construction regulations and requirements on combustion heating in
the country of installation.
The appliance must be installed, commissioned and subject to
maintenance in accordance with the current "state of the art". is also
applies to the hydraulic system, the ue exhaust system, the installation
room and the electrical system.
Failure to observe the above regulations will void
the warranty.
1.6 INSTALLATION
When the appliance is installed on existing systems, make sure that:
- e ue is suitable for condensation appliances, for the temperatures
of the combustion products, calculated and built in accordance with
regulations in force. at is it a straight as possible, water-tight and
insulated and does not have any obstructions or constrictions.
- e ue is equipped with an attachment to evacuate the condensation.
- e heating control unit is equipped with a pipe for the evacuation
of the condensation produced by the boiler.
- e electrical system is built in accordance with specic regulations
and qualied technical personnel.
- e ow rate, head and direction of ow of the circulation pumps is
appropriate.
- e fuel feed line and any existing tanks are set up in accordance with
regulations in force.
- e expansion vessels ensure complete absorption of the dilation of
the uid contained in the system.
- Slurry and build-up have been cleaned out of the system.
If ARES Tec is being installed on existing Systems:
If it is possible to schedule the replacement, it is necessary to wash
the system preventively, with alkaline dispersants. Washing must be
carried out four weeks prior to replacement, with a system operating
between 35°C - 40°C.
Attention!
If the new boiler has been replaced in an old system
without having preventively washed it as described
above, do not wash the system, as any residues of
the product in the circuit may ll the generator with
residues aer replacement.
It is advisable to contact a company specialised in
water treatment.
Otherwise, if ARES Tec is being installed on a new system it is advisable
to wash it thoroughly in any case, using products that are suitable for
the entire system, and install a Y-strainer with two cut-o valves on the
return pipe to the boiler, so that it can be cleaned as needed.
is lter will protect the boiler from sediments coming from the
heating system.
In both cases it is necessary to keep the head losses localised in the
primary circuit, for the correct sizing of the pump.

General information
1.7 WATER TREATMENT
Treating the supply water allows you to prevent problems and
maintain the functionality and eciency of the generator over time.
e purpose of this treatment is to eliminate or signicantly reduce
problems that can be outlined as:
build-up
corrosion
sediments
biological growth (mould, fungus, algae, bacteria, etc.)
e chemical analysis of the water provides a lot of information on the
state and "health" of the system.
e pH level is a numerical indication of the acidity or alkalinity of
a solution.
e pH scale goes from 0 to 14, where 7 corresponds to neutral.
Values below 7 indicate acidity, values above 7 indicate alkalinity.
e ideal pH value in heating systems with aluminium boilers is
between 6.5 and 8, with a hardness of 15°F.
Water in a system with a pH value outside of this range considerably
accelerates the destruction of the protective oxide layer which forms
naturally inside the aluminium bodies, and would not occur naturally:
if the pH level is lower than 6 it contains acid, if it is above 8 the water is
alkaline, either due to an alkaline treatment (for example phosphates or
glycols operating as antifreeze) or in some cases the natural generation
of alkalis in the system.
Vice versa, if the pH value is between 6.5 and 8, the aluminium surfaces
in the body are passivated and protected from further corrosive attacks.
To minimise corrosion, it is essential to use a corrosion inhibitor.
In order for it to work eciently, however, the metal surfaces must
be clean.
The best inhibitors on the market also contain an aluminium
protection system that stabilises the pH levels of the ller water,
preventing sudden changes (buer eect).
It is advisable to systematically check (at least twice a year) the
pH value of the water in the system. In order to do so a chemical
laboratory analysis is not required, but a simple check using a
analysis "kit" contained in a carry cases, easily available on the
market.
It will therefore be necessary to set up the devices shown in the gure
in the heating system.
THE COUPLING MUST BE SET UP ON THE
RETURN PIPE TO THE PRIMARY CIRCUIT
DOWNSTREAM OF THE PUMP.
All of the precautions required to avoid the formation and localisation of
oxygen in the water of the system. For this reason the plastic pipes used
in the under-oor heating systems must not be permeable to oxygen.
Make sure that any anti-freeze products are compatible with aliminium
and any other parts and materials in the system.
ATTENTION!
Any damage caused to the boiler, due to the formation
of build-up or corrosive water, will not be covered by
the warranty.

