- Locate the existing tank cylinder thermostat for the hot water tank.
- If the same pocket as the cylinder stat is accessible, insert the tank temperature probe into this pocket.
- If it is not available, attach the tank temperature probe to the outside of the tank (under the insulation) using a thermal paste so it gets an accurate water temperature reading and has good adhesion.
- Break out the relevant section of a 1-gang pattress for the wiring, allowing for the temperature probe to exit the pattress box if applicable, and fix the pattress to the wall. It is recommended that a 40mm pattress is used.

- Wire in the Electric Switch as per the wiring diagrams provided, checking this is suitable as per the relevant installation manual, such as immersion heater.
