1. USER INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
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.
1.2 MAINTENANCE 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.
1.3 BOILER 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, ie heating or hot water. Identify the 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 tempreatures 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.
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 the
“radiator”, or “z
zz
z” 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.
The cabinet has overheated - consult your Service Engineer before operating the boiler further - SERVICE RESET REQUIRED
E70
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.
E62
The flue temperature is too high. Consult your Service Engineer - SERVICE RESET REQUIRED
E52
The boiler temperature is rising too fast - ask your Service Engineer to check for system blockage or pump failure.
E25
The system water pressure is too low. Check the system has water in and, for sealed 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)
E26 or E67
Flow overheat - the boiler has exceeded it maximum water temperature. Check that any by-pass is open and the controls are operating correctly
E12
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
E04
Ignition lockout - the boiler has attempted to light five times and not succeeded - check the gas supply is on.
E02
Description of faultDisplay
The above is an abbreviated list of possible error codes. If the code is not in the list above consult a CORGI 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 CORGI 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 CORGI registered engineer immediately. If the part becomes broken the boiler should be turned off and a CORGI registered engineer contacted to make a repair.
Any indication of leakage from the boiler cabinet should be investigates by a CORGI 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
2.1 DESCRIPTION
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 boilers also feature an optional remove fascia panel so the boiler can be controlled from within the house where the boiler is located outside the house or in the loft.
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.

Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 4
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.
2.2 BOILER 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
WD420/3/2007 Chapter 2 : General Instruction The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers
Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 5
ENTER RESET
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
WD420/3/2007 Chapter 2 : General Instruction The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers
Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 6
firing the boiler, for 10 seconds in the event the boiler is on standby for in excess of 24 hours without firing. This is to help prevent seizing of the pump due to long periods of inactivity.

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 CORGI registered operatives. All CORGI regis­tered Installers carry a CORGI 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 CORGI direct on 01256 372300.

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.
3. BOILER LOCATION
3.1 DIMENSIONS AND MINIMUM CLEARANCES
The boiler must be installed in minimum clearances shown to allow subsequent servicing, and safe operation. However, larger clearances may be required during installation.
3.2 SERVICE CONNECTIONS
Gas, water, air and flue pipe, condensation, and electrical connections are as shown in the diagram below. Gas : 15mm compression. Flow/Return 0.75 inch BSP male, Gas 0.5 inch BSP male, PRV 15mm copper pipe and Condensate 21.3mm plastic pipe .
An optional stand-off frame (part number Q.28S.0.01.00.0) is also available which mounts behind the boiler to leave a 50mm deep space behind the boiler. This is to permit pipe routing behind the boiler if required. See Section 2.5 - Optional Accessories.
3.3 POSITION
The Qudos 28s and Qudos 28sP are not suitable for external installation. The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the current IEE Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland, the electrical provisions of the Building Regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the boiler in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower. Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower, any electrical switch or appliance control, utilising mains electricity, should be so situated that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower. The Qudos 28S and Qudos 28SP are classified as IP20 (IPX0) and are therefore suitable for installation in Zone 3 areas, unless subject to hose down.

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.
3.4 ELECTRICAL
3.4.1 Electrical 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
WD420/3/2007 Chapter 3 - Boiler Location The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers
Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 12
Chimneys not used for
venting any other
appliance may be used.
Figure 3.3
Secure air & flue pipes at chimney outlet.
[NB: Refer to Section 3.8.3]
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.
3.4.2 External 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 Kesotn SpaTwin, 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
Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 13
Remote Fascia Panel For installations where the boiler is located outside of the living area, such as the loft or an out-house, a remote fascia control can be fitted within the living area. This will allow full functionality normally access via the boiler fascia panel.
3.5 BOILER 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.
3.6 GAS 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).
3.7 WATER 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.

Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 14
g Copper tubing to BS 2871 Part 1 or barrier plastic pipe suitable to 110 oC, such as
Unipipe, is recommended.
h Jointing should be either with capillary, threaded or compression fittings. Pipes
should have a gradient to ensure air is passed easily to vent points and water flows readily to drain points.
i Draining taps must be located in accessible positions which permit the draining of
the boiler. Draining taps should be at least 22 mm in nominal size and be in accordance with BS 2879. AIR VENT POINTS
j These must be fitted at all high points where air will naturally collect and must be
sited to allow complete draining of the system. Table 3.7 Additional Expansion Vessel Selection

