[Jayforde]

Hi i need to change my old salus receiver to my new hive one and im not sure about the wiring do i put it all the wires in the same places on the hive receiver? The picture is the wiring into the old receiver

Welcome to the forum mate.

Do you have a pic of the new hive unit, where the wires go?
Not knowing lots about these things but does the Salus & Hive units require the same power voltage?

 

[Jayforde]

Hi yes this is one of the huve receiver. The picture is of it wired into another boiler so ignore the wires

Do you know if terminal 3 of the Hive unit is the Normally Open contact? Should say in the manual.
Do the Salus & Hive units require the same power voltage?

Yes terminal 3 is NO ill include a picture how do i find out power voltage?

I'm presuming is just mains voltage but I don't want to guess.
Is should say in the manual what it needs to be wired up to.

Yes the old one was to a fuse spur and the new has to be mains supplied

So it looks like it can be swapped easy enough then.

So just put all wires in same terminals in the new receiver?

It looks like they both have the same functions so put the power cables in the new power terminals. (make sure this is properly isolated)
Wire the switch wire to the new common and Normally Open terminals. Add link wire.
As original wiring (but the terminal idents are different)

hive is terminals 1 & 3 for common and demand on a single Channel unit
