Ideal Logik + wireless digital thermostat

Hi Bond.

I'm not familiar with that boiler, nor can I recommend the best wireless prog stat. But, wiring them up is usually very easy.

See the cable going to your manual 'stat? The receiver part of the wireless 'stat essentially gets connected to these wires, and it could even be mounted in that place on the wall if you wanted. But, it is usual to mount the receiver much closer to the boiler.

Do you know where that wall 'stat cable goes? How does it get connected to the boiler - is there a wiring box somewhere?

Anyways, once the receiver is wired to the same wires as the current 'stat, the actual 'stat part will be battery operated and can be placed anywhere.

Actually, why do you want 'wireless' anyways? You could fit a normal 'wired' digital 'stat where the current one is.

 

Your stat connections will be in the boiler somewhere, remove them and connect the receiver relay in its place the receiver will need live and neutral to operate on mine there was an option for 230v switching (for older boilers) or a 0v switching for more modern ones.

 

Are there any motorised valves on your system? If so, there's a good chance there's a wiring centre somewhere, probably near the boiler. This is a box where all the cables go to to be connected - it can be a bit daunting when you first take off the lid.

If there ain't one, it'll likely be as Eric says.

So - have a looksee and report back please.

 

Please reprot back on my earlier post first - don't jump t'gun.

Yes, it's usually easy to trace the wires - if you have an installation booklet (which can be found on t'net if you don't have one yourself.)

You will almost certainly require 3 wires in total - two are the power supply (L & N) and the third is the 'switched live' to control the boiler.

BUT you need to tell us what's already there - what sort of timer/programmer does your boiler have, for instance?

 

I have a similar problem to solve in my house. I installed a wood burner in the lounge earlier in the year, the lounge is now nice and warm but as the CH stat. is in the lounge the rest of the house is freezing!
I thought about going the wireless route but on second thoughts I think i'll extend the stat. wires and run them into the hallway and position the stat. there.

 

Cough - just turn your 'stat up...

 

Bond, I'm sure that Salus is perfectly fine.

You want it programmable too - ie it does the timings as well as temps? In which case you either remove the old timer control or else leave it set to 'on 24hrs'.

How is your heating controlled - by this same timer (hot cylinder) or do you have a combi boiler?

(SEE IF YOU CAN FIND A WIRING CENTRE!)

 

If its a combi boiler it will be easy if not its a bit more complicated you will have to go into the heating JB and locate them, it will probably treble and earth.......... But not always ???????????

 

Do it the flateric way sen a wireless stat Sooooooooooooooooooo lazy

 

Does the wiring control look like this?

 

Got to dash - but the Salus can be wired 240 or 24v.

 

Pushy...

See image 1515? Can you take the cover off that middle box and tak' a photie?


So which wires will I have to disconnect from the boiler PCB in order to connect the wires of the wireless digital thermostat?

Don't know yet - we need to see inside that wiring centre. See the timer in the kitchen(?), do you want to keep that or remove it? If you keep it, it will need setting to on 24hrs.



I dont seem to have a thermostat loop in my setup?

Really? Does the thermostat in the connie actually do anything? Yes? Then you have a thermostat loop in your setup.


Will i have to connect the receiver wiring to a mains feed too along with in the boiler?

No. There should be all the wires you need within that wiring box. Whether it's easy to determine which one is which is another matter.



Also i have 2 wall mounted manual thermostat but currently only ONE is working (conservatory one). According to the wiring is it cos only one is connected up?

Which is the other one - that one mounted alongside the main switch and wiring box? If so, I suspect that's a frost 'stat, in which case it will be wired in, and should remain so.


Lastly will the timer (img 1520) be totally disconnected once i wire up the wireless digital thermostat?

That depends on you. But best if it's removed.



How do i know what my installation setup is, 230V AC Installation or 24V Installation?

It'll likely all be 240V.
