PROGRAMMERS

 

Will the new Tempus 7 heating programmer fit on the old brown and cream one wall plate?

No, The contact pins on the back of the unit are slightly smaller in length and therefore may not always make contact with the unit. Always use the backplate supplied with the unit for best results. It's also worth noting that the Tempus is now discontinued, although some merchants may still have  a limited stock. The Drayton LP range is the most up to date solution to install.

My Lifestyle LP 112 has stuck and will not accept any commands and is permanently on.

Turn the power off to the unit for 10 minutes to reset the logic. Switch back on again.

I need a CH controller with a "Holiday" and “Boost”function , what models can I have?

The new LP range has these functions.

Can I replace the back up battery in an LP or Tempus unit?

These batteries are factory fitted and not designed to be user replaceable. Unauthorised removal of the battery could damage the unit.
