est and that of the installer that you are aware of how to operate your boiler and heating system safely and efciently.
The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge. Children, even if being supervised, must not play with the appliance.
In the case of failure or malfunction of the appliance, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Please contact your
installer. Repairs must only be carried out by qualied technicians. Failure to comply with these requirements can compromise the safety of the appliance.
OPERATION
Water, coming from the radiators or from the DHW unit is heated in the aluminium heat exchanger. The CH or DHW pump
guarantees circulation of water. The air needed for combustion is sucked in by a rpm controlled fan. At low boiler tempera-
tures the flue gases can be cooled down sufciently for condensation of the water. This water is drained to the sewer via a
built in syphon. This drainage must never be blocked. A burner controller with built in micro processor provides the electrical control of the boiler.
TOPPING UP
The built in manometer indicates if the waterpressure is sufcient. As soon as the water pressure drops below 1 bar topping up is necessary. If topping up becomes a regular occurrance, your installation should be checked by an installer.
Disconnect from the main. Connect the lling hose to the cold water tap and to the ll and drain valve of the boiler. Before
tightning the coupling in the installation slowly ll the hose with water allowing present air to escape. Now open the ll and
drain valve and slowly ll the installation until a pressure between 1.5 and 2.0 bar is reached. When nished connect again
to the main.
BLEEDING
To remove any air present in the heating system and boiler, bleeding is necessary. Disconnect from the main. Open all the
radiator valves. Bleed the air from all the radiators starting with the ones at the lowest point in the system. After bleeding,
check the water pressure and top-up if required (if water pressure has dropped below 1 bar). Connect to the main again.

STARTING THE BOILER
Please ask your installer how to start the boiler. Depending on how your heating system is controlled, this could be via an
external timeclock, thermostat, switch or otherwise. Once the boiler volt-free enable contacts are closed, the boiler will
commence its starting sequence.
BOILER FLOW TEMPERATURE
The burner controller can adjust the flow temperature between 20 ° and 85 °C. The temperature setting can be changed
using the control panel. The installation manual provides the instructions for setting the flow temperature.
DHW (HOT WATER) TEMPERATURE
From the factory, the DHW temperature is set to a value of 60 °C. This set value can be changed to any value between 35
and 65 °C using the buttons on the control panel. If the DHW device has a thermostat the DHW temperature can be adjust-
ed by setting this thermostat.
SWITCHING OFF THE BOILER
During summer time the room thermostat can be set to a lower value to turn off the boiler. During winter or
during a longer period of absence this temperature never should be set to a lower value than 15 °C. Don’t
switch off the power. During a period of frost all the radiators should be partly or totally opened to avoid danger
of freezing.
The integrated pump control will activate the pump every 24 hours for a short period even if no demand is present. This
prevents the pump jamming.
Only when work on the boiler is being carried out may the main electricity supply and gas supply be turned off (your installer can show where these are located).
ERRORS
If an error occurs rst check the following:
▪ Is the room thermostat properly set?▪ Is the boiler connected to the main? Power supply present?▪ Is the gas valve opened?▪ Are the radiator valves open?▪ Is the water pressure in the installation higher than 1 bar?▪ Is the installation bled thoroughly?
An error is indicated by a code on the display. It is very important for the sake of a correct diagnosis to mention this code
when calling your installer. Reset the burner controller by pressing the ok button on the control panel. If the error occurs
frequently contact your installer.
MAINTENANCE
A yearly inspection of the boiler must be done by your installer. The lifespan and the reliability of the installation are im-
proved by doing so.The casing of the boiler may be cleaned with a soft cloth (no abrasives). Never use solvents like thinner!
CAUTION
The air supply (for air needed for combustion) and the flue parts are essential parts for safe and efcient operation of the boiler. Changes on these systems by non qualied persons are not allowed e.g. the settings of the
gas valve. The gas/air ratio is set to a lambda value of approximately 1.26. This corresponds with a CO2 level of
9,3 % (full load). For further information see installation manual.

