Servicing, Maintenance and Spare Parts

Electrical Supply Failure Reset Switch

In the event of a power supply failure the boiler will not work.

Normal operation of the boiler should resume when the electrical supply is restored.

However, if the boiler does not resume normal operation turn the mains reset switch off and on. If the boiler does not resume normal operation after this operation the overheat stat may have operated.

Overheating safety

In the event of the boiler overheating the safety devices will cause a safety shutdown. If this happens, call your Installation/ Servicing company.

Discharge and Relief Valves

Heating and Domestic discharge safety valves and a Domestic hot water pressure relief valve are tted to this appliance. The valves must not be touched except by a competant person. If the valves discharges at any time, switch the appliance off

and isolate it from the electrical supply.

Frost protection

The appliance has a built in frost protection device that protects the boiler from freezing. With the gas and electric supplies ON and irrespective of any room thermostat setting, the frost protection device will operate the pump when the temperature of the boiler water falls below 7°C.

The burner will re if the temperature inside the boiler falls to 3°C.

When the temperature reaches 10°C the boiler stops.

Any other exposed areas of the system should be protected by a separate frost thermostat.

Condensate Drain Blockage

As a safety feature the boiler will stop working if the condensate drain becomes blocked. During freezing conditions this may be due to the forming of ice in the condense drain external to the house. Release an ice blockage by the use of warm cloths on the pipe. The boiler should then restart. Contact your installation/ servicing company if the fault persists.

3.3 Terminal Position

The minimum acceptable siting dimensions for the terminal from obstructions, other terminals and ventilation openings are shown in diagram 3.4. For Ireland the minimum distances for ue terminal positioning must be those detailed in I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.

The terminal must be exposed to the external air, allowing free passage of air across it at all times.

Being a condensing boiler some pluming may occur from the ue outlet. This should be taken into consideration when selecting the position for the terminal.

Carports or similar extensions of a roof only, or a roof and one wall, require special consideration with respect to any openings, doors, vents or windows under the roof. Care is required to protect the roof if made of plastic sheeting. If the carport comprises of a roof and two or more walls, seek advice from the local gas supply company before installing the boiler.

H* and J* See diagram 3.4 . These dimensions comply with the building regulations, but they may need to be increased to avoid wall staining and nuisance from pluming depending on site conditions.

Increased siting exibility can be achieved by using the Glow-worm Plume Management Kit. A2044000 (black) or A2044100 (white).

NOTE: If the ue terminal is positioned near a light source insects may enter the ue system. Where safe and practical to do so advise the homeowner to check the ue outlet and clear visible insects from the terminal end.

3.4 Terminal Guard

A terminal guard is required if persons could come into contact with the terminal or the terminal could be subject to damage.

If a terminal guard is required, it must be positioned to provide minimum of 50mm clearance from any part of the terminal and be central over the terminal.

The guard should be similar to that shown in diagram 3.5.

4 Heating System

4.1 General

The boiler is for use only with sealed central heating systems.

The safety valve is an integral part of the boiler and it cannot be adjusted.

The digital readout on the controls fascia indicates the system pressure when there is no demand.

The circulation pumps are integral with the boiler.

4.2 Expansion Vessel

The boiler has an integral expansion vessel with a useful capacity of 12 litres (2.6 gallons), with a charge pressure of 0.75bar.

NOTE: The expansion vessel volume depends on the total water system volume and the initial system design pressure. Guidance on vessel sizing is also given in the current issue of BS5449 and BS7074 Part 1, for IE refer to the current edition of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.

4.3 Flow Rate

If it is necessary to alter the ow rate, the system can be tted with a lockable balancing valve in the main ow or return pipes. The ow rate through the boiler must not be allowed to fall below

500 litres/hr.

4.4 Bypass

The boiler is tted with an automatic bypass. Ensure that under no circumstances does the ow rate drop below the gure specied.

The installation of the boiler must comply with the requirements of the current issue of BS6798, in Ireland, refer also to the current edition of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.

In GB it is necessary to comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 (for Scotland, the Water Byelaws 2000, Scotland).

To comply with the Water regulations your attention is drawn to: The Water Regulations guide published by the Water Regulations Advisory Service (WRAS) gives full details of the requirements.

In IE the requirements given in the current edition of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations” and the current Building Regulations must be followed.

4.5 Filling the Sealed System

NOTE: The water pressure at the boiler must be at least 1.2bar

to enable lling the boiler to a minimum pressure. The boiler is supplied with a lling device.

This lling device is designed to enable the lling and pressurisation of the system in the event of loss of pressure.

