SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Ravenheat CSI System boiler is for the
use of central heating wich incorporates a
circulation pump, expansion vessel, safety
valve, pressure gauge and electronic
ignition.
The boiler is equipped with a front cover
which can be removed for servicing. The
data badge with technical data is placed
on
the lower right hand side of the frame.
1.2 Fig.1.

in section 2.
SECTION 2
2.1 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL SYSTEM
AND SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
2.2 Domestic hot water mode.
When the appliance is in rest mode with
the mains neon switch on.
2.2.1 The boiler will function in the following
sequence:
the pump starts,
the control board sensors,
the fan operates via the pressure switch and
sends a signal back to the ignition board that
the fan is running at maximum speed.
2.2.2 The spark ignition system is powered which in
turn commences the spark igniter to operate
and light the burner.
At this point the ignition board opens the gas
valve to light the burner.
2.2.3 When the electrode/sensor senses the
signal of the burner, the spark igniter stops.
2.2.4 From the minimum gas rate setting the
boiler increases to the maximum permissible
pressure over a period of 3 to 4 seconds
and will remain at its maximum required
power until it reaches maximum regulated
temperature.
2.2.5 When the domestic hot water tap is closed
the diverter valve goes back into rest mode,
the main burner is shut down along with the
pump and fan which are also switched off.
The pressure switch returns to its rest
mode.
2.2.6 Central heating mode
2.2.7 If the switch is positioned on
with a demand for heat to supply radiators,
with the heating circuit fully pressurized so
as to operate the low water sensor device
the boiler will start in the same way in
domestic hot water mode but with slightly
differing time delay.
6
In that it will start on minimum and remain
at this level for about 1 minute. After which
the fl ame will lift to its maximum setting as
governed by a potentiometer which range
rates the heating circuit between maximum
and minimum power. As the heating sensor
reaches temperature the gas burner
power modulates down, the fan speed
will also reduce to minimum fan speed.
When starting, the fan will always start at
maximum speed.
2.2.8 The boiler is fi tted with an anti-cycling device
on the control board. This delays the boiler
from re-fi ring over a 2/5 minute period when
in heating mode. The domestic hot water will
always take priority and is unaffected by the
anti-cycling device.
2.3 SAFETY DEVICE
In both central heating and domestic hot
water mode safe operating is ensured by:
2.3.1 A differential pressure switch which shuts off
the main burner if the fan stops or the fl ue or
combustion air intake duct is obstructed.
An overheat cut off thermostat set slightly
higher than the high limit thermostat acts
to turn of the burner to resetable “lockout”
(Fig. 36) item 3.
2.3.2 A safety valve is fi tted on the central heating
circuit set at 43 psi (3 bar).
2.3.3 A heating circuit (low water) pressure switch
is set at 0.4 bar.

G3 and L of the Building regulations and water
Bylaws Scheme - Approved Products.
4.5 GAS SUPPLY
4.5.1 A gas meter is connected to the service pipe
by the Local Gas Region or the Local Gas
Region 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 for all appliances
it serves. Installation pipes should be fitted in
accordance with BS 6891. Pipework from the
meter to the boiler must be of adequate size
(22 mm) min To within at least 3 metre of
the boiler (15 mm) min can then be used for
remaining pipe work to the appliance. A smaller
size than the boiler inlet gas connection should
not be used. The complete installation must be
tested for soundness as described in the above
Code.
N.B. if the gas supply for the boiler serves
other appliances ensure an adequate
supply is available both to the boiler and the
other appliances when they are in use at the
same time.
4.6 FLUE SYSTEM
4.6.1 The terminal should be located where dispersal
of combustion products is not impeded and with
due regard for the damage or discolouration
that might occur to building products in the
vicinity (see fig. 5).
The terminal must not be located in a place
where it is likely to cause a nuisance. In cold
and/or humid weather water vapour may
condense on leaving the flue terminal, the
effect of such steaming must be considered
The terminal must not be closer than 25 mm
(1 in) to any combustible material For protection
of combustibles, refer to BS 5440.1.
Where a flue terminal is installed less than
1000 mm. from a plastic, or painted gutter;
or 500 mm from painted eaves, an aluminium
shield 1000 mm long, should be fitted to the
underside of the gutter or painted surface.
Pluming will occur at the terminal so, where
possible, terminal positions which could cause
a nuisance should be avoided.
The flue must be installed in accordance with
the recommendations of BS 5440: Part 1.
IMPORTANT NOTES
For greater fl ue lengths see twin fl ue
instructions.
Flue must be positioned in a place not
likely to cause a nuisance.
IMPORTANT: The following notes are intended for
general guidance.
The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal
is exposed to external air.
It is important that the position of the terminal
allows the free passage of air across it at all
tirnes.
Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to
obstructions and ventilation opening are specifi ed
in Fig. 5.
Note positions: Due to the terminal design,
installation is possible with clearances less than
those specifi ed in BS 5440, Part 1.

