1.3 CONNECTIONS
Gas connection:
e boiler is designed to operate with Natural
gas (Cat I2H 2H - G20 - supplied at 20 mbar)
or Propane gas (Cat I3P 3P - G31 - supplied
at 37 mbar). Supply pipes must be the same
as or larger than the 3/4" boiler tting. Before
connecting the gas line, carefully clean inside all
the supply pipes to remove any residue that could
impair boiler performance. Also make sure the
gas corresponds to that for which the boiler is
prepared (see boiler data-plate).
e gas supply pipe must be suitably dimensioned
according to current regulations in order to
guarantee correct gas ow to the burner even
in conditions of maximum boiler output and
to guarantee appliance efficiency (technical
specications).
Storage tanks (LPG):
- New LPG storage tanks may contain residual
inert gases (nitrogen) that degrade the mixture
delivered to the appliance causing functioning
anomalies.
- Due to the composition of the LPG mixture,
layering of the mixture components may occur
during the period of storage in the tanks. is
can cause a variation in the heating power of
the mixture delivered to the appliance, with
subsequent change in its performance.

e boiler can directly supply a low temperature
system by acting on parameter 'P66' (Service
Engineers Document - Programming the PCB)
and setting the ow temperature adjustment
range 'P66/A' and 'P66/B'. In this situation it is
good practice to insert a safety device in series
with the power supply and boiler. is device is
made up from a thermostat with a temperature
limit of 60°C. e thermostat must be positioned
on the system ow pipe at a distance of at least 2
metres from the boiler.
1.5 EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
OPTIONAL
e boiler is suitable for use with the external
sensor (Fig. 1-3), which is available as an optional
kit. The sensor can be connected directly to
the boiler electrical system and allows the
maximum ow temperature to be automatically
decrea sed whe n the exter nal temperature
increases, in order to adjust the heat supplied to
the system according to the change in external
temperature. e external sensor always operates
when connected, regardless of the presence or
type of room thermostat used and can work
in combination with Alpha programmable
thermostats. e correlation between system
ow temperature and external temperature is
determined by the parameters set in menu 'M5'
under 'P66' according to the curves represented
in the diagram (Fig. 1-4). e external sensor
must be connected to terminals 38 and 39 on
the boiler PCB, (Fig. 3-2).
