Will this all I need and it will work?

unless you have problems it should

as its a battery unit it doesnt need power it works like a light switch power sent from boiler/wiring center and live back to boiler/ wiring center (calling for heat)

thanks again Shaun very much appreciate your time and patience.

not a problem any problems you know where we are

I've connected it to the correct wires like you said. If I override the thermostat like the old programmer it would fire the boiler up but it isn't doing it on this now?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

does it work normally tho?

 

[Inverness]

Yeah the Honeywell worked fine I only replaced it caused it looked dated. The temperature in the house ATM is 25 degree centigrade I override it to 30 the small flame appeared on the display and it should then fire the boiler up? I did read this programmer and all other thermostatic programmers that are made now have an intelligents built into it. I'm thinking because I
The house is already very warm it won't fire the boiler due to the fact that it's too warm and this must be the intelligents kicking which makes it be energy effiencency? Would I be correct?

you got a multi meter/ volt pen?

 

[Inverness]

I don't sorry. I've got a neon flat head. The Honeywell worked fine. What do you think it could be? Should it just override matter what the room temperature is?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

if the flame sim is there then the room stat is calling for heat pitty you didnt have a multi meter with you as red should be live (when power is on) and black is back to the boiler for call (eg turn on) i think

 

[Inverness]

What if I swap wires around?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

What if I swap wires around?

you can try

 

[Inverness]

What is the worst it can do if it doesn't work? Could it blow the fuse?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

no just wouldnt work/work
as the things rated for 240v

 

[Inverness]

Should it matter if the red sleeving is biting down on the screw rather than the copper wire in the connecter block on the Drayton programmer?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Should it matter if the red sleeving is biting down on the screw rather than the copper wire in the connecter block on the Drayton programmer?

no as the copper will still be touching

 

[ShaunCorbs]

the first time you did it, it should be like this

 

[Inverness]

Yeah shaun I've done it that way. From your experience What could be the problem?

sorry to say hard to tell with out a multi meter if you have voltage in red one (230-250v) to earth could be the stat but if you dont have voltage on red or black could be further back, does it work with old stat back on ?

you didnt do them live did you?
