2. Safety precautions

Solzaima is not liable for any damages to the unit if the specified precautions, warnings and operating procedures are not followed. Units manufactured by Solzaima are easy to operate and special attention was given to their components in order to protect users and installers against accidental damages. The units must only be installed by an authorised engineer, who should supply the client with a relevant statement of conformity and who shall be liable for the final installation and consequent product good operating conditions. This unit must be used according to its intended use as specified by the manufacturer. The manufacturer is excluded from all liability, by contract or by tort, caused by injury to people, animals or property arising from misuse or faulty installation or servicing. After removing the packaging, verify the contents to check its integrity and completeness. If the package contents does not correspond to the

parts list specified on item 1, please contact the entity from whom you purchased the unit. All the unit's components guarantee its operation and energy efficiency and should only be replaced with original parts provided by an authorised technical assistance centre The unit must be serviced at least once a year by the installation engineer. This manual is provided with the product. Please keep it beside the unit.

For your safety, we recommend that:

 You fully read and understand the information detailed in this manual before handling the pellet-run boiler, which is a biomass heating unit.  You make sure the hydraulic circuit was correctly assembled and connected to the water supply before turning on the pellet-run boiler.  The boiler is not intended for use by children or persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, nor by those lacking experience and knowledge, unless under direct supervision or instruction.  Do not touch the boiler when barefoot, nor when any part of your body is wet or humid.  Do not tamper with safety or adjustment features without the manufacturer's authorization;

 Do not cover or reduce the size of the vents at the installation area;  The pellet-run boiler requires good air supply to guarantee correct

combustion; as such, if the unit is kept in an air tight environment or is exposed to other existing sources of air extraction, its correct functioning may be impeded.

 The existence of vents is a requisite for proper combustion;  Do not leave the packing materials near children;  When the unit is operating normally, the boiler door cannot be opened.  Avoid direct contact with parts of the unit that tend to become hot

during operation;  Check the existence of any obstructions on the fume duct before turning on the unit after a long period of inactivity;

 This pellet-run boiler is intended for residential use, within a protected environment. Safety systems may intervene to shut down the boiler. If this occurs, contact technical assistance. In any circumstances should you attempt to interfere with the safety systems;  The pellet-run boiler is a biomass heating unit equipped with an electric fume extractor. The occurrence of any power failure during its use may prevent fume extraction and the room will be filled with smoke. For this reason, you should have a natural fume extraction system, like a chimney, available;  Solzaima offers an optional safety system that allows you to connect your boiler to a UPS unit, thus avoiding problems related to a power failure and ensuring that the fume extractor will continue to operate under such conditions until the complete extraction of all fumes;  If you intend to use your boiler when leaving it unattended or while you are away from home, it is advised that you utilise the safety system specified above to guarantee its safe functioning in the eventuality of a power failure;  While in operation, NEVER disconnect the electric plug of your pelletrun boiler. Seeing as the boiler's fume extractor is power-operated, disconnecting the plug would prevent the extraction of combustion fumes;  Your unit must be disconnected from the mains for servicing. Before doing this, the unit must be totally cooled down (if operating before);  Never touch the interior of the boiler without first disconnecting it from the power mains;  The maximum water temperature (set-point temperature) that the user can set for the boiler is 80°C. In the event of the boiler reaching a temperature of 95ºC, it will automatically switch off and activate a corresponding alarm.

5.1. Installation of pipes and fume exhaust

systems:

 The exhaust pipe must have been designed for this purpose, in compliance to the location requirements and in accordance with any applicable regulations.

 Important! An inspection-"T", fitted with a hermetic lid, must be attached to the end of the boiler's exhaust pipe to allow for the regular inspection of the system, as well as the discharge of heavy dust and condensates.  As indicated in Figure 4, the exhaust duct must be assembled so as to

permit its cleaning and maintenance through the inspection points.  Under normal operating conditions, the combustion gas flow should

create a draught of 12 Pa one meter above the chimney neck.

 The boiler must not share the chimney with any other equipment.  The pipes located outside the boiler's working area must have an

internal diameter of 100 mm and be of double stainless steel insulation.

 The fume exhaust pipe may generate condensation, so we

recommend that the appropriate systems for collecting

condensates should be installed.

