Default Sunvic Programmable Room Thermostar TLX 6501 (revisited)

Hi,

Just bought the Sunvic myself from B&Q to replace an old 3 wire thermostat
and it works a treat.

I have a new combi fitted which I have set to "Constant" in order that the
Sunvic can control the heating.

My old connections were Live, Neutral and Heat. I connected the Live to the
COM terminal and Heat (for switching the heting on) to the NO connection.
The Neutral is not required for this type of thermostat and I have safely
terminated that wire.

All works great and it looks quiet cool too.

Hi,

I've been reading the forum around the TLX 6510 and came across this
useful thread:
http://www.diybanter.com/showthread.php?t=2967

I have an old Honeywell T6360B room thermostat and I'm in the middle of
decorating. I'm trying to get something that looks a bit nicer (and
digital, too) and I've been to B&Q and bought a Sunvic TLX 6501.

The problem I'm facing is this:

The Honeywell thermostat has 3 wires (blue, brown and yellow), which I
believe are (taken from thread above):

Blue - Neutral
Brown - CH on (i.e. permanent live)
Yellow/Green - switched live

It's wired as follows (from left to right)

Earth
2 Blue
3 Yellow
4
1 Red
5 Not used (no terminal attached)
6 Not used (no terminal attached)

(I believe that 5 and 6 are for an optional LED, which this model
doesn't have).

The new Sunvic TLX 6501 has 3 terminals (although the thread I
mentioned above suggests that only 2 are used).

Based on my current setup with the Honeywell, can anyone help me
decipher which wires to use and which colours go where?

The Sunvic has the following options:
NO
COM
NC

I'm hoping that what I've bought will still do the same job as the old
analogue Honeywell, but the advantage of this is that during the colder
months, I can leave the heating on all day (we don't normally do this)
and have it automatically set lower during the night and warmer during
the day.

Thanks for your help.
Matt
