clock (Dial Time)
Operating Controls
All controls for daily use are located on and to the
right hand side of the dial.
Setting the Switching Programme
The top selector HEATING and the bottom selector
HOTWATER allows you to select the daily pattern you
require. To make your selection slide the relevant
selector so that the vertical mark is pointing to the
desired position as below.
OFF - Continuously OFF
TWICE - The unit will switch ON and OFF according
to the morning and evening settings.

Using Override (Advance)
To advance the programme, that is to bring forward
the next ON or OFF period as shown in the example
below, press the override button for the relevant
circuit (i.e. HEATING OR HOT WATER. If both circuits
are to be advanced each circuit should be treated as
a separate function.
NB: If the RWB2 has been set for a 10 position, i.e.
gravity hot water, pressing the override will also
bring on the hot water circuit.
➧
Using Boost
Pressing this button once brings the unit ON for 1
hour. To activate BOOST push the BOOST button
adjacent to the HOT WATER or CENTRAL HEATING
selector. If both circuits are to be boosted each circuit
should be treated as a separate action.
(However if the unit has been set for a 10 position,
i.e. gravity hot water, pressing the heating boost
button will also bring on the hot water circuit). To
cancel boost press the relevant override button.
NB: This feature operates in OFF, ONCE and TWICE
modes only.

Adjusting the Clock (DialTime)
To set the clock to the correct time of day rotate the
dial clockwise as shown by the arrow so that the
correct time is adjacent to the raised line with time
written against it. Please note the dial is a 24 hour dial
with times shown numerically at two hour intervals
and bars for hours between.
NB: Do not rotate the dial anti-clockwise as this
could cause damage to the mechanism.

Changing the ON/OFF Times
The RWB2 is supplied with factory settings (See
Factory Settings) which will operate unless you
change the set times.
If you wish to change the factory settings to your
own times you can do this easily.
No. 1 tappet (orange)
is the first ON during the 24 hour period
No. 2 tappet (blue)
is the first OFF during the 24 hour period
No. 3 tappet (orange)
is the second ON during the 24 hour period
No. 4 tappet (blue)
is the second OFF during the 24 hour period
To set tappets to your own programme times hold
the dial and slide the relevant tappet and rotate it in
either direction to your desired time, then rotate dial
through a full 24 hour rotation.
NB: This should be carried out with the Programmer
connected and power supply switched onto the
backplate.
Power Failure
In the event of a mains power failure do not move
the dial until power has been restored. If the dial has
accidentally been moved during a power failure
then rotate the dial through a full 24 hour rotation
before resetting to actual time.
