MODENA 80 E
1. DESCRIPTION
1.01 Introduction
The Modena 80 E is defined as a “room sealed” combination boiler, all air required for combustion is taken from
outside the room in which it is installed. It is a new high performance gas fired heat generator for central heating and
domestic hot water production. A special feature of this boiler is its built-in electronic flame ignition and control unit
making burner operation completely automatic and safe. The main components are as follows:
• Copper heat exchanger consisting of three finned tubes specifically shaped for high efficiency.
• There are three copper coils inserted in the three heating circuit tubes. These represent the domestic hot water
heat exchanger. Their shape and high exchange surface area enable the full output of the boiler to be absorbed.
• Ceramic fibre insulated combustion chamber
• 12 stainless steel bladed burners specifically designed for this boiler.
• Fan for discharge of combustion products and intake of combustion air.
• Differential air pressure switch. For safety reasons, this ensures the burner ignites only when the fan is functioning correctly.
• Hermetically sealed compartment made from corrosion-resistant steel enclosing the above components.
• Combination gas safety valve with modulator, complete with pressure stabiliser.
• Flowmeter giving the domestic hot water circuit precedence over the central heating circuit.
• Pressure relief valve for the central heating circuit set to open at 3 bar.
• Built-in Expansion vessel.
• Variable speed pump.
• Central heating flow temperature adjustment thermostat.
• Domestic hot water flow temperature adjustment thermostat.
• Central heating limit thermostat.
• Overheat safety thermostat.
• Electronic control unit for automatic flame ignition and control.
• Central heating low water pressure cut off switch.
• Domestic hot water flow temperature sensor.
• Central heating flow temperature sensor.

2.04 Central heating adjustment (not normally required)
To adjust boiler heat input (thus also regulating heat output to the central heating water) simply adjust the main
burner via the electronic control board (fig. 4 and 5).
The diagrams indicate the variation in heat output to the water as burner working pressure is varied.
Adjusting boiler output to the actual requirements of the central heating system will minimise boiler cycling thus
saving fuel, varying the output has virtually no effect on the efficiency and combustion characteristics of the boiler.

3. INSTALLATION DETAILS
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1996
In the interest of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance with
the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of Practice, current I.E.E.
Regulations and the byelaws of the Local Water Undertaking. Failure to comply with the Regulations may lead to
prosecution; it is your responsibility to ensure that the law is complied with.
N.B. For Northern Ireland the rules in force apply.
Important - If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should be fitted in accordance with the Institute
of Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7. If in doubt advice should be sought from the Local Supplier.
Location of Boiler
The installation of the Modena 80E must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearing wall which will provide an
adequate fixing for the boiler mounting bracket assembly. The location should be in an area where the water pipes
will not be subjected to frost conditions. In siting the combination boiler the following limitations must be observed:
The combination boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn to the
requirements of the current I.E.E. wiring regulations and in Scotland the electrical provisions of the building
regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the combination boiler in a room or internal
space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower any electrical switch or appliance
control utilising mains electricity must be situated so that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower.
Air Supply
The room or compartment in which the boiler is installed does not require a purpose provided vent when using the
standard concentric flue.
Flue System
The boiler allows the flue outlet to be taken from the rear of the boiler, from either side or vertically.
A standard flue length of 0.75 metres is provided. Alternative lengths of two or three metres can be supplied
(equivalent to wall thicknesses of up to 565, 1815 and 2815mm for rear flues, deduct 91mm plus distance from side
wall for side outlet flues). It is absolutely essential, to ensure that products of combustion discharging from the
terminal cannot re-enter the building, or enter any adjacent building, through ventilations, windows, doors, natural
air infiltration or forced ventilation/air conditioning.
Gas Supply
If necessary the local Gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to establish the
availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the Local Gas supplier.
A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas supplier, or by a Local Gas suppliers Contractor.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS6891-1988.
Appliance inlet working pressure must be 20mbar MINIMUM, for NG and 37 mbar minimum for LPG.
Pipework from the meter to the combination boiler must be of an adequate size.
The boiler requires 2.73m3/h of natural gas, and 2,00 kg/h of LPG.
Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the combination boiler inlet gas connection.
The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness and purged as described in BS6981-1988. All pipework
must be adequately supported. An isolating gas valve is provided and should be fitted on the boiler gas inlet. Please
wait 10 minutes when lighting from cold before checking gas rate. Gas pressures should be checked after the boiler
has operated for 10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium.
Water System
Note - the boiler is designed for sealed systems only and must NOT be used on open vented systems.
