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With the introduction of Self Certification Schemes, the Benchmark Logbook is being withdrawn.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.
The flowchart opposite gives guidance for installers on the process necessary to ensure compliance with Building Regulations.

Safe Manual Handling
© Baxi Heating UK Ltd 2011
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
© Baxi Heating UK Ltd 2011
3.1 Central Heating Mode
1. With a demand for heating, the pump circulates water through the primary circuit.
2. Once main 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 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 Frost Protection Mode
1. The frost protection mode is integral to the appliance and functions as long as there is power and gas supplied to the boiler. If the system temperature falls below 5° C then the boiler will fire on its minimum setting until a flow temperature of 30° C is reached. Further protection can be incorporated by using a system frost thermostat.
3.4 Pump Protection
1. The pump will automatically operate for 1 minute in every 24 hours to prevent sticking.

6.5 System Filling and Pressurising
1. A filling point connection on the central heating return pipework must be provided to facilitate initial filling and pressurising and also any subsequent water loss replacement/refilling.
2. A filling loop is supplied with the boiler. Follow the instructions provided with it.
3. The filling method adopted must be in accordance with all relevant water supply regulations and use approved equipment.
4. Your attention is drawn to: for GB: Guidance G24.2 and recommendation R24.2 of the Water Regulations Guide. for IE: the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
5. The sealed primary circuits may be filled or replenished by means of a temporary connection between the circuit and a supply pipe, provided a ‘Listed’ double check valve or other similarly effective backflow prevention device is permanently connected at the inlet to the circuit and the temporary connection is removed after use.
6.6 Expansion Vessel (Central Heating only)
1. The appliance expansion vessel is pre-charged to 0.5 bar. Therefore, the minimum cold fill pressure is 0.5 bar. The vessel is suitable for correct operation for system capacities up to 125 litres (28) or 155 litres (33/40). For greater system capacities an additional expansion vessel must be fitted. For GB refer to BS 7074 Pt 1. For IE, the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
6.7 Safety Pressure Relief Valve (Fig. 6)
1. The pressure relief valve is set at 3 bar, therefore all pipework, fittings, etc. should be suitable for pressures in excess of 3 bar and temperature in excess of 100°C.
2. The pressure relief discharge pipe should be not less than 15mm dia, run continuously downward, and discharge outside the building, preferably over a drain. It should be routed in such a manner that no hazard occurs to occupants or causes damage to wiring or electrical components. The end of the pipe should terminate facing down and towards the wall (Fig. 6a).
3. The discharge must not be above a window, entrance or other public access. Consideration must be given to the possibility that boiling water/steam could discharge from the pipe.
4. A remote relief valve kit is available to enable the boiler to be installed in cellars or similar locations below outside ground level (kit no. 5121379).
5. A boiler discharge pump is available, part no. 720648301. This pump will dispose of both condensate & high temperature water from the relief valve. It has a maximum head of 5 metres.

6.8 Domestic Hot Water Circuit (Fig. 7)
1. All DHW circuits, connections, fittings, etc. should be fully in accordance with relevant standards and water supply regulations.
2. Your attention is drawn to: for GB: Guidance G17 to G24 and recommendation R17 to R24 of the Water Regulations Guide. for IE: the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
3. The Water Regulations recommendations for England and Wales prohibits backflow from appliances into the wholesome water supply due to thermal expansion. However this type of instantaneous combination boiler, with less than 15 litres of stored capacity, does not require any backflow prevention device as any thermal expansion is accommodated within the appliance. It is possible in certain circumstances that other cold water demands (e.g. washing machines, flushing of W.C.s) may affect the DHW function of the boiler. In these instances the fitting of a backflow prevention device and expansion vessel is recommended.
4. Also if there is an existing check valve, loose jumpered stop cock, water meter or water treatment device already fitted to the wholesome water supply connected to the boiler domestic hot water (DHW) inlet supply then a suitable expansion device may be required.
5. The boiler’s maximum working mains pressure is 8 bar, therefore all pipework, connections, fittings, etc. should be suitable for pressures in excess of 8 bar. A pressure reducing valve must be fitted for pressures in excess of 8 bar. The manufacturer of any outlet fittings, such as a shower valve, may require a lower maximum pressure. The pressure reduction must take account of all fittings connected to the DHW system.
6.9 Showers
1. If a shower control is supplied from the appliance it should be of the thermostatic or pressure balanced type. Thermostatic type shower valves provide the best comfort and guard against water at too high a temperature. Existing controls may not be suitable - refer to the shower valve manufacturer.
6.10 Hard Water Areas
1. If the area of the installation is recognised as a HARD WATER AREA then a suitable device should be fitted to treat the mains water supply to the boiler. Contact your Water Distribution Company for advice on suitable devices.

