Detailed recommendations are given in BS 6798:2000 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.

The discharge pipe must be terminated in a suitable position:
i)Connecting in to an internal soil stack (at least 450 mm above the invert of the stack). A trap giving a water seal of at least 75 mm must be incorporated into the pipe run, there also must be an air break upstream of the trap.
ii)Connecting into the waste system of the building such as a washing machine or sink trap. The connection must be upstream of the washing machine/sink (If the connection is down stream of the waste trap then an additional trap giving a minimum water seal of 75 mm and an air break must be incorporated in the pipe run, as above.
iii)Terminating into a gully, below the grid level but above the water level.
iv)Into a soakway.
NOTE: If any condensate pipe work is to be installed externally, then it should be kept to a minimum and be insulated with a waterproof insulation and have a continuous fall.
Some examples of the type of condensate drains can be found on pages 11 and 12.
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 method for initially filling the heating system is supplied with the connection kit. The filling loop is connected between the cold water inlet and the central heating flow connections, and incorporates a non-return valve. To operate the filling loop, it is necessary to open both quarter turn handles, once the required pressure has been achieved, close both handles and disconnect the hose in accordance with water byelaws and cap off with the cap supplied. NOTE: The installer should ensure that there are no leaks as frequent filling of the heating system can lead to premature scaling of the main exchanger and failure of hydraulic components.
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
27/32 MFFI (COMBI)
must be used for pipe work carrying drinking water, a scale reducer should also be used to reduce the risk of scale forming in the domestic side of the heat exchanger.
UNDER FLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS:
In the event of an under floor heating system, fit a safety thermostat on the boiler flow (see Section 2.12). This thermostat should be positioned at a safe distance from the boiler to ensure the correct operation of the same. If the thermostat is positioned too close to the boiler, the water remaining in the boiler after domestic hot water has been drawn will flow into the central heating system and may cause the thermostat contact to open without there being any real danger of the system being damaged, this would lead to a boiler shutdown both in D.H.W. mode and C.H. mode, and the error code “E08” would be displayed; boiler operation resumes automatically when the thermostat contact closes on cooling.
Should the thermostat fail to be installed as recommended, the under floor heating system can be protected by installing a thermostatic valve upstream from the thermostat in order to prevent the flow of excessively hot water towards the system.

WATER TREATMENT
The boiler is equipped with an aluminium alloy main heat exchanger.
The detailed recommendations for water treatment are given in BS 7593:1992 (Treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating systems); the following notes are given for general guidance;
-If the boiler is installed on an existing system, any unsuitable additives must be removed;
-Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired before the system has been thoroughly flushed; the flushing procedure must be in line with BS7593:1992.
We highly recommend the use of a flushing detergent appropriate for the metals used in the aluminium alloy circuit. These include (Fernox Superfloc, BetzDearborn Sentinel X300 or X400), whose function is to dissolve any foreign matter that may be in the system;
In hard water areas or where large quantities of water are in the system the treatment of the water to prevent premature scaling of the main heat exchanger is necessary.
The formation of scale strongly compromises the efficiency of the thermic exchange because small areas of scale cause a high increase of the temperature of the metallic walls and therefore add to the thermal stress of the heat exchanger.
Demineralised water is more aggressive so in this situation it is necessary to treat the water with an appropriate corrosion inhibitor.
-Any treatment of water by additives in the system for frost protection or for corrosion inhibition has to be absolutely suitable for all the metals used in the circuit including the aluminium alloys.
The use of a corrosion inhibitor in the system such as Fernox MB-1Copal, BetzDeaborn Sentinel X100 System Inhibitor is recommended to prevent corrosion (sludge) damaging the boiler and system;
-If anti-freeze substances are to be used in the system, check carefully that they are compatible with the aluminium.
In particular, DO NOT USE ordinary ETHYLENE GLYCOL, since it is corrosive in relation to aluminium and its alloy, as well being toxic.
MTS suggests the use of suitable anti-freeze products such as Fernox ALPHI 11, which will prevent rust and incrustation taking place.
Periodically check the pH of the water/anti-freeze mixture of the boiler circuit and replace it when the amount measured is out of the range stipulated by the manufacturer ( 7 < pH < 8).
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANTI-FREEZE
-In under-floor systems, the use of plastic pipes without protection against penetration of oxygen through the walls can cause corrosion of the system’s metal parts (metal piping, boiler, etc), through the formation of oxides and bacterial agents.
To prevent this problem, it is necessary to use pipes with an “oxygen-proof barrier”, in accordance with standards DIN 4726/4729. If pipes of this kind are not used, keep the system separate by installing heat exchangers of those with a specific system water treatment.
IMPORTANT
Failure to carry out the water treatment procedure will invalidate the appliance warranty.

