    I purchased an Espar Hydronic SC with the Espar Easystart Timer.

    You'd think two different companies made them lol. I have the unit all installed but ran into some wire color confusion between the timer and the heater. I don't want to toast anything so I haven't finished up the timer connections.

    I have four wires coming from the heater going to the timer:
    Red/Yellow
    Yellow
    Brown
    Blue/White

    The Instructions from the heater say the wire colors should be:
    Red - "+" Batt power
    Yellow - Switch control to heater
    Brown - "-" Batt
    Blue - Diagnostic from heater
    All wires go directly to the timer.

    There are 10 wires on the timer, the instructions say to hook them up as follows:
    Red - to heater
    Brown - to heater
    Blue/White - to heater
    Grey/Black - to IGNITION
    None of the other wires are to be hooked to anything.

    Simple eh??

    I can figure the + and - for batt power but the other two wires are a bit of a mystery!!

    If anyone else has run into this, how did you hook them up??

    Thanks for the help

    I guess not many folks run the Espar heaters. I'll give the manufacture a call.
