The Thermomatic RSM 20/FB is a wall mounted
water jacketed vertical tube Combination Boiler fitted
with a copper coil to give an immediate supply of hot
water.
The appliance is room sealed and fitted with a coaxial
duct for fan powered ventilation, designed for exit to
either side or to the rear of the appliance.
The copper coil containing 2 litres of hot water is
indirectly heated, giving an immediate and continuous
hot water supply.
The central heating pump will not operate until
the boiler temperature reaches 60°C. The pump is
controlled by a capillary thermostat called the anticondensing thermostat. In addition, a bimetallic
priority thermostat will stop the pump as soon as
domestic hot water is drawn. This allows the full heat
output to be directed to supplying hot water only.
The appliance jacket extends to burner level, so the
walls of the combustion chamber are water-cooled.
This prevents the intense local heating usually
associated with combination boilers and considerably
prolongs the appliance life.
The domestic hot water, being indirectly healed
through a coil of a larger diameter than normally
used, is not so easily affected by calcium impurities
that build up lime scale. This together with the flexing
of the coil due to temperature changes, means
calcium "build-up" is considerably lessened.
With the Summer/Winter switch set to Winter the
appliance will automatically adjust to the central
heating output, which may be a single radiator, ot
any number within the heat ouput of the appliance.
The Thermomalic does not require a 'by-pass' and all
radiators can be fitted with thermostatic radiator
valves.
Unlike many other combination boilers, the Thermomalic will operate on low water pressures. The
boiler within the casing is cylinder shaped and fitted
with vertical copper flue tubes through which the gas
products pass. These tubes are fitted wiih stainless
steel baffles to increase efficiency and to rapidly
conduct the heat from the gas products to the water
contained within the cylindrical heat exchanger.
An extended copper coil fitted around the vertical
flue tubes is within the water content. The water
content connects to the central healing system and
indirectly heats the domestic water passing through
the coil.
A SIT Controls multifunctional control with electric
ignition is used and temperatures of both central
heating and hot water ate controlled by capillary
thermostats.
The flue extract fan incorporates a pressure control
switch which activates the gas control. In the case of
a fan failure of any kind the gas control fails to safely.
It is recommended that a scale inhibitor should
be fitted in hard water areas.

Red Light Central Heating Switch Temp. Press. Guage
Boiler Control Green Light Fuse On/Off Switch Overheat Switch
2.1 ON-OFF MAIN SWITCH
Allows the appliance to be manually switched on and
off.
2.2 CENTRAL HEATING SWITCH (SUMMERWINTER)
Allows the central heating and domestic hot water
supply to be switched on. or domestic hot water only
to be switched on.
2.3 BOILER CONTROL THERMOSTAT
Controls the temperature of the water fed to the
central healing system. The temperature can be manually adjusted between approximately 50" - 90*C ±
2°C.
2.4 OVERHEAT SWITCH
A boiler overheat switch will operate if the boiler
thermostat exceeds 90*C ± 3%. After determining the
season (of the boiler overheat thermostat operating,
the thermostat can be manually re-set. Note: thermostat control cannot be re-set until boiler temperature
falls below 80"C.
2.5 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE
A combined boiler pressure and temperature gauge
indicates the pressure and temperature of the water in
the boiler. As a guide the pressure of water in the
boiler, with a pressurised system, can be set at 1 bar
when the water is cold.
2.6 BIMETALLIC PRIORITY THERMOSTAT
A bimetallic priority thermostat is fitted al the connection of the domestic cold water inlet to the boiler.
When a hot lap is opened, the bimetallic priority
thermostat is operated by the flow of cold water into
the boiler.
If the central heating switch (summer/winter switch)
is in the Winter position (i.e. central heating ON) the
bimetallic priority thermostat turns off the central
healing circulating pump.
When the domestic hoi water demand is satisfied the
bimetallic priority thermostat allows the pump to
restart.
When only a small domestic hot water flow is drawn
the bimetallic priority thermostat does not intervene.
2.7 ANTICONDENSING THERMOSTAT
This thermostat prevents the central heating emulating pump from operating until the boiler water
temperature reaches 60"C
