IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
Before installation, it is imperative that the following guidelines are heeded to ensure the trouble-free and efficient
operation of the boiler:
Ventilation and Siting
When siting the boiler in a confined space it is essential that adequate ventilation be provided. This will ensure that air is
allowed to circulate freely around the appliance keeping down the ambient temperatures. Refer to Ventilation requirements
(Page 6) for further details.
Ensure that the area surrounding the boiler is kept free of items which would impede the good ventilation of the appliance
(eg. towels, linen, etc).
When siting the boiler, take into account the potential requirement for future servicing. Enough space should be provided at
the front of the boiler to enable an engineer to adequately service and/or replace items such as the PCB or heat exchanger.
Space should also be available for the removal of the front casing panel. Please refer to siting information (Page 5) for
clearance dimensions.
Power Supply and Wiring
The power supply to the premises must meet the minimum requirements of the unit being installed, with special attention
paid to the supply current, cable size, and RCD recommendation. The supply voltage to the appliance must never drop below
207 Volts (see Page 4 for details).
When fitting external controls, such as a room thermostat or programmer, particular consideration should be given to the
wiring of these secondary items into the appliance. Please refer to the wiring instructions (Pages 10 to 17) for full details. Any
breakdown attended to by TR Engineering Ltd which is found to be caused by an incorrectly wired appliance will be
chargeable.
It is important that the pump is wired back to the boiler as shown in the wiring diagram as the pump operates on a switched
neutral.
System
Isolation valves must be fitted on both the flow and return pipe work of each boiler to be installed. These are useful as from
time to time the boiler may require draining of water, and the lengthy drawing-off process can be avoided by the astute
placement of these valves. Please refer to Page 8 for further details.
Ensure that any isolation valves are open before first use, and that the system is full of water.
The boiler can only be fitted in an upright position.
IMPORTANT:
General Information:
To keep your boiler running efficiently DO NOT OBSTRUCT OR COVER any ventilation air inlet on the appliance or the
compartment where it is installed.
To keep the casing clean, switch ‘OFF’ the boiler at the electrical supply, and simply wipe with a damp cloth. DO NOT use
abrasive cleaning fluids as this may damage the stove enamel paintwork.
Important
The electrical supply requirements:The 6 kW boilers meet the requirements of EN 61000-3.3.
The 9 kW and 11 kW boiler must be installed in premises having a service supply of > 100A per phase.
The 12 kW boiler must be installed in premises having a system impedance of not more than 0.1939 + 0.1939Ω.

INTRODUCTION
The Aztec Electric System Boiler is a wall mounted electric
central heating boiler designed with smaller properties in
mind. Fitted vertically only and requiring access to the
front and the right hand side of the boiler for servicing.
Once the boiler is switched on it is fully controlled by an
automatic management system which monitors the safety
and running functions of the boiler. Designed to work on a
fully pumped wet system only. The boiler produces hot
water by passing water over electric heating elements
housed in an insulated copper heat exchanger.
There are four boilers in the range with outputs ranging
from 6 kW (20.472 Btu/hr) to 12 kW (41.000 Btu/hr).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
Read these instructions before installing your boiler.
The heating system must comply with the latest editions of
British Standards 5449 and The Building Regulations, and
Electrical Wiring Regulations BS 7671.
1. Always switch OFF the electrical supply before
removing the cover.
2. If any part of the boiler is modified, then the
guarantee /warranty will be invalidated.
We recommend that you keep these instructions
in a place near your appliance for easy reference.
The Trianco Aztec System Wall Mounted Boiler has been designed to conform to
European Directive/Standards EN60335-1:2002 +A15:2011, EN60335-2-35:2002 inc Amd 1,
EN55014-1:2006 +A1:2009, EN55014-2:1997 +A2:2008.
