NO.
The stat you have is electronic and needs a supply to work.
Change it for something like a Honeywell that does not need a supply and connect accross terminals 1 and 3.

If it has volt free contacts then why does the spec sheet say ac24-240v.
It does not mention volt-free. The battery is for the display I think. Question

if its not voltfree contacts, how come other stats (eg honeywell cm901) say they are volts free, then stat that switches 24 -240 v.

i have been to plumbing and heating shops with this rev100 and knowbody seams to have a clue about this stat, even the wiring diagram suplied lokks a little confusing

maybe its just me

Plastic casing with a large display which also serves as a touch screen. A hinged battery compartment cover facilitates the straightforward exchange of the two 1.5 V alkaline batteries type AA. The base can be removed and fitted to all commercially available recessed conduit boxes or directly on the wall, to be wired before the control- ler is fitted.The casing accommodates the electronics with a '& switch and a relay with a potential-free N.O. contact.[/url] The connection terminals are integrated in the base.