4. OPERATION
The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge. Children, even if being supervised, must not play with the appliance.
In the case of failure or malfunction of the appliance, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Please contact your installer.
Repairs must only be carried out by qualied technicians. Failure to comply with these requirements can compromise
the safety of the appliance.
4.1 GENERAL
The CAHA Midi is a floor standing boiler, equipped with a cast aluminium heat-exchanger. During heat demand the controller activates the pump. The controller checks the air pressure switch (zero check) and increases the fan speed to perform
an airflow-check. Once the air pressure switch closes, the fan speed increases to ignition speed and a 5 second pre-purge
is performed. The water pressure sensor, gas pressure switch and siphon pressure switch are checked. When all pressure
switches are closed and the water pressure is ok, the ignition is started.
The air needed for combustion is taken in from the outside (if room sealed) or the boiler house (type B flue installation) by
the fan. The air is transported through a gas/air mixing device creating a negative pressure. This negative pressure is an
indication of the amount of air being transported. The negative pressure is supplied to the gas valve by an internal tube.
The gas valve automatically adjusts the amount of gas that will be injected into the venturi and that will be mixed with the
air-flow. This mixture is supplied to the burner.
Ignition and flame-control of the mixture is done by two separate electrodes mounted on the burnerhood.
Temperature control and safeguarding is done using two NTC sensors. The boiler monitors the sensors continuously in
order to control operation and ensure safe operation.
4.2 CENTRAL HEATING (CH)
4.2.1 ON-OFF ROOM THERMOSTAT
As standard the boiler is programmed for using an on-off room thermostat. The room thermostat has to be connected to
the pin nrs. 1 + 2 on the terminal strip. Open Therm will be recognized if connected on 1 + 2. The desired flow temperature
is adjustable, but as standard is set to 85 °C.
At CH heat request from the room thermostat (and no DHW heat request present) the CH-pump is activated after 10 sec-
onds. The controller will adjust the burner-input in such a way that a flow-temperature of 85 °C towards the CH-circuit is
achieved.
Warning : do not supply any voltage to these terminals as you may damage the controller
4.2.2 OPTIONAL 0-10V
The boiler may be controlled using a 0-10 V DC signal. Connect the negative (0V DC) to No. 3, and the positive (0-10V DC)
to No.4 on terminal strip C2.
A loop of wire must be placed between the pin nrs. 1 and 2 of terminal strip C2. In the technician menu , enable 0-10V in
the advanced CH settings menu by setting , CH request to either 0-10V DC % or 0-10V DC SP.
4.2.2.1 0-10V DC % POWER CONTROL
A value between 2 and 10V DC generates a CH power demand proportional to this value between 0 and 100% (0% = minimum load, 100% = nominal load). The heat demand is removed when the control signal falls below 1 volt.
The setpoint of maximum flow temperature is set to 90°C. In the user/technician menu , under diagnostics, boiler information the actual voltage input and target power are displayed.
CAHA Midi
Installation, Usage and Maintenance Instructions
9
4.2.2.2 0-10V DC SETPOINT
A value between 2 and 10V DC generates a CH setpoint demand proportional to this value between CH minimum flow temperature and maximum CH flow temperature. The heat demand is removed when the control signal falls below 1 volt.
The minimum and maximum CH flow temperature can be set in the technician menu, advanced CH settings, CH temperatures.
In the user/technician menu , under diagnostics, boiler information the actual voltage input and boiler setpoint are displayed.
Caution : Ensure that the 0-10V DC signal is free from electrical interference!
4.2.3 OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE CONTROL OTC (OPTIONAL)
The boiler may use an outdoor sensor to provide weather compensation (OTC).
To activate weather compensation connect an oudoor sensor to numbers 5 and 6 on the terminal strip C2. Pin numbers 1
and 2 have to be bridged by a wire. Alternatively those pin numbers ( 1 and 2) can be used for connecting room thermostat
on/off. In the technician menu, under advanced CH settings, CH
request, OTC only must be selected. The outdoor sensor is then
automatically detected by the controller. The parameters corresponding with A-E in the gure below can be set in the technician menu (advanced CH settings).
A OTC offset: minimum CH setpoint value
B OTC setpoint maximum: maximum CH setpoint value
C OTC weather cold: external temperature value at which the
maximum CH value will be used.
D OTC weather warm: external temperature value at which the
minimum CH value will be used
E OTC warm weather shutdown: external temperature value at which the CH demand will end
In the user menu an eco setpoint reduction (night reduction) can be set. Day, week and weekend options are also available
(on, eco, off)
The outdoor sensor is available as an optional accessory.
The sensor should be installed on the north-side of the building at a height of approximately 2 meters.
Note : The resistance of the outdoor NTC should be 12 kOhm at 25 °C.
Also see table of resistance for NTC’s at 6.6.2
4.2.4 OPTIONAL DIGITAL COMMUNICATION
The boiler supports digital communication with room thermostats using Open-Therm communication protocols (automatically recognised if connected to pins 1 + 2 on terminal strip C2, also see 4.2.1.)

