Hi all. Fitted my hive a few years back, but only to the heating side of things. After a lot of testing, it's clear that the boilermate is more efficient when it is only heated when needed. Though the summer I set the timer for a couple of hours each morning and this leaves plenty of water for the day with reasonable gas usage. Obviously in winter it needs to be charged to run the heating so now want to connect the hive hot water side.
From the wiring diagram (http://www.gledhill-spares.net/documents/BMAClassOV-Iss8.pdf), it looks like what is needed is to disconnect the existing front panel controls (clock and hot water / heating switches) and instead connect the hive where they were originally connected.
Following the wiring diagram, the current connections to Sl-W and SL-H lead to the rocker switches. I believe I need to disconnect these (and the associated live / neutral that goes to the clock) and connect them to the respective terminals on Hive
(CH on / HW on) and also connect SL-R to L2 in place of the existing connections to Hive.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
