DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL SYSTEM
AND SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Domestic hot water mode
When the appliance is in rest mode with the
mains neon switch on. Switch the summer/winter switch in the position, making sure the heating circuit is charged with
water (above 1 bar). When the domestic hot
water tap is turned on, 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.
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 first
step of the gas valve to light the pilot/burner.
When the electrode/sensor senses the
signal from the pilot/burner, it opens the
second stage of the gas valve via the ignition
board on minimum power. Upon the second
valve opening the spark igniter stops.
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 its maximum regulated
temperature.

2.3.6
On the control panel are mounted two
potentiometers (thermostats) these control
the temperature. One is for domestic hot
water and the other for heating.
The boiler is fitted with an anti-cycling
device on the control board. This delays the
boiler from re-firing 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.
GENERAL FUNCTION
Central Heating Mode
A potentiometer is installed on the electric
circuit board this permits regulation of the
boiler to partial heating requirements,
between the factory setting.
Air is drawn by the fan for combustion.
The fan also forces exhaust gas through the
flue to the outside, this creates a lesser
pressure in the sealed combustion chamber,
thus sucking in combustion air, through the
inlet duct.
The boiler water temperature is automatical-
ly controlled by a built in thermostat. .
Interior space temperature is set by the
room thermostat to be installed in the heating system. The boiler already carries con-
nection terminals for this thermostat, as well
as for a timeclock. The burner will continue
to operate until it is stopped by the timer or
one of the thermostats.
When the internal C.H. temperature sensor
intervene the main burner shuts down. The
fan stops but the pump continues to operate.

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
pilot/burner. The pump and fan are also

When the room thermostats intervene the
main burner shuts down. The fan stops and
the pump turns off.
2.4
2.4.1
2.4.2
2.4.3
Domestic hot water mode2.4.4
The heat exchanger in the D.H.W. circuit is
built into the main heat exchanger, and
domestic water is heated by converting the
water in the central heating circuit. The
transference of heat is very high because
the two fluids move in a counter direction
flow to each other.
Switch 33 in the (winter) position.
When a hot water tap is turned on a
diaphragm diverter valve excludes the central heating circuit the boiler automatically
modulates to maintain the domestic hot
water at a constant temperature.
Water temperature can be regulated using
the D.H.W. thermostat located on the front
control panel.
When domestic hot water is being drawn the
main burner and pump perform as they do
during central heating except that the burner
is commanded by the D.H.W. thermostat.
2.4.5
3.1
When D.H.W. is no longer called for the boiler automatically returns to the central heating mode.
Switch 33 in the (summer) position. The
boiler functions like an automatic gas hot
water heater. When D.H.W. is no longer
required the main burner, fan and pump
immediately turn off.
This also takes place when switch 33 is on
(winter) if there is no demand for
heat to the central heating system or until
the room thermostat/time clock demands for
heat to the central heating circuit.
SAFETY DEVICE
In both central heating and domestic hot
water mode safe operating is ensured by:
- A differential pressure switch which shuts
off the main burner if the fan stops or the flue
or combustion air intake duct is obstructed.

GAS SUPPLY
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe
by the Local Gas Supplier or a 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 con-
nection 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.
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 times.
Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions and ventilation opening are specified in Fig. 6.
Note positions: Due to the terminal design,
installation is possible with clearances less
than those specified in BS 5440, Part 1.

WATER CIRCULATION (central heating)
Detailed recommendations are given in BS
6798 5449.1.1977 (for smallbore and microbore central heating systems). The following
notes are given for general guidance.
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 gradi-
ent 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.
Fig. 6A
4.8.3
The water through the appliance heat
exchanger circuit must exceed the min.
2.38 gals/min. (650 It/h) when the burner is
firing. It is important to ensure that this rate
is achieved when sections of the system
are shut off either manually or by automatic
controls. Therefore a by-pass must be fit-
ted to the system (15 mm min.) (Fig. 6A).
If the volume of circulating water is too low,
the boiler water temperature will rise too
rapidly. This could cause noise in the system
or even cause the safety thermostat to trip.

4.8.4
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.
Air release points
These must be fitted at all high points where
air will naturally collect, and must be sited to
facilitate complete fitting of the system.
ed to the heating system to provide limited
automatic water make up.

