Building Regulations and Benchmark Commissioning
The Building Regulations (England & Wales) require that the installation of a heating appliance be notifi ed to the relevant Local Authority Building Control Department. From 1st April 2005 this can be achieved via a Competent Person Self Certifi cation Scheme as an option to notifying the Local Authority directly. Similar arrangements will follow for Scotland and will apply in Northern Ireland from 1st January 06.
CORGI operates a Self Certifi cation Scheme for gas heating appliances. These arrangements represent a change from the situation whereby compliance
with the Building Regulations was accepted if the Benchmark Logbook was completed and this was then left on site with the customer).
With the introduction of a self certifi cation scheme, the Benchmark Logbook is being replaced by a similar document in the form of a commissioning check list and a service interval record is included with all gas appliance manuals. However , the relevant Benchmark Logbook is still being included with all T hermal Storage products and unvented cylinders.
Gledhill fully supports the Benchmark aims 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 effi ciency.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Description
The BoilerMate A-Class OV shown schematically above is designed to provide improved space heating and mains pressure hot water when coupled to any remotely sited condensing or non condensing boiler.
The principle of a BoilerMate A-Class is to separate the heat generator e.g. a boiler from heat emitters (radiators) by a thermal store, which evens out the fl uctuating demands for heating and hot water.
Because this product does not require a safety discharge from a temperature and pressure relief valve, any installations will be easy to incorporate into the building and will not suffer from the problems associated with using PVCu soil stacks to take the discharge from unvented cylinders.
An important feature of this concept is that hot water can be supplied directly from the mains at conventional fl ow rates without the need for temperature and pressure relief safety valves or expansion vessels. This is achieved by passing the mains water through a plate heat exchanger . T he outlet temperature of the domestic hot water is maintained by a printed circuit board (A.C.B.), which controls the speed of the pump circulating the primary water from the store through the plate heat exchanger.
The Building Regulations L1A: New dwellings/L1B: Existing dwellings and the requirements set out in the Domestic Heating Compliance Guide specify that “where the mains water hardness exceeds 200ppm provision should be made to treat the feed water to water heaters and the hot water circuit of combination boilers to reduce the rate of accumulation of lime scale”.
To comply with this r equirement the hardness of the mains water should be checked by the installer and if necessary the optional factory fi tted electronic in-line scale inhibitor should be specifi ed at the time of order for hardness levels between 200 and 300 ppm (mg/l).
Where the water is very hard ie 300ppm (mg/l) and above the optional polyphosphate type, inhibitor should be specifi ed at the time of order. However, this will need to be
The A.C.B. also incorporates the facility to operate the heating pump for a few seconds every few days when the heating is not being used (to reduce the likelihood of the pumps sticking) as well as providing a boiler pump overrun facility.
Any automatic boiler designed to operate on an

C fl ow and a 710C return up to a maximum of 35kW can be linked to any suitable model of BoilerMate A-Class and the deciding factor is the space heating and the hot water requirements of a dwelling. See Sec tion 1.2 Technical Data for further details.
The BoilerMate A-Class OV is supplied complete with ‘Switch ’ which will provide a 6kW electrical emergency backup in case of failure of the main heat source. See section 1.3 System Details for further information.
The heat losses from thermal stores should not be directly compared with heat losses from unvented or vented cylinders because they are treated differently in SAP. The SAP calculator takes account of the type of store and various correction factors are included to refl ect the different ways that the hot water and heating operates.
For further information please request a copy of the SAP 2005 Data Sheet which provides the information required to produce SAP calculations for all Gledhill Thermal Storage products.
Gledhill are part of the ‘Benchmark’ scheme and a separate commissioning/service log book is included with the product.
A 15mm connection is provided on the primary return on all units to allow for the provision of a pumped summer use towel rail circuit if required (see page 16 for further details)
Note
The BoilerMate OV is a SYSTEM appliance and only requires a basic boiler. If a system boiler is chosen this will present wiring/ operational diffi culties as well as incurring extra costs.

Notes:-
1. The BoilerMate 225 appliance is suitable for use in large properties because it produces the same ‘ peak hour output’ as a typical 350­400 litre unvented cylinder . For properties requiring the BMA 225 the incoming main should be a minimum of 32mm MDPE with a pressure of not less than 2 bar dynamic and an adequate fl ow in line with the pipe sizing calculations. In many cases , properties of this size will benefi t from having 2 smaller sized appliances located adjacent to the areas of peak hot water use. This will allow 2 heating zones to be provided and remove the need to provide trace heating on the hot water system.
2. A plastic feed and expansion cistern will be supplied separately including ballvalve, fl oat and overfl ow fi tting.
3. The fl ow rates are based on a 35°C temperature rise and assume normal pressure and adequate fl ow to the appliance. The actual fl ow rate from the appliance is automatically regulated to a maximum of 28 litres/min.
4. Unit is supplied on a 100mm high installation base.
5. The domestic hot water outlet temperature is automatically regulated to approximat ely 52°C at the bath fl ow rate of 18 litres/min recommended by BS 6700. The temperature is not user adjustable.

