Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Uponor Smatrix Control System.

Below you will find instructions to help you programme your new
system and obtain optimal performance going forward.

It is important to note that not all settings are covered in this guide.
Additional settings, which are not covered, should have initially been
set-up when your system was commissioned. If any of these additional
settings need to be changed, please contact your local installer.

All of the information in this guide is correct at the time of printing.

Any updates or changes made to the Smatrix unit may render
sections of this guide redundant.

Finally, we hope that you enjoy your new Uponor Smatrix system!

Installers: This guide is designed to be left with your customer as

a reference on how to set-up and control their system. If you require
information on installation and commissioning the system,
please refer to the Smatrix installation guide.

Settings 4

Settings
ECO setback
All Uponor systems operate using a setback control function, which provides a temperature for both the “on” and
“off” times. For optimal efficiency of your new underfloor heating (UFH) system, we recommend running
a setback of 4°C. This means, during the “on” period if you set a thermostat at 20°C with a setback of 4°C, the
system will automatically top up when the room reaches below 16°C. If you do wish to change the gap between
the on and off temperature, please follow the instructions below:

1. From the Home screen

General ECO setback: 4.0°C

Changes the highlighted value

Confirms any changes made

Cancels any changes made

Note – this will apply the setback temperature throughout the entire system and override any previous individual
settings you have scheduled. To change individual rooms please see page 5.

Uponor Smatrix quick set-up guide

5 Settings

Programming
On all Uponor interface systems you can choose to set times for your thermostats individually via each thermostat
(see navigate to programme schedule – rooms) and set different timings for each room. Or you can choose to time
all your thermostats exactly the same (Refer to navigate to programme schedule system below) via two slightly
different navigations.

Navigate to programme schedule rooms

CAUTION! This will only change the thermostat you select and will not alter any other
thermostats on the system.

If none of the above programmes suit, you can change the times to best fit your lifestyle. Depending on where
you set this up, it will either apply to the whole system or you can set individual custom times to each thermostat.
For example, the bedroom could be “on” whilst other areas are “off”.

Valve/pump exercise
This should be set by your installer to valve and pump, as it enables your system during long shutdown periods to
switch on regardless of what is set on the thermostats. The valve will open to operate the pump and this limits the
damage to the system.

Supply diagnostic
This should be set by your installer to Active. Essentially this means if you have any future system issues,
a log is saved to the SD card which the Uponor support team can use to diagnose issues.

Autobalance
This should be set by you installer to Active, as it will enable your system to react to changes in operation over
its life. If this is Inactive, then please do not change this as your system could have been manually balanced.
