Baxi Wm38/3RS Room Thermostat
I inherited a BAXI when I moved house.
It is connected to a 3-port valve (activated when the CH comes on), a HW cylinder, (a pump,) and a timer control (POTTERTON EP20000) with seperate CH and HW switches. My problem is that we have no wiring diagram and I want to add a wireless Room Thermostat to the system. Can anyone help? Last edited by MHGAS : March 22nd 13 at 04:02 PM |

If you want help, you have to provide enough information!!!!! |

A 3-port valve is a term in common usage in the UK, and means a valve with 3 openings usually arranged in a "T" shape. Mine is motorised, located under floor boards near the pump and activates when the CH comes on. |

Before we even get to that, which may not matter, we should find out what he means by "adding a wireless thermostat"? At one extreme, it could mean just replacing the existing one. At the other, it could mean he wants to control the temperature in another room seperately and in addition to the existing thermostat. |

We have some great experts in this group, but we have to know about the base system before we can give meaningful advice!!!!!!! Could "CH" be Chilled Water and "HW" be Hot Water? In The U.S., many office and institutional buildings are heated and cooled by a glycol and water mix circulating to coils in air handlers that can be mounted in rectangular housings under the windows or in the ceiling duct work. It may be that the OP has a smaller scale system in his home? ^_^ TDD- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - We'll see if the OP comes back again. |
