I'm actually suspicious of the Drayton Digistat 3 roomstat.

It has two connection wires. Is this just a normally open switch that
closes when it calls for heat?

It's a changeover switch, normally wired as a normally open.


Can I just connect these two wires
together to check out that this is the problem?

Yes, - of course you're aware they're at mains voltage.

The fixed wiring should be connected to terminals 1 and 3 on the backplate

Mike,

Many thanks. I thought that was the case..

Yes - well aware of the mains voltage..

They are indeed connected to 1 and 3..

I'll give it a try and respond with how I got on..

Many thanks,
Roy
