    Advice? -Ferroli 701 heating turning off/on?

    My existing ones read as above. Around 0.8-1k. It will fire up on both the old ones when swapped but with the same problem on CH. The two brand new ones I have off eBay read 11k!! I had 2 as I stated the first o excess faulty. If you look above you will see I did a resistance test/temp...

    Advice? -Ferroli 701 heating turning off/on?

    Also what has confused me is that the HW and CH will not work if the new stats I had. It’s as if the resistance is to to high even though that’s what it requires. The resistance does not match what I posted above given by on the manual. The new ones will not work on either HW or CH. but both...

    Advice? -Ferroli 701 heating turning off/on?

    Ahh. I quickly jumped to conclusions that the ‘Flowmater’ (136) was on the CH. It’s clearly on the HW!! What a stupid mistake. All LEDs seem to be fine even though the diagnostic capabilities of them is very vague imo…… LED is the one that is ON/OFF. Unplug thermistor goes off/adjust HW...

    Advice -Kewtech KT64DL multifunction test meter ? RCD test ??

    What is the process to measure for trip current? I’m getting nuisance trips on my old Wylex RCD. Obviously set to RCD and connect as usual. Just unsure what to select on the F1 to F4 buttons? I presumed the auto test would display trip times AND trip current when set to auto?? I know the old...

    Advice -Kewtech KT64DL multifunction test meter ? RCD test ??

    Hi all I’m an industrial spark by trade but just got purchased a cheap KT64DL. 4 year apprenticeship ONC HNC HND Degree I’ve always used flukes/meggers in heavy industry so this is new to me. I did do my 16th Ed when I started in 1991 but since then I’ve dealt with industry stuff. PLCs...

    Advice? -Ferroli 701 heating turning off/on?

    Pump has 240v going to it. I have not tested it tbh as my rads weee getting warm after continuously cycling on/off. It nods no think to check it as I’ve only had pumps fail when they blow a fuse or get red hot with heating off. What’s the best test. I can ‘feel’ it running. It has 240v on...

    Advice? -Ferroli 701 heating turning off/on?

    It’s been bullet proof. Only had replace fan and PRV since 1997. No diverter valve as seperate heat exchangers. I’ve also had absolutely awful model Ferroli like the Domicondens with the clips/rubber seals. Dreadful boilers. ! Any ideas what is going on with the thermistors? And why it’s...

    Advice? -Ferroli 701 heating turning off/on?

    I have replaced the the CH flow sensor (34) but it will not fire at all then? It is reading approx 1.2k!!! At room temp?? I had another and that reads the same?? I also swapped the CH and HW over over and HW is still fine/no problems at all? Also looking on page 29 the as temp increases then...

    Advice? -Ferroli 701 heating turning off/on?

    The thermostat on the boiler to set the CH is also ok. But even when I have it set at at its lowest in order to call for CH the outlet pipe is gets absolutely red hot. I can not keep my hand on it! It’s the internal ‘heat exchange limit thermostat’ (50 on diagram) that is switching the boiler...

    Advice? -Ferroli 701 heating turning off/on?

    Hi all My trusty Ferroli 701CH is switching on /off. I checked the LED status and done a few basic with my multimeter checks and it’s tripping on the CH limit stat/over temp on heat exchanger. Would the CH flow temp cause this as it’s not adjusting/modulating the gas valve? I have tested...

    Advice -Doni need superseal inserts on these 10mm Pegler rad fittings?

    How could you cut it to leave a thin flange? The Pegler type you ‘might’ be able to perhaps file it down level with OD of the pipe. I’ve replied with a better solution. Thank ls for the advice as this could be used when not using Danfos ones. Cheers

    Advice -Doni need superseal inserts on these 10mm Pegler rad fittings?

    Little update. I went to LBS plum centre and they had Danfoss branded ones in packs of two. Much heavier and more solid plus they have a proper (grey) collar like normal pushfit and the super seals fit it perfectly. They are also cheaper then the Pegler brand from Screwfix that will not...