Additional
m The installation must be designed to work with flow temperatures of up to 110 oC.
All components of the system must be suitable for a working pressure of 3 bar
and a temperature of 110 oC. Care should be taken in making all connections that
the risk of leakage is minimised. n The pipe from the safety discharge valve must not discharge above an entrance,
window or any type of public access area. The boiler safety discharge valve pipe
must be extended using not less than 15mm pipe to discharge, in a visible
position, outside the building, facing downwards, preferably over a drain. The
pipe must have a continuous fall and be routed to a position so that any discharge
of water, possibly boiling, or steam cannot create any danger to persons, damage
to property or external electrical components or wiring. To ease future servicing it
is advisable to use a compression type fitting to extend the safety discharge valve
pipe.
3.7.1 Boiler By-pass Piping
Boiler water flows are critical to the operation of the boiler. If flow cannot be maintained through the system piping to meet the minimums required by the boiler, insufficient water flows through the boiler will cause the boiler to "kettle" or even produce steam which can damage the heat exchanger and will invalidate the heat exchanger warranty. In addition, an open circuit is required after boiler shutdown to permit circulation during the boilers 2 minute pump overrun sequence. It is advisable to incorporate a boiler by-pass in the system, especially if thermostatic radiator valves are used. The flow/return differential should be 10oC to 20oC. To comply
with the Building Regulations Part L1 the bypass must of the automatic type.
3.7.2 Air Elimination
In the initial charge of water to the boiler system and in all subsequent additions of water to the system some air will be dissolved in the water. As the water is heated the air is driven out of the solution and will collect in high spots in the system. These air bubbles
can interfere with pumping and heat transfer and must be eliminated.
Installation of air bleed valves at the high spot(s) in the system will allow for air elimination when filling the system and will allow re-venting in a day or so after all air has been driven out of solution.
3.7.3 System Pump
Selection (if required)
The Qudos 28s features an integral circulating pump which has sufficient excess head to drive most domestic systems. The available head is shown in the graph below. If the system index circuit resistance is in excess of the available head from the integral pump an additional system pump will be required.
The schematic below illustrates a recommended approach to using an additional system pump. The additional system pump should be sized to overcome the index circuit resistance only as the boilers integral pump will overcome boiler resistance.

If an additional pump is required the selected pump must comply with BS 1394. Provision must be made in the system design for control of the additional pump. A connection point is availble within the boiler to signal operation of the additional pump. However, this will need to drive the additional pump via a suitable relay.
3.7.4 Hot Water System (if applicable)
The hot water storage vessel must be of the indirect type (certain direct cylinders can be used provided they are suitably adapted by fitting an immersion calorifier). DIRECT CYLINDERS MUST NOT BE USED. Further guidance is provided in BS 1394. It is advisable to fit a locksheild valve on the cylinder return to enable balancing of the flow rate through the cylinder.
The Keston Spa range of stainless steel unvented cylinders are an ideal option for use with the Keston range. The Keston Spa range combine exceptional recovery times with durable, long life stainless steel construction and all associated controls. Contact Keston Boilers Ltd for information
The Qudos 28s also has advance control options built in which enable modulated reheat of DHW and anti-legionella function. Refer to Chapter 4 for more detail.
3.7.5 Filling The System
The system should be filled using a G24 approved filling loop. The system pressure should be set to between 1.0 and 2.0 bar. To display the system water pressure press the “” button repeatedly until the water pressure is displayed (indicated by the word “bar” to the right of the pressure reading). Fill the system and monitor the pressure dispalyed. When the pressure is set, press the “RESET” button until the normal display is resumed.
3.8 FLUE SYSTEM NB: When installing a replacement boiler a
new flue system must be used. Do not re-use the existing boiler flue installation.
3.8.1 Design
Individual air supply and flue outlet pipes are used. The material used for flue outlet &/or air inlet must be muPVC to BS 5255 and/or BSEN1566-1 and BSEN1329 of an internal diameter of 51 mm. (i.e. nominal 50 mm diameter muPVC solvent weld waste pipe)
Alternatively, where flue or air intake lengths of up to 60m are require, Keston Composite 75mm flue and

air pipe can be used (contact your Keston stockist for details). Keston Composite 75mm pipe MUST be painted where exposed to UV light.
Both 50mm flue outlet terminal and 50mm air inlet terminal are supplied and are illustrated in Figure 3.8.1. Both terminals are identical. If 75mm terminals are required these can be obtained from your Keston Boilers stockist. Request part numbers C.17.2.26.00.0 (terminals) and C.17.2.00.60.0 (50 to 75 adapters).
3.8.2 Maximum Lengths
The maximum lengths of both air inlet pipe and flue outlet pipe, when no bends are used, are as detailed below.
However, each bend used has an equivalent length that must be deducted from the maximum straight length stated above. Knuckle bends must not be used.
A 92.5o sweep elbow is equivalent to 1.0m straight length. A 45o bend is equivalent to
0.5m straight length.
50mm 75mm
Maximum Air Inlet Length : 39.0m 117.0m Maximum Flue Outlet Length: 20.0m 60m Maximum Total Flue and Air Intake Length : 40.0m 120.0m
Example (assuming 50mm muPVC flue and air pipework)
Air inlet uses two one 92.5o sweep elbows. Hence, maximum length permissible (i.e. a+b in figure 3.8.2) = 39.0m - 1.0m - 1.0m = 37.0m
Flue outlet uses one 92.5o sweep elbow. Hence, maximum length permissible (i.e. c+d in figure 3.8.2 = 20.0m - 1.0 m = 19.0m
3.8.3 Slope
‘Horizontal' flue outlet pipework MUST slope at least 2 degrees (32 mm per metre run) downwards towards the boiler. Pipework can be vertical. Only swept elbows can be used.
Air inlet pipework can be truly horizontal or vertical, or sloping in a downward direction towards the boiler but in this case rain, etc., must be prevented from entering the pipe.
There must be no troughs in any of the pipework, whether it be air inlet or flue outlet.
Due the low temperature of the flue gases further condensate will form within the flue system. Drain points, with suitable traps, must therefore be incorporated within the flue system at the base of vertical flue sections in excess of 6m, for 50mm muPVC pipe flue systems. These additional condensate drains must be run to discharge as detailed in section 3.11. Such drain points can be formed using standard muPVC fittings. Refer to the example in Figure 3.8.3.