e supply pipe must have a section equal to or larger than the one used
in the boiler and must nevertheless provide the correct gas pressure.
It is nevertheless advisable to adhere to the standard specications
and requirements in force, setting up a cut-o valve, gas lter, antivibration joint, etc.
Before commissioning an internal gas distribution system and therefore,
before connecting it to the meter, it is necessary to thoroughly check
the seal.
If any part of the system is not in view, the sealing test must be carried
out before covering the pipe.
Danger!
e gas connection must be set up by an authorised
installation technician who must observe and apply
the contents of the legislation in force and the local
requirements of the gas supply company, as incorrect
installation can cause damage to people, animals
and property, for which the manufacturer will not
be held liable.
Before installation it is advisable to clean the inside
of the fuel intake pipe thoroughly, in order to remove
any residues that could stop the boiler from operating
sm oot hly.
If you notice the smell of gas:
a) Do not work the electrical switches, the telephone
or any other object that can generate sparks;
b) Immediately open doors and windows to create an
air current that puries the room;
c) Close the gas valves;
d) Seek the assistance of professionally qualified
personnel.
In order to prevent any gas leaks it is advisable to install
a surveillance and protection system composed of a gas
leak detector combined with a cut-o electrovalve on
the fuel supply line.
e heating ow and return must be connected to the boiler by the
respective 4" ttings F and R as indicated in parag. 2.3.
For heating circuit pipe sizing it is necessary to take into account
the head losses induced by the components of the system and its
conguration.
e layout of the pipes must be set up taking every necessary precaution
to avoid air pockets and to facilitate continuous degassing of the system.
ATTENTION!
Before connecting the boiler to the system proceed
by thoroughly washing the pipes terminating at the
boiler with a suitable product, in compliance with
standards, in order to eliminate metal residues from
machining and welding, any oil and grease that could
aect its operation.
Do not use solvents to wash the system, as they might
damage the system and/or its components.

3.11 DETERMINING THE PRIMARY
CIRCUIT PUMP OR BOILER PUMP
Immergas provides a series of primary rings complete with an accurately
sized pump, if alternative solutions are being used, the boiler pump
must have a head that is capable of ensuring the ow rates represented
in the "Water side head losses" graph.
e pumps must be determined by the installer or
designer based on the data for the boiler and system.
e resistance curve on the water side of the boiler is
represented in the table provided below.
e pump is not an integral part of the boiler.
It is advisable to choose a pump with a ow rate and
head of approximately 2/3 of its typical curve.
e table below roughly indicates the ow rates of the pump based
on the Δt of the primary circuit if the installation is equipped with a
hydraulic separator.

Nominal requested ow rate in l/h (Δt = 20 K)1824322804273653192636487
EXAMPLE:
For a T 20K, of an ARES 900 Tec the maximum
required ow rate is 36,289 l/h.
From the head loss graph it is possible to deduce that
the pump must ensure a head of at least 1.8 m/H2O.
3.12 BALL VALVES
It is advisable to install cut-o ball valves on the ow and return pipes
of the system.
ATTENTION!
NEVER CUT OFF SAFETY DEVICES FROM THE
GENERATOR, such as the safety valve and expansion
vessel.
In this way the boiler, during scheduled/unscheduled
maintenance, can be disconnected or emptied without
emptying the entire system.
NOTE: It is always advisable to set up a hydraulic compensator
between the boiler circuit and the system circuit. It becomes
ESSENTIAL if the system requires greater flow rates than the
maximum allowed by the boiler, i.e. ∆t below 15K.

3.14 CONDENSATE DRAIN
e condensate drain into the sewer must be:
- built to avoid gaseous combustion products from leaking out into the
environment or the sewer (trap).
- sized and built to allow liquid discharge to runo correctly, preventing
any leaks (gradient of 3%).
- installed to avoid the liquid contained in it from freezing, under the
envisioned operating conditions.
- can be easily inspected from the relative trap
- mixed with household wastewater, for example, (washing machine
and dish washer drains etc.) with a mainly alkaline pH so as to form
a buer solution to send it into the sewers.
e condensate must not be le to stagnate in the combustion product
drainage system (for this very reason the evacuation pipe must be set
up at an inclination of at least 30 mm/m, running towards the drain)
except for any liquid head, in the drain trap of the combustion product
evacuation system (which must be lled aer installation and at a
minimum height with all of the fans operating at maximum speed of
at least 25 mm) - see gure.
It is forbidden to drain the condensate towards rain pipes, given the
risk of ice and degradation of materials normally used to build the rain
pipes themselves.
e drain tting must be visible.
Given the degree of acidity of the condensate (pH between 3 and 5)
suitable plastic materials must be used to build the drain pipes.
e condensate drain pipe outlet is set up towards the connection
side of the ue box manifold, removing the pre-sectioned part on the
cover panel.
e recommended material for use must be PE (polyethylene) or PPI
(polypropylene).
Before igniting the generator, ll the trap through

