This article provides a comprehensive, image-guided walkthrough for installing the SALUS CB12RF wiring center and pairing it with thermostats. This guide covers both the initial installation of the CB12RF unit and the process of pairing it with your SALUS thermostats, whether you're using the IT600 or ZigBee 3.0 protocols.

​

Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary tools: a screwdriver (preferably a small, insulated one), a drill, and appropriate screws for mounting.

Step 1: Preparing the CB12RF Unit for Mounting

This initial step prepares the CB12RF unit for its installation on the wall.

1. Unscrew the Front : Carefully use the screwdriver to remove the front cover of the CB12RF unit. This will expose the mounting holes and the internal wiring terminals.

   

2. Drilling Mounting Holes : Use the front part you just removed as a guide for the places you need to make the holes on the wall.

   

3. Mounting the CB12RF : Using the proper screws, attach the CB12RF to the wall.

   

Step 2: Wiring the Actuator

Wiring the actuator in the CB12RF box is necessary to control how the room thermostat communicates to the device.

1. Wiring the zone

   

Part 2: Thermostat Pairing (Offline Mode)

This section details how to pair the CB12RF with your thermostats in offline mode. This involves configuring jumpers and network buttons on both the CB12RF and the thermostats.

Step 1: Setting the Jumper

The placement of the jumper determines the type of thermostat protocol used.

1. Jumper Placement (IT600 vs. ZigBee 3.0): Locate the jumper on the CB12RF unit. Depending on the type of thermostats you are using, IT600 or ZigBee 3.0, position the jumper accordingly. The manual should indicate the correct position for each protocol. IT600 thermostats belong to the VS series HTR and Quantum series, while ZigBee 3.0 is used by Elypso.

   

Step 2: Configuring Master/Slave Status

This step designates the role of each control box in a multi-unit setup.

1. Master/Slave Selection: Use the switch on the CB12RF to set whether your control box is the Master or a Slave. If you have only 1 or if it's the 1st of more control box's it's Master. If its' control box's 2-9 it's Slave.

Step 3: Activating Pairing Mode

This step initiates the pairing process on the CB12RF unit.

1. Network Button Activation: Press and hold the NETWORK button on the CB12RF for 3 seconds. The STATUS LED should turn solid green, and the ZIGBEE LED should flash red, indicating that the control box is ready to pair.

   

Step 4: Thermostat Pairing Procedure

The process from here depends on the type of thermostat you have:

A) IT600 Thermostats:

1. Follow Thermostat Pairing Guide: Consult the specific pairing guide included with your IT600 thermostat. These steps will guide you through setting the thermostat into pairing mode and connecting it to the CB12RF.

B) ZigBee 3.0 Thermostats:

1. Set Thermostat to Pairing Mode: Use the zone that you want and then follow the ZigBee 3.0. Then press and hold the button of the zone you want to pair the thermostat with until the zone is starting to flash. When it stops flashing, you can make a heat call and if the pairing is successfully the zone will be solid green

   

Finalizing Pairing:

1. Network Button Hold: When all thermostats are paired, press and hold the network button until both STATUS and ZIGBEE is solid. They will be solid automatically after 10 min. If you have not finished the pairing after the 10 min. You must press and hold the network button again, until ZIGBEE is flashing.

Part 3: Adding CB12RF to Salus Premium Lite App

This section outlines how to integrate the CB12RF with the Salus Premium Lite app for remote control and monitoring.

Step 1: Preparing the CB12RF:

1. Slave Mode: Ensure that the CB12RF control box is set to SLAVE mode.

Step 2: Activating Pairing Mode

This step initiates the pairing process on the CB12RF unit.

1. Network Button Activation: Click and hold the NETWORK button in 3 sec, until the Zigbee LED is flashing

   

Step 3: Accessing Equipment List in App

This section goes through the steps to access the app.

1. Access the menu

   

2. Follow Thermostat Pairing Guide: Choose Equipment and than select All equipment.

   

Step 4: Add new equipment

This section is adding a new equipment on the app.

1. Select "Add new equipment" button: Select what you want to add whether it's a EGOOT PM, RX3ORF, or TRV IT600 3.

   

Step 5: Name the control Box

This section will show you how to name and connect the box.

1. Select CB12RF it600 Wiring center: And follow with selecting to connect it to the equipment.

   

2. Select Name this equipment: Add a name for what the box. And select "next".

   

• Follow the guide for the room thermostat you would like to pair with the CB12RF.

This detailed guide provides a step-by-step approach to installing and pairing the SALUS CB12RF wiring center with your thermostats. Remember to consult the official SALUS documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.
