5.1. Wall installation 
Four 4.2 mm holes for installation are located on the under-
floor heating controller. 
 
 
Take the 52 mm installation height of the under-
floor heating controller into account. If the under-
floor heating controller is installed at a severe 
angle, the transformer must be on top to allow for 
ventilation.

Dimensions of underfloor heating controller in mm 
► Mark, drill and insert plugs into fastening holes. 
► Screw on the underfloor heating controller. 
 
5.2. DIN rail installation 
► Place the housing on the DIN 
rail from below (1). 
► Press the housing upwards 
until it snaps into place (2). 
 
 
5.3. Installing components 
Install the components as described in the accompanying 
installation instructions.

tion 
 
DANGER 
 
Danger to life through electric 
shock! 
Contacts that are open are live. 
► Unplug the power plug before open-
ing the housing. 
► Have all the work carried out by 
authorised specialist personnel. 
► All wiring must be in accordance with 
IEE & Building Regulations. 
 
 
WARNING 
 
Damage to exposed components! 
Destruction of the electronic compo-
nents through electrostatic discharges. 
► Do not touch the components. 
► Touch an earthed piece of metal to 
discharge static electricity from your 
body. 
 
 
 
 
 
6.1.  Opening the housing 
► Open the housing as shown in Fig. 2 on the fold-out page. 
 
6.1.1.  Plugging in the expansion module 
(optional) 
The expansion module HCS 80 expands the number of 
possible temperature zones of the underfloor heating con-
troller from 5 through 8. 
► Insert the expansion 
module with the adapter 
connector into the pro-
vided slot. 
 
 
6.1.2.  Setting the thermal actuator type 
 
 
Only one thermal actuator type can be connected 
per underfloor heating controller. If normally open 
and normally closed actuators are to be oper-
ated, you require two underfloor heating control-
lers. 
 
 
 
The thermal actuators are protected by a ceramic 
fuse. 
 
► Check the type of thermal actuator being used. 
► Set the switches in accordance with the following table 
(see the fold-out page, Fig. 4 (10)):
