    Hi All, i've a guy replaceing my old system with a new Firebird C26. The old one just had Neutral, Earth and Switched live but the new one is looking for those 3 and a permanent live. The book says permanent live is for frost protection and pump overheat protection "if installed" and installer couldnt get it to work.
    Firebird phone lines are closed at the moment but does anyone know anything about why it wont fire up without the permanent live?
    Thanks

    Some Firebird (Silver???) boilers with low emission burners do a post purge and the burner will not operate without a permanent live but don't think this applies to your model.

    ELCO burners perform better with an extra permanent live, but instructions show where you can fit a link which fixes it to run on just L N E
    BUT you loose the post purge benefits.


    I use 4 core to the thermostat and join on to live feed. Which is almost as good.

    Just read there that the RDB burner will operate without a permanent live but with no post purge, don't see anything re link required or/for any other burner type.

    as tom the taximan says


    firebird are now fitting elco burners and they need a permanent live but a link can used from the switched live to overcome this

    but you still need a permanent live to operate the frost stat

    make sure boiler is commissioned and passport sent back otherwise you have no warranty