3.8.4 Terminations Air inlet terminals must be facing horizontally or downwards to prevent entry of rain into the terminal and positioned to ensure only fresh air is drawn into the boiler. The air terminal must be located outside of the building. Flue and air terminals must be positioned so that flue products are not drawn into the air inlet. Site specific wind conditions should be considered to achieve this. Drawing of combustion air directly from a ventilated boiler room invalidates the heat exchanger warranty. The flue outlet terminal is designed to face outwards but can, if desired, be adapted to face in any direction BUT must not be directed in the region of the air inlet. The flue terminal and air inlet terminal can be located on different, but not opposing wall faces. The two terminals are subject to the requirements of BS 5440 Pt 1 for clearances from features of the building although some can be decreased to the values indicated.
The Keston Qudos 28s and Qudos 28sP, as with any condensing boiler, will generate a condensate “plume” from the flue terminal in all weather conditions. Consideration must therefore be given to the effect of this “plume” when selecting a location for the flue terminal. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the selected terminal location does not cause nuisance.

Dimensions (mm)
*The dimensions given in the table above may need to be increased to avoid wall staining and nuisance depending on site conditions. It is advisable for horizontal flue terminals to place a 45o elbow at the end of the flue to direct the condensate plume up and away from the property. If the air intake is within 500mm of the flue outlet the air must not terminate at a level above that of the flue If either the air inlet or flue outlet terminate at a height of less than 2.1m above ground level, the terminal must be protected by a suitable guard. The K4 terminal guard (with plastic coating), manufactured by Tower Flue Components Ltd is suitable for this purpose
3.8.5 Clearances From Wall
Flue outlet and air inlet terminations must be at least 40 mm from the wall face.
3.8.6 Distance Between Flue Outlet & Air Inlet
There is no maximum - the terminations must not be on opposite sides of the dwelling but can be in areas of unequal pressure.. A minimum clearance of at least 200 mm must be left between the terminations.

Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 19
3.8.7 General Installations
All parts of the system must be constructed in accordance with BS 5440 Part 1, except where specifically mentioned in these instructions. All pipe work must be adequately supported. All joints other than approved push-on or plastic compression connectors must be made and sealed with solvent cement suitable for muPVC pipes and conforming to BS 6209: 1982. External wall faces and any internal faces of cavity walls must be made good. Rubber collars are available for flue and air terminals to finish the external wall face around the terminals (Part No C.08.0.00.07.0)
3.9 AIR SUPPLY
The KESTON Qudos 28s and Qudos 28sP are room sealed appliances and therefore do not require purpose provided ventilation to the boiler room for combustion air.
3.10 COMPARTMENT INSTALLATION
Due to the low casing temperatures generated by the boiler, no compartment ventilation is required. However, the cupboard or compartment must not be used for storage.
3.11 CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
Being a condensing boiler, the Qudos 28S and Qudos 28SP are fitted with a condensate trap at the base of the heat exchanger and flue assembly, with facility to connect to a drain point underneath the appliance.
The condensate trap is packed loose with the appliance and MUST be fitted BEFORE firing the appliance.
Use only plastic piping and do not reduce below 15 mm internal diameter within the
dwelling. Condensate should preferably be drained into the sanitary waste system or, alternatively, the rainwater system of the property in most cases. Ensure in all cases that the disposal of the condensate is in accordance with any local regulations in force.
Termination of the pipe must be either at a branch or stack internal to the house, or externally at an open gully. Alternatively, discharge into a purpose made condensate soakaway can be considered. Existing or purpose built drains must use suitable corrosion resistant material as condensate is mildly acidic.
The connection to the condensate drain of the boiler, and the condensate drain pipework itself, should be properly sealed to ensure there is no possibility of leakage into the dwelling.
A minimum slope downwards towards the drain of 1 in 20 is essential. Freezing of the termination and pipework must be prevented. Any drainage pipes outside the property must be at least 32 mm inside diameter.

Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 20
4. INSTALLATION OF THE BOILER
Read Chapter 3 - Boiler Location and decide upon the position of the boiler.
Installation of the boiler is straightforward but consideration must be given to access to allow flue and air pipes to be pushed through walls and ceilings. The order in which the components are installed will depend upon particular site conditions, but in general it will be easiest and most accurate to install the boiler and then build up the flue outlet and air inlet pipes to the terminal - this is the sequence described.
4.1 WALL MOUNTING BRACKET
a Place the bracket on the wall
horizontally with the pre-drilled holes at the bottom and position as dictated by the template supplied within the boiler packaging.
b Drill through the centre hole
of the bracket, plug the hole and fix in position.
c Using a spirit level make
sure the bracket is completely level and mark the position of the other screw holes.
d Remove the bracket and drill
the holes in the positions marked. Plug these holes.
e Screw the bracket to the wall
using screws of an appropriate size for the wall type (No. 12 x 2 inch wood screws normally suffice).
4.2 MOUNTING THE BOILER (after system cleaning and testing) a Lift and locate the boiler onto the stud and the two locating pegs protruding from
the wall bracket. (lift the boiler via the back frame only) b Lower the boiler for hanging on the two pegs. c Fix the boiler on the bracket stud using the nut and the washers supplied. d Make the gas, flow, return, condensate and PRV connections to the system.
Check all joints for tightness
DO NOT FIRE THE BOILER UNTIL THE CONDENSATE TRAP IS SECURED IN
POSITION.
4.3 ASSEMBLY PRACTICE
Remove all plastic debris and burrs when installing air intake piping. Plastic filings caused by cutting muPVC pipe must not be allowed to be drawn into the combustion air blower. Prevent dust entering the air intake when cutting on building sites. Blower failure which is determined to be caused by plastic filings or other debris will not be covered by guarantee.
4.4 INSTALLING FLUE AND AIR PIPES IMPORTANT - When installing the boiler on an existing system a new flue and air intake system MUST also be installed. You must NOT re-use existing flue or air pipework components. NB: When installing the boiler, consider:
Flue Spigot Assembly
The flue spigot (50mm muPVC) is inside the accessory bag.

Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 21
All dimensions in mm.
Figure 4.1 Wall Mounting Fixing Locations
156
Put the flue spigot assembled with the test plug on the cabinet frame and secure it by fastening the two M6 screws. Couple the spigot to the internal flue pipe using the flexible couple and fastening clips. Ensure the clips are properly secured and no leakage can occur. Remember the flue pipe must slope downwards back towards the boiler and this is best achieved using 92.5o bends.
a Using the template supplied within the boiler packaging mark the
positions of the two holes for the flue and air pipes on the wall(s) or
ceiling. b Drill the two holes in the wall/ceiling, preferably using a core drill. c Measure, cut and check the air and flue pipes to pass to the exit from the
wall(s) or ceiling.
Always thoroughly deburr all pipes and, most important, remove shavings from within the pipe.
d Mount the boiler on the wall bracket and fix the air spigot (packed loose
with the boiler and with appropriate gasket) to the boiler air inlet
connection tightly to ensure there is no leakage. Assemble, using
adhesive, the pipework from the boiler connections to the exit from the
first wall/ceiling (remount the boiler if removed). When pushing pipe
through walls, ensure grit and dust is not allowed to enter the pipe.
Ensure pipes are fully engaged into sockets and solvent welded with no
leaks. e Using the same methods drill any further holes (always covering existing
pipework), cut and assemble the pipework. f From outside, complete the two terminations - See Section 3.8 Flue
System and make good all holes. (wall sealing collars are available to
make good hole areas on the wall face (part number C.08.0.00.07.0) g Support any pipes whose route could be displaced either of its own
accord or by accident. Any horizontal run over 1m or vertical runs of any
length must always be supported. Brackets should be placed at intervals
of approximately 1m. h Check all connections for security and re-seal any joints using solvent
cement where soundness may be in doubt.
Note: It is equally important to seal the air inlet with solvent cement as the flue outlet
pipe joints.
4.5 CONDENSATE DRAINAGE NB: When installing the boiler, consider:
Condensate Trap Assembly
The condensate trap is fitted loose inside the cabinet. i) Fit the condensate trap through the hole in the base of the boiler frame. ii) Remove the cap fitted to the condensate drain spigot at the base of the
heat exchanger.
iii) Securely connect the condensate trap inlet to the heat exchanger drain
spigot. Be carefully to the correct position of sealing O-ring.
Iv) Secure the trap to the boiler frame using the fixing bolts supplied. Connect the condensate drainage system to the boiler. It is advisable to use a detachable fitting at connection to the boiler to enable easy removal for servicing. Fill the condensate trap by pouring water into the boiler flue until water is seen to flow freely from the condensate drainage system. Make the final connection of flue pipe to the boiler.
Details are provided in Chapter 3 - Section 3.11 Condensate Drainage Connection : 22 mm plastic pipe.

