Danfoss electronic and manual timers

[rsmackenzie]

Hopefully a quick question...
We are visiting my elderly aunt who has just had her central heating replaced. They have fitted a danfoss set3m which she finds awkward and would like an electronic one. I'm looking to order the FP715si which she will get someone to fit for her (we'll be gone by the time it comes). My question is...will this swap over easily? Anything I need to know? Will it need rewiring or clip in? Just don't want there to be any issues when it cones and we have gone.
Thanks.

Different backplate so it will need some alteration, but the FP975 is a straight swap, I think

Thanks for the suggestion of the FP975. It does look a better match but it's not available in many suppliers which is unfortunate. Is it being phased out I wonder? Might try phoning Danfoss on Monday. Do other makes have the same backplates? Which ones?

Some Drayton ones for example www.draytoncontrols.co.uk/D70_8_LP_Boost_Compatibility.aspx top left box. I would double check compatability though, whichever one you go for, just to be sure.
