My heating and hot water setup uses a Worcester Greenstar Ri 12 boiler together with a gravity hot water tank with thermostat, a Siemens 3 port mid position valve/actuator, a Potterton EP2 programmer and a Drayton RTS1 thermostat.
The thermostat is placed directly above one of the radiators in the lounge so not an ideal location. In its place I have bought a Salus RT300RF thermostat which I want to mount in a better position but need some advise on how to wire it up.
My initial thoughs were that I could simply wire the reciever using the existing thermostat connections. However this doesnt seem possible since the existing wiring has live/neutral switched on & off by the programmer and the new received needs a permanant live connection.
My current thinking is that I could mount the RT300RF receiver somewhere near the boiler or wiring centre. I guess that I would need to find a permanant live/neutral to power the device and also tap into the 'boiler call' wire. I note also that the old thermostat has a single yellow boiler call wire whereas the new base unit uses the no/com type connection.
I have added some pics of the wiring and hope someone can advise on how to wire up the Salus RT300RF base unit.
All info welcome!
