hi guys, wiring a new build and struggling with the heating as haven't done to much of it in the past and looking a bit of advice, have underfloor heating down stairs and radiators up stairs, 4 zones for underfloor and one stay upstairs for radiators, in told by plumber no timeclock is necessary and the house will always have hot water, would really just like a wiring diagram for this, I will post pictures of all the diff devices installed by plumber and if I had a diagram I could take it from there, knowledge of heating systems is very limited, thanks in advance

@young sparky
What you are embarking on is a complex project. There are many aspects to this.

Wiring the underfloor manifold system is going to need quite some thought (I see they did at least provide a wiring centre for you)

You really need an electrician on site who is experienced with heating systems, and you can learn it from him/her. Or go on Honeywell training course. I really do not think you'll ever get what you need from an Internet forum.

You are going to need to think about how you will power the various parts of this, especially so that there is a single point of isolation for all of the Boiler and DHW and heating. Also, there seem to be two immersion heaters to power.
 
thanks for the reply , yea I don't do too much in this area so knowledge is quite limited to be fair but if I had the correct drawing for this I could at least wire it and if was in any difficulty get another electrician for the second fix, as regard the two immersion heaters only the one (bottom) will be used
 
Your issue is that there is not one single wiring diagram for this. The external condensing unit and its associated boiler is one project. The UFH manifold is another, the upstairs rads are another, the DHW is another.

Also, how has the plumber done his system? S, plan, Y plan or some other plan.
The standard variations are to be found here
Wiring Guide Issue 16 - Honeywell
As you can see there are lots to choose from!

But, as I say, what you are dealing with is not mainstream. You'll have multiple calls for heat to the boiler, so you'll need to decide how that will be achieved.
Does the boiler have its own internal over-run pump. How will the heating be timed, do the stats have their own individual timers?
 
PS I also wonder about this
told by plumber no timeclock is necessary and the house will always have hot water
That is a big tank. I would want the hot water to be timed, oltherwise you are keeping the tank full of hot water 24/7. And how about holidays? Most people likle to turn off the DHW and turn the heating down when they go away.
 
So far I just pulled cables in for the room stats and out to boiler, all is downstairs is the manifold and a pump, boiler is outside and the tank is upstairs, it's just getting my head around what goes where as this is pretty new, the fact there is no timeclock is baffling me a little tho
