Hi all, I'm new here and found the forum whilst researching the Evohome system.
I've recently bought a Evohome system with 17 HR92UK units, matching Valencia TRV bodies, and the hot water kit.
All the control side of stuff I've already installed including the wall mount kit for the touchscreen, and wiring in the two BDR91 for the heating and hot water zone valves (S-plan system).
So far all good. I've quite a few radiators without TRVs at all, and the ones that are there are looking a bit crusty so have decided to replace them all. I also have the matching lockshield valves but may keep the existing ones if they look ok to minimise disruption and potential for causing extra leaks (but probably lock them all open and use the internal balancing function in the Valencia TRV bodies).
4 of the rads are towel rads with the TRVs mounted horizontally, and after a bit of research I discovered there is a european version of the HR92 with the display reversed, which would be ideal.
The supplier would take 4 units back so that I can source the euro versions elsewhere, however I wondered if the LCD could be flipped? I see this question has been asked several times with the answer simply being no, but it does seem to me that the LCD panel could be reversed within the housing if it can be disassembled.
So the question is, has anyone disassembled the HR92 to the point where the LCD housing is separated, to see if the panel can be reversed 180 degrees? It looks like the LCD housing can be prised apart, but I don't want to break anything by forcing it if there is a special technique for disassembly.
I'm an electronics engineer and comfortable working down to component level, but breaking plastic is not what I want to do!
Yes the easy answer is to send them back and get 4 x euro versions, but the quicker method would be to reverse the LCD panel if possible!