7.1 Location
1. The boiler may be fitted to any suitable wall with the flue passing through an outside wall or roof and discharging to atmosphere in a position permitting satisfactory removal of combustion products and providing an adequate air supply. The boiler should be fitted within the building unless otherwise protected by a suitable enclosure i.e. garage or outhouse. (The boiler may be fitted inside a cupboard
- see Section 7.3).
2. Where the boiler is sited in an unheated enclosure and during periods when the heating system is to be unused it is recommended that the permanent live is left on to give BOILER frost protection. NOTE: THIS WILL NOT PROTECT THE SYSTEM !
3. If the boiler is fitted in a room containing a bath or shower reference must be made to the relevant requirements. In GB this is the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations and Building Regulations. In IE reference should be made to the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations” and the current ETCI rules.
4. If the boiler is to be fitted into a building of timber frame construction then reference must be made to the current edition of Institute of Gas Engineers Publication IGE/UP/7 (Gas Installations in Timber Framed Housing).
7.2 Clearances (Figs. 8 & 9)
1. A flat vertical area is required for the installation of the boiler.
2. These dimensions include the necessary clearances around the boiler for case removal, spanner access and air movement. Additional clearances may be required for the passage of pipes around local obstructions such as joists running parallel to the front face of the boiler.
*This is MINIMUM recommended dimension. Greater clearance will aid installation and maintenance.
7.3 Ventilation of Compartments
1. Where the appliance is installed in a cupboard or compartment, no air vents are required.
2. BS 5440: Part 2 refers to room sealed appliances installed in compartments. The appliance will run sufficiently cool without ventilation.

7.4 Gas Supply
1. The gas installation should be in accordance with the relevant standards. In GB this is BS 6891 or in IE the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
2. The connection to the appliance is a 22mm copper tail located at the rear of the gas service cock (Fig. 10).
3. Ensure that the pipework from the meter to the appliance is of adequate size, and the demands of any other gas appliances in the property are taken into consideration. Do not use pipes of a smaller diameter than the boiler gas connection (22mm).
7.5 Electrical Supply
1. External wiring must be correctly earthed, polarised and in accordance with relevant regulations/rules. In GB this is the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations. In IE reference should be made to the current edition of ETCI rules.
2. The mains supply is 230V ~ 50Hzfused at 3A.
NOTE: The method of connection to the electricity supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation of the appliance.
Connection may be via a fused double-pole isolator with a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles and servicing the boiler and system controls only.
7.6 Bath & Shower Rooms
1. If the boiler is fitted in a room containing a bath or shower it can be fitted in zone 2, (Figs. A & B shows zone dimensions for a bathtub. For other examples refer to the Current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations) reference must be made to the relevant requirements. In GB this is the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations and Building Regulations.

7.7 Condensate Drain
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE CONDENSATE DISCHARGE PIPEWORK CORRECTLY WILL AFFECT THE RELIABLE OPERATION OF THE BOILER.
CAREFUL CONSIDERATION MUST BE GIVEN TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE PIPEWORK BEING SUBJECT TO FREEZING CONDITIONS AND APPROPRIATE MEASURES TAKEN TO PREVENT BLOCKAGE.
The condensate discharge pipe MUST NOT RISE at any point along its length. There MUST be a fall of AT LEAST 2.5° (50mm per metre) along the entire run.
1. The condensate outlet will accept 21.5mm (3/4in) plastic overflow pipe which should generally discharge internally into the household drainage system. If this is not possible, discharge into an outside drain is acceptable.
2. Ensure the discharge of condensate complies with any national or local regulations in force.
BS 6798 & Part H1 of the Building Regulations give further guidance.
3. The discharge pipe should be run in a proprietary drain pipe material e.g. PVC, PVC-U, ABS, PVC-C or PP.
4. Metal pipework is NOT suitable for use in condensate discharge systems.
5. The pipe should be a minimum of 21.5mm diameter and must be supported using suitably spaced clips to prevent sagging.
6. It is advisable that the full length of condensate pipe is run
internally and preferably be less than 3 metres.
7. Internal runs greater than 3 metres or runs in cold areas should use 32mm waste pipe.
8. External runs MUST be a MINIMUM of 32mm and fully insulated.
9. If the boiler is fitted in an unheated location the entire condensate discharge pipe should be treated as an external run.
10. In all cases discharge pipe must be installed to aid disposal of the condensate. To reduce the risk of condensate being trapped, as few bends and fittings as possible should be used.
11. When discharging condensate into a soil stack or waste pipe the effects of existing plumbing must be considered. If soil pipes or waste pipes are subjected to internal pressure fluctuations when WC's are flushed or sinks emptied then back-pressure may force water out of the boiler trap and cause appliance lockout.
Examples are shown of the following methods of termination:­i) to an internal soil & vent pipe ii) via an internal discharge branch (e.g. sink waste) iii) to a drain or gully iv) to a purpose made soakaway

