Immersion Element - Quick Question re: Wiring

Folks,

I have a quick question regarding the wiring on an Immersion Element as follows:

The immersion is wired as follows:

Blue -> Stat
Black -> Sink
Brown -> Bath
Green/Yellow -> Earth

Assuming the following conditions:

Power to the Immersion Element is switched on and in SINK mode
The water has reached temperature and the stat has turned off

If I were to put a phase tester to each point where power flows (sink, bath, stat in, stat out) which points should light up?

Many Thanks

theyd all show live except stat out

Stat out is where the Blue Neutral enters the stat, right?

And when the stat calls for heat again only the SINK terminal lights, correct?

Thanks very much, greatly appreciated.