3.15 CONNECTING THE FLUE
Exhaust is discharged at very low temperatures (Max 84°C approx) in
condensation boilers. It is therefore necessary for the ue to be perfectly
impermeable to combustion product condensate and built with suitable
corrosion-resistant materials.
e various slip on joints must be well-sealed and equipped with suitable
gaskets to stop condensation from leaking out and air from getting in.
In terms of ue section and height, it is necessary to refer to national
and local regulations in force.
Refer to regulations in force for sizing.
In order to avoid the formation of ice during operation, the temperature
of the inside wall at every point in the combustion product evacuation
system, for its entire length, must not drop below 0°C.
For condensation operating conditions of the appliance at project
outdoor temperatures, it will be necessary to build a confluent
condensate drainage system, based on the installation conditions, either
to the boiler collection tank or separate from it.
The flue exhaust pipe must comply with local and national
regulations.
e evacuation pipe must be built using materials that are resistant
to the combustion products, typically class W1 certied stainless
steel or plastic materials.
Such as PVDF (polyvinyldimethyluoride) or PPS (simple translucent
polypropylene) or aluminium or other materials with the same features,
in observance of regulation in force.
e supplier is excluded from any contractual and
extra-contractual liability for damage caused by
errors in installation and use and nevertheless due
to failure to observe the instructions provided by
the manufacturer.

3.17 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Have professionally qualied personnel make sure the electrical system
is suitable for the maximum power absorbed by the appliance, as stated
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Electrical safety of the appliance is only ensured when it is correctly
connected to an ecient earthing system as specied by current safety
standards: gas, water and heating system pipes are not suitable in any
way whatsoever as earthing connections.
It is necessary to check this fundamental safety requirement; In case
of doubt, have an accurate inspection of the electrical system carried
out by professionally qualied personnel, as the manufacturer is not
responsible for any damage caused by the lack of a earthing connection
in the system.
on the plate, making sure in particular that the section of the system's
cables is suitable for the power absorbed by the appliance.
For the main power supply to the appliance, never use adapters, multiple
sockets and/or extension leads.
e use of components involving use of electrical power requires some
fundamental rules to be observed such as:
- do not touch the appliance with wet and/or moist parts of the body
and/or barefoot;
- do not pull the electric cables;
- the appliance may not be used by children or unskilled individuals.
e electrical connections are illustrated in section "PRACTICAL
CONNECTION DIAGRAM".
e installation of the boiler requires an electrical connection to a 230
V - 50 Hz network: is connection must be set up by state of the art,
as envisioned by IEC regulations in force.
ATTENTION!
Also bear in mind that, upstream of the supply,
it will be necessary to set up a service relay (NOT
SUPPLIED) that, when the electrical safety devices
are triggered, cuts o the electrical supply to the fuel
cut-o valve installed on the gas supply circuit, but
not to electrical supply the boiler, so as to ensure
pump operation and therefore boiler cooling.
Danger!
Electrical installation must only be carried out by an
authorised technician.
Before setting up the connections or any operation on
the electrical parts, always cut-o the electrical supply
and make sure it cannot be accidentally re-connected.
Remember that it is necessary to install a bipolar switch on the electrical
supply to the boiler with a max distance between the contacts of 3
mm, easy to access, so that maintenance operations can be carried out
quickly and safely. e electrical supply to the boiler, 230 V - 50 Hz
single phase, must be carried out on point A, included, with a H05VV-F
(PHASE - NEUTRAL - GROUND) three-pole cable with a section
between 0.75 mm and 1.5 mm.
ATTENTION:
Cables carrying a voltage of 230 V must travel
separately from cables carrying a voltage of 24 V.

