[QUOTE="myksterx, post: 504173, member: 32956"] Hi, me again 😊 i have purchased an eclipse tr-010x (Hopefully lets me upload downloaded image off internet) i have the following; 13A plug, wired with 1.5 3 core wire, through a waterproof screw connector, into a sealed box with thermostat screwed to the top. i have a 1.5 3 Core wire going out through the other waterproof screw connector into a normal plug socket, my oil radiator then plugs into that. ok so inside my box, i have; neutral to neutral (connector block) earth to earth (connector block) (From 13a plug) live to terminal 1 (to plug socket) live to terminal 4 my radiator does turn on, but the dial is the opposite way... so if i set the temperature gauge to 21c, it clicks off. if i set it to 15c it clicks on? its as though i have it wired backwords? i did switch lives also and that didnt work, i can only assume im in the wrong terminals on the thermostat [ATTACH]11016._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