9
MODENA 80 E
Central Heating
Detailed recommendations are given in BS6798, BS5449, BS6700 and CP342 Part 2. Pipework not forming part of
the useful heating surface should be insulated to prevent any heat losses or possible freezing (i.e. in roof spaces or
ventilated underfloor spaces). Drain taps should be positioned at the lowest point of the system in accessible
locations to permit the whole system to be drained down. The drain taps should be in accordance with BS2879.
Copper tubing to BS2871, Part 1 is recommended for water carrying pipework. Pipework in horizontal runs should
have a gradient where possible to facilitate the removal of air. Ensure that the boiler heat exchanger is not a natural
point for air collection. A typical heating system with domestic hot water circuit is illustrated in fig. 9.
Important - If thermostatic radiator vales are fitted a bypass must be fitted to ensure a minimum flow rate through
the boiler of 6 l/min. The bypass should be fitted as far as possible from the boiler.
Make Up Water
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798, for
methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's central
heating system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to charge and pressurise the system directly,
is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaws. Again any such connection must be disconnected after use. A typical
temporary filling loop is shown in fig. 10.
Domestic Hot Water
Always fit a scale reducer in "hard water areas" (18 clarke degrees or over)". A 15mm copper connection point on
the boiler for attaching to the main supply is provided. The maximum domestic water pressure for the inlet supply
is 10 bar (145 P.S.I.). If the cold mains supply exceeds 5 bar (72 P.S.I.), a water governor or pressure reducingvalve must be fitted by the installer into the mains supply in an inconspicuous but accessible position preferable
between 3 and 5 metres (10-16ft) before the appliance. Such a valve must be approved by the Water Research Council.
Attention - is drawn to the Model Water Byelaws.
Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are not acceptable for underground use and certain water
undertakings will not accept their use above ground.
Ensure all pipework is adequately supported
Gas
NOTE: A bypass that will ensure a minimum flow
rate of 6 L/m at all times must be fitted as far as
possible from the boiler if thermostatic radiator
valves are fitted.

Notes on concentric horizontal installation
To locate the centre of the hole for passing the
pipes through the wall, refer to fig. 15. Bear in
mind that the two concentric pipes must slope
downwards away from the boiler at a rate of
about 3 mm/m to avoid rainwater entering the
boiler. The concentric pipes making up the air flue gas duct must be sealed with the gasket
where they join the boiler (fig. 21). Outside, the
pipes should protrude from the wall between 10

Fig. 23
Connect flue duct to central hole Ø80 and air duct to left or right air intake hole Ø80. Insert blanking plate "2" in
remaining air intake. A wide number of accessories for two pipe systems are available from Ferroli (ref. to page 32-
33). Before installing your system please check via calculation table at 3.08.2 you are not exceeding the maximum
permissible length for the appliance.
Notes on two pipe system installation:
When using the two pipe system the flue discharge pipe must have a 25mm air gap when passing through
combustible materials. Where the flue discharge pipe passes through the airing space of an airing cupboard it must
be protected by a non combustible guard or expanded metal giving an annular air gap of at least 25mm.
Where the flue discharge pipe passes through a wall containing cavity insulation, a non combustible sleeve must be
fitted. Additionally a gap of 25mm between the sleeve and the insulation should be provided by cutting back the
insulation or packing loose fill bead insulation with mineral fibre. Where the flue pipe is run through an unheated roof
space it should be insulated with non combustible insulating material to prevent condensation. The flue pipe should
be supported at intervals of not more than 1.8m and the support should be preferably below a joint.
3.08.2 Two pipe flue system
• Calculating maximum permissible flue length.
The calculation method is based on a standard reference parameter (1 metre of horizontal air flue 80 diameter 80)
for the maximum length permissible for all the pipes + fittings flow resistance coefficient. In other words, for all
components and pipes in the different installation configurations (vertical or horizontal, air or flue, etc.) and for all
the fittings, a flow resistance (reduction) equivalent to x metre of horizontal air induction pipe is indicated. For every
boiler model a maximum pipe length is provided, expressed in n metres of horizontal air pipe. In this way, to calculate
the length of a proposed 2 pipe air-flue system, add the flow resistance (reduction) in equivalent metres-air. For every
component and fitting present in the system, and to check that the total is less than the maximum length the
permissible for the boiler model.
IMPORTANT: the pipes and fittings flow resistance (reduction) have been summarised on the following pages.
The flow resistance values written refer only to Ferroli pipes and fittings.
Calculation routine
1.Utilise the pipes and fittings flows resistance tables on the following pages and calculate the total flow resist-
ance in metres-air, by adding the flow resistances of the components in the whole air-flue system, based on
their position (vertical or horizontal, air inlet or flue outlet).