5.2. Installation without a shaft

Figure 5 and 6 illustrate the basic requirements when installing the boiler's chimney. A "T" should be included at the base of the piping system for the purpose of periodic inspections and annual maintenance, as exemplified. Double-walled stainless steel insulated pipes must be used and properly fastened to avoid condensation.

Figure 6 – Examples of standard installations.

Failure to comply with the requirements here detailed may prevent

the correct operation of the unit. Follow all the instructions presented on the diagrams.

The boilers operate with the combustion chamber in depression,

which is why it is absolutely necessary that they include a fume exhaust pipe to adequately extract combustion gases.

Fume duct material: The tubing must consist of 0.5 mm thick rigid stainless steel, with fastening joints attaching the different sections and accessories.

Insulation: The fume ducts must be double-walled and insulated to make sure that fumes do not cool down going outwards, which would cause an inadequate circulation and condensation that may damage the unit.

Output “T-tube” : Always attach a regulator "T-tube" to the output of the boiler.

Windproof terminal: A windproof terminal must always be installed to avoid the backflow of fumes. Chimney draught: The figures below show three standard diagrams, specifying adequate lengths and diameters. Any other type of installation must guarantee a draught of 12 Pa (0.12mbars) measured when hot and at the maximum power.

Ventilation: To ensure the boiler's optimum operation, the installation

location should be fitted with an air vent, with a minimum cross-

section of 100 cm2, preferably close to the unit's back panel. The

boiler includes a circular pipe ( 50mm) that may be routed to the exterior of the house.

5.3. Installation with a shaft

As shown in Figure 7, the pellet-run boiler is installed with a  100 mm exhaust pipe directed up the chimney. If the chimney is too large, an 80 mm-wide pipe should be installed at the fume outlet. A "T"-tube must be attached to the base of the piping to allow for periodic inspections and annual maintenance, as illustrated in Figure 7.

Figure 7 – Side view of the boiler installation with a shaft, highlighting the

inspection point.

It is recommended that the boiler not be used during adverse weather conditions that may seriously disrupt the unit's fume extraction capacity (this is especially the case with very strong winds).

If you do not use the unit for a long time, check it to make sure that the flue pipes are clear before lighting the fire.

6. Hydraulic Installation

* Chapter 12 (installation diagrams) includes diagrams illustrating the range of possible connections that may be used in the installation of a central heating system, with or without the feature of heating water for domestic use;

* The pellet-run boiler comes equipped with a circulating pump, an expansion tank (with a volume of 10 litres, in the case of the 18kW model, and of 16 litres, in the case of the 24kW and 30kW models) with a pre-charge pressure of 1.0 bar, as well as a 3 bar safety valve;

* Operating pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bars;

* To empty the unit, attach a "T-tube" with a tap to the outlet (connected to the household sewage); the safety valve (3 bar) outlet must also be connected to the household sewage;

* The heat transporting fluid must consist of water mixed with an anticorrosion, non-toxic product added in the quantity recommended by the manufacturer. If there exists any risk of freezing in the space where the boiler is installed, or within its fluid pipes, the installation engineer must add the manufacturer's recommended quantity of anti-freeze agent to the circulating fluid, in order to avoid freezing at the absolute minimum expected temperature.

6.1. Operating mode for radiator/Buffer tank

IMPORTANT! The boiler is programmed to work directly for radiators, in case you want to install the boiler with a buffer or AQS tank, we recommend changing the temperature "OFF" of the circulation pump by placing the same temperature as the deposit or 1 °C higher than this temperature, should disable the "hYDRO Menu" modes "Modulating Pump"

and "hydro independent" and switch the mode display "Auto" to "Manual" mode and select the power 5 (Fire 5). You must change the smoke temperatures ("Toff" and "Ton") in the "Activation" menu. For these changes is necessary to access the "Installer Menu" on the display, please request a password manufactures.

7. Fuel

The boiler must be exclusively fuelled by pellets. No other fuel may be used. Use onlypellets certified by standard EN 14961-2 grade A1, 6mm in diameter and a length between 10-30mm.

The pellets may have a maximum humidity of 8% their weight. To guarantee a good combustion, the pellets must maintain these characteristics so they should be stored in a dry place. The use of pellets of varied quality reduces the boiler's efficiency and leads to an inadequate combustion process.

