Baxi 630 with weather compensator

[Jock Spanners]

Evening all,

I tried Baxi technical today but the guy I spoke to wasn't able to help me. I've just fitted a 630 and decided to fit a Multifit weather compensator (for the first time) in line with the new Part L regs. I chose the standard one - not the flue mounted model. When I tried to set it to curve 50 the display stayed on zero. Should this not have changed? I was also surprised to see an earth on the low voltage 4 terminal. I left it in the curve 50 position but the customer called me back tonight. The heating flow simply isn't getting hot enough to warm the radiators. I'd appreciate any advice on why this is.

Isn't it less eg 0 or 20 for hotter rads ?

From my friend at Bati: "The earth is there to shield the wire if ran next to mains cables.
The temperature selector should have allowed you to set the curve between 00 & 90. If it didn't allow this it is down to a PcB parameter issue, we have had a small batch of PcBs where the parameter for the outdoor sensor has not been enabled, so the boiler doesn't identify the sensor has been fitted, You will need to book a service call so that a Baxi engineer can sort it out."

my thoughts also should be a priority call. and something they should also state on the manuals

Just had exactly the same today with an IFOS on a 630. Thanks for this, I thought it was something I'd done! :-D

What do you think of the 600?
Tempted to quote them instead if logics

Really? Logics are my cheapo’s

 

[Scott_D]

I think they are the same price ish and both 7 years warranty.

 

[Harvest Fields]

But are they as reliable?

The 600 is still very new
The logic has its common faults but they seem fairly reliable
