The Benchmark Scheme

Benchmark places responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers. The purpose is to ensure that customers are provided with the correct equipment for their needs, that it is installed, commissioned and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by competent persons and that it meets the requirements of the appropriate Building Regulations. The Benchmark Checklist can be used to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations and should be provided to the customer for future reference.

Installers are required to carry out installation, commissioning and servicing work in accordance with the Benchmark Code of Practice which is available from the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council who manage and promote the Scheme. Visit www.centralheating.co.uk for more information.

Building Regulations and the Benchmark Commissioning Checklist

Building Regulations (England & Wales) require notification of the installation of a heating appliance to the relevant Local Authority Building Control Department. This can be achieved via a Competent Persons Self Certification Scheme as an option to notifying the Local Authority directly.

The Health & Safety Executive operates the ‘Gas Safe Register’, a self-certification scheme for gas heating appliances.

These arrangements represent a change from the situation whereby compliance with Building Regulations was accepted as being demonstrated by completion of the Benchmark Logbook (which was then left on site with the customer).

With the introduction of Self Certification Schemes, the Benchmark Logbook is being withdrawn. However, a similar document in the form of a commissioning checklist and service interval record is incorporated at the back of these instructions.

This company is a member of the Benchmark initiative and fully supports the aims of the programme. Its aim is to improve the standards of installation and commissioning of central heating systems in the UK and to encourage the regular servicing of all central heating systems to ensure safety and efficiency.

Building Regulations require that installations should comply with manufacturer's instructions. It is therefore important that the commissioning checklist is completed by the installer. The relevant section of Building Regulations only relates to dwellings. Therefore the checklist only applies if the appliance is being installed in a dwelling or some related structure.

Safe Manual Handling

General

The following advice should be adhered to, from when first handling the boiler to the final stages of installation, and also during maintenance.

Most injuries as a result of inappropriate handling and lifting are to the back, but all other parts of the body are vulnerable, particularly shoulders, arms and hands. Health & Safety is the responsibility of EVERYONE.

There is no ‘safe’ limit for one man - each person has different capabilities. The boiler should be handled and lifted by TWO PEOPLE.

Do not handle or lift unless you feel physically able.

Wear appropriate Personal Protection Equipment e.g. protective gloves, safety footwear etc.

Preparation

Co-ordinate movements - know where, and when, you are both going.

Minimise the number of times needed to move the boiler - plan ahead.

Always ensure when handling or lifting the route is clear and unobstructed. If possible avoid steps, wet or slippery surfaces, unlit areas etc. and take special care on ladders/into lofts.

Technique

When handling or lifting always use safe techniques - keep your back straight, bend your knees. Don’t twist - move your feet, avoid bending forwards and sideways and keep the load as close to your body as possible.

Where possible transport the boiler using a sack truck or other suitable trolley.

Always grip the boiler firmly, and before lifting feel where the weight is concentrated to establish the centre of gravity, repositioning yourself as necessary. See the ‘Installation’ section of these instructions for recommended lift points.

Remember

The circumstances of each installation are different. Always asses the risks associated with handling and lifting according to the individual conditions.

If at any time when installing the boiler you feel that you may have injured yourself STOP !! DO NOT ‘work through’ the pain - you may cause further injury.

IF IN ANY DOUBT DO NOT HANDLE OR LIFT THE BOILER - OBTAIN ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE BEFORE PROCEEDING !!

3.0 Appliance Operation

3.1 Central Heating Mode

1. With a demand for heating, the pump circulates water through the primary circuit.

2. Once the burner ignites the fan speed controls the gas rate to maintain the heating temperature measured by the temperature sensor.

3. When the flow temperature exceeds the setting temperature, a 3 minute delay occurs before the burner relights automatically (anti-cycling). The pump continues to run during this period.

4. When the demand is satisfied the burner is extinguished and the pump continues to run for a period of 3 minutes (Pump Overrun).

3.2 Domestic Hot Water Mode

1. Priority is given to the domestic hot water supply. A demand at a tap or shower will override any central heating requirement.

2. The flow of water will operate the Domestic Hot Water Sensor (‘Hall Effect Sensor’) which requests the 3 way valve to change position. This will allow the pump to circulate the primary water through the DHW plate heat exchanger.

3. The burner will light automatically and the temperature of the domestic hot water is controlled by the temperature sensor.

4. When the domestic hot water demand ceases the burner will extinguish and the diverter valve will remain in the domestic hot water mode, unless there is a demand for central heating.

3.3 Boiler Frost Protection Mode

1. The frost protection mode is integral to the appliance and functions as long as there is power to the boiler, as indicated by the standby signal .

2. With CH & DHW or CH only selected, when the boiler temperature falls below 5°C the boiler will fire until a temperature of 30°C is reached.

3. If DHW only is selected, when the boiler CH temperature falls below 5°C the boiler will fire until a temperature of 30°C is reached. When the boiler DHW temperature falls below 5°C the boiler will fire until a temperature of 7°C is reached.

4. Further protection can be incorporated by using a system frost thermostat.

3.4 Pump Protection

1. If the boiler has been inactive for a period of 24 hours the pump will automatically operate for 1 minute to prevent sticking.