1.2 TECHNICAL DATA
Appliance Control Board
The appliance control board (shown opposite) has a 2 digit display and 2 push buttons which are used to check the status of the appliance, check and set its identity and interrogate it for the current faults and the fault history.
The 2 digit display is controlled by 2 buttons S1 and S2 The fl ow chart of display modes is shown below. Generally , each pr ess of button S2 cycles the display from top to bottom and each press of button S1 cycles the display functions from left to right.
The button S2 is also used to reset the appliance i.e. clear the lockout errors and reset the appliance. (Note: Appliance resetting can also be carried out using the push button on the front panel)
Display in Normal (Standby) Mode
In the standard/normal mode the 2 digit display indicates the status of the appliance inputs and outputs by switching on the appropriate segments of the display - see page 29 for details.
Appliance Type Selection
The BoilerMate is fi tted with an identity (ID) resistor which is read by the controller for comparison with the appliance type (code) set on the controller. The two must match for the controller/appliance to function. Therefore if either the appliance code setting or the ID resistor is wrong, the appliance will shut down safely and fl ag the error code until the fault is rectified. The controller codes and the ID resistor values for the BoilerMate are 01 and 1K5 respectively. The procedure for checking and setting the appliance code on the controller is described below.
• The appliance selection menu (A0 ... A9) on the controller is hidden. It is only possible to get to the appliance selection using the reset button (Left hand, S2) on the main board.

1.3 SYSTEM DETAILS
Hot and Cold Water System
General
A schematic layout of the hot and cold water services in a typical small dwelling is shown below. BoilerMate A-Class will operate at mains pressures as low as 1 bar and as high as 5 bar although the recommended range is 2-3 bar. These pressures are the minimum dynamic pressures at the cold connection to the BoilerMate A-Class at the time of the maximum calculated simultaneous demand. If the manifolds (av ailable as an optional extra) are being used the inlet pressure to the manifold must be a minimum of 2 bar. Particular consideration should also be given to available pressures in the case of 3 storey properties. It is also important to check that all other equipment and components in the hot and cold water system are capable of accepting the mains pressure available to the property. If the mains pressure can rise above 5 bar or the maximum working pressure of any item of equipment or component to be fi tted in the system a pressure limiting (reducing) valve set to 3 bar will be required.
If you encounter a situation where the water pressure is adequate but fl ow rates are poor please contact our technical helpline for details of an effective solution.
Note: Each BoilerMate A-Class is fi tted with a strainer and fl ow regulator on the cold mains supply connection. If the supply pressure is less than 2 bar or if the manifolds (available as an optional extra) are being used or if all taps are provided with fl ow regulators the fl ow regulator on the cold inlet should be removed.
No check valve or similar device should be fi tted on the cold water supply branch to the BoilerMate A-Class.
1.0 DESIGN
To comply with this requirement the hardness of the mains water should be checked by the installer and if necessary the optional factory fi tted in-line scale inhibitor should be specifi ed at the time of order for hardness levels between 200 and 300 ppm (mg/l).
Where the water is very hard ie 300ppm (mg/l) and above the optional polyphosphate type, inhibitor should be specifi ed at the time of order. However, this will need to be fi tted by the installer at a suitable point in the cold water supply to the appliance.
If scale should ever become a problem the plate heat exchanger is easily isolated and quickly replaced with a service exchange unit which can be obtained at a nominal cost from Gledhill.
The hot water fl ow rate from the BoilerMate A-Class is directly related to the adequacy of the cold water supply to the dwelling. This must be capable of providing for those services, which could be r equired to be supplied simultaneously, and this maximum demand should be calculated using procedures defi ned in BS 6700.
The Building Regulations L1A: New dwellings/L1B: Existing dwellings and the requirements set out in the Domestic Heating Compliance Guide specify that “where the mains water hardness exceeds 200ppm provision should be made to treat the feed water to water heaters and the hot water circuit of combination boilers to reduce the rate of accumulation of lime scale”.

