Key Terminology

1. Join: The process where a thermostat links to a Zigbee mesh network via a gateway/coordinator.

2. Pair: The process where a thermostat establishes a direct connection with another device (e.g., TRVs or a boiler receiver) on the joined Zigbee network.

Configuration Overview

The AWRT10RF thermostat can:

- Join a Zigbee network that includes multiple devices (e.g., TRV actuators and boiler receivers).

- Pair directly with one type of device (e.g., TRVs or a boiler receiver) as configured in its settings.

Boiler Receiver Configuration Modes

RX1 Mode

Purpose: Allows the boiler receiver to react to heat demands from any hydronic thermostat on the Zigbee mesh or from connected panels/wiring centers.

Dip Switch Setting: Set to RX1.

Behavior:

- The boiler receiver activates the boiler/control pack when any thermostat calls for heat.

- When all zones stop calling for heat, the boiler receiver interrupts the signal to the boiler/control pack.

Use Case: Recommended when multiple thermostats are part of the Zigbee network, and the boiler receiver needs to respond to general heat demands.

RX2 Mode

Purpose: Restricts the boiler receiver to respond to a single AWRT10RF thermostat.

Dip Switch Setting: Set to RX2.

Behavior:

- The boiler receiver only reacts to heat calls from the paired AWRT10RF thermostat.

Use Case: Useful for standalone systems, such as controlling a single motorized zone valve without thermostat wiring.

Recommended Setup for Your System

1. Boiler Receiver: Set the dip switch to RX1.

2. AWRT10RF Thermostat:

- Join the Zigbee network containing TRVs and the boiler receiver.

- Configure pairing to connect with TRVs for the desired zones.

Additional Notes

- Pairing the thermostat with TRVs ensures zone-specific control.

- In RX1 mode, the boiler receiver automatically reacts to heat calls from any thermostat or wiring center on the network.

- If more granular control is needed (e.g., for a single zone valve), consider switching the boiler receiver to RX2 and pairing it directly with a single thermostat.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Boiler receiver not responding to thermostat.

- Check: Ensure the dip switch is correctly set to RX1 or RX2 based on the intended configuration.

- Solution: Reconfigure the thermostat pairing or receiver mode if necessary.

Issue: Thermostat not controlling the TRVs.

- Check: Confirm that the thermostat is paired with the correct TRVs.
