twisting at the waist - reposition the feet instead. Avoid upper body bending when holding the appliance and keep the boiler as close to the body as possible.

Before hanging the appliance on the wall it is best to store the appliance laid on its back with the casing on. When ready to hang the boiler on the wall remove the casing and place to one side. At this stage it is assumed that the wall bracket is correctly positioned and secured on the wall face.

a)Have the wall bracket nut and washers to hand so that they can be accessed whilst holding the boiler in position on its mounting bracket.

b)The boiler has a dry weight of 43 kg (95 lbs) and will therefore require at least two people to lift without the use of lifting aids - ensure co-ordinated movements during lift. Always use assistance if required.

c)Lift the boiler by gripping at the four corners of the boiler back plate. When lifting this appliance the back should be kept straight at all times. Avoid twisting at the waist - reposition the feet instead. Avoid upper body bending when holding the appliance and keep the boiler as close to the body as possible.

d)Lift the boiler and locate onto the stud and the two pegs of the wall mounting bracket.

e)Place the wall mounting bracket washers over the bracket stud protruding through the back plate of the boiler.

f)Secure the boiler onto the wall bracket by fixing the wall mounting bracket nut onto the wall bracket stud. This must be tightened well.

Safety footwear and gloves are recommended PPE when lifting this appliance - to protect against sharp edges and ensure good grip.

The Qudos 28s and Qudos 28sP boilers can be fitted in compartments with very small clearances required around the appliance (refer to Section 3.1). Due consideration should therefore be given to access within the compartment for lifting and positioning.

1. USER INSTRUCTIONS

1.1INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing this Keston Qudos 28s for your household heating. The boiler is designed to be very straightforward to operate and has no user serviceable parts inside the cabinet. The following instructions are to provide you with information on the operation and maintenance of your Qudos 28s and what to do in the unlikely event of a fault.

These user instructions should be read carefully to ensure safe and economical use of your Qudos 28s or Qudos 28sP. The Qudos 28s model is for use with natural gas only, the Qudos 28sP model is for use with LPG only.

1.2MAINTENANCE Servicing

To ensure continual safe and efficient operation and to maintain product warranties it is a requirement that the appliance is checked and serviced at least once per year. It is the law that any servicing must be carried out by a competent person. Removal of the appliance cabinet by anyone other than a competent person will automatically invalidate the appliance warranty.

Clearances

If fixtures are to be positioned close to the boiler, the following minimum clearances must be observed: Top 150mm, Left 5mm, Right 5mm, Base 200mm, Front 10mm. Extended clearance is required to the front for servicing (300mm).

Cleaning

Normal case cleaning only requires dusting with a dry cloth. To remove more stubborn marks wipe with a damp cloth and finish with a dry cloth.

1.3BOILER SETUP & OPERATION

Check that the gas supply from the gas meter is turned on. Switch on the electrical supply to the boiler. The display will now run through a self check procedure. Set any controls to call for heat.

To light the boiler

The Qudos 28s features two temperature controls to allow different settings depending on the source of the demand, i.e. heating or hot water. Identify which setting is demanded. Using the “ ” on the left of the display, select the setpoint you wish to adjust, generally the one indicated by a radiator symbol with a “1” to the left. Set the required temperature using the “+” or “-” buttons associated with the heating zones or hot water temperature. After the selection of the desired temperatures press ENTER and then preset “RESET” to return to the normal display.

If the actual temperature is less than the desired temperature the boiler will fire and, after a few seconds, a “flame” will appear on the display to show that the boiler is alight.

NB: Where the demand is via 0-10VDC or Opentherm the boiler setpoint is set using the external controller in use.

WD420/3/2007	Chapter 1 : User Instructions		The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers

Normal Operation

During normal operation the digital display will show the current boiler temperature and will show relevant operational symbols to confirm what action the boiler is taking. If the “radiator”,

or “ ” symbol is shown on the display the boiler is receiving a demand for that function.

Fault Modes

In the event that the boiler detects a situation which it considers to be a fault the display will change to show a flashing fault code starting with an “E” and then a two digit number. The table below explains these codes and the action you should take.

