ecotec plus 831 combi boiler

Hi Guys.  I have had to remove a plug in timer from a ecotec plus 831 boiler today and fit external controls.  I can't get the boiler to fire, it sounds like it's running but isn't.  I seem to remember when fitting some of these internal clocks you have to remove a link for them to operate so i presume i have to put one back somewhere.  The only place i can see is the 12v stat plug.  I tried linking it out but it didn't make any difference.    Anyone a bit more knowledgable than me on here that can help out please.  Cheers.


Customer doesn't have the manual so downloaded one but struggling to find it.


The new controls put power to the rt terminal.  Just thought there is no cable in the other terminal by rt.  I think this is permanently live to feed the external controls anyway but didn't think to check.

  • Thanks Andy.   I am going to meet the plumber there as he needs to fit another zone valve.  ( an underfloor heating system has been added so trying to split it up).


    As for my wiring i think it's very strait forward as far as i can see.  I have fitted a programmable room stat that controls the main heating, this opens the valve and livens up the rt terminal in the boiler.  The boiler 'starts' but isn't heating the heating pipes.  I am now wondering if i have the correct terminal there .  I left the cable where it was when i jigged the old room stat cabling around.  I'll have another look at the on-line manual in a minute and check.  


    Cheers
