The Milborne 500 series is a range of wall hung
boilers comprising 1 or 2 50kW boiler modules
within a single casing. Having a comprehensive
built-in controls package the boiler is particularly
suited to installations that do not have a dedicated
controls installation.
Where larger installations require more power than
a single boiler can produce then multiple boilers
may be installed in a modular arrangement.
Supplied from the factory as fully assembled units,
the boilers are set up for either natural gas or for
LPG prior to delivery. Where required a modification
may be made on site to change from one gas to
another.

2.0 Technical Features
Milborne 501/502 is a wall-mounted, modular,
condensing, pre-mixed and blown boiler assembly,
consisting of one (Milborne 501) or two (Milborne
502) boilers installed within one casing.
The useful power of each Boiler element reaches
48.50 kW (100%, 50°C-30°C) and is modulating
from 30% to 100%. The efficiency of each generator
reaches 108.6% (nett) in relation to the lower
heating power of natural gas (Hi); thanks to the low
temperatures of flue gas, an integrated flue gas
collector entirely in plastic can be used, having a
50mm diameter and a glass-shaped connection,
which can reach a height of 30 metres.
Milborne boiler assembly series 500 is a great
achievement as regards control, cost-effectiveness,
reliability, and flexibility. Indeed, thanks to the latest
generation electronic management, modularity and
versatility that characterise this product. This boiler
can be rapidly connected to any type of heating
system including systems for the production of
domestic hot water, simultaneously managing three
different systems operating at three different
temperatures.
Milborne 501/502 is fitted with an electronic
management system, making it possible to combine
several boiler assemblies in cascade, to create
boiler installations which can reach an installed
power exceeding 3000 kW.
Individual Boilers can be installed in cascade,
besides applying the traditional lead boiler rotation,
by means of a variable load factor, so that when the
first unit reaches a certain power percentage (e.g.
30%), the following units starts (unison control), all
with the same load factor.
This makes it possible to divide supplied power onto
several heat exchangers with a power: heat
exchanger surface ratio which is particularly useful
to exploit latent condensation heat.
The Milborne boiler offers the following main
advantages:
◊ Total pre-mixing blown air burner.
◊ Condensing heat exchanger with efficiency up
to 109%.
◊ Power from 10 to 100 kW (Single Milborne 502).
◊ Flue gas maximum temperature 80°C
◊ Ø50 mm flue gas pipe up to 30m equivalent
length per boiler module.
◊ Standard condensate discharge system in the
boiler.
◊ Fast connection of water, condensate and gas
using optional pipework header kits, with left or
right hand connections.
◊ Serial connection of E buses between the
various boiler modules and the Master control
panel.
◊ Standard outside weather compensation for
high and low CH circuits.
◊ Control of mixing valve for low temperature CH
circuit.
◊ Modulating and sequential regulation of the
power of individual boilers.
◊ Automatic rotation of lead boiler.
◊ Selection of the burner’s modulation rate within
a cascade control.
◊ Management of domestic hot water and circuits
at different temperatures, with or without
operation priority.
◊ Automatic summer/winter switchover.
◊ Anti-Legionella function (remote control only)
◊ Weekly switch-on time setting (remote control
only)
◊ Priority setting of 3rd pump as either primary or
low temperature CH pump.
(1) See paragraph ‘flue gas exhaust’
(2) Each 90° bend in the piping reduces the
exhaust pipe maximum length by 2 metres.

Milborne 501 and Milborne 502 Boiler assemblies
have one or two boilers inside the metal cabinet
respectively.
Each Boiler is connected to the hydraulic system
and the gas supply in parallel (reverse return) to
the others and consists of the following main
components:
◊ Two-way motorised isolation valve.
◊ Heat exchanger.
◊ Pre-mixing burner assembly.
◊ Control and management Slave card.
◊ Safety controls.
◊ 50 mm polypropylene flue gas exhaust

