No lights on Honeywell HCW80 relay unit

[AskFrank]

Hi,
My Honeywell HCW80 relay unit is not lighting up at all when I press or hold the button. I believe this fault is causing my central heating to have stopped. Looking behind the cover, things look fine, but I'm no expert. What would be the best course of action here?

Picture of the relay unit I'm on about:

Is this an rf receiver??

Yes it’s rf. if not switching on and off need to check getting 240v supply to it first before condemning it. If it has 240v supply to it it’s quite easy to bypass it and get heating back on until you get it replaced but depends on your competence with electrics

Should work if you press the button once / light should come on

If it doesn’t needs investigation to see if it’s got power eg multi meter

Check room stat is turned up & batteries don’t need replacing in stat

Could I try and connect some of the terminals in order to send an ignition signal to the boiler? If so, what object could I use?

 

[Riley]

Are you proficient otherwise I see a shock coming your way my friend

This question indicates to me that you really need to stop at this point. You are going to electrocute yourself or end up with a face full of molten metal spray when you short the wrong things. Make it safe by putting the cover back on and call a heating engineer (or an electrician who does central heating controls) to get you sorted out.

Have you tried this? And checked batteries?

Oh no! I hope it's not to treat for an electric shock? Hope you're ok.

 

[AskFrank]

Was just joking
Managed to sort it out. The cover had come loose on one side so we've had to tape it down.
