Evohome, binding three BDR91s

[John Cooper]

I have a boiler with two heating circuits, one for heating and one for hot water, both pumped.

When I installed the DHW it prompted me to bind the tank sensor, then the relay which I have connected to the HW pump, and the boiler relay.

When the tank sensor calls for heat the boiler fires and the HW pump runs.

I have bound the radiators HR92s but I don't see where I can bind the relay for the heating pump. I think the boiler relay closes when they call for heat.

Have I missed a stage where I should have told the controller that there is a pump/valve for both DHW and CH?

The installation started out as an Evohomeshop "Honeywell evohome Wi-Fi Connected Value Pack A Item Number 75" which is a Connected Thermostat Pack plus a Hot Water Kit and 8 rad stats, I purchased the third relay separately.

Thank you for any help

Hi John,

Give me a call in the morning from 8:30am and I will go through this with you.

Kind regards,

Richard

Hi John - it's a bit unintuitive - go to the installer settings menu, then system devices, then stored hot water. Go through the process there and instead of "Hot water only" pick "2/3 way valve" instead. This will prompt you to bind the sensor, hot water BDR91, and heating valve. It sounds like you've already bound your boiler relay.

I am afraid a three relay system is not possible. The pump should be connected to the boiler relay or if you have an s plan it should be connected to the heating relay. Have a look at the example system schematics in the appendix of the installation guide

Oh yes you can. Thanks to Richard of EVOHOME Shop for explaining it, and to Fursty Ferret. I am now firing on all cylinders.

The Stored Hot Water setup covers the CH and HW valves or pumps, the boiler is bound separately.

The trouble is my configuration is not S plan or Y plan or Z plan, but three discrete items. There is no example in the appendix to cover it.

Incorrect Wireless binding between wireless devices.
Binding (the partnership signal between wireless devices)
is an essential part of any wireless system. Faults are
often rectified by investigating
how these bindings are set up
in the system you are installing.
1. Double binding of the boiler
wireless relay (receiver) or
the relay used to switch the
zone valve in a sundial application.
This most commonly results in red lights on the relays
and communications errors on the evohome controller
screen. Please refer to the installation guide to ensure
that you have the correct bindings set up. If in doubt
please follow the guided configuration screen and
select Stored Hot Water Configuration and rebind the
heating and hot water relays.
2. Binding a boiler relay along with both sundial relays.
These cannot exist in the same evohome system and
will result in random boiler firing. Figure 4 on page 83
of the installation guide refers. If the system has been
configured with both hot water and heating relays and
a boiler relay, the boiler relay can be deleted from the
System Parameters menu.