Please note that the same fitting, identified by a one code (i.e. 1 pipe diameter 80, code KWMA83A), can offer
different flow resistances if positioned as air inlet or flue outlet, if placed vertically or horizontally.
The flow resistance of the special two pipe flue-air adapters do not have to be included in the calculation
as they are already included in the maximum length calculation.
2.For the restrictors, please refer to cap. 3.06 to determinate the correct diaphragm.
3.Check that the total flow resistance calculated is less or equal to 48 metre, the maximum permissible for
Domina 80E.

3.05 Connecting the central heating and domestic hot water circuits
Connect to the relevant connections as indicated in fig. 1. Connect the pressure relief valve discharge pipe (15mm)
to the outside of the building, where possible over a drain. The discharge must be such that it will not be hazardous
to occupants and passers-by or cause damage to external electric components or wiring. The pipe should be directed
towards to the wall. To ensure long life, the heating circuit should be correctly sized and fitted with all the controls
necessary to ensure correct functioning and operation. The differential between the boiler flow and return pipes
should not be more than 20°C. You are advised not to use the boiler with return temperatures of less than 50°C in
order to prevent patches of condensation forming and having a corrosive effect on boiler components.
3.06 Boiler water characteristics
If the water is harder than 18 clarke degrees, the water used should be treated to avoid possible scale in the boiler
caused by hard water or corrosion by aggressive water. It should be remembered that as a result of its low thermal
conductivity, even scale of just a few millimetres thick can lead to considerable overheating of the boiler walls,
resulting in serious problems.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL THAT THE WATER USED IS TREATED IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
a) Extensive systems (containing large quantities of water);
b) Frequent additions of water to top-up the system;
c) Domestic hot water circuits
If the system requires partial or total emptying, you are recommended to refill it with treated water.
3.07 Filling
When cold, system pressure should be about 1 bar. If while running venting off of air dissolved in the water causes
the pressure of the central heating system to drop below the minimum level described above, the user must utilise
a filling loop to bring it back to the original value. During operation, water pressure in the boiler when hot should
be about 1.5 - 2 bars. After filling, always close and disconnect the filling loop.
Note - If there is a possibility of air pockets forming in certain points of the central heating system flow and return
pipes, you are recommended to fit an air vent valve at these points.
Note - When the boiler is installed below the level of the central heating system, single check valve should be fitted
to prevent gravity circulation around the heating system.
3.08 Gas connection
Gas connection should be carried out using a rigid pipe.
The flow at the gas meter should be sufficient for the simultaneous use of all appliances connected to it. Connect
the gas supply to the boiler according to current regulations. The diameter of the gas tube leaving the boiler is not
the determining factor in choosing the diameter of the pipe between the appliance and the meter. This must be
selected in relation to length and pressure drop and in any instance should not be less than 22mm.
The whole of the gas installation including the meter should be inspected and tested for soundness and purged
in accordance with BS6891-1988.
N.B. - The filling loop will be fitted by the installer in accordance with water by laws, at the time of installing thesystem. It is NOT a part of the boiler.
3.09 Electrical connection
The boiler must be connected to a single phase 230 V 50 Hz electricity supply with a 3 A max. fuse and a bipolar switch
with contact opening of at least 3 mm fitted between the boiler and the electricity supply. The boiler must always be
connected to an efficient earth installation. Under the electrical box, there is a 3 pole terminal board for connecting the
boiler to the mains (230 V 50 Hz) and a 2 pole board for connecting a room thermostat (RT). To connect, undo the screws
fixing the terminal board box and connect the wires, ensuring correct polarity of the terminals. It should be noted that there
is low voltage (24 V) between the room thermostat contacts. When the boiler is connected to an electricity main, it is
essential TO OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITIES (LIVE: brown cable, NEUTRAL: blue cable, EARTH: yellow-green cable).
All wiring must conform to current I.E.E. regulations.
19
MODENA 80 E
Note: If the power supply cable has to be replaced, use “0.75mm (24/0.20) cable only to BS6500 with a maximum
external diameter of 8 mm.
Note - When connecting a room thermostat or external timer, do not link the power supply of these devices to the
switching contacts. The switch contacts must be voltage free. Any mains powered devices must utilise mains power
solely to drive the timer motor.
Applying mains voltage to the switch contacts will irreparably damage the circuit board.
Although this boiler can also be used without a room thermostat, you are recommended to install one for the
following reasons:
Greater comfort conditions due to more accurate control of room temperature.
Greater energy savings.
