My typo didn't help!

Hi Europlex. I'm here at the moment. Sorry to hear about your day. It looks as though the unit is dead. The circuit board is clearly marked as you say. Seems a well made piece of kit. Getting power to the transformer but appear not to be getting 12V to the purple connector from...

Thanks again. My issue remains in that I cannot find a diagram anywhere of where each one goes blow goes. I have inspected them under a jeweller's loupe and initially I thought they were all marked T1A L250V using a magnifying glass. Turns out there is an F1A L250V. A slow blown one is...

Thanks for the response, Europlex. Been down. Forgot to take my multimeter but took a volt stick. Brought the fuses back. One looked spiral rather than straight. Confirmed as duff! Battery definitely not good. Mine was new recently so took that and keypad lights. One remaining...

Got a call from my elderly aunty earlier today. She has the above alarm. She said she had to come downstairs at 3am this morning because the panel was making a noise. Her neighbour says they looked out of the window but could not see the light flashing on the front. It didn't appear to...

Well. To add to the mix and let's hope that the old Sunvic does have an identifying code, there is a sticker on the rear of the receiver which states 433 MC so I assume that this is 433 MHz (the same as the alarm). I am sure that there will be no problem with this anyway judging by what JonCa...

I have checked with him and he doesn't have ANY fitted. I thought he wouldn't because he is so anal about detail. Anytime I ever ask him if him and his wife are free at the weekend, he is nearly always bloody painting! Unless he uses that as a euphemism?

433MHz from memory. Nice bit of lateral thinking that. I can simply mount it upstairs along the corridor and into the back bedroom. Interesting turn up for the books. Just been to see a mate for a cup of tea and mentioned I was thinking about fitting a thermostat. He did nothing...

Thanks for the great advice. I had not looked into any grant type schemes and have had a quick read up on the Green Deal initiative. Thing is being stuck with a company that may overcharge for the works is really not appealing to me. I would rather the money go to a reasonably priced...

Thanks for the fast reply. Wireless (even though I detest it) because it is simple and I do not want to create work unnecessarily as I tend to always have 'a lot on my plate'. I have a wireless alarm on the house and it goes off no end of times false alarm or RF trouble. I suppose I...

Hello. I have an old Potterton Netaheat MkIIF and am considering getting it changed though money is extremely tight in the current climate. I went on the Energy Savings Trust website earlier as I am considering fitting a room thermostat. I still have the original manual for the...

Still alive! I bought a CO detector before turning boiler back on. So far, it hasn't even measured 1ppm so I am miffed to have spent £25 but I suppose it's cheaper than a coffin!!! The other downside is the Potterton EP2001 which used to control the boiler has now shorted because of the...

Namsag. Are you a satanic gasman? I'm not getting into what I do for a living. I am too embarrassed and you probably already know. I'm keeping stumm. I'd be laughed off the forum. I think I have been on this forum before. Are you saying that there is a rogerwiddowson registered? I'll...

Are you saying the Netaheat was unsafe fom when they first came out? Are there any places I can find good reference sources to substantiate that comment. The reason I ask is because I have lived in this house many years and swear blind my memory has gotten worse. I originally thought it was the...

WHAT? I can't quite believe frank honesty and a strange sense of humour I.e. Writing Tongue-in-cheek because I been a right idiot can translate into someone thinking I am someone I am not! Don't wish to be rude but if you have nothing constructive to add don't bother!! My ID is my name...

I thought you meant a funeral car then realised you meant an escort to the luny bin! Couldn't quite work out what you meant by the leather jacket and presume you mean a straight jacket? My partner is Austrian and they are called 'I love myself' jackets in Austria. What's known as a...

I think that's good advice! Very good advice! Is is a criminal offence to take the cover off a boiler without the proper qualifications?

Certainly not a wind up. I wouldn't waste your time or mine. Just been reading about CO poisoning on the internet and wondering if I should visit hospital. Exposure limits seem to suggest death (12800 ppm) at a certain level and various levels of nausea and dizziness below that level (400...

BTW, Can I have an 'Idiot of the Day' award?

BingoBongo! You're right to be mad with me. Why did I have the cover off? Honest answer! I cannot recall. I put if back on though after switching the boiler off with my head in a cloud of combustion gas. Had to go outside a few times and gulp down fresh air. I realised after I had...