2.9.CONNECTING THE FLUE
IMPORTANT!!
BEFORE CONNECTING THE FLUE, ENSURE THAT 1 LITRE OF WATER HAS BEEN POURED INTO THE EXHAUST CONNECTION TO FILL THE CONDENSATE TRAP (FIG.2.7). SHOULD THE TRAP BE EMPTY THERE IS A TEMPORARY RISK OF FLUE GASSES ESCAPING INTO THE ROOM.
FIG. 2.7 |
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, it must also be located in a place not likely to cause nuisance.
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 2.1 metres above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to which people have access, then a suitable stainless steel terminal guard must be fitted.
The minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are specified in Fig. 2.9.

Once the boiler has been positioned on the wall, insert the elbow into the socket and rotate to the required position. NOTE: It is possible to rotate the elbow 360o on its vertical axis.
Using the flue clamp, seals and screws supplied (Fig 2.12) secure the elbow to the boiler.
The 1 metre horizontal flue kit (3318073) supplied is suitable for an exact X dimension of 815mm.
Measure the distance from the face of the external wall to the face of the flue elbow (X - Fig 2.9), this figure must now be subtracted from 815mm, you now have the total amount to be cut from the plain end of the flue.
Draw a circle around the outer flue and cut the flue to the required length taking care not to cut the inner flue, next cut the inner flue ensuring that the length between the inner and outer flue is maintained. (Fig 2.12).
e.g.
X = 555mm
815-555 = 260mm (Length to be cut from the plain end of the flue).
Once cut to the required length, ensure that the flue is free from burrs and reassemble the flue. If fitting the flue from inside of the building attach the grey outer wall seal to the flue terminal and push the flue through the hole, once the wall seal has passed through the hole, pull the flue back until the seal is flush with the wall. Alternatively, the flue can be installed from outside of the building, the grey outer seal being fitted last.

Should the flue require extending, the flue connections are push fit, however, one flue bracket should be used to secure each metre of flue.
NOTE: SEE PAGE 19 FOR MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM FLUE RUNS.
Once the boiler has been positioned on the wall, it is necessary to insert the Ø80/125 adaptor (FIG. 2.13) for both horizontal and vertical flue runs into the boiler flue socket (not supplied with flue kit - Part No 3318095).
Push the adaptor onto the boilers flue connection, grease the seals then add extensions or elbows as required, secure the adaptor, using the clamp and screws provided.
To fit extensions or elbows it is first necessary to ensure that the lip seal is fitted correctly into the inner flue, once verified, it is simply necessary to push them together, no clamps are necessary to secure the flue components.
Before proceeding to fit the flue, ensure that the maximum flue length has not been exceeded (See the tables on Page 19) and that all elbows and bends have been taken into consideration, the maximum flue length is 10 metres, for each additional 90o elbow 1 metre must be subtracted from the total flue length, and for each 45o 0.5 metres must be subtracted from the total flue length (the height of the vertical adaptor and a 45o bend can be seen in Fig. 2.14 and a 90o bend in Fig. 2.15).
NOTE: DO NOT CUT THE VERTICAL FLUE KIT.