Immergas will not be held liable in case of damage
caused to people, animals or property due to failure
to observe the above.
Once all of the connections for the system have been set up, it is possible
to ll the circuit.
EXAMPLE OF SYSTEM LOADING UNIT
To ll the system it is possible to set up a loading valve on the system's
return pipe.
It can also be lled through the drain valve installed on the boiler
return manifold.
e boiler is equipped with an emptying valve, positioned as indicated
in the gure of parag. 2.2. is valve must never be used to empty the
system, since all of the dirt contained in the system may accumulate
in the boiler, jeopardising smooth operation. Accordingly, the system
must be equipped with its own emptying valve, of a suitable size for
the ow rate of the system.

If the ow temperature (measured at the global ow NTC) should fall
below 7°C the system pump starts operating.
If the temperature drops any further (under 3°C), all modules are
commissioned at the minimum power until the return temperature does
not reach 10°C. is device protects the boiler only. In order to protect
the system as well, it is necessary to add antifreeze liquid.
NB: e antifreeze liquid must be compatible with materials present
in the entire system and tolerable for aluminium alloys.

3.26 FIRST IGNITION
Preliminary checks.
First ignition must be carried out by professionally
qualied sta. Immergas will not be held liable in case
of damage caused to people, animals or property due
to failure to observe the above.
Danger!
Prior to commissioning the appliance ll the trap
through the ller hole and make sure the condensate
is draining correctly.
If the appliance is used with an empty condensate
drain trap the danger of poisoning subsists following
a ue gas leak.
Prior to commissioning the boiler it is advisable to make sure that:
- installation fulls the standard specications and requirements in
force for both the gas and electrical part;
- the supply of combustion air and the evacuation of ue exhaust are
carried out correctly in accordance with standard specications and
requirements in force;
- the fuel supply system is sized for the boiler's ow rate and is equipped
with all of the safety and control devices required by regulations in
force;
- the power supply for the boiler is 230V - 50Hz;
- the system has been lled with water;
- any cut-o dampers on the system are open;
- the required gas corresponds to the one used for boiler calibration:
otherwise have the boiler converted for use with the available gas (see
section: "ADAPTATION FOR USE WITH OTHER GASES"); this
operation must be carried out by qualied technical sta in accordance
with regulations in force;
- the gas supply valve is open;
- there are no gas leaks;
- the external main switch is engaged;
- the system safety valve on the boiler responds to operation and is
connected to the sewer drain;
- the condensate drain trap is lled with water;
- there are no water leaks;
- the conditions for aeration and minimum distances to carry out any
maintenance operations are fullled.
Switching the boiler on and o.
To turn the boiler on and o read the handbook for the TGC regulator.
Information for the system manager
e individual in charge of the system must be instructed in the use
and operation of the heating system, in particular:
- Supply the system manager with the "THE SYSTEM MANAGER'S
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE", as well as all other documents attached
the appliance contained in the envelope in the packaging. e system
manager must keep this documentation safe so that it is available
for future consultation.
- Inform the system manager of the importance of aeration vents and
the ue exhaust system, highlighting how essential they are and how
it is strictly forbidden to change them.
- Inform the system manager of the requirement to check the system's
water pressure, as well as operations to restore it.
- Inform the system manager on how to correctly regulate the
temperature, control units/thermostats and radiators in order to save
energy.
- Remember that it is compulsory to carry out regular maintenance on
the system and measure combustion output (as per national law).
- If the appliance is sold or transferred to another owner or if the owner
moves, leaving the appliance behind, always ensure the handbook
accompanies the appliance so that it may be consulted by the new
owner and/or installer.

