I had a battery failure on my internal sounder, so put the system into engineering mode and changed out the 8 batteries (one had failed with no measurable voltage). Having put the system back into normal mode all appeared to be fine. However having checked the Wintex Ricochet Monitor one of...

I need to replace my wooden garage doors and thought I'd replace the frame at the same time. However looking at them I'm wondering if there is a lintel or is there reliance on the wooden frame. The house was built in 1935 and originally above the garage there was a non full height storage...

supplementary question - If i replaced the fused spur feeding the UFH with a 13A 30mA Double Pole passive RCD connection unit, then would that trip before the consumer unit RCD thus protecting all of the other stuff fed by the consumer unit RCD?

Yes I understand that but with a mat lying under tiles with very little stress I am trying to understand why it would suddenly short rather than degrade over time. Oh well I have found a company that will locate fault and repair mat to within a few millimetres- not cheap though at £420 + vat.....

Thanks John - what surprises me is why the mat would suddenly short to earth rather than maybe exhibit an HR fault?

I've had electrical underfloor heating in the bathroom for 4 years and its been working perfectly. We went away for a couple of days and I set the Devireg touch to holiday mode so that it would come on when we got back. When we returned the RCD that supplies the underfloor heating (and the...

Thanks for the suggestions and the very clear explanation of 'Optimum Start' - very useful!!

Hi - well strange I went to take the photo's and now the difference between the TR2 temp and Required room temperature is only about 0.5 degrees - so irrelevant. I cant figure out why this has changed. I checked about 3 or 4 times this morning - whatever temp I adjusted the TR2 to, the...

Hi - stem yes its a TR2, I am using it on timed or 'day' setting. As I understand it the 'moon' setting is Constant “Off (Economy)” mode and uses an economy temperature which I have set to 10 degrees and only use when I am away from house.

Hi stem - pretty sure it doesnt have 'night set back' - have checked the Greenstar 35 HE manual and the TR2 manual and not mentioned. thanks Nigel

I have a Worcester Bosch HE Plus 35 working with a TR2 thermostat. We have noticed that the heating never seems to fire up when we 'feel' it should. So I thought I would check out whats happening. I set the TR2 to 20 degrees and then looked at the Info display on the boiler which says that...

Hi - I am installing new kitchen and changing position of sink. Access to soil pipe is 3m from sink and will run behind units with one 90 degree bend. At end of run just before soil path the waste will pick up washing machine and dishwasher waste. Would 40mm pipe be sufficient with...

Thanks pixey. I had taken the top off to gain access to the timer and I can see by the replacement timer that it pushes in from the front of the panel marked 3403 that I assume the front fascia is somehow attached to. Somehow I will need to gain access to the frame even if the fascia stays put...

So I now have the PDF exploded diagram of the oven and still cant see how to remove the Fascia - can anyone else spot how to do it?

I am trying to replace the timer on a Lamona HJA3650 oven (think its a Howdens make). The problem is that to remove the timer you need to remove the stainless steel fascia and I cannot see how its held on. Taking the two rotary knobs off do NOT reveal any screws and I cannot see any screws...

Hi grumpy 77 - yes I have had same issue. I had 6 PIR's of which 2 were QD's and other 4 were DT's. In the year since I fitted system I have had 4 false alarms - all on QD's. I replaced one about 3 months ago and other one 2 weeks ago and so far still no false alarms on the DT's. Hopefully...

Hi Gasguru, not sure if the inlet strainer was pulled out and checked. Cold water flow rate is fine at around 15 l/m

An Update - Worcester Bosch engineer has checked the system and informed me that the flow rate was set to maximum - he agreed flow rate was down to about 7 l/m (with main at 14 l/m) but suggested more likely to be calcium in the hot water pipes reducing the diameter and impeding flow rate? The...

About 12 months ago I fitted a Texecom Premier Elite wireless system. The system commissioned without any problems and walk test was fine. The system consists of 6 PIR's, 4 Dual and 2 Quads. Since then I have had 4 false alarms, all on the Quad PIR's . The first 2 (about 2 months apart was on...
