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.
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 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 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. A suitable terminal guard is available from:

3 COMMISSIONING

3.1 Initial Preparation

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 instruct 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, earth continuity, resistance to earth and short circuit.
Filling the Heating System:
Remove the panels of the case and lower the control panel (see point 3.2. 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 per-
manently. 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 (sect.
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 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.
3.4 Initial Start-up
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 pressing the On/Off switch <L> - the L.E.D. “I” will turn on - turn the selector knob “C” to the <
winter> setting. This will start the circula­tion pump. After 7 seconds, the boiler will signal a shut-down due to failure ignition. 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).
The boiler is designed to make it easy to analyse the combustion by-products.
Using the especially designed apertures, readings can be taken on the temper­ature of the combustion by-products and of the combustion air, as well as of the concentrations of O
2
and CO2, etc.
The best maximum-power test conditions for the heating system are when the selector “C” is turned to the flue analysis setting.

3.6 Combustion Analysis

20
The boiler is equipped with the following safety systems (see section 3.3 for references):
1 - Ignition Failure
This control signals an ignition failure on the burner 7 seconds after a lighting failure. The L.E.D.“B”.will turn on to signal the shutdown status. The system can be reset by pressing and releasing the button “A” after checking to make sure that the gas valve is open. Repeat this process until the burner lights.
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, it shuts off the boiler and lights the L.E.D. “D”. The system can be reset (after the pressure has been brought up to the proper level) by using the On/Off switch “L”.
3 - Overheating
This control shuts off the boiler in the case where the primary circuit reaches a tempera­ture in excess of 110°C. The L.E.D. “G” will come on to signal this shut off status. After the system has been allowed to cool, the system can be reset by pressing the button “A”.
4 - The boiler is provided with a device that, should the temperature of the water for the
heating system fall to below 3°C, is activated until a temperature of 55°C is reached (still for heating purposes). This device can only be activated with a perfectly operating boiler:
- The pressure of the system is sufficient,
- The boiler is well supplied electronically,
- The gas is supplied.
5- Limescale Build-up
This is an indirect control (actuated through the regulation of the temperature in the primary heat exchanger) on the formation of limescale in the secondary heat exchanger. Regardless of the flow rate and the temperature in the circuit for the domestic hot water, the temperature is limited to 62°C.
6- Safety Shut-off
At the start of every lighting phase, the P.C.B. performs a series of internal controls. If a malfunction occurs, the boiler will shutdown until the problem has been resolved.
The discharge/ventilation of the exhaust fumes can be monitored to check for losses in general pressure in the system. This is done to eliminate the cause of lighting failure with the main burner not indicated by a shutdown status.
With a differential manometer connected to the test socket on the combustion chamber, the DP value for the air pres­sure switch can be taken. The measured value should not be less than 10 mbar under maximum thermal power condi­tions (with the knob “C” on the flue test setting) in order for the unit to function properly and without interruption.

3.9 Draining the System

Draining the heating system.
The heating system must be emptied as follows:
- Turn off the boiler;
- Open the drain valve for the system and place a container below to catch the water that comes out;
- Empty the system at the lowest points (where present). If you plan on not using the heating system for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you add antifreeze with an ethylene glycol base to the water in the heating lines and radiators if the ambient temperature drops below 0°C during the winter. This makes repeated draining of the entire system unnecessary.
Draining the domestic hot water system.
Whenever there is the danger of the temperature dropping below the freezing point, the domestic hot water system must be drained as follows:
- Turn off the general water valve for the household plumbing system;
- Turn on all the hot and cold water taps;
- Empty the remaining water from the lowest points in the system (where present).

4.1 Changing the Type of Gas

The boiler can be converted to use either methane (natural) gas (G20) or LPG (G30 - G31) by an Authorised Service Centre.
The operations that must be performed are the following:
1. Replace the jets on the main burner (see table in section 4);
2. Adjust the maximum and minimum thermal capacity values for the boiler (see table in section 4);
3. Replace the gas rating plate;
4. Adjust the maximum thermal power setting;
5. Adjust the soft-light feature;
6. Adjust the ignition delay feature for the heating system (can be set from 0 to 2 mins.).

5. MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that the following checks be made on the boiler at least once a year:
1 - Check the seals for the water connections; replacement of any faulty seals. 2 - Check the gas seals; replacement of any faulty gas seals. 3 - Visual check of the entire unit. 4 - Visual check of the combustion process and cleaning of the burners if
needed.
5 - If called for by check no. 3, dismantling and cleaning of the combustion
chamber. 6 - If called for by check no. 4, dismantling and cleaning of the injectors. 7 - Visual check of the primary heat exchanger:
- check for overheating in the blade assembly;
- clean the exhaust fan if needed.
8 - Adjustment of the flow rate of the gas: flow rate for lighting, partial load and
full load.
21
The outlet pressure of the gas cock is obtained by completely loosening the screw on the solenoid. The maximum pressure of the gas to the burner will be equal to the nomi­nal delivery pressure minus the head loss within the gas valve.