Hot and Cold Water System
Pipe Sizing / Materials
1.0 DESIGN
To achieve even distribution of the available supply of hot and cold water, it is important in any mains pressure system, that the piping in a dwelling should be sized in accordance with BS 6700. This is particularly important in a large propert y with more than one bathroom.
However, the following rule of thumb guide lines should be adequate for most smaller property types as long as water pressures are within the recommended range of 2-3 bar.
1. A 15mm copper or equivalent external service may be suffi cient for a small 1bathroom dwelling (depending upon the fl ow rate available), but the minimum recommended size for new dwellings is 22mm (25mm MDPE). For the BMA 225 model we recommend a 28mm (32mm MDPE) supply pipe.
2. The internal cold feed from the main incoming stop tap to the BoilerMate
should be run in 22mm pipe. The cold main and hot draw-off should also be run in 22mm as far as the branch to the bath tap.
3. The fi nal branches to the hand basins and sinks should be in 10mm and to
the baths and showers in 15mm. (1 metre minimum)
4. If an ex ternal hose tap is provided this should be branched in 15mm pipework
from the cold pipework as near to the incoming mains as possible.
5. We would recommend that best results for a balanced system are achieved
by fi tting appropriate fl ow regulators to each hot and cold outlet. This is particularly relevant where the water pressures are above the recommended water pressure range of 2-3 bar , or the dwelling is 3 store y . Details of suitable fl ow regulators are provided in Appendix A.
Note: If manifolds (available as an optional extra) are being used suitable fl ow regulators are automatically provided in the manifold and do not need to be provided at each outlet - See Appendix B for further details.
All the recommendations with regard to pipework systems in this manual are generally based on the use of BS/EN Standard copper pipework and fi ttings.
However , we are happy that plastic pipework systems can be used in place of copper internally as long as the chosen system is recommended for use on domestic hot and cold water systems by the manufacturer and is installed fully in accordance with their recommendations.
However , if it is proposed to use a ‘whole body’ or similar shower with a number of high fl ow/ pressure outlets please discuss with the Gledhill technical department.
The hot water supply to a shower-mixing valve should be fed wherever practical directly from the BoilerMate A-Class or be the fi rst draw­off point on the hot circuit. The cold supply to a shower-mixing valve should wherever practical be fed directly from the rising mains via an independent branch. The shower must incorporate or be fitted with the necessary check valves to provide back-syphonage protection in accordance with the Water Regulations. The supply of hot and cold mains water directly to a bidet is permitted provided that it is of the over-rim fl ushing t ype and that a type ‘A’ air gap is incorporated.
Hot and Cold Water System.
If the length of the hot water draw off pipework is excessive the delivery time may be unacceptable before hot water is available at the tap, you may wish to c onsider using trace heating to the hot water pipework such as the Raychem HWAT system. Please consult Gledhill Technical Department for further details.
It is important that the cold water pipework is adequately separated/protected from any heating/hot water pipework to ensure that the water remains cold and of drinking water quality.
It is also essential that if an alternative pipework material/system is chosen the manufacturer confi rms that the design criteria of the new system is at least equivalent to the use of BS/EN Standard copper pipework and fi ttings.
Taps/Shower Fittings
Aerated taps are recommended to prevent splashing.
Any type of shower mixing valve can be used as long as both the hot and cold supplies are mains fed. However, all mains pressure systems are subject to dynamic changes particularly when other hot and cold taps/showers are opened and closed, which will cause changes in the water temperature at mixed water outlets such as showers. For this reason and because these are now no more expensive than a manual shower we strongly r ecommend the use of thermostatic showers with this appliance. These must be used in 3 storey properties where the impact on pressure/temperature of opening another tap in the system is greater than normal. The shower head provided must also be suitable for mains pressure supplies.

General
A schematic layout of the heating system in a typical small dwelling is shown opposite.
The flow and return from the boiler must always run directly to the BoilerMate A-Class and the flow should rise continuously to facilitate venting. The heating circuit is taken from the BoilerMate A-Class and is piped in the conventional manner.
The BoilerMate A-Class is only suitable for an open vented system.
The F & E cistern can be fi tted remotely up to 6 m above the base of the BoilerMate A-Class i.e. the maximum static pressure in the store must not exceed 0.6 bar.
If any radiators are located above the level of the BoilerMate A-Class the system should be designed so that gravity circulation does not occur when the heating pump is not running. To be certain of preventing this it is recommended that a check valve, or v alves, ar e fi tted on the vertical fl ow pipes.
The water level in the F & E cistern should be at least 250mm above the highest point on the system including the radiators and must be high enough to provide the minimum head required by the boiler being used.
The boiler manufacturer’s instructions with regard to minimum head must always be followed. This is particularly important in situations where the headroom is restricted (e.g. in a fl at).
Range rated boilers can be used but should always be set at the highest output. The system effi ciency will not be impaired while the recovery rate will be improved.
It is not necessary to provide a boiler bypass on the primary circuit (i.e. betw een the boiler and the thermal store.)

Pipe Sizing/Materials
The primary pipework connecting the boiler and the thermal store should be sized to achieve a maximum of 8°C rise across the boiler or the maximum temperature rise specifi ed by the boiler manufacturer, whichever is smaller, but in any instanc e it should not be less than 22mm copper tube.
Note: There should be no valves in the pipework connecting the boiler to the BoilerMate A-Class.
The heating circuit operates on the normal primary boiler temperatures i.e. 82°C fl ow and 71°C return. Therefore any traditional hot water radiators or convectors can be used with this system and no special over-sizing of the heat emitters is necessary.
All the recommendations with regard to pipework systems in this manual are generally based on the use of BS/EN Standard copper pipework and fi ttings.
However, we are happy that plastic pipework systems can be used in place of copper internally as long as the chosen system is recommended for use on domestic heating systems by the manufacturer and is installed fully in accordance with their recommendations. We always recommend the use of barrier pipe for these systems.
It is also essential that if an alternative pipework material/system is chosen the manufacturer confirms that the design criteria of the new system is at least equivalent to the use of BS/EN Standard copper pipework and fi ttings.
Boiler Size
It is only necessary to calculate the heating requirements in accordance with BS 5449. The allowances shown below should be added for domestic hot water. The control system automatically gives priority to hot water when necessary.