You should always use certified pellets and must not forget to test

a sample before buying large bulks.

The physical/chemical properties of the pellets (calibre, friction, density and chemical composition) may vary within specific tolerances and according to each manufacturer. Please note that this may cause alterations to the feeding process and, consequently, the need for different doses (more or less pellets).

The boiler's pellet dosage can be adjusted during the start-up phase and at the power thresholds of± 25% (see the manual –

temporary and power settings)

Warning!

The unit must NOT be used as an incinerator.

8. Use of the pellet-run boiler

Recommendations

Before starting up the unit, please check the following:

 Guarantee that the boiler is properly connected to the power mains by means of the 230 VAC power cable.

Figure 8 – Electric power plug.

 Check to see whether the pellet reservoir is supplied with pellets. Inside thepellet reservoir is a safety grid to prevent users from reaching theworm screw.  Always check whether the burner is unblocked before igniting the boiler.

The boiler's combustion chamber, as well as its doors, are made of iron

plate painted with high temperature resistant paint. Fumes are released during the initial burning sessions due to the curing of this paint. Avoid touching the unit during its first burn to prevent leaving permanent marks on the paint. The paint goes through a more plastic phase during the curing process. The curing of the paint occurs at approximately 300ºC and for 30 minutes.

Ensure that the hydraulic circuit was correctly assembled and is connected to the water supply;

You should check that there is sufficient ventilation in the room where the unit is installed, otherwise it will not work properly. You should therefore check to see whether there are other heating air-consuming units in the room (e.g. gas units, oil boilers, etc.), which should not be used simultaneously with the unit.

The pellet-run boiler is equipped with a sensor probe for measuring room temperature. This probe is attached to the grid located on the back panel of the unit (Figure 9). For a good reading of the room temperature, avoid the contact between the end of the probe and the unit chassis. You may also attach the probe to the wall beside the unit.

Figure 9 – Room temperature sensor probe

At the first start of the boiler or After some time without use, the linear cleaning motor might create some mechanical resistance to movement, hindering its proper functioning. Before putting the boiler into operation you must press the black button, in the upper zone of the motor (fig. 10-a), and holding the button (fig. 10-b), move the arm repeatedly

back and forth (as shown in the figures 10-c and d) until it returns to work normally.

19. Installation of the external silo

Solzaima’s automatic wood pellet boiler has an internal tank with a capacity of 45kg of wood pellets. Solzaima’s optional storage unit allows you to increase by about 200kg the amount of wood pellets available, significantly increasing the autonomy of the boiler.

The optional storage unit set includes:

- Storage unit;

- Casters for moving the storage unit;

- Worm drive channel to transport the pellets into the boiler’s internal

tank;

- Electric power enginer to rotate the worm drive screw;

- Circuit board with wiring included;

- pellet level sensor of the storage unit

Together with the storage unit a connection kit to the boiler is provided and it includes:

- Instruction manual;

- Storage unit instruction manual;

- Flexible hose with metal bracket to connect the storage unit to the

boiler;

- Cable to connect the storage unit level sensor and Pellet level sensors

for the boiler’s internal tank to the circuit board;

- Cable for electrical connection of the deposit;

- Ramp to put inside the boiler’s tank;

- Parts for the rear and lateral fixation of the storage unit to the boiler;

- Screws for attaching the level sensors to the tank of the boiler.

Description of operation

When the level sensors of the boiler’s internal tank ceases to detect pellets (the sensor lights go off) the electric power engine of the storage unit is triggered, by rotating the worm drive screw of the storage unit. Thus the pellets are transported from the storage unit to the boiler’s internal tank. The electric power engine will run continuously until the sensors in the boiler’s tank detect pellets again (sensor lights turn on). When this happens, the electric power engine stops.

Thus, the storage unit system will be triggered each time the pellets level in the boiler’s tank is low, preventing the boiler’s flame is extinguished due to the lack of pellets.

In the storage unit, there is also a sensor that detects the level of pellets. When the pellets level is low, the sensor will cease to detect the pellets (the sensor light goes off) and will appear on the display a message of troubleshooting. After 40 seconds will appear on the boiler’s display na alarm signal (code A15) and the boiler shuts down. The electric power engine keeps running, fueling the boiler’s internal tank until the sensors detect pellets.