The micro-flame burner is located high, at the
centre of the exchanger, and is a grid type, with
one combined ignition electrode and flame probe.
2. Pre-mixing unit consisting of a modulating gas
valve integrated with a high head fan. The system
ensures a constant mixing ratio in all operating
conditions, and flue gas discharge through a
plastic (PP) exhaust pipe, up to 30 metres
equivalent length.
3. Digital Master control panel. The panel
includes several adjustment functions and is
equipped with a double display, which, depending
on circumstances, shows either the operation
status or the error codes related to the most
common failures.
4. The Master / Slave adjustment system is
located behind the front panel. It consists of a
master control unit that manages on (Milborne
501) or two (Milborne 502) Slave0type control
units. Each slave card controls the operation of
the individual boiler to which it is connected. The

4.0 Controls Philosophy
The Milborne 500 series boiler is supplied with a
sophisticated integrated control system. This system
works with the Master and Slave principle of control
allowing several boilers to be installed all operating
from one control system.
The Master boiler is available as either the Milborne
501 or the Milborne 502. Each Master boiler is
equipped with a digital control panel as the user
interface and heating controller.
Additional Slave boilers are available as Milborne
502 models allowing combinations using one Master
boiler to be assembled as modular installations.
Boiler sequencing is commanded from the Master
boiler with lead boiler rotation based on hours run.
Each Master boiler is supplied with a temperature
sensor for fitting in the common flow pipework. This
must be positioned after the last boiler connection in
a cascade arrangement on the flow pipework
closest to the heating circuits.
Summer shutdown is based on outside air
temperature measured from the outside air
temperature sensor supplied with each Master
boiler. An adjustable parameter allows setting for
the outside temperature at which the heating circuits
are disabled.
Frost protection is also facilitated from the outside
air temperature sensor. Stage 1 will start the primary
pump, or the high temperature heating circuit pump
where a primary pump is not used. Stage 2 will
enable the boilers based on water temperature
within the heating circuit at a temperature configured
in the parameter settings.
Weather compensation is available for the heating
circuits based on outside air temperature and a
common curve. Each heating circuit can be offset
from this curve by setting the maximum and
minimum water temperatures in the parameters.
From the Master boiler it is possible to control 2
heating circuits and a DHW circuit. The heating
circuits are designated as high temperature heating
circuit and low temperature heating circuit. The latter
incorporates control outputs for both the pump and a
mixing valve whilst the high temperature circuit and
DHW circuit have only outputs for pump control.
All 3 circuits can be set in the parameters to operate
at different temperatures. The low temperature
heating and DHW circuits have additional optional
sensors for control of water temperature.
DHW can be set in the parameters to operate with
traditional calorifiers or plate heat exchangers using
voltage free switching thermostats.
Where the heating circuits are controlled from the
Master boiler control panel and not all three
secondary heating circuits are installed, the unused
circuits can be disabled in the parameter settings.
Pump designation
A maximum of 3 pumps can be controlled from the
Master boiler. Should a primary pump be required
for a primary circuit, then pump 3, normally used for
the low temperature heating circuit, must be redesignated in the parameter settings as a primary
pump. The secondary circuit capability of the boiler
is then restricted to DHW and high temperature
heating.
However the high temperature heating circuit can be
set to operate at condensing low temperatures and
use weather compensated flow temperature.
Pump control.
When using weather compensated heating circuits
with DHW the pumps are controlled in the following
manner.
When there is a DHW demand requiring higher
primary temperatures the pump for the high
temperature heating circuit is switched off. For the
low temperature heating circuit the pump remains
running whilst the mixing valve is modulated to
prevent higher temperature water entering the
circuit.
At the end of the DHW demand the DHW pump is
switched off and the high temperature heating circuit
pump switched on again. The low temperature
heating circuit mixing valve is re-modulated to suit
the new primary water temperature. Primary water
temperature is set to the higher of the two heating
circuit requirements.
When only one circuit requires heat the primary
water temperature is set to the requirement of that
circuit.
Pump over-run
A separate adjustable parameter is provided for all
three pumps to facilitate pump over-run. This will
remove residual heat from the boiler when the last
circuit is signalled off by the relevant time clock or
thermostat.
These parameters are set as part of the
commissioning procedure and can be adjusted
between 0 and 255 minutes.
Temperature control
Whilst the maximum and minimum settings for the
heating circuits are set by the parameters at
HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD

MILBORNE 500 SERIES
500001130/A
commissioning, the user can alter the operating setpoints within these limits via the Master control
panel.
Parameter settings are fixed during commissioning
and cannot be altered by the user.
Time clock control
Time clock control can be provided by time clocks in
series with volt free switching room thermostats, or,
programmable room thermostats utilising volt free
switching contacts to the Master boiler. A separate
time signal is required for each of the heating
circuits. Domestic hot water can be time controlled
using a time clock in series with a volt free switching
cylinder thermostat.
Alternatively the Master boiler can be enabled from
a BMS using a 0-10 V analog input. In these
circumstances it is anticipated that the BMS will
control all secondary circuit functions.

System Cleaning
This preventive measure is absolutely required
whenever a heat generator needs to be replaced in
existing systems, but it is in any case recommended
also on new systems, in order to remove any waste,
dirt, working residues, etc.
To clean the system, if the old generator is still
present in the system, it is advisable to:
◊ Add a descaling solution, such as FERNOX
Superfloc at 2% concentration to the system
water volume.
◊ Have the system operate with the circulating
pump for approximately 7 days.
◊ Discharge the system’s dirty water and wash
once or several times using clean water. If the
system is very dirty, repeat the last procedure
until clean.
Pump the water + additive through the system for
approximately 7 days and perform a final wash as
described in the previous paragraph.
At the end of cleaning operations, before installing
the boiler, it is advisable to add corrosion inhibitor
FERNOX MB-1 AT 4% concentration to the system
water volume

Figure 7.2 - Pipework Schematic No. 1
*The Milborne boiler has the facility to start and control 3 pumps.
It is therefore important when designing the heating system to allow pump number 3 to be assigned as the boiler
primary pump where required (see pipework schematic 1). In all other installations pump 3 will be assigned as the
low temperature heating circuit pump (see pipework schematic 2). Therefore where a primary system pump is
required the control system will not support a low temperature mixing circuit.

Safety valve
Each 50kW boiler module is supplied with a fitted
safety valve rated at 6 barg. This ¾” valve is piped
to the bottom of the boiler module where it must be
piped to discharge via a tundish (not supplied). The
discharge should be in an obvious position to alert
the responsible person of a problem.
System Pump Size
The pump is not an integral part of the boiler.
Consequently, its size should be chosen considering
the features of the Boiler assembly and of the
system to be fed.
To help choose the correct pump, figure 7.5 shows
the curve of flow resistance values inside the boiler.
Pump Type
Pumps should be of the electronic constant
pressure type. This will ensure that as boiler
modules are turned off and the individual motorised
isolating valves close, flow rates for the remaining
modules are maintained.
Alternatively a fixed speed pump with flat curve
characteristics may be used.
Maximum Operating Pressure
The boiler’s maximum operating pressure is 6 bar,
its minimum operating pressure is 0.5 bar.
Boiler Filling and Draining
The boiler should be filled using the system quick fill
connection. This connection must be removed after
filling.
The boiler should be drained using the relevant
drain valves fitted to the boiler or system.
Flow rate requirements
As a condensing boiler the Milborne is designed for
operation at 20°C differential temperatures. Should
the flow rate drop the boiler will recognise the
change in differential temperature and modulate the
burner to maintain 20°C differential. It is therefore
important to size the pumps based on a flow rate of
0.6 l/sec (2160 l/hr) per 50kW boiler module plus an
allowance for system resistance.

