As you hay have noticed I live and work in the Highlands.
Tomorrow I have to drive 50 miles north to fit an external time clock to an electric boiler, to replace the internal one that the tenant finds too difficult to use.
As usual, an unseen job, so no luxury of looking, then ordering the correct parts. All I know is the neighbouring property (same boiler) has been fitted with an external programmer, so it is possible.
So what to take?
I'm guessing it will need to be a programmer with volt free contacts, rather than just a switched L output. but I don't have one, and don't want to start my day with a 20 mile drive in the opposite direction to get one first thing.
So I have a normal Drayton programmer. I open it up for a look, and find there are s set of soldered in links, that you can re configure. 5 minutes work, and I now have a programmer with volt free contacts so job should be a good un tomorrow without the detour.
Just thought it worth mentioning in case you are stuck, these things can be reconfigured (though will probably invalidate any warranty on it)
