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.

    Something like this cheap from scewfix  is typical and about the simplest - takes in L and N supply and gives out a switched L (and you carry the N on to the loads.)


    see diagrams  diarams


    If you do not connect the N the mechanical contacts still work but some designs have a pre-heat to reduce the hysterisis a bit.

    But actually even the complex ones wifi enabled type need more or less  the same wiring really. Not all designs have the back contact that comes on when it gets hot - that is used for air-con, you want the one that comes on when it gets cold of course...

    Some test lamps and a hair dryer may allow some debugging,,,