Initial Firing The gas pressure setting is factory adjusted to within the required range and does not need readjustment. If the reading is incorrect then check such factors as tightness
of the air and flue pipe joints, pressure sensible joints and the gas inlet pressure (minimum 18 mbar required for Natural Gas and 31 mbar required for LP gas). If all joints are sound and the gas inlet pressure is satisfactory set the gas pressure check the gas input. Full details of this procedure are given in Section 5.9 Timing The Gas Meter.
Combustion Testing
It is advisable on all installations that the combustion quality is checked by measuring the carbon dioxide (CO2), or oxygen (O2), level. This procedure is detailed in Section 5.7 Combustion Testing. Badly tuned combustion will lead to reduce the life of the boiler and invalidate the warranty.
WD420/3/2007 Chapter 4 : Installation The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers
Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 26
5. COMMISSIONING OF THE BOILER
Important:
This condensing boiler contains components which could be damaged or blocked by grease, dirt, solder etc., from the water system. The following commissioning procedures must be followed
precisely.
It is essential that combustion is checked at high and low rate , as per Section 5.7, using a calibrated flue gas analyser set for the relevant gas type.
5.1 INITIAL FLUSHING
All waterways within the Keston Qudos 28s and Qudos 28sP are either copper or high alloy stainless steel. As a result water treatment chemicals for central heating boilers such as Fernox MB1, Sentinel X100 or equivalent, are suitable. In any event reference must be made to BS 7593 : Treatment Of Water In Hot Water Central Heating Systems. a. Disconnect the boiler from the system at the flow and return connections and
temporarily link the flow and return pipes on the system.
b. Flush the entire system until clean water is discharged, free from dirt, flux, solder
etc. The use of a flushing chemical is recommended, e.g. Fernox Supafloc, or equivalent.
Sludge and scale must be removed from an existing system. Boiler failure due to system debris or sludge shall invalidate the guarantee.
c. Connect the system to the boiler and fill in accordance with Section 3.7 - Water
Systems. At this stage fill to a pressure of about 2.5 bar.
d. Check the complete system for water soundness. If leaks need to be rectified
using flux and solder, the system must be flushed cold again before proceeding.
e. Reduce the pressure to the Initial System Design Pressure. Vent the system
5.2 GAS SUPPLY
The complete gas installation up to the boiler service cock must be checked for tightness BS 6891.
5.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Carry out preliminary electrical safety checks, i.e. Earth continuity, Polarity, Resistance to Earth, Short Circuit using a suitable test meter.
5.4 LP GAS
The Keston Qudos 28s and Qudos 28sP are supplied preset for the gas designated on the boiler packing. LPG installations must use Q28SP models only.
5.5 INITIAL FIRING
Important Checking the gas pressure to the pre-mix burner requires a special procedure, outlined below, which must be carried out.
a. Purge the gas supply in accordance with BS 6891. b. Vent the water system.
Important:
The heat exchanger consists of corrugated tubes which can trap an air pocket. Great care must be taken to ensure that water flow has been established through the heat exchanger and thus ensuring no air pockets remain in the heat exchanger and pipe work. Firing the boiler while an air pocket exists in the heat exchanger could damage it.
c. Turn the gas service cock to ON. d. Turn on the electrical supply, setting any external controls to call for heat. The
radiator symbol should illuminate in the top left of the display along with a “1” to the left of the radiator symbol or a “2” to the right.
e. Select the CH temperature using the “” of the control panel, set the CH
temperature to 80C. Press the “ENTER” button to store this setting and press the
WD420/3/2007 Chapter 5 : Commissioning The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers
Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 27
“RESET” button so that the display reverts to show the actual flow temperature of the boiler.
Once a heating demand is received the fan will start and the boiler will enter the pre-purge phase. During this phase the boiler pump will also start to run. The pump and fan symbols should illuminate on the top line of the indicating they are both running. After 5 seconds the boiler will start to spark, indicated by a flashing flame symbol on the top row of the display, and will energise the gas valve. When ignition is achieved the flame symbol on the top row will stop flashing and remain
steady. If an air lock or other blockage is present the unit may go to overheat or water pressure lockout. This will be indicated by the display flashing error code “E12” or “E67”. If this occurs clear the blockage and/or purge the air from the system, and press the “Reset” button to restart the ignition sequence. If ignition does not occur, the boiler, at approximately 20 second intervals, will make four further attempts to light the burner. If after five automatic attempts the boiler still fails to ignite, the display will show the code “E 02” indicating no ignition. If, after five manual attempts (to allow for purging of any air in the gas line), the
boiler still fails to ignite refer to Section 6.3 - Fault Modes.
f. Check for gas tightness between the gas service cock and connection to
the burner manifold.
g. Check for soundness of the connection between the heat exchanger base
and the condensate trap.
5.6 HOT FLUSHING
a. Allow the system to heat up, checking for water soundness. b. Follow instructions provided with the cleaning agent, i.e. Fernox Supafloc, or
equivalent. Turn off the boiler and flush the water system while still hot. Thoroughly flush the system with clear water.
c. Refill the system using a quality water treatment such as Fernox MB1 or Sentinel
X100. For sealed systems, fill to the required Initial Design Pressure.
5.7 COMBUSTION TESTING - MANDATORY CHECK
Although the gas pressure is preset at the factory it is required to assure proper combustion by measuring gas input and the level of carbon dioxide, or oxygen and carbon monoxide, in the flue outlet from the boiler. Over firing or under firing the burner will reduce the longevity of the appliance and may result in excessive carbon monoxide levels Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are colourless, odourless gases produced by all combustion processes. When the Keston condensing boiler is operating properly, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels will be between 8.4 & 8.8% (low rate) and 8.9 & 9.3% (high rate) and carbon oxide (CO) levels will be between 5 to 20 ppm (low rate) and 50 to 150 ppm (high rate) for natural gas. For LP gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels will be between 9.5 & 9.9% (low rate) and 10.3 & 10.7% (high rate) and the carbon monoxide will be between 5 & 20 ppm (low rate) and 50 & 150 ppm. In any event, the CO2 level at low rate must ALWAYS be less than CO2 levels at high rate. To measure CO2 levels in the Keston boiler remove the 1/8" plug from the flue outlet pipe spigot (Figure 6.7.4 item 17). Insert the probe of a calibrated combustion analysis meter and sample the gases as instructed in the test equipment's instructions. When firing the boiler for the first time since installation, the CO level at high rate may be between 100-220 ppm and between 50-80 ppm at low rate. This is due to compounds used during manufacture curing within the combustion chamber. On boilers which have been fired for more than one hour since installation, the CO levels should not exceed 150 ppm at high rate and 50 ppm at low rate. If CO levels above these values are experienced, the combustion chamber and flue system should be investigated. The Qudos 28s is factory set for combustion and should need no adjustment. However, in the event adjustment is required. Check combustion errors are not a result of incorrectly installed flue and/or air system, terminal location or damage or debris on the burner. If all these factors are found to be in order precede as follows:
WD420/3/2007 Chapter 5 : Commissioning The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers
Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 28
1) Set any controls to call for
heat.
2) Press the ” button repeatedly until the display shows “SEr”, then press “ENTER”. Press the “” until the display shows “100%”. Press “ENTER” and the boiler will be locked on at Maximum rate. If no further buttons are pressed for 10 minutes the boiler will automatically revert to normal operation.
3) Measure the CO2 reading in the flue gases and adjust, if necessary, the adjustment screw (pos 4) to produce a CO2 reading of 8.9% to 9.3% with a corresponding CO level of 50 to 150 ppm for natural gas and 10.3 to 10.7% with a corresponding CO level of 50 to 150 ppm for LPG. NORMAL ADJUSTMENT, IF REQUIRED, SHOULD NEED NO MORE THAN HALF OF ONE ROTATION OF THE ADJUSTMENT SCREW (pos. 4).
4) Press the “RESET” button once and then press the “ENTER” button. Use the “” button until the display shows “32%” (“30%” for LPG). Press the “ENTER” button and the boiler will be locked on at Minimum rate. If no further buttons are pressed for 10 minutes the boiler will automatically revert to normal operation.
5) Measure the CO2 reading in the flue gases. The CO2 reading must be 8.4% to
8.8% with a corresponding CO level of 5 to 20 ppm for natural gas and 9.5% to
9.9% with a corresponding CO level of 5 to 20 ppm for LPG. THE CO2 LEVEL AT LOW RATE MUST ALWAYS BE LESS THAN THE CO2 LEVEL AT HIGH RATE..
6) Press the “RESET” button once and then use the “” button until the display shows “100%”. Press the “ENTER” button and the boiler will be locked on at Maximum rate. Check the setting is within the range established in step 3. If not,
r e p e a t the process again from step 3.
If following the above procedure, combustion levels described above at both high and low rate could not be obtained, please turn off the appliance and isolate the gas to the appliance. Telephone KESTON BOILERS
technical support (phone no. 0208 462 0262)
8) Press the “RESET” button twice to return to the normal operation mode and display.
5.8 CHECKING THE GAS PRESSURE
With the boiler running measure the burner pressure at the burner pressure test nipple. (pos. 4).
NB: It is advisable to carry out this test with the thermostat set to maximum and the system
water cold to ensure the boiler is running at maximum rate.
The gas setting is factory adjusted to within the required range and should not need adjustment. If the reading is incorrect then check such factors as tightness of the air and flue pipe joints and the gas inlet pressure (pos. 3) (minimum 18 mbar required for natural gas, minimum 31 mbar required for LP gas).
If all joints are sound and the gas inlet pressure is satisfactory check the gas input by timing the gas meter as detail in Section 5.9 Timing The Gas Meter. If the gas
input cannot be measured then it’s compulsory to measure the combustion quality as detail in Section 5.7 Combustion Testing.
WD420/3/2007 Chapter 5 : Commissioning The Keston Qudos 28s & Qudos 28sP Boilers
Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 29
5.9 TIMING THE GAS METER
After the boiler has been started, and with no other appliances using gas, time the gas meter to be certain that the unit is running at the proper gas input. Determine the cubic feet of gas passing through the meter and determine the input in Btu per hour. Input must be within plus or minus 5% of the rated input.
Time, in seconds, the time taken to pass 2 cubic feet of gas through the meter (i.e. one
revolution of a 2 cu ft dial) or 0.1 cubic metres if the meter is of the new metric digital type.
Model Time for 2 cu ft Time for 0.1 cu m Qudos 28s (natural gas) 71 to 78 seconds 125 to 138 seconds Qudos 28sP Combi (LPG) 152 to 168 seconds 272 to 300 seconds
If the meter timing is found to be incorrect when the boiler is firing at maximum rate
contact Keston Boilers Ltd for further guidance.
5.10 HANDING OVER TO THE USER
It is important to fully explain the following: a. Procedure to light and turn off the boiler, including isolation of the electrical supply
if necessary.
b. The function of the lockout feature must be explained :
If the display shows “E 02” this means that the boiler has failed to light. Press the “Reset” button and wait i) If lockout recurs immediately then the gas supply should be checked as
ON, otherwise consult a Service Engineer.
ii) If it is not possible to relight, the boiler must be isolated and a Service
Engineer called in to rectify the fault.
c. Advise that a reduction in the water pressure reading on the system pressure
gauge, for sealed systems, indicates a leak which should be rectified before further use.
d. Advise that the appliance must be serviced by a competent person at least once a
year.
Complete all sections of the Chapter 10 Gas Boiler Commissioning Checklist that are relevant to the appliance installation. The details will be required in the event of any warranty work.
e. Advise on the frost protection and pump/fan exercise feature. f. Advise the user that a plume of water vapour (steam) from the flue terminal is
normal and that there is no need for concern.

