Hi all,
several weeks ago I asked for wiring advice, see original post:
We are building a house with wet underfloor heating which goes back to 2 control units, which have all the wiring completed, only leaving
2 wires from each unit going back to the boiler (volt free). the boiler has now been installed (Worcester Greenstar 12/18) which I could not find any volt free connections, I spoke with Worcester bosch technical today and all they could tell me was that the boiler doesn`t have the appropriate connections, but could not tell me how I could resolve this problem. Anyone shed any light???.The replies seemed to be unanimous:
OK the "boiler relay / volt-free" connection is a pair of contacts which close when the controller wants the boiler to run. It's "volt-free" because neither of the contacts is tied to anything of a set voltage, such as mains live. If you wire that pair of contacts to LR and LS (leaving NS not connected to anything) then the boiler will fire up when the controller wants it to. Assuming the boiler has a pump built-in then that wil run too, without you having to connect anything to the boiler's "pump relay / voltfree" contacts.
I now have oil, and have boiler up and running hot water working fine, but the heating is not ciculating after looking into it, the pumps on each of the underfloor heating cicuits are not starting, I have swapped the wires over on the LR and LS and still won`t run, I have checked all the wiring on the heating control units and can`t find any fault there. Anyone any clues.
Thanks.
