SECTION 1 DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE

Fig. 2

1.1 PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS● A fully integrated electronic control board fea-

turing electronic temperature control, anti-cy-cle control, pump over-run, LED fault indicator,full gas modulation.

● Low-water-content, copper heat exchanger.● Electronic ignition with flame supervision.● Integral high-head pump.● Fan.● Air pressure switch.● Expansion vessel.● Water pressure switch.● Two-stage gas valve.● Pressure gauge.● Safety valve.● Condense switch.

1.2 MODE OF OPERATION (at rest)When the appliance is at rest and there are norequests for heating or DHW, the following func-tions are active:● Frost-protection system - the frost-protection

system protects the appliance against the riskof frost damage. Should the temperature of theappliance fall to 5 °C, the boiler will function inthe heating mode at minimum power until itreaches 35 °C.

● Anti-block function - the anti-block functionenables the pump and divertor valve actuator,to be energised for short periods, when theappliance has been inactive for more than 19-hours.

1.3 MODE OF OPERATION (Heating)When there is a request for heat via the time clockand/or any external control, the pump and fan arestarted, the fan will then prove the air pressureswitch. At this point an ignition sequence isenabled.

Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry toensure flame stability at the burner. Once suc-cessful ignition has been achieved, the electroniccircuitry increases the gas rate to 75% for aperiod of 15 minutes. Thereafter, the boiler’soutput will either be increase to maximum ormodulate to suit the set requirement.

When the appliance reaches the desired tem-perature the burner will shut down and the boilerwill perform a three-minute anti-cycle (timer de-lay).

When the request for heat has been satisfied theappliance pump and fan may continue to operateto dissipate any residual heat within the appli-ance.

1.4 MODE OF OPERATION (DHW)When there is a request for DHW via a hot wateroutlet or tap, the pump and fan are started, the fanwill then prove the air pressure switch. At thispoint an ignition sequence is enabled.

Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry toensure flame stability at the burner. Once suc-cessful ignition has been achieved, the electroniccircuitry increases the gas rate to maximum orwill modulate output to stabilise the temperature.

In the event of the appliance exceeding thedesired temperature the burner will shut downuntil the temperature drops.

When the request for DHW has been satisfied theappliance pump and fan may continue to operateto dissipate any residual heat within the appli-ance.

1.5 SAFETY DEVICESWhen the appliance is in use, safe operation isensured by:● A water pressure switch that monitors system

water pressure and will de-activate the pump,fan and burner should the system water pres-sure drop below the rated tolerance.

● A high limit thermostat that over-rides the tem-perature control circuit to prevent or interruptthe operation of the burner.

● An air pressure switch that requires the fan toprove operation before the gas valve is ener-gised.

● A pressure switch that interrupts the operationof the appliance if the condense pipe becomesblocked.

● A safety valve which releases excess pressurefrom the primary circuit.CH

Fig. 5a

3.6.7 LOW PRESSURE SEALED SYSTEMAn alternative method of filling the system wouldbe from an independent make-up vessel or tankmounted in a position at least 1 metre above thehighest point in the system and at least 5 metresabove the boiler (see fig. 5a).The cold feed from the make-up vessel or tankmust be fitted with an approved non-return valveand stopcock for isolation purposes. The feedpipe should be connected to the return pipe asclose to the boiler as possible.

3.6.8 FREQUENT FILLINGFrequent filling or venting of the system may beindicative of a leak. Care should be taken duringthe installation of the appliance to ensure allaspects of the system are capable of withstand-ing pressures up to at least 3 bar.

3.7 ELECTRICAL SUPPLYThe appliance is supplied for operation on 230V@ 50Hz electrical supply; it must be protectedwith a 3-amp fuse. The method of connection tothe mains electricity supply must allow for com-plete isolation from the supply. The preferredmethod is by using a double-pole switch with acontact separation of at least 3mm. The switchmust only supply the appliance and its corre-sponding controls, i.e. time clock, room thermo-stat, etc. Alternatively an un-switched shutteredsocket with a fused 3-pin plug both complyingwith BS 1363 is acceptable.

3.8 SHOWERSIf the appliance is intended for use with a shower,the shower must be thermostatically controlledand be suitable for use with a combination boiler.

3.6.1 PIPEWORKIt is recommended that copper tubing to BS 2871Part 1 is used in conjunction with soldered capil-lary joints.Where possible pipes should have a gradient toensure air is carried naturally to air release pointsand that water flows naturally to drain cocks.Except where providing useful heat, pipes shouldbe insulated to avoid heat loss and in particular toavoid the possibility of freezing. Particular atten-tion should be paid to pipes passing throughventilated areas such as under floors, loft space,and void areas.

