I have a problem with my heating system since I changed the programmer.
The system is a 28-year old open vented gravity HW system, with a pumped CH system as well. My Randall 3060 packed up over Christmas - Bug number 1 started moving instead of switching the heating on, until it jammed up against bug number 2. Anyway, I decided to replace it with a more modern 5/2 digital programmer - a trip to B&Q Warehouse revealed that a Sunvic Select 207XL was a suitable replacement unit for the Randall 3060. Sunvic fitting guide listed the wired terminals from the Randall's MK3 plate that should be disconnected and reconnected to the Sunivc wallplate - Basically, I ended up with three neutral wires to terminal N, a live wire to terminal L, and a HW and CH on wire to terminals 3 & 4. Dip switches on the programmer were set to Gravity, 5/2 day programming and three time periods. This left me with some wires left over - a red/black combo that were wired into the same terminal on the Randall, and three earth wires. For each set, I have taped them together with insulating tape and bent them out of the way for now. However, I can only get the hot water to come on. This warms up two of the three upstairs radiators as well (I think I have an antigraviy valve missing in my system!), but downstairs is very frosty. Pump is not spinning up, from what I can see. Clearly it is not wired right, but having followed the Sunvic instructions I am unsure what to do next. Does anyone else have experience with this set up? |