4.6 Water Treatment

In the case of an existing installation, it is ESSENTIAL that prior to installing the new boiler the system is thoroughly ushed. For optimum performance after installation of a new system, the boiler and its associated central heating system should also be ushed. Flushing should be carried out in accordance with BS7593: 1992 using a cleanser such as Sentinel X300 or X400, Fernox cleanser or Salamander corrosion guard cleaner.

For long-term corrosion protection, after ushing, an inhibitor suitable for aluminium heat exchangers should be used, refer to the current issue of BS 5449 and BS 7593 on the use of inhibitors in central heating systems. Examples are Sentinel X100 Fernox or Salamander corrosion guard inhibitor.

4.7 Draining Points

Draining taps must be provided at the lowest points of the system, which will allow the entire system to be drained.

A drain point for the appliance is provided as an integral part of the hydroblock.

General - All domestic hot water circuits, connections, ttings must be in accordance with the relevant standards and water supply regulations.

For GB: Guidance G17 to G24 and recommendation R17 to R24 of the Water Regulations Guide.

For IE: The current edition of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.

5.1 Water Pressure

The circuit should be designed to avoid any unnecessary ow losses (decrease the number of elbows).

The maximum working pressure of the domestic hot water circuit is 10 bar. If the cold water supply pressure exceeds this, then a pressure-reducing valve must be tted in the supply to the boiler.

The boiler will operate with a minimum supply pressure but with a low ow. Optimum performance will be achieved with a pressure of 1 bar.

5.2 ‘Hard’ Water Areas

The temperatures within the heat exchanger are limited by the boiler control system to minimise scale formation within the hot water pipework. However, in areas where the water is ‘hard’ (i.e. more than 200mg/litre), it is recommended that a scale reducer is tted.

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or consult the local water company for additional advice.

5.3 Domestic Water Flow Rate

The water ow rate is restricted to a maximum 16 l/min by a restrictor tted during boiler installation,.

8 Safety Discharge, Condensate and Tundish Connections

8.3 Tundish discharge

The internal safety valves, 24 and 36 have been tee’d together and the discharge pipe run so that it exits at the right hand bottom of the boiler ( Block diagram) 11.8.

The tundish (supplied) must be used with this outlet within the normal guidelines and code of practice and must be installed so that it is visible to the occupants and positioned away from any electrical devices.

It is necessary, during installation, to connect a 22 mm diameter metal discharge pipe to a suitable position outside the building. It is permissible to use copper pipe.

WARNING: The discharge pipe from the tundish should terminate in a safe place where there is no risk to persons in the vicinity of the discharge, be of metal and:

Be at least one pipe size larger than the nominal outlet size of the safety device unless its total equivalent hydraulic resistance exceeds that of a straight pipe 9m long i.e. discharge pipes between 9m and 18m equivalent resistance length should be at least larger than the nominal outlet size of the safety device, between 18m and 27m at least 3 sizes larger, and so on.

Bends must be taken in to account in calculating the ow resistance.

Have a vertical section of pipe at least 300mm long, below the tundish before any elbows or bends in the pipework.

Be installed with a continuous fall.

Be positioned away from any electrical appliances.

Have discharges visible at both the tundish and the nal point of discharge but where this is not possible or practically difcult there should be clear visibility at one or these of these locations.

Examples of acceptance discharge arrangements are:

Ideally below a xed grating and above the waterseal in a trapped gully.

Downward discharges at a low level; i.e. up to 100mm above external surfaces such as car parks, hard standing, grassed areas etc. are acceptable providing that where children may play or otherwise come in to contact with discharges, a wire cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact, whilst maintaining visibility.

Discharges at high level; e.g into metal hopper and metal down pipe with the end of the discharge pipe clearly visible (tundish visible or not) or into a roof capable of withstanding high temperature discharges of water and 3m from any plastics guttering systems that would collect such discharges (tundish visible).

Where a single pipe serves a number of discharges, such as in blocks of ats, the number served should be limited to not more than 6 systems so that any installation can be traced reasonably easily.

The single common discharge pipe should be least one pipe size larger then the largest individual discharge pipe to be connected.

If unvented hot water storage systems are installed where discharges from safety devices may not be apparent i.e. in dwellings occupied by blind, inrm or disabled people, consideration should be given to the installation of an electronically operated device to warn when discharge takes place.

NOTE: the discharge will consist of scalding water and steam. Asphalt, roong felt and non-metallic rainwater goods may be damaged by such discharges.

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed. Incorrect installation can cause electric shock or appliance damage.

