INSTALLATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM
-Slowly fill the tank and drain it by turning on the hot water tap.
Drain all the taps and check that there are no leaks in the domestic
hot water system.
- Fill the whole system up to a minimum pressure of 1 bar
(preferably 1.5 bar), using the boiler’s fill valve. Fill the system
slowly and drain it using the central heating flow pipe manual air
vent
. Also check that the automatic air vent (AquaSpeed) on the
tank is working. Check that there are no leaks in the central
heating system.
-Turn on the gas tap, drain the pipe and check that there are no
leaks in the system.
- Check that the siphon is filled.
-Connect the plug to the wall socket and power on the appliance.
If need be, place the room thermostat to its highest position. The
boiler should start. Check the gas pressure and allow the boiler to
heat up for a few minutes. Set the boiler to High Power mode and
check the CO2 device
(see the technical data on page 6-7). Then, set
the boiler to Low Power mode and check the CO2 device again
(see technical data page 6-7).
-Set the central heating and hot water temperatures following the
values given in the Directions for Use.
-Drain the central heating system again and, if necessary, re-fill it.
- Make sure the central heating system is correctly balanced and,
if necessary, adjust the valves to prevent a greater or lesser flow
than planned to some circuits or radiators.
Checking the settings
- Check that the parameters are set in accordance with the user’s
needs: see page 3, Directions for Use.
- Check the boiler settings:this task can only be carried out by an
ACV-trained installer or by the ACV maintenance department.
Set the appliance to High Power mode by simultaneously
pressing the mode and Plus keys. Check the dynamic gas
pressure at the gas valve
(see diagram below, ref. 1). This must be at
least 18 mbars.
Wait a few minutes for the appliance to heat up to a minimum
temperature of 60°C.Check the CO2 setting using a measurement
instrument. Please see the technical data table on page 6-7 for
the optimum value. To increase the CO2 value, turn the venturi
screw anti-clockwise; turn it clockwise to reduce the value
(see
diagram below ref.2)
Then put the appliance to High Power mode by simultaneously
pressing the mode and Plus keys. Wait a few minutes for it to
stabilise.Check the CO2 value.It should be either equal to the full
power value or a maximum of 0.5% less than this value. If you
record a significant deviation,please contact the ACV maintenance
department.
Ref.3
The gas valve offset setting is a sealed factory setting.
In principle, it may not be modified.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
ACV recommends that you have your boilers
inspected and cleaned if need be at least once a
year.
Plug out the appliance before undertaking any work, even if only
recording measurements and adjusting the settings.
- Check that the siphon is not fouled, fill it, if need be, and check
that there are no leaks.
- Check that the safety valves are operating correctly.
-Drain the whole system and if necessary re-fill the appliance to a
pressure of 1.5 bar.
- Check the boiler charge in High Power mode.If there is a big difference between this value and the original setting, the deviation
could mean a blockage in the air intake pipes or flue gas extraction pipes, or that the exchanger has become fouled with an
accumulation of dirt.
- AquaSpeed:Check the domestic hot water flow and the temperature. These values could indicate a poorly regulated flow limiter
(new setting) or, in areas where the water is very hard, gradual
scale formation in the exchanger. To clean the AquaSpeed minitank with chemicals, you can connect the descaling pump directly to the hot and cold water connection.Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for using the descaler and the descaling product or
contact your ACV distributor for more information.

Cleaning the exchanger
-Dismantle the burner following the instructions on page 21
- Remove the boiler insulation.
- Clean the chamber using an aspirator.
-Dismantle the connection from the chimney to the exchanger.
- Check that the condensation tank is not fouled and clean it if need
be.
- Check the burner insulation and seal.Replace them if necessary.
- Check the electrode and replace if necessary.
- Assemble the burner and check that there are no leaks.
-Power on the appliance. Put the appliance to High Power mode
and make sure there are no leaks.
- Check the gas pressure and the CO2 setting following the instructions in the preceding section.