To restart the boiler, you will have to refill the storage unit with pellets

(at least until the level sensor detects pellets) and reset the error (see automatic boiler instruction manual).

The wood pellet storage unit can be installed on either the left or right side of the boiler. By default, it is configured to be installed on the right side of the boiler.

For greater ease you should proceed to the assembly and adjustment of the storage unit before installing the boiler.

Adjusting the height of the boiler

With the boiler placed in its final position, and before starting the installation of the storage unit, you should level the boiler and put it at the same height of the storage unit. To do so, you should place the storage unit beside the boiler (left or right) and adjust the leveling feet of this until it is aligned with the storage unit by the upper zone, as shown in the following pictures.

Figure 21 – Adjusting the height of the boiler

Adjusting the sensor’s response time and sensitivity

You can adjust the pellet level sensor’s sensitivity. The higher the sensitivity, the better the sensors will detect the pellets in their proximity to send an electric signal to the control circuit board.

a) b)

Figure 22 – Difference between a level sensor with low sensitivity (a) and high

sensitivity one (b)

To set the sensor to the required sensitivity rotate the knob (Figure 23a) clockwise to increase the sensitivity or counter clockwise to decrease it (Figure 23-b).

a) b)

Figure 23 – Adjusting the level sensor sensitivity

1 – To adjust the sensitivity must connect the tank to the boiler using the cable Kit.

Increased sensitivity

Decreased sensitivity

a) b)

d) e)

Figure 24 – Connecting the sensors to the circuit board

2 – Next, you should remove the storage unit’s level sensor. By default, it comes installed on the left side of the storage unit (the storage unit is set up by default to be installed on the right side of the boiler). To do this, loosen the screws of the part that supports the sensor and remove the set.

Figure 25 – Removing the storage unit’s level sensor

3 – With the sensors already connected to the circuit board, you must connect the boiler to the mains.

4 – You should put some pellets in a container, and next to the boiler, perform the sensitivity adjustment, as described in the following steps:

- put the sensor over the pellets;

Figure 26 – Placement of the sensor over the pellets

- Rotate the adjustment knob counter clockwise so that the lights go out

(if they are not already out) -

a) b)

Figure 27-a – and then, slowly rotate clockwise until the lights come on -

a) b)

Figure 27 – b and c.

a) b)

Figure 27 – Adjustment of the sensor sensitivity

- Then, with the light of the sensor on, you should move the sensor away from the pellets and check that the light go out (Figure 28-a) and re-approach and check that the light come on when approaching the pellets (Figure 28-b)

a) b)

Figure 28 – Adjustment of the sensors sensitivity

- If the light do not go out when moving the sensor away from the pellets or do not come on when approaching, re-adjust the sensitivity of the sensor and repeat the test.

- You shall perform the sensitivity adjustment for both the boiler’s tank

level sensors and for the storage unit’s level sensor.

You can also adjust the sensor's response time, to set the time the sensor waits before sending the signal to the circuit board upon detecting the pellets. This setting can be made directly on the storage unit electronic circuit board, on the upper right corner, using the same

procedure used for adjusting the sensitivity – rotate clockwise to increase the response time and counter clockwise to decrease the response time.

The response time should be set to the minimum value

Installing the storage unit on the right side of the boiler

The level sensor of the storage unit must always be installed on the side closest to the boiler.

1 – If you want to install the storage unit on the right side of the boiler you must install the level sensor on the left side of the storage unit, in the same place where he comes assembled by default. Before, you should disconnect the plug of the cable connected to the circuit board, to facilitate the assembly. To fasten it, you should use the screws previously removed, and put it in the position shown in Figure 29-b.

a) b)

Figure 29 – Installing the sensor level in the storage unit

2 – Then, you should install the ramp to drop the pellets in the boiler’s internal tank. For this, you should start by removing the right side cover of the boiler’s tank – removing the 4 screw securing it (Figure 30).

Note: the pump is configured as standard at full capacity (75-100%).

