Boiler Diagnostics Module Installation Guide ADI001 Single Channel Boiler Control ADI002 Dual Channel Boiler Control V1.0 Page 2 Boiler Diagnostics Boiler Diagnostics Boiler Diagnostics looks after your boiler so that you dont have to. It monitors your appliances health, and will send you an alert if problems are detected. The Boiler Diagnostics Module connects to your boiler and monitors its behaviour, reporting any detected problems to the Hive servers. It also includes Hive Active Heating receiver functionality for easy integration of Hive Active Heating with your appliance. Installation Overview Installation should only be carried out by a qualified engineer. There are three types of installation, depending on your system:
1. 2. 3. Installation of Boiler Diagnostics together with a new Hive Active Heating (HAH) installation Installation of Boiler Diagnostics into a system where Hive Active Heating controls are already present Installation of Boiler Diagnostics only (the system has non-Hive controls that are not being upgraded to Hive Active Heating) Each type of installation is described in detail later in this document. For all installations that include Hive Active Heating, this manual should be read in conjunction with the Hive Active Heating Installation Manual. Package contents This package contains:

If flashing continues after 15 minutes, use the Hive Engineer App or contact Technical Support to confirm it has connected Confirm that the BDM is correctly installed. The hub will search for devices for 2 hours at a time. It will then pause and show solid amber. To restart the search on a freshly installed hub, turn the hub off and on. Amber flashing light should then return. BDM module is installed. Check the hub is plugged in and the broadband connection is working. Call Technical Support if problems persist. Boiler Diagnostics Compatible hub already present If a compatible Hive-branded hub (Nano 2 or later) is already installed in the home, then simply press and hold the button on the side of the hub until the middle status light starts to flash amber. Once the hubs amber light is flashing, you can move onto the next installation step. Boiler Diagnostics Page 7 STEP 2 - Remove Existing Hive Receiver If there is an existing Hive Receiver installed on the system, this will need to be removed. This step is not required if this is a new Hive Active Heating install or if this is a Boiler Diagnostics only install. Important information: Before you get started Before fitting, isolate the mains electricity supply to the central heating system. Confirm it is isolated and secured in the off position for the duration of the installation. Remember to always follow appropriate safe electrical isolation procedures and test to confirm that the supply is isolated before touching any electrical connections. This product should only be installed by an electrically skilled person competent in the installation of electrical accessories. The wiring must comply to the current edition of BS7671 (The IET Wiring Regulations), and the appropriate Building Regulations or Standards in place. The BDM is double insulated so doesnt need an earth connection. Youll find a tether on the backplate to secure an earth wire if needed. This product is designed for fixed wiring installation only. It must be supplied via a switched fused spur with a minimum contact separation of 3mm (both live and neutral) and fitted with a 3A fuse. Loosen the screws on the underside of the Receiver and, lifting from the bottom, remove the receiver from the backplate. Remove the existing backplate, making a note of the locations of the wiring.

Installing the correct BDM There are two types of Boiler Diagnostics Module Single channel BDM - for combi boilers Dual channel BDM - for conventional boilers with hot water tanks Boiler Diagnostics Page 9 3a Installing the BDM You should fit the BDM in a convenient location close to the boiler or central heating system. Make sure its at least 30cm away from large metal objects, such as a boiler or hot water cylinder, to avoid interference with radio signals. Take care to avoid any cables and pipes that may be buried in the walls. Once youve found a suitable location, install the BDM as follows:
1 Loosen the screws on the underside of the BDM and remove the backplate by pulling the bottom of it away from the front panel. Fix the backplate to the wall with the terminals at the top. Run suitable cables from the boiler or wiring centre (as required) and then continue on to the next section to wire up the backplate.