8.0 Flue Gas System
Available for the following flue types
B23 Conventional open flue system drawing combustion air from the room the boiler is installed within.
C63 Room sealed, twin duct, using separately approved flue components for the air supply and flue discharge.
Note: Balanced flues using concentric ducts are not available or approved for this boiler.
Each heat generator (module) inside boiler
assemblies Milborne 501/502 has been validated
equipped with a self-extinguishing polypropylene
flue gas exhaust system (1) with glass-shaped
connections.
As for the air supply system, since boiler assemblies
Milborne 501/502 have been validated as type B or
type C assemblies, air can be taken directly from the
boiler room through specific vacuum pipes (2).
Flue systems must be designed and installed in accordance with the requirements of the relevant standard:
BS5440 for single Milborne 501 installations
BS6644 for single Milborne 502 and multiple boiler installations
Flue Maximum Length.
Each 50 mm flue pipe maximum equivalent length is
30 metres with a maximum 4 metre flow resistance
for each 90° bend and 3 metres for a 45° bend.
Open Flue Installations type B23
Figure 8.1 shows the configuration of a single
Milborne 501 boiler installation using the B23 open
Milborne 501
flue arrangement. In this application combustion air
is taken directly from the boiler house.

Figure 8.2 shows the configuration of a single
Milborne 502 boiler installation using the B23 open
flue arrangement. In this application combustion air
is taken directly from the boiler house.
For B23 type open flue arrangements with air intake
from boiler house the maximum equivalent flue
length of 30 metres includes only the flue pipe.
Milborne 502
Note: Consideration must be made for the
prevention of condensate from freezing within
the condensate trap at the base of the flue.
Locating the condensate discharge kit to the
horizontal flue section within the building may
provide a suitable solution.

Room Sealed Flue Installations Type C63
Figure 8.3 shows the twin pipe flue adaptation kit fitted to a Milborne 502 boiler. This allows the air supply and the
flue to be piped using separate ducts for room sealed applications.
It is most important that horizontal flue terminals are
Figure 8.3
positioned at least to the minimum requirements, as
shown in Figure 8.5, from other features of the
building , i.e. opening windows etc.
Air supply inlets must be positioned at least 300 mm
from flue terminals to prevent flue gas recirculation.
We recommend that flue terminals are discharged
higher than air inlets.
For C53 twin type pipe installations the maximum
equivalent length of 30 metres includes both the
requirements for the air inlet pipe and flue pipe.
To comply with the requirements of the Clean Air Act 1956 a maximum of three (3) 50 kW modules may be
terminated with horizontal flue discharges.
Connection to a Flue Gas Header
The design of the flue system for the installation of several Milborne 500 Series boilers will be easier if a 125 mm
diameter, polypropylene flue gas header with male / female connections is used.
The header is designed to collect the flue gas
from the two 50 mm flue pipes of a Milborne
502, each of which contains a flue gas nonreturn valve.
When using the flue gas header for up to
three (3) boiler assemblies connected in
series, the minimum distance required
between the assemblies (150 mm) must be
complied with; see figure 8.4.
In this way, the male end of one of the two
headers will connect more readily to the
female connection of the adjacent header.
Note: When using the 125 mm diameter flue
header the maximum number of 50kW
modules acceptable in a single flue system is
six (6), or 3 x 502 models.
Maximum equivalt flue length when using the
125 mm diameter flue header with 6 x 50kW
modules remains at 30 metres, with a 4
metres reduction for each 90° bend in the flue
system and 3 metres for each 45° elbow.
Maximum pressure available at flue
connection to an individual 50 kW module is
0.7 kPa (7 mbar)
Figure 8.4
Note: Air supply ducts must not be connected together when using room sealed applications. Only
individual air ducts for each module are acceptable.