The vertical flue kit is supplied with a specially designed weather proof terminal fitted, it can be used either with a flat roof or a pitched roof.
The Vertical flue kits useable lengths with the pitched roof flashings are indicated in Fig. 2.16.
Before proceeding to fit the flue, ensure that the maximum flue length has not been exceeded (See the tables on Page 19) and that all elbows and bends have been taken into consideration, the maximum flue length is 4 metres, for each additional 90o elbow 1 metre must be subtracted from the total flue length, and for each 45o 0.5 metres must be subtracted from the total flue length (the height of the vertical adaptor and a 45o bend can be seen in Fig. 2.17).
Mark the position of the flue hole in the ceiling and/or roof (see Fig. 2.15 for distance from wall to the centre of the flue).
Cut a 120mm diameter hole through the ceiling and/or roof and fit the flashing plate to the roof.
DO NOT cut the vertical flue kit.
To connect the vertical flue kit directly to the boiler, place the vertical starter kit (Part No. 3318079) (see Fig. 2.16) onto the exhaust manifold and secure with the clamp, fit the vertical adaptor onto the vertical starter kit (note: there is no need to use a clamp to secure this as it is a push fit connection), the vertical flue kit must then be inserted through the roof flashing, this will ensure that the correct clearance above the roof is provided as the terminal is a fixed height.
Should extensions be required, they are available in 1 metre
(Part No. 3318077), 500mm (Part No. 3318078) and 160mm lengths, they must be connected directly to the vertical starter kit before connecting the adaptor to allow the vertical flue kit to be fitted. In the event that extension pieces need to be shortened, they must only be cut at the male end and it must be ensured that the inner and outer flue remain flush (Fig. 2.12)
When utilising the vertical flue system, action must be taken to ensure that the flue is supported adequately to prevent the weight being transferred to the appliance flue connection by using 1 flue bracket per extension.
Fig. 2.17 |
When the flue passes through a ceiling or wooden floor, there |
|
|
|
must be an air gap of 25mm between any part of the flue |
|
system and any combustible material. The use of a ceiling |
|
plate will facilitate this. Also when the flue passes from one |
|
room to another a fire stop must be fitted to prevent the |
|
passage of smoke or fire, irrespective of the structural |
|
material through which the flue passes. |

