New home owner here.
I have quite an old boiler, it is an Alpha CB24x. It has no thermostat, instead having a Drayton basic control box. It has no timer settings, simply a 'twice' function that isnt working out that useful.
Anyway, I bought a combined control unit and thermostat that works by RF, here:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Salus-RT300RF-Radio-Frequency-Thermostat/dp/B003EQ8FMC
I'm happy wiring it in by the wiring diagrams, and am also happy that it has 230v switching. However should this unit completely replace the old Drayton unit?
Or do i leave the old Drayton unit in place, in the 'on' function, and wire the new RF one in as a simple thermostat to the external control terminals on the boiler?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
