In the sh%*t

[stevie3259]

Hi ok my plasterer I had in has removed the heating control unit and just left the wires taped up in the wall,
There are 2 blues 3 browns (1 which is a thinner one) 1 black 1 grey I think the 2 larger browns and blues are the live and neutral the others go to stat and to the stuff in the loft can anyone advise me the connections for the unit please ? there are 6 connections in the box ? The control unit is a Lifestyle LP241
Regards Steve

Cor blimey he has left you in a pickle

Nice fella

Oh dear without knowing what the wires are connected to at t'ther end you have three hopes of sorting that out and two of them are related to Bob.

I would say without doing some continuity checks you what have a hope in hell of sorting it.

Hopefully the others will be more optimistic than me

Ok I can do the continuity checks and establish which wire goes where, what I need is to know once I have established which each wire is where does it go on the control unit
Thanks
Steve

ask those nice people at Drayton (Invensys) to send you the wiring diagram

(the one on their website is so small I found it difficult to read)

I'd suggest that once you have identified where they go, return here with a list of them for further guidance

ok, don't know how much this will help, but i know that number 1 on the unit is hot water off(so satisfied on cylinder stat) number 2 is central heating off, number 3 is hot water on(calling on cylinder stat) and number 4 is central heating on (calling on room stat) do you have 2 motorised valves or one mid position??

You could always try getting the plasterer to sort it...

Yes, I was wondering what the plasterer was saying about it!

I am sure that on site I could easily work out which is which by measuring the incoming supply voltage and then seeing what results when a live is placed on each of the remaining wires.

It also depends on the system configuration, i.e. "S" or "Y" plan.

But I dont recommend that anyone else tries that!

There are 2 blues 3 browns (1 which is a thinner one) 1 black 1 grey

1. How many cables are there and which cores are in which cable?

2. Are any cores live (with the electricity on )

3. How many motorized valve(s) do you have?

4. Are they 2-port or 3-port?

5. Can you identify what device the other end of each wire connects to? (not just the terminal block but the actual piece of equpment)

Post the info and I'll try to help.