3.6.2 AUTOMATIC BY-PASSThe appliance has a built-in automatic by-pass.However it may be necessary to fit an externalbypass should the design of the heating systemrequire such. In any case, the design of thesystem should be such that it prevents boiler‘cycling’.

3.6.3 DRAIN COCKSThese must be located in accessible positions tofacilitate draining of the appliance and all waterpipes connected to the appliance. The draincocks must be manufactured in accordance withBS 2879.

3.6.4 AIR RELEASE POINTSThese must be positioned at the highest points inthe system where air is likely to be trapped. Theyshould be used to expel trapped air and allowcomplete filling of the system.

3.6.5 EXPANSION VESSELThe appliance has an integral expansion vesselto accommodate the increased volume of waterwhen the system is heated. It can accept up to 8litres (25kW) or 10 litres (29 & 35kW) of expan-sion from within the system, generally this issufficient, however if the system has an unusu-ally high water content, it may be necessary toprovide additional expansion capacity (see 6.19).

3.6.6 FILLING POINTAn approved method for initial filling of the systemand replacing water lost during servicing etc. isrequired (see fig. 5). This method of filling mustcomply with the current Water Supply (WaterFittings) Regulations 1999 and Water Bylaws2000 (Scotland).

Theguard must be fitted centrally over the terminal.Refer to I.S. 813, when the terminal is 0.5 metres(or less) below plastic guttering or 1 metre (orless) below painted eaves.

3A.5 AIR SUPPLYThe following notes are intended for generalguidance only. This appliance is a room-sealed,fan-flued boiler, consequently it does not requirea permanent air vent for combustion air supply.When installed in a cupboard or compartment,ventilation for cooling purposes is also not re-quired.

3A.6 WATER CIRCULATIONSpecific recommendations are given in I.S. 813.The following notes are for general guidance only.

3A.6.1 PIPEWORKIt is recommended that copper tubing be used inconjunction with soldered capillary joints.Where possible pipes should have a gradient toensure air is carried naturally to air release pointsand that water flows naturally to drain cocks.Except where providing useful heat, pipes shouldbe insulated to avoid heat loss and in particular toavoid the possibility of freezing. Particular atten-tion should be paid to pipes passing throughventilated areas such as under floors, loft space,and void areas.

3A.6.2 AUTOMATIC BY-PASSThe appliance has a built-in automatic by-pass.However it may be necessary to fit an externalbypass should the design of the heating systemrequire such. In any case, the design of thesystem should be such that it prevents boiler‘cycling’.

3A.6.3 DRAIN COCKSThese must be located in accessible positions tofacilitate draining of the appliance and all waterpipes connected to the appliance.

3A.6.4 AIR RELEASE POINTSThese must be positioned at the highest points inthe system where air is likely to be trapped. Theyshould be used to expel trapped air and allowcomplete filling of the system.

3A.6.5 EXPANSION VESSELThe appliance has an integral expansion vesselto accommodate the increased volume of water

9

when the system is heated. It can accept up to 8litres (25kW) or 10 litres (29 & 35kW) of expan-sion from within the system, generally this issufficient, however if the system has an unusu-ally high water content, it may be necessary toprovide additional expansion capacity (see 6.19).

3A.6.6 FILLING POINTA suitable method for initial filling of the systemand replacing water lost during servicing etc. isrequired (see fig. 5). You should ensure thismethod of filling complies with the local waterauthority regulations.

3A.6.7 LOW PRESSURE SEALED SYSTEMAn alternative method of filling the system wouldbe from an independent make-up vessel or tankmounted in a position at least 1 metre above thehighest point in the system and at least 5 metresabove the boiler (see fig. 5A).The cold feed from the make-up vessel or tankmust be fitted with an approved non-return valveand stopcock for isolation purposes. The feedpipe should be connected to the return pipe asclose to the boiler as possible.

3A.6.8 FREQUENT FILLINGFrequent filling or venting of the system may beindicative of a leak. Care should be taken duringthe installation of the appliance to ensure allaspects of the system are capable of withstand-ing pressures up to at least 3 bar.