4.2.5 SLOW START
The boiler uses the “slow start” procedure to prevent the boiler from supplying excessive power in low load situations.
After “zero check” APS and closure APS with pre purge ignition starts. Following, a stabilization period, the boiler modulates
down to low capacity and maintains this capacity for 1 minute. Subsequently the boiler power increases at a target rate
of 4 °C/min until maximum capacity or set temperature has been reached. Once heat demand has nished the burner will
turn off following a set post purge period.
The graph below illustrates this.
4.2.6 PROTECTION AGAINST INSUFFICIENT FLOW THROUGH BOILER
When the requirements of 6.3.2 are fullled the boiler will protect itself against insufcient flow. This is done by checking
the difference in temperature between flow and return (so called ΔT).
In a low flow scenario the ΔT will rise rapidly. The ΔT safe-guarding principle is as follows:
▪ AtΔT > 22 the boiler starts modulating▪ AtΔT between 22 and 27 the boiler continues modulating▪ AtΔT > 27 boiler the fan speed will reduce until T < 25

4.3 DOMESTIC HOT WATER (DHW)
4.3.1 EXTERNAL STORAGE TANK WITH THERMOSTAT (ELECTRIC 3-WAY VALVE)
As standard the DHW conguration is factory pre-set for an external storage tank + tank thermostat.
For hydraulic connection of an external storage tank to the boiler via an electric 3 way valve one should either use :
- an electric 3-way valve with a maximum travel time of 255 sec. (terminal strip C1: 13,14,15,16). At the end of the travel
time in either direction DHW or CH the 230 VAC on the 3-way valve will be switched off.
The 2 wires of the tank thermostat must be connected to numbers 7 and 8 on terminal strip C2.
In the case of using an electric 3-way valve adjust the setting in the technician menu, system settings, boiler parameters,
number of pumps to: pump and 3-way valve.
The 3-way valve travel time can be changed in the technician menu, system setting, boiler parameters, 3-way valve travel
time.
4.3.2 EXTERNAL STORAGE TANK WITH NTC SENSOR
In case the storage tank is equipped with an NTC sensor, adjust the setting in technician menu, advanced DHW settings,
DHW request to sensor.
Note: The resistance of the NTC sensor must have a value of 12 kOhm at 25 °C.
The 2 wires of the tank NTC sensor must be connected to numbers 7 and 8 on terminal strip C2.
The set point temperature of the storage tank is adjustable (default set at 60°C,the flow temperature is DHW setpoint +
20K). Warning : if a CH heat demand exists immediately after nishing the heat request for DHW, it is possible for high temperatures to flow into the CH system regardless of CH set point (hot shot).
4.3.3 DHW PRIORITY/GENERAL BEHAVIOUR WITH EXTERNAL STORAGE TANK
Disabling hot water operation : press Summer-Winter button R2-C4( not active in main screen). See later in manual for
further explanation.
Enabling hot water operation : press Summer-Winter button R2-C4 (active in main screen). See later in manual for further
explanation.
In the default boiler conguration, (2 pumps-DHW and CH pump), a DHW request has priority over CH request
In the technician menu, advanced DHW settings, DHW priority, the DHW priority over CH can either be disabled or a maximum DHW priority time can be set.
In the case where the DHW priority is disabled and both demands are active at the same, both pumps (CH and DHW) will
be activated. During this time the flow temperature is set to either 80 °C (tank thermostat) or DHW setpoint + 20K (NTC
sensor).