3.10 Differential air pressure switch (fig. 2 - part 43)
The differential air pressure switch is a safety device which allows the main burner to ignite only after having verified
that the fan is working correctly. If the difference in pressure between the flue gas discharge pipe and the air intake
pipe is not at least equal to the minimum pressure switch calibration value, the pressure switch contacts do not close
and the gas valve is thus prevented from opening.
In addition, the electrical circuit of the boiler is designed so that if for any reason the air pressure switch contacts
remain closed when the fan stops, the burner will not start up again.
3.11 Checks
Fill the central heating system as described previously (3.11) and check there are no leaks in the domestic hot water
and boiler water circuits. Check that there are no gas leaks on the boiler or the supply to the boiler. Also check that
the electrical connections are correct.
3.12 Installing a room thermostat (72) (fig. 48)
To connect the thermostat:
Open the electrical box on the base of the appliance and remove the “jumper cable” between terminals 4 and 5.
Connect the room thermostat (72) as shown in figure 48.
- Remove clock blanking plate from the boiler facia panel.
- Mount clock into facia panel using two screws and spacers provided.
- Take the black cable containing the blue and brown wires and connect the loose spades to clock terminals 1 & 2.
- Connect the plug end of the cable to terminal X2 of main circuit board.
- Remove the connector link from the 2 wires located behind the clock position.
- Connect these to terminal 3 and 5 of the clock.
- Replace everything in reverse order.
- Please refer to page 55 of User manual for use of time clock

4. COMMISSIONING AND TESTING
4.01 Checks to be carried out before starting up for the first time
When starting the boiler up for the first time check:
• that the gate valves between the boiler and central heating systems are open;
• that the central heating system is filled and vented;
• that there are no gas or water leaks from the central heating system or boiler;
• that the electric connections are correct and the earth wire of the boiler is connected to an efficient earthing
installation and a 3amp. fuse is fitted to the isolator;
• that there are no flammable liquids or materials near the boiler;
4.02 Starting up the boiler
• Open the gas cock upstream of the boiler.
• Vent air present in the pipe upstream of the gas valve.
• Turn on the switch (if present) or plug in the boiler.
• Rotate the switch (fig. 2 - part 98) into the ON position.
• Check inlet working gas pressure, burner pressures and gas rate.
At this point, choose whether the boiler is to be used for central heating and domestic hot water production or for
domestic hot water production only. If the former is chosen (central heating and domestic hot water production), turn
the knob 63 (fig. 2) to the “Winter” position. Set the knob above 50°C and set the room thermostat (if fitted) to maximum.
The burner ignites and the boiler starts to function automatically, controlled by its control and safety devices.
If the latter is chosen (domestic hot water production only), position the knob 63 (fig. 2) on the “Summer” position.
In this mode the boiler is ready to operate automatically whenever domestic hot water is drawn off.
Note - If after completing the start-up procedure correctly, the burners fail to ignite and the boiler shut down warning
lights up, wait about 15 seconds then rotate the knob 98 (fig. 2) against spring pressure to the RESET position and
release it. The reset electronic control unit will repeat the start-up cycle.
Note - In central heating mode after resetting the boiler will go into it 2 minue delay before starting up again. If after
a second attempt the burners still fail to ignite, consult the paragraph “Troubleshooting”.
Note - If there is a power failure while the boiler is in operation, the burners automatically go out and re-ignite when
the power returns.
4.03 Shutting down
Close the boiler isolation gas cock and turn off the electricity to the boiler.
Important: If the boiler is not to be used for lengthy periods during the winter, to avoid frost damage, you are
recommended to drain the water from the circuits (domestic hot water and central heating). Alternatively, drain the
domestic hot water system only and add special anti-freeze to the central heating system.
4.04 Checks and controls after first start-up
• Check there are no leaks in the gas and water circuits.
• Check correct boiler start up by carrying out start up and shut down tests using the boiler stat.
• Check the integrity of the air-flue pipes during boiler operation.
• Check that the gas consumption indicated on the meter corresponds to that given in Technical Data (page 5).
• Check that water is circulating correctly. Balance the radiators to ensure that the flow and return differential does
not exceed 20°C.
• Check that when operating in the “Winter” mode, the pump stops and domestic hot water is produced correctly
when the hot water tap is turned on.
• Check that in the “Summer” mode, the burner lights up and shuts down correctly when the domestic hot water
tap is turned on and off.
22
MODENA 80 E
• Check that the domestic hot water flow and ∆T correspond to the table. Do not rely on empirical measurements.
Temperature should be measured using thermometers as near as possible to the boiler, bearing in mind the heat
loss from the pipes.
