Master Installation & Commissioning
Easy Installation
Mounting the NEO controller on the wall has never been easier.
NEO is supplied with a metal mounting bracket for sturdy installation on any wall. After the bracket is mounted, simply tilt the top of the controller onto the mounting hooks and lower the bottom to be secured in place by magnets.
NEO Wiring Options
The NEO wall controller features 2 options for wiring, the simple and easy RJ45 option or the hard wired option.
For ease of installation and reliability it is recommended that NEO be installed via RJ45, however both options can be seen below:

In the instance where a system has already been commissioned and operating, you can connect and pair the Neo Zone or Neo Sense onto a Neo Touch Controller without having to re-commission the system. Firstly, please confirm all software versions are up to date and as follows.
To initiate the pairing of a NEO Zone Device, simply remove the battery cover and press and hold the PAIR button for 3 seconds.
The green LED will fast flash to indicate it is searching for a NEO Master Wall Controller and change to a slow flash to indicate a NEO Master Wall Controller has been located but not paired.
To then pair the NEO Zone Device, please go to your NEO Master Wall Controller and select Main Menu > System Settings > Wireless Device > Device Pairing.
Now follow “Guided Commissioning” video step 2.

Zone Installation & Commissioning
LOCATION
- ENSURE that the zone controller distance from
wall controller (C1 assigned) is within the recommended RF range of 30m - Do not install the zone controller on external walls, directly below the supply air grille or near other additional heat load sources, as these locations may alter sensor readings.
- Do not install the zone controller near magnetic, metallic objects or install near power cables as these may effect the RF performance.
- Avoid looping excess cable.
- Ensure there is an ample space (100mm) around the zone
controller to ensure proper air temperature reading and
adequate access for service. - It is required to use the provided wall anchors and screws to
secure the device on the wall. - If a zone controller is required to be replaced, remember to
unpair the existing controller and pair the new one to the
master controller. - Plug the power cable to its designated zone damper
terminal or zone module terminal (using a 3-way cable
joiner). - DO NOT use battery and zone power cable at the same time.
- Make sure that the zone controller is installed in an upright
position.
MOUNTING BRACKET
NEO Zone is supplied with a metal mounting bracket for sturdy installation on any wall. After the bracket is mounted, simply position the controller onto the mounting plate and the controller will be secured in place by magnets.
WALL FIXTURES
When installing the mounting plate on the wall, please ensure the following:
- Mounting plate is facing the correct way.
i.e. the front of the mounting plate will contain markings and beveled recesses at the screw holes - Anchors/fixtures are flush with the wall surface so that mounting plate is flat
- Screws sit countersunk in the recess of the mounting bracket and do not protrude out of the plate face (as per the illustration)
RJ45 (HARD WIRED)
Option 1: Via damper motor
Option 2: Via InZone
BATTERY (WIRELESS)
AAA Battery Supply
- 3 x AAA batteries required
- Please do not use hard wired and battery power at the same time
- Please use the batteries supplied with the product