6. INSTALLATION
6.1 INSTALLING THE BOILER
The installation must be done in accordance with all local and national codes, regulations and standards, and in accordance with the directives of all relevant authorities.
1. The boiler must only be installed in an area where it is allowed to install it. Make sure that this area is protected against
the danger of freezing.
2. The area should have sufcient ventilation and cooling to prevent overheating.
3. When delivered the boiler is on a pallet. Install the boiler on a flat non-combustible floor and level it by using its posi-
tioning bolts.
4. A minimum free space of 50 cm should be left on each side of the boiler for service access.
5. Remove the sealing/protection caps from the connection tubes. Warning : take care as residual water from testing may
drip
6. Fill the condensate trap with clean water. This can be done by flushing some water into the cast aluminium exhaust
connection from the rear. This water will then drain into the syphon and ll it.
6.2 FROST PROTECTION
The boiler is protected against frost.
If the boiler detects an NTC flow temperature below 8 ºC, the CH-pump will be activated. If temperatures continues to fall the boiler will start at a flow temperature of 6 ºC and it will run on minimum load until the flow NTC
senses a temperature of 15 °C. The CH-pump will stay running for another 10 minutes. This only protects the
boiler and does not protect the installation, pipework or radiators against freezing.
During longer periods of absence in the winter, the installation itself should be protected by activating the heating periodically and by partly opening the radiator valves. Where a room thermostat is controlling the demand, do not set the room
thermostat to a value below 15 °C.
To protect frost sensitive radiators against frost it is possible to connect a frost thermostat in parallel with a Volt free room
thermostat.
It is also possible to set the CH pump to activate automatically under OTC settings when an outdoor sensor is present (this
must be set by the installer). In this case,the CH pump will be activated if the outdoor temperature drops below 8 ºC.

6.3 WATER CONNECTION
6.3.1 PUMP
The boiler does not have a built in CH-pump. Therefore a CH-pump must be mounted separately . Select a pump that
matches the hydraulic resistance of the boiler and the installation. The graph below shows the resistance characteristics
for the different boiler models
For electrical connections see chapter 6.7.

6.3.3 WATER-TREATMENT
Before lling up the installation (old and new), the installation should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water from
the tap.There are some rinsing/cleaning products listed below and it is recommended that these are used.
▪ The pH must be kept between 7 and 8,5 at all times▪ The maximum allowed content of chlorides is 150 mg/ltr.▪ The water hardness of the heating system must be according to the German VDI guideline 2035. See following table:
50-300kW total boiler capacity<11,2 ºdH<8,4 ºdH<0,11 ºdH
300-600kW total boiler capacity<8,4 ºdH<0,11 ºdH<0,11 ºdH
>600kW total boiler capacity<0,11 ºdH<0,11 ºdH<0,11 ºdH
▪ Example: for a CAHA Midi 340kW boiler and a total hardness of 8,40 ºdH (German VDI hardness) the total volume of
lled, relled and topped up water must not exceed 20 ltrs/kW. If this hardness value is exceeded the total amount of
lling, relling and topping up water is (8,4 / actual hardness in ºdH) x ltrs/kW. In the case of water hardness of 15ºdH
the maximum volume/kW is: (8,4/15) x 20 = 11,2 ltr/kW. If higher values are present, the water should be softened.
▪ The water may only be partly softened to a value of 20% of its original value. Example : if the initial hardness is 15°D,
then it may only be softened to 3,0 ºD Note that water softening by means of ion exchange principle is not allowed. If
the installation is lled with demineralised or distilled water additives must be added to stabilise the pH value in order to
prevent corrosion. Before lling with demineralised water the complete installation must be rinsed.
▪ The conductivity of the non treated installation water must not exceed the value of 300 μs/cm in combination with a
max O2 content of 0,1 mg/ltr. If the O2 content is lower than 0,02 mg/ltr a higher conductivity limit of 600 μs/cm is
allowed. if the conductivity is higher than the values mentioned above, empty the system, flush and ll with clean tap
water, prefeably by adding the recommended cleaning products.
▪ The water pressure must be higher than 0,8 bar▪ The water quality must be checked on a regular basis (at least annually)▪ There are many products available on the market which pretend to clean and protect heating systems. Unfortunately
there are only a few that have really proven this in practice.Therefore RVR Energy Technology only allows the following
quality products for water treatment ;

