evohome Installation Guide 29 Step 4: System test Now that all the devices are bound to your evohome Controller and installed in their final locations, check that the system works properly and that all the devices are responding to commands from the evohome Controller. You can perform a simple functional check of the heating system by overriding the temperature of each zone to their minimum and maximum while listening for a response from the radiator (or zone) controllers and boiler.
Step 4: System test 30 Advanced RF communication check ! To save power the battery devices only communicate with the evohome Controller every four minutes therefore the system may not respond immediately to a manual change. To check the RF signal strength between the wireless devices and the evohome Controller go to RF COMMS CHECK in the evohome Controller Installer Menu and test each wireless device.
