General
Benchmark places responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers. The purpose is toensure that customers are provided with the correct equipment for their needs, that it is installed,commissioned and serviced in accordance with the manufacturers instructions by competentpersons and that it meets the requirements of the appropriate Building Regulations. The BenchmaChecklist can be used to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations and should be provideto the customer for future reference.Installers are required to carry out installation, commissioning and servicing work in accordance withe Benchmark Code of Practice which is available from the Heating and Hot water Industry Counc
who manage and promote the Scheme.Visit www.central heating.co.uk for more information.

General
The outdoor sensorenables weathercompensation by providing an advanced
level of modulation, achieving an additionlevel of efciency. This control compensafor the outside temperature by modulatinthe lower radiator temperatures in warmeweather and higher radiator temperaturescolder weather.
The outdoor temperature compensation ieasily congured using either the boilersinterface controls or the interface of anexternal Glow-worm Climastat or Climaprroom control (if tted). Optimum comfortand efciency is achieved when used inconjunction with a Climastat or Climapro(in modulating mode). The outdoor senso
can also be used with a conventional on/thermostat.

The installation and the commissioning ofthe Outdoor sensor has to be carried out bya competent person in accordance with the
current regulations.The maintenance and the repairing of theOutdoor sensor will also require the use of acompetent person.
Documents
Please keep these instructions as well as anydocuments enclosed, for future reference.
We accept no liability in case of damage dueto the non-compliance of these instructions.
General Information
Application
The outdoor sensorcontrols the heatingdemand for the appliance, which is
dependant on the outdoor temperature.
Any other use is considered as inappropriateand is forbidden.
The user will be responsible for any damagecaused by any other use.
Servicing
Clean the case of the outdoor sensor withdamp soapy cloth, make sure that no watergoes inside the outdoor sensor.

WARNING:Isolate the boiler from theelectrical supply. A competant personshould make the electrical connections.
Use a cable that complies with thespecications given in Technical data, page7. Route the cable from the outdoor sensorto the boiler electrical cartridge at the boiler,refer to the literature supplied with yourboiler for location and access.
Refer to diagram 5, thread the cable through
the electrical sealing gland. Connect thecable to the electrical connection, polarityis not important. Fit the sealing gland, thissecures the cable and gives a water tightseal. Connect the cable to OTC1 and OTC2connection in the electrical cartridge atthe boiler, polarity is not important, refer todiagram 6.

Choosing and Setting SensorHeating Curve.
A gradient must be chosen from the range
shown on page 17, labelled 0-9.
The decision as to which heating curveshould be used is based on two factors:
1. The average minimum outside
temperature of the region.
2. The maximum temperature which the
heating appliance can provide.
NOTE: Consider the level of heat loss in
comparison to typical UK heat loss e.g.
(double glazing, loft insulation and cavity wall
insulation).
Method with example.
The following example describes theprocess. The temperatures quoted should
be substituted with real values to nd therequired heating curve.
1. Select the average minimum outdoor
temperature expected in your region where
the sensor will be installed. For example at
the peak of winter the temperature may dropto -5C. This would be the value selected
from the Outdoor temperature C axis.
2. Select the maximum output temperature
of the heating appliance from the Heating
ow temperature (C) axis. For example this
could be 82C.

Adjusting room temperature setpoint.
By default the outdoor sensor aims to provide
a room ambient temperature of 20C. Insome situations it may be necessary to have
a lower or higher ambient room temperature
the adjustment is made in terms of an offset
value, which is entered into the appliance via
diagnostic menu d.46. Refer to the
following diagrams and text to do this.
Method with example.

Press and hold the mode button. When

If extra heating comfort is required, the roomtemperature setpoint can be increased viadiagnostic menu d.46. D.46 provides a
means to offset from the default 20C roomset point. For example to increase the targetroom temperature to 22C set d.46 to thevalue 2.
Range of value d.46: -10 to 10.

Making Adjustment on Climastat
Refer to your Climastat instructions, section6 Commissioning. The heating curve is
adjusted via Menu 2. Acess to this menuis achieved by following the steps stated inAdjustments.
Making Adjustment onClimapro/ Climapro RF
Refer to your Climapro/Climapro RF
Commissioning Instructions. The heating
curve is adjusted via menu COMP which is
accessible by procedure stated in the table in
the Commissioning section.
Glow-worm Climapro or Climastat controls
Adjusting Room Ambient
With the heating curve correctly setup foryour specic region, the room temperature
can be adjusted. This is achieved byincreasing or decreasing the setpointtemperature of your Climastat or Climapro/Climapro RF roomstat.
For systems with a Glow-worm Climapro.To adjust the room ambient set pointtemperature, refer to sections, Setting the
Comfort temperature or Central heatingtemporary override - central heating of theClimapro instructions for use, installation andservicing literature.
For systems with a Glow-worm Climastat.To adjust the room ambient set pointtemperature, refer to section 2 instructions
for use of the Climapro instructions for use,installation and servicing literature.
