The Halstead VBX range are high efficiency condensing, fully automatic, wall mounted gas appliances suitable for either room sealed or opened flued applications, for use with natural gas (G20) and LPG (G31). They are designed for use with either sealed or open vented central heating systems.

The appliances feature an attractive white powder coated casing, with inset control panels. The flue systems are in white powder coat to give a clean attractive appearance to the installation.

A telescopic horizontal concentric air/flue duct terminal is available, suitable for room sealed applications. The duct assembly is connected to the appliance via a turret, which can be orientated to provide different horizontal duct directions. Extension ducts may be fitted in accordance with and up to the maximum dimensions stated in these instructions.

A vertical concentric outlet kit is also available for installations where an outside wall is not accessible or where it is desired to fit the duct 'through the roof'. Installation using the horizontal duct is described in the main text of these instructions and additional information is provided in the vertical outlet kit for the vertical installation option. (Note: If the vertical outlet kit is to be used, access to the roof is necessary).

Other flue kits are available for open flued (B23), split flued (C53), and special (C13) applications, contact Halstead Glen Dimplex service helpline Tel: 0844 371 1111, for further details, ONLY APPROVED FLUE

KITS OR EXTENSIONS MAY BE USED WITH THESE APPLIANCES.

IT IS A STATUTORY REQUIREMENT THAT ALL GAS APPLIANCES ARE INSTALLED BY COMPETENT PERSONS, (i.e. CORGI REGISTERED INSTALLERS) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS (CURRENT EDITION). FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE REGULATIONS MAY LEAD TO PROSECUTION.

These appliances have been tested and certified in order to satisfy the necessary European Directives and comply with the latest Building Regulations, including the efficiency requirements of the SEDBUK scheme.

Gas Appliance Directive 90/396/EEC Efficiency of Hot Water Boilers Directive 92/42/EEC Low Voltage Directive 93/68/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 92/31/EEC No modifications to these appliances should be made unless they are

fully approved by the manufacturer. Appliance installation must be carried out by a competent person and

must be in accordance with the current legislation in force at the time of installation, in the country of destination.

The manufacturer's instructions must not be taken as overriding any statutory requirements.

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health

Under Section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, it is required to provide information on substances hazardous to health.

The adhesives and sealants used in this appliance are cured and give no known hazard in this state.

Insulation Pads - These can cause irritation to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract. If you have a history of skin complaints you may be susceptible to irritation. High dust levels are usual only if the material is broken. Normal handling should not cause discomfort, but follow normal good hygiene and wash your hands before eating, drinking or going to the lavatory. If you do suffer irritation to the eyes or severe irritation to the skin seek medical attention.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GAS LEAKS. DO NOT OPERATE ANY ELECTRICAL SWITCHES, OR USE A NAKED FLAME. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY. VENTILATE THE AREA BY OPENING DOORS AND WINDOWS. CALL OUT YOUR LOCAL GAS SUPPLIER TEL: 0800 111 999.

1.2

The appliances incorporate a microprocessor based, fully modulating air/gas ratio control system with direct burner ignition, which provides a modulated heat output to central heating (CH) demand, and with internal frost protection provided as standard.

The heat exchanger is constructed from stainless steel, and there is the option for routing the flow and return connections either via top or bottom connections.

The appliance may be used with any certified mains voltage room thermostat, and can operate without the need for an automatic bypass valve in the CH circuit, however, it is recommended that one radiator in the room where the room thermostat is fitted is installed without thermostatic radiator valves to allow the pump overrun facility to operate correctly.

THAT THE GAS SUPPLY IS METERED AND ASCERTAIN WHETHER IT IS POSSIBLE TO MEASURE THE GAS RATE. IF THE GAS INPUT RATE CAN BE MEASURED THEN THE REQUIREMENTS OF GSIUR 26(9) CAN BE MET, INCLUDING ANY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS IN MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

IF GAS INPUT RATE CANNOT BE MEASURED THEN, TO SATISFY THE INTENT OF GSIUR 26(9), THE ENGINEER SHALL MEASURE THE COMBUSTION QUALITY OF THE APPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH BS 7967 OR THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

IF THE ENGINEER DOES NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED EQUIPMENT AND NO ALTERNATIVE TEST IS SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER THEN THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE TURNED OFF AND DISCONNECTED AS AN UN-COMMISSIONED APPLIANCE UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT EQUIPMENT IS AVAILABLE TO UNDERTAKE SUCH TESTS.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

WHEN INSTALLING, COMMISSIONING OR SERVICING A GAS APPLIANCE THAT INCORPORATES A PRE-MIX BURNER AND ZERO-SET GOVERNOR, BECAUSE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MEASURE AN OPERATING PRESSURE THE ENGINEER SHOULD FIRST CHECK

It has to be considered that for every metre horizontal flue length the terminal exit centreline is approx. 45 mm higher than the elbow’s centreline. The standard telescopic terminal is 615mm max length and 430mm min length, but can be cut to a minimum flue length of 250mm, which is suitable for single, 100mm (4"), brick walls.