Display	Description of fault
E02	Ignition lockout - the boiler has attempted to light five times and not succeeded - check
	the gas supply is on.
E04	Flame failure whilst running - the boiler is having difficulty maintaining the flame.
	Consult your Service Engineer and check for flue, gas supply or condensate drainage
	obstruction
E12	Flow overheat - the boiler has exceeded it maximum water temperature. Check that any
	by-pass is open and the controls are operating correctly
E26 or	The system water pressure is too low. Check the system has water in and, for sealed
E67	systems, top up the system water pressure to restore a pressure of between 1 and 2
	bar. (Consult your installer for instruction how to top up water pressure - repeated need
	for restoration of water pressure indicates a system leak which should be investigated)
E25	The boiler temperature is rising too fast - ask your Service Engineer to check for
	system blockage or pump failure.
E52	The flue temperature is too high. Consult your Service Engineer - SERVICE RESET
	REQUIRED
E62	Water pressure too high - check that the system water pressure top-up valve has not
	been left open or consult your installer to check the expansion vessel.
E70	The cabinet has overheated - consult your Service Engineer before operating the boiler
	further - SERVICE RESET REQUIRED

The above is an abbreviated list of possible error codes. If the code is not in the list above consult a GAS SAFE REGISTER registered engineer. A full list of codes can be found in Chapter 6 of this manual. If a code appears and you feel the original cause has been rectified and it has not been designated as requiring a “Service Reset”, press the “Reset” button to resume boiler operation. Otherwise, or if the code persists consult a GAS SAFE REGISTER registered engineer.

Raise up the system pressure until error E67 or E26 disappears from display (the boiler will enter in standby mode or will start to fire up if a heat demand exists). To check the system pressure press the “ ” button repeatedly until the display shows the water pressure, indicated by the word “bar” to the right of the number. To return to main screen press the RESET button.

Precautions

Care must be taken at all times to ensure that no blockage or obstruction is present in the condensate drainage line. In addition, the air intake and flue exhaust terminals must be free from obstruction at all times.

Care should be taken not to damage the condensate trap protruding from the base of the boiler. Any sign of leakage of this part should be reported to a GAS SAFE REGISTER registered engineer immediately. If the part becomes broken the boiler should be turned off and a GAS SAFE REGISTER registered engineer contacted to make a repair.

Any indication of leakage from the boiler cabinet should be investigates by a GAS SAFE REGISTER engineer.

Frost Protection

The Qudos 28s has an integral frost protection function. However, care should also be taken that any exposed pipework is adequately insulated to prevent freezing.

2. GENERAL INSTRUCTION

2.1DESCRIPTION

The KESTON Qudos 28s and Qudos 28sP boilers utilize the latest in condensing technology to produce a high efficiency boiler with SEDBUK A rated efficiency plus advance controls to maximize operational efficiency.

The Qudos 28s is unique in concept and design. It comprises a high efficiency stainless steel heat exchanger coupled with a low emissions burner to deliver ultra high efficiency condensing mode operation within a compact wall hung cabinet. The unit automatically adjusts gas and air rate according to demand to give a heating input in the range of 7.8kW to 29.4kW (GCV). The integral pump assembly, in the Qudos 28s, is automatically speed controlled to best match water flow rate to heat output & further increase appliance efficiency.

The Qudos 28s has been developed to embrace the concept of advanced controls to ensure the ultra high performance burner and heat exchanger system is run to optimum performance levels whilst provided or exceeding the comfort levels demanded. As a result the boilers feature a host of additional connections for:

-an optional outside sensor to enable the boilers inbuilt weather compensation option which delivers enhanced user comfort levels with peak operating efficiency due to the lower flow temperatures involved.

-an optional “Opentherm” connection point for the Keston Room Control module which provides further advanced user control for room temperature compensation and optimum start.

-optional 0-10VDC input where temperature control is provided by external 3rd party intelligent controls

-optional connection of a DHW thermistor to enable modulated reheat of DHW and optional legionella prevention function

Further, the Qudos 28s is developed with the concept that the gas boiler in the modern home is often supplemented by alternative or renewable energy sources. As a result the Qudos 28s features:

- optional connection of a solar thermal system, pump, panel and DHW sensor, for direct control of solar thermal system from the boiler. Other additional energy source systems, such as Ground Source Heat Pump, will be accommodated soon.

