Hi, this blog post will be a little different from my normal post as it will focus on the benefits of one product rather than a general topic but I feel this is such an important development that it is worthy of it’s own write-up.
So, what we have here we belive is a significant addition to an already great range that trumps all of the other controls manufacturers as it offers something that they don’t, at a price they cannot match with quality and support that can’t be beaten.
Catchy name it may not be but what it lacks in name it makes up in features –
- It is a 2 channel wireless Programmer with built-in thermostat.
Still not interested?
- This product replaces the need for separate hot water and heating time clocks/controllers/programmers with one WIRELESS programmer.
- This means less products to buy (they are all in one) AND less wiring to do (it is wireless and again all in one).

Hi.,
Interested in this timer…how much to supply & fit please…
I want it for a worcester Highflow 400 in garage…so I can operate from House.
Thanks
Hi, Thanks for the query. I will email you directly as we are a supplier only.
Hello,
Great work. Thanks to sharing the useful information for us. I like this post very much.
I have a TYBOX 827WRF, how do you reset the unit when the service date is due, does it require a service engineer?
Hi Gary,
I have added a link to the quick setup guide on this page for reference now.
Cheers,
Paul.
What are the 2 buttons for on a tybox 827 receiver unit, please? I know that the bottom one can be used to re-associate wireless connection, but I have a feeling that it has a secondary function similar to whatever the top button does. There’s nothing in either manual that I can see.
Cheers.
Hi Adrian,
This download might help –

First, thank you for replying on a bank holiday. Thanks, too, for the link. I had already downloaded the quick start guide from the top of the page, but there’s no mention of the buttons in it. So, if you could contact the rep I would be very grateful.
Adrian
Hi Adrian,
No problem, sorry I couldn’t get it sorted straight away 🙂
I emailed the local rep and have received the following:
“In this instance, the 2 buttons are manual overrides, in case something were to happen with the stat (e.g run out of batteries) then you would still be able to turn both your heating and hot water on and off.
This occurs when just tapping either button just once. You are indeed correct when holding the bottom button that is for associations, but should in the main be ignored.”
Hope this makes sense but let me know if it is not.
Paul

Many thanks for that. It’s good to know what those buttons do now, but it’s a little odd that they are not mentioned in any of the literature.
Cheers

We have a Delta Dor Radio Tybox and a spanner symbol has appeared but we can find no trace in the manual what rhis means. Can you help?
Hi Sally, this could be the boiler service indicator.
It is a setting that can be enabled and is not linked to the boiler but just based on a date entered in the clock or when the clock was first installed.
It appears a month before it thinks a service is due.
Don’t ignore it as when (in its settings) the service is overdue it does override the clock settings.
Changing it is fairly simple, just follow the instructions on page 3 (I think) of the instructions here –

Also linked on this page above.
If you have any problems, email info@gasboilerparts.co.uk with your contact details (Don’t post them here as this is public 🙂 ) and I can forward you question to the rep.
All the best, Paul
I am interested in the 827, but have concerns regarding my existing wired thermostat, and how to ‘wire it out’ of the controls system. My system is a standard Y plan, boiler, 3 port valve, cylinder, pump, and stats. Can anyone advise on the room stat wiring issue please.
Hi Vanessa, If you email your contact details to info@gasboilerparts.co.uk they can reply with the rep’s contact details for you to have a chat with.

Hi
Hopefully you can help.
I turned off the service timer once it had surpassed the count down and ever since I cannot get the temperature set properly. I know it reverts to default of around 16c.
My problem is that I am unsure of what temp to set it in the advance settings as when I set to around 18c the boiler does not fire up even when I programme it to come on via the timer and set at a higher temp. Also when I increase the temp via the advance setting lets say to 24C it wont switch off when I programme the timer and set to 22C. I have looked at the manuals available and they confuse me even more. I seem to have tried every which way but cannot seem to get it to work properly. I have looked at the manuals and I am sure I have followed the procedures they state but no such luck.
Thanks in advance for any help
Hi Lee,
I have emailed you our Delta Dore Rep’s details so he can talk through the query directly.
Cheers,
Paul.
Thank you Paul the matter has now been resolved by discussion with your Delta Dore rep.
Best regards
Thats good to hear. Thanks for letting me know.
Cheers,
Paul
Hi, I have exactly the same problem as Lee in so far as I reset the service timer but now the heating temp won’t set properly. Please can you help? Thanks, Richard
Hi Richard,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have forwarded your email to the Delta Dore rep to get in contact with you.
Cheers,
Paul
HI ,
I am unable to find out what the Spanner symbol on my screen means? Does anyone know what it is…
Vivienne
Hi Paul,
Sounds like I have a similar issue to one of the other readers.
I’ve had mine fitted for around 18 months and when it works, brilliant.
However, it tends to read the room temp at a higher rate than what it actually is.
The knock on effect is that when it is supposed to call for heat it doesn’t do it as it says the room temp is higher than what is being requested.
I measured the temp in a room using a thermometer last week and it said the room was 10 degrees. However the Tybox said it was 18 degrees.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Danny, that difference sounds too large. You can expect a few degrees for variances in thermometer calibration (both Delta Dore unit and additional device), effects of drafts (if any) etc. but 8 degrees seems way off.
I have emailed you the details of the local rep so you can ask him why there is such a difference.
Cheers,
Paul
YAY….I think. Time will tell.
Firstly, Paul, thank you for putting me in contact with the technical team.
The issue – my 827rf was reading the temperature in the room as being 18 degrees. However, a stand alone thermometer was telling me it was 12 degrees.
When the unit called for heat (set at 18 degrees) the tybox was already telling the receiver that it was 18 degrees and therefore no heat came on as it believed the room was hot enough already.
The solution – turn the dial to the spanner. Press and hold buttons 1 and 4 together until the menu is accessed. Select menu 2-01 and it will probably be flashing 0.0 degrees. Using the minus button adjust the variance between your room temp and that which your tybox believes it is, in my case -6 degrees.
The temp on the tybox now reads the same as the room temp and heat is called for at the right times/heat requirements.
Thank you again
Danny
