Open Therm connecting wires

Post by ROBX3 »

Hi,
I apologise if this has been asked before, but I cannot find any info regarding the pair of cables that connect the open therm device to the boiler - is there any specific type / size, do they just send a variable DC voltage or an actual signal and therefore have to be screened or not. I'm looking at installing a new system - mainly Honeywell products - and I am trying to get my head round all that needs to be done, but cannot find anything specific around these connecting cables.

Any advice appreciated.

i used 2 core 240v cable, stuff you use to wire a single light in a bedroom hanging from the ceiling, this'll be fine.

It's low voltage. Also note there is no 'right' way round on the wiring, it sorts itself out

Screened control cable is my recommendation as OpenTherm is a data cable...

The instructions for the Honeywell bridge seem to suggest 0.5mm-0.8mm.