7.8 Flue
NOTE: Due to the nature of the boiler a plume of water
vapour will be discharged from the flue. This should be taken into account when siting the flue terminal.
1. The following guidelines indicate the general requirements for siting balanced flue terminals. For GB recommendations are given in BS 5440 Pt 1. For IE recommendations are given in the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
2. If the terminal discharges onto a pathway or passageway, check that combustion products will not cause a nuisance and that the terminal will not obstruct the passageway.
3. If a 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 provided.
IMPORTANT:
• Under car ports we recommend the use of the plume displacement kit.
• The terminal position must ensure the safe and nuisance - free dispersal of combustion products.
*4. Reduction to the boundary is possible down to 25mm but flue deflector part no. 5111068 must be used.

9.1 Unpacking & Initial Preparation
IMPORTANT RISK ASSESSMENT - Before commencing the installation it is recommended that the ‘Five Steps to Risk Assessment’ document published by the HSE is consulted, and an assessment performed as described. GAS SUPPLY - The gas supply, gas type and pressure must be checked for suitability before connection (see Section 7.4).
NOTE: A small amount of water may drain from the boiler
in the upright position. If pre-plumbing it will be necessary to turn the carton over to access the wall plate first.
1. Remove staples, open flaps and remove the cardboard
sheet. Remove the polystyrene side pieces and literature. Two people can then lift out the boiler (Fig. 17). Disengage the wall plate from the boiler.
2. After considering the site requirements (see Section 7.0)
position the fixing template on the wall ensuring it is level both horizontally and vertically.
3. Mark the position of the two most suitable fixing slots for
the wall plate and boiler lower fixing holes.
4. Mark the position of the centre of the flue hole (rear exit).
For side flue exit, mark as shown (Fig. 18).
5. If required, mark the position of the gas and water pipes.
Remove the template.
6. Cut the hole for the flue (minimum diameter 116mm).
7. Drill the wall as previously marked to accept the wall plugs
supplied. Secure the wall plate using the fixing screws.
8. Using a spirit level ensure that the plate is level before finally
tightening the screws.
9. Connect the gas and water pipes to the valves on the wall
plate using the copper tails supplied. Ensure that the sealing washers are fitted between the connections.
NOTE: 40kW models ONLY - ensure the flow restrictor is inserted in cold water inlet connection (Fig. 19). On other models the restrictor is factory fitted internally.
10. Fit the filling loop as described in the instructions supplied
with it.
9.2 Flushing
1. Connect a tube to the heating flow or return pipe (Fig. 20).

