Its definitely a 102 and its now working with the new timer - many thanks for the advice.

Ok great, sorry for the confusion. I'll give it a try tomorrow and report back. Many thanks.

That definitely looks to be how its wired up. I thought the boiler always had a live and the pump live was switched from the thermostat / timer. Hmmm :?

Ah yes sorry - there's also one wire from the thermostat that goes direct to the boiler/pump

Hi, I need to replace a Randell 102 and have purchased a Horstmann Centaurplus C27. I tried to swap the units over today using the wiring guide provided with the C27 but had no joy. The boiler is a Potterton Suprima 60L (pumped) but there's no hot water circuit, only heating. I've...

Apologies I think its actually a double cylinder lock!

Hi, We've had some new keys cut and have found that one of them just spins when you try and lock the door. This only happens from the outside and only on trying to lock it - can lock/unlock from inside and unlock from outside. Any ideas? Is this a poorly cut key or a dodgy lock? TIA.

Cheers for the replies guys. I'll snip out the connector and connect up 2, 3 and 5 each end and see what happens. Many thanks.

An update and further question! Openreach came round today and installed our new line and the guy kindly identified the cable but wasnt prepared to connect it up to the internel network. Ive not done it yet as it was time to come home but the socket I want to use for the extension has a...

We're just moving into a new office that has a Randell 102 timer installed. As we're not going to be in at the weekends I'd rather replace the 102 with a timer that can have separate programmes for the weekend. I believe I'm right in saying that the Randell 102 and the electronic Randell...

Well that was my thinking, lol. If I don't get as kind an engineering as yourself, armed with a multimeter to test for continuity it surely wouldnt be too tricky?

Many thanks for the reply. I've not got access to this unfortunately. I do however have Openreach coming round on Wednesday to install a Featureline so wonder if with a few kindly words they'd look for me if it doesnt take too long.

Hi, We're moving into a new office that has several (approx 20) telephone sockets dotted around the offices that all come back to a connector box such as this: The phone system we've installed uses CAT5e so we're not using any of the existing phone cabling or sockets. However, we will...

Ok... having had another try the only things I need claryfying for the setup are: Zone Setup - By default each is set to "Entry route zone enabled" - Presumably all zones except the intended entry zone (in our case front door) need to be set to disabled? To program the system after loading...

My main query was over the zone programming. By default does each zone alarm or set as entry? I've managed to get to the office today (finally less snow around) and did the factory reset. No alarms sounded when the chip was reinserted, just left the system with a solid power light. I then...