6. FAULT FINDING
6.1 ELECTRICAL CONTROL SEQUENCE
When the external control(s) are calling for heat, power will be fed to the boiler connection strip at terminal SL1 (Switched Live) and N (Neutral) and the radiator symbol with a “1” will appear in the top left of the display. If the user control setting of the CH temperature is to a temperature above the actual boiler flow temperature and provided all safety sensors are confirmed as OK the control PCB will initiate the following sequence.
(1) The fan and pump will start (indicated by a pump and a fan symbol on the top row
of the display).
(2) When the fan reaches running speed, the control PCB will start the ignition
sequence.
(3) After a pre-purge period of about 5 seconds, the gas valve will open to allow gas
to mix with the air at the suction side of the fan and the ignition spark will occur at the main burner (indicated by a flashing flame symbol on the top row of the display).
(4) When the burner ignites, the flame is detected by the control PCB through the
combined flame sensor/ignitor and the ignition spark is stopped. The flame symbol on the top row the display stops flashing and becomes constantly illuminated. The boiler is now in its normal run condition.
(5) The boiler will automatically and continuously adjust its power output and pump
speed to best match the demands of the system at any time.
(6) The burner will continue to operate until the gas valve interrupts the gas supply.
The gas valve will be closed by the control PCB if power is interrupted to the boiler by any external control or the boiler exceeds the requested temperature. If an interruption to the gas supply causes loss of the flame, the control box will pause for approximately 10 seconds and then attempt to re-ignite the unit. If this attempt fails, i.e. due to continued lack of gas supply, the boiler will make four further attempts to ignite at intervals of approximately 10 seconds and will then go to a lockout state (the display shows “E02”). Once the gas supply has been resumed the boiler can be reset by pressing the “Reset” button.
(7) The boiler can also be shut down by the cabinet temperature sensor, water
pressure sensor or flue overheat sensor.
Any failure of the boiler to sequence in the above manner should be investigated using the following trouble shooting table.
Before attempting any electrical fault finding, always carry out preliminary electrical system checks. On completion of any service/fault finding task which has required the breaking and remaking of electrical connections, the checks, earth continuity, polarity, short circuit, resistance to earth must be repeated.

