Electric heater cable with 5 ends, blue, brown, earth, black and grey?

[barcaloco]

A guy at work shown me a length of cable with a plug with 5 ports (to connect to heater) and 5 wires on the other end. Apparently the heater has a stat on it.

Just wondered if any you gents knew what happens with the black and grey wires?? Thanks again.

I thought you said in your other thread that this wasn't something you were going to tackle yourself

I thought that but where would you connect them, he was thinking it might be possible connect them into his switch alongside the live and neutral?

Have you tried putting the model of heater into a Internet search engine to look for a instruction manual, or even tried using a 19th century invention called the telephone and called then manufacturer direct and asked them?

There should be a button with 'made me fooking laugh' on it. Spat my beer out!

 

[barcaloco]

I don't know the model, he just had a lead with the 5 wires on the end, it's just annoying that i don't know it works or how thermostats are connected up

In which case mate, you or your mate need your heads examined, IF you are planning to try to connect it to 230v without the manufacturers instructions.......