• Check that the gas valve modulates correctly both during the central heating phase and the domestic hot water
production phase.
• Determine the combustion efficiency and the composition of the flue gases (refer to 8.04)
• If any of the above are not correct refer to Technical Data (page 5). Adjustment (page 41) and Troubleshooting
(page 58).
5. ADJUSTMENT AND GAS CONVERSION
5.01 Adjusting the pressure and flow rate to the main burner
This boiler operates on the flame modulation principle. It has two fixed pressure values, minimum and maximum,
which must be as shown in the table (pages 5), whichever type of gas is used.
Note - Because correct minimum and maximum pressures are critical to the efficient operation of the boiler it is
ESSENTIAL that the following adjustments are carried out by COMPETENT personnel ONLY.
5.02 Adjusting minimum and maximum pressure Honeywell V K4105G gas valve
-Connect suitable pressure gauge to burner test point
“B” downstream of the gas valve.
-Disconnect the pressure compensation tube «F».
-Remove the protective cap «C».
-Adjust potentiometre P3 (on the main board) at minimum
(anticlockwise).
-Operate boiler for central heating
- Adjust minimum pressure by rotating screw «D»
clockwise to reduce pressure and anticlockwise to
increase pressure.
-Adjust potentiometre P3 at maximum (clockwise)
-Adjust max pressure by rotating screw «E», clockwise to
increase pressure and anticlockwise to reduce pressure.
-Reconnect the pressure compensation tube «F».
-Replace protective cap «C».
Maximum + Minimum possible gas pressures are now set.
Range Rating the central heating is not necessary because
for Central Heating the Auto Range Rating facility will
set the burner pressure to set the system unless the boiler
thermostat is set to max, when the burner pressure will
go to max output.

5.04 Adjusting maximum output for central heating system (fig. 33)
This adjustment must be carried out electronically using the “P3” adjustment screw starting with a cold central
heating system. Connect a pressure gauge to the pressure test point downstream of the gas valve. Rotate the
temperature adjustment screw to maximum then regulate the pressure to the value required, consulting the diagram
(figs. 4 and 5) (page 8). Once this operation is complete, start up and shut down the burner two or three times using
the thermostat. Check each time that the pressure values remain as adjusted and that the burner ignites correctly.
Otherwise further adjustment is necessary until the pressure remains stable on this value.
N.B. - when carrying out this operation ensure that the boiler thermostat is set to maximum otherwise the
adjustment will not be accurate.
5.05 Adjusting central heating flow temperature
Central heating water temperature is adjusted by rotating the control knob (fig. 2 - part 63). Rotate the knob
clockwise to increase water temperature, anticlockwise to reduce water temperature. Temperature can be varied
from a minimum of 30°C to a maximum of 85°C. However, we recommend not operating the boiler below 50°C.
5.06 Adjusting room temperature (when a room thermostat is fitted)
Room temperature is controlled by positioning the room thermostat knob to the required value. The thermostat
automatically controls the boiler, temporarily interrupting the electrical supply subject to the room heat requirements.
5.07 Adjusting the central heating flow ∆t by varying pump flow-head
The thermal head ∆t (the difference in temperature between the delivery water and return water in the central
heating circuit) must be less than 20° c. This is obtained by varying pump flow rate and head using the multi-speed
variator (or switch) on the pump itself. Increasing the pump speed reduces ∆t and vice versa. The minimum
differential must not be less than 11°C.
5.08 Adjusting central heating system pressure
The pressure of water in the central heating system, read on the control panel pressure gauge, is adjusted as
described in paragraph 3.11 page 35.
N.B. - To avoid incurring unnecessary expense, in the event of boiler shut down, check that this is not caused by a
lack of electricity or gas, or low water pressure before calling the Customer Technical Service Helpline.
5.09 Gas conversion
The following adjustment and conversion operations must be carried out by competent personnel. FERROLI Limited
accepts no liability for damage to property or personal injury resulting from tampering with the boiler by
unauthorised persons.
To convert the boiler from Nat Gas to LPG and vice versa, the main burner injectors must be replaced. Minimum and
maximum pressures must then be adjusted on the gas valve (see Adjustment page 41).
Note: After converting the boiler from natural gas to liquid gas, fit the orange plate in the conversion kit near
the data plate.
Note: injector diameters and pressures at the main burner are given in Technical Data (page 5).

MODENA 80 E
6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The following operations must be carried out by Corgi registered engineers only.
6.01 Annual Servicing
The following should be checked at least once a year:
• Water pressure in the central heating system when cold should be about 1 bar. If this is not the case, bring it back
to this value.
• Check control and safety devices (gas valve, flow meter, thermostats, etc) are functioning correctly.
