The other important question is can we have a photo of the rating plate of the pump. It may need special proteciton.

Basically, the cable that you would normally take from the boiler control to the pump goes instead to contacts A1 and A2. Brown in A1 and Blue in A2.
You then take power to the the other terminals on the contactor.
It’s preferable to take this power from the same source as supplies the boiler, but that may be impractical?
Connect Brown to terminal 1 and Blue to terminal 3.
From the bottom of the contactor you take power to the pump. Brown in terminal 2 and Blue in terminal 4.
I would then connect all the Earth wires together using a terminal block.
Get the wiring diagram for the boiler, identify the pump on the diagram for the boiler, connect A1 A2 where the pump is shown the on the wiring diagram for the boiler. Connect the rest as stated above
I hope this explains:

Top FCU has whatever fuse is recommended for the boiler (3A?).
Lower FCU (13A?).
