INTRODUCTION
GENERAL INFORMATION AND
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
- Immediately shut off the gas supply.
- Ventilate the boiler room.
- Do not use electrical appliances and do not switch anything on or
off.
- Immediately notify your gas company and/or your installer.
General information
This documentation forms part of the items delivered with the
appliance and must be given to the user to keep in a safe place!
This appliance must be serviced and repaired by an approved
installer, in accordance with current standards in force.
ACV declines all liability for any damage caused as a result of
incorrect installation or as a result of the use of components or
connections that are not approved by ACV for this application.
Temperatures
This boiler is designed for central heating systems
with a maximum outlet temperature of 90°C.
Therefore, the central heating pipelines and the
radiators must reach this temperature.
The waste-gas pipe lines must reach
temperatures in excess of 100°C.
The hot water can reach temperatures in excess
of 60°C.
Installation
Before installing and commissioning the boiler, first
carefully read this manual.
Position the HeatMaster®according to the safety rules and
standards in force. You must comply with the ventilation
requirements for the room where appliances of this type are
installed. All air vents must remain unobstructed at all times.
It is prohibited to modify the interior of the appliance in any way,
without the manufacturer’s prior written agreement.
Service
In order to ensure the appliance operates safely and correctly, it is
important to have it serviced and reconditioned every year by an
installer or an approved service company.
Faults
Despite the strict quality standards imposed on its appliances by
ACV during production, inspection, and transport, faults may occur.
Please immediately inform your approved installer about such faults.
Remember to give the fault code as it appears on the screen.
(See
also the list of faults on page 16)
Only genuine factory parts may be used as replacement parts.
Please go to page 22 for a list of spare parts and their ACV
reference numbers.
Note: ACV reserves the right to change the technical characteristics
and specification of its products without notices.
USING THE BOILER
Starting the burner
During operation, the burner starts automatically as soon as the
temperature of the boiler is below the set point and goes off when
this value is reached.
Control panel
The user must not attempt to gain access to the components
inside the control panel.
Heating system pressure
From time to time you may need to top up the heating
system pressure. This pressure is indicated by the combined
temperature and pressure gauge on the boiler control panel.
The minimum pressure when the boiler is cold should be 1 bar.The
precise operating pressure required depends on the height of the
building, and your installer will have informed you of this value at the
time of installation
(see Commissioning Section - Filling the hot water and
heating circuits)
.
If the pressure falls below 1 bar, the boiler water pressure switch will
turn the boiler off until pressure is restored.
To re-pressurise, the system needs to be topped up with water.
First, switch the boiler OFF on the on/off switch and isolate the
external electrical supply. The fill valves A and B are located at the
rear of the HeatMaster
®
(
see photo A and B below).
Open both valves
and allow thesystem to fill. When the combined temperature and
pressure gauge shows the required pressure, close both valves.
Replace the casing top front panel. Restore the power supply and
switch the boiler on.
Safety Valves
If water discharges from any of the safety valves, switch the boiler
off and call a service engineer.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The HeatMaster®is a high performance, direct fired hot water
storage heater, which has indirect heat transfer due to its Tank-inTank construction.
At the heart of the HeatMaster
®
is a stainless steel cylinder through
which the flue tubes pass. This is surrounded by a mild steel shell
containing the primary water
(neutral fluid)
. The outer shell extends
down to the combustion chamber and even around the flue tubes.
The area of the heat transfer surface is therefore much greater than
that of standard direct fired water heaters.
A circulating pump fitted to the primary circuit moves the water
around the tank, heating it faster and maintaining an even
temperature across the primary jacket.
The burner heats the primary water, which indirectly heats the
stainless steel tank containing the hot water. As in all Tank-in-Tank
systems, the tank is corrugated over its full height and suspended in
the HeatMaster
®
by its hot- and cold water connections.
The cylinder expands and contracts during use and this, together
with the fact that cold water does not come into contact with the
intense heat of the burner flame, means that limescale buildup is
prevented.
This scale resistant feature, along with the corrosion resistance of
stainless steel, eliminates the need for sacrifical anodes.
The HeatMaster
®
has one very major advantage over other direct
fired water heaters - because it heats the DHW with a primary
circuit, this primary water can be used to provide central heating as
well.
By connecting two, three, four or more HeatMaster
®
together in a
module, most hot water and heating demands can be met.
Indeed, when used in conjunction with HR and Jumbo hot water
storage tanks the HeatMaster
®
can supply even the largest hot
water requirement.

DESCRIPTION
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
Outer body
The outer body containing the primary fluid is made of thick STW 22
steel.
TANK-IN-TANK heat exchanger
The ring-shaped inner tank with its large heating surface for
producing domestic hot water is built of Chrome/Nickel 18/10
stainless steel. It is corrugated over its full height by an exclusive
production process and entirely argon arc welded by the TIG
(Tungsten Inert Gas) method.
Combustion gas circuit
The combustion gas circuit is paint-protected and comprises:
• Flue pipes
The HeatMaster®201 range has 15 steel flue ways with an
inside diameter of 64 mm. Each flue way has turbulators
made of special stainless steel designed to improve the heat
exchange and reduce the flue-gas outlet temperature.
• Combustion chamber
The combustion chamber on HeatMaster®models is entirely
water cooled.
Insulation
The boiler body is fully insulated by rigid polyurethane foam with a
high thermal insulation coefficient, sprayed on without the use of
CFCs.
Casing
The boiler is covered by a steel jacket which has been scoured and
phosphated before being stove enamelled at 220°C.
Burner
Models in the 201 range are always delivered with an ACV
BG 2000-M 201 air-gas premix burner.

DOMESTIC HOT WATER PERFORMANCES
HEATMASTER®SETTING INSTRUCTIONS
Description
The HeatMaster®201 range is equipped with an electronic
controller (MCBA) which controls the burner (start-up, safety, and
modulation) and allows the controller to be adapted to the selected
application.
The MCBA system includes a controller with 3 levels for setting the
parameters: manufacturer, installer, and user. It includes 3
temperature sensors located in the primary and secondary circuits.
There are two operating modes:
1. Heating mode
The T° is set by the user in the range 60 to 90°C.
• Differential “ON” starts the burner.
• Differential “OFF” stops the burner.
• PI controller (Proportional Integral) in “Heating” mode.
• The controller compares the primary temperature with the
setting and the module.
The room thermostat detects the demand for heat.
2. Hot water mode
(with priority to the hot water)
The T° is set by the user in the range 60 to 90°C.
The sensor located in the secondary tank detects the demand for
hot water.
As soon as the draw-off is detected, the controller goes to “demand
for hot water” mode:
• Differential “ON” starts the burner.
• Differential “OFF” stops the burner.
• PI controller (Proportional Integral) in “Hot water” mode.
• The controller compares the primary temperature with the
setting and the module.
• The charging pump starts up.
• The heating circulator pump is no longer supplied.
• The burner starts and the controller controls the modulation
based on the primary pump.
Parameters accessible by the user
1. “Hot water” temperature, which can be set to 20 - 90°C.
2. Hot water mode ON/OFF.
3. Heating mode: ON/OFF.
4. “Heating” temperature, which can be set to 60 - 90°C.
Parameters accessible for “service”
Main basic characteristics:
- Hot water priority active.
- Demand for heat detected by the room thermostat.
- Only one heating circuit.
An access code is required to access “Service” parameters.
