Hive not firing the heating??

[Tonysamms]

Hi, I have a Baxi Eco Elite DS which I'm trying to instal Hive G1 Single Channel too. I have connected No1 on the Hive to No2 on the boiler and No3 on Hive to No1 on the boiler. The Hive seems to work, the light for the heating comes on when the temperature is raised above ambient but it doesn't fire the heating on the boiler. It's a new boiler with only the mechanical timer switch fitted. I've included some pictures. Any ideas please?

Make sure the internal timer is set to always on.

Looks to be wired correctly so as said above - make sure the built in timer is set to always on.

You really should provide some mechanical fixings for those cables though. Something falling or tugging on them could leave you with exposed line connections. Also sleeve the blue switched live with brown sleeving.

Is the boiler still getting power? Where does the receiver get its power from?

Having it switched on doesn't make any difference unfortunately. Once it's all working I will fix the cable down properly.

The boiler and the Hive are fed from a fused switched spur to the side of the boiler. It works fine once disconnected from the Hive.

Clarify? You mean if you put a link across the two terminals?

Have you got the selector switched to winter mode??

 

[Tonysamms]

No, it's not set to winter mode.

Yes, once the link is returned.

When you press the override button on the receiver and the green light comes on for ch demand do you here it making a click (switch making)

 

[Tonysamms]

Yes, you can hear it switch

Winter mode is for ch, turn selector switch to winter and make sure timer is on constant

 

[aptsys]

No, it's not set to winter mode.

Yes, once the link is returned.

In which case try placing the link between 1 & 3. Please take care during testing of live connections

 

[Tonysamms]

There's not a winter setting on the selector switch

Placing the link between 1 & 3 fires the boiler up

A symbol with both a radiator and tap sign? Try your connections at the boiler are good and if you have a multimeter check for 240v between the two wires, when you've put a demand on for ch