4.8.8
The appliance has an integral sealed expan-
sion vessel to accomodate the increase of
water volume when the system is heated. It
can accept up to 1.5 gal (7 Its) of expansion
water. lf the appliance is connected to a system with an unusually high water content,
calculate the total expansion and add additional sealed expansion capacity as appro-
priate (Fig. 7).
In general modern systems will present no
problem.
Fig. 7
Mains water feed: central heating
There must be no direct connection to the
mains water supply, even through a nonreturn valve, without the approval of the
Local Water Authority.
Permissible methods of filling
Cistern method (Fig. 8).
The system may be filled by one of the following methods. Through a cistern used for
no other purpose, via a ballvalve permanently connected directly to a service pipe
and/or cold water distributing pipe. The stat-
ic head available from the cistern should be
adequate to provide the initial system
design pressure.
The cold feed pipe from the cistern should
include a non-return valve, and a stop-valve
with an automatic air vent connected between them, with the stop valve being locat-
ed, between the cistern and the automatic
air vent. The stop valve may remain open
during normal operation of the system, if
automatic water make-up is required.
Booster pump method (Fig. 8).
The system may be filled through a self contained unit comprising of a cistern pressure
booster pump if required and if necessary
an automatic pressure reducing valve or
flow restrictor. The cistern should be supplied through a temporary connection from a
service pipe or cold water distributing pipe.
The unit may remain permanently connect-
A combined double check valve shall be
installed upstream of the draw-off point,
through a temporary hose connection from
a tap supplied from the mains, where the
mains pressure is excessive a pressure
reducing valve shall be used to make filling
easier. The following fittings shall form a permanent part of the system and shall be fitted in the order stated.
a) A stop valve complying with the require-
ments of BS 1010 Part 2 (the temporary
hose from the draw off tap shall be connected to this fitting).
b) A test clock.
c) Double check valve of an accepted type.
d) A non return valve of an accepted type.
We recommend use of a Ravenheat
Filling Loop designed for this method of
filling the system. Available from your
supplier.
PROVISIONS FOR MAKE UP WATER
(Fig. 7)
Provision can be made for replacing water
loss from the system either.
A) from a manually filled made up bottle with
a readily visible water level. The bottle
should be mounted at least 150 mm (6 in)
above the highest point of the system and
be connected through a non return valve to
the return side of the heating system.

Each extension length extends the pipe by
approximately 1000 mm long up to a maximum of three extensions.
Pipeline length can be established using
the instructions in section 5.5 for rear flue
outlets and section 5.7 for side flue outlets.
Extensions must be installed with the
widened end of the air intake pipe and the
tapered end of the flue pipe aimed towards
the exhaust terminal. Extensions must be
joined together, with the standard terminal
pipe, inserted in each other as far as they
can go.
If an extension must be shortened, this must
be done from the straight end, and not from
the tapered end. To measure the pipeline
properly all components must be assembled
and total length measured before cutting.
The straight end of the extension connects
to the boiler. The flue output pipe fits into the
boiler header until it stops (Fig. 31).
All joints must be sealed with a rubber collar,
fastened with the pipe straps supplied.
It is important to put the centering spacer,
supplied with the unit, inside between the
two pipes, from the side opposite the extension’s straight end.

PRESSURE
The design pressure must be a min. 1 bar
and max. 1.5 bar. These figures are read off
the pressure gauge.
- The actual reading should ideally be 1
bar + the height in metres to the highest
point of the system above the base of
the appliance (up to a max of 1.5 bar).
N.B.: The safety valve is set to lift a 3

Close all hot water draw-off taps.
Open the cold water inlet cock.
Slowlv open each draw-off tap until clear
water-is discharged.
Before lighting the main burner make sure
that the heating circuit flow and return
valves are open and also that the cold water
input cock is also open.
- If external controls are installed (e.g.
timeclock and thermostat) make sure
that they call for heat.
- Turn summer/winter selector switch 1 to
winter
- Turn control thermostat 4 up to its
maximum setting.
-Now the main burner should turn on.
With leak detection fluid test for gas
soundness of all gas components and
joints.

releasing the seal screw.
Check the gas mains pressure with
boiler operating.
Check with the Local Gas Supplier if the
pressure differs significantly from 20
mbar.
CHECK THE GAS PRESSURE AT THE
BURNER
Now check if the maximum gas pressure at
the burner is equal to 8.1 0.5 mbar (3.2
0.2 in w.g.) for RSF 82E - RSF 82ET.
To do this proceed as follows:
- Turn off main switch 1 (Fig. 50)
-Set main switch on &
-Set control thermostat 5 at its
maximum setting.
-Fit a pressure gauge, using a hose, to
pressure test point 81, (Fig. 51), after
first loosening its close-off screw.
-Open one or more hot water taps so
that at least 10 11.4 litre of water flows
per minute.
- The pressure indicated on the pressure
gauge is the maximum operating gas