Inspections and maintenance
INSPECTIONS AND
4
MAINTENANCE
Inspections and maintenance carried out to state
of the art and at regular intervals, as well as the
exclusive use of original spare parts, are of primary
importance for smooth operation and to guarantee
long boiler life.
Annual maintenance of the appliance is compulsory,
in accordance with Legislation in force.
Failure to carry out Inspections and Maintenance can
cause material and personal damage.
For this reason we recommend stipulating an inspection or maintenance
contract.
Inspection is required to determine the eective state of an appliance
and compare it with the optimal state. is is carried out through
measuring, checking, observing.
Maintenance is required to eliminate any deviation of the eective state
from the optimal state. is is usually carried out through cleaning,
setting and possibly replacing single parts that are subject to wear.
ese maintenance intervals are set forth by a specialist based on the
certied state of the appliance at the time of inspection.
Instructions for inspection and maintenance.
Only original Immergas spare parts must be used
to ensure a long life for all of the functions of your
appliance, and to avoid changing the conditions of
the approved standard product.
Before proceeding with maintenance operations, always carry out the
procedures described below:
- Turn o the mains switch.
- Separate the appliance from the electrical network using a separation
device, with a contact opening of at least 3 mm (for ex. safety devices
or power switches), and make sure it cannot be accidentally reconnected.
- Shut the gas cut-o valve upstream of the boiler.
- If necessary, and based on the work that needs to be carried out, close
any cut-o valves on the heating ow and return.
Once the maintenance work has been nished, always carry out the
operations listed below:
- If necessary, open the heating ow and return.
- Relieve and, if necessary, restore the pressure in the heating system.
- Open the gas cut-o valve.
- Re-connect the appliance to the electrical network and engage the
mains switch.
- Make sure the appliance is water-tight, on the gas side and the water
side.
Table of resistance values based on the heating probe (SR) and the
heating return probe (SRR) temperature.
Relation between the temperature (°C) and nom. resistance (Ohm) of
the heating probe SR and the heating return probe SRR.
Example: At 25°C, the nominal resistance is 10067 Ohm
At 90°C, the nominal resistance is 920 Ohm
48
Page 49
We urge you to have qualied technical sta full
requirements regarding periodic maintenance
checks.
Since dust is extracted from the inside, the resistance on the ue side,
through the boiler, will increase, leading to a decrease in the heat load
(and, consequentially, in the power).
Prior to cleaning, check the heat load (see parag. 3.24) and the
percentage of CO2 (see parag. 3.24). If the measured load (with a correct
CO2 level) is within 5% of the value indicated in parag. 3.24, the boiler
does not need to be cleaned.
e operation must therefore be limited to cleaning the trap.
Inspections and maintenance
ATTENTION!
A drop in the heat load can be caused by an obstruction
in the exhaust channel or air intake pipe. First of all
make sure that this is not the cause.
If there is a drop in the heat load greater than 5%, check
how clean the burner condensate-collection pan is. Also
clean the trap.
First phase – Disassembly.
- Shut o the electrical and gas supplies making sure the valve is rmly
shut.
- Take out: all of the casings.
- Act on the two rear closing hinges to take out the cover.
- Take out the rear, front and side casing clamping screws.
- Turn the required screw to li the cover.
- Take out the two cover clamping screws.

Inspections and maintenance
Second phase – Cleaning.
- Take out the gaskets and burners.
- Dry clean the burners using compressed air and operating from the
"ame side".
- Visually check the state of the welding on the angulars and burner
mesh.
The burner gaskets must be replaced every time
cleaning operations are carried out.
- Wash the combustion chamber with water being careful not to get
the electrical cables wet.
- During this operation is necessary to make sure that the condensate
exhaust pipe is always unobstructed so that the wash water does not
leak out from the inspection opening.
- Blow the combustion chamber with compressed air to remove any
dirt that is still attached to the studs.
- When the elements have been washed make sure that the condensate
drain trap is unobstructed: clean if necessary.
- Inspect the exhaust evacuation pipe and the ue.
ird phase - Reassembly.
- Once the body and/or burners have been cleaned, put the burners
back in their places.
- Put the new graphite gaskets in place.
Proceed in the reverse order for reassembly, being
careful to tighten the screws that clamp the mixer
unit/fans to the body, at a torque of 13 Nm.
ATTENTION
IT IS NECESSARY TO CHANGE THE SEALING
GASKETS ON EACH BURNER AT EVERY
MAINTENANCE OPERATION.
- Prior to ignition, make sure the condensate drain trap is full of water.
- Before opening the gas supply valve make sure that the previously
loosened gas tting is rmly tightened. In order to do so open the
valve and check the seal using soapy water.
- As a burner is being ignited, immediately check the seal between each
single gas valve and relative premixing chamber.
- Perform a combustion analysis and check the parameters.
- Make sure that all of the previously opened gas pressure points are
closed.