distance permitted for coaxial flues, the twin flue pipe can be |
|
used by fitting a special adaptor to the flue connector and |
|
using the aperture for the air intake located on top of the |
|
combustion chamber. |
|
Always ensure that the flue is adequately supported, using |
|
one flue bracket per extension and avoiding low points. (MTS |
|
supply suitable clamps as Part No. 705778). |
|
To utilise the air intake it is necessary to: |
|
1) Take the air intake cover off the top of the appliance |
|
2) Assemble the flange on the header supplied with the boiler |
|
3) Insert the header on the tube or the elbow up until the |
|
lower stop (you do not have to use the washer). |
|
4) Insert the elbow/header in the boiler air intake hole and |
|
fasten it with screws. |
|
The twin flue pipes can be fitted with or without additional |
|
elbows and need no clamps, simply ensure that the red o-ring |
|
is inserted in the female end of the flue pipe and push the |
|
extension piece fully into the previous section of flue pipe or |
|
elbow, check that the o-ring is not dislodged when |
|
assembling the flue (greasing the seal will aid assembly). |
|
Twin pipe can also be converted back to Coaxial flue to |
|
enable vertical termination with a coaxial kit by using the pipe |
|
bridge (Twin - Coaxial Adaptor - Part No. 3318089). When |
|
running the twin flue pipe vertically. |
|
It is not possible to terminate concentrically horizontally. |
|
Termination is only possible with separate air and exhaust |
|
terminals. |
|
When siting the twin flue pipe, the air intake and exhaust |
|
terminals must terminate on the same wall, the centres of the |
|
terminals must be a minimum of 280 mm apart and the air |
|
intake must not be sited above the exhaust terminal (refer to |
|
Fig. 2.20). The air intake pipe can be run horizontally, |
|
however, the terminal and the final 1 metre of flue must be |
|
installed either horizontally or with a slight fall away from the |
|
boiler to avoid rain ingress. |
|
It is also strongly recommended that the air intake pipe run be |
|
constructed of insulated pipe to prevent condense forming on |
|
the outside of the tube. |
|
The maximum permissible flue length for twin flue is |
|
dependent on the type of run used. |
|
For flue runs with the intake and exhaust pipes under the |
|
same atmospheric conditions (TYPE 4) the maximum length is |
|
38 metres (27kW) and 48 metres (32kW), for runs with the |
|
terminals under different atmospheric conditions (TYPE 5) the |
|
exhaust terminal must extend 0.5 metres above the ridge of |
|
the roof (this is not obligatory if the exhaust and air intake |
|
pipes are located on the same side of the building). For TYPE |
|
5 also, the maximum permissible combined length is 51 |
|
metres (27kW) and 49 metres (32kW). |
|
The maximum length is reached by combining the total |
|
lengths of both the air intake and exhaust pipes. Therefore a |
|
maximum length of 40 metres for example, will allow a flue |
|
run of 20 metres for the air intake and 20 metres for the |
|
exhaust pipes, also for each 90o elbow 2.2 metres must be |
|
subtracted from the total length and for each 45o elbow 1.4 |
|
metres must be subtracted from the total flue length. |
|
Some of the acceptable flue configurations are detailed on |
|
page 20. |
|
For further information relating to flue runs not illustrated, |
|
please contact the Technical Department on 0870 241 8180. |
17
In the event that the air intake and exhaust are run to the left, it will be necessary to reduce the height of the air intake by cutting 20mm from the base of the air intake elbow (see Fig. 2.18)
In the event that twin flue pipes are used, and the boiler has a side clearance of less than 60mm from the wall, it is necessary to cut a larger diameter hole for the flue pipe, this should be ø10 cm, this will then allow for easier assembly of the air intake elbow and the tube outside the wall (see Fig. 2.19).
Fig. 2.18
ø 100
60 mm
Fig. 2.19
Fig. 2.20

For coaxial systems, the maximum development value, mentioned in the table below also takes into account an elbow.
For twin flue systems the maximum development value, mentioned in the table includes the exhaust gas/air intake terminal.
Type 5 outlets should respect the following instructions:
1- Use the same ø 80 mm flue pipes for the air intakes and exhaust gas ducts.
2- If you need to insert elbows in the air intake and exhaust gas ducts, you should consider for each one the equivalent length to be included in the calculation of developed length.
3- The exhaust gas duct should jut above the roof by at least 0.5 m.
4- The intake and exhaust gas ducts in Type 5 must be installed on the same wall, or where the exhaust is vertical and the air intake horizontal, the terminals must be on the same side of the building.

SETTING THE MECHANICAL TIME CLOCK |
1. General layout |
|
|
|
|
|
The mechanical clock covers a 24 hour period. Each tappet |
|
|
represents 15 minutes A (Fig. 2.30). An override switch is |
|
|
located on the clock B (Fig 2.30). |
|
|
2. To set the time |
|
|
To set the time of day, grasp the outer edge of the dial and |
|
|
turn slowly clockwise until the correct time is lined up with the |
|
|
arrow C (Fig. 2.30). |
|
|
3. To Set the "On" and "Off" times |
|
|
The clock uses a 24hours system. e.g. 8 = 8.00 am and |
|
|
18 = 6.00 pm. "ON" periods are set by sliding all tappets |
|
|
between the "ON" time and the "OFF" time to the outer edge |
|
|
of the dial.The tappets remaining at the centre of the dial are |
|
|
the "OFF" periods. |

