Radio telemeter series K

[John Convery]

I have a Horstmann Radio Telemeter series K that is not working. I have one consumer unit with all circuits. This consumer is fed via a normal standard tariff meter. I have a econ 7 timer for the hot water tank with two immersion heaters. Do I need to install a consumer unit for the hot water circuit and connect it to the radio telemeter.
Any help woul be gratefully accepted.
Many thanks

Probably, but you need to do some research into how much electricity you use over a few days. Note the meter readings at midnight and at 7am over a few days, first with the water heater on all the time, and then with the water heater only on between midnight and 7am.

If I was a mind to reconnect the RTS and install a small 2way CU just for the economic water heating, As I not familiar with the RTS shown in my picture and the correct way to connect it, could you explain how I need to connect it?
Thanks for any help.

I don't think you will find anyone on here who will guide you in connecting it, as already said you would be interfering with an electric meter, although It's already been messed with and left without seals.

Thanks. I will have to speak to SSE.

There is usually a wiring diagram on the inside front cover (allegedly)