Changing the setting of the pump

Can be chosen between the the view of the performance of pump and th view of settings, just press the button once. If you need to change the pump performance, you must press the button for 2 seconds (see Figure - 73), after this action the LEDs start blinking, then you must press the button until the desired setting (see Table 5), after 10 seconds the display automatically switches to the view of performance with alteration saved.

27. Life cycle of a pellet-run boiler

About 90% of the materials used in the manufacture of these units are recyclable, thus contributing towards a reduced environmental impact and the sustainable development of our planet. As such, units that have reached their end of useful life should be delivered to authorised waste operators. It is advised to contact your local authorities for the appropriate collection instructions.

28. SUSTAINABILITY

Solzaima designs and manufactures biomass solutions and equipment as a primary energy source. This is our contribution to the sustainability of our planet – an economically viable and environmentally-friendly alternative, following the best environmental management practices to ensure efficient carbon cycle management.

Solzaima makes all efforts to learn and to know the national forest park while efficiently responding to energy demands, taking permanent care to maintain its biodiversity and natural wealth that are essential for the quality of life on our Planet.

SOLZAIMA is a member of the Sociedade Ponto Verde, the entity that manages package waste, thus you can take the packaging that comes with your unit, such as plastic and cardboard, to your nearest recycling point.

SOLZAIMA is part of the Amb3E, the entity responsible for collecting waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE); as such, end-of-life units with forced ventilation systems must be taken to an appropriate WEEE-processing location. When you disassemble your unit, you can take its electrical components to your nearest WEEE collection point.

29. Glossary

Ampere (A): SI unit of measurement of electric current

bar: unit of pressure equal to exactly 100,000 Pa. This pressure is very close to

standard atmospheric pressure.

cal(Calorie): equal to the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of one gram of water by one degree centigrade.

cm (centimetres): unit of measurement.

CO (carbon monoxide): Lightly flammable, colourless, odourless and very

dangerous gas, due to its toxicity.

CO2 (carbon dioxide): Gas needed by plants for photosynthesis on the one hand,

and emitted into the atmosphere on the other, contributing to the greenhouse effect.

Combustion: a process for obtaining energy. Combustion is basically a chemical reaction that requires three items in order to take place: fuel, oxidant and ignition temperature.

Oxidiser: chemical substance used for combustion (essentially oxygen) which is

required for it to take place.

Combustible: anything that can undergo combustion, in this case referring to

wood.

Creosote: chemical compound created by combustion. This compound is

sometimes deposited on the glass and shaft of the heating recovery unit.

Circuit breaker: Electromechanical device that protects a given electrical

appliance.

Energy Efficiency: capacity to generate large quantities of heat with the least

amount of energy possible, causing the least environmental impact and reducing the energy budget.

CO Emissions: emission of carbon monoxide gas into the atmosphere.

CO emissions (13% of O2): carbon monoxide content corrected to 13% of O

Differential Switch: protects people and property against grounding failures,

preventing electric shocks and fires.

kcal (Kilocalorie): multiple unit of measurement of calories. Equivalent to 1000

calories.

kW (Kilowatt): Unit of measurement equal to 1000 watts.

mm (millimetres): unit of measurement. mA (milliampere): unit of measurement of electric current.

Pa (Pascal): standard IS unit of pressure and tension. This unit is named after

Blaise Pascal, an eminent French mathematician, physicist and philosopher.

Net Heating Value: also known as specific combustion heat. It represents the

amount of heat released when a certain amount of fuel is completely burned. Net heating value is expressed in calories (or kilocalories) per unit of weight of fuel.

Rated power: Electrical power consumed from the energy source. Measured in

watts.

Rated net heating value: heating capacity, i.e. the heat energy the unit transfers

from energy present in the firewood – measured for a standard load of firewood over a given period of time.

Power output: a manufacturer's recommendation from tests on the equipment

with firewood loads within a reasonable operating range. This power output range will present different firewood consumptions per hour.

Plumb: vertically above the installation.

Performance: expressed as a percentage of “useful energy” that can be extracted

from a given system, taking into account the “total energy” of the fuel used.

Ignition temperature: temperature above which the fuel can enter into

combustion.

Thermoresistant: resistant to high temperatures and thermal shock.

Glass ceramics: highly resistant ceramic material produced through controlled

crystallisation of vitreous materials. Used widely in industry.

W(Watt): IS unit of power.