The boilers have the added advantage of very high efficiency, and small diameter muPVC plastic flue which can be extended up to 20 metres horizontally or vertically.

The Keston Qudos 28s uses a variable speed combustion blower to deliver a premix of gas and air to a downward firing burner in a high efficiency, single pass heat exchanger. The flue system is room sealed and fan powered. The ignition is direct spark and fully automatic. The boiler housing is not waterproof and should be installed in a position where it will always be dry. Combustion air is drawn from the cabinet which is connected to outside atmosphere via a small diameter plastic intake pipe. The cabinet therefore remains under negative pressure at all times the boiler is operating.

These boilers are designed for use as part of a sealed water central heating system with fully pumped circulation. The pump, an 8l expansion vessel and associated safety devices are all fitted within the Qudos 28s boiler. However, consideration should be given to additional expansion vessels on larger systems where 8 litres may be inadequate.

The boiler heat exchanger is made from highly corrosion resistant stainless steel in corrugated pipe form which provides massive surface area within a compact dimension. The hot combustion gases from the down firing burner pass around the stainless steel pipes imparting heat into the system water. On the Qudos 28s integral variable speed pump within the appliance cabinet ensures the heat exchanger receives correct water flow when firing. The Qudos 28s is not a high water content boiler and does not contain the metal mass, or water volume, of a cast iron or steel boiler. This boiler is of low mass and low water content and therefore responds faster when there is a call for heat. The Qudos 28 features full user diagnostics, integral frost protection function, automatic pump and fan exercise in periods of inactivity, anti cycle control and dry fire protection.

2.2BOILER SCHEMATIC

Air is drawn into the boiler through a 50 mm muPVC (BS5255 and/or BSEN1566-1 and BSEN1329) plastic pipe or, alternatively, via a 75mm Keston composite plastic pipe. Gas is mixed with combustion air at the inlet to the fan. The gas flow is automatically regulated by the gas valve according to the air flow generated by the fan. The gas and air are thoroughly mixed in the blower and fed into the burner located at the top end of the heat exchanger module. The gas and air mixture is ignited by a direct spark ignition control system and burns with a blue flame just off the surface of the burner. As the hot products of combustion pass downwards, they are cooled by exchanging heat with the circulating water which enters the heat exchanger at the bottom of the heat exchanger. The optimum heat input is detected by monitoring flow and return temperatures and is adjusted by controlling the speed of the fan. The optimum pump speed is also detected and automatically selected by the boiler.

When the return water temperature is below 55oC, part of the water vapour in the combustion products will condense inside the heat exchanger, thus increasing the boiler efficiency further by releasing the latent heat of condensation. This condensate falls to the

Installation & Servicing Instructions

Page : 5

WD420/3/2007 Chapter 2 : General Instruction The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers

bottom of the heat exchanger where it is separated from the flue gases and exits from the boiler through the condensate drain. Any condensate formed in the flue runs back down the flueway and is drained at the base of the flue connection to the heat exchanger or drain points within the flue.

The condensate is very slightly acidic (about the same acidity as vinegar) and should be piped in a plastic pipe. It is not harmful to the waste disposal system and may be disposed of as normal waste water.

The flue gases are piped in a 50 mm muPVC (BS5255 and/or and BSEN1329) plastic or, alternatively, 75mm Keston composite plastic pipe to outside. The temperature of the flue gases are usually around 5oC to 10oC above the temperature of the return water. The flue pipe should be terminated outside the building from where they cannot re-enter the building or any other adjacent building. It should also be terminated such that flue products cannot be drawn into the boiler air intake terminal.

The heating level may be controlled by room thermostats, programmer time clocks and compatible energy management systems. An optional Keston room controller can be connected which will provide enhanced controls such as room compensation to further increase efficiency and comfort levels. However, this is only recommended for heating only applications. Once the controls are set the boiler operates automatically. Further, a Keston outside sensor can be connected to the boiler which will automatically invoke weather compensated heating which further boosts user comfort and boiler efficiency.

In the event of the boiler overheating the safety devices will cause a safety shutdown. A safety discharge valve and discharge pipe is fitted to the boiler.

