SALUS North America Inc. AKL08RF User Manual

Use the AKL08RF  zone wiring centre to simply and safely connect thermostats and corresponding thermal actuators or motorised valves. The AKL08RF connects to the wireless network through the AC10RF 

coordinator or the Universal Gateway SG888ZBWH. One coordinator can support up to nine wiring centres, which means that if you buy more than one wiring centre, you will only need one of the 

included coordinators. Keep the other coordinators in a safe place as spares.  If you are using the Universal Gateway SG888ZBWH please remove the AC10RF coordinator from your system. 

Install the AKL08RF only in dry and closed interior rooms. Relative air humidity in the room may not exceed 95%. Clean the AKL08RF only with a dry and soft cloth. Do not use solvents or aggressive cleaning agents.

If you are not using  theSG888ZBWH 

Gateway then plug in the AC10RF 

coordinator.

Set the boiler delay, wireless, and thermal 

actuator jumpers.

On/Off Delay
The pump/boiler on delay and the pump 

off delay are fixed 3 minutes in the software 

and at 0 in the terminal. The default setting 

for the boiler off delay is also 0 minutes, 

but can be changed to 15 minutes. 

To do this, carefully remove the jumper and 

re-insert it in the other position as shown below:

Wireless
The default setting for the wireless connection 

is internal (INT). If the external antennae A8RFA 

is used change this setting (EXT). Carefully 

remove the jumper and re-insert it in the other 

position as shown below:

Type of Actuator
The default setting for the type of actuator is 

normally closed (NC). To change this setting 

to normally open (NO), carefully remove the 

jumper and re-insert it in the other position as 

shown below. Note that the actuator setting 

and thermostat setting must be the same.

Push in the Dew Point 

wires in the AKL08RF 

for a dry contact 

humidity sensing.

•

Bend and place the wires into their

correct positions.

•

Reattach the 24V supply connection.

•

Bend and place the wires into the

round holes at the button of the

AKL08RF for actuators/motorised

valves. You can add up to 4 actuators

or motorised valves for each zone.

•

Reattach the white cover to the

wiring center and secure it with two

screws.

Make sure there is the correct

fuse (4 Amp).

Re-attach the plastic cover. Turn the 

screw in 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.

1. On powering up the AKL08RF, all actuator  LEDs light up green then go off, then the  Network Status LED flashes green.

2. Press and hold the button on the coordinator for five  seconds. The button  flashes red to indicate the coordinator is

ready to pair. The Network Status LED on the AKL08RF goes steady green when  connected.

3. Repeat the process for every AKL08RF in the system. Note that one  coordinator can support up to nine AKL08RFs.

4. To identify your AKL08RF  (WC)  number press Pair for one second. The LED on the zone number lights green:

Zone 1 = WC -1, Zone 2 =  WC-2, and so on. The Network Status LED is used to identify WC-9.

5. To pair your Salus thermostats, see your thermostat  manual.

6. Press the coordinator button for five seconds until the LED flashes  steady red.
Note: To restore the AKL08RF back to factory default settings at any time, using a suitable tool, press the Reset button to the left 

of the pair button.
Checking the System Configuration and Communication

• Press and hold the coordinator button for one second. All devices  connected to the system flash. To stop checking, press and hold the coordinator 

button again for one second.

• Press and hold the Pair button on the WC for five seconds. All devices  connected to the AKL08RF will flash. To stop checking, press and hold  the Pair

button again for five seconds.

•   To delete all devices connected to the network, press and hold the  coordinator button for 15 seconds. The colour of the button changes  from red

to amber.

•  To delete all devices connected to the AKL08RF, 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.

Note: After all devices have been deleted from the wireless network, they will need to be reinstalled. Refer to the instruction manuals.

1. On powering up the AKL08RF, all actuator  LEDs light up green then go off, then the  Network Status LED flashes green.

2. Remove the coordinator, access the Wise.ly App and add your AKL08RF. When in Pairing Mode, the Universal Gateway will start flashing red. The Network  

Status LED on the AKL08RF goes steady green when  connected.

3. Repeat the process for every AKL08RF in the system. Note that  one Universal Gateway can support up to 100 devices

(thermostats, ARV’s, etc.).

4. To identify your AKL08RF  (WC)  number press Pair for one second. The LED on the zone number lights green:

5. To pair your Salus thermostats, see your thermostat  manual.

6.  The Universal Gateway will turn solid blue automatically, once the pairing process is complete.

Note: To restore the AKL08RF back to factory default settings at any time, using a suitable tool, press the Reset button

to the left of the pair button.

• Go to the Wise.ly App and press the Identify button. The device will start flashing. Stop the identify process by pressing

the button from the App again.

• Press and hold the Pair button on the WC for five seconds. All devices  connected to the AKL08RF will flash. To stop