3A.7 ELECTRICAL SUPPLYThe appliance is supplied for operation on 230V@ 50Hz electrical supply; it must be protectedwith a 3-amp fuse. The method of connection tothe mains electricity supply must allow for com-plete isolation from the supply. The preferredmethod is by using a double-pole switch with acontact separation of at least 3mm. The switchmust only supply the appliance and its corre-sponding controls, i.e. time clock, room thermo-stat, etc.

3A.8 SHOWERSIf the appliance is intended for use with a shower,the shower must be thermostatically controlledand be suitable for use with a combination boiler.

3A.9 MOUNTING ON A COMBUSTIBLE SURFACEIf the appliance is to be fitted on a wall ofcombustible material, a sheet of fireproof mate-rial must protect the wall.

3A.10 TIMBER FRAMED BUILDINGSIf the appliance is to be fitted in a timber framedbuilding, it should be fitted in accordance with I.S.813 and local Building Regulations.The Institute of Gas Engineers publication (IGE/UP/7) ‘Guide for Gas Installations in TimberFrame Buildings’ gives specific advice on thistype of installation.

3A.11 INHIBITORSVokera recommend that an inhibitor - suitable foruse with copper and aluminium heat exchangers- is used to protect the boiler and system from the

effects of corrosion and/or electrolytic action.The inhibitor must be administered in strict ac-cordance with the manufacturers’ instructions*.*Water treatment of the complete heating system- including the boiler - should be carried out inaccordance with I.S. 813 and the Domestic Wa-ter Treatment Association’s (DWTA) code ofpractice.

3A.12 DECLARATION OF CONFORMITYA Declaration of Conformity (as defined in I.S.813) must be provided on completion of the in-stallation.A copy of the declaration must be given to theresponsible person and also to the gas supplier ifrequired.

4.5.3 TWIN FLUE SYSTEMThe Vokera twin flue system enables greater fluedistances to be achieved (see 4.4.2) than that ofa concentric flue system. It can be used forhorizontal or vertical applications, however thetwin flue system must be converted to the dedi-cated concentric flue kit for termination. It isessential that the installation of the twin fluesystem be carried out in strict accordance withthese instructions.

GUIDANCE NOTES ON TWIN FLUE INSTAL-LATION● The flue must have a fall back of 1º back to the

appliance to allow any condensate that may formin the flue system to drain via the condensatedrain. Consideration must also be given to thefact that there is the possibility of a small amountof condensate dripping from the terminal.

● Ensure that the entire flue system is adequatelysupported, use at least one bracket for eachextension.

● The entire flue system must be adequatelyinsulated to maintain heat within the flue sys-tem thereby reducing the possibility of conden-sate production.

● As the exhaust outlet pipe can reach very hightemperatures it must be protected to preventpersons touching the hot surface.

● The condensate drainpipe must be connectedin accordance with local building regulationsthat are in force.

MOUNTING THE BOILERThe fixing holes for the wall-mounting bracketshould now be drilled and plugged, an appropri-ate type and quantity of fixing should be used toensure that the bracket is mounted securely.Once the bracket has been secured to the wall,mount the appliance onto the bracket.

7.1 CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERATIONWhen carrying out any repairs or servicing to theappliance, the relevant commissioning proce-dure must be undertaken to ensure the continuedsafe operation of the appliance. Particular atten-tion should be made to ensure gas soundness,water soundness and the electrical integrity of theappliance.

7.2 APPLIANCE MODE OF OPERATIONNOTEThere must be sufficient system water pressure(min. 0.5 bar) to ensure the water pressure switchis activated. If there is insufficient system pres-sure the pump and fan will be prevented fromoperating.

7.2.1 SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITIONWhen the selector switch is in the OFF position,the Green LED status indicator will flash every 6-seconds to confirm the appliance is in standbymode. The divertor valve is in the DHW position.The appliance will not respond to any DHW orheating requests.

Active functions:●●●●● frost-protection system●●●●● pump anti-block●●●●● valve actuator anti-block● fan over-run.

7.2.2 SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE HOT WATERONLY POSITIONWhen the selector switch is in the HW onlyposition, the Green LED is illuminated:●●●●● flashing every 6-seconds if no DHW request is

active●●●●● constant during a DHW request.

The divertor valve is in the DHW position. Theappliance will respond to any DHW requests.

Active functions:●●●●● frost-protection system●●●●● pump anti-block●●●●● valve actuator anti-block●●●●● fan over-run.

