Installing a timer away from my Vokera Combi Boiler

[Mr Conway]

Newbie here

My vokera combi boiler is in the loft of my house - don't ask me why, it was the previous owners - and the control for it is on it's front panel. Therefore in order to change any setting I need to get up there. Wife is pregant and I want to give her better control of the heating while I am in work. Therefore I want to install an electronic timer in the upstairs cupboard so she can change it as she sees fit.

I emailed Vokera and they advise that any single channel timer that supports voltage free switching will do just nicely and I have ordered this in.

Now, I'm happy and confident in wiring it in but just need some advice on the best way to do it. I have the installation manual for the boiler also.

Have any of you done a job like this before? If so a little step by step would be appreciated.

switch goes across terminals 4&5 in the terminal block

in the front of the book

 

[Mr Conway]

I see it now. So if I take a cable from the controller and feed it (tidily) to the boiler and input to the terminal block all should be well? along with the L and N wires obviously.

Nice one.

should be at the end of the day its only a switch

One mans switch is another mans mountain to climb.

Programmable thermostat might be better - then you get control of time and temperature....
