Drayton LP241 Thermostat Details

The Drayton LP241 is sold under the thermostat label, but it is a 24-hour dual-channel programmer from the Lifestyle range. It switches central heating and domestic hot water at the times you set. Each channel runs on its own schedule, so you can heat the water in the morning without running the radiators. Drayton recommends it for fully pumped systems where independent timing gives more room to save energy. A red light on the front shows when each channel is on.

Out of the box, the LP241 runs a factory standard program with both channels on the same times every day. ON1 is at 6.30am and OFF1 at 8.30am. ON2 and OFF2 are both set to 12.00pm, so the middle period does nothing until you change it. ON3 is at 4.30pm and OFF3 at 10.30pm. To go back to these settings at any time, press SET and + together.

To program it, open the bottom flap and use the SET?, YES/- and + buttons. Press SET? to see SET PROG?, then press YES to reach SET CH PROG?. Each tap of - or + changes the time by 1 minute, and holding a button moves it in 10-minute steps. After OFF3 for heating, the display asks SET HW PROG? so you can set the hot water times. To keep a time as it is, just press SET? to move on. If you press nothing for two minutes, the unit returns to normal operation.

Times must be entered in order: ON1, OFF1, ON2, OFF2, ON3, OFF3. If they get out of order, the display flashes a warning. ON1 cannot be the last time before midnight. OFF3 can be after midnight, as long as it is no more than 23 hours 59 minutes after ON1. This lets evening heating run past midnight without a separate period.

For temporary changes there are two Advance/Boost buttons on the front, one per channel. A short press on Advance (ADV shown) switches the channel on until the end of the next period, or off until the next ON time. Advance only works in TIMED or ONCE mode. Pressing and holding Boost (BST shown) adds one hour. Press it again for two or three hours, and once more to cancel.

The mode selectors beside the display have immediate effect and do not erase your saved times. ONCE runs a single period from ON1 to OFF3. A holiday switch-off turns the system off for 1 or more days. Press SET? three times, choose SET H'DAY?, and set the number of days with + and -. The unit counts each pass through midnight as one day. For example, leaving on Saturday morning and wanting heat on Tuesday morning means setting 3 days.

The clock is set at the factory and changes automatically for British Summer Time. You can still adjust the hour, minutes, year, month, day and daylight saving status from the SET CLOCK? and SET DATE? menus. The weekday is worked out from the date. For installation, set the rear link to P or G for the type of system. The unit fits many existing wall plates, and the surface cable entry strip snaps out. Never fit the unit to a live wall plate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Drayton LP241 Thermostat, and we answer them below.


Is the Drayton LP241 a thermostat or a programmer?
It is a 24-hour dual-channel programmer. It sets on and off times for central heating and hot water. Temperature is still controlled by your room thermostat and cylinder thermostat, and the heating will not run if those have switched off.

Can central heating and hot water run at different times?
Yes. After setting the central heating at SET CH PROG?, the display asks SET HW PROG?, where you can enter separate hot water times. This needs the rear link set to P (fully pumped). With G (gravity hot water), you cannot run the heating without the hot water.

How many heating periods can I set per day?
Up to three periods per channel: ON1/OFF1, ON2/OFF2 and ON3/OFF3. The same schedule repeats every day.

Why does the middle period not switch anything on?
In the factory program, ON2 and OFF2 are both set to 12.00pm, so that period does nothing. Change OFF2 to a later time to use it.

What is the difference between Advance and Boost?
Advance moves the channel on to the next programmed state, either on until the end of the next period or off until the next ON time. It only works in TIMED or ONCE mode. Boost adds 1, 2 or 3 hours of operation. Press it again to cancel.

Do I lose my settings during a power cut?
No. The display goes blank, but the time and program are always kept.

Do I need to change the clock for British Summer Time?
No. The clock is set at the factory and adjusts automatically. You can turn daylight saving (DLS) on or off in the date menu.

How do I restore the factory program?
Press SET and + together. This brings back the standard 6.30am to 8.30am and 4.30pm to 10.30pm schedule for both channels.

How does the holiday function count days?
Each pass through midnight counts as one day. Press SET? three times to reach SET H'DAY?, then set the number of days with + and -.

Can I install the LP241 myself?
No. Installation must be done by a qualified electrician or heating engineer. It needs fixed wiring and a 3A fused supply. Always switch off the mains before removing or fitting the unit.

Will it fit my existing wall plate?
Often yes. The LP241 uses the industry-standard wall plate with terminals N, L, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Check the terminal comparison chart in the installation instructions, and make sure there is 70 mm of clearance to the right and 25 mm above.