10.0 Gas Supply
Service Pipes
The local gas region must 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 region.
Meters
A new gas meter will be connected to the service
pipe by the local gas region, or a local gas region
contractor. An existing meter should be checked,
preferably by the gas region, to ensure that it is
adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply
required.
Gas Supply Pipes
Supply pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS
6891 or IGE/UP/2. Pipework from the meter to the
boiler must be of adequate size. Do not use pipes
of a smaller size than the boiler gas connection.
Each Milborne 500 series module is supplied with
an individual gas pipe which exits downwards on the
right hand side. The incoming mains gas supply
must be capable of supplying gas to the boiler at the
required pressure and volume, under all firing
conditions.
Boosted Supplies
Where it is necessary to employ a gas pressure
booster, the controls must include a low pressure
cut-off switch at the booster inlet. The local gas
region must be consulted before a gas pressure
booster is fitted.
Boiler House Control Valve
A manual valve for boiler house isolation shall be
fitted in the gas supply line. It shall be clearly
identified and readily accessible for operation,
preferably by an exit.
11.0 Power Supply & Wiring
The electrical drawing of the Milborne series 500
boiler assembly is shown in detail in figure 11.1
Some important electrical features of the boiler
assembly are specified on the appliance’s rating
plate.
Boiler installation requires the connection to a 230 v
– 50 Hz mains. The connection should be made in
full compliance with the applicable electrical
standards. However, it is always advisable to install
an electrical overload switch within the boiler’s
power supply.
Warnings
Always check the effectiveness of the earthing of
the electrical system to which the boiler assembly is
going to be connected. Indeed, should the earthing
be inefficient, the correct operation of the ignition/
detection electrode might be affected.
Warning: 230 V cables must be separated from the
24 V ones using independent PVC conduits.
Warning: Before connecting external electrical
components (regulators, electrical valves, outside
temperature probes, etc.) to the boiler assembly,
make sure that their electrical features (voltage,
current, pickup voltage) are compatible with the
available inputs and outputs.
Warning: Never switch off the boiler during normal
operation (when the burner is on), by means of the
on-off switch located on the underside of the boiler.
This will cause overheating of the primary
exchanger. To switch off the boiler (during normal
operation) use a room thermostat, a remote control
or the individual module on/off switch located on the
front of the respective boiler module.
Warning: Do not touch electrical appliances with
wet hands.
Warning: Do not expose the appliance to the
elements (rain, sun, wind, etc.). for internal use only.
Warning: Do not pull or strain the electrical cables.
Warning: Do not let the appliance be operated by
non-expert people. Should the power supply cable
break, isolate the boiler assembly. To replace it,
contact a qualified electrician.
Connection to Temperature Regulation Devices
Milborne series 500 boiler assemblies are fitted with
a very versatile control and management system,
which can manage up to three independent circuits
operating at different temperatures.
Figure 11.1 shows the main devices (probes,
circulators, valves, etc.) which form the three abovementioned circuits, directly controlled by the boiler’s
electronics. To connect these devices to the Boiler
assembly’s terminal strip, please see figure 11.1.
Note: Temperature sensors for the secondary
circuits are optional extras and must therefore be
specified when requesting quotations and placing
orders.
Programmable room thermostats for low and high
temperature heating circuits are available as 24hr or
7 day programmable versions.

Pump Connection
Milborne series 500 regulation system includes the
simultaneous management of up to three
circulators.
Therefore, if a low temperature circuit supplied by its
own circulator is present and a general pump is to
be installed on the system, it will be necessary to
choose which one of the two devices should be
managed by the Boiler Master Control.
This operation is carried out by setting the relevant
parameter during commissioning.
The pumps shall be installed using an adequate
contactor, as shown in Figure 11.2
Figure 11.2
Outside Air Sensor Connection
If outside temperature compensation is to be used, the outside air sensor needs to be connected to terminals no.
7 and 8 (figure 11.1).
The outside air sensor shall be installed on an outside wall, North or North/East aspect, at a minimum height of
2.5 metres, away from windows, door, and ventilation grilles and flue discharges.
Never install the probe in a position exposed to the sun or other forms of radiated heat.
Connection 0-10V Analog Signal
A B.M.S. temperature regulation device using a 0 –
10 V analog signal can be used by connecting the
output signal to terminals no. 13 and 14 (figure no.
11.3).
Connection of an External Alarm
A 220 V output on the boiler’s terminal strip allows
to connect an external alarm signal, capable of
highlighting any fault condition.
The alarm device must be connected to terminals
no. 18 and 19 (figure 11.3).
Connection of a Remote Control
Figure 11.3
If the remote control (optional) is to be used, it must be connected to terminals no. 15, 16 and 17 (figure 11.3).
Programmable Room Thermostat Connection (On / Off)
Connect the high temperature system’s air temperature sensor to terminals no. 9 and 10 (figure 11.4). The low
temperature system’s thermostat shall be connected to terminals no. 11 and 12 (figure 11.4).
Remote Enable Signal
Alternatively a remote time clock / enable signal for the high and low temperature heating circuits may be
connected to the programmable room thermostat connections, terminals 9,10,11,12 respectively.

