Another Potterton lockout thread

[maxfox44]

Guys

Sorry for starting a new thread, but I wasn't sure how active the older threads might be.

Okay, Potterton Suprima 60.
I had loads of lockouts and finally went to fleabay and got a recon PCB part number 407750, and things have been fine for over a year.

Got a few more lockout, (one per dayish). So I've started researching and found that Potterton have made at least two revisions.

My question is, should I get the 5111603 control unit? Does this replace the need for the PCB 407750?

BTW a member of my family is CORGI registered and I will not be fitting it myself and he has suggested a complete boiler service afterwards.

Do the service as you change the PCB


and yes 5111603 is the new board

Recon Boards what a bargain

Hi Corgiman

So, the old board is removed along with the control unit and both are replaced by the 5111603 unit?

 

[corgiman]

what do you mean "control panel"?

The new board is a complete change of board AND wiring loom

 

[maxfox44]

Sorry for the confusion.

Last time we replaced the board and it was connect to various parts including the panel with output dial

 

[corgiman]

well this one you have to replace the wiring loom to everything as well

fun aint it

Will my CORGI brother in law need any special tools? I'm assuming that it will be more than just plugging connectors in this time?

 

[corgiman]

no special tools needed really

 

[maxfox44]

I read somewhere that you have to strip connectors and open factory sealed plugs? Does that sound right?

I just don't want to call in the favour, only for him to come back again or the whole job becoming a pain the in whatsits.

 

[corgiman]

no you dont

you just have to plug into spark electrode, over heat thermister, fan, gas valve, burner earth. Air flow switch.


oh yes and the Perm L Pump L SL earth and neutrals



easy for any RGI worth his salt.

 

[maxfox44]

Sounds easy. Almost tempted to do it myself. But I guess its got to be CORGI as the controls are a safety feature.

Cheers and thanks for your help.

One of those jobs that takes somewhere between 10 minutes and 2 hours... (2 hours when I could only reach the boiler with one hand)

 

[corgiman]

I hate doing them when they are hot

OUCH
