Mount the Receiver
Important information: Before you get started
• Before tting, isolate the mains electricity supply to the central heating system. Conrm it is
isolated and secured in the o position for the duration of the installation. Remember to always
follow appropriate safe electrical isolation procedures and test to conrm that the supply is isolated
before touching any electrical connections.
• This product should only be installed by an electrically skilled person competent in the installation
of electrical accessories.
• The Hive Receiver is double insulated, so it doesn’t need an earth connection. You’ll nd a tether on
the backplate to secure an earth wire if needed.
• This product is designed for xed wiring installation only. It must be supplied via a switched fused
spur with a minimum contact separation of 3mm (both live and neutral) and tted with a 3A fuse.
• Replacing existing controls: If there’s an existing single zone timer or wireless Receiver, you should
remove it completely and wire in the Hive Receiver in its place. If needed, you can use a stand-o
plate (SP, supplied separately) to create space to accommodate existing wiring or use a decoration
plate (DP) when replacing a larger controller.
• Replacing an existing thermostat: If you’re replacing an existing wired thermostat, you should
ensure that the pre-existing wires and connections are made safe. This can be achieved by
disconnecting or bridging out the wired thermostat in the wiring 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 replacing an existing wireless thermostat, decommission it by detaching
it from the wall and removing its batteries.
• The Receiver should be placed near the boiler or central heating system, and at least 30cm from
large metal objects to prevent interference. Avoid buried cables and pipes.
