Fair point Andy. Actually come to think of it my previous Comby did have a clock mounted on the wall. Oh well!

Eleanor - think it's like I said, it probably can't be done to a built-in timer clock on a combi. When I had it done, the timer clock was fitted inside a kitchen cupboard, and the engineer just disconnected the old visual one, and connected up the one with Braille markings, it was just a case of wiring, no plumbing. I can't see how an integral timer could be replaced. Sometimes, we just have to have sighted help, that's part of our humility -Andy----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2010 4:54 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Central Heating TimerFollowing this thread I have a gas boiler and someone set the time on it for me but when the clock changes I am then one hour out. Now I am interested in the Braille timer but do not know how that would fit in with my system. How is it connected to it?Eleanor----- Original Message ----- From: "David Russell" <david.russell8@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2010 4:51 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Central Heating TimerI have one of these timers and have used it for around ten years.

No it isn't. The timer being talked about is purchased as a timer andthermostat in its own right. See below. John. Subject: [access-uk] Talking central heating controlerThis is for Jackie's benefit. It is not a talking device but it may wellfit the bill. Danfoss 4033 24-Hour Mechanical Programmer TIMED/OFF/ON (Constant) for heating and same for domestic hot water. Off and On override. this switch is available from danfoss randall ltd of bedford. they do a braille version which is very accessible. it has 2 switches, one switch for hot water, the other for the heating system. they areclearly brailled, one with h for heating, the other w for water. each switchhas 3 positions, off, on and timed. there is a rotary dial with dots around it, a little like a braille watch.there is a reference dot so you can use the rotary dial to enable you to setthe 24 hour clock. there are 4 colour coded tappets, 2 red 2 blue, one set for each function, namely heating and water. simply slide the tappets to the desired on/off times. the tappets are also marked with tactile markings, a series of different numbers of dots.I think you may have to specifically request a braille version of the timer. this switch is very well designed for a blind person to use. I would suggest giving this company a ring before purchasing, and asking them if it will work with your particular heating system. They have a wide range on offer, and do not forget to ask them if they can supply a Braille version if this is required. Details as follows. Danfoss Randall Ltd.