7. ROUTINE (ANNUAL) SERVICING
To ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the boiler it is necessary to carry out routine servicing at regular intervals. Servicing must be carried out at least once per year. The frequency of the servicing will depend upon the particular operating conditions.
It is the law that any service work must be carried out by competent qualified persons.
NB: When servicing ensure that the gas and electrical supplies to the boiler are isolated before
any work starts.
Hazardous materials are not used in the construction of the Qudos 28s and Qudos 28sP. However, due care should be taken when handling boiler components. All joints should be checked for tightness after servicing and before firing the appliance.
After servicing complete the Gas Boiler Commissioning Checklist - Service Interval Record
(Chapter 10). These forms (Chapter 10) should be kept in a safe place for the life of the boiler.
7.1 Pre-Service Checks
It is recommended that an inspection should be carried out prior to shutting down the unit for servicing. Remove the front cover by removing the screws retaining the top and bottom. The following items should be observed:
a. Smooth starting and running of the blower. b. Smooth lighting of the burner. c. Check for leakage of gas, gas/air or combustion products. d. Check all flexible joints and hoses for condition and soundness - replace if
necessary e. Check for condensate leaks. f. Check for water soundness. g. Inspect the flue vent and air intake pipework. Joints must be sound and all
pipework well bracketed. h. Check that there is a steady fall back to the boiler from the flue pipe to allow
condensate to run back into the boiler. i. With the boiler operating at a low return temperature (i.e. less than 50oC) check
that the condensate flows freely from the condensate line.
7.2 Recommended Routine Service
a. Remove the outer case by first removing the securing screws at the top and
bottom of the appliance. b. Remove the burner head (Section 8.6) and inspect the burner appearance. Black
markings or other discoloration's on the gauze indicate too much gas or a lack of
air possibly due to a blocked air inlet. Any breakage's or damage to the burner
mesh indicate the burner must be replaced. c. If necessary clean the burner with a mild household detergent and rinse under a
hot running tap. d. If necessary, from visual inspection, clean the heat exchanger using a suitable
stiff plastic bristle brush, vacuum out any large particles and flush the heat
exchanger with fresh water until the water flowing from the condensate drain is
clear. e. Remove the condensate trap (Section 8.8) and clean by flushing through with
clean running water. f. Check the electrode assembly mounted on the heat exchanger. If the point is
damaged or burnt replace it.
Check that the spark gap measures 4 mm.