Note that these products must be used strictly in accordance with the water treatment manufacturers instructions.
Furthermore we strongly recommend the following ;
▪ Use the above mentioned water treatment protection products to ll and protect the installation▪ Use a log book to record water lling, relling, topping up, water quality measurements and water treatment▪ Only use diffusion tight material, especially for under floor heating▪ Always mount air vents at the highest points in the installation.▪ Install isolation/check valves near the boiler and on strategic locations (anticipating any future expansions of the sys-
tem) to avoid lls, rells and topping up as much as possible.
▪ Install a water meter to check the amount of lled, relled and topped up water.▪ Install a lter (magnetic and dirt) in the return.▪ Install an isolation heat-exchanger to separate the boiler from the installation to protect dirt or lime in the secondary
system from affecting the boiler.
▪ Avoid leaks and if there is a leak, repair as soon as possible.

6.3.4 WATER CONNECTION GENERAL
1. Water connections for flow and return are size DN100
2. The installation must have a pressure relief valve (with a capacity higher than the boiler output) and an expansion ves-
sel. The capacity of this vessel should be sufcient for the installation.
3. To avoid blocking and non volatile lock-out of the boiler control it is recommended to install a by-pass in the installation
to guarantee the minimum flow through the boiler. The by-pass valve should be mounted as far away from the boiler as
possible to have the biggest possible content of the bypass-circuit (also a big radiator without valves could be used).
4. Drain the condensate via a tundish and an U-trap to the sewer.
5. At the highest point of the installation a de-airing device should be mounted.
6.4 GAS CONNECTION
6. The gas connection must be done in accordance with all local and national codes, regulations and standards, and in
accordance with the directives of all relevant authorities.
7. The gaspipe of the boiler has a R 1,5” connection.
8. In order to avoid blockage of the gas valve, ensure that there is no dirt in the gas pipework prior to commissioning.
9. The maximum allowable inlet pressure for the gas valve is 50 mbar.
10. Check the heat input of the boiler. The load as given on the type plate should be checked.
6.5 AIR-SUPPLY AND FLUE-GAS CONNECTION
Air connection : All types have air connection ø 150 mm
Flue gas connection : ø 250 mm for all types
Allowed Appliance types: Possibilities for air / flue system ; B23 C33 C63
Note : C63 is not possible for Belgium.
6.5.1 B23
As standard the boiler is delivered as type B23 where the supply air is taken from the room where the boiler has been
installed in.
If the inlet air contains dust or dirt one should install a lter or a leaf catcher in the air supply.
A vertical terminal is recommended
Roof terminals and extensions and/or condensate trap/collector must be approved by RVR Energy Technology. See page
33.
For pressure drop calculation of appliance type B23 use the table for pressure drop per component and the table for total
pressure drop calculation. See page 44.
For total available pressure drop see table on page 42.
6.5.2 C33
A vertical terminal is recommended.
Roof terminals and extensions and/or condensate trap/collector must be approved by RVR Energy Technology. See page
44.
For pressure drop calculation of appliance type C33 use the table for pressure drop per component and the table for total
pressure drop calculation. See page 42. For total available pressure drop see table on page 42.

