thanks, Breezer. I will look at it on Monday with my meter.

oh, I didnt lose the instructions, just can't seem to get it to work. It's a battery powered one. I'll check Monday, today is a day for doing nothing! thanks!

Breezer, would you be able to help me with the connections please? I asked a sparky friend yesterday, he said SUPPLY L goes to terminal 1, LOAD L to teminal 3 and both N go to terminal 4, but it didn't work.

Breezer, yes I know I posted in the electric forum, but b-a-s suggested I also post in the heating forum as they may have more experience of thermostats. I've also spoke to a plumber friend this morning about it and he isn't sure the thermostat is suitable, but he told me to ask around some...

Good morning everyone, would anyone be able to tell me if it's possible to use a Horstmann Centaurstat 1 thermostat with a 120W tubular heater? I'm trying to control the temperature in an avery and can't get it to work. The terminals are marked 1(L),2,3 and 4(N). Using heat resistant flex, so...

Thanks for your reply, b-a-s. It's a digital thermostat with the ability to have upto 5 different temperature ranges per day. I'll have to go back to it tomorrow and check everything with the meter. Ben

Good evening everyone, I wonder if someone would be able to help me with a wiring problem. I am fitting a tubular heater and am trying to wire in a thermostat so I can control the heat, its for an avery. Ok, the thermostat I have is a Horstmann Centaurstat 1 and the terminals are marked 1 2 3...

Brilliant, thanks for your quick advice, much appreciated!

Thanks, Breezer. The stat I am looking at is rated at 8A

Hi everyone, I wonder if you could answer a question for me please. Could a Philips Tubular Heater (60 or 120W) be used with a Programmable Room Stat? I have the TLC product codes if you need them. The heater is being used in an avery and I want to be able to have different settings for the...

I saw this once too, done by a sparky who seemed quite content to work with live meter tails! He just connected the meter tails into something like a 60A switch and then from the switch to a socket with T+E. I also saw him add a new shower CU to an old fusebox with the tails live. He really...

Just to say thanks to everyone for their advice. I fitted these 3 pneumatic switches today and they all worked just fine. I did wire them as 1 way in the end.

Try here quite a big range of switches there, in all finishes.

FWL, in my situation it's not an issue because there is a switch just inside the main entrance and then a switch outside each of the 2 doors to each flat, so wherever you enter the hallway from, a switch is right next to you. I guess it's a good point to keep in mind for other projects though.

Yeah, Breezer, I totally understand what you mean. My original message was about if it was possible for me to change the current 2 way wiring between the 3 lights into 1 way wiring by not connecting the yellow from the 3 core+E, leaving me with T+E throughout the circuit. Do you think that what...
