Help with installation / diagram

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi,


I am after some help with a heated windows installation / diagram - grateful for any input.

Unfortunately, the company supplying the installion went bust and I have been left with a system that doesn't  work (incorrectly designed).

We had a local electrician do the first fix wiring based on the diagrams but he says what has been sent won't work in it's current state and he doesn't have the relevant expertise to adjust it.

We live in a rural area and electricians are not that common especially for something as complex as this.

Rather than post up the diagrams and go into too much detail initially, I just wanted to know if this is a place to ask for advice and if not could anyone point me in the right direction. e.g contact details for an electrical engineer.


Thanks.

    Hi Andy,


    Many thanks for taking the time to have a look.

    I'm no electrician - just the basics. Tbh, I think the whole thing confused the electricians we had on site even though they assured us they understood it all.

    I've attached some pics of the unit that all the wires come back too - each window has a connection coming back directly to the box at the bottom as seen - these are labelled to say which is which.

    Each window has a junction box with blanking plate where the 2 wires from the window are connected to the cable going back to the box pictured.

    There was a transformer sent (still in box) - I'll dig that out & send some pics.


    Thanks.