6.5.3 C63
C63 appliances may only be equipped with Gastec QA materials and terminals or according NEN 14989-2
Note: When using a C63 type flue conguration it is essential to ensure that C63 is allowed in the country
were the boiler is installed.
It is recommended to use a full aluminium flue system. A PP (Temperature class T120) or stainless steel flue system can
also be used (See TPW table below). In this case the condensate must be drained before it flows back into the aluminium
parts of the boiler. Otherwise aggressive condensate from the non-aluminium flue system can corrode the aluminium parts
of the boiler. A condensate trap/collector must be mounted just before entering the silencer(s) of the boiler (also see 6.5.5.1

6.5.5 INSTALLING FLUE -EXHAUST AND AIR INLET
6.5.5.1 GENERAL
• Do not use materials from different manufacturers for either exhaust or air inlet
• Only the manufacturers of flue way and air inlet components as mentioned in this manual may be used
• Both systems (exhaust and air) should be mounted free of tension
CONDENSATE, ICE-FREE TERMINAL, TUNDISH AND U-TRAP
The boilers can produce flue gasses with very low temperatures, which can lead to condensation in the flue pipes and flue
terminal. Therefore one should always mount an ice free terminal. Drain the condensate via a tundish and a U-trap to the
sewer.
AIR INLET
If PP material is used for the air inlet a minimum distance of 35 mm between exhaust and air inlet should be respected.
The minimum insert length of the sleeve, leaf catcher or pipe must be 40 mm.
FLUE EXHAUST
A horizontal flue gas (exhaust) pipe must be installed with a fall of 3° (50 mm per mtr) downwards towards the boiler to
allow condensate to flow back in the sump or condensate collector.
The minimum insert length into the sleeve and the minimum length of the pipe end for aluminium and stainless steel must
be 40 mm.
If PP is used pay attention to the expansion (elongation) of the PP due to rise in flue gas temperature.
Insert the PP pipe into the sleeve and redraw over a length of 10 mm ( 10 mm for maximum pipe length of 2 mtr).
After mounting the minimum insert length into the sleeve and the pipe end must be 40 mm.
CONDENSATE TRAP/COLLECTOR
The condensate trap/collector must be either connected by
a tube to a syphon that provides the same height of water column as the one supplied with the boiler or by a T-piece to the
syphon as supplied with the boiler
Note: The chimney pieces (silencers) that are delivered with the boiler need to be mounted correctly as shown in the g-
ures beneath
For 6,7 and 8 section boilers one silencer must be mounted with its sticker as shown in the rst gure below. For the 5
section boiler two silencers must be mounted with its sticker as shown overleaf.

• Horizontal and non vertical pipes should be bracketed equally divided with a maximum distance of 1 mtr between the
brackets
• Vertical pipes should be bracketed equally divided with a maximum distance of 2 mtrs between the brackets
• In case of a chimney shaft, rst identify the air inlet. The end of the air inlet pipe should be at least 0.5 mtr above the shaft. The last component before entering the shaft should be xed. If a bend is the last component also x the component before the bend.
FLUE GAS (EXHAUST)
• A bracket must be mounted to every component except in the case that the length of the pipe before and after the
bend < 0.25 mtr. In this case mount the rst bracket at a length of max 0.5 mtr away from the boiler
• Horizontal and non vertical pipes that have a distance between the xing brackets > 1 mtr should be equipped with a
non clamping (to allow minor movement) bracket in between
• Vertical pipes should be bracketed equally divided with a maximum distance of 2 mtrs between the brackets
• In case of a chimney shaft, rst identify the flue outlet. Check if the used shaft pipes are damaged or blocked.The ends
of the exhaust pipe should be at least 0.5 mtr above the shaft. The last component before entering the shaft should be
xed. If a bend is the last component also x the component before the bend.
6.5.5.3 SEALING AND JOINING
• Prevent incorrect or damaged seals by shortening pipes squarely and by deburring after shortening.
• Joins or connections in the exhaust flue may not be screwed.
• In the air inlet only aluminium or stainless steel joins or connections may be screwed. It is not allowed to screw PP
joins or connections.
• Do not use glue or foam like silicon or PUR.
• To assure soundness all components must be sealed.
• For smooth joining only use a soap solution (1% in water). Do not use oil, grease or (acid free) Vaseline