THE PERSON(S) WHO INSTALLS THIS APPLIANCE, SERVICES OR CARRIES OUT ANY REMEDIAL WORK,
I.E. ELECTRICAL FAULT FINDING, MUST HAVE SUITABLE ENGINEERING QUALIFICATIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT SWITCH ON THIS APPLIANCE IF THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY THAT THE WATER MAY

USERS INSTRUCTIONS
The Trianco Aztec System boiler has been designed and
constructed to give years of trouble free service and
these instructions are provided to assist you in obtaining
the best performance with the least trouble and cost.
The boiler is fully automatic in operation and requires little
attention other than the setting of the thermostat and any
external system controls such as a room thermostat and
time switch.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT COVER OR BOX IN YOUR BOILER, ALLOW AIR TO
CIRCULATE FREELY AROUND THE APPLIANCE
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SWITCH ON THE
BOILER IF THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY THAT THE WATER
HEAT EXCHANGER IS FROZEN
Before firing the boiler, ensure the system is full of
water and any valves fitted systems are open.
Check that the time switch/programmer (if fitted) is ON
and the room thermostat is calling for heat.
Set the boiler to required temperature.
Switch on the electrical supply to the boiler and after a few
seconds the boiler’s green and amber should illuminate.
Set the time switch/programmer (if fitted) to the times and
programs required.
The boiler will now operate automatically, cutting in and
out according to heat demand.
TO TURN OFF THE BOILER
Switch off the boiler at the time switch/programmer (if
fitted)
If the boiler is to be switched off for any length of time it is
recommended that the mains supply to the boiler is
switched OFF.
BOILER CONTROL THERMOSTAT
The boiler control thermostat enables you to select the
temperature of the water leaving the boiler. It is
calibrated between Low and High.
Using a small screwdriver set the temperature by turning
the knob to the required setting. The thermostat switches
between low and high (50°C and 80°C), and is located at
the top right side of the boiler, behind the front casing.
BOILER INDICATOR LIGHT
There are three LED indicator lights on the boiler fascia
panel these are:
GREEN Power on to the boiler.
AMBER Illuminated - In run mode
Flashing - Temperature satisfied
RED Boiler fault
If the RED LED light flashes, this means a fault has
occurred. This would result in the boiler continuing to
operate at a reduced output.
If the RED LED is permanently on, this indicates a fault has
occurred. (See simple fault finding chart on page 4).
ROOM THERMOSTAT
The room thermostat should not be positioned near a
source of heat such as a radiator or exposed to the sun as
this will cause the central heating to switch off before the
room is up to temperature. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for best siting position for the thermostat.
FROST PROTECTION
If the boiler and central heating is shut down for many
hours during very cold weather, the water may be in
danger of freezing and, as such, it is advisable to protect
the installation with a frost thermostat.
Where the system is not protected, the boiler should be
left switched on and the room thermostat set to a low
setting
e.g. 7°C (45°F) to prevent the building temperature falling
too low.
If the system is shut down for a long period during very
cold weather, it is advisable to completely drain the
system. However, frequent draining should be avoided,
especially in hard water areas, as this could lead to scaling
of the boiler waterways.
WARNING: DO NOT SWITCH ON THIS APPLIANCE IF THERE
IS ANY POSSIBILITY THAT THE WATER HEAT EXCHANGER
IS FROZEN.
TIME SWITCH/PROGRAMMER
When choosing the operating times for your boiler, it is
useful to remember that central heating usually takes
between half an hour to an hour before it becomes
effective.
It is suggested that the Time Switch/ Programmer is set to
bring on the heating about an hour before heating is
required.
It is also worth noting that the heating system will usually
remain effective for up to half an hour after boiler
shutdown. The timer can therefore be switched off earlier
as an economy measure.
Cleaning Casings
Use hot soapy water applied with a damp cloth for the
enamel, then dry with a soft dry cloth.
Simple Maintenance
Ensure that the natural ventilation around the boiler is not
obstructed. If fitted in a compartment ensure all
ventilation grilles are clear.
7
Page 8
SIMPLE FAULT FINDING
If the boiler fails to start for no apparent reason make the
following make the following checks before calling your
service engineer.
