Hmm, on page 5 from http://www.proliphix.com/Collateral/Doc ... 0Guide.pdf

It says cool & heat power, are those the ones i need to use with the only 2 wires i have? It shows 24vac on the schematics the page before, but it talks about "For h thermostat models only, the 24VAC common must be in the same AC phase as the 24VAC
source (RH or RC). If the thermostat is connected to RH only, or RH and RC then C must be the RH
common. If the thermostat is connected to RC only then C must be the RC common."

I am confused, i got 2 wires.. should they not go in "RH" & "C" ? , just want to be sure before i blow up the whole dang thing.

This is how I installed mine, maybe the pictures will help you:

If you use a 24VAC HVAC (Airco) unit, use the following:

Or if you use relays:

well i thought i would need to go like picture 1, but without the jumper.. i only have 2 wires like i said

If i see picture 2 , you would say i need to use connection 2 and 3, instead of 1 and 2.

Erik,

Do you have the thermostat operational already and if so, are you satisfied with it?
I'm thinking of buying a proliphix too...

It was attached, but it didn't yet work as expected. Although it seemed simple i am not so trigger happy to just hook up all cables, even though it looks easy.

However i did hook it up to power and the added ethernet functionality and that worked as expected. I think it will be a "ok" device once its working, but at the moment to many projects going on. I've got a new chronoterm coming up from honeywell by some installer (i still should get one from the builders) but i told them that if they hook this thing up its fine too. Waiting for that at the moment and i cant really tell my gf that she has to sit in the cold why we wait

Erik,

I tested the thermostat and you need to use connections RH en W1.
When no heating is requested by the thermostat the relay is open, when heating is requested the relay is closed. I hear the click of the relay and checked it with a multimeter.

Thanks, i installed it like you said. Will report back, but i assume you are correct

floors are stone cold now, i've set it to 0.5 degrees more, so it should heat up the floors.. then i'll drop it down again so it "should cool"

Thats the best option to heat!
I have tested the RH and W1 connectors and works for me too.
I'm now like Robert Installing the Proliphix NT20

So i came down this morning... and its lik 26 degrees in the house, and all the floors are sissling warm.. the thermostate says its 26 degrees, and next to that it shows 21 degrees (the temperature i wanted)

do i need to change the type? fuel burner/heat pump, i turned off HVAC Mode now... to see if that helps.. and i do actually here the "click" if i go above the temperature in question.

Not sure what you are doing!

Test
Just set the temp to 28
heat up the sensor , on the left below you can see it between the cooling rib.
If temp goes above 28 then you can hear the relays click
Then cool of the sensor and you can hear the relays click again.

I have not installed the thermostat yet on my Hvac system, will do that if I have my driver ready.
Robert will connect this afternoon.

indeed, i do hear the clicks.. thats not the issue.. i have it now so that the temperature (the one i want) is greyed out.. so it should be turned off completely now (so no heating) like i said it takes ages before i finally notice a difference on the floor heating with testing..
