Introduction Friedrich VRPXEMWRT2 Energy Management Wall Controllers for the hospitality industry deliver unprecedented energy savings without compromising guest comfort. Integrated occupancy sensor uses a combination of motion and thermal sensing technologies for accurate occupancy detection. Reliable occupancy detection allows saving energy when rooms are unoccupied.
Before You Begin • Determine the appropriate installation location for the Wall Controller. The Wall Controller should face the bed area of the room. • Wall Controller MUST NOT BE INSTALLED NEAR OR ON METAL STRUCTURES OR SURFACES INCLUDING METAL AIR DUCTING THAT MAY BE IN THE WALL.
Wall Controller and Receiver must be paired in order to operate together. Once paired, the Wall Controller cannot be used with another wireless Receiver without repeating the pairing procedure. Friedrich Wall Controllers are pre-linked with the card in the box.
Wall Controller Installation Mounting the Wall Controller to the wall • Remove the Wall Controller cover; • Use the supplied wall anchors and mounting screws to secure the Wall Controller to the wall; • Insert two (2) AA-cell batteries (not-supplied) into the Wall Controller battery compartment;...
Wall Controller Installation Installing the Wireless Receiver • Unplug the VRP unit from power supply. ® • Connect the low voltage wires to screw terminals on the VRP unit low ® voltage terminal block - refer to the Wiring Table to determine proper connections.

VRP unit (top) To maximize the wireless signal strength from the Receiver to the VRPXEMWRT2 Wall Controller, the Receiver MUST NOT be installed on the VRP unit. Note: Depending upon the closet size, an appropriate length of Field Supplied CAT 6 cable will be required.
There are four sets of connections for the VRPXEMWRT2 Wall Controller. The supplied cable from the VRPXEMWRT2 Receiver as shown in Figure 1, has four color coded wires. Each of these wires must be connected to two Cat6 wires as shown in Figure 2.
Page 13
Wall Controller Wiring Installation General Connection Procedure: Figure 3. 1. Remove 2” of the outer sheath of the CAT6 cable including the shield and strip the wires. 2. Insert the specified wire from the Receiver into a slot of the lever connector as shown in Figure 3 and close lever as shown in Figure 4.
Wall Controller Wiring Installation Connection 1 Insert the Orange (V+) wire from the Receiver into a lever connector slot and close the orange lever on the connector. Insert the twisted Orange and Green/White Cat 6 wires into the remaining lever connector slot and close the orange lever on the connector.
Wall Controller Configuration Once the Wall Controller is powered, Wall Controller configuration settings will appear on the Wall Controller screen. In order to properly operate the VRP unit: • Set the Wall Controller clock; • Enter the room number; • Select Energy Savings Preset; The Wall Controller configuration screens have a 3-minute time-out.
Wall Controller Configuration Setting the Wall Controller Clock HOURS MINUTES Set the Wall Controller clock to current time in 24h (Military Time) format. • Use the “Up” and “Down” buttons to set the hours; • Press the “Fan” button to advance to the minutes setting; •...
Wall Controller Configuration Entering the Room Number Enter the room number by changing the digits on the screen. Leading zeros “0” preceding other digits will be ignored, i.e. Room number “123” should be entered as “00123”. • Use the “Up” and “Down” buttons to change the digit; •...
Wall Controller Configuration Configuring the Energy Savings Settings Use the “Up” and “Down” buttons to select the Energy Saving preset: E-0* Energy Savings Off - No Temperature Setback; E-1 Lowest Energy Savings; E-2 Lower Energy Savings; E-3 Standard Energy Savings; E-4 Higher Energy Savings;...
Wall Controller Configuration Testing the Wall Controller Following the Wall Controller configuration, test if the Wall Controller is controlling the VRP unit. • Press the “Power” button to turn the Wall Controller ON; • Press the “Up” and “Down” buttons to change the temperature set point above and below the current room temperature to test if the Wall Controller initiates heating and cooling - the VRP unit should turn heating and air conditioning on and off.
Custom Energy Savings Settings If you don’t want to use the one of the energy saving presets detailed in the Appendix 1, you can enter the custom energy savings settings. Accessing the Wall Controller Settings • Press and hold the “Configuration” button until the first Wall Controller settings screen appears.
