Section 1
General
Recommendations
Safety Measures
• Read and follow the instructions in this guide.
• Installation must be performed by a qualied person
according to local code.
• It is prohibited to make changes or modications not
specied in this guide.
• Power must be switched off when wiring.
• Uponor is not responsible for damages and
breakdowns that may result from not following the
instructions in this guide.

Power Supply
• The Uponor Climate Co˘ntrol™ Zoning System
uses a 110VAC/60Hz power supply.
• In case of emergency, immediately disconnect
the plug from the power.
• Do not use water to clean the Zoning System.
• Switch off power when wiring.
• Do not expose the Zoning System to ammable
vapors or gases.
Limitations for Radio Waves
The Zoning System uses radio waves. The frequency
used is reserved for similar applications, and the
chances of interference from other radio sources is
very low. However, in some rare special cases, it may
not be possible to establish a perfect communication.
The transmission range is sufcient for most
applications, but each building has different
obstacles affecting communication and maximum
transmission distance. If communication trouble exists,
Uponor can support the system with accessories, such
as repeaters, for solving the exceptional issues.
Technical Constraints
• Keep installation and data cables away from power
cables greater than 50VAC to avoid interference.
• The electrical circuits of the boiler and the pump
must be protected by a maximum 10A circuit breaker.

Section 2
The Uponor Climate
Co
˘ntrol Zoning System
Overview
The Uponor Climate Co˘ntrol Zoning System is a
wireless zoning control for radiant oor systems.
Comfort, user-friendliness and temperature control
for each room can be combined through the different
components.
The control system consists of:
• Thermostat T-75
• Base Unit C-55 with antenna and actuators
• Interface I-75 (optional)
The Uponor Zoning System is controlled by wireless
thermostats. The thermostats communicate with base
units via radio waves.
Thermostat Display T-75
The thermostat displays the temperature
on its screen. The thermostat is affected
by the temperature of surrounding
surfaces as well as the ambient air
temperature. A thermostat calls for heat
by sending a signal to the base unit. The
base unit then activates the channels
linked to that thermostat, powering the actuators
mounted on the manifold.
Base Unit With Antenna
and Actuators
The base unit controls the actuators based
on the requirements from each zone
thermostat. Each base unit is capable of
controlling up to 12 thermostats and
14 actuators. The base unit is typically
located near the manifolds.
Interface I-75
The interface allows viewing of important
zone information and setting of vacation/
setback schedules from a remote location.
The interface also can display alarms such
as low battery, no connection, etc.

Review Drawings
Review the drawings of the radiant oor heating system.
If the locations of the base units and thermostats are not
specied, determine the best positions.
• Install base unit with antenna close to each manifold.
• A 110VAC standard power receptacle is required for
the connection of the base unit.
• Protect the mounting locations for the Zoning System
from moisture.
• Use one thermostat for every zone with radiant
oor heating.

Components Installation
Mounting the Base Unit Antenna
Decide if the antenna should be mounted on the back of
the base unit or on the wall.
Caution: If the base unit is installed inside a
metal manifold cabinet, place the end or the
entire antenna outside the cabinet.
Clip the Antenna Into the Back of the Base Unit
1. Use a one-foot antenna cable.
2. Connect the RJ 9 connector into the antenna.
3. Clip the antenna into the base unit.
4. Insert the cable of the antenna into the hole of the
base unit.
�
Connect to terminals 9 and 10.

Fastening the Antenna to the Wall with Screws
1. Connect the RJ 9 connector into the antenna.
2. Using a drill bit, drill the wall.
3. Fix anchor and screw to the wall. Let the screw
protrude from the wall.
4. Fasten the antenna on the screw.
Fastening the Antenna to the Wall with Adhesive
1. Connect the RJ 9 connector into the antenna.
2. Use the double-sided adhesive strip to attach the
antenna to a smooth wall, such as glazed ceramic tiles.

Mounting the Base Unit
• Position the base unit just above the manifold.
Ensure the power receptacle is within reach of
the base unit's power supply cord.
• Check that the base units cover can be
removed easily.
• Check that the connectors and switches are
easily accessible.
Caution: Mount the base unit horizontally.
There is a risk for overheating if the base unit is
mounted vertically or on a at surface.
1. Hold base unit to wall; mark mounting hole locations
on the wall with a pencil.
2. Drill the wall.
3. Press the anchor into the hole.
4. Attach the base unit to the wall with screws.
Information: Each thermostat can control any
number of channels. Installation and
maintenance are simplied if actuators
controlled by the same thermostat are wired to
channels in sequence.

Uponor Climate Co˘ntrol™ Zoning System Installation Guide 9
Resetting the Base Unit
Resetting the base unit will cancel all channel
registrations, allowing the user to change all
the registrations.
1. Press the Test button for 10 seconds.
2. The Test LED ashes for at least two seconds,
then all LEDs will turn off (except the power LED).
All parameters are erased.
3. New installation and registration after reset
is necessary.
Installation Example
• Thermostat/Zone #01 controls two actuators
connected to channels 1a and 1b.
• Channel 2a and 2b are not used in this diagram.
• Thermostat/Zone #02 controls two actuators
connected to channels 3 and 4.
• Thermostat/Zone #03 controls one actuator
connected to channel 5.
• Thermostat/Zone #04 controls one actuator
connected to channel 6.
• Thermostat/Zone #10 controls three actuators
connected to channels 10, 11 and 12.
Warning: Disconnect the power before
installing or changing the device wiring.
Powering the Base Unit
• Check the actuators and antenna to
ensure that the wiring is complete.
• Check that the power compartment
lid is closed.
• Connect the power
supply plug into the

Thermostat Installation
The Zoning System is controlled by the
Thermostat Display T-75.
Label the Room Thermostats
• Install two alkaline AAA 1.5V batteries in each
thermostat (see page 26).
• Label the thermostats with the channel numbers they
are to control, e.g., 02, 03, etc. For a system with an
interface and several base units, an identication for
the base unit should be added, e.g., 1.02, 1.03, 2.02,
2.03, etc.
