It's a rebadged Drayton Digistat SCR.

Try this. If it doesn't work, check battery terminals are clean. Still not working.................new stat time.

1. Turn off the power supply to the Digistat SCR (receiver unit)
and leave for 5 seconds.
2. Turn on power to SCR unit and check red light is on.
3. Press override button No.2 and check the green light comes
on and boiler fires.
4. Press & hold down button No.1 (Keep depressed), then
press No.2 and keep depressed. {The Red LED light will flash
a couple of times and then it will go out}
5. Now release both the buttons – {the two LED lights should
come back on}
6. Get the Digistat+2RF/+3RF unit and stand two metres away
from the SCR unit with the Digistat+2RF/+3RF unit in your hand.
7. Remove the battery cover and fit the batteries.
8. The Red LED light on the SCR will now flash for approx. 7
seconds.
9. This confirms that the radio signal is being sent and
received.
10. The Digistat+2RF/+3RF and the SCR are now successfully
linked by a dedicated RF address

thank you for your reply. but at point No 3 the override button does not start the boiler.
my unit is a rc plus
and at the top you say Still not working.................new stat time.
do you mean a new system?

if the green light comes on when you press the over ride button then your boiler should work,place a temp link between the two switching wires either in the receiver or at the boiler and if the boiler still doesnt come on then you have a faulty boiler if it does come on you need to replace the receiver unit

Hello I have had all these problems with my central heating e.g green light being on all the time and British Gas Engineer fixed it on 5 mins was nothing to do with wireless box or receiver it was the motor in the timing box had ceased up and all though i could here a click when i turned the thermostat on or off because the timer had ceased it wasn't turning heating on..

Just Food for thought really i was sure it was the receiver box


. he did say if the red light stays on then there is a problem but if it goes out and flashes 7 times its fine