• The burner and heat exchanger must be clean. To avoid damage, always clean them with a soft brush or com-
pressed air. Never use chemical products.
• The expansion vessel must be checked (precharge 1 bar).
• Check there are no leaks in the gas and water circuits.
• Check the air-flue gas duct terminal is free from obstructions and sound.
• The electrodes must be free from corrosion build up and correctly positioned.
• Gas flow and pressure must correspond to the values given in the Technical Data (page 5).
• The pump must be free to rotate.
6.02 Cleaning the boiler and burner
The boiler should be serviced annually. The heat exchanger and burner must never be cleaned with chemical
products or steel brushes. Particular attention must be paid to all seals and fixings associated with the room-sealed
compartment (gaskets, grommets, etc). Air leakage would cause pressure inside the compartment to drop, possibly
tripping the differential pressure switch and thus shutting down the boiler. After cleaning particular attention should
also be paid to checking stages of start-up and operation of the thermostats, gas valve and pump.
6.03 Servicing procedure
1.Visually check boiler for correct intallation and flueing.
2.Isolate electricity supply + check fuse is 3amp.
3.Remove case by undoing the two screws locate at the bottom rear corners, lift slightly and pull forward.
4.Carry out preliminary electrical checks at boiler junction box. This is located in the centre of the boiler at the
bottom and can be accessed be the removal of a single screw. Any faults found must be rectified before
proceeding.
5.If electrical checks prove O.K. replace cover and secure with screw.
6.Attach a manometer to the boiler gas inlet test point, turn on electricty and fire boiler for hot water, check inlet
pressure. This should be 20mbar minimum for NG and 37mbar for LPG. If this is not the case there is a supply
problem and this will need to be remedied.
7.If inlet pressure is O.K. shut down boiler and remove manometer from gas inlet pressure test point and attach
it to the boiler burner pressure test point. Reseal inlet pressure test point.
8.Fire boiler for hot water and check that the maximum pressure is 11.8mbar for NG and 36.0mbar for LPG. Turn off
tap. Turn P3 on the main circuit board to minimum and fire the boiler for heating, check that the burner pressure
reads 2.5 mbar for NG and 7.8mbar for LPG. Turn P3 back to max position. Shut down boiler, remove manometer,
seal test point. If the pressures are not as specified they will need to be adjusted on the gas valve(see page 41 installation manual).
10. Remove fan by undoing the two fan securing screws tilt the front of the fan upwards to detach it from the
securing pin and withdraw it from the boiler, disconnect the wires and air pressure switch tubes.
11. Take off the combustion chamber cover by removing the three securing screws.
12. Lift off flue hood and flue baffle plate.
13. Pull off the ignition and flame rectification leads from their respective electrodes.
14. Undo the gas union in the centre of burner rail and take out the two securing screws. Remove the burner rail
and clean rail and injectors.
15. Remove two screws securing the burner assembly and remove the assembly. Clean burners.
16. Clean heat exchanger with a soft brush.
25
MODENA 80 E
17. Re-assemble baffle, flue hood and fan assembly, secure with screws previously removed.
18. Refit burner assembly and burner rail.
19. Reconnect ignition and flame rectification leads.
20. Reconnect gas union and tighten.
21. Refit combustion chamber cover, secure with screws.
22. Examine seals on room sealed cover refit cover and secure with screws.
23. Turn on gas and electricity.
24. Fire boiler and check all gas joints for soundess.
25. Check flame picture and all controls for correct operation.
26. Check room sealed cover for leakage.
27. Check domestic water flow rate and temperature is within specifications.
28. Check operation of all safety cut off devices.
29. If a combustion analyser is to be used there are test points provided on the front of the room sealed cover. The
right hand grommet is for air and the left hand one is for flue gas. The boiler must reach operating temperature
before this test is carried out (normally 10-15 minutes). CO/CO2 ratio should not exceed 0.0080. Immediatly
after servicing (0.0040 at any other time)
30. Refit case and secure with screws.
31. Leave boiler set to customers requirements.
6.04 Flue Gas Analysis
1.The appliance should be checked visually for obvious defects.
2.After removing the jacket on the boiler there are two test point, one for flue gas and the other for air.
3.Open the air and flue gas test points;
4.Introduce the probes as far as the retainer;
5.Turn on the hot water tap;
6.Turn the domestic hot water stat to maximum;
7.Allow the boiler to reach thermal equilibrium (10 - 15 min.);
8.Take reading;
9.The CO/CO2 ratio should be 0.0040 or below. If the reading is above this then a full strip down service must be
carried out and the cause remedied.
