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 downward 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.
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 6 l (1.3 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 in accordance with Water Supply Byelaw 14 must be
provided.
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.

2.9 FLUE CONNECTIONS
FLUE SYSTEM
The provision for satisfactory flue ter mination 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 ter minal guard, quote the appliance model
number.
A suitable terminal guard is available from:

The components marked * in FIG 2.9 are present or absent
depending on the type of flue system used by the installer.
In addition, it is also possible to use a split (twin pipe)
system by fitting a special adaptor to the flue connector
and using the aperture for the air vent intake located on
the top part of the combustion chamber.
To utilise the air intake it is necessary to:
1. Remove the bottom of the air intake by cutting it with a
suitable knife (see
FIG.2.8);
2. Insert the elbow into the air intake until it reaches the
lower end.(There is no need to use gaskets or sealing
componds).

MTS (GB) Limited support the initiative.Within the information pack
you will find a copy of the logbook. It is important that this is
completed in the presence of your customer, they are shown how to us it,
and it is signed by them. Please instr uct your customer that they must have
their logbook with them whenever they contact a service engineer
or us.
Preliminary electrical system checks to ensure electrical safety must be
carried out by a competent person i.e. polarity, ear th continuity, resistance to
earth and short circuit.
FILLING THE HEATING SYSTEM:
Remove the panels of the case and lower the control panel (see section
3.3 for further information).
Open the central heating flow and return cocks supplied with the
connection kit.
Unscrew the cap on the automatic air release valve one full turn and leave
open permanently.
Close all air release valves on the central heating system.
Gradually open valve(s) at the filling point (filling-loop) connection to the
central heating system until water is heard to flow, do not open fully.
Open each air release tap starting with the lower point and close it only
when clear water, free of air, is visible.
Purge the air from the pump by unscrewing anticlockwise the pump
plug and also manually rotate the pump shaft in the direction
indicated by the pump label to ensure the pump is free.
Close the pump plug.
Continue filling the system until at least 1 bar registers on the pressure
gauge.
Inspect the system for water soundness and remedy any leaks
discovered.
FILLING OF THE D.H.W.SYSTEM:
Close all hot water draw-off taps.
Open the cold water inlet cock supplied with the connection kit.
Open slowly each draw-off tap and close it only when clear water, free of
bubbles, is visible
GAS SUPPLY:
Inspect the entire installation including the gas meter, test for soundness
and purge, all as described in BS 6891:1988.
Open the gas cock (supplied with the connection kit) to the appliance and
check the gas connector on the appliance for leaks.
When the installation and filling are completed turn on the central heating
system (section 3.4) and run it until the temperature has reached the boiler
operating temperature. The system must then be immediately flushed
through.
The flushing procedure must be in line with BS 7593:1992 code of practice
for treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating systems.
During this operation, we highly recommend the use of a central heating
flushing detergent (Fernox Superfloc or equivalent), whose function is to
dissolve any foreign matter that may be in the system.
Substances different from these could create serious problems to the
pump or other components.
The use of an inhibitor in the system such as Fernox MB-1 or equivalent is
strongly recommended to prevent corrosion (sludge) damaging the boiler
and system.
Failure to carry out this procedure may invalidate the appliance
warranty.
3. COMMISSIONING
3.1 INITIAL PREPARA TION
In order to access the inside of the boiler, it is necessary to unscrew
the fastening screws “A” of the control panel located on the lower part
of the panel itself.
The control panel moves downward and when pulled forward rotates
on two lateral hinges.
The panel stays in a semi-horizontal position, which allows access to
the inner parts of the boiler.
In order to increase the maneuvering space, it is possible to raise the
control panel and rotate it to a fully horizontal position.

