Default Wiring in a programmer/roomstat to a combi boiler

Hi
I am on the home straight to installing a complete ch system in my house.
The combi is a worcester bosch 28i and I have a Horstmann centaurstat 1 to
site in the lounge. Problem is although I found the ch a doddle to install
wiring is not my strong point. The Centaurstat has four connections 1) Live
(line) 2) Load (heat) 3)load (cool) and 40 Neutral (parking). The combi has
two sets of three connectors one for the room stat and one for the
programmer. The 3 for the roomstat are 1) RN (neutral) 2) RI (switched live)
3) RL (live) and the 3 for the programmer are 1) CN (neutral) 2) CI
(switched live) 3)CL (live). So it appears that i will have 6 wires coming
from the combi to wire to 4 terminals on the centaurstat so it seems that
some trminals on the cetaurstat are shared. If anyone knows how to wire this
I would be very grateful for the info.
Regards
Nick

Ignore the 3 for the programmer, and ignore no.3 connection on the stat, and
then neutral to neutral, live to live and Load(heat) to RI (switched live)

Job done.

Is this assuming that the Stat is wired in series with the programmer
though? Otherwise there is no time control to this system?

Aren't we talking about a programmable stat, which does *both* timing *and*
temperature control in a single device?

Even if we are still having a conventional controller in series is
handy as most programmable stats are not easy to manually force off by
a single button push or three, where as programmers are. Also if you
have noisey pipework it can be a bit annoying having the heating come
on at 0300 just beacause the house has sunk below 15C. Heat it when
you need it not just because some dum stat says so.

In 7 years of having a programmable stat on our system I can't say I've
ever noticed that desire. If I want to turn the system off for some
reason then I use the boiler controls. (as it happens there is timer as
well in the circuit as the boiler has one built in, but I never touch
it)

The Sat would only be saying so because that is how you had programmed
it

If you don't want the heating to come on in that situation you would set
a lower temp for that time period
