  • Page 11 Install 1: combi boiler Standard combi setup with LightwaveRF Boiler Switch The Boiler Switch replaces the original thermostat and is wired into the same room thermostat (RT) terminal. Unlike the original thermostat, however, it should now be located near the boiler, as it also needs to take incoming mains power from terminals located next to the room thermostat terminal.
  • Page 12 Download your boiler manual from the support menu Standard combi boilers should all include the necessary connection points needed to wire the LightwaveRF Boiler Switch. However, these may be located di erently depending on the manufacturer. Please now locate and refer to the specific boiler manual for your make and model of boiler.
  • Page 13 Install 1: combi boiler Access the boiler wiring centre The Boiler Switch needs to be wired to the room thermostat (RT) connection.
