The Randall 103 is just a time clock while the Digistat is a clock plus thermostat. So you will need to remove your old Room thermostat as well!

What make/model is the old stat and how is it wired?

Where do you intend mounting the SCR unit of the digistat?
Also where will the control unit be?

Here are the terminal compared for the Randall and Digistat, But you can't just swop them over as you need to consider the Room thermostat!

Randall 103: Terminal 1 = Digistat: Terminal 3
Randall 103: Terminal 2 = Digistat: Terminal 2
Randall 103: Terminal 3 = Digistat: Terminal 1
Randall 103: Terminal 5 = Digistat: Terminal N
Randall 103: Terminal 6 = Digistat: Terminal L

The green/yellow wires connected to terminal 4 are earth wires.

the randall timer control is under the stairs, and there isnt a thermastat in the house, so its just a 24 hour dial timer unit, so can i just change the wires over, any advice on where to position the wireless section of new digi timer, thanks for all your help by the wau

p.s. i have designed a diagram of the wiring which shows all the colours and stuff, but dont know how to post it

Save the diagram as a jpeg then go to:

and paste the jpeg. Copy the img address and paste that back into your reply to this board.

Thanks for posting the diagrams.

As you do not have a thermostat in the house you do not need a digistat if all you want to do is replace the Randall Timer. All you need is a timeclock such as the Drayton LP111 or LP711

Is this what you want to do?

But, if you have already purchased the Digistat and want to use the thermostat - which you really should do if you want to bring they system up-to-date and have proper control over the room temperature, then you will need to change the wiring to bring the thermostat into use

Have you actually purchased the digistat?

Looking at your diagrams, in the top right one - Actual wiring - were are the other ends connected.

A complete wiring diagram showing the pump, wiring centre/connection box and boiler connections are necessary.

Incidentally what boiler do you have? Make and Model please.

Sorry if I seem to be asking more questions than providing answers but it is a bit difficult to know what to advise when you don't know all the facts

Are you sure that the picture for your new thermostat is correct?

Digistats only have the following terminals: L, N, 1 (common), 2 (satisfied)and 3 (call for heat) There is no terminal 4. Also the switch should be connected to 1,2 and 3!

HI SORRY JUST LOOKED AND YOUR RIGHT, ON MY DRAWING IVE STARTED THE VOLT FREE CONTACTS ON 2 3 4 WHEN IT STARTS ON 1 2 3 THERE IS A 4TH CONTACT BUT ISNT USED, WILL GET ALL THE DIAGRAMS TODAY AND POST EM

 

[funky-monkey]

I HAVE BOUGHT THE DIGISTAT

 

[funky-monkey]

THE OTHER ENDS GO TO THE BOILER I THINK

 

[funky-monkey]

WHAT OTHER DIAGRAMS DO YOU NEED, IVE GOT THE MANUAL, OR DO YOU MEAN THE ACTUAL WIRING ON MY BOILER, ITS A VAILLANT VCW GB 242/282 E B

Take it that it is a Drayton digistat rf.

Lives and neutrals are obvious earth goes into tag half way down on digistat backplate..

Wire that is in terminal 3 of randall goes to common (terminal 1) on digistat and wire that is in terminal 1 of randall goes to terminal 3 of digistat.
