About this deal

Eventually I realised that the internal battery, which is non-replaceable, must be dead, because it was supposed to be able to keep its programming during power cuts. I imagine the battery is there to keep the timer settings in the event of the power cut, but once the battery is done, that's it - the H27XL is dead. The HORSTMANN (SECURE) CHANNELPLUS H27XL PROGRAMMER - Now Use 4210051 is a genuine, brand new Horstmann Controls product, covered by a Horstmann Controls manufacturer's guarantee. The programmer, otherwise known as the timeclock, timer or clock is a device that enables you to control when the hot water and heating is switched on to maximise home comfort.

I got this as a replacement for an identical controller, due to the battery having run out on the previous unit. So, like others, at Horstmann we have addressed perceived shortcomings of older controls by introducing larger, more easily read screen displays, presenting . The ChannelPlus H27XL timeswitch has a boost function for 1 or 2 hour boosts as well as an advance button to move onto the next stage in the programme. Delivered as a direct replacement for a failed unit that had done marathon service, on fitting it was discovered one of the little clips for the front was broken and the unit doesn't light up when you press a button making programming difficult.In addition to controlling a heating system, the timeswitch can be used for the timed control of a security lighting system due to its 3-amp contacts. Throughout the years Horstmann have pioneered many innovative products for central heating and hot water control, including the UK’s first purpose designed central heating programmers (Potterton 411), the first time clock with a standardised, universally interchangeable back plate, and the UK’s first three channel programmer, followed later by a four channel programmer. We inherited an older one of the same model which I found very difficult to use: the buttons took a very long time to react, and every time there was a tiny power cut or surge the device would lose the programming which had taken me ages to enter. As a local supplier, PHC are proud to support Horstmann by distributing the entire range of Horstmann products.

li>Advance and override functions: Easily adjust your heating without affecting the programmed settings. li>Compatible with Horstmann ChannelPlus H27XL series: Ensures perfect integration with your existing heating system. Just be aware that the contacts between the backplate and the programmer are very tight as supplied and it takes a forceful tug to get the unit off again once fitted (which is what stumped the builders! The C1727 also includes many of the latest Boiler Plus energy-saving features such as optimum start and stop per heating zone, as well as on-off load compensation.Registered address: National Shower Spares Ltd, Units 16-17 Bamel Way, Gloucester Business Park, Brockworth, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL3 4BH. This product has now been replaced by the: Horstmann (Secure) 2 Channel Receiver Smart Programmable Thermostat (C1727).

Hi I have a Horstmann channel plus XL ModelH27 that has failed, will this model be a direct replacement and not need any electrical alterations to the back plate.I currently have a Horstmann H27XL programmer, as shown in the attached photo, a Bermuda Baxi boiler and a hot water cylinder which is in a cupboard upstairs.

One thing to watch is if you turn off the mains electric switch on the wall, say over the summer, the controller's battery is used more keeping its time setting, and eventually shortens the life of the battery. Second generation programmers that offer up to 4 independent channels and feature improved display and easier programming. The new timer works perfectly well, but I know I will be facing the flat battery issue again in 7 years or so. Established in 1854 as a manufacturer of clocks, today Horstmann are a leading manufacturer of heating and hot water controls based in Bristol. Part of a range of electronic programmers that offer up to four independent channels and feature a large, easy to read display and simple menu-driven programming.The wireless CentaurPlus C17 ZW operates with the latest Horstmann HRT4-ZW wireless room thermostat and together, the two offer a highly efficient controls package ideally suited to combi boiler installations. I need to replace a Horstmann Channel Plus H21XL 2 Channel Programmer, but I believe they are now discontinued. The single, two and four channel versions are voltage free as standard and use the same backplate as Horstmann's 425 and 5 Series programmers.