When the boiler operates in the C.H. mode
the gas pressure at the burner can be set
between the min. and max. values.
This permits capacity to be adjusted to suit
system demand. If adjustment is required
proceed as follows:
- Remove the front panel and the panel
instrument as described in clauses
(sect. 5.4.1 and sect 5.4.3). Unscrew the
two screws holding the control box cover
and lift off (Fig. 78).
- Select (winter) switch position
- Turn control thermostat 4 to maximum
setting (Fig. 50).
- Check all external controlsare on and
calling for heat ensure all D.H.W. taps’
are off.
- With boiler operating use a screwdriver
to turn potentiometer (Fig. 48) clockwise
to increase pressure and anti-clockwise
to decrease pressure.
- To obtain the desired heat value
establish pressure as per (Fig. 52).
- Replace the protective cover.
- Once this pressure is established, mark
it up on data badge with adhesive red
label/arrow burner pressure setting so
that this can be referred to and checked
during future servicing.
Observe the pilot flame which will light a

CHECKING THE HEATING THERMOSTAT
Allow the system to warm up and then turn
the C.H. thermostat to ensure the main
burner modulates from “high” to “low” and
“low” to “off” and vice versa (scale range
covers approx. 45
o
C 85oC).
TESTING AND REGULATING THE
DOMESTIC HOT WATER SYSTEM FLOW
Put the appliance in operation with the
(summer/winter) switch in winter position.
- Open a domestic hot water tap
(preferably the bath tap). Ensure cold
water inlet stopcock is open and the
D.H.W. thermostat 5 (Fig. 50) is set at
maximum.
If the burner does not light check that the
water flow rate is above the min.
required to operate the differential
pressure 2.8 Lts./min. (0.61 galsimin).
- The temperature of the water will
depend on the rate at which it flows. If,
due to high water pressure, the flow rate
is too high (and thus the temperature too
low for practical use) the flow rate may
be adjusted. It is better to set for the
lowest acceptable temperature preferably
at the bath tap since the user can gain
higher temperatures at other restricted
flow taps (Table 1).
- To adjust ‘the flow rate refer to (Fig. 53)
side view and locate the adjustment
screw (Fig. 53). Turn the screw clockwise
until the
required temperature is
reached.
N.B.: If the cold supply is subject to large
fluctuations or is above the permitted
max. water
pressure, a
suitable
pressure/flow regulator should be fitted
in the cold water supply to the appliance.
- Turn the appliance mode selector switch
(Fig. 50) (1) to the summer position.
Slowly close the draw off tap to reduce
the flow rate to above the min. (approx.
2.8 litre/min - 0.61 gals/min.). Rotate the
D.H.W. control thermostat to ensure it
operates at its various setting.
- Close the draw-off tap still further. The
burner should stop when the rate falls
below about 2.8 litreslmin (0.61
galslmin.).
Once the process of commissioning the boiler is
complete,
the commissioning engineer MUST
complete his section in the Benchmark log book.

- The following notes apply to the appliance and its controls but it should be
remembered that attention must also be
paid to the heating and hot water circuits with special attention to radiator
valves, thermostats, clocks, leaking hot
water taps etc.
- Where it is necessary to replace a gasket that relies on adhesive for securing this adhesive will be supplied with the
gasket as a spare item.
- In all cases prior to servicing, remove
the outer case (sect. 5.4). Operate the
appliance by turning the hot water services on to a high water flow, and
observe the main burner.
- Check that the flame covers all the
flame ports and is of a light blue colour.
Yellow flames and excessive lifting of
flames indicate poor combustion.
- IMPORTANT: After completing any servicing or replacement of gas carrying
components it is essential that a test for
gas soundness is always carried out
along with functional checks in operation.
TO INSPECT AND CLEAN THE APPLIANCE
Before carrying out cleaning operation,
cover the electrical control panel with a
piece of waterproof material to protect it
from debris.
Inspect the heat exchanger for any blockage. Deposits of any material should be
brushed always using a soft brush.
NOTE: Do not use brushes with metallic
bristles.
