Installed a nest on the parents in law's Y plan heating and HW set up.
Seems to work ok. He had an old programmer mounted just below the boiler where I needed to mount the Heatlink relay box.
Trouble was the standard mount plate for the old programmer had rear cable entry and the nest comes in from the bottom on each side.
Long story short, I ended up mounting the relay box on it's side, 90 degrees off horizointal so I could get the cables to feed in and reach the terminals in the heatlink. (i.e. instead of nest writing being horizontal, nest writing is running on its side, vertically up the wall, 90degrees off)
I didn't have the cables or joiners or heatshrink there to extend the feeds, and it would look a little messy with joints for 5 wires just outside the relay box.
Is this likely to be a problem, the heatlink mounted at 90 degrees to horiziontal? The relays operate after install ok.
The install manual is silent on it.
Thanks for help.
