Can’t Connect the Wiring Centre to the Boiler – What to Do
Introduction:
Many installers struggle with connecting SALUS wiring centres (KL06 230V or KL0624V) to a heat source (boiler). While the wiring centre doesn’t directly control the boiler, it can do so through dedicated output modules. This article explains how to properly wire a heating zone system to control the boiler.
1. Wiring Centre Type vs Boiler Voltage
Models:
- KL06 230V – 6-zone centre with 230 V actuator outputs
- KL0624V – 6-zone centre with 24 V outputs (has built-in transformer)
Direct boiler connection is NOT possible without a control module!
2. What You Need to Control the BoilerUse an output module:
- PL06 – for pump OR boiler control
- PL07 – for pump AND boiler control
These modules include volt-free (dry contact) COM/NO outputs, ideal for boiler thermostat inputs.
3. Wiring Diagram & Process
- Install the wiring centre, connect thermostats and actuators.
Mount PL06 or PL07 to the designated port on KL06/KL0624V.
- Connect the COM/NO terminals to the boiler’s ON/OFF thermostat inputs.
- Set jumpers:
- P,1–6: choose which zone(s) will trigger heating.
- 0–15: set delay (in minutes) for switching off (e.g., 10 = switch off boiler 10 min after demand stops).
4. Common Installer Mistakes - The boiler doesn’t respond to heat demand
This is often caused by a missing PL06 or PL07 module. Remember – the wiring centre itself cannot switch the boiler without a dry contact output (COM/NO) provided by these modules.
- Boiler remains disconnected despite module being present
Check that the COM/NO terminals from the module are correctly wired to the boiler’s thermostat input. Refer to the boiler manual to confirm correct terminal usage.
- Boiler runs constantly, even without demand
This is usually due to incorrect jumper settings on the module. For example, a long off-delay (e.g. 15 minutes) or a misconfigured activation zone can keep the boiler running. Reset to factory settings (P, 0) if needed
- Fuse blows when power is connected
This may indicate a short circuit or that too many actuators are connected to a single zone. Replace the fuse (T2A 5x20 mm) and make sure no more than 6 actuators are wired per zone. Use an external relay if needed.
5. Important DON'Ts
- Don’t wire boiler directly to zone outputs
- Don’t use the centre without a control module
Don’t use third-party relays without schematic confirmation
Summary:
- KL06 / KL0624V = zone controller for actuators and thermostats
- Use PL06/PL07 to switch boiler or pump
- COM/NO terminals go to boiler’s thermostat inputs
- Correct jumper settings are crucial