4 metres.
For further details see vertical flue installation
instructions.
4.7 AIR SUPPLY
4.7.1 The following notes are intended for general
guidance.
The room sealed fan flued boiler does not
require a permanent air vent for combustion
air supply.
When installed in a cupboard or compartment
ventilation is not required.
4.8 WATER CIRCULATION (central heating)
4.8.1 Detailed recommendations are given in
BS 6798:1987/5449:1990 (for smallbore
and microbore central heating systems).
The following notes are given for general
guidance.
4.8.2 Pipework
Copper tubing to BS 2871 1.1.1971 is
recommended for water pipes. Jointing should
be either with capillary soldered or with
compression fittings.
Where possible pipes should have a gradient
to ensure air is carried naturally to air release
points and water flows naturally to drain taps.
It should be ensured as far as possible that
the appliance heat exchanger is not a natural
collecting point for air except where providing
useful heat, pipes should be insulated to
prevent heat loss and to avoid freezing.
Particular attention should be paid to pipes
passing through ventilated spaces in roofs and
under floors.
4.8.3 An automatic system by-pass is included
within the boiler. The boiler is suitable for use
in system with thermostatic radiator valves
and additional by-pass is required.

4.8.5 Draining tap
These must be located in accessible positions
to permit the draining of the whole system.
The taps must be at least 15 mm nominal size
and manufactured in accordance with BS 2870
1980.
4.8.6 Air release points
These must be fitted at all high points where
air will naturally collect, and must be sited to
facilitate complete filling of the system.
4.8.7 The appliance has an integral sealed expansion
vessel to accommodate the increase of water
volume when the system is heated.
It can accept up to 6 Its of expansion water.
If the appliance is connected to a system with
an unusually high water content, calculate
the total expansion and add additional sealed
expansion capacity as appropriate (Fig. 7).
In general, modern systems will present no
problem.
4.8.8 Mains water feed: central heating
There must be no direct connection to the
mains water supply, even through a non return
valve, without the approval of the Local Water
Authority.

PERMISSIBLE METHOD OF FILLING
Fig. 8 depicts the requirements of diagram
R24.2a of Water Supply (Water Fittings)
regulations 1999.
14
B) Where fitting of a make up vessel would
be difficult, RE-PRESSURING of the system
can be done. See section on FILLING. If the
capacity of the central heating system should
exceed 110 Litres, an additional vessel should
be installed on the return to the combination
boiler from the heating system (Fig. 7).
Guidance on vessel sizing is given in (Table
3).
Reference should be made to British Gas
Publications, «Material and Installation
Specifications for Domestic Central Heating
and Hot Water». Draining taps should be
at least 1/2” in BSP nominal size and be in
accordance with BS 2879.
4.8.8 Installation to an existing central heating
system.
The combination boiler is designed to operate
on a sealed system only. Therefore if the
existing system is of the open water type it will
have to be modified to comply with BS 5376
Part 2.
Before installing a new combination boiler to
an existing system, flush out the old system
with a recommended descaling agent.
It is important that the correct concentration
of the water treatment product is maintained
in accordance with the manufacturers’
instructions.
If the boiler is installed in an existing system
any unsuitable additives MUST be removed by
thorough cleansing.
BS 7593:1992 details the steps necessary
to clean domestic central heating system.
Also check pipework and renew any corroded
pipework or fittings. Valve glands must be
repacked or replaced wherever necessary and
any defective controls exchanged.
4.8.9 WATER TREATMENT
