Limitations for radio transmission

Wireless Uponor products uses radio transmission for communication. The frequency used is reserved for similar applications, and the chances of interference from other radio sources are very low.

However, in some rare cases, it might not be possible to establish perfect radio communication. The transmission range is sufficient for most applications, but each building has different obstacles affecting radio communication and maximum transmission distance. If communication difficulties exist, Uponor recommends relocating the antenna to a more optimal position, and not installing Uponor radio sources to close to each other (at least 40 cm apart), for solving exceptional problems.

Uponor Smatrix Wave Pulse system description

Uponor Smatrix Wave is a management system for underfloor heating and cooling installations. Comfort, user friendliness and temperature control for each individual room of a home can be combined through the various components.

System overview

Uponor Smatrix Wave consists of a room controller, a communication module (optional), thermostats, and actuators. The room controller manages the operation of the actuators when the thermostats detect a demand for heating or cooling.

The room controller can also manage the room temperature in rooms with radiators using wireless thermostatic heads.

System optimization and settings (for up to four room controllers) is facilitated via the Uponor Smatrix Pulse app (connected via the communication module). The system can function without the communication module, but with reduced functionality.

Uponor Smatrix Wave is controlled by different types of thermostats. Designed for maximum comfort, the thermostats communicate with the room controller by radio link. It is possible to mix the different types of Uponor Smatrix Wave thermostats in the same installation.

Example of a system

The illustration below shows Uponor Smatrix Wave with several installation options and thermostats.

Error

The floor sensor can be connected to a thermostat (except the T-165). Which can be used for floor temperature limitation.

For example, the maximum limitation can protect a sensitive floor covering from exposure of too high temperatures when there is a high heating demand. The minimum limitation can keep a tiled floor warm even when there is a no general heating demand for the room.

Room controller

	Error, enter correct language code
	Only 24 V AC Uponor actuators are compatible with the room controller.

The room controller operates the actuators, which in turn affect the flow of the supply water, to change the indoor temperature using information transmitted from registered thermostats and system parameters.

Up to six channels and eight actuators can be operated by the room controller which is typically located near the hydraulic system manifolds.

The illustration below shows the room controller with the transformer module and actuators.

Uponor Smatrix Wave Pulse X-265