Standard concentric (ø100/60) vertical flue application, Figures 3b, 3c, through roof attics with a maximum length of 12m*. The kit comprises of the roof terminal, vertical adaptor with sampling point and bracket. The maximum length is measured from the top of the appliance casing to the underside of the air cowl.

The maximum length is measured from the top of the appliance casing to the underside of the air cowl.

KIT C: HORIZONTAL ANTI-PLUME FLUE KIT (C13) - PART NO. 956084

If the standard horizontal terminal is likely to cause nuisance to a neighbour or buildings, because of excess pluming, then this particular flue kit raises the flue gas outlet point to a higher elevation with the minimum amount of changes. The flue gas duct is teed-off from the concentric part and covered by an 80mm outer tube to protect the flue duct from freezing. The air in-take remains at the lower level (see Figure 3d).

If choosing this option then the external flue duct length should be taken into account when calculating equivalent flue length.

KIT F: TWIN FLUE SYSTEM (C53) PART NO. 956080

This flue system kit is designed for installations where the air intake position is different than the flue duct exit point. The kit comprises of a twin adaptor from which the air intake is taken from the adjacent outside wall (see example Figure 3g) and the flue duct is routed vertically through the roof.

It has to be noted that the flue duct is under pressure when the appliance is in operation and the duct can leak poisonous carbon monoxide if the duct components are not correctly assembled. It is not recommended to route the flue duct through living space areas, i.e. bed rooms, living rooms etc.

For installation details refer to the instructions provided with the twin flued kit.

For C53 flue systems the terminal for the supply of combustion air and for the evacuation of combustion products shall not be installed on opposite walls of the building.

Maximum flue resistance permitted for a twin flued system = 52 Pa Minimum flue resistance permitted for a twin flued system = 23.5 Pa

The following additional concentric kits are available as optional extras. Flue Extension Ducts - 1000 mm and 500 mm long, (each duct extends

the flue length by up to 950 mm and 450 mm respectively). 93° Extension Elbow - Allows an additional bend in the flue, and has an

'equivalent length' of 1550 mm. This elbow is mechanically different from the flanged elbow supplied as standard with the appliance, but has the same equivalent length.

45° Extension Elbow - Allows an additional bend in the flue and has an 'equivalent length' of 775 mm.

Vertical Turret Socket - For use with elevated horizontal flues and vertical terminals.

Vertical Roof Terminal - For use where an external wall is not available, or where it is desirable to route the ducts vertically.

These optional kits may be used with the standard flue kits to produce an extensive range of flue options, providing that the following rules are strictly obeyed.

system are:

/2in)

The 'equivalent' flue length must not exceed the maximum values stated.

b) The standard terminal must always be fitted horizontally; horizontal

ducts must have a continuous fall towards the appliance of 2.5°. This ensures condensate runs back into the appliance from the flue system. The vertical terminal must always be used if a vertical outlet is required.

c) The concentric flue system must use either a flanged elbow or a

vertical flue turret socket at the entry/exit to the appliance.

d) All joints must be correctly made and secured in accordance with

the installation instructions. When cutting ducts, avoid swarf, uneven and sharp edges to maintain duct integrity.

Refer to Figures 2 and 3 to determine which option kits are required before commencing the installation. Instructions for installing the appliance with a horizontal flue and straight extension ducts are included in the main text of these instructions (section 4.8).

PLUME DIVERTER TERMINAL INSTALLATION

Plume Diverter Kit Part No: 956103

(For use with Standard horizontal flue kit - Part no 956083 - only) This kit is provided to assist in fitting a condensing boiler with reduced

clearances when fitted in good practice according to the Guide to Condensing Boiler Installation published by DEFRA/HMSO.

This kit allows the boiler flue outlet to be directed to the left or to the right only.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Under certain operating conditions condensing appliances have a tendency to form a plume of water vapour at the terminal. Therefore consideration should be given when fitting the Plume Diverter in terms of plume dispersal onto adjacent surfaces and neighbouring properties.

a) Refer to section 2.5 for instructions on fitting the flue system.

Also see Figure 5 for all other clearances.

