Hive Active Heating - Replacing Existing Controls; Replacing an Existing Thermostat

14
Important information: Replacing existing controls
If there’s an existin sinle zone timer or wireless receiver, you should replace
it with the Hive receiver. Hive receivers are backplate compatible with a
number of common boiler controls that may already be fitted in the home.
If the existin controller doesn’t have a compatible backplate, remove it
completely and wire in the Hive receiver in its place. If needed you can use
a stand-off plate (SP, supplied separately) to create space to accommodate
existin wirin, or use a decoration plate (DP) when replacin a larer controller.
If the existin controller does have a compatible backplate, simply remove the
front panel of the existin controller and snap the Hive receiver front panel on
in its place.
• Single channel receiver compatibility: WR1 receiver, UT2 and EMT2 timers
• Dual channel receiver compatibility: UP2 and EMP2 prorammers
Important information: Replacing an existing thermostat
If you’re replacin an existin wired thermostat, you should ensure that the
pre-existin wires and connections are made safe. This can be achieved by
disconnectin or bridin out the wired thermostat in the wirin centre or
boiler. Where cables are left at the wireless thermostat position, they should
be housed and terminated within an enclosure to prevent access. If you’re
replacin an existin wireless thermostat, decommission it by detachin it
from the wall and removin its batteries.
