Potterton EP2 Twin Channel Programmer

Product Information

Fully Pumped or Gravity System if just swapping front plate EP2001 for EP2 is it gravity system setting you put just standard oil boiler. When slider is moved over to set all seven days appear on the top of the screen and I cannot just get to individual days of the week. The extra flexibility doesn't make a lot of difference, because I copied Mondays settings to the rest of the week anyway.

I do not have any of these, but the manual mentions EP2000, EP2002, EP3002 and EP6002 so I guess all of those are just as easy to replace with the EP2.The new one has the same contacts into the existing terminals on the backplate - there is also a new backplate provided if you need one, but my old one looked fine so I simply pulled out the battery protection tab, snapped the new programmer back onto the old backplate, switched it on and started programming it according to the instructions. They mention that it fits perfectly onto the existing back plate, and it's easy to retrofit into the original mount. Be aware that the display is difficult to read from below, especially in poor or artificial light, avoid having to look up at the programmer.

Praise the Lord, I had visions of having no hot water and a grumpy wife nagging me to get a whole new boiler for days. Had to push it down quite hard to lock it in place, as the wires behind had to be pushed back, but it sprang into life when I powered back up, and after I'd programmed in the ons and offs took over where the old had left off.

I also have a spare backplate with just a mains connection on it and the locking part of the catch filed off so that I can set the programmer up on the table as it is too awkward to work in the airing cupboard and of course the memory battery holds the settings. Hello, I have a existing EP3002 and for some time now the boiler doesn't always shutdown when it's timed to. As others have said, it’s an easy replacement for an existing Potterton programmer with no wiring or plumbing to worry about, providing your existing backplate is undamaged, which it most likely will be. If its set lower than the room temp actually is, then the boiler will not come on, or if its one like we had, it may need new batteries. And an easy DIY job - no plumbing or electrical expert required if you've already got a wired-in Potterton back-plate.

The only thing I found was that the back of the EP2 sticks out more than its predecessors and where I had wiring crossing the central vertical support of the backplate, I could not fully close the programmer onto the backplate.One note however, the EP2 face plate has a tiny screw on the lower edge that is screwed in from the underside to really lock the faceplate in position. Some mention that it is expensive and bulky, but it works as expected and is a great improvement over the original.

The Potterton EP2 Programmer can be used for replacing existing older Potterton EP2000, EP2002, EP3002, EP6002 Models using the existing backplates with no rewiring necessary providing the existing backplate is not daMaged and in good condition.We took off front cover of old one there was wiring underneath god we thought we would have to redo wiring but we didn’t the cover off new one just pushed in and straight away the boiler fired up. I have been using a Potterton EP6000 programmer for some 21 years for my CH system and replaced the 48volt relays when they slowly burnt out over the years, but now the membrane hardly works when pressing the buttons so purchased a new Potterton EP2.