Any boiler used must be fi tted with an overheat thermostat i.e. it must be suitable for use in a sealed system.
The F & E cistern must be fi tted at a height which will provide the minimum head required for the boiler and must be at least 250mm above the highest point of the system.
The height of the water level in the F & E cistern from the base of the store should be no greater than 6m.
A gravity check valve should be fi tted in the boiler return pipework to prevent gravity circulation between the BoilerMate A-Class and the boiler during dormant periods.
An automatic air vent will be required on the flow adjacent to the boiler and depending upon the pipe layout a manual air vent may also be required on the return adjacent to the boiler

Connection of Bathroom Radiator/
Towel-Rail for Summer use
If a pumped circuit is required for the bathroom radiator/towel rail, the fl ow pipework can be teed anywhere into the primary fl ow between the boiler and the BoilerMate. The return pipework can be connected into the 15mm copper blanked connection provided adjacent to the boiler pump. We recommend any radiators/towel rails on this circuit are provided with T .R.V . ’ s and that the total heat output of the radiators/towel rails is not more than the fi gure quoted in the table on page 5.
The radiators will only get hot when the boiler is fi ring.
It is important that the fl ow rates through these radiators is adjusted to the minimum required at the lockshield valves on the radiators. If this is not done the performance of the BoilerMate will be adversely affected.
The height of the water level in the F & E cistern must provide the minimum head required by the boiler and must be at least 250mm higher than the highest point of the system.
Alternatively, if full time control is required of the Summer/Towel rail circuits these can be piped as a separate zone from the main heating circuit with their own zone valve and programmable room thermostat as shown in Section 2.2 Installation, Zoned Heating Systems.

Method of connecting two BoilerMates to one heat source.
If the primary fl ow and return pipework continuously rises from the boiler to the BoilerMate the recommended method for connecting two BoilerMates to one heat source is to fi t the BoilerMates as normal but to provide a single check valve on the branch immediately after each primary pump - see diagram below.
The heating and hot water from each appliance must serve separate zones/bathrooms within the property.
The electrical supplies from each appliance to the boiler will need twinning so that the boiler will operate on a call from either/both appliances.
Both primary pumps and the primary pipework sizes should be checked to ensure that they are adequate for the system that has been installed. If necessary an extra pump should be fi tted on the common primary return pipework - see diagram below.
The BoilerMate A-Class appliances will not be suitable if the primary pipework dips or the boiler is located above the BoilerMate.

Full details of the electrical requirements are provided in Section 2.1 Site Requirements and
2.2 Installation. ‘Switch’ will be activated by moving the mode
rocker located on the front control panel into the ‘switch’ position (see diagram opposite). This replaces the function of the external boiler with the internal electric emergency boiler. The programming of space heating and store charging is still controlled by the clock and the hot water and central heating control rockers.
For emergency hot water only put the mode rocker into ‘Switch’ position, the hot water control rocker in the constant position and the central heating rocker to off.
For emergency hot water and heating put the mode rocker into ‘Switch’ position and the hot water and central heating control rockers in the constant position.

2.1 SITE REQUIREMENTS
2.0 INSTALLATION
The appliance is designed to be installed in an airing/cylinder cupboard and the relevant minimum dimensions are provided in section 1.2 Technical Data.
Because of the ease of installation we recommend that the cupboard construction is completed and painted before installation of the appliance. The cupboard door can be fi tted after installation.
If the unit needs to be stored prior to installation it should be stored upright in a dry environment and on a level base/fl oor.
Installation and maintenance access is needed to the front of the appliance and above the F & E cistern. See Technical Data section for further details.
The minimum dimensions contained in section 1.2 Technical Data allow for the passage/connection of pipes under the appliance from any direction as long as the appliance is installed on the installation base provided. If the installation base is not used extra space may be needed to allow connection to the pipework and the whole of the base area should be continuously supported on a material which will not easily deteriorate if exposed to moisture.
The fl oor of the cupboard needs to be level and even and capable of supporting the weight of the appliance when full. D etails of the weight when full is provided in section 1.2 Technical Data.
The appliance is designed to operate as quietly as practicable. However, some noise (from pumps etc) is inevitable in any heating system. This will be most noticeable in cupboards formed on bulkheads, or at the mid span of a suspended fl oor. In these cases the situation can be improved by placing the appliance on a suitable sound deadening material (i.e. carpet underlay or similar).
An electrical supply must be available which is correctly earthed, polarized and in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE requirements for electrical Installations BS 7671.
The electrical mains supply needs to be 230V/50Hz.
A means for disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provides full disconnection under over voltage category III conditions must be incorporated in the fi xed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules. This shall be located within 1m of the appliance and only serve the appliance.
The minimum breaking capacity of the main isolator cable sizes/lengths at 230V shall follow the recommendations in the table shown opposite.
If the boiler incorporates a frost thermostat an extra 3 core 3 amp supply cable will be required between the boiler and the BoilerMate to provide a supply to the boiler pump - see 2.2 Electrical Connection for further details.
Cupboard temperatures will normally be higher than in a conventional system and the design of the cupboard and door will need to take this into account. No ventilation is normally required to the cupboard.
A suitable location will be needed for the separate feed and expansion cistern. This will often be at high level in the cupboard housing the BoilerMate A-Class. The dimensions and clearances are provided in section 1.2 Technical Data. The location will need to provide a suitable route for the cold feed and expansion pipe as well as the open safety vent pipe. The location will also need to provide a suitable route and discharge position for the warning/overfl ow pipe and the ballvalve supply from the mains cold water system.