This appliance must be wired in accordance with these instructions.

Any fault arising from incorrect wiring cannot be put right under the terms of the Glow-worm guarantee.

All system components must be of an approved type.

Electrical components have been tested to meet the equivalent requirements of the BEAB.

Do not interrupt the mains supply with a time switch or programmer.

Connection of the whole electrical system and any heating system controls to the electrical supply must be through a common isolator.

Isolation should preferably be by a double pole switched fused spur box having a minimum contact separation of 3mm on each pole. The fused spur box should be readily accessible and preferably adjacent to the boiler. It should be identied as to its use.

8.2 Condensate Drain Connection

Connect the exible pipe to the condensate drain exible connection pipe supplied (1). Ensure there is a continual fall of

2.5° (44 mm/m).

(Do not use copper pipes).

It is recommended that any external condensate drain pipe is insulated and also preferably of 32mm diameter, to prevent freezing in adverse weather conditions.

The condensate is discharged periodically in ‘slugs’ by siphonic action.

It is not necessary to provide air breaks or extra traps in the discharge pipe as there is already a trap inside the boiler, see diagram 8.2.

Fitting an extra trap may cause the boiler siphon to work incorrectly.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The oat of the condensate trap also ensures fume tightness. Therefore, it is not necessary to add water in the condensate trap.

Refer to BS5546 or BS6798 for advice on disposal of boiler condensate.

The fan should start and after a few seconds the ignition will commence.

If the burner fails to light the fan will stop. Initially this may be due to air in the gas supply line. The boiler will automatically have three attempts at ignition.

If necessary turn the reset switch to the off position (0), then back to the on position (I) and the boiler will restart.

After the boiler has lit, allow to warm at MINIMUM temperature setting to purge any air from the system.

NOTE: If the appliance is operated above MINIMUM on initial lighting, there is a possibility that the overheat thermostat will trip and “F5” will be displayed on controls fascia, this is due to air not having been completely purged. See diagram 9.1 for main reset switch.

Once the system has been purged of air turn the Hot water temperature control knob to the desired position and open a hot water tap. The diverter valve motor will move to hot water supply and the display will read system pressure. Check that hot water is available and then close the hot water tap.

Turn the Central heating water temperature control knob to the desired temperature. The appliance will then continue to re in central heating until the user controls are satised or there is another demand made for hot water.

10.5 Check the Gas Inlet Pressure and Gas Rate

The supply from the governed meter must be of adequate size to provide a steady inlet working pressure of 20mbar (8in wg) at the boiler. On completion, test the gas installation for tightness using the pressure drop method and suitable leak detection uid, purge as necessary. NOTE: Due to the modulating operation of the boiler and the need to check the gas inlet pressure and measure the gas rate at maximum rate, it will be necessary to force it to maximum. This can be achieved by turning on several hot water taps.

Operational Gas Inlet Pressure

With ALL other gas appliances operating, check the operational supply pressure at the gas service isolation valve test point, see diagram 7.1. The nominal supply pressure for Natural Gas (G20) is 20mbar. The nominal supply pressure for LPG (G31) is 37mbar. Turn the taps and appliances off, then disconnect the pressure gauge. Additionally the safe nominal maximum heat input of the appliance can be achieved at an inlet pressure down to 15mbar.

NOTE:

The BURNER PRESSURE cannot be measured and

is not used to measure the gas rate.

Gas Rate

Make sure that ALL other gas burning appliances and pilot lights are off.

10 Commissioning

Check the gas rate using the gas meter test dial and stop watch, at least 10 minutes after the burner has lit, see table below for approximate rates.

GAS RATES (G20)

approx. after 10 mins from cold

GAS RATES (G31)

3.62 128 2.66

In communal or LPG installations where the gas rate cannot be measured it is acceptable to measure the combustion rate as described in the servicing section.

10.6 Heating System

Check that all remote controls are calling for heat. The boiler will re automatically. Fully open all radiator valves, and ow control valve, if tted.

Balance the radiators as required and if tted adjust control valve to give the required system differential. Turn off all radiators that can be shut off by the user and check to see if less than the maximum differential allowed of 20

C can be achieved across

ow and return.

This boiler has a built in bypass, see diagram 10.4.

The boiler is supplied with the bypass open half a turn. It should not be necessary to adjust the bypass, but if required turn the adjustment screw clockwise to close the valve, see diagram 10.4.

Allow the system to reach maximum temperature then switch off the boiler by isolating from the electrical supply.

Drain the entire system rapidly whilst hot, using the drain tap at the lowest part of the system. Fill and vent the system as described previously.