The resistance of the diverter is equivalent to 0.5 metre of flue length. Ensure this is used when calculating the maximum allowable flue length. (maximum horizontal flue length restricted to 9.5 metres when using the plume diverter).

The diverter allows the terminal clearance to be reduced as follows (see diagrams below):

Clearance H – From a surface facing the terminal - 600mm. Clearance F – From internal or external clearances - 300mm. b) Choose the direction required to deflect the flue products

(left or right only)

c) Push the diverter elbow onto the angled outlet of the flue terminal

in the desired rotational position and ensure the diverter is pushed up to the shoulder to fully engage the rubber seal.

d) Fix the diverter to the flue terminal with the self drilling screw

provided. Do not use a power tool to fit screw.

Note. The Plume Diverter terminal must not under any circumstances deflect flue products downwards.

SINGLE PAGES 20/9/10 10:00 Page 20

b) Ensure that all (inner and outer tube) sealing rings are provided and

assemble the air/flue ducts as shown in the flue instructions.

c) Construct the correct flue length by building the flue out from the

appliance. Ensure that the flue and air seals are correctly fitted

before assembly and that each section is fully engaged.

The flue length is measured from the centreline of the appliance flue outlet to the inside of the external wall-sealing ring. In most cases it will be possible to achieve the required flue length without cutting the ducts, however where necessary the plain ends of the extension ducts may be cut. Never cut the swaged end, and always ensure that the cut is square and free of burrs or debris.

NOTE IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE TERMINAL IS FITTED THE CORRECT WAY UP.

COMMISSIONING & TESTING

5.1

Before commissioning the appliance, the whole gas installation including the meter MUST be purged and tested for gas tightness in accordance with BS 6891: 1988.

Before commencing the commissioning procedure, ensure that the gas service cock is turned on, the electricity supply is isolated, and that the CH pipe-work is complete. Fill the water systems by following the procedure detailed below in steps a) and b), and referring to Figure 20.

FILLING THE WATER SYSTEM

Open all doors and windows, extinguish naked lights,

and DO NOT SMOKE whilst purging the gas line.

It is recommended, where possible, to flush the CH system without the appliance fitted, to avoid debris and flux blocking the waterways within the appliance.

CH FLOW

CH RETURN

Check the system for soundness. Drain the entire system to flush out any debris, and refill making sure

that all the air is properly vented from the system and pump. Repeat this instruction with the system hot. It is recommended that the system be cleaned with a recognised system cleaner such as Fernox or Sentinel.

Prior to lighting the appliance to check the gas rates, the central heating system should be checked for circulation by operating the appliance with the gas turned off, this is to ensure that no air locks occur. The appliance may go into ignition lockout and require resetting.

b) Sealed Systems

Fill the system until the pressure gauge registers 2.0 bar. Clear any locks and check for soundness.

Check the operation of the pressure relief valve (figure 21) by lifting the lever on the valve gently to ease the valve of its seat. Checking that water is discharged, release the lever and ensure that the valve seats correctly and does not leak. Where this is not possible a manual check should be carried out.

Release the cold water to the initial design pressure.

Do not use the pressure relief valve to drain the system, because dirt or debris could prevent the valve seating correctly. If the valve leaks or sticks closed, then replace it.

MANUAL BLEED VALVE

a) All Systems

A competent person in accordance with the current issue of BS6798 should carry out commissioning.

Fill the system with cold water. Vent the system via the radiator valves and system air vents in accordance with normal practice. Ensure that all system air vents are closed.

To aid venting, a manual air vent is provided on the LHS of the heat exchanger.

GENERAL

The mains electrical supply is turned on. The room or cylinder/tank thermostat (where fitted) are calling

for heat. The gas service cock is open. The system is at design pressure.

DIAGNOSTIC LED INDICATORS

8.4

Upon a demand for Central Heating, (closure of the time switch and room thermostat, where fitted), the controls should carry out a set of start up checks, followed by an ignition sequence. Refer to Section 5.2.

If the control has powered up correctly but does not respond to a CH demand. Remove plug cover and check voltage between L3 (orange) and N (blue). If 0 V ac, check external programmer / room thermostat. If 230 V ac, check control for lockout or blocking codes, (refer to section 8.3), check operation of the external pump.

Note: Whenever a CH demand is removed, an anti cycle mode is initiated which prevents the appliance from firing in CH mode for 5 minutes. Ensure that the control is not in this mode by removing power from the control and restoring it after a delay of 10 seconds.

If the Switch Live input is OK and no lockout or blocking code exists and the control is not in anti– cycle mode, then replace PCB.