Is the green LED light illuminated?
NO
Check for blown fuse or thrown power breaker. If
replacement fuse or power breaker fails again, call your
service engineer.
If the red LED is permanently illuminated, contact
your service engineer.
Flashing red LED indicates an open circuit. The boiler can
still be operated. Your service engineer should be
contacted.
Check to see if all external controls i.e. programmer or
room thermostat is calling for heat.
Resetting the boiler
If a fault has occurred and the LED is illuminated but the
pump continues to run, then switching the power off for
30 seconds and then on again should reset the light. This
may be caused by the ambient temperature around the
boiler being too high. Check to ensure that any boiler
ventilation is not obstructed. If the fault reoccurs, contact
your engineer.
IMPORTANT: Electrical safety checks should be carried
out by qualified electrical engineer.

IMPORTANT
ALL ELECTRICAL WORK MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL ENGINEER TO CURRENT IEE
WIRING REGULATIONS.
SITING THE BOILER
IMPORTANT: NOT TO BE INSTALLED IN A SHOWER
COMPARTMENT OR BATHROOM
The boiler is designed to be fitted in an upright position
only. Ensure adequate clearance is allowed for making
water connections as the boiler can only be fully serviced
from the front. The boiler must also be fitted in a dry well
ventilated position, which is not subject to adverse
temperature conditions. (See ventilation requirements).
Care should be taken when siting the appliance to make
sure adequate access is available for future servicing of the
appliance. Please note that the PCB and heat exchanger
assembly may require removal during such times.
When installed in a compartment with a hot water cylinder
(see Fig. 1), we recommended that the boiler is fitted in
position 1, if fitted in position 2 provision should be made
at the front of the boiler to enable the removal of the front
casing. In both cases, where any additional equipment like
a hot water cylinder or system controls are to be fitted
after the boiler has been installed, attention should be
given to ensure that they do not restrict access to the
boiler for servicing.
UNPACKING THE BOILER
Carefully open the boiler carton, remove boiler and place
in a safe place until required.
NOTE: ALWAYS STORE THE BOILER IN A DRY PLACE PRIOR
TO FITTING.
FIXING BOILER TO THE WALL
The boiler should be fitted to a suitable wall in an upright

Page 11
SEALED WATER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The installation must comply with the appropriate
requirements of the current issue of BS4814, BS5449,
BS6798 and BS7074 Part 1 and 2.
Safety Valve
A 3 bar safety valve is fitted within the unit. The drain must
be routed to the outside of the building. The drain must
not discharge above an entrance or a window or any public
access area, be clear of any electrical fittings and
positioned so that any discharge can be seen.
Expansion Vessel Capacity
A diaphragm type expansion vessel, conforming to the
current issue of BS4814. The expansion vessel must be
connected to the systems at a point close to the inlet side
of the circulating pump. The expansion vessel volume
depends on the total water system volume and the initial
system design pressure. For any system an accurate
calculation of vessel size is given in the current issue of
BS5449 and BS7074 Part 1.
The water content of the boiler is given in the technical
specification. Note a higher initial design pressure requires
a larger volume expansion vessel.
The charge pressure must not be less than the static head
of the system, which is the highest point of the system
above the expansion vessel.
Capacity of Expansion Vessel
Where design information is not complete the following
chart (page 11) can be used for selecting the size of the
vessel, it should be noted that the size given in the table
take account of fault conditions.
NOTE: Failure to ensure the correct vessel size could
result in premature failure of the expansion vessel which
in turn may adversely affect other components in the
system i.e. circulating pump and diverter valve.
System Temperature
The normal running temperature of the system is 75°C, if a
fault was to occur then the safety device would allow the
system temperature to rise to 100°C. It is recommended
that this figure be used in the calculations of vessel size.
Expansion Vessel Connection
The expansion vessel should be connected in the neutral
part of the system this being the return pipe work close to
the boiler, refer to sealed system pipe work layout
drawing.(Fig. 8)
Pressure Gauge
A 0 to 4 bar pressure gauge is fitted within the unit.
