Alpha Climatic Installation & User Instructions
Part No 3.022144 (hard wired) - 3.022143 (RF)
1. Description
The Alpha Climatic Programmable Modulating Boiler Energy Manager is a multi-
channel time and temperature programmer with integrated thermostat and "BUS"
system to transfer data between the boiler and controller, enabling full remote
control of the boiler functions and display of information. With enhanced boiler
control, the unit further increases boiler and system efficiency.
Within the governments Standard Assessment Process (SAP) the Alpha Climatic
controls are classed as an "Enhanced Load Compensator" capable of measuring
and maintaining the temperature inside the building by modulating and limiting the
boiler flow temperature depending on the measured room temperature.

- Page 3 2. Mounting of the controller The controller must be mounted in a position where it can not be influenced by direct sunlight, any device which might emit heat, near a door, window or be obstructed by curtains. It must be installed approximately 1.5m from the floor and any radiators within the same room must not have thermostatic radiator valves or any other thermostatic control fitted to them.
- Page 4 3. Wall Mounting Using a small screwdriver press down on the tab at the top of the controller (4) and separate the front control panel from the rear case. Hold the rear casing in its chosen position level against the wall and mark the fixing holes.
- Page 5 Insert two Size AA batteries in the position shown in the back of the battery compartment and refit the battery cover Note: The RF Climatic controller must not be programmed until the receiver unit is connected to the boiler and RF communication is established.

- Page 12 7. Climatic RF Communication For the RF (Wireless) model the symbol is shown to indicate communication between the Controller and the Receiver. If the symbol is not shown the connection has failed. If the symbol is flashing there is a weak signal or fault with the communication.
- Page 13 b. Set Heating Programme Press the button and TIME will appear, press + and CH PRG will flash, press OK and MONDAY will appear. Using the + button you can programme individual days or blocks of days then press On 1 will be displayed and the time will flash, using the +/- buttons you can select the time you wish the heating to turn on followed by OK, Then using the +/- buttons you can set the time you wish the heating to turn off.
- Page 14 Set Hot Water Programme Note: The hot water programmes only need to be set for the following system types: Alpha System Boiler & Diverter Kit or Alpha Flowsmart Press the button and TIME will appear, press + twice and HW PRG will flash, press OK and MONDAY will appear.
- Page 15 d. Setting the Temperature Note: There are two temperature settings, comfort and economy. The comfort temperature is the room temperature required during the heating on period. The economy temperature is the minimum allowable room temperature, e.g. if the economy temperature is set to 10ºc and the temperature drops below this during a heating off period the boiler will switch on to maintain the 10ºc setting.
- Page 16 9. Mode Selection a. The mode selection switch (1) has five settings. In this mode the control is switched off but the boiler frost protection is still active. In this mode the control is switched off but provides frost protection for its immediate location.
- Page 17 The primary flow temperature might not reach the temperature set by the user when in operation because the programmer will control the boiler output to give optimum performance to reach the required room temperature setting. c. External weather compensation probe (optional) When an optional external weather sensor is fitted the CH temperature control dial will no longer adjust by degrees °C, instead the display will show a scale of 1 to 9.
- Page 18 Each number 1-9 corresponds to a line on the graph (values in brackets are low temp. circuits). Example: Setting 6 would give a maximum flow temperature of 60°C at an outside air temperature of 10°C. d. Domestic Hot Water Temperature setting (7) The domestic hot water temperature setting adjusts the temperature of the water delivered to the hot tap to the user’s requirement.
- Page 19 In this mode the programmer can be used to control an air-conditioning unit, turn the selector to to enable. NOTE: For more information please contact Alpha Heating Innovation. i. Information Pressing the INFO button allows the user to scroll through a menu showing various temperatures and the functioning state of the programmer.
- Page 20 Not used on this model. j. Faults diagnostics and errors The Climatic remote control continually controls the functioning of the boiler and signals any anomalies, stating the corresponding error code on the display. The error codes are listed in the boiler installation manual.
- Page 21 If a fault occurs it will be displayed as “ERR-XX” where the “XX” represents a number that identifies the code as well as a flashing symbol. The climatic also checks its own functioning state, indicating any malfunction. Code Description Communication error between the Alpha Climatic ERR>CM...
- Page 22 By pressing the reset button the climatic remote control hardware can be reset without losing the user setting, such as time, date and timed programmes. If the Climatic remote control original factory settings are to be restored, it can be done as follows.
- Page 23 CH MIN allows adjustment of the minimum central heating flow temperature. This value is used to calculate the curves used for the external probe. Values that are too high can cause flow temperatures that are too high on average for room central heating.
- Page 24 System with high heat inertia e.g. large property AUTO A (self learning), defines the activation of self learning, as per standard set at OFF. This function allows the Climatic remote control to vary the offset, adapting it to the room in which it is installed.
- Page 25 When the holiday mode is set a flashing will be displayed and the number of days it is enabled for. To set the holiday mode press OK then the + button until HOLIDY appears then OK to accept. Off will be displayed and by pressing the + button the number of days can be set, press OK then ESC twice to get to main menu and the symbol and set number of days will flash at the bottom of the screen.
- Page 26 Remote (telephone control) – NOT USED m6 FUNCTIONS PROTECTED BY CODE (CODE) These functions control the way the Climatic controller operates and must only be changed by a competent person. (Code: 1122). Access the engineers menu by pressing menu followed by the minus button to get to the CODE function.
- Page 27 AMB (room probe) This allows activation or deactivation of the room probe present in the Climatic controller. - AMB set at ON (standard value) it is possible to select and set the following sub- parameters: - AMB CR: room probe reading correction, the room probe range reading can be corrected within a range of + 3.0 - 3.0°C.
- Page 28 m6.2 REDUCT (functioning in reduced mode) If activated with AMB parameter at "OFF", it defines by how much the flow temperature must be reduced in Economy period. - REDUCT OFF: in functioning periods in reduced mode, the boiler is switched-off. - REDUCT ON: in functioning periods in economy mode, it reduces the flow temperature by an amount equal to that set (adjustable from -1°C to -40°C).
- Page 29 RF SIGNAL RECOMMISSIONING FEATURE Access the engineer’s menu by pressing menu followed by the minus button to get to the CODE function. The engineer’s code is 9977. Press OK and four zeros will appear with the first flashing. Press plus repeatedly until the first zero is at 9 then press OK to go to the next zero, again press plus until this is at 9 and OK.
- Page 30 Once completed RF>REM should appear, then wait for the screen to return to the normal mode following this procedure. Wait a further minute for the communication process to establish before using the controller. Once completed IF only RF>INS appears then the transmitter cannot communicate with the receiver.
