Hi all,
I recently bought a house in a country where I don't speak the language, so I am in a bit of a pickle. I have a protherm boiler but I cant figure out what model it is, its older and seems to have a label saying its from 2004. Its an old school system and I can't find any instructions online.

It was hooked up to a Salus thermostat which was a piece of junk basically, and it seems to have packed in. I thought I could go back to manually setting the heating from the boiler but I am not sure where to start, and don't want to blow up the house obviously. Can someone advise please? I have attached a pic of the interface but not sure what is what and what I should be adjusting

Is it the Salus you want to override? Protherm google shows they’re part of Vaillant group (website is red like Glow-worm).

Yes, I guess I need to over ride the Salus. But at the moment there is not a kick out of the Salus controller. There is a receiver hooked up to the actual protherm boiler, so I guess it is just a case of turning that off? But I am not sure how to turn the boiler on, using the interface in the attached picture

Sorry, I realise now my picture from the OP is still awaiting approval so is not yet visible.

There should be a manual override on the receiver? If boiler is as it was before, it should fire up.
 
On The timer the top right sun, timer, moon move the selector to moon

also you need to top up the pressure to around 1 bar

what happens ?
 
Also what have you done with the salus needs linking out or always on mode

The Salus controller basically died, I changed the batteries and nothing... The receiver, I just switched it to OFF on the box?

that’s probably holding the heating off how competent are you at wiring ?

Not very. As in useless. I thought it would just be a case of turning off the receiver and simply reverting to manual operation, as before. But you're saying something is hard wired into the boiler thats stopping it from reverting to manual operation?
The batteries were running low on the Salus, and that's why I changed them, can't believe it would lead to such a complication. New batteries and pressed reset but not a kick out of it. It was working up until I changed batteries, and I was only trying to be organised and get them swapped before it died.
 
There in the correct way ? The batteries ? As the display should read something
 
I can’t see an override on that. I know you said wiring isnt the best, but if you can safely isolate, it’s literally taking a wire and joining up 2 connections, then re-instate power.
 
Need to join the com and nc wires if you can put them in the com space
