Hi all,
Thanks for having a look at my post and many thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

Called to a customers house to sort out an overflow issue - this has resulted in an extensive re-plumbing of a very bad job.... however the wiring is equally as terrible and needs redoing.

Only problem is that this is my first go on a non standard boiler and there's more cables than I'm used to.

The only information I have to go with is this page from a depleted user manual - can't seem to find much online about the Alpha 100:
View attachment 35846

At the Alpha wiring centre I have cables L,N,E,6,9,10,11.
Happy with the first 3, to junction box terminals 1-3.
6 is not required as controller is mains fed from junction?
9 ???? Is this used for a 3rd channel to control oven only??? - in which case I wouldn't need it as using a 2 channel programmer.
10 Valve switched live - happy with that going into junction box 10.
11 Pump live - again into junction box 10

I'm trying to merge the dated image above into a more standard:

All in all I'm a bit confused. Any help or up to date wiring diagrams would be much appreciated.
And would I be right in thinking Rayburn bought out Alpha and now offer tech support for this product/

Thanks for your time

The cooker has a high limit thermostat that cuts the power to the controls in the event of the high limit thermostat operating/opening that's why the controls are fed from terminal 6. 6 is power to controls via cooker internal high limit, 9 is from 1 channel on programmer for cooker, 10 switched live and 11 pump/pump over run.

Many thanks,
Wish I took photo of what I removed!! Lots of lives and greys badly squeezed into the same terminal!! Makes perfect sense. I expected 1 left over wire but not the 2 I had on paper.
Was that info just sitting there in your head or do you have a link to some diagrams please?
