2.2 INSTALLATION

2.0  INSTALLATION

The BoilerMate 2000 incorporates a pump 
overrun for the boiler pump and terminal 6 
on the terminal strip (as shown on page 22) 
should only be used if the boiler requires a 
permanent live for another purpose.

The boiler manufacturers wiring instructions 
should be read in conjunction with this 
manual.

Before switching on the electrical supply check 
all the factory made terminal connections to 
ensure they have not become loose during 
transit.

Frost Protection

When frost protection is required for the whole 
house or where a base temperature is required 
during cold weather, then a frost thermostat 
should be wired across plug in terminals  21 
and 23 on the A.C.B board.  

An alternative to fitting a frost thermost 
would be to set the programmer to constant 
during the time required and adjust the room 
thermostat to a suitable setting.

When frost protection is required for the 
boiler circuit only a frost thermostat and pipe 
mounted thermostat should be fitted.  The 
pipe thermostat should be mounted on the 
primary return pipe adjacent to the boiler and 
both thermostats should be wired from the 
terminal strip as shown opposite.