7.2.3 SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE HEATING & HOTWATER POSITIONWhen the selector switch is in the heating & HWposition, the Green LED is illuminated:

SECTION 7 CHECKS, ADJUSTMENTS AND FAULT FINDING

●●●●● flashing every 6-seconds if no Heat or DHWrequest is active

●●●●● constant during a heat or DHW request.

The divertor valve remains in the DHW position ifno heat request is active. The appliance willrespond to any heating or DHW requests.

Active functions:●●●●● frost-protection system●●●●● pump anti-block●●●●● valve actuator anti-block●●●●● fan/pump over-run.

7.2.4 APPLIANCE FUNCTIONS●●●●● Frost-protection: this function is only active

when there are no requests for heating or HW.When the temperature of the primary thermis-tor drops below 5 °C, the valve actuator willmotor to the heating position, whereupon theboiler will operate on minimum power until thetemperature of the primary thermistor reaches35 °C. Thereafter the pump will over-run for 30-seconds.

●●●●● Anti-block cycle: when there has been noheating or HW request for 19-hours, the anti-block cycle is activated. The valve actuator willmotor from the DHW position to the heatingposition and then motor back to the DHWposition. Thereafter the pump will be activatedfor a period of 30-seconds.

●●●●● Fan over-run: should the temperature of theprimary thermistor exceed 78 °C after a heatingor DHW request, the pump and/or fan will runfor a period of 30-seconds.

●●●●● SARA function: the SARA function permitsthe boiler (when the set-point is within theSARA range) to automatically adjust (raise) theheating flow outlet temperature should the roomthermostat contacts remain closed for morethat 20-minutes.

7.2.5 DHW MODE fig. 37With the selector switch in the Heating & HWposition, or HW only position and a DHW outlet isopened, the appliance will operate in the HWmode. The valve actuator will motor to the HWposition (if a heating request was active) and thepump and fan will be active. The operation of thefan causes the air pressure switch to deliver a

Fig. 36

25

signal voltage to the control PCB. A slow ignitionsequence is enabled, whereby the current sup-plied to the gas valve modulating coil is progres-sively increased from minimum to maximum overa period of 8-seconds. During this period theignition electrode sparks continuously even if theburner has ignited.

NOTEIf the spark/sensing electrode does not senseignition the appliance will then go to lockout.Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry toensure flame stability at the burner. Once suc-cessful ignition has been achieved, the electroniccircuitry modulates the appliance output in orderto achieve the DHW set-point (the position of theDHW temperature selector) as measured at thesecondary thermistor.When the set-point has been reached, the appli-ance will begin the modulation phase wherebythe fan and gas valve will continuously modulateto maintain the set-point.If the temperature continues to rise and exceedsthe set-point by 5 °C, the burner will shut downuntil the temperature drops to set-point + 4 °C,whereby a new ignition sequence will be enabled.When the request for DHW has been satisfied, theappliance fan may continue to operate to dissipateany residual heat from within the appliance.

7.2.5.1 DHW PARAMETERS

7.2.6 HEATING MODE fig. 38With the selector switch in the Heating & HWposition and the relevant controls (time clock,room thermostat, etc,) are calling for heat, theappliance will operate in the heating mode. Thevalve actuator will motor to the heating positionand the pump and fan will be active. The opera-

tion of the fan causes the air pressure switch todeliver a signal voltage to the control PCB. A slowignition sequence is enabled, whereby the cur-rent supplied to the gas valve modulating coil isprogressively increased from minimum to maxi-mum over a period of 8-seconds. During thisperiod the ignition electrode sparks continuouslyeven if the burner has ignited.

NOTEIf the spark/sensing electrode does not senseignition the appliance will then go to lockout.Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry toensure flame stability at the burner. Once suc-cessful ignition has been achieved, the electroniccircuitry allows 75% of the full gas rate throughthe appliance. After 15 minutes the gas rate isincreased to maximum (100%).When the set-point has been reached (the posi-tion of the heating temperature selector) as meas-ured at the primary thermistor, the appliance willbegin the modulation phase whereby the fan andgas valve will continuously modulate to maintainthe set-point.If the temperature continues to rise and exceedsthe set-point by 6 °C, the burner will shut downand the boiler will perform a three-minute anti-cycle (timer delay).A new ignition sequence will be enabled when the3-minute anti-cycle has been performed and thetemperature at the primary thermistor has dropped6 °C below the set-point.

NOTESThe timer delay can be de-activated by the inser-tion of a ‘jumper’ on the PCB at JP1 or by isolatingthe appliance from the electrical supply for 30seconds.Any DHW requests will always have priority overa heating request.When the request for heating has been satisfied,the appliance pump and fan may continue tocirculate to dissipate any residual heat within theappliance.