Lock or remove the handle from control valve, if tted.

Replace inner casing panel and front casing panel.

10.7 Completion

Adjust the boiler temperature control and any system controls to their required settings.

GB: It is a requirement that the “Benchmark” Installation, Commissioning and Service Record is completed and left with the user.

IE: it is necessary to complete a “Declaration of Conformity” to indicate compliance to I.S.813. An example of this is given in the current edition of I.S.813.

10.8 Instruct the User

● Demonstrate, then instruct the User about the lighting procedure and heating system controls operation.

● Advise that to ensure the continued efcient and safe operation of the boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon the installation conditions and usage, but in general, once a year should be enough.

● Draw attention, if applicable, to the current issue of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section 35, which imposes a duty of care on all persons who let out any property containing a gas appliance in the UK.

● The user shall not interfere with or adjust sealed components.

● It is the Law that any servicing is carried out by a competent person approved at the time by the Health and Safety Executive.

● Advise the user that, like all condensing boilers this appliance will produce a plume of condensation from the ue terminal in cool weather. This is due to the high efciency and hence low ue gas temperature of the boiler.

● Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent damage to the system, boiler and the building, in the event of the heating system being out of use during frost or freezing conditions.

● Advise the user that the permanent mains electrical supply SHOULD NOT be switched off, as the built in frost protection and pump saver program will not operate.

● Advise the User if the mains electricity and gas are to be turned off for any long periods during severe weather, it is recommended that the whole system, including the boiler, should be drained to avoid the risk of freezing. NOTE: Sealed System: Contact your installation/servicing company as draining, relling and pressurising MUST be carried out by a competent person approved at the time by the Health and Safety Executive.

● Leave these instructions and the ‘Benchmark’ Installation, Commissioning and Service Record with the user.

NOTE: To verify the maximum gas rate CO2 setting, the

appliance must be checked at the maximum rate rst.

With the power off and the appliance cold, unclip the controls fascia and hinge down to reveal the potentiometers on the rear of the user interface, see diagram 10.2.

Take care not to allow the fascia to drop down and damage the wiring. Turn on the electrical supply.

Ensure external controls are calling for heat. The boiler should re automatically.

Allow the boiler to re for at least 60 seconds and then, referring to diagram 10.2, rotate the service potentiometer fully clockwise the appliance will operate at maximum rate. Wait until the CO2 value is stable and check that the value is within the range specied in Table 3.

If the combustion reading is not within the acceptable values AND the integrity of the complete ue system and combustion circuit seals have been veried and the inlet gas pressure (and gas rate) have been veried, then it will be necessary to adjust the combustion rate of the appliance. NOTE: Adjustment is made by turning the gas valve throttle ⅛ of a turn, waiting 1 minute to allow the appliance to stabilise before checking or making further adjustments.

Refer to diagram 10.6 and rotate the “throttle” (anti-clockwise to increase) to the required CO2, see Table 3. On completion, rotate the service potentiometer fully anti-clockwise to resume normal control.

2. Minimum Rate Check and Adjustment.

Now check the minimum gas rate CO2 setting as follows: With the service potentiometer in the fully anti-clockwise position and appliance running, turn the service potentiometer clockwise to the mid-point or 3 O’clock position. The appliance will now run at minimum rate.

Wait until the CO2 value is stable and check that the value is within the range specied in Table 3. If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:-

NOTE: Adjustment of the CO2 at minimum rate is very coarse and should not be adjusted more than ⅛ of a turn at a time. Wait 1 minute to allow the appliance to stabilise before checking or making further adjustments.

Gradually rotate the “offset adjustment” (anti-clockwise to decrease) to the required CO2, refer to Table 3 and diagram

10.6. On completion, return the service potentiometer to the fully anti-clockwise position.

3. Re-check CO2 and check the CO/CO2 Combustion Ratio.

Re-check the maximum and minimum CO2 values to ensure that they are still within limits.

Check that the CO/CO2 combustion ratio does not exceed the value in Table 3 (*note add value into the table = 0.004).

If the CO/CO2 setting exceeds the value stated then a complete service will be necessary – Refer to section 11.1.

COMPLETION

If it is not possible to achieve the required results for either the combustion or gas rates, it will be necessary to complete a full service of the appliance and then repeat the combustion check procedure. If after servicing and adjustment of the appliance the combustion values are still unacceptable and after further remedial work has been carried out, the appliance must be disconnected until the CO/CO2 ratio is acceptable. Advice can be sought from the Glow-worm Technical Helpline.

11.1 Servicing
