Quick start guide
This is a quick start guide to serve as a reminder for experienced installers. We strongly recommend reading the full manual
before installing the Uponor Control System.
Quick start guide
Install antenna
• Connect the antenna to terminals 9 and 10 on the controller
(non-polarized).
• Attach the antenna to a wall or the rear of the controller.
• If the controller is installed inside a metal cabinet, then
locate the antenna outside the cabinet.
Actuator installation
• Connect only one actuator for each channel. Channels 01
and 02 have double outputs (a and b) for two actuators.
• Ensure that each actuator is connected to the correct
channel so that the thermostats are controlling the correct
loops.
Uponor Interface I-75/76 installation
Using the 2 m RJ-9 connector cable:
• Connect the RJ-9 connector on the controller to the RJ-9
connector on Interface I-75/76:
Using the 15 m four-wire connector cable or similar:
• Connect terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the controller to
terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the Uponor Interface I-75/76.
(Wiring is polarized, so wire 1 on the controller must be
connected to 1 on the interface, and so on.)
Interface I-75/76 access levels
Uponor Interface I-75/76 has three access levels:
Basic
Advanced
Installer
The icons are visible only in Uponor Interface I-76. To go from
Basic to Advanced level:
1 On the Uponor screen, simultaneously press and until
the Advanced display appears.
2 Press OK. The Uponor screen appears.
To go from Advanced to Installer level:
1 On the Uponor screen, select Main Menu > Settings >
System Parameters > Access level.
2 On the access level screen, simultaneously press and
until the Installer display appears.
3 Press OK. The Uponor screen appears.
The system will automatically return to Advanced level after
10 minutes of inactivity.

Quick start guide
Optional: install multiple controllers
Up to three controllers can be interconnected. This is only
possible if an Uponor Interface I-75/76 is used.
1 Connect terminals 5 and 6 on controller 2 to terminals 5 and
6 on controller 1 (polarized).
2 If a third controller is needed, then connect terminals 7 and
8 on controller 3 to terminals 7 and 8 on controller 1 or 2
(polarized).
When connecting multiple controllers, all controllers must have
IDs. To set the controller IDs in Uponor Interface I-75/76:
3 Access the Installer level as described above.
4 On the Uponor screen, select Main Menu > Settings >
System Parameters > Controller ID.
5 Select Reset Controller ID and press OK.
6 Select Yes and press OK.
7 Select Set Controller ID and press OK.
8 The message >1. Controller< flashes. Press the Test
button on controller 1 (the controller connected to Uponor
Interface I-75/76).
9 Repeat the operation for controller 2 (the controller
connected to terminals 5 and 6) and controller 3 (the
controller connected to terminals 7 and 8).
10 Press OK to end identification.
Register thermostats
1 Press the Test button on the controller. The test LED comes
on.
2 Press the button of preferred channel. The channel LED
flashes.
3 Gently press and hold the registration button on the
thermostat with a pointed instrument until the channel
LEDs are constantly on (can take several seconds).
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all thermostats are registered.
5 Press the Test button to end registration. The test LED goes
off.
Register thermostat to multiple channels
1 Press the Test button on the controller. The test LED comes
on.
2 Press the buttons for the chosen channels. The channel
LEDs flash.
3 Gently press and hold the registration button on the
thermostat with a pointed instrument until the channel
LEDs are constantly on (can take several seconds).
4 When all thermostats are registered, press the Test button.
The test LED goes off.

UPONOR CONTROL SYSTEM – INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
UK English

Preface
The Uponor Control System Installation and Operation Manual
describes how to install and operate the components of the
system.
Conventions used in this manual
The following symbols are used in the manual to indicate special
precautions when installing the Uponor Control System:
WARNING
Risk of injury.
Ignoring warnings can cause injury or damage
components.
CAUTION
Ignoring cautions can cause malfunctions.
Safety measures
Read and follow the instructions in the Installation and
Operation Manual.
Installation must be performed by a competent person in
accordance with local regulations.
It is prohibited to make changes or modifications not specified
in this manual.
All power supply must be switched off before starting any
wiring work.
Do not use water to clean Uponor Control System components.
Do not expose the Uponor Control System to flammable
vapours or gases.
We cannot accept any responsibility for damage or breakdown
that can result from ignoring these instructions!
Power
WARNING
The Uponor Control System uses 50 Hz 230 V AC power.
In case of emergency, immediately disconnect the
power.
Limitations for radio transmission
The Uponor Control System uses radio transmission. The
frequency used is reserved for similar applications, and the
chances of interference from other radio sources are very low.
However, in some rare cases, it might not be possible to
establish perfect radio communication. The transmission
range is sufficient for most applications, but each building
has different obstacles affecting radio communication and
maximum transmission distance. If communication difficulties
exist, Uponor can support the system with accessories, such as
repeaters, for solving exceptional problems.
Technical constraints
• To avoid interference, keep installation/data cables
away from power cables for more than 50 V.
• The electrical circuits of the boiler and the pump
must be protected by a circuit breaker rated at 6 A or
below.
Disposal
The Uponor Control System consists of various recyclable
components. Uponor would be grateful if the components
(batteries, plastics, and electric or electronic parts) are sorted
and disposed of at a suitable recycling centre.

1. Uponor Control System
The Uponor Control System is a management system for
underfloor heating systems. Comfort and temperature
control for each room can be combined through the various
components. Uponor Interface I-75 or Uponor Interface I-76
can be added to facilitate system optimization. Note that
Uponor Interface I-76 is compatible only with Uponor Controller
C-56, and Uponor Interface I-75 is compatible only with Uponor
Controller C-55.
System example
The illustration below shows an Uponor Control System with
several installation options and thermostats.
The table below describes the components of a typical
installation. The item numbers correspond to the numbers in the
illustration.

1.1 Controller C-55/56
The controller manages the operation of the actuators,
following a demand from the thermostats for heating or cooling,
according to Uponor Interface I-75/76 settings and temperature
information received from the thermostats. The controller is
typically located near the hydraulic system manifolds. The
illustration below shows the controller with actuators.
Observe that only 24 V actuators are compatible with
Uponor Controller C-55/56.

1.2 Thermostats T-75, T-55, and T-54 Public
Uponor Control System Radio includes three types of indoor
thermostats:
• Uponor Thermostat with display T-75
• Uponor Thermostat T-55
• Uponor Thermostat T-54 Public
The thermostats communicate with the controller through radio
transmission and are used either individually or in combination
with each other. They use the same battery type.
Components of Uponor Thermostat with display T-75
The thermostat shows the ambient or set temperature on the
display. Temperature settings are adjusted using the +/- buttons
on the front. The thermostat is affected by the temperature of
surrounding surfaces as well as the ambient air temperature.
The table below describes the components of the thermostat.
The item numbers correspond to the numbers in the illustration.