10. Following a full strip down service and after
reaching thermal equilibrium the permissible
reading is 0.008 or below.
N.B.: To ensure correct readings the boiler must have
reached normal operating temperature. Testing
the boiler before thermal equilibrium has been attained will give incorrect readings.
N.B.: If you have only 1 probe, measure separately
air and flue gas, close the test point not in use.

8. FAULT FINDING
Before beginning any fault finding ensure that gas, water and electricity are available.
WARNING: DO NOT link any terminals on block X10 or X11 as this will damage the PCB beyond repair.
8.01 Operating Sequence
With the power established the boiler is in its stand-by mode i. e. power on but no demand. The operational sequence
for C.H. and D.H.W. are as follows:
Central Heating Mode
External Call for Heat: The temperature regulator, built in or remote clock and room thermostat, if fitted, must all
call for heat. This will cause the pump to run.
Internal Call for Heat: C.H. flow temperature sensor, 88°C high limit and low water pressure switch all calling for
heat. If both external and internal calls for heat are present the MF03 PCB will energise.
In demand the fan will go to high speed causing the air pressure switch to operate. If the overheat (100°C) stat is
closed circuit the ignition will operate and the gas valve will be energised.
The burner will light at ignition burner pressure, automatically range rating itself up to the heating load, then
modulating down when the boiler reaches the desired flow temperature. When the central heating is satisfied the
burner will go off and the fan stops i.e. stand-by mode.
Note - If the boiler thermostat is set to maximum than the burner pressure will go to maximum effectively bypassing
the auto range rating facility
Domestic Hot Water Mode
External Call for D.H.W: Flow meter registers at least 2.5 litres/min flow to the hot water taps.
Internal Call for D.H.W: Hot water flow temperature sensor 88°C high limit stat and low water pressure switch calling
for heat.
If both internal and external calls are present the boiler follows the same sequence as for C.H. to light the burner.
However, for D.H.W. the burner will go straight to maximum and then modulate once the water reaches the set
temperature of the control thermostat. Turning the tap off will return the boiler to stand-by mode.
Note: Following shut down of the D.H.W. or C.H. the boiler will go into a three minute central heating delay.

The MFO3 PCB has fivediagnostic lights, each light corresponds to a particular function and will light in turn as the
boiler goes though its sequence of operations.

MODENA 80 E
In order, the five lights indicate:
1 Boiler On Indicate
2 Boiler Shut down warning
3 Domestic Hot Water circuit ON
4 Central Heating standby (Flashing Light)
Central Heating circuit ON (Permanent Light)
5 Insufficient pressure in Central Heating System (Flashing Light)
Electric power supply ON (Permanent Light)
Note: Always check for sufficient gas supply (20mbar inlet working pressure for NG and 37mbar for LPG). Minimum
of 22 mm diameter pipework on C.H. flow and return with adequate by-pass. A correctly installed flue system and
a 3 amp fuse.
8.03 MF03 PCB
When operating the C.H. the following lights should be on: 4, 5 and flame on light. For D.H.W. the following lights
should be on: 3, 5 and flame on light.
If the boiler works for C.H. but not D.H.W., or vice versa, a number of components must be functioning and can,
therefore, be eliminated as being at fault.
Boiler will not light for D.H.W.
If boiler works for C.H. but not for D.H.W. the fault is most likely to be the flow meter or D.H.W. sensor.
If the tap symbol light is on the fault is the D.H.W. sensor. If this light is not on then suspect the flow meter has not
operated.
Boiler will not light for C.H.
If the boiler works for D.H.W. but not for heating the fault is most likely to be external controls (i.e. clocks or room
thermostats). Integral clock if fitted or C.H. sensor.
If the heating demand light is on the fault is most likely the C.H. sensor. If this light is not on suspect either a clock
or room thermostat not calling.
To override/eliminate any external controls disconnect them from terminal 3 and 4 underneath the boiler and refit
the link wire (see fig. 20).
Boiler will not light for D.H.W. or C.H.
The fault is likely to be a component common to both services. Open a hot tap to create a demand - is there a spark
at the ignition electrode?
YesSuspect gas supply, pressure or gas valve.
NoIs fan running?
YesSuspect air pressure switch or overheat stat (if boiler locks out without sparking go to overheat stat)
NoIs low water pressure light Flashing?
YesTop up water to above 1 bar. Does the light go out? (if water pressure o/k suspect high limit stat)
YesDoes fan start?
YesDoes boiler light?
YesIs hot water OK?
Try heating, if heating does not work follow guide for heating faults. Does low water pressure light
go out?
