Turning FBH on

Hi all

Just a simple question

Can you fit a simple on/off switch to start the FBH ?

Don’t want a controller or timer

Just want to walk out to the car flick a switch and go back indoors for 20mins and then go out switch off and drive away

Also be able to switch in on during the summer to keep it working

If so how do you do it ?

Std fbh needs a can signal to start.


Oval timer is what I use, but you have to set the timer as it will not fire up with a simple press of the flame buton, so no good for random departure times.

The Altox controller comes with a push button option. Never fitted mine though, start it remotely by sending a text.

Not sure it works on D3.

simple to install- 3 wires (ground - plus - trigger signal from remote)

you better do it now - in a few weeks you will miss it if not installed

No
You need a Wbus controller which is about £40 from eBay Europe.

But for a tiny bit more you can add a remote and timer to it.
See below.

Seen this on eBay

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124117320536

Seller also does one which is just a switch and one with GSM link

Very good prices (if they work).

Any body heard of these or tried them ?

No need to make your own these days.

Haven’t tested them, worth a go though

excellent news.

They are the cost effective option for D3.
Who wouldn't want a warm heater for £60

Excellent.

I like it as it only 3 wire to connect (as mine’s older I think I have the red w-bus on the heater), and no tapping in to light wiring

Is it simply on off of does it have a timer to protect the battery

Looks like the guy might get a bit more business

Thanks for posting

Just on/off, no timer. Fourth output wire to activate a relay, LED, etc.

@ballast, do you mind me asking where you picked up the 12V supply? Mine has now arrived, and I'm getting everything ready to fit.
Ta.