9.3 Fitting The Boiler
1. Remove the sealing caps from the boiler connections.
NOTE: A small amount of water may drain from the boiler once the caps are removed.
2. Lift the boiler as indicated by the shaded areas. The boiler should be lifted by TWO PEOPLE. Engage the mounting bracket at the top rear of the boiler on the wall plate (Fig. 21) (see Safe Manual Handling page 5).
3. Insert the sealing washers between the valves and pipes on
the wall plate and the boiler connections.
4. Tighten all the connections.
9.4 Fitting the Safety Pressure Relief Discharge
Pipe (Fig. 22)
1. Remove the discharge pipe from the kit and determine the routing of the discharge pipe in the vicinity of the boiler. Make up as much of the pipework as is practical, including the discharge pipe supplied.
IMPORTANT: Make all soldered joints before connecting to the pressure relief valve. The relief valve is intentionally angled to the right of the boiler. DO NOT adjust the position of the valve. The discharge pipe must be installed before pressurising the system.
3. The pipework must be at least 15mm diameter and run continuously downwards to a discharge point outside the building. See section 6.7 for further details.
4. Utilising one of the sealing washers, connect the discharge pipe to the adaptor and tighten the nut hand tight, plus 1/4 turn to seal.
5. Complete the discharge pipework and route it to the outside discharge point.
9.5 Condensate Drain (see section 7.7) (Fig. 23)
1. Using the short piece of rubber hose supplied, connect the condensate drain pipework to the boiler condensate trap outlet pipe. When connecting the hose, ensure that the condensate sump is not inadvertently unscrewed.
Ensure the discharge of condensate complies with any national or local regulations in force (see British Gas “Guidance Notes for the Installation of Domestic Gas Condensing Boilers” & HHIC recommendations).
2. The hose will accept 21.5mm (
3
/4in) plastic overflow pipe which should generally discharge internally into the household drainage system. If this is not possible, discharge into an outside drain is acceptable.
3. The boiler condensate trap should be primed by pouring approximately 300ml of water into the flue spigot. Do not allow any water to fall into the air inlet.

HORIZONTAL TELESCOPIC FLUE
1. There are two telescopic sections, the Terminal Assembly and the Connection Assembly, a roll of sealing tape and two self tapping screws. A 93° elbow is also supplied. The outer duct of the Connection Assembly is painted white. On the Terminal Assembly the outer duct is unpainted.
2. The two sections can be adjusted to provide a length between 315mm and 500mm (Fig. 24) when measured from the flue elbow (there is 50mm engagement into the elbow).
3. Locate the flue elbow on the adaptor at the top of the boiler. Set the elbow to the required orientation (Fig. 25).
NOTE: The flue elbow is angled at 93 degrees to ensure a fall back to the boiler.
4. Measure the distance from the outside wall face to the elbow. This dimension will be known as ‘X’ (Fig. 25).
5. If the distance from the flue elbow to the outside face of the wall (‘X’ in Fig. 25) is less than 250mm the Connection Assembly can be discarded and the Terminal Assembly fitted directly into the elbow.
6. In instances where the dimension ‘X’ (Fig. 25) is between 250mm and 315mm it will be necessary to shorten the Terminal Assembly by careful cutting to accommodate walls of these thicknesses.
7. To dimension ‘X’ add 50mm. This dimension to be known as ‘Y’.
8. Adjust the two telescopic sections to dimension ‘Y’ and seal the joint with the tape provided (Fig. 27). Ensure that the labels marked ‘TOP’ on the Terminal and Connection Assemblies are uppermost.
9. Using the clearance holes in the Connection Assembly secure it to the Terminal Assembly using the screws supplied (Fig. 28).

