says that that programmer should be of the type where heating cannot
be selected without hot water.

If I am following you correctly then I presume you are suggesting a
HW off connection from the programmer to terminal 5 to give seperate
controls.

Yes. There may be occasions - maybe when returning home from holiday
to a cold house, for instance - when you might want the heating on
without waiting for the hot water to heat up first.

Unfortunately, I can't get the pdf file, which you cite above, to
load - so I can't see what the rationale is for not having a CH-only
mode.

I've now managed to get the pdf file to load.

It comes pretty close to contradicting itself - referring to independent
control of HW and CH in some places and then saying that the programmer must
not allow heating to be selected without hot water.

I can't see that it matters *what* the programmer does in this respect - the
effect will be the same. Even with no HW feed from the programmer, the HW
will still be heated (and CH not heated) until the cyl stat is satisfied. So
if you want CH only, you have to turn the cyl stat down below the
temperature of the water in the cylinder.

My suggestion of a HW-off feed from the programmer would enable the same
thing to be achieved without needing to frig about with the cyl stat.