Preparation/placing the appliance in position.
Details of the recommended positions for termination of the first fix pipework are provided in section 1.2 Technical Data. The pipework can be located or its position checked using the template provided with each appliance. If these have been followed installation is very simple and much quicker than any other system.
The appliance is supplied shrink wrapped on a timber installation base. Carrying handles are also provided in the back of the casing.
The feed and expansion cistern complete with ballvalve, cold feed/expansion and overfl ow/ warning fittings are provided in a separate box. If fl exible connections have been ordered these will also be inside the feed and expansion cistern.
The appliance should be handled carefully to avoid damage and the recommended method is shown opposite. Before installation the site requirements should be checked and confirmed as acceptable. The plastic cover and protective wrapping should be removed from the appliance and the installation base (provided) and placed in position.
The appliance can then be lifted into position in the cupboard on top of the base and the front panel removed by unscrewing the 2 screws and lifting the door up and out, ready for connection of the pipework and electrical supplies. The feed and expansion cistern support shall be installed ensuring that the base is fully supported and the working head of the appliance is not exceeded and the recommended access is provided for maintenance - see section 1.2 Technical Data. For further information on manual handling See Appendix D.
Note: Although the abov e guidance is provided any manual handling/lifting operations will need to comply with the requirements of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations issued by the H.S.E.
The appliance can be moved using a sack truck on the rear face although care should be taken and the route should be even.
In apartment buildings containing a number of storeys we would recommend that the appliances are moved vertically in a mechanical lift.
If it is proposed to use a crane expert advice should be obtained regarding the need for slings, lifting beams etc.

2.2 INSTALLATION
It is normally envisaged that the feed and expansion cistern will be located in the same cupboard as the BoilerMate appliance itself to maintain a dry roof space.
The cold feed/open vent pipework assembly (as supplied) should be used if it is intended to install the F & E cistern directly on top of the appliance
However, if it is necessary to locate the cistern in the roof space (or on a higher floor) the cold feed/open vent pipework assembly (as supplied) should be used to connect to the F & E cistern and pipework site run by the installer to connect this to the appliance.
Note: When fi tting the cistern at higher level this must not be fi tted more than 6 meters above the base of the BoilerMate A-Class appliance.
Cold feed / open vent

Interconnecting
Pipework
(By Installer)
Obviously, any pipework in the roof space and the feed and expansion cistern will need to be adequately insulated to protect against frost damage.
Combined feed and open vent pipe arrangements must not be used.
No valves should be fi tted in the safety open vent which must be a minimum of 22mm copper pipe or equivalent.
The overflow/warning pipe shall have a continuous fall, be fitted to discharge clear of the building and be sited so that any Overfl ow can be easily observed. I t shall also be installed in a size and material suitable for use with heating feed and expansion cisterns in accordance with BS 5449 and should not have any other connections to it.

The BoilerMate A-Class incorporates a pump overrun for the boiler pump and terminal L2 on the terminal strip (as shown on page 23) should only be used if the boiler requires a permanent live for another purpose.
The boiler manufacturers wiring instructions should be read in conjunction with this manual.
Before switching on the electrical supply check all the factory made terminal connections to ensure they have not become loose during transit.
Frost Protection
When frost protection is required for the whole house or where a base temperature is required during cold weather the central heating and hot water control rocker switches should be put in the constant position and the room thermostat adjusted to a suitable setting.
When the location of the boiler means that frost protection is required for the boiler circuit only a frost thermostat and pipe mounted thermostat should be fi tted in the normal way and wired back to the special terminal provided in the appliance as shown below.

Zoned heating systems
BoilerMate is available in a no clock/multi-zone version for use where a property has to have its space heating zoned. Where this appliance version is to be used it is recommended that the BoilerMate is located on a raised platform in the cupboard creating a space below the appliance to locate the zoning equipment. The recommended height of the platform from the fl oor is 250mm. The platform must be constructed in a material that will not easily deteriorate if exposed to moisture. It must also be capable of supporting the weight of the appliance when full. Details of the weight when full is provided in section 1.2 Technical Data.
Connecting the zones to the BoilerMate.
The space heating fl ow should be taken from the BoilerMate connection into the space below the platform. The fl ow can now be split into the appropriate amount of zones and a controlling zone valve fitted to each branch. Each flow can then be piped to its radiator zone and the heating return brought back to the space below the platform. The heating returns can now be connected together before a single connection is made to the heating return on the BoilerMate.

2.3 COMMISSIONING
Open the incoming stop valve and fill the domestic mains cold and hot water systems.
Fill the whole of the primary heating system with potable water through the feed and expansion cistern.
Check the water level in the feed and expansion cistern and adjust the ballvalve if necessary.
Check the whole of the primary heating and domestic hot and cold distribution system, including the boiler and BoilerMate OV, for leaks.
It is essential that all systems function properly for optimum performance. To achiev e this, the primary system should be commissioned in accordance with good
practice and generally in accordance with the requirements of BS 6798, BS 5449 and BS 7593.
Full details of the requirements are given in PAS 33:1999 under Section 10 Commissioning.

