We have had an electrition through our housing association but he is not familiar with this model. We have two sets of electrical switches and one one the wall in the hall which is presumably the pilot wire switch. I am sick of being cold and nobody seems to know what to do !!!
If you have 2 thermostats it is called a 2 zone system. I can help you but it may take a few messages back and forth.
Reply to this message with the (3) Temperatures i/e T1=__, T2=__, T3=__. I will get back to you w/ the next step.

Depends on whether you want the pilot to glow when the circuit is live (the main light is on) or to glow when the circuit is off. (The switch can be used either way, and I have used this switch in both configurations at different places.)
The wiring diagram is on the inside of the box.
In indicates that if you want the pilot light to glow when the circuit is off, then you only need two wires (the live and the return, usually colored black and white, respectively). However, you also need a ground. The instructions say that you need the ground for safety (and probably legal code) reasons, but I suspect that, without the ground, the pilot light won't work in this configuration.
However, if you want the pilot light to glow when the circuit is on, you probably need a three wire configuration (plus the ground).
Hope this helps.

You cannot replace the switch with a switch/receptacle combo because there is no neutral wire. The black and white that you see are both used as hot wires. One is the Line and the other is the Load.
You have to install another 2 wire cable or replace the existing with a 3-wire cable. A 3-wire cable has a black, red, and white, plus the bare ground wire