If adjustment is required, re-move the protective cap from the gas valvemodulating coil assembly and turn the outer(10mm) nut clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease the burner pressure.NOTEAlways check and/or adjust the minimum andmaximum gas pressures whilst the appliance is inthe HW only mode. Ensure a DHW outlet (pref-erably the bath) is fully open, and that the HWtemperature selector is at maximum.

7.3.2 SETTING THE MIMIMUM BURNER PRES-SURE fig. 39Once the maximum burner pressure has beenchecked and/or adjusted, remove one of the greywires from the modulating coil. Compare thereading on the manometer with the value de-scribed in 2.3. If adjustment is required, turn theinner (red) crosshead screw clockwise to in-crease, or counter-clockwise to decrease theburner pressure, whilst ensuring that the outer(10mm) nut does not move. When checking and/or adjustment has been completed, isolate theappliance from the electrical supply, replace theprotective cap, refit the grey wire to the modulat-ing coil, remove the manometer and tighten theoutlet test nipple.IMPORTANT, A GAS SOUNDNESS CHECKMUST BE CARRIED OUT.

7.3.3 SETTING THE MINIMUM CENTRAL HEATINGOUTPUTTHIS CAN ONLY BE CARRIED OUT AFTERTHE MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM GAS PRES-SURES HAVE BEEN SET.● Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply.● Attach a manometer to the gas valve outlet test

nipple.● Insert a jumper tag at JP2.● Switch the appliance ON in the heating mode.● Turn potentiometer P5 to the minimum position● Adjust potentiometer P4 to the required value

shown in section2.3 (section 10.2 for LPG), i.e.minimum burner pressure (central heating).

● Turn potentiometer P5 back to the maximumposition.

● Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply.● Remove the manometer, tighten the outlet test

nipple, and check for soundness.

7.4 COMBUSTION ANALYSIS TESTA combustion analysis check can easily be car-ried out on the appliance via the test pointslocated on the top of the appliance, however youmust check that the burner pressures are setcorrectly (see 7.3).● Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply

7.7.4 REVERSED POLARITY OR SUPPLY FAULTRepeat the above tests at the appliance isolator,if testing reveals correct polarity and/or supply atthe isolator, re-check wiring and connectionsbetween the isolator and the appliance.If tests on the isolator also reveal reversed polar-ity or a supply fault, consult the local electricitysupplier for advice.

7.7.5 RESISTANCE TO EARTH CHECKIsolate the appliance from the electrical supplyand using a suitable multi-meter carry out aresistance test. Connect test leads between theLive & Earth connections at the appliance termi-nal strip (fig.16). If the meter reads other thaninfinity there is a fault that must be isolated, carryout a detailed continuity check to identify thelocation of the fault.

IMPORTANTThese series of checks must be carried outbefore attempting any faultfinding procedures onthe appliance. On completion of any task thatrequired the disconnection and re-connection ofany electrical wiring or component, these checksmust be repeated.

7.8 FAULT FINDINGBefore attempting any faultfinding, the electricalchecks as detailed in 7.7 must be carried out.Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply.Disconnect any external controls such as roomthermostats etc. from the boiler.

7.8.1 REPLACING THE MAIN PCBWhen replacing the main PCB it’s essential thatthe potentiometers are set as follows:● It’s essential that the minimum - central heating

- gas pressure is checked/adjusted as de-scribed in 7.3.3

● P4 - to be used to set/adjust the minimumheating output

● P5 - set at maximum.

EFFECT OF JUMPER TAGS FITTED TO THEMAIN PCB AT:● JP1 - disables DHW function● JP2 - cancels anti-cycle function and initial

heating output (75% of maximum at start up)● JP3 - for LPG boilers only● JP4 - enables DHW temperature stabiliser

function (boiler modulates at set point andremains on minimum power, even if the setpoint is exceeded).

NOTEIf the Vokera remote-control (RC05) is connectedto the appliance, it should be disconnected duringany faultfinding checks.Restore the electrical supply to the boiler and turnthe selector switch to the on position. The boilershould now function as described in section 7.2.Should the boiler fail to respond, the internalfuses and connectors should be checked toensure integrity and continuity. If the boiler stillfails to respond, refer to the detailed faultfindingflowcharts overleaf.

