17. Status light on the heater
The CRX2 controller can be powered either by a 5V power
adapter with a micro USB connector, supplied power
adapter via USB port or 4 AAA batteries. There are 2
available USB ports for power. One port is located on the
bottom and one at the back of the controller.
The CRX2 is a wireless thermostat giving high precision room
temperature control. It is also a 7 day programmer with up to
6 temperature settings per day. Each CRX2 can control any
number of heaters in the same room (zone).
The CRX2 controller is compatible with the MRX1 Multizone
controller. Please refer to the instructions of the MRX1 when
connecting the CRX2 controller to the MRX1.

18. Choosing a position in a room
The CRX2 should be fixed to the wall or used with the table
top bracket. Avoid areas with draft or direct sun. Do not
position CRX above or close to the heaters or other heat
sources. Damp areas or areas where CRX2 can be
mechanically damaged should also be avoided.
Remove the CRX2’s battery cover and insert 4 new high
quality alkaline AAA batteries.
Warning: Consort is not responsible for damage due to
corrosion. Battery leakage will cause permanent damage.
Do not use batteries when unit is powered on with mains.
To help avoid battery leak:
Replace the batteries annually, even if there is not a
low battery warning. Remove failing or flat batteries
immediately.
Always fit a pair of new high quality alkaline batteries
from the same pack. Never mix new and old batteries,
or batteries of different brands or types.
Never attempt to revive alkaline batteries by heating,
crushing or recharging.
Note: The clock has to be set after replacing the batteries, or
if the USB power cable has been removed from the CRX2.
This does not apply if it is being used with the MRX1 Multizone
controller.

21. Power adapter for fixed installation
The CRX2 controller is supplied with a power adapter that will
fit a 35mm or a 25mm metal or dry lining back box. The
power adapter should only be connected to a wiring
protected by a 6A fuse or 6A circuit breaker. Connect line
and neutral conductors to the terminal block. Please note
that the adaptor supplied with the controller must be
installed exactly as the figures show, otherwise the USB
connector will not fit correctly. The centre of the back box
must be kept clear to allow room for the USB connector.
When fitting the wall bracket, ensure that the adaptor is
installed properly and feed the cable through the centre of
the bracket. Screw the bracket to a back box taking care
not to damage the power adaptor or leads by long screws.
Connect the USB cable into the power port at back of the
controller as shown on the photo. Check that the CRX2 is
working. Attach top of the CRX2 to the wall bracket and
slowly tilt it to place observing that the USB connector is
moving in to the opening freely. Once the controller is in
place secure the two screws on the bottom of the controller.
Please note that the controller screen will take up to
one minute to display after powering up for the FIRST
time.
