Hi John, I’ve come across your videos and have found them extremely helpful. I have just bought a new build property with a dual zone combi boiler and want to install hive but I’m struggling to identify which type of system I have. Could I share a picture of the wiring centre and ask for your help identifying it?

John, guessing, what proportion of UK boilers don't use 230V SL ? I'd be sorely tempted to permanently link A-B in the boiler and have the zone valves just power up the boiler ! My boiler doesn't have a permanent live - so not an issue. I believe many systems in the USA are 24VAC control systems - so zone valve motors are 24V.

You can add as many zones as you want. Each zone needs a valve and thermostat, thermostat output connected to the valve brown wire. All other wires connect as in the diagram. No relays required.

Mike Younge Another informative video. In the drawing is show that Thermostat terminal 3 is linked to wiring Centre 7. In the Tado Thermostat it can be linked directly to the boiler A&B . This would leave the brown zone wire free (7) where would this be linked to operate the zone motor to trigger 9&10?
@jwflame3 жыл бұрын
Any thermostat with volt free contacts can be linked directly to the boiler, but that is only usable for a single heating zone, where there are no zone valves.

Hi John, my apologies i should have been a bit clearer as to what pump i was referring to , the pump i am quoting here is the ufh manifold pump which is connected to one of the two zone valves in my setup. i think i will need to use the 230V switching diagram for this, any advise will be much appreciated. thanks
@jwflame Жыл бұрын
@@nneethan5 Yes, it's the 230V version. If it's a single UFH zone with only 1 thermostat, the pump connects to the switched output of the thermostat, which is also where the brown valve wire connects. Pump will run for a short time before the valve opens but this doesn't matter as it only circulates water via the manifold and UFH, not through the valve. For more than one UFH zone, the pump, thermostats and zone actuators are wired to a UFH controller, with the switched output from the controller connected directly to the valve brown wire.

What if my UFH controller has volt free output switching for the boiler, but my boiler wants. 240v live return to turn on?

Connect 240V to one of the output terminals, the other connects to the boiler. 'Volt free' is just a switch with nothing connected to it, you can use it for any voltage you want.

Hi, this is a great video for learning! 2 questions if you don’t mind: 1) On the boilers with a 24v input, how is that 24v generated? Does the permanent 240v live to the boiler branch off and get reduced down through the circuit board? 2) Where can you see what I put a particular boiler requires? Thank you!
@JasperJanssen2 жыл бұрын
In this boiler’s case, one of the two terminals is outputting 24v and the other is detecting its presence. Hence the voltage is not very important, what it’s detecting is merely presence or not of a dead short between those two pins.

Hi John videos are very informative, in this example of a zone to a volt free combi, how could I also add a 240v pump to the wiring for an underfloor heating zone? Thanks
@jwflame4 жыл бұрын
If it's a single UF zone with only a pump, then the pump connects to the switched output of the thermostat in the same way that the valve motor does. Pump N&E connects to 3&5. For zone 1 in the diagram, pump L connects to 7 For zone 2 in the diagram, pump L connects to 8

You will need to use the other terminals on the Nest to switch 230V for the valve motors. Opentherm is only control for the boiler.

Hello John, another great video. Are the relays usually supplied with boilers where non-230v to A & B terminals? Or if not can you suggest one please?
@jwflame3 жыл бұрын
Relay won't be supplied with the boiler, if one is needed you will have to obtain it yourself. For the diagram in this video, it would need a 230V AC coil and at least one normally open contact.

Zones are great but not very efficient. Heat on first floor rises to second floor, and second floor heat get combined with first floor heat that has risen . The first floor is usual to cold and the second to hot. For this to really work correctly there needs to be a zones in every room upstairs . For that to work you need electrical dampers/valves to each room and a cold air/ water return in every room. Interesting theory on paper.

My boiler supports both low-voltage and 230v control.. Which one is better to use ?
@AsimNizАй бұрын
I have a circulating pump on zones 2 for UFH. how would I go about wiring this up? E to E, N to N, L to 8 ?.. Once the Thermostat calls for heat, the zone will open and pump turn on. That would make the logic sense as 9 would be low voltage and not enough power for the pump? .. Would it make more sense to go for the 230v controller from your previous video?
@jwflameАй бұрын
Yes - the UFH pump is switched by the thermostat, so it only runs when heat is required for that zone. Use the 230V switching option if the boiler has that.

Only problem here is you would have a 5 core flex going into the 2 port valve with single insulated cables inside the outer sheath with both 230v and 24v when really they would need double insulation atleast to keep the 230v away from the 24v.

Think you have misread the diagram as the only 24 volt connections are from the relay terminals 1 and 2 on to the boiler terminals A and B. All conductors to the 2 port valves in this instance have mains 230 voltage on them.

A better option than a relay so you can do most of the work in 230V would be using the other kind of zone valve, with a 24v motor. There’s no real reason to do this all by switching non touch safe voltages, afaict.

If you are using 24V switching, it's the two 24V RT terminals where the thermostat is connected. The L and RT terminals are the equivalent if using 230V switching. These must NOT be connected in any way to the 24V terminals, doing so will cause damage.