The Qudos 28s features an integral frost protection function which will operate the pump, regardless of the external controls, should the boiler temperature fall below 10oC. In the event the boiler temperature falls below 5oC the boiler will also fire. This is to avoid damage to the boiler through freezing of boiler water. The boiler will turn off when the flow temperature exceeds 15oC.

The Qudos 28s features an integral pump exercise function which will run the pump, without

When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty polythene bags, and clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to accept such waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or drinking.

Benchmark Initiative

As part of the industry wide “Benchmark” initiative Qudos 28S boiler manual includes Gas Boiler Commissioning Checklist (Chapter 10). This form should be completed by your installer at the end of the installation and commissioning process. The details of the Checklist will be required in the event of any warranty work being required. There is also Service Interval Record (Chapter 10) to be completed after each annual service visit.

These forms (Chapter 10) should be kept in a safe place for the life of the boiler.

The boiler should be installed and serviced only by GAS SAFE REGISTER registered operatives. All GAS SAFE REGISTER registered Installers carry a GAS SAFE REGISTER ID card and have a registration number. Both should be recorded in your boiler manual (Chapter 10: GAS BOILER COMMISSIONING CHECKLIST). You can check your installer by calling GAS SAFE REGISTER direct on 0800 408 5500.

IN THE EVENT OF A GAS LEAK

Turn off the gas isolation valve to the property immediately. Extinguish all naked flames or other sources of ignition. Do not operate electrical switches on or off. Open all doors and windows to ventilate the area.

Compartment installation is permitted - such compartments must be constructed in accordance with BS 6798.

The wall on which the boiler is mounted must be of suitable load bearing capacity and must be non-combustible.

The Keston Qudos 28s can be located virtually anywhere desired provided that all regulations are complied with. Because of the boiler's compact size and venting flexibility, the installation is not limited to a boiler room setting. Before locating the boiler near a living space consider whether the sounds generated by the boiler will be objectionable. The boiler may be located within a cupboard enclosure to reduce noise levels if located within

a living space. LPG boilers must not be installed in a cellar.

3.4ELECTRICAL

3.4.1Electrical Connections

The boiler must be connected to a permanent 230V ~ 50Hz supply, fused at 3A.

The boiler can be wired to a single switched live 230VAC signal input. However, the boiler has TWO thermostats, and will therefore accept up to TWO switched live 230VAC signal inputs, such as heating and hot water or radiators and underfloor heating zones. Alternatively, a Keston Room Controller can be connected directly, via two core low voltage cable, to the terminals marked “OT”. The Keston Room Controller will then provide fully room compensated control to ensure the boiler output is matched to the rooms requirements at optimum boiler efficiency. This is only recommended for heating only applications. The boiler can also be driven by an external 0-10VDC input.

Wiring external to the boiler must be in accordance with current I.E.E wiring regulations and local regulations.

The method of connection to the mains electricity supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation of the boiler, preferably by the use of a fused, unswitched three pin plug and a shuttered socket-outlet, both complying with the requirements of

Installation & Servicing Instructions

Page : 12

WD420/3/2007	Chapter 3 : Boiler Location		The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers

BS 1363. There must be only one common method of isolation for the boiler and its control system.

The appliance must be connected to the 3A supply via a fused double-pole switch having at least 3 mm (1/8 inch) contact separation in both poles, serving only the boiler and the system controls.

The connection point to the mains supply should be readily accessible and adjacent to the boiler, except for rooms containing a bath or a shower. Refer to section 3.3 Position.

3.4.2External Wiring & Controls

1.The boiler is designed so that all control wiring is external to the boiler.

2.Heating control signal inputs must be 230VAC "switched live" type unless using a Keston Room Controller (see below) or 0-10VDC input.

3.4.2.1 Enhanced Control Options

The Qudos 28s can be wired into a conventional heating installation using only permanent and switched live connections.

However, the Qudos 28s features a wide range of OPTIONAL control features normally associated with commercial boilers installations at additional cost. These are provided as standard in the Qudos 28s and require low costs sensors to be added to activate them. The features provided are detailed below. Refer to Chapter 4.8 for further wiring detail.

