Potterton EP3001 Central Heating Control

georgemac_2

I have the above controller. It cannot have the heating and water set to come on at different times so I want to change it out.

I have lost the installation guide which has the instructions to open it and the wiring guide - think to open it I have to press a tab on the bottom. I want to check and see how the system is wired before proceeding. Does anyone have a guide for this controller they could scan and email to me - I have searched everywhere in my house and on the internet. Have only found one locked forum thread.

The potterton website is quite poor, no easily available info, I know I could fit an EP3002 on the existing backplate, but I think there are better controllers out there.
Looking at the Drayton Tempus 7 or the Horstmann Centaur C27

I am sure both of these would require a new backplate to be fitted from what I have read. Also going to check sizes as fitted to a tiled wall.

Anyone have any opinions on these or advice?

Thanks

thanks if you have it I would take a copy

I have now bought a potterton ep6002 controller which I bought brand new online for £43, it fits on the same backplate as the ep3001 so was only a 5 minute job to fit.

I have a Potterton EP3001 but I don't have the instruction manual - can anyone send me a copy of this manual or tell me how to reset the time after a power cut.
It would seem that the battery is also needing renewed since the unit switched off. Does anyone know without switching their own electricity off to check, what battery it takes - saves me switching power off again just to find out - don't want to have to reset everything in the house twice in a day if I can avoid it.

Hi.

These are the overpriced batteries (one)

One example of instructions to be had from Google

The backplates are not interchangeable with other makes.