10.1 The De-Aeration Process
1. It is recommended that the De-Aeration Process is carried out prior to firing the boiler for the first time, as part of commissioning. This will assist in removing residual air from the boiler.
NOTE: If Low Voltage Controls are to be fitted the Link Wire must be used. However, do NOT connect this link wire across 1 & 2 of terminal block M1 (Fig. 32) until the De-Aeration process has been completed. If the system controls have been wired ensure there is no heat demand before carrying out De-Aeration. The outer case front panel does not need to be
removed to carry out the De-Aeration procedure.
2. Open the mains water supply to the boiler and all hot water taps to purge the DHW system. Ensure that the filling loop is connected and open, then open the heating flow and return valves on the boiler.
3. Open the cap on the automatic air vent on the pump body. The system must be flushed in accordance with BS 7593 (see Section 6.2) and the flushing agent manufacturers instructions.
4. Pressurise the system to 1.5 bar then close and disconnect the filling loop.
5. Turn the gas supply on and purge according to in GB BS 6891 and in IE I.S. 813 "Domestic Gas Installations". Test for gas tightness.
6. Connect the boiler flying lead to a fused spur and turn on the power. On initial power up, ‘Test Mode’ will be displayed briefly followed by ‘Press OK button min 5s’. Press the Selector Button (OK Button) for a minimum of 5 seconds to continue. ‘Data Update’ will be displayed for several minutes whilst the i-THINK controller configures its settings. ‘Operator unit ready’ will be displayed when the process is complete (Fig. 33).
7. Using the Selector Button, select Language (English) and set the Year, Month, Day and Time.
De-Aeration Function
8. Press and hold the and buttons for 6 seconds. Fig. 2. ‘Chimney sweep function’ will be displayed. Turn the Selector Button (Fig. 33) until ‘De-Aeration Function’ is displayed. Press the Selector Button to activate. ‘312 De-Aeration Function’ will be shown. The boiler pump will run for approximately 10 minutes, during which time the diverter valve will switch between heating & hot water. This will assist in venting air from the boiler. All radiators and bleed points must still be vented.
9. If the system pressure drops below 0.5bar during De-Aeration an error symbol ‘E’ will be displayed and the process will stop. The test will restart automatically once the system has been refilled and repressurised. The error will clear from the screen and ‘312 De-Aeration Function’ will reappear. NO BUTTONS ARE TO BE PRESSED. As part of this process the pump may stop for a period before restarting. Once the test is complete the main screen display will reappear.
10. Turn off the power and remove the i-THINK controller. Remove the outer case front panel and refit the i-THINK Controller to the front of the boiler. The display will show ‘Data Update’ for approximately 20 seconds and ‘Operator Unit Ready’ will be displayed. The Operational Gas Inlet Pressure and Gas Rate can now be checked. See Section 12.2 of the boiler manual for details.
IMPORTANT: Gas Rate Measurement (Section 12.2 of the Boiler Instructions). The system MUST be completely cold to ensure the boiler is operating under full demand. If this cannot be maintained for sufficient time to measure the gas rate, remove the diverter valve motor and the DHW Hall sensor and fully open a hot tap(s) to prevent the boiler switching off by reaching temperature. Ensure the correct orientation of the Hall sensor when reassembling.
11. On completion, the boiler link wire can be connected if required and any remaining system wiring completed. Ensure all controls are calling for heat.
IMPORTANT: The combustion for this appliance has been checked, adjusted and preset at the factory for operation on the gas type specified on the appliance data plate. No measurement of the combustion is necessary. The measurement of the CO is not essential but if taken the results can be recorded in the Benchmark Document. The air/gas ratio valve is not adjustable.

NOTE: When using an existing external control system the 230V switched signal for external controls (Frost Stat ­Room Stat - Timer) must always be taken from terminal 2 at the boiler. Live, Neutral and Earth to power these controls must be taken from the Fused Spur.
11.1 Making The Electrical Connections
1. IMPORTANT: First remove the i-THINK controller, then undo the securing screws and lift the case front panel off. Ensure that power to the boiler is isolated.
2. Disengage the securing tab at the left and hinge the control box downwards. Undo the terminal block cover securing screw and remove the cover (Fig. 34).
3. The boiler is supplied with a mains input lead connected. Remove the grommet adjacent to the gland nut, pierce the diaphragm and insert the cable from the external control system.
4. Leave sufficient slack in the cables to allow the Control Box to be hinged fully open. Tighten the gland nut and refit the grommet.
NOTE: Both the Permanent Live and Neutral connections are fused. The mains supply is 230V ~ 50H
z
fused at 3A (see Section 7.5 for further details).
5. Refer to the instructions supplied with the external control(s).
6. When fitting the boiler to an existing installation it may be desired to retain the external control system already in place. In such circumstances the wiring should be as shown in Fig. 36 for example, and the i-THINK controller set to ‘On’ heating operation with no timed ‘off’ periods (as supplied). NO LOW VOLTAGE EXTERNAL CONTROLS (except the Outdoor Sensor) CAN BE FITTED IN THIS INSTANCE !
IMPORTANT: Any thermostat shown in Fig. 36 MUST be suitable for 230V switching.
7. The 230V supply at terminal 2 must be connected to the control system. The switched output from the control system must be connected to terminal 1. If the room thermostat being used incorporates an anticipator it MUST be wired as shown in Fig. 36.
8. Once wiring is complete replace all covers.
NOTE: If the i-THINK Controller is to be used as a timer or room unit, or if any of the available Low Voltage external controls (with the exception of the Outdoor Sensor) are to be used IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CONNECT A FROST OR PIPE THERMOSTAT TO TERMINAL M1.

