Hive oil boiler wiring help

[paweas]

Hi folks im looking to wire a hive thermostat into my existing firebird condensing oil boiler i'm having trouble figuring out where the HC/AND NO hot water on/off Boiler on off wires connect to my Firebird boiler as there does not seem to be any connections for this....any help would be great.......

Assuming this is a combi boiler (you haven't said) then...
Permanent Live to Permanent Live
Permanent Neutral to Permanent Neutral
Earth to Earth
Heating on (Terminal 4) to Timed Switch Live

Couldn't be easier!


If it's not a combi and you have a hot water cylinder, you need to wire your Hive into the main wiring centre (normally next to the hot water cylinder) and not your boiler

Hi yes i have a hot water tank looks like a gravity fed system i have a tank in the loft an another smaller one in the loft for the heating,my old boiler is about 20 years old but the timer had funtions for hot water and heating seperate.......hope i didn't buy the wrong boiler lol

Is the existing timer external to the boiler or wired directly into it?

 

[paweas]

the timer is located inside the house it had seperate controls for HW and CH

Hive reciever needs to replace the timer inside the house then. Don't need to touch the boiler. Take it off and see if the backplate is the same, might be a straight swap if you're lucky.

Do you have an S-plan or Y-plan system?
