INSTALLATION
33 EXTERNAL CONTROLS
The wiring diagrams illustrated in Frames 35-37 cover the
systems most likely to be fitted to this appliance.
For wiring external controls to the boiler, reference should
be made to the system wiring diagrams supplied by the
relevant manufacturer, in conjunction with the wiring
diagrams shown in Frames 35-37.
Difficulty in wiring should not arise, providing the following
directions are observed:
1. Preferred wiring method.
Controls that switch the system on or off, e.g. a time
switch, must be wired, in series and terminate with a volt
free contact across EC1/EC2.
2. Alternative wiring method.
A switched live supply may be connected to EC1
(leaving EC2 without connection), which must be fused
at 2A Maximum.
IMPORTANT.
A link wire between terminals EC1 and EC2 is not
acceptable.
Notes.
a.
Route the cable to terminal EC1 and EC2 from the
RHS of the boiler.
b.
The terminal plate may be unscrewed from the
controls support to improve access for connection.
3.
Controls that override an on/off control, e.g. frost
thermostat must be wired, in parallel, with the control(s)
to be overridden. Refer to Frame 38.
4.
If a proprietary system is used, follow the instructions
supplied by the manufacturer.
Advice on required modifications to the wiring may be
obtained from the component manufacturers.

5.
On completion of all wiring connections, relocate the
control box and secure.
Notes.
1.
Connection between a frost thermostat and the time
control should be made without disturbing other wiring.
2.
A frost thermostat should be sited in a cool place in the
house, but where it can sense heat from the system.
Preferred Wiring Method.
