Thermostat and Valve Actuator reverse problem

[Meethi]

Hi,

I have just installed a new Drayton zone replacement valve , model ZA5.

The good news is that the value is working; however, the issue I'm experiencing is that when my thermostat turns the central heating on, the valve moves to the off position and the valve closes and when I turn off the central heating from the thermostat the valve moves to the on position and the valve opens.

I have a hive thermostat already installed.

Any idea what's happened and how I can fix this?

I've tried my best to place the wires in the exact same place where I removed the old value wires but as you will see the wiring/control centre is a shambles.

Please let me know if you require more pictures or information.

Thank you

Meethi

I know right!

I know right!

so if you changed the valve and the cable connections colour for colour then the outcome is odd, to say the least

Is that valve actuator available as normally open power closed? (I had a Honeywell one once in the wrong box!)

I dont think I fully understand your question. Out of the box brand new the actuator was in a closed position.
