FAQs
What type of heating system is this pack suitable for?
This pack is specifically designed for biflo (two-pipe) central heating systems. It is important to confirm your system type before installation.
Do I need a professional to install this?
Yes, for safety and optimal performance, this control pack should be installed by a qualified heating engineer.
How do I program the heating schedule?
The LP822 universal programmer allows you to set daily and weekly schedules for both heating and hot water. Consult the programmer's manual for detailed instructions on setting times and temperatures.
What is the function of the mid-position motorised valve?
The 3-port mid-position motorised valve controls the flow of water in your heating system, directing it either to the radiators, to the hot water cylinder, or both, depending on your settings.
Can I control my heating and hot water independently?
Yes, the programmer allows for independent scheduling of heating and hot water, enabling you to set different times and durations for each.
How often should I clean the components?
The components require minimal cleaning. A light dusting with a dry cloth periodically is sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
Troubleshooting
Heating or hot water not turning on
Check that the programmer is switched on and set to the correct time and mode (Auto/On). Verify that the thermostats are set to the desired temperatures and that the programmer has called for heat/hot water. Ensure the main power supply to the system is active.
Motorised valve not operating
Check the wiring connections to the valve and the programmer. Ensure the programmer is sending the correct signals. Listen for any humming noise from the valve motor; if silent, it may require replacement.
Room temperature is not as set
Ensure the room thermostat is correctly positioned away from draughts or direct heat sources. Check the thermostat's temperature setting and verify that the heating system is calling for heat via the programmer and valve.
Hot water is too hot or too cold
Adjust the setpoint on the HTS3 cylinder thermostat. Ensure the thermostat probe is correctly inserted into the cylinder's pocket.
