Horstmann 425 range User manual

1
The 425 range of traditional electro-mechanical programmers offer a simple
yet effective way of controlling hot water and central heating with the twin
circuit Diadem and Tiara also allowing independent control of both.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON
AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CURRENT EDITION OF THE IEE WIRING REGULATIONS.
WARNING : ISOLATE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION

Installation Instructions

Once the backplate has been removed from the
packaging please ensure the programmer is re-sealed
to prevent damage from dust, debris etc.
The backplate should be fitted with the wiring terminals
located at the top and in a position which allows the
relevant clearances around the programmer
(see diagram)
DIRECT WALL MOUNTING
Offer the plate to the wall in the position where the programmer is to be mounted, remembering
that the backplate fits to the right hand end of the programmer.
Mark the fixing positions through the slots, (fixing centres 60.3mm), drill and plug the wall, then
secure the plate in position. The slots in the backplate will compensate for any misalignment of the
fixings.
WIRING BOX MOUNTING
The backplate may also be fitted directly on to a single gang steel flush wiring box complying
withBS4662, using two M3.5 screws.
425 electro mechanical programmers are suitable for mounting on a flat surface only, they must not
be positioned on a surface mounted wall box or on unearthed metal surfaces.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All necessary electrical connections should now be made. Flush wiring can enter from the rear
through the aperture in the backplate. Surface wiring can only enter from beneath the programmer
and must be securely clamped.
The mains supply terminals are intended to be connected to the supply by means of fixed wiring.
The recommended cable sizes are 1.0mm² or 1.5mm² for a Diadem/Tiara and 1.5mm² for a
Coronet.
425 Electro-Mechanical Programmers are double insulated and do not require an earth connection
but an earth terminal is provided on the backplate for terminating any cable earth conductors.
Earth continuity must be maintained and all bare earth conductors must be sleeved. Ensure that no
conductors are left protruding outside the central space enclosed by the backplate.
Fitting the backplate:

Diadem/Tiara:
When used to control MAINS VOLTAGE SYSTEMS
Terminals L, 2 and 5 should be electrically
linked by means of a suitable piece of sleeved
conductor. When used to control EXTRA LOW
VOLTAGE SYSTEMS these links MUST NOT be
fitted.
Coronet:
When used to control MAINS VOLTAGE SYSTEMS
Terminals L and 5 should be electrically linked
by means of a suitable piece of sleeved
conductor. When used to control EXTRA LOW
VOLTAGE SYSTEMS these links MUST NOT be
fitted.
Interlocking - Diadem and Tiara only
If a Diadem or Tiara is used on gravity hot water/pumped central heating systems the selector
slides must be interlocked for correct programme selection.
This is achieved by rotating the interlock located at the top of the HW programme slide. First select
‘Twice’ on the HW selector slide, then select the Off position on the CH selector slide; this will reveal
the screwdriver slot in the interlock.
Position the screwdriver in the slot and rotate anti-clockwise until the slot is almost horizontal (a
stop will prevent the interlock from being turned too far).
Check for correct operation of programme slides. This should result in the HW selector slide moving
up to match any CH selection (twice, all day and 24 hours).
When the CH slide switch is returned to any of the lower positions (all day, twice and off), the HW
slide switch will stay in the uppermost position reached and will have to be manually moved to the
desired new position.

Example circuit diagrams for some typical installations are shown below. These diagrams are
schematic and should be used as a guide only.
Please ensure that all installations comply with the current IEE regulations.
For reasons of space and clarity not every system has been included and the diagrams have been
simplified (for example some earth connections have been omitted)
Other control components shown in the diagrams i.e. valves, room stats etc are general
representations only. However the wiring detail can be applied to the corresponding models of most
manufacturers, e.g. Horstmann, Honeywell, Danfoss Randall, ACL Drayton etc.

Fitting the programmer
If surface wiring has been used, remove the knockout/insert from
the bottom of the programmer to accommodate it.
Loosen the two ‘captive’ retaining screws on the top of the unit.
Now fit the programmer to the backplate and line the lugs
on the programmer with the flanges on the backplate.
Swing the top of the programmer into position ensuring that the
connection blades on the back of the unit locate into the terminal
slots in the backplate.
Tighten the two ‘captive’ retaining screws to fix the unit securely,
then switch on the mains supply.
The tappets can now be set to suit the user’s requirements.
Please refer to the user’s guide provided.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Before handing over the installation to the user, always ensure that the system responds correctly
on all control programmes and that other electrically operated equipment and controls are correctly
adjusted.
EXPLAIN HOW TO OPERATE THE CONTROLS AND HAND OVER THE USERS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO THE USER.