Interlock Circuits
Where interlock circuits are used to prevent boiler
operation during occurrences such as pump failure
or pressurisation unit failure these should be
connected as follows.
All interlocks should be joined in series and wired to
a multiple contactor located across each time clock
circuit (figure 11.4).
The installation within the external time clock circuits
will allow correct shutdown of the boiler when the
circuit is broken.
Note: The interlock circuit should never
be used to isolate the boiler power
supply. Isolating the boiler electrically
during normal operation may lead to
overheating problems
Milborne series 500’s electronic management system includes an operation mode called “Emergency” mode,
which can be activated in case of malfunctioning of the Master card.
Indeed, to ensure continuous operation of the boiler assembly, the master card can be disabled in such a way as
to have the system operate at a default delivery temperature set by the Manufacturer.
To enable the “Emergency” function, carry out the following procedure:
12.1 Disconnect the 4-pole connector J14 from the
Master card (see figure 12.1)

13.0 Set-up for multiple Milborne boilers
installations
One of the many functions included in Milborne
500’s electronics allows for the installation of several
modules in series, to create boiler assemblies
having an overall power exceeding 100 kW.
This type of system requires one single Milborne
series 500 equipped with a Master control unit, while
all other Milborne 500 will have no control unit.
The cabling and setting of some electronic
components present on the system should be
carried out as follows:
13.1 Connect the cabling of the Boiler assemblies
making up the series as shown in figure 13.1
13.2 Every slave control unit making up the system
should be identifiable by the single Master control
unit by means of an address which is assigned
through specific settings on the two series of
switches, J10 and J17, located on each Slave in the
set.
Figure 13.1 - Milborne Multiple Installation
Each slave (one for each burner) needs to be
properly configured so that the Master controller can
identify their position in the sequence.
First the Slave boards need to be divided into 15
blocks. The Master control system can manage a
maximum of 15 blocks each made up of 4 Slave
boards each.
Eg, If 5 Slave controllers are connected to one
Master controller then 2 blocks are required. The
first containing 4 Slave controllers and the second
just 1.
To configure the addresses follow the next
procedure.
1. Identify the block that each Slave is to be
HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD
MILBORNE 500 SERIES
assigned, eg block 1… 2… 3… etc.
2. Identify the position that each Slave is to be
assigned in its chosen block, e.g. position 1…
2… 3 etc.
Note: Master controllers are all pre-set as follows;
501 - 502 Master controllers are always despatched
as position 1 and position 2 of block number 1.
502 Slave controllers always despatched as position
3 and position 4 of block number 1.
Therefore as part of the pre-commissioning checks
the settings of all Slave controller block and position
switches must be checked.
To assist the correct setting of the block and

15.1.10 Ensure that all electrical connections made
to the boiler are correctly sized and installed. Refer
to wiring diagrams in Section 11.0.

15.2 Gas inlet pressure test
The gas pressure must be checked at the inlet to
the boiler as shown in figure 24. This is to ensure
that the gas pressure is both constant and sufficient
to provide full burner output. To verify this the
pressure has to be taken as a static and a dynamic
reading. The dynamic reading cannot be taken until
the boiler has been started at step 15.3.3
A maximum difference in gas pressure of 1 mbar
must not be exceeded between static and dynamic
conditions.
The gas pressure measured during these tests must
be no less than 17.5 mbar for Natural Gas or 37.5
mbar for LPG.

