Wiring External Timer problem

J

johnpt

Hello All - I am changing a faulty timer for a Glowworm Boiler with an APT timer. There is no valves or stats so its seemed fairly basic. I have a fused spur which feeds an APT timer - brown blue & green from fused spur is Live In (Brown), Neutral (Neutral) & Earth (green) too APT Timer - then i have a 4 core cable from APT too Boiler -
1 Black = Live Out (APT) = Switch Live at boiler,
2 Brown = Live In (APT) = Permanent Live Boiler
Neutral = Too Neutral

The problem is although the timer works and turns On/Off boiler the light on Timer stays on when its in off position -the light dims but still stays on. What am I doing wrong

Please see page 24 of the above for wiring diagram
 
Sounds like youre getting a backfeed from somewhere. maybe a divertor valve in the boiler.

Check the voltages you have at the timer.