Room Compensation (Opentherm)

A Keston Room Controller may be used to provide room compensated control to ensure the boiler output is matched to the rooms requirements at optimum boiler efficiency. This is only recommended for heating only applications

Weather Compensation (Ext Sensor)

A Keston outside temperature sensor may be connected as an option. The boiler will automatically detect this connection and will operate on a "weather compensation" basis when receiving a heating demand signal from the SL terminal or from a Keston Room Controller. Screened cable (80% density) must be used to connect the outside temperature sensor.

Solar Control

Where a solar thermal system is in use, with a twin coil cylinder such as the Keston qSpa Twin, the Qudos 28s will control operation of the solar pump in conjunction with the boiler. The boiler requires connection to the solar tank sensor, solar panel sensor and solar pump

Modulating DHW Reheat

The Qudos 28s can provide direct modulation to maximise the re-heat performance of the DHW cylinder. A DHW cylinder sensor can be connected directly to the Qudos 28. A DHW demand input can also be provided to control DHW reheat activity, perhaps in conjunction with Solar Thermal. With this facility connected an automatic anti-legionnella facility can also be provided.

Analog Demand (0-10VDC)

Where external control panels are used, in boiler room applications, a 0-10VDC input can be connected to the boiler, in place of the SL1 switched live demand. The 0-10VDC signal will drive the first setpoint at 1VDC = 10C setpoint (NB: <0.5VDC is off, >8.0 VDC is 80C)

External Lockout Signal

Where remote monitoring and/or alarms are installed the boiler offers a volt-free lockout signal output. The boiler will provide a closed circuit across the two output points when the boiler is in lockout.

WD420/3/2007	Chapter 3 : Boiler Location		The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers

3.5BOILER SIZE SELECTION

The Qudos 28s will automatically adjust heat output and pump speed to match the system requirements at any given time. Efficiency and combustion levels are maintained at optimum levels throughout the possible output range. The Qudos 28s is therefore suitable for all systems with a total heat load within the maximum range of the boiler.

3.6GAS SUPPLY

A gas meter should be connected to the service pipe by the local gas region or their contractor. An existing meter should be checked preferably by the gas region to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply required. Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS 6891.

Minimum/Maximum Gas Pressure:

Natural gas pressure before the gas valve must be maintained at between 18 mbar (7.2 in WG) and 22 mbar (8.8 in) while the boiler is running.

LPG pressure must be maintained between 31.5 mbar (12.4 in w.g) and 37.6 mbar (14.8 in w.g) while the boiler is running.

Gas pressures above or below these levels will lead to problems associated with the gas valve's internal pressure regulator.

Supply pipes to the boiler must not be sized less than the boiler inlet connection (15 mm). Due consideration must be given to the supply pressure to other gas appliances in the premises. Reduction in dynamic gas supply pressure will result in intermittent ignition failures. Ensure gas supply pipe work is adequately sized for the length of run from the meter to the boiler at a supply rate of 28.4kW (i.e. a natural gas supply should be considered to be a minimum of 22mm diameter, reducing to 15mm at the boiler. If gas runs greater than 12m, including the allowance for bends, are involved the pipe size should be increased further).

3.7WATER SYSTEMS

All piping must be installed in accordance with all applicable local and Water Supply Bylaws for forced hot water heating systems.

Consideration must be given to pipe capabilities and pressure drop through the piping when selecting pipe sizes. The primary pipe connections to the boiler must be sized according to the system load, not dictated by the boiler connection sizes.

Water treatment must be carried out to BS 7593 : Treatment of Water in Hot Water Central Heating Systems.

In IE the requirements given in the current edition of IS813 and the current Building Regulations must be followed.

a The Keston Qudos 28s is designed for installation on sealed water systems only. With fully pumped water circulation. The pump, an 8l expansion vessel and associated safety devices are fitted within the boiler.

b Any system must be thoroughly flushed clean of grease, dirt and debris, prior to connection with the boiler. A trap may be installed in the flow line to collect any solder, or other debris, from the installation.

c All water systems must be constructed to comply with requirements of the Local Water Authority.

d Always use a system complying with the requirements of BS 5449 and BS 6798. e System design must ensure an open circuit is always available to ensure

circulation when the pump overrun function is operating after boiler shutdown.

f Isolation valves must be fitted on the flow and the return to enable isolation when maintaining the boiler.