Installation & Servicing Instructions Page : 44
g. Replace the burner head, inspecting the gasket for damage and replacing if
necessary, and reconnect the gas/air supply. Ensure the flanged gas/air supply joint is air tight.
h. Turn on the electrical supply to the boiler and allow the boiler to reach operating
temperature levels.
i. Remove the combustion test point plug from the flue pipe. This is situated on the
flue spigot out of the cabinet.
j. Carry the full procedure detailed in section 5.7 COMBUSTION TESTING -
MANDATORY
k. Replace the combustion test point plug. l. Recheck the burner pressure by following the procedure detailed in Section 4.7.
m. Check all joints for tightness up to the gas burner. n. Complete the Gas Boiler Commissioning Checklist - Service Interval Record
(Chapter 10).

LPG CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR KESTON QUDOS 28s and Qudos 28h MODELS
The Keston Qudos 28s and Qudos 28h condensing boilers are supplied fabricated for Natural Gas combustion at a supply pressure of 20 mbar.
These conversion instructions must be read in conjunction with the Keston Qudos 28s or Qudos 28h
Installation & Servicing Instructions - WD420 and WD440.
To convert to LPG (Commercial Propane) you must carry out the following sequence:
i) Isolate the appliance
(Section 8.1) ii) Gain access (Section 8.2) iii) Replace the NG main PCB
(part number
Q.10S.4.01.00.0) with the
LPG main PCB (part
number Q.10S.4.15.00.0)
according to section 8.4.6 iv) Replace the NG gas
valve/venturi assembly
(part number
Q.10S.3.04.00.0) with the
LPG gas valve/venturi
assembly (part number
Q.10S.3.05.00.0)
according to section 8.4.8 v) Check the gas rate and
combustion –
MANDATORY
Although the gas pressure is preset at the factory it is required to assure proper combustion by measuring gas input and the level of carbon dioxide, or oxygen and carbon monoxide, in the flue outlet from the boiler. Overfiring or underfiring the burner will reduce the longevity of the appliance and may result in excessive carbon monoxide levels
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are colorless, odorless gases produced by all combustion processes. When the Keston condensing boiler is operating properly, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels will be between 9.5 to 9.9% (low rate) and 10.3 to 10.7% (high rate) and the carbon monoxide will be between 5 to 20 ppm (low rate) and 50 to150 ppm.
In any event, the CO2 level at low rate must ALWAYS be less than CO2 levels at high rate.
WD458/1/2008
Page:1
To measure CO2 levels in the Keston boiler remove the 1/8" plug from the flue outlet pipe spigot (Figure 6.7.4 item 17). Insert the probe of a calibrated combustion analysis meter and sample the gases as instructed in the test equipment's instructions.
When firing the boiler for the first time since installation, the CO level at high rate may be between 100 & 220 ppm and between 50 & 80 ppm at low rate. This is due to compounds used during manufacture curing within the combustion chamber. On boilers which have been fired for more than one hour since installation, the CO levels should not exceed 150 ppm at high rate and 50 ppm at low rate. If CO levels above these values are experienced, the combustion chamber and flue system should be investigated.
The Qudos 28s is factory set for combustion and should need no adjustment. However, in the event adjustment is required.
Check combustion errors are not a result of incorrectly installed flue and/or air system, terminal location or damage or debris on the burner. If all these factors are found to be in order precede as follows:
1) Set any controls to call for heat.
2) Press the “” button repeatedly until the display shows “SEr”, then press “ENTER”. Press the “” until the display shows “100%”. Press “ENTER” and the boiler will be locked on at Maximum rate. If no further buttons are pressed for 10 minutes the boiler will automatically revert to normal operation.
3) Measure the CO2 reading in the flue gases and adjust, if necessary, the adjustment screw (pos 4) to produce a CO2 reading of 10.3 - 10.7% with a corresponding CO level of 50 - 150 ppm.
4) Press the “RESET” button once and then press the “ENTER” button. Use the “” button until the display shows “32%” (“30%” for LPG). Press the “ENTER” button and the boiler will be locked on at Minimum rate. If no further buttons are pressed for 10 minutes the boiler will automatically revert to normal operation.
5) Measure the CO2 reading in the flue gases. The CO2 reading must be 8.4% to 8.8% with a corresponding CO level of 5 to 20 ppm for natural gas and 9.5% to 9.9% with a corresponding CO level of 5 to 20 ppm for for LPG. THE CO2 LEVEL AT LOW RATE MUST ALWAYS BE LESS THAN THE CO2 LEVEL AT HIGH RATE.
6) Press the “RESET” button once and then use the “” button until the display shows “100%”. Press the “ENTER” button and the boiler will be locked on at Maximum rate. Check the setting is within the range established in step 3. If not, repeat the process again from step 3.
If following the above procedure, combustion levels described above at both high and
low rate could not be obtained, please turn off the appliance and isolate the gas to the appli­ance. Telephone KESTON BOILERS technical support (phone no. 0208 462 0262)
8) Press the “RESET” button twice to return to the normal operation mode and display.
vi) Note the original appliance serial number band production date on the new data badge vii) Stick the new data badge Q.10S.1.00.04.1 ( for the Qudos 28sP - Fig. 6.7.4 item 8) or
Q.10H.1.00.03.1 (for the Qudos 28hP - Fig. 6.7.4 item 7) into the appliance in place of the original NG database.