3.4. INITIAL START-UP
(See section 3.2 for references) it is possible to:
- Set the temperature of the heating system by adjusting the knob “C”
- Set the temperature of the domestic hot water by turning knob “B”
- The selector knob “G” allows the user to choose the economy mode
(position “E”) or the comfort mode (position “C”).
The economy mode is the normal state for the operation of the boiler,
since the domestic water is heated up only when a tap is turned on.
The comfort mode is a special operating state, because the water
contained in the secondary exchanger and in the primary exchanger is
kept in a preheated condition, thereby allowing a quicker delivery of
domestic water when required. The latter is therefore the more
convenient choice.
To access the areas in which adjustments are made, it is necessary to open
the control panel, as indicated in section 3.3, then remove the rear
inspection cover by unscrewing the two screws. Access is thereby provided
to the P.C.B.and to the following components:
1. the power supply cable connector;
2. the fuses;
3. the soft-light potentiometer the setting for which can range from the
minimum thermal power to the maximum;
4. the maximum thermal heating power potentiometer adjustable by the
minimum to maximum power (already calibrated in the factory to 70% of
the maximum thermal power);
5. the potentiometer for adjusting the ignition delay (anti-cycling) feature,
which can be set from 0 to 2 minutes (set in the factory at one minute);
6. the time clock connector.
THE CHECKS TO BE RUN BEFORE INITIAL START-UP ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Make sure that:
- the screw on the automatic air valve has been loosened when the
system is full;
- If the water pressure in the system is below 1 bar, bring it up to the
appropriate level;
-Check to see whether the gas cock is closed;
- Make sure that the electrical connection has been made properly and
that the earth wire is connected to an efficient earthing system;
- Supply power to the boiler by turning the On/Off switch
“A” (see FIG.3.1)
- the L.E.D. “D” will illuminate - turn the selector knob “C” to the winter
/central heating position. This will start the circulation pump. After 7
seconds, the boiler will signal a shutdown due to ignition failure. Leave
the boiler as it is until all of the air has been bled from the lines.
-Loosen the cap on the head of the pump to eliminate any air pockets;
-Repeat the procedure for bleeding the radiators of air;
-Open the taps for a brief period;
- Check the system pressure and, if it has dropped, open the filling loop
again to bring the pressure back up to 1 bar.
2. Check the exhaust flue for the fumes produced by combustion.
3. Make sure that all gate valves are open;
4. Turn on the gas cock and check the seals on the connections, including
the one for the burner, making sure that the meter does not signal the
passage of gas.Check the connections with a soap solution and
eliminate any leaks.
5. Press the reset button
“A” for the lighting system; the spark will light the
main burner.If the burner does not light the first time, repeat the
procedure.
6. Check the minimum and maximum pressure values for the gas going to
the burner; adjust it if needed using the values indicated in the table in
section 4 (See the relative section for burner pressure adjustment within
the servicing manual).
3.5 OPERATIONAL
ADJUSTMENTS
The boiler is fitted with the following devices (see section 3.2 for references).
1 - IGNITION FAILURE:
This control signals an ignition failure on the burner 7 seconds after a
lighting failure. The L.E.D. “F” will illuminate to signal the shutdown
status.
The system can be reset by pressing and releasing the button “H” after
checking to make sure that the gas cock is open.
2 - CIRCULATION FAILURE:
This control signals that the safety pressure switch on the primary
circuit has not sensed a pressure of at least 1 bar within 40 seconds of
the activation of the circulation pump; the circulation pump comes to a
halt and the red L.E.D. “J” illuminates.
The system may be reset, after re-establishing the correct level of
pressure in the boiler, turning the “A” knob.
3 - OVERHEATING:
This control shuts off the boiler in the case where the primary circuit
reaches a temperature in excess of 105°C.
The red L.E.D.s “I” and “F” will illuminate to signal this shutdown
status.
The system can be reset by waiting a few minutes for the primary
exchanger to cool down and then by pressing and releasing the “H”
button.
4. LIMESCALE BUILD-UP:
The boiler is equipped with a device that limits the formation of
Limescale in the secondary exchanger by controlling the temperature of
the domestic hot water (max 61°C) and also controlling the temperature
of the water in the primary heating circuit.

3.8 BOILER SAFETY SYSTEMS
In the boiler, it is possible to monitor the correct operation of
the flue exhaust/air intake, checking for a loss of general
pressure in the system. Through the use of a differential
manometer connected to the test points of the combustion
chamber, it is possible to detect the ∆P of operation of the air
pressure switch.
The value detected should not be less than 0,55 mbar for
23kW and 0.75 mbar for 27kW under conditions of maximum
thermal power in order for the boiler to function properly and
without interruption.
The flue connector has two apertures, readings can be
taken for the temperature of the combustion by-products
and of the combustion air, as well as of the concentrations
of O
2
and CO2, etc. .
To access these intakes it is necessary to unscrew the front
screw and remove the metal plate with sealing gasket.
The best test conditions, with the maximum heating power,
are achieved by turning the selector knob “
C” to the “max”
position and removing the electrical connection to the heating
sensor (see section 6.).
