I had all the connections right and it still doesn't work so I rang Drayton helpline and they have confirmed that it's probably faulty. So all that confusion because the thing never worked in the first place. Learned a lot in the process and thanks for all your advice. Maybe one day I will be...

Got all instructions and wiring diagram and it makes sense to switch from pin 1 Common to pin 3 call (pin 2 is 'SAT' - I think this means no heat). Measured the resistance between pins - pin1 to 3 is infinity and pin 1 common to L is zero. All others are infinity. Can't check pin 1 to 3 is...

Thanks again Dave. I have figured out the circuit for my system and connected up what you have suggested but it still doesn't switch so I'm begining to think that it's broken (maybe I broke it?). I connected the 'call for heat' red wire from the programmer (which goes to Live when C/H is on) to...

Do you mean that the red wire (call for heat) goes to pin 3 of the Digistat receiver (which is the 'call for heat' pin). I'm not sure what the switched live on the Digistat receiver is - is it the L or pin 1 'common'?

Thanks Dave, got all excited for a minute when you said which wire went where but tried some more connecting and no joy. First of all there are 7 pins out of the back of the Drayton Tempus 3 programmer - in order L to R - E N L 1 2 3 4 and 4 is the heating 'on' line as you say. It is red and...

Thanks for the advice guys, still not sure what wires I put where. It is a wireless stat RF1 and receiver. I understand the Live and Neutral to power the receiver but not what it switches. My current wired stat has a yellow cable coming out of it which goes live when the stat is on and this...

I've just read an old post by 'croydoncorgi' who said about replacing a 3-wire room stat with a Drayton RF1 receiver (which has 4 connections) so could this be my problem and if so what do I connect where to get it working? How can something so simple be so hard?

Thanks Tony, The boiler is a Ideal Classic standard model. Pete

Hi all, I'm new to this and wondered if someone can help. I have bought a Drayton RF1 wireless thermostat and tried to replace the wired one but I don't know what I'm doing. This is what I know so far. The existing one has 3 wires connected - Neutral pin 1, Live pin 2 and a yellow cable to...
