Important information: Replacin g existin g controls
If there’s an existin g sin g 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
g 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 g wirin g , or use a decoration plate (DP) when replacin g a lar g er controller.
If the existin g controller does have a compatible backplate, simply remove the
front panel of the existin g controller and snap the Hive receiver front panel on
in its place.
• Sin g le channel receiver compatibility: WR1 receiver, UT2 and EMT2 timers
• Dual channel receiver compatibility: UP2 and EMP2 pro g rammers
Important information: Replacin g an existin g thermostat
If you’re replacin g an existin g wired thermostat, you should ensure that the
pre-existin g wires and connections are made safe. This can be achieved by
disconnectin g or brid g in g out the wired thermostat in the wirin g 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 g an existin g wireless thermostat, decommission it by detachin g it
from the wall and removin g its batteries.
