Help Wiring new Digital Room Thermostat

I have a problem in being able to wire in two new Room thermostats I purchased to replace the cheap dial version in my new built home. The problem is the current ones have three wires where the new ones seem to only require 2 ?

The Central heating system has two zones, one covering the ground floor and the other the upper levels, each controlled by a MYSON MRT1 room thermostats. There are 4 three wires as follows
Position 1 (L) Brown
Position2 , unused
Position 3 (?) Black with Brown Sleeve
Position 4 (N) Blue

The new thermostats i brought are HORTSMANN DRT2 with three terminals labelled, NO - COM - NC

I have tried a few variations and each time blow the 3amp fuse by the control panel, so I now wondering if DRT2 is suitable.

The central heating system is gas / radiators and the boiler is a gloworm hx30i . Many thanks for any help

Wow! How wierd is that!

I actually looked in the Wiki, and there it was: an exact step by step guide with photos to show you exactly waht you want to do.

Isn't that amazing?

This should read "use brown and black (with brown sleave) in com & NO"

Thanks to you both, this makes sense as I was assuming that the (Blue) neutral was needed. Apologies for not searching the WIKI correctly Will do in future. Thanks again.
