Download the App from the
Apple or Google App Store
Note: A Zigbee gateway or coordinator is required to facilitate
communication between the wireless thermostats and
the Valve Relay Control.
The Salus Smart Connect
App provides remote
monitoring and control
from your Apple or Android
mobile device. A desktop
App is also available at
salussmartconnect.com
To access the line
voltage terminals,
remove the top
white panel by
loosening the 2
screws and lifting up
on the left side
Installing and Connecting the AKL08RF Wireless Valve Relay Control
Install the AKL08RF only in dry and closed interior rooms. Relative air humidity in the room may not exceed 95%.
•
Set the configuration jumpers.
Pump/Boiler On/Off Delay
The pump/boiler on delay is fixed at 3
minutes.
The pump off is also fixed at 3 minutes.
The default setting for the boiler off delay is
0 minutes, but can be changed to 15
minutes by repositioning the jumper as
shown below.
Wireless Antenna
By default the AKL08RF uses an internal
wireless antenna. If it becomes necessary to
use an external antenna (A8RFA), connect the
A8RFA connector to the threaded connector
on the control and reposition the jumper as
shown below. (See step 13)
Actuator Type
The default setting for the type of actuator is
normally closed (NC). To change
this setting
to normally open (NO), reposition the
jumper as shown below.
(Optional)
Insert the wires from
a dry contact humidity
sensor into the Dew Point
terminals 1 and 2.
Connect Actuators and zone valves
Make sure the correct fuse is in place
(4 Amp).
Re-attach the plastic cover. Turn the
screw to the lock position. Switch on
main power supply to the unit.
The red
LED comes on.
Re-attach the High voltage cover and
secure it with two screws.
Connecting the AKL08RF (s) to the Wireless Network
On powering up the AKL08RF, G1, G2 & Network Status LEDs light up then go off, specific zone LEDs sequence
to indicate the firmware version, then the Network Status LED flashes green to indicate it is in pairing mode.
1. Add your AKL08RF(s) to the wireless network.
a. Launch and sign into the Salus Smart Connect App
b. Tap the 3-bar menu icon, tap Settings > Setup Equipment > Scan Devices. Follow
the on-screen prompts to add the AKL08RF to the network.
c. When in Pairing Mode, the LED on the Universal Gateway will flash red. The Network
Status LED on the AKL08RF turns steady green when connected.
d. Repeat the process for each AKL08RF to be added to the system.
e. Once all discovered devices are paired, the Gateway LED will turn blue.
2. Add your thermostats to the wirelss network and pair with the appropriate AKL08RF Zone
a. To identify the AKL08RF number, press Pair for one second. Note the zone number
LED that illuminates green. Zone 1 = WC -1, Zone 2 = WC-2, and so on. The Network
Status LED is used to identify WC-9.
b.
c.
Refer to the instructions that came with the thermostat on how to initiate its Pairing
mode. Initiate
Pairing.
Using the Smart connect App, tap the 3-bar menu icon, tap Settings > Setup Equipment > Scan
Devices. Follow the on-screen prompts to add the thermostats to
the network.
d. Follow the thermostat instructions to set the controller number (step a.) and zone number for each
thermostat.
Checking the System Configuration and Communication (Identify mode)
• Using the Smart Connect App, select the AKL08RF, go to the Device Details Page, and tap
the Identify
button. The AKL08RF and associated devices will start flashing. To exit identify mode tap the button in the
App again.
• On the AKL08RF, press the Pair button for 5 seconds, all devices associated with the AKL08RF will flash. To exit
the Identify mode press the Pair button for 5 seconds, otherwise it will timeout after 10 minutes.
Resetting the AKL08RF to factory defaults
• You can remove your devices
using the Smart Connect App by going to the devices Device Details page and
tapping the Remove device link at the bottom of the page.
• To delete all devices connected to the AKL08RF and remove it from the network, press and hold the Pair
button on the AKL08RF for 15 seconds. The G1 and G2 LEDs turn from flashing red to solid red then go off.
Remove power for 10 seconds and restore.
