Possible Causes

Incorrect wiring between thermostat and boiler, Thermostat set to wrong control mode (bus vs on/off), Faulty relay contacts, Boiler external control input disabled in boiler settings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power to boiler and thermostat before wiring checks.

  • Check control mode: In the thermostat installer menu, confirm whether it is configured for bus control or simple on/off relay, matching the boiler’s expected input.
  • Verify wiring: Ensure the thermostat’s COM and NO relay terminals are wired to the correct boiler terminals (e.g. TA/COM). For bus mode, ensure bus wires are on OT+/OT− or BUS terminals.
  • Boiler settings: On the boiler control panel, ensure external thermostat control is enabled and not overridden by internal programming.
  • Test relay: With power on, command heating and listen for a click at the thermostat. If no click and no boiler response, the relay or bus output may be faulty and the thermostat may need replacement.