When using either cleansing or corrosion inhibitor chemical, the manufacturers instructions must be followed.
Cleansing the Primary System
When determining the quantity of cleanser required, be sure to allow for the increased volume of water in the primary circuit due to the thermal store - see section 1.2 T echnical data for volumes.
In most cases the quantities shown opposite will be adequate for up to a typical 3/4 bedroom property.
Primary Water System T reatment
Although the BoilerMate has no special water treatment requirements, the radiators and other parts of the circuit will benefi t from the application of a scale and corrosion inhibitor such as Sentinel X100 or a Protector such as Fernox MB1.
When determining the quantity of inhibitor required, be sure to allow for the increased volume of water in the primary circuit due to the thermal store - see section 1.2 Technical Data for volumes.
In most cases the quantities shown opposite will be suitable for up to a typical 3/4 bed property.
POWERFLUSHING/CLEANING OF THE HEA TING SYSTEM
If it is proposed to ‘powerfl ush’ the heating system we would recommend that the BoilerMate appliance is isolated from the heating system being cleaned. F ailure to do this could seriously damage the appliance.
When carrying out the work always comply fully with the manufacturers instructions for the powerfl ushing equipment being used.
If in any doubt please consult our Technical Helpline.

2.0 INSTALLATION
2.3 COMMISSIONING
Once the system is fi nally fi lled turn down the servicing valve for the ballvalve in the F & E cistern to the point where the warning/overfl ow will cope with the discharge arising from a ballvalve failure.
Cleansing Hot/Cold Water System Treatment
Fully fl ush and if necessary chlorinate the hot and cold water system in accordance with the recommendations in the Model Water Byelaws and BS 6700.
Note: Incorrect chlorination will damage the plate heat e xchanger so car e must be taken that the system is fully fl ushed.
Commissioning the BoilerMate control system
For maximum system effi ciency the store thermostat must be in control of the boiler i.e. the boiler c ycles on the store thermostat and not on its integral thermostat. The BoilerMate control system will automatically commission itself to match the actual performance of the installed boiler. However the operation of the control system should be checked as follows.

(a) Check that the BoilerMate front panel mode rocker is in the ‘normal’ position. Put the hot water control rocker in the constant position and the central heating control rocker in the off position.
(b) The boiler will not start i.e there will be no 240V ac start signal at BoilerMate terminal ‘SL-B’ until:-
• The heating programmer calls for hot water /heating which will bring display segment V1.1 on, and
• Store sensors are calling for heat which will bring display segments H1.1 and H1.2 on (see opposite)
(c) Set the boiler thermostat to maximum and commission the boiler as per manufacturer’s instructions and ensure that the flow temperature reaches more than 77oC before switching off. Display segments H2.3 and V2.1 will be on whilst the boiler is fi ring.
(d) Check and adjust the speed of the boiler pump to provide a differential temperature of about 11ºC across the fl ow and return when the space heating is off.
(e) Check on the A.C.B. that the appliance reaches a suitable temperature ie above 75ºC

Dra w a bath full of hot water from the appliance to lower the temperature and bring ‘switch’ into operation.
This is easily checked with the aid of a clamp meter that should show a current drawn of around 26 amp. If a suitable meter is not available a bath full of hot water should be drawn from the appliance after which the store temperature should be noted. With no further demand a rise in store temperature of 5 – 10 in about 15-20 minutes (dependent on store size) should be observed. Display segment V2.2 will be on whilst ‘Switch’ is working. Once it has been proved that ‘ switch’ is working move the mode rocker switch back to the normal position.

2.3 COMMISSIONING
2.0 INSTALLATION
Commissioning Space Heating
(a) The central heating is best commissioned when the store is hot and therefore should be carried out after commissioning the BoilerMate.
(b) Move the central heating control rocker to the constant position, set heating programmer to continuous and ensure that the room thermostat is calling for heat. This will be indicated by display segments V1.3 and V1.4 being on respectively. The BoilerMate controller will now:-
• Turn on the central heating pump and this will be indicated by display segment H2.2 being lit.
(c) Wait until the heating cir cuit has reached its normal temperature before balancing the system in the usual way to achieve a temperature drop of about 10
(d) Set the programmer and room thermostat as per manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the appliance and ensure that the programmer instructions along with the user instructions for the appliance are left with the user.
Commissioning Domestic Hot Water System
(a) When the store is hot, open a hot water tap nearest to the appliance at approximately 6 litres/minute. After about 2 – 3 seconds, the plate heat exchanger pump will start. This is indicated on the A.C.B. by display segment H2.1.
(b) The hot water fl ow temperature should settle at about 52ºC. Close this tap and open the hot bath tap at maximum fl ow rate and record the fl ow rate and the hot water temperature in the ‘Benchmark’ logbook.
o
C.
These Instructions should be placed along with the component manufacturers instructions in the pocket provided on the rear of the front panel. The front panel should then be refi tted.
Important Do’s and Don’ts
1. DO check the incoming mains water pressure and fl ow rate are adequate. (The preferred range of mains pressure is 2-3bar).
2. DO check that all connections are in accordance with the labelling on the thermal store.
3. DO adjust the ballvalve so that the water level in the F & E cistern when the system is cold is correct and does not overfl ow when the whole of the system is at maximum temperature.
4. DO make sure that there is adequate clearance above the F & E cistern to service the ballvalve.
5. DO ensure that the range rated appliances are set at the highest output and the boiler thermostat is set to maximum for all boilers.
(c) Close the hot water tap(s) and after few seconds, the plate heat exchanger pump will stop running and display segment H2.1 will turn off.
(d) It is recommended that the hot water rocker is left on constant so that hot water is always av ailable. The cen tral heating rocker should be left on timed and the clock set to control the times heating is required.
Hand over to User
(a) Explain the system and the BoilerMate appliance controls to the user. (b) Explain how to operate the heating and hot water controls to the user . This should include setting ‘ on ’ and ‘off’ times and the r oom temperature on the room thermostat as well as the use of thermostatic radiator valves.

