VAILLANT ecotec plus 831 wiring controls

[garnhamr]

Hi, wired up one of these today, got given a internal plug in programmer and a danfoss wireless room stat.
I could not get it to work so i wired in an external programmer instead.
am i being dense?
i plugged in the programmer, took out the 24v link and then wired the roomstat with a permanent live because there is no 240v live sent from the bolier only the RT switch live return. now when the programmer is during an off time, if the roomstat is on the heating still comes on which obviously it shouldn't because of the programmer being off.

anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

i dont think you remve any links on these?

 

[garnhamr]

because i'ts using a 240v roomstat i have to remove the 24v link no?

have to say, i didn't try it with the link in place. i'm at home now so can't try :/

hating these vaillant install/user manuals.
'the concept of programmes'
yes thanks vaillant i am aware of the concept, just tell me how to bloody set it.

Are you qualified gas installer? U have removed the boiler combustion chamber door. This is a topic for the gas engineers sanctum - to avoid diy and other less scrupulous persons trawling tinternet and endangering lives!

i'm a sprky

 

[Ermintrude]

Oh dear! Your now an illegal gas installer too!

Get a gas safe engineer to sort it for u. You arnt allowed to remove that cover it forms an extremely important seal on boiler

They have given you the wrong plug in control. You want a (plug in) programmable roomstat depending what make they use there are a few different ones.

Apparently he is but here we go again.
Most "fitters" will stick it on a plug to fire it upp and the spark will apear when he gets there.
There is a TB about this (can't remember the number, look it up).
Its time they sorted things out properly on this as your average gas guy (in Englandshire) isn't even qualified to plug it in :smile:

good thing there was a heating engineer to supervise.
Anyway, that is the conclusion i came to... it just wont work but on the vaillant website it shows a vaillant 240v roomstat that is comaptibel with the timeclock that i used 'timeclodck 160'.
i wish i had of tried it with the 24v link in and i wish vaillant could use proper english in their instructions
