Take the yellow wire and put it in 3 [Switched live, demand]
Take the earth wire and put it to the seperate earth terminal marked with an earth symbol and NOT into 1,2,3 or 4

Red is common live and ok where it is #1
Blue is neutral and ok where it is #4
#2 Is generally not used

Please note that this is general guidance for most systems. If you are unsure then its best to get a professional in.

PS I would quickly put your email address in your profile and remove it from your post before the Moderator catches you.

please help chaps

Red to 1
Yellow to 3
Blue to 4

As Sluggy said why do you need to bypass to get heat. Just wire it up

 

[bigears121]

the new stats different,it also has no earth like the old 1???


Help

Thats probably cos its double insulated and dont need one.

Why do you start if its quiet obviously way out of your depth.

Can I say it any simpler.

Red in common or 1
Yellow is switched live or 3
Blue is neutral or 4

Blimey ask your wife to have a look she will get it straight away!
If there is no connection for the earth that means it doesnt need it!
Just leave it behind the back plate or hang a picture on it.
