APPENDIX FIVE
CONNECTING TO A SMART HOME SYSTEM
GENERAL NOTES
The replace may be operated through an external source such as a smart home (home automation) system by using the 5-pin
connector on the receiver.
A required 39”/1000 mm cable, with connector, is available (part number E4-SA-SHSC-02). The overall cable length should not
exceed 26’/8000 mm.
Signal relays (gold contacts) or opto-couplers are recommended but not supplied. The E4-SA-SHSC-02 cable must be connected
to the three smart home system contacts as shown below.
WARNING
You MUST ensure that the replace is in a safe and ready condition before attempting to operate from a remote source.
E4-SA-SHSC-02
SEqUENcE OF OPERATION
• To start ignition, close contacts 1 and 3 simultaneously
for 1 second.
• To set the valve to High Fire, close contact 1.
To set the valve to Pilot, close contact 3. In each case, the
contacts need to be closed for 12 seconds to turn the
motor from one end-stop to the other end stop.
• To set the valve to the O position, close contacts 1, 2,
and 3 simultaneously for 1 second.
MODES OF OPERATION
• Mode 1 - the external source provides “ON“ and “OFF“
operation only. The remote control handset provides all
other functions.
Note: Even if the re is switched on by the external
source, the handset, in the thermostatic mode, controls
the room temperature. The room temperature setting of
the handset will remain the same for the next ON-cycle
of the external source as long as the temperature setting
in the handset has not been changed. If the handset is in
manual mode, it will go to High Fire in the next cycle of
external operation.
• Mode 2 - The handset must be set to the manual mode if
the external source is to control the room temperature.
If the handset is placed in the thermostatic mode it will
override the external source.
NOTE:
Frequent ON and OFF cycles will limit life expectancy of the
valve and will increase battery consumption. The replace
should be powered by the AC adapter for improved
reliability and customer satisfaction.