11.4 Room Unit Installation Procedure
1. Room unit location: The wall cradle should be located in the main living room while giving consideration to the following points:
The place of installation should be chosen such that the sensor can capture the room temperature as accurately as possible without getting adversely affected by direct solar radiation or other heat or refrigeration sources (about 1.5 meters above the floor).
There must be sufficient clearance around the unit, enabling it to be fitted and removed.
IMPORTANT: A TRV should not be fitted to the radiator in the same room as the i-THINK Controller working as a Room Sensor. If a TRV has been installed on this radiator, the TRV must remain set open at all times, otherwise the house holder will experience room temperature control problems.
11.5 Low Voltage Terminal M2
NOTE: Only Baxi supplied Low Voltage control accessories
must be used with this boiler.
1. When directed in Baxi control accessory literature to connect wiring to ‘Boiler Wiring Terminals (see Boiler Manual for details)’ the wiring MUST be connected to Terminal M2.
2. Where used, the Outdoor Sensor must be connected to Terminals 4 & 5 of M2. Other Baxi Low Voltage control accessories must be connected to terminals 1, 2 & 3 of M2:­Terminal 1 (Red) = Live (for display backlight) Terminal 2 (Black) = Ground Terminal 3 (White) = Data Signal
3. When Baxi control accessories are connected to Terminal M2 the yellow link wire supplied in the boiler fitting kit MUST be fitted to terminals 1 & 2 of M1 Mains Voltage Terminal Block, except when using the Outdoor Sensor. This may be used with a 230V control system.

16.0 Combustion
16.1 Checking the Combustion
IMPORTANT: The system MUST be completely cold to
ensure the boiler is operating under full demand. If this cannot be maintained for sufficient time to measure the gas rate, remove the diverter valve motor and Hall effect sensor and fully open a hot tap(s) to prevent the boiler switching off by reaching maximum temperature.
1. The measured CO
2
is dependent upon the length of time the boiler has operated (actual firing time, NOT CH demand time) and also if a new sensing electrode or burner has been recently fitted.
2. A new boiler (up to 100 hours operating time) or boiler with new sensing electrode or burner will give:-
Full Load 8.0 - 9.5% CO
2
Partial Load 7.0 - 8.5% CO
2
3. A boiler with over 100 hours operating time will give:-
Full & Partial Load 8.3 - 9.7% CO
2
4. Press and for 6 seconds. ‘Chimney sweep function’ will be displayed.
5. Press the Selector Button . Chimney sweep function on and the display screen will appear briefly until the screen below appears.
6. Press the Selector Button . Rotate the button either clockwise or anticlockwise until ‘Full Load’ or ‘Partial Load’ is displayed. Press the button to select.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT insert the Analyser Probe into the Test Point immediately. This will prevent saturation of the analyser. Allow the boiler to stabilise before taking any reading.
The person carrying out a combustion measurement should have been assessed as competent in the use of a flue gas analyser and the interpretation of the results.
The flue gas analyser used should be one meeting the requirements of BS7927 or BS-EN50379-3 and be calibrated in accordance with the analyser manufacturers’ requirements.

19.0 Fault Finding
19.1 Initial Fault Finding Checks
1. Check that gas, water and electrical supplies are available at the boiler.
2. Electrical supply = 230V ~ 50 Hz.
3. The preferred minimum gas pressure is 20 mbar.
4. Carry out electrical system checks, i.e. Earth Continuity, Resistance to Earth, Short Circuit and Polarity with a suitable meter.
NOTE: These checks must be repeated after any servicing or fault finding.
7. Ensure all external controls are calling for heat and check all external and internal fuses. Before any servicing or replacement of parts, ensure the gas and electrical supplies are isolated.
19.2 Error Codes
1. If a fault occurs on the boiler an error code may be shown by the facia display.
2. The codes are a flashing number, either two or three digit, preceded by the symbol :-
followed by
20, 28, 40, or 160 indicates possible faulty
components.
110 indicates overheat of the primary system water.
117 is displayed when the primary water pressure is greater
than 2.7 bar.
118 is displayed when the primary water pressure is less than
0.5 bar.
133 indicates that the gas supply has been interrupted,
ignition has failed or the flame has not been detected.
128 is displayed if there has been a flame failure during
normal operation.
125 is displayed in either of two situations:­i) If between 15 and 30 seconds of the burner lighting the boiler temperature has not changed by 1°C. ii) If within 10 minutes of the burner lighting the boiler actual temperature twice exceeds the selected temperature by 30°. In these instances poor primary circulation is indicated.
3. By 'Resetting' when:-
110, 125, 133, 128 & 384 are displayed it is possible to
relight the boiler.
4. If this does not have any effect, or the codes are displayed regularly further investigation is required.
