LED Operation

Loss of Communication Troubleshooting

If the Communication LED is not on, please try the following:
1.  Confirm that the Receiver is powered with 24 V (ac) by observing that the 

green Power LED is on.

2.  Locate the Transmitter. Remove the cover, and push the button located below 

the battery terminals. The LED will flash once to indicate transmission. Locate 

the Receiver, and see if the Communication LED is on. If it does not come on, it 

may be one of two problems:

• The Transmitter may be out of range.  Try moving the Transmitter closer to 

the Receiver. Push the transmission button inside the Transmitter and confirm 

that the communication LED turns green.

• The battery life of the Transmitter batteries may have expired. This is likely the 

issue if the batteries have been in extended service. They can be replaced 

with 1.5V lithium batteries.

• The link may have been interrupted.  Try re-linking the devices, as described 

on page 4.

3.  If the communication LED remains off for over 30 minutes, please call Customer 

Support at (250) 545-7749 or email [email protected].

No power. Check that the wires are securely  

connected to the device.

No signal. There is a loss of communication or the 

Transmitter battery is dead, resulting in an open 

circuit error on the control.

Flashing

Signal is weak. Consider relocating a device to 

obtain a stronger signal.

Off

Battery is good.

Step 5: Sensor Terminal Wiring

Connect 2-conductor wire between the control or device and the sensor 

terminals (3 and 4) on the Receiver. 

This connection is polarity sensitive.  

Wire the sensor 'Com' terminal on the Receiver to the sensor 'Com' 

terminal on the control or boiler.  

At power-up the Receiver will report 

a temperature of 75

°

F (24

°

C) until the first temperature transmission is 

received (up to 10 minutes). 

Wait up to 10 minutes to verify that the 

temperature at the control is accurate. 

If the temperature displayed 

at the control is unreasonably hot the wires may be reversed.