7. COMMISSIONING
1. Fill and bleed the system. Fill the boiler until a pressure between 1.5 and 2 bar isachieved. The maximum working pressure is 6 bar. The boiler (not the installation!) is automatically bled by a built in automatic air vent.
2. Check all gas and water connections thoroughly for leaks.
3. Bleed the gas pipe.
4. As standard the boiler is set for G20 or G25. Check that the installation provides the correct type of gas to the boiler.
5. Check the inlet pressure : 20 mbar or 25 mbar
6. Turn on the boiler by setting the main switch on the control panel of the boiler to position 1 (on).
7. Generate (create) a heat demand.
8. Just before ignition the control checks if the contacts of the gas pressure,syphonpressure and water pressure switches are closed.If not, the boiler will block and the display will show E76.
9. If gas, water syphon pressure switches are closed the burner will be ignited.
10. Perform a thorough check on flue-gas joints for leakage.
11. Check the heat input and the gas pressure at maximum load.
12. Heat up the installation. Stop the heat request.
13. Bleed the installation again, topping up the water system pressure if required.
14. Explain the operation of the boiler to the user.
15. Explain to the user the signicance of error codes and the need to report themwhen requesting service engineer support.
16. After installation the datasheet as shown in chapter 9.1 should be lled in.This should be repeated at every service-interval.
17. Safely store the installation and the user manual preferably in close proximity to the boiler.

7.2 ADJUSTMENT % CO2 AND CHECK INPUT
The boiler is equipped with an automatic gas/air regulator. This means that the amount of gas is regulated depending on
the amount of air. The % CO2 needs to be adjusted according to the table below ;
The boiler has a gas valve that is connected to a venturi. See gure below.
ADJUSTMENT FOR MAX. LOAD
• Wait until the boiler is stable and measure % CO
• If required, correct CO2 with the throttle ; turning towards + gives a higher
CO2 percentage (a ½ turn (180°) causes a change of approximately 0,85 %
CO2)
•
2
ADJUSTMENT FOR MIN. LOAD
• Wait until the boiler is stable
• If required, correct the CO2 with the off-set ; turning towards + gives a higher
CO2 percentage. Note : this offset adjustment is very sensitive : half a turn
(180°) causes a change of approximately 1 % CO2.

8. ERRORS
8.1 GENERAL
If there is no data visible on the display, the fuse (10,0 A Slow blow) in the control panel ,near the main switch, should be
checked (as well as the position of the on/off switch) and should if required be replaced (after the cause for break down
has been determined and rectied).
WARNING! THIS FUSE IS PART OF THE 230 V CIRCUIT. DISCONNECT THE BOILER FROM THE MAINS
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING THE FUSE!
If there is still no data visible on the display, one has to check if there is 230 VAC present on the connections “L”
and “N” of connector X1 in the MAXSYS. Also see electrical wiring diagram.
If there is 230 VAC present (terminal connector C1: 12,13) , then the 230 V fuses F1 and F2 inside the Maxsys should be
renewed. Disconnect the boiler from the main 230V supply and remove the connectors from the Maxsys.
Notice : for this it is not necessary to unscrew the Maxsys from the mounting plate
Release the six security clips with a long thin screw driver. Then remove the protective cover of the Maxsys. Replace the
230 V fuse(s) F1: T3.15 AL 250V and/or F2 T3.15 AL 250V inside the Maxsys.
A blown fuse in the Maxsys controller could be caused by a short-circuited pump. It is recommended to also check the CHpump and also the DHW pump in this case.
If the 230 V fuses are OK and the display is still blank, then the cable of the display to the Maxsys (X15) should be checked.
If this is also ok, the Maxsys should be replaced.
Six security clips
F1: T3.15A 250 V
F2: T3.15A 250 V
If you are not sure that there is any heat demand, you can force the boiler to start as described in 5.5.
On heat demand, the boiler control will perform a zero-check of the air pressure switch before starting the fan. Following
this, the fan will start and wait for air pressure switch to close. As soon as APS has closed, starting procedure will continue.
APS closes at P > 40 Pa.
If there is a problem with APS, the display will show blower speed error.
The boiler control checks the status of the built-in pressure switches for water, gas and syphon just before ignition ; Water
pressure should be > 1,4 bar (E47); Gas pressure should be > 14 mbar (E76); Syphon pressure should be < 12,4 mbar (E77)

