2.5	Mounting the Appliance	Fasten the boiler in place using the template and anchors supplied with the
		unit. It is highly recommended that a spirit level be used to position the boiler so
		that it is perfectly level.
		For additional information, please consult the instructions contained in the
		connection kit and the flue kit.
2.6	Electrical Connection	For safety purposes, have a competent person carefully check the electrical

system in the property, as the manufacturer will not be held liable for damage caused by the failure to earth the appliance properly or by anomalies in the supply of power. Make sure that the residential electrical system is adequate for the maximum power absorbed by the unit, which is indicated on the rating plate. In addition, check that the section of cabling is appropriate for the power absorbed by the boiler.

The boiler operates with alternating current, as indicated in the technical data table (1.2), where the maximum absorbed power is also indicated. Make sure that the connections for the neutral and live wires correspond to the indications in the diagram. The appliance electrical connections are situated on the reverse of the control panel (see the servicing manual for further information)

Fig. 2.3

Important!

2.7Gas Connection

In the event that the power supply cord must be changed, replace it with one with the same specifications. Make the connections to the terminal board located within the control panel, as follows:

-The yellow-green wire should be connected to the terminal marked with the earth symbol; make sure to re-use the ferrule mounted on the other supply cord;

-The blue wire should be connected to the terminal marked “N”;

-The brown wire should be connected to the terminal marked “L”.

Note: The diagrams for the electrical system are indicated in section 2.11.

Warning, this appliance must be earthed.

External wiring to the appliance must be carried out by a qualified technician and be in accordance with the current I.E.E. Regulations and applicable local regulations. The Genus range of boilers are supplied for connection to a 230 V~ 50 Hz supply.

The supply must be fused at 3 A.

The method of connection to the electricity supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation of the appliance, by the use of a fused double pole isolator having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles or alternatively, by means of a 3 A fused three pin plug and unswitched shuttered socket outlet both complying with BS 1363.

The point of connection to the Electricity supply must be readily accessible and adjacent to the appliance unless the appliance is installed in a bathroom when this must be sited outside the bathroom.

The local gas supplier contractor connects the gas meter to the service pipe.

If the gas supply for the boiler serves other appliances ensure that an adequate supply is available both to the boiler and the other appliances when they are in use at the same time.

Pipe work must be of an adequate size. Pipes of a smaller size than the boiler inlet connection should not be used.

Fitting the connection kit to the Genus 27 RFFI System only.

It will be noted that the kit has two connections not required for this boiler i.e. the domestic cold inlet “E” and the domestic hot water outlet “B” (see fig. 2.4).

Although the cold water main supply must be connected to the isolation valve for the purpose of operating the fillingloop, the isolation valve is NOT connected to the boiler and should be left in the OFF position.

The D.H.W. outlet is capped-off on the boiler, therefore not requiring the isolation valve to be used.

The Genus 27 RFFI System has 2 x 3/4" B.S.P. male threads for the cylinder flow and return. It is recommended that 2 x 22mm x 3/4" female iron fittings (not supplied) be used on these connections (using P.T.F.E. tape), before the boiler is mounted on the wall.

Central Heating

Detailed recommendations are given in BS 6798:1987 and BS 5449-1:1990, the following notes are given for general guidance.

Pipe Work:

Copper tubing to BS EN 1057:1996 is recommended for water pipes. Jointing should be either with capillary soldered or compression fittings.

Where possible pipes should have a gradient to ensure air is carried naturally to air release points and water flows naturally to drain taps.

The appliance has a built-in automatic air release valve, however it should be ensured as far as possible that the appliance heat exchanger is not a natural collecting point for air.

Except where providing useful heat, pipes should be insulated to prevent heat loss and avoid freezing.

Particular attention should be paid to pipes passing through ventilated spaces in roofs and under floors.

By-pass:

The appliance includes an automatic by-pass valve, which protects the main heat exchanger in case of reduced or interrupted water circulation through the heating system, due to the closing of thermostatic valves or cock-type valves within the system.

System Design:

This boiler is suitable only for sealed systems.

Drain Cocks:

These must be located in accessible positions to permit the draining of the whole system. The taps must be at least 15mm nominal size and manufactured in accordance with BS 2870:1980.

Safety Valve Discharge:

The discharge should terminate facing downwards on the exterior of the building in a position where discharging (possibly boiling water & steam) will not create danger or nuisance, but in an easily visible position, and not cause damage to electrical components and wiring.

The discharge must not be over an entrance or a window or any other type of public access.

2.9Flue Connections

Air Release Points:

These must be fitted at all high points where air naturally collects and must be sited to facilitate complete filling of the system.

The appliance has an integral sealed expansion vessel to accommodate the increase of water value when the system is heated.

It can accept up to 7 l (1.5 gal) of expansion water. If the heating circuit has an unusually high water content, calculate the total expansion and add an additional sealed expansion vessel with adequate capacity.

Mains Water Feed - Central Heating:

There must be no direct connection to the mains water supply even through a non-return valve, without the approval of the Local Water Authority.

Filling:

A temporary method for initially filling the system and replacing lost water during servicing and initial filling (in accordance with Water Supply Byelaw 14), is provided as an intergal part of the connection kit (see fig. 2.5). The flexible hose must be removed once the system has been filled. The D.H.W. inlet valve on the connection kit has two postions, one for winter and one for the summer. This enables the flow-rate through the appliance to be adjusted so that a sensible D.H.W. temperature may be achieved throughout the year.

Domestic Water

The domestic water must be in accordance with the relevant recommendation of BS 5546:1990. Copper tubing to BS EN 1057:1996 is recommended for water carrying pipe work and must be used for pipe work carrying drinking water.

Residual Head of the Boiler

27/30 kW

23 kW

Flue System

The provision for satisfactory flue termination must be made as described in BS 5440-1.

The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is exposed to outdoor air. The terminal must not discharge into another room or space such as an outhouse or lean-to.

It is important that the position of the terminal allows a free passage of air across it at all times.

The terminal should be located with due regard for the damage or discolouration that might occur on buildings in the vicinity.

In cold or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving the flue terminal.

The effect of such “steaming” must be considered.

If the terminal is less than 2 metres above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to which people have access, then a suitable terminal guard must be fitted. When ordering a terminal guard, quote the appliance model number.
