CentaurPlus ZW and HRT4-ZW

Installation Instructions

The Horstmann CentaurPlus ZW combined wireless room stat and timeswitch
allows a combi boiler system to have a room thermostat added without the
need for any additional wiring.
Replacing the existing timeswitch with the CentaurPlus ZW will allow the room
thermostat to be connected wirelessly producing immediate energy savings in
houses where no previous room thermostat has been fitted.
The device is intended to upgrade existing combi boiler systems that do not
have an existing room thermostat. It is not intended for new installations where
it will be necessary to install two heating zones in order to comply with current
Building Regulations.

  • Page 10 DIL switch settings - TPI temperature control software Thermostats using TPI (Time Proportional Integral) control algorithms will reduce the temperature swing that normally occurs when using traditional bellows or thermally operated thermostats.As a consequence, a TPI regulating thermostat will maintain the comfort level far more efficiently than any traditional thermostat.
  • Page 11 Fitting the HRT4-ZW Room Thermostat Before final installation it is advisable to commission the product and ensure that the Thermostat and Receiver are communicating satisfactorily. First install the 2 type AAA batteries provided making sure that they are fitted correctly as indicated by the markings in the battery compartment.