Push the BDM onto the backplate and then tighten the retaining screws. 3f - Additional Installation Information Replacing an existing thermostat If youre replacing an existing wired thermostat, you should ensure that the pre-
existing wires and connections are made safe. This can be achieved by disconnecting or bridging out the wired thermostat in the wiring centre or boiler. Where cables are left at the wireless thermostat position, they should be housed and terminated within an enclosure to prevent access. If youre replacing an existing wireless thermostat, decommission it by detaching it from the wall and removing its batteries. Gravity-fed and part-pumped systems Gravity-fed and part-pumped systems are wired differently to standard boilers. With these, the hot water relay switches on the boiler, whilst the heating relay opens a valve, operates a pump, or both, to divert hot water to the heating. If you are installing into a gravity-fed or part pumped system, complete the wiring and then switch the BDM to gravity-fed mode as follows:
1. 2. Wait at least 5 seconds, then switch the boiler and BDM back on 3. Switch off the power to the boiler and BDM Press and hold the hot water button for at least 10 seconds The BDM status light will flash BLUE for 3 seconds when entering gravity-fed mode. Or GREEN for fully pumped mode. Fully pumped mode is the default for new devices. Page 12 Boiler Diagnostics STEP 4 - Commissioning Commissioning uses the BDM iPhone App to connect to the BDM over Bluetooth, leading you step-by-step through the required process. The process varies dependant on whether the system includes Hive Active Heating or not. Boiler Diagnostics Only install 1. Open the iPhone app and connect it to the BDM over Bluetooth. On-
screen prompts will lead you through this. Youll need to enable Bluetooth Pairing on the BDM by pressing the recessed button here:
60 seconds only, so press again if necessary. Bluetooth will remain in pairing mode for Youll need to use a small torx screwdriver to press the button. 2. Using the app, disable the Hive Receiver functionality within the BDM. 3. Using the app, configure the BDM with the requested boiler information. 4. Using the app, test the temperature sensor operation on each pipe. 5. Using the app, check that data is received by the Hive servers. Once completed, the app will indicate that the BDM is operational. Boiler Diagnostics and Hive Active Heating install First, the Hive Active Heating functionality must be tested. To test the BDM to boiler connection follow these steps:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Visually check the wiring to confirm that the connections have been carried out correctly, referring to the labels on the wires and any photographs taken before replacement began. Confirm that the BDMs front panel is in place and that it is safe to commission the boiler. Check the middle light on the Hub is flashing Amber if it isnt, go back to step 1 above to check the wiring. Restore power to the heating system the BDMs status light should flash AMBER. This means its ready to connect to the hub and thermostat. Test the BDMs wiring to the heating system by pressing the Central heating button. The GREEN light above the Central heating button should come on and the boiler should fire up. Once youve completed these tests, leave the BDM switched on. Install the thermostat this requires a factory reset if Boiler Diagnostics is being added to an existing HAH system. Refer to the Thermostat manual for details of this. Boiler Diagnostics Page 13 Finally, complete the commissioning using the BDM iPhone app:
1. Open the iPhone app and connect it to the BDM over Bluetooth. On-
screen prompts will lead you through this. Youll need to enable Bluetooth Pairing on the BDM by pressing the recessed button here:
60 seconds only, so press again if necessary. Bluetooth will remain in pairing mode for Youll need to use a small torx screwdriver to press the button. 2. Using the app, configure the BDM with the requested boiler information. 3. Using the app, test the temperature sensor operation on each pipe. 4. Using the app, check that data is received by the Hive servers. Once completed, the app will indicate that the BDM is operational.

Status Solid AMBER or WHITE Installation. The receiver has paused its search for other devices. Status RED Solid Error. The receiver has lost its wireless connection to the thermostat. Boiler Diagnostics Notes The Hive receiver protects the boiler from damage that may occur if its switched on and off very quickly. Once the boiler has been switched on (or off), it will not change state again for 1 minute as a protective measure This light is only present on dual channel receivers. See gravity-fed mode section of this manual on page 15. The receiver will search for devices for 40 minutes at a time. The receiver will search for a thermostat for 40 minutes. If no thermostat is found within this time it will stop searching and the status light will turn solid WHITE. To restart the search, simply turn the receiver off and then on. This will return it to the AMBER or WHITE flashing state. Whilst in this state heating and hot water will default to off. They can be switched on manually by pressing the heating and hot water buttons on the receiver (hot water only available on dual channel receivers). For help call Hive Technical Support.
