Central Heating Digital Room Stat
Hi,
After reading how it was a good thing to change an old dial room stat to the new digital ones I was hoping someone can help, I would like to replace my old 3 wire dial room stat with a new 2 wire digital one, the problem I have is on my old stat the wiring is as follows,
the terminals from left to right are marked - 4, 5, 1, 3, 2 and wired 4 = Blue, 5 = empty, 1 = Brown, 3 = empty & 2 = black.
On the new stat I have terminals L & SL which I assume to mean 'live' and 'switched live' could anyone advise on which of my wires need to go where on the new stat or is it not possible.
Many Thanks.

This is a fantastic site, and has just the guide you need.

That should cover everything.
If you are still unsure, use the forum search function as this question can get asked once a week during winter.0 -
The new stat may be voltage free with battery backup? Either way, the neutral is not required.Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0