Entering the switching times
You have 20 memory Iocations available. Each switching time takes up one memory location.
Keep pressing the “Prog” key until a free memory location is shown in the display “– –:– –”.
Programme ON or OFF with the “ ” key: “ ”= OFF; “ ”= ON
Enter the hour using “h” Enter the minutes using “m”
If a switching command is to be carried out every day (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) then store using the “ ” key, otherwise select the day(s) it is to be carried out by using the “Day” key.
When the day seIection is left bIank, the programmed switching instruction operates at the same time every day
1 2 3 4 5 6 = Monday – Saturday
1 2 3 4 5 |
= Monday – Friday |
6 7 |
=Saturday – Sunday |
Selection of single days: 1 = Mon. .............. 2 =Tues. Save the switching time with the “ ” key.
The time switch enters the automatic operating mode and displays the current time of day.
Begin any further entry of a switching time with the “Prog” switch. If your entry is incomplete, the segments not yet selected will blink in the display. After programming is completed, and you return the time clock to the current time display with the “ ” key, the time clock will not activate any switching instruction required for the current time. You may need to manually select the desired switching state with the “ ” key. Thereafter, as the unit encounters further switching instructions in the memory in real time, it will correctly activate all subsequent switching instructions.
Manual Override Switch “ ”
With the “ ” you can change the current setting at any time. The switching program already entered is not altered.
Reading the programmed switching times
Pressing the “Prog” key displays the programmed switching times until the first free memory location appears in the display “– – : – –”.
If you now press the “Prog” key once again, the number of free memory Iocations will be displayed, e.g. “18”. If all memory locations are occupied, the display “00” appears.
Changing the programmed switching times
Press the “Prog” key repeatedly until the switching time you want to change is displayed. You can now enter the new data. See point “Entering the switching times”.
Notes on storing switching times:
If you end your entry of the switching times by pressing the “Prog” key, then the switching time you have entered will be stored and the next memory location displayed.
In addition, a complete switching command is stored automatically after around 90 seconds provided no other key is pressed. The time switch then enters the automatic operating mode and displays the current time again.
Deleting individual switching times
Press the “Prog” key repeatedly until the switching time you wish to delete is shown in the display. Then set to “– –” using the “h” or “m” key and keep the “ ” key pressed down for around 3 seconds. The switching time is now erased and the current time is displayed.
AM / PM time display
If you press the “+/-1h” and “h” keys at the same time, the time display switches into the AM/PM mode.

IMPORTANT!!
Only remove the links from SP and TA if they are to be connected to external controls.
IMPORTANT!!
Before carrying out any repairs to the appliance always ensure that the external power supply has been isolated. The boiler will remain live even when the ON/OFF knob is in the “O”(off) position.
In order to gain access to the external control connections, it is first necessary to remove the casing (as shown in Section 3.2) then proceed as follows:
1.Remove the cover of the main PCB box (Fig 2.31).
2.Access can now be gained to the following connectors (see Section 2.13):
CN10 - Safety thermostat for underfloor heating (SP) CN 9 - Room Thermostat (TA)
CN 11 - Time clock
CN 6 - Interface PCB (FIG. 2.33)
CONNECTION OF ROOM THERMOSTAT OR EXTERNAL TIME CLOCK
a.- Insert the thermostat cable through the cable grommet and fasten it by means of the cable-clamp provided.
b.- Connect the thermostat wires to the terminal block CN9 (Fig. 2.32 - Diagram A).
c.- If a remote time clock is to be fitted, supply 240V from the same spur as the boiler for the clock motor supply, disconnect the integral time clock from the P.C.B. CN11
d.- Using a volt-free switching time clock, connect the switching wires from the time clock following points A- C above (Fig. 2.32 - Diagram B).
e.- If using an external time clock and room thermostat, these must be connected in series as points A-D above (Fig. 2.32 - Diagram C).
NOTE: ENSURE LOW VOLTAGE AND HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUITS ARE
CABLED SEPARATELY TO AVOID INDUCED VOLTAGES IN THE LOW VOLTAGE CIRCUITS.
