Hi Tamz, Success, after following your instructions a trouble free installation which only took a couple of minutes to do, it's a massive improvement on the Micromark, which was running OK but did not give me the progammable options that the Digistat + 3 does, it's very user friendly and easy to use. Once again Many Thanks for your Help and advice with this issue.

Hi Tamz, You can't get rid of me that easy. The help and advice you gave me was great, the installation of the hard Wired Digistat +3 went well. Now I have another issue you may feel that you can help me with. Having seen My new Digistat +3, My daughter has just purchased the Digistat+ 3 RF701 version, and guess what, who do you think will be connecting it up. Loking at the Wiring Diagram it looks like all I have to do its disconnect the wiring for the old Stat from the Combi Boiler, Link into the
L & N ion the boiler and run to the SCR receiver L&N . Then I am not sure about terminals 1 & 2 on the SCR it looks like they run to the External Control connections on the boliler, Also what cable do I need to have. It will only be a short link from the SCR to the boiler, the SCR will be sited virtually next to the boiler in the boiler cupboard, any help advise that you can give with this issue will be appreciated.
Best Regards

You have gone for the hard way again . Would have been easier with a 22083 but never mind.

You will need a bit 4 core + earth flex (at least 0.75mm) or 2 bits of 2 core + earth.

Site the receiver about a foot or so away from the boiler. Take a live and neutral from the boiler to the L & N terminals on the receiver.

Remove the original stat wires from the boiler and take 2 more wires from there and connect them to 1 & 3 of the receiver.

Job done

Hi Tamz, Back again just to clarify it, with the cable you have said I need, I know I have some 3 core cable that I can use to run Two bits of cable One for L & N terminals and the other for terminals 1 & 3.
The only doubt I have is with the earth wire, on both leads, I presume that I should egnore this as it states that it is not required as the receiver is double insulated.

Just cut the earth off on both leads. The receiver is double insulated so it is not needed.

Hi once again Tamz,
Just to confirm that acting on your advice I did the installation of the Drayton Digistat +3 RF model successfully and without any related problems, in fact it was a doddle to do. The receiver is sited inside the boiler cupboard with a live feed direct from the boiler. The origional room thermostat feed was disconnected and replaced with a new feed from the boiler to the receiver. The thermostat transmitter is sited in the lounge and not inline from direct sunlight, which was the issue with the origional thermostat. Once again Many Thanks for your help witgh tghis issue.
Best Regards

Have a look at the stats to be replaced and see if they have a neutral (3 wires) Most do but some don't.
Test the wires by turning the CH on and the stat up and down to confirm which wire is which.
The one that is live with the stat turned down (off) will connect to C on the new digistat. The one which becomes live when the stat is turned up connects to ON
If there is a neutral present safely isolate it (bit connector block will do).
Leave CH set to 24hrs on the programmer
