Drayton LP 522 PROGRAMMER?

SETTING THE HOT WATER PROGRAMS, HOW DOES THIS WORK I.E HEAT THE WATER?
JOHN HEWITT, April 2009
The programmer itself doesn't heat water. It is connected to your heating system via a cylinder stat and then the 2 port valve or mid position valve depending on what type of system you have fitted.

When there is a demand for hot water the cylinder stat contact makes and sends a voltage to the motorised valve. This valve will move to the hot water position. By doing this it sends a voltage to the boiler/pump and they run . The boiler heats your hot water and the pump pumps it around your system.

If you have a combi boiler the wiring is similar, however when you open the hot tap, the flow of water is sensed by a flow switch within the boiler and it is the movement of water that causes the boiler to ignite and heat the water
