VerifiedHi my name is XXXXX XXXXX lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time. Can you tell me which connections are used on the backplate? You could wire the boiler into the hot water or central heating connection only?
The Neutral (all neutrals into this point) and Live will stay the same. There will be no link between Live and 1 (take it out) The wire that was into 3 will be your timed output, and should go to 3 or 4 on the new clock (HW on) or (CH on). Do you have any other wires into the programmer?