3.2 CHANGING COMPONENTS
Free of charge replacements for any faulty components are available from Gledhill during the in-warranty period (normally 12 months).
After this, spares should be obtained direct from Gledhill using the ‘Speed Spares’ service, or through any of the larger plumbers merchants/ specialist heating spares suppliers.
Help and advice is also available from the Technical Helpline on 08449 310000.
However , all components are readily accessible and can be changed quickly and easily by the installer using common plumbing practice.
Note: The pump is a Grundfos UPR 4 wire type and any replacement must be the same model, obtained direct from Gledhill. Failure to do this will affect the hot water performance.
This type of pump is also available as an option for the boiler and heating pumps. Be sure to check this and replace on a like for like basis.

3.4 FAULT FINDING
3.0 SERVICING
Despite everyones best efforts some problems could occur and lead to complaints from the householder.
Complaints can be grouped into the following three main categories:-
1. The system is noisy
2. Hot water service is unsatisfactory
3. Space heating is unsatisfactory The following checks should be carried out by the installer before calling the
manufacturer.
1. Causes of a ‘Noisy’ System
Noisy pump operation Check the level of water in the F & E cistern - adjust and vent the pump/system if necessary. Check the pump speed setting of the boiler pump - reduce if necessary but ensure that the temperature rise across the boiler does not exceed 8°C. Check the pump speed setting of the heating pump - reduce if necessary but ensure a temperature difference across the fl ow and return does not exceed 11°C.
Check and adjust if necessary the heating system bypass valve. Check that the radiators are correctly balanced.
Noisy boiler operation Check the fl ow rate through the boiler at full gas rate by measuring the temperature rise across the boiler. If the temperature rise is greater than 8°C, then increase the pump speed.
Check the level of water in the F & E cistern and the working head on the boiler. Check and vent the system if necessary.
Noise when hot water tap is opened If the plate heat exchanger pump is noisy when the hot water tap is opened, then check the level of water in the F & E cistern and vent the pump if necessary. Water hammer - loose pipework and/or tap washers.
3. Causes of ‘Unsatisfactory Space Heating’ Check the boiler thermostat - this should be
set at maximum. Check that the boiler fl ow temperature before it is turned off by its own internal thermostat or the store sensor is adequate - it should not be less than 77°C. Check the operation and the settings of the heating programmer and the room thermostat. Check that the heating system pump is circulating the water to the radiator circuit. If some rooms are not being heated properly, then balance the system/check the operation of the thermostatic radiator valves (if fi tted).
Overfl ow from Feed and Expansion Cistern Check that the controlled level of water in the
cistern is no higher than necessary. Adjust if required.
POWERFLUSHING/CLEANING OF THE HEATING SYSTEM
If it is proposed to ‘powerfl ush’ the heating system we would recommend that the BoilerMate appliance is isolated from the heating system being cleaned. Failure to do this could seriously damage the appliance.
When carrying out the work always comply fully with the manufacturers instructions for the powerfl ushing equipment being used.
2. Causes of ‘Unsatisfactory Hot Water Service’ Check that the BoilerMate is full of water i.e. level of water in the F & E cistern is
correct when system is cold.
Check boiler thermostat - this should be set at maximum. Check that the boiler fl ow temperature is adequate when it stops fi ring. Boilers should
provide a fl ow temperature of 82 ± 3°C but temperatures as low as 75°C will allow the BoilerMate A-Class to provide a satisfactory performance.
Check that the store is charging to at least 75°C. Check that the hot water plate heat exchanger pump stops and starts when the
hot water tap is opened and closed.
Check that the plate heat exchanger pump is set at maximum speed. Check that the space heating and hot water load is not greater than the boiler output
and that the BoilerMate A-Class model is suitable for the type of dwelling. If all the above checks are satisfactory then it is possible that the performance of the heat exchanger is impaired by scale. In this case the hot water fl ow rate will be noticeably less than the cold water fl ow rate. Replace with a factory exchange unit and re-check hot water performance.
If in any doubt please consult our Technical Helpline.
Note: If the A.C.B. board is replaced it will need setting to the appliance type - see pages 9 and 10 for further details.
The system controls/operation should then be checked.
If the problem cannot be resolved the switch emergency electric backup should be switched on and operated in accordance with the instructions on the label fi tted to the appliance until the installer/manufacturer can attend.
When requesting a visit from the manufacturer the installer must have the completed ‘Benchmark’ commissioning/ service record sheet to hand to enable help to be provided.

