I have been waiting for ages for this thermostat thingy and now it's time to wire it up.

But before I do I just want to double check with you guys if I'm wiring it right.




I'm thinking.

1. Ground/negative out
2. Live/positive out
3. Ground/negative in
4. Live/positive in
5 and 6. Temperature sensor.

That makes more sense.

But why is 4 connected to 2 in the picture?

Oh unless "the load" is the thing I'm powering?

Thank you so much.

I really don't think I should be let loose with wires.

It works!
Thanks guys!

Hard to believe but I used to build computers for a job a lifetime ago, and rewired my house (ring circuit) then had an electrician check and sign it off. But I have never been good with wiring diagrams. Must be something to do with being dyslexic?