Inhibitor
If using an existing system take care to drain down the
entire system including the radiators then thoroughly
clean out before fitting the boiler. Attention is drawn to
the current issue of BS5449 and BS7593 on the use of
inhibitors in central heating systems.
Drain Tapping
A drain tapping is provided on the boiler. An additional
tapping must be provided at the lowest point of the
system, which will allow the entire system to be drained.
System Makeup
Water loss from the system should be replaced from a
makeup vessel connected to the system. This vessel should
be higher than the top of the system. Alternatively
provision can be made by pre-pressurisation of the system
via a temporary hose connection and through a double
check valve (non-return) and stop valve.
There must be no permanent connection to the mains
water valve supply even through a non return valve.

connections
The high limit thermostat is fitted to the front top of the
copper heat exchanger and secured in position with 2
retaining clamps. Check electrical connections on
thermostat and PCB to check thermostat has not failed
using a multi meter check continuity across terminals of
thermostat. To reset press red button in centre of
thermostat. Thermostat may have tripped due to one of
the following:
Faulty circulation pump.
Isolation valve on system closed.
Air trapped in system.
Out of calibration limit thermostat.
Temperature settings on PCB board incorrect.
No water in system.
Thermistor
The thermistor is fitted to the front top of the heat
exchanger and secured in position with a clamp, the other
end terminates with a white connector that plugs on to the
PCB Check the connections on the board to make sure it is
correctly fitted; also inspect the thermistor for any broken
wires.
Mains Inlet Wiring
If the mains supply to the boiler is wired incorrectly on the
inlet terminal block. Check polarity.
PCB Damage
Inspect the LED lights and the boiler temperature control
adjuster for any damage to connections to PCB controller.
Voltage Drop
If the voltage drops below 207 volts.
Red LED flashes indicates one of the following faults.
Poor electrical connection
Check the electrical connections to the elements and the
PCB controller, a poor controller would show up a fault.
Element Failure
To check elements for failure, disconnect each individual
element and check continuity through the element if there
is continuity between the two terminals the element is ok.
Check each element individually replacing the electrical
connectors after testing.
Element Cables
If there is a break in the element cable, this would show up
as a fault. Check all element cables and connections.
PCB Running Temperature
The PCB control unit has a built in temperature control
sensor which protects the PCB from overheating, if the
board was to overheat the sensor would detect the high
temperature and shut off the power to the board until the
board temperature has returned to normal running
temperature. The boiler will resume operation but the red
light will continue to flash to indicate a fault has occurred.
To reset the board the power must be turned off for 30
seconds then switched on again.
On the 9, 11 and 12 kW boilers a cooling fan is fitted to the
heat sink if this has failed, it would cause the PCB to
overheat. To differentiate between a temperature or
element problem, switch off the power supply to the boiler
allow the boiler to cool down then switch the power back
on, if the LED continues to flash then check elements and
connections.
Green LED
If the green LED is illuminated but the boiler is not
functioning, check that any external controls fitted are
calling for heat. If no external controls are fitted check that
link wire is in place on call terminal block (refer to wiring
diagram Fig 1).
Blown Fuse on board
If there is power to the boiler but no LED illuminated then
the fuse on the PCB may have blown. The fuse is located
above the PCB transformer (fuse type 20mm 630Ma anti
surge Bessman type S560)
The fuse may have blown due to one of the following:
When multiple boilers are fitted and a larger pump is used.
If the pump is wired directly into the PCB the fuse may
need upgrading. (see page 11)
If the call terminal is used to supply power to ancillary
controls.
Element Jumper Connections
Fitted on all models.

RCD UNIT TRIPS
Check that the RCD unit is correctly rated for boiler size. If
under size change. Inspect mains terminal block wiring for
short-circuiting. Check electrical elements for earth
continuity, if element is found to be faulty fit new element.