The arrangement of each manifold is supplied as shown. This provides the best balance of flows but the flow regulators/duty of each branch can be changed if required as long as a reasonable balance is maintained. If it is necessary to change or clean the fl ow regulator this can be done without needing to drain the system by closing the valve and removing the screwed cover below the white plastic cover.
The manifolds are designed to be used with plastic pipework and are supplied complete with isolation valves and flow regulators on each branch. They would normally be installed in the same cupboard as the thermal storage appliance (as shown below) but can be installed in another cupboard close to the appliance if required.

The pressure loss through a flow regulator at the designated fl ow rate is about 1.8 bar. Therefore for the fl ow regulator to control the fl ow rate at pre-set level, the inlet pressure must be greater than 1.8 bar. If the inlet pressure is lower, the fl ow rate will be correspondingly less than the pre-set values.
The maximum equivalent pipe lengths from the manifold to the terminal fi ttings can be estimated from the above information and the resistance characteristics of the pipes. The examples presented below are for 15mm copper pipe in table 1 and for plastic pipework in table 2.

Inhibitor (Corr osion & scale protection
of primary heating cir cuit)
On filling the heating system and before the boiler is fired up, it is important to ensure the system water is treated with a suitable corrosion inhibitor, in accordance with the boiler manufacturer’s instructions.
Since the concentration of inhibitor present in a system can become diluted, for a number of dif ferent reasons, the system should be checked annually and r e-treated as r equired, or after ever y full or partial drain-down. A water treatment manufactur er’s test kit may be used to check the correct concentration of inhibitor in the system.
Where recommended by a boiler manufacturer, a ‘physical corrosion protection device’ may be fitted in the primary pipework in accordance with the boiler manufacturer’s instructions.
The Benchmark log book should be completed indicating the date and details of any of the above products added and a permanent label should be fixed to the system in a prominent location.
3
Scale protection
(Domestic hot water service)
Where a combi boiler and/or a hot water storage vessel is installed in areas where the mains water can exceed 200ppm Total Hardness (as defined by BS 7593: 1993 Table 2) a scale reduction device should be installed, in accordance with the boiler manufacturer’s instr uctions.
The levels of water hardness may be measured using a water hardness test kit.
BUILDING REGULATIONS
Completion of the BENCHMARK log book requires that the ‘competent person’ undertaking the installation and commissioning provide information relating to Cleaning, Inhibitor and Scale Pr otection. This will demonstrate that the work complies with the requirements of the appropriate Building Regulations.

APPENDIX D
MANUAL HANDLING OF APPLIANCE PRODUCTS
Description
Manual handling means any transporting or supporting of a load (including lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving) by hand or bodily force.
Scope
This assessment will cover the largest Appliance, namely ElectraMate, GulfStream, BoilerMate, SysteMate, PulsaCoil, Accolade and Stainless Lite manufactured by Gledhill.
The maximum weight of the largest product in each range is 98kg and the size is 595 x 595 x 2020 mm high.
Main Hazards
Vision may not be clear due to the size of the products. Adopting an incorrect method of lifting may cause injury, attempting to lift these products will require help from others. ( Team lifts)
Control Measures
Manual lifting procedure
The lift, key factors in safe lifting are:
a. Balance b. Position of back c. Positioning of the arms and body d. The hold e. Taking the lead for team lifts
a. Balance - Since balance depends essentially upon the position of the feet,
they should be apart about hip breadth with one foot advanced giving full balance sideways and forward without tension. In taking up this position, lifting is done by bending at the knees instead of the hips and the muscles that are brought into use are those of the thigh and not the back.
b. Position of back - Straight - not necessary vertical. The spine must be
kept rigid, this coupled with a bent knee position, allows the centre line of gravity of the body to be over the weight so reducing strain.
e. Taking the lead for team lifts- As
more than one person is required for these products ensure that one
person is taking the lead. This may be you so ensure that each person
that is helping is made aware of the weight and of the items listed within this assessment. Make sure you and any others helping know the route you intend to take that it is clear of any obstructions. Never jerk the load as this will add a little extra force and can cause severe strain to the arms, back and shoulders. If there are steps involved decide on where you will stop and take a rest period. Move smoothly and in unison taking care to look and listen to others helping with the lift. Where possible use a sack truck to move the product over long flat distances, only lift the products when necessary. If in doubt stop and get more help. The unit handles and packaging with the pallet have been designed to ensure that two-four people can assist when lifting up stairs or over longer distance.
Individual capability
Individual capability plays an important part in handling these products. Persons above average build and strength will find it easier and should be in good health. Persons below average build and strength may require more rest periods during the handling process. Pregnant women should not carry out this operation. Persons who are not in good health should seek medical advice prior to commencing any lifting or manual handling operation.
Residual risk
c. Positioning of arms and body - The further arms are away from the side,
the greater the strain on the shoulders, chest and back. Keep elbows close to the body arms should be straight.
d. The hold - Before lifting ensure you have a good hold. Two handles are
provided on Appliance products at the top rear side, these allow one or two persons to have a purposely-designed hold at the top of the appliance to ensure easy lifting at the top of the product. Each appliance is supplied with a pallet, which has been attached to the unit via the packaging. The pallet will also allow for one or two persons to get a good hold.
Following the guidelines given above will reduce any risk to injury. All persons carrying out this operation must be fully trained and copies of the specific risk assessment made available for inspection and use in their training process.
Further guidance on Manual Handling can be obtained from the Health and Safety Executive. Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