Starting the boiler
Ensure that all external time clock and thermostatic
controls are now demanding boiler operation and
that the circulating pumps are operating and
circulating water through the boiler.
15.3.3 Switch the main boiler on/off switch located
on the underside of the boiler to the on position as
indicated in figure 15.3.3
15.3 Commissioning the Boiler
Once the preliminary checks have been completed
and the gas inlet pressure has been verified as
correct, commissioning of the boiler modules may
begin.
15.3.1 Insert the combustion analyser probe in the
flue at the analysis point shown in figure 15.3.1
Fig 15.3.3 - Starting the Boiler
15.3.4 Start the individual boiler module using the
on/off switch located on the front of the control panel
for the chosen module. Milborne 502 models have 2
switches on the front of the control panel. It is
therefore important to selct the switch corresponding
to the boiler module being commissioned. See fig

15.3.8 The gas valve throttle setting can now be
regulated. This is a condition of the flue gas
combustion analysis rather than a fixed pressure.
Check the CO2 values in accordance with table
15.1. If the CO2 values are incorrect then
adjustment must be made by adjusting the gas
valve throttle screw. Turning the throttle screw
anticlockwise increases the air flow and reduces the
CO2 value. Turning the throttle clockwise decreases
the air flow and increases the CO2 value. See fig
15.3.8.
Note: To increase the air flow turn the screw anti
clockwise, to decrease the air flow turn the screw
clockwise.
Fig 15.3.11 - Gas Flow Adjustment
15.3.12 Ensure that the combustion settings are still
correct at maximum output and if necessary repeat
stages 15.3.7 to 15.3.12 until the settings are
correct.
Table 15.1: Flue Gas Analysis C02 Readings

15.3.9 Allow the boiler to stabilise at maximum
power and if necessary readjust the gas flow rate.
15.3.10 Reduce the boiler power to minimum by
pressing switch S5 on the control panel.
The first digit of the display will indicate the fan
speed. L = minimum speed.
15.3.11 The gas flow rate can now be regulated.
This again is a condition of the flue gas analysis
rather than a fixed pressure. Check the CO2 values
in accordance with table 15.1. If the CO2 values are
incorrect then adjustment must be made by
adjusting the gas valve offset adjustment screw.
See figure 15.3.11. Turning the offset screw
anticlockwise increases the gas flow and increases
the CO2 value. Turning the offset clockwise
decreases the gas flow and decreases the CO2
value. See fig 15.3.11.
Note: To increase the gas flow turn the screw
anti clockwise, to decrease the gas flow turn the
screw clockwise.

L.P.G. C02 10.2 - 10.4% C02 8.6 - 8.9%
15.3.13 The individual boiler module is now
commissioned. If there are further modules to be
commissioned then switch the commissioned
module off using the external thermostatic controls
or time clock to ensure correct shutdown. Further
modules may now be commissioned individually by
following procedure detailed and used for the first
module.
15.3.14 Once all modules have been commissioned
switch all modules to the ‘on’ position and take a
dynamic gas inlet pressure test reading to ensure
that the gas supply is sufficient for full operating load
conditions. This should be taken at all boiler
modules to ensure the supply is satisfactory at all
boilers.

20.0 Propane (LPG) firing (G31)
Note. It is strongly recommended that, on LPG
installations, gas detection equipment is fitted. This
equipment should be positioned near the boiler and
at low level. It is important that the space housing
the boiler is adequately ventilated at high and low
level.
For single module installations, ie 1 x Milborne 501,
the boiler must not be installed in a room or
compartment located below ground level. BS6798.
For multiple module installations, ie 1 x Milborne
502 or greater, the boiler must not be installed in a
plant room located below ground level. BS6644.
Installation.
The design and operation of the Milborne 500 series
boiler using LPG-propane (3
that on Natural Gas (2
rd
family) I3P is similar to
nd
family) I2H and the design
and installation details in the main body of this guide
should be followed.
There are however differences in the construction
and commissioning requirements of the propane
boiler as follows.
The propane boiler is supplied with a gas orifice
sized 6.50mm dia. fitted to the gas valve/venturi
assembly before leaving the factory. Full
commissioning details are provided in the operation
and commissioning manual.
LPG kits can also be supplied separately if required
to convert the boilers from Natural Gas to LPG on
site. To order additional LPG conversion kits please
contact Hamworthy Heating Ltd to order the
required number of kits quoting part number
573407132. One kit will be required for each 50kW
module, ie;
Milborne 501 1 kits.
Milborne 502 2 kits.
Full details for fitting the LPG kit to the boiler are
provided in the operation and commissioning
manual.
During commissioning the parameters must be set
for propane firing to ensure correct fan speeds for
ignition and operation are maintained. Hamworthy
Heating Ltd strongly recommend that the Milborne
500 series boiler is commissioned by our engineers.
This will ensure that the boiler is operating correctly
and efficiently.

