    I have a old honeywell t40 mechanical thermostat
    I want to change it to a new digital honeywell dt90e

    Can someone please help with wiring.
    I have uploaded the old wiring
    Currently its wired up as follows
    Earth to earth
    Blue -2
    Yellow-3
    Red-1

    How would i wire it up to dt90e. I have attached a wiring diagram of the dt90e which is the last picture

    Thanks

    Old stat red to new stat A.
    Old stat yellow to new stat B.
    The neutral will need safely terminated.

    Yes blue neutral needs terminating.
    Is there space on the new stat for an earth?

    I would if room permits use a block connector, if not bend over wires so no possibility of copper sticking out of end and use insulation tape.

    Would that be for both blue and earth wires?

    have a look at the thermostat backplate,the square cable access area.

    The not required wires can be independently terminated in a 3amp 2 block terminal strip some trimming of the block connector with a Stanley knife helps. carefully situate it in the cable access area. Sometimes taking a few mm out of the wall in the cable access area will assist accommodating the connector block.

    There are always other ways of doing jobs,others will have other ideas :)

    Ok thanks much appreciated

    So just to clarify wiring into honeywell dt90e

    Red(live) goes into A
    Yellow (switched live) goes into B
    Blue (neutral)into terminal block
    Earth into terminal block?

    The wiring will be correct.
