Get Started
What do I need?
To install the Boiler Switch, you must understand
how to safely turn off the electricity supply and
be comfortable with following some basic wiring
instructions. You will also need suitable electrical
screwdrivers.

Key installation tools and materials
IMPORTANT: If you are unsure about how to use any of these tools and
materials, or any stage of the installation process, always consult a qualified
electrician or heating engineer.
Installation
Safety precautions
• Prior to installing the Boiler Switch, read through the wiring instructions
provided thoroughly. Make sure that you understand your heating setup as
specified on the following pages.
• Before proceeding with the installation, check and ensure that the boiler
is OFF and that no mains power is being received. Remember - the mains
terminals remain live even if the boiler’s on/off controls are switched off. If
a separate wiring centre needs to be accessed, make sure that no power is
being received. If in doubt always consult a qualified electrician.
• Do not strip the outer sheathing of flexible cables more than necessary to
prevent short circuits.
• Ensure that all cords pass through the cable clamps in the rear of the
control box and are securely fixed. Ensure that the power supply is
connected such that the current carrying conductors become taut before
the earth conductor should the supply cord slip from the cable clamp.
Installation
1. Combi boiler (most common) - In the vast majority of cases, your domestic
boiler will be a standard ‘combi’. It provides both hot water and water for
central heating directly. It may have an accompanying ‘room thermostat’
which is usually located in the hall.
2. Y plan system - this consists of a ‘system’ boiler which supplies both a hot
water tank and the central heating. There is a single motorised valve which
distributes heated water to either the hot water tank, the heating or both. It
will usually include a room thermostat.
3. S plan system - this also consists of a system boiler supplying both a hot
water tank and the central heating. In this case there are two motorised valves,
one regulating the supply for the hot water and one for the heating. It will
usually include a room thermostat.
4. Multi-zone system (S plan plus) - this is similar to the S plan system, but has
multiple motorised valves controlling supply to different heating areas or ‘zones’.

In a standard combi, the wiring centre is usually located behind the front
cover. The example shown below represents a common Vaillant combi boiler.

Installation
Basic operation
The Boiler Switch is designed to turn your boiler on and off. It is designed to
be ‘linked’ to, and controlled by, the LightwaveRF Home Thermostat. The
Boiler Switch will then automatically abide by the temperatures and
schedules that you set from Thermostat. If the Home Thermostat is linked to
the Lightwave Link, you will also be able to control and schedule your Boiler
from your smartphone using the LightwaveRF App.
This section will show you how to setup the basic functions of the Boiler
Switch. The following section will show you how to link the Boiler Switch to
a Home Thermostat in order to integrate it into your heating system. To
achieve smartphone control of the Boiler, it must normally be linked to a
LightwaveRF Home Thermostat which in turn must be linked to the
Lightwave Link.
Pressing the Boost button on the Boiler Switch raises the target
temperature several degrees above the current temperature for the
duration of one hour. If the target temperature is already several degrees
higher than the actual temperature, then pressing boost will simply match
this temperature.