LPG Conversion Kit
(HHL Part No. 573407132)
The LPG kit is supplied with 2 sizes of orifice.
The 6.50mm orifice is used for the majority of
installations. However, the 6.75mm orifice is
occasionally used in special circumstances, see
Section 21.7
21.0 Procedure for Converting boiler from
Natural Gas to LPG.
21.1 Ensure that the boiler is isolated from both the
electrical supply and the gas supply. Remove the
front cover to gain access to the internal boiler
assemblies.
21.2 Gas Valve and Inlet Assembly
Figure 21.2 shows the gas valve and air inlet
assemblies of the boiler. Where the boiler has two
(2) modules then both modules will need to be
modified for LPG gas supply.
Figure 21.2

21.3 The following operations can be performed on
the boiler in situ. For clarity purposes the
illustrations show the assemblies removed from the
boiler.

Venturi
Figure 21.3
21.4 To separate the venturi from the gas valve
remove the 3 screws as indicated in figure 21.4.
When the parts are separated access to the gas
valve air inlet passage is possible.
3 off securing screws
21.5 Gas Valve Air Inlet Passage
Following separation of the venturi from the gas
valve the rubber seal will be clearly visible, see fig
21.5. All Milborne’s are supplied Natural Gas as
standard so there will be no orifice fitted to the gas
valve air inlet passage.
21.6 Fitting the LPG Orifice
The LPG orifice consists of a precisely drilled
washer of 6.5mm internal diameter. This orifice is to
be fitted in the gas valve air inlet port. There is no
need to remove the rubber seal to complete this
operation.

500001130/A
NOTE: In certain circumstances it is necessary
to fit a larger LPG orifice to the gas valve air
inlet port. If poor ignition is experienced after
commissioning the boiler then the larger orifice
may be fitted. It is important to commission the
boiler first, as correctly setting the gas valve
offset for clean combustion may overcome
initial poor ignition.
The alternative LPG orifice is sized at 6.75mm
internal diameter and is fitted in exactly the same
way as the 6.5mm diameter orifice. If fitting the
larger orifice then the 6.5mm diameter orifice must
first be removed.
Notes:
1. The procedure for modification and
adjustment of the parameters at the Master
Control Panel of the Milborne 501 and Milborne
502 Master Boilers is detailed in Section 19.0 of
this manual.
2. Once the boiler has been modified for LPG
firing it is essential to complete the full
commissioning procedure to all boiler modules
as detailed in Section 15.0
3. If after commissioning, the larger orifice has
to be installed then the full commissioning
procedure as detailed in Section 15.0 must again
be completed.
Figure 21.8
21.8 Reassembly Procedure
Ensure that all the components that have been
removed and modified are clean. Position the
venturi to the gas valve and refit 3 screws that were
previously removed in step 21.4. Ensure the 3
screws are securely tightened to prevent leaks at
the venturi to gas valve joint.
21.9 Modifying the Boiler Parameter, Master
Boiler Only
It is essential to modify the boiler parameter number
36 to identfy the type of gas being used. This must
also take account of the flue length as indicated in
the table below. To modify the parameter it is
necessary to reinstate the gas and electrical
supplies.
WARNING! As the boiler MUST NOT fire before
the parameter is modified ensure that there is no
demand for heat from any of the connected
circuits and time clock controls.
