Replacing Old Thermostat With new Analogue and Wiring Different

by Andy in Sussex » Sat Apr 09, 2016 2:45 pm

Hi looking for help with replacing an old thermostat for new analogue but the wiring connections are marked differently.
Old connections are as follows:

Red: comm
Yellow: H
Blue: N
Brown: Across H and TL

New thermostat has:
L
3
2
N

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Andy

Each thermostat normally comes with a wiring diagram. To match one to other you need some extra info.

It would seem Blue = N = Neutral on old and new so that wire is easy enough.

The red - Com is likely the line and I would expect it will go to L

That leaves just the yellow - H wire which is very likely call for heat. It is likely 2 and 3 are the N/O and N/C contacts one is for heating the other for cooling but without more info can't help with which the yellow goes to.

Thanks Eric for your reply.

Looking at the Drayton website for the new controller I have to put the call for heat to position 3 so will give this a go with the yellow wire and red wire to Comm

Thanks

Andy
