Replacing Honeywell ST9100a with Hive

[Luke Southgate]

Hi everyone,

We are just in the process of a kitchen refit and have purchased a hive (single channel).

Having removed the face place for the existing programmer (Honeywell ST9100a) I have noticed more wiring than I had expected, for example multiple cables in Earth, Live and Neutral.

Looking at the wiring diagram I was under the impression that when fitting the hive I would just need to reposition the wiring as the below, however the extra wires has thrown me off a bit.

Earth -> Earth
N -> N
L -> L
1 -> 1
4 -> 3

There is also an existing thermostat which I intend to leave on full for the moment.

Has anyone got any thoughts?

Cheers,
Luke

Transfer all wires the same, but slight difference as follows:

L to L
N to N
Earth’s to Earth’s
1 to Common (1)
4 to 3 heating on

That’s it.

The wires in 1&4 on the existing now go to 1&3 on the hive, you might find that the L&N as they are doubled , will be difficult to fit in the Hive terminals, , as the hive terminals are very tight, if that is the case use terminal strip , and extend single wires to the L&N, you can put the earths in the terminal strip too if you want as the hive doesnt need an earth

Perfect thanks, good to know it's nothing to worry about and that I was along the right lines.
