(If the appliance is to be fitted on a wall of combustible material, the wall must be protected by a sheet of fireproof material).

If the appliance is to be fitted into a timber framed building, guidance should be sought from the Institute of Gas Engineers document REF: IGE/UP/7.

2.5.1.Drill the wall and plug using those supplied with the connections kit, position the hanging bracket and secure with the wall screws supplied, assemble the connection kit and secure to the wall. NOTE: It is highly recommended that a spirit level be used to position the appliance to ensure that it is perfectly level.

2.5.2.Position the appliance on the hanging bracket and connect the connection kit to the boiler connections. (see also Sections 2.7 Gas Connections, 2.8 Water Connections & FIG. 2.5).

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.

2.6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The boiler operates with alternating current, as indicated in the technical data table (Section 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 inside the electrical box (see Section 2.12).

IMPORTANT!

In the event that the power supply cable 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 cable;

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

Central Heating

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.

FIG. 2.5

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.

RESIDUAL HEAD OF THE BOILER

T20°C

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

(MBAR)

nuisance, but in an easily visible position, and not cause

damage to electrical components and wiring.

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.

3X SCREWS

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.

16

2.9.4. FITTING THE TWIN PIPE (Ø80 / 80)	NOTE: SEE PAGE 19 FOR MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM FLUE RUNS.
	Where it is not possible to terminate the flue within the
	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).

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.

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.

2.12.ACCESSORY CONNECTION

FIG. 2.31		SP

TA

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.