SECTION 8 WIRING DIAGRAMS

8.1 EXTERNAL WIRINGThe appliance comes with a factory fitted clock toallow basic operation of the boiler (fig. 43). Ifexternal controls are to be added to the system,they must be connected to the appliance asshown in the following diagrams. For advice oncontrols that are not featured in this book, pleasecontact Vokera technical on 0870 333 0520.

8.2 TYPICAL CONTROL APPLICATIONSThe appliance can be used with the followingcontrols:● Vokera RC05 remote control (part no. 405) and

Compact interface (part no. 409)● Vokera external sensor (must be used in con-

junction with the RC05), (part no. 2359259)● external single-channel, voltage-free time clocks● programmable room thermostats.

In addition, the appliance can be used in conjunc-tion with a typical ‘S’-Plan system, please contactVokera technical for further detailed instruction.

NOTEThis appliance is not suitable for use with ‘Y’-Plansystems.

Fig. 43

Fig. 44

8.3 VOKERA REMOTE CONTROLThe RC05 remote control must be connected tothe appliance as shown in fig. 44. The RC05 canbe used in 3-modes:● Boiler only control, whereby the RC05 con-

trols only the functions of the appliance (Heat-ing & DHW temperature, reset function, faultcode display, etc).

● Boiler control with room thermostat func-tion, whereby the RC05 controls the functionsof the appliance (Heating & DHW temperature,reset function, fault code display, etc) and alsofunctions as a room thermostat.

● Boiler control with programmable roomthermostat, whereby the RC05 controls thefunctions of the appliance (Heating & DHWtemperature, reset function, fault code display,etc) and also functions as a programmableroom thermostat.

NOTEIf the RC05 is used in the “boiler only” mode, anadditional control (such as the integral clock) willbe required to switch the heating terminals.Full details of the operation of the RC05 and itsfunctions can be found in the installations andusers instructions of the RC05.

8.4 ROOM THERMOSTATShould a room thermostat be required, it must beof the ‘voltage-free’ type, and should be con-nected to the appliance as shown in fig. 45.

8.5 OTHER CONTROLSContact the controls manufacturer and/or Vokeratechnical department should you require morespecific information on the suitability of a particu-lar control.Further guidance on the recommended practicefor the installation of external controls, can befound in CHeSS - HC5/HC6 (www.energy-efficiency.gov.uk).

SECTION 10 L.P.G. INSTRUCTIONS

10.3 CONVERTING THE APPLIANCE GAS TYPETo convert the appliance to another gas type it isnecessary to change the burner injectors andadjust the gas pressures. It is also necessary toensure the jumper tag at JP3 is enabled ordisabled according to the gas type used.● To change the injectors see section 6.● For correct jumper tag configuration see 7.8.

10.4 GAS SUPPLYThe gas supply must be connected to the appli-ance by a competent LPG installer and must beof sufficient size to supply the appliance at itsmaximum output.An existing supply must be checked to ensurethat it is of adequate size to deal with the maxi-mum rated input of this and any other appliancesthat it serves.

10.5 GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATIONThe entire installation including the meter mustbe purged and checked for gas soundness.

10.6 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING BURNER PRES-SURE (see fig. 26)Isolate the appliance from the electrical supplyand attach a suitable manometer to the gas valveoutlet test point.

10.6.1 SETTING THE MAXIMUM BURNER PRES-SURE fig. 40Light the boiler as described in 5.7, fully open aDHW outlet (preferably the bath) and ensure theHW temperature selector is set at maximum.Allow the appliance to stabilise.Compare the reading on the manometer with thevalue described in 10.2. If adjustment is required,remove the protective cap from the gas valvemodulating coil assembly and turn the outer(10mm) nut clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease the burner pressure

10.6.2 SETTING THE MINIMUM BURNER PRESSUREfig. 39Once the maximum burner pressure has beenchecked and/or adjusted, remove one of the greywires from the modulating coil. Compare thereading on the manometer with the value de-scribed in 10.2.If adjustment is required, turn the inner (red)crosshead screw clockwise to increase, or coun-ter-clockwise to decrease the burner pressure,whilst ensuring that the outer (10mm) nut doesnot move. When checking and/or adjustmentand/or adjustment has been completed, isolatethe appliance from the electrical supply, close theDHW outlet, replace the protective cap, refit thegrey wire to the modulating coil, remove themanometer, and tighten the outlet test point.

IMPORTANT, A GAS SOUNDNESS CHECKMUST BE CARRIED OUT.