9. ANNUAL SERVICE
Maintenance should only be done by a qualied installer or technician. The following maintenance routine
should be done annually (see also 9.1)
The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge. Children, even if being supervised, must not maintain or clean the
appliance
Put the boiler into operation on max. load (see section 5.5). Determine the heat input of the boiler. Check % CO2 . Compare
the heat input with that measured at installation. If the heat input is now considerably lower then there is probably an obstruction in the air inlet or the flue-outlet or in the boiler itself.
Switch off the boiler. First check the air-inlet and the exhaust flue-outlet.
Disconnect from the mains electricity supply. Remove the front cover, top cover and side cover.
Remove the syphon and clean it.
Remove the inspection cover* of the sump on the front side beneath the controls.
The inner part of the sump and the bottom part of the heat-exchanger should be inspected and, if necessary, be cleaned.
If the bottom part of the heat-exchanger is clogged, the inspection covers on the left-hand side of the heat-exchanger
should be removed*. Using a special tool (see gure below) makes it possible to clean the heat-exchanger lids partially . In
case of dirt in the sump it is also advisible to inspect the upper part of the heat-exchanger as well. Remove the fan* togeth-
er with the burner hood*, the gas valve* and the gas pipe*. Now the burner* is visible and can be taken out and inspected.
If necessary clean the cold side with a vacuum cleaner (or carefully with compressed air) and a nylon brush (never use a
steel brush). Inspect the combustion chamber. In case of a dirty heat-exchanger it can be cleaned with water. Check the
burner seal* and replace if necessary.
Rell the condensate trap with clean water and reconnect it.
Check the electrode, especially the distance between the two pins (4,5± 0,5 mm).
Replace electrode if necessary.
Put everything back in its place. Check the CO2-content and correct if necessary.
Check the gas-parts for leakages.
Check the flue-gas parts for flue-gas leakages and condensate leakages.

9.1 SERVICE-MAINTENANCE TABLE
When commissioning the boiler, it is recommended to measure load, CO2, CO, T flow, T return, P air pressure switch and
Psyphon pressure switch and write the values down in the table below.
Measure these values when the boiler is in equilibrium at maximum load (also see chapter 5.5).
During annual maintenance we advise to measure and write down these values also and compare them to the previous
values and analyse any changes.

[mbar]
At the factory the maximum load of the boiler was measured within 5% tolerance from the nominal load.
In the eld the load can decrease due to increased resistance in the boiler, the air inlet or the exhaust outlet or due to mal-
functioning of the fan or other causes.
At maximum load the installation should be designed for nominal T of 15 K to 20 K.
When the T is higher than 25 K, the boiler cannot continue at maximum load anymore and will start to modulate because
water flow through the boiler is insufcient.
T flow and T return can be read in “info mode” on the display (see 5.4 diagnostics)
Valves, malfunctioning pumps, dirt, corrosion products from the installation, dirty lters etc. can have negative impact on
water flow through the boiler.
Before ignition the boiler control checks P aps during prepurge. During burner operation this check will be carried out. If
the value decreases over successive years, this could indicate a problem, e.g. malfunctioning of the fan, dirty air inlet, dirty
burner, dirty heat exchanger or dirty exhaust system.
Syphon pressure (P sps) should be lower than the maximum allowable flue resistance. If P sps is too high (> 12,4 mbar),
the boiler will be stopped.
In this case the exhaust system may be blocked.
