Valves on a combi volt free

[Redvanman]

So your connecting the switch wires of the valves together?

Nope the micro switch wires grey and orange are separately connected to each external control terminals in the boiler.
image that the first terminal in the boiler is a feed to a light switch (grey) and the 2nd terminal is connected to the switch line (orange) coming back from the switch

 

[Redvanman]

But if both valves are in the open position, voltage on the orange and you shut one valve it won't shut until you lose voltage to the other

You have two separate voltage sources, one from the switch spur and one from the boiler completely separate so that it doesn't matter what the valves do it will not affect each other

 

[Redvanman]

No, not switchwires, micro switch voltage free orange and grey.
As post no 3 thisafternoon.

is it only me and you understanding this

Im leaving it to you and will admire your patience at a distance.

Jesus, I'm pleased you get It redvanman, the grey and the orange on a two port are separate to the 240v side hence giving you the boiler no volt side. Why do electricians find c heating so complicated!

 

[Redvanman]

Hallelujah some one else can do c/heating you would be amazed how many electricians I come across who don't understand the wiring, it's really only switching

Boydy, my patience is this long on site hence I normally work alone GRR

So redvanman if both valves are open hence both putting voltage to the ignition/fan. Are you saying if one of the stats stop calling it will shut even if the voltage is present from the other stat surely it will be held open back feeding from the fan and ignition side of the boiler. Have you looked at the schematic for the jaguar boiler?

 

[jaydee81]

no it would work the same as normal s plan ie when stat stops calling for heat the valve would shut opening the contact between grey and orange its the brown and neutral wires on the valve that makes it open and close

 

[onions1066]

So your relying on them being spring return valves?

 

[Redvanman]

It doesn't matter if they are spring return or not the valve motor is fed from one supply and the micro switches are fed from a different supply so no back feed.
i feel sorry for grandfortune he's probably ripped the boiler of the wall my now

 

[onions1066]

But if they are both igniting the same boiler in the end they will meet at the ignition pcb. So no matter where the supply originates if they meet at the end they will affect each other. There only one way to find out, he should do it and tell us if it works.

 

[jaydee81]

how does a 230v s plan work then ????????? as both valves still connect to the same terminal in the boiler

Some one pass me a gun:29:

we probably find it complicated cus we alwas pump 230v down, i understand what Radvanman is saying just never wired it like that.i also understood what onions was saying about the switches as both would be open if they were put together in the boiler connections, unill i drew it out, onoins the 230v to the stat opens the value so i doesnt matter if they are connected together if the stat isnt calling it wont send the 230 to the motor of the valve, am i right there??

Thanks for the reply's guys, 1000's of S and Y and S+plans & air source haeting done never had to wire a boiler like this before, probably cus im trying to get it to work with a Combi