NoSuspect low water pressure switch.
If boiler still does not fire see comprehensive fault finding chart.

MODENA 80 E
8.04 Temperature sensors (thermistors)
Identical, but individual, negative temperature co-efficient (NTC) thermistors are fitted in the C.H. and D.H.W.
outlets from the heat exchanger. As the water temperature increases the resistance in the thermistor decreases. This
causes the PCB to reduce the voltage to the modureg, in turn reducing the burner pressure. The wiring for each
thermistor is colour coded red for C.H. and blue for D.H.W. The sensors are fitted in wet pockets.
8.05 Limit thermostats
Two surface mounted auto reset bi-metal thermostats are located on the heat exchanger secured by spring clips.
Heat sink compound is used.
8.06 Ignition PCB
Located to the right hand side of the electrical control compartment accessed by lowering the facia then removing
the rear cover.
8.07 Main printed circuit board
Secured by flour plastic tabs the PCB is situated inside the control compartment. The transformer for low voltage
AC is attached to the PCB as is the DC rectifier. Potentiometers control C.H. output and maximum D.H.W.
temperature, both are adjustable by the controls on the facia and because the boiler features automatic range rating
no adjustments need to be made. Electro mechanical relays control pump operation and put switched live to the
ignition PCB (demand relay), they have transparent plastic covers so that their contacts can be seen moving.
8.08 Air pressure switch
Operating at 230 V AC and situated next to the fan. Different coloured tubes connect the switch to the fan. It is a
make on pressure switch and only uses two terminals, the middle terminal is not used.

The boiler is designed for use with two types of gas: natural gas NG or propane (LPG). The type of gas can be selected
when purchasing the boiler or the appliance can be converted later on site by a competent person. It operates with
technologically advanced systems such as electronic control, safety and control devices.
The boiler is fitted with automatic electronic ignition so there is no pilot to worry about.
Pull down cover to reveal control facia panel.
Make sure that the gas, water and electricity supplies to the boiler are turned on.
The boiler pressure gauge (6) should read at least 1 bar.
Low pressure will be indicated by flashing light in the middle of the facia illuminating (
bar
).
Hot Water Only - “SUMMER” ()
To obtain hot water only from the boiler, turn switch (1) to the on position. The top green light on the left side of
the control panel is illuminated (power on ).
Turn the temperature regulator (2) to the position. Open a hot water tap, green light (tap symbol) comes on,
fan starts and burner will light. Indicated by flame symbol, green light coming on. The temperature of the hot water
can be adjusted by turning the hot water thermostat (3) clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to decrease the
water temperature.
Heating and Hot Water - "WINTER” ()
To obtain heating from the boiler, turn the temperature regulator (2) clockwise to the maximum position, ensure that
any other heating controls e.g. room thermostats, clock etc. are in the on position.
The boiler may be in heating delay of three minutes as indicated by the red light (egg timer symbol) on the left of
the facia panel. When this light goes out the green light (radiator symbol) will come on. The fan and pump will run
and the burner will light indicated by the green flame symbol light. Adjust the temperature regulator to the desired
setting. (In winter do not run boiler below 50°C). If a hot water tap is opened whilst the boiler is running for heating
the pump will stop, suspending the heating phase and the boiler will give priority to hot water production. When
the tap is closed the boiler will go into a three minute delay cycle before resuming for heating.
41
MODENA 80 E
Boiler lock out
In the event of the red lockout light () coming on, the on/off/reset switch (3) should be turned clockwise against
the spring tension to the reset position and released (this will put the boiler into three minute delay if in the heating
mode). If the lockout light () illuminates repeatedly, contact an approved Férroli service engineer.
Frost Protection
In cold weather the boiler may appear to run when there is no demand for heating (i.e. clocks or room thermostats
turned off). This is due to the central heating sensor going into frost protection mode. Once the boiler has reached
14°C or more it will close down until either the temperature again falls below 7°C or the clock or room thermostat
is turned on.
For this reason we recommend that the electricity to the boiler is left turned on. If you wish to turn off the electricity
to the boiler in winter you should drain completely the heating and hot water circuits.
Cleaning
The casing requires no special cleaning, a wipe with a soft duster or damp cloth will suffice.
Maintenance
Férroli recommend that the appliance is serviced at least once every twelve months by a competent engineer.
Gas Supply
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed and serviced by a competent person in accordance with the Gas Safety
Regulations (Installation & Use) 1996, and the manufacturers instructions. Failure to observe these requirements may
lead to prosecution.
Electrical Supply
WARNING - This appliance must be earthed.
The electrical wiring must be carried out by a competent electrician.
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
