3.4 - BOILER LOCATION INSIDE A BOILER HOUSE
Special attention shall be paid to local regulations and laws
about boiler houses and particularly to the obligation of
keeping minimum clearances and empty space around the
boiler. The installation shall be in compliance with all latest
regulations and laws about boiler houses, installations of
heating and hot-water systems, ventilation, chimneys capable
of evacuating the flue gases of condensing boilers and any
other applicable requirement.
When selecting the position for the installation of the
boiler it has to be considered that, for the cleaning and
washing operations of the boiler body, one of the boiler
sides must be accessible for the removal of a special
baffle placed under the aluminum sections.
This baffle can be fixed, indifferently, from the R.H or L.H.
side of the condensate tray. If no modification has been
made, the boiler must have its R.H. side accessible, with the
chimney connection fitted on the R.H or L.H. side. But, if the
smoke chamber terminal, with the flue socket, is left to the
R.H. side and if, from this same side, the baffle has to be removed, then the flue socket must have the possibility to be
also removed.
If it is preferred, the baffle can be moved in order to have its
fixation screw on the opposite side, regardless the position
of the smoke chamber terminal.

3.5 - INSTALLATION ON EXISTING HEATING SYSTEMS
When the appliance is installed on existing systems, ensure
yourself that:
When a Modulex boiler is installed onto an existing
heating system:
- The flue outlet pipe is suitable for condensing boilers, for
the temperature of the products of combustion, calculated
and manufactured according to the regulations in force. It
must be installed as much as possible in a straight line,
tested for soundness, insulated and must not have any
occlusions or restrictions.
- The flue outlet pipe has a connection for the discharge of
condensate.
- The boiler room has a suitable outlet for the discharge of
condensate produce by the boiler.
- The electrical system has been fitted in compliance to the
specific norms and the work has been carried out by a
competent person.
- The circulation pump’s output, the head and flow direction
are suitable.
- The gas feeding supply pipe and the eventual tank are
constructed according to the regulations in force.
- The expansion vessels assure the total absorption of the
dilatation of the fluid contained in the system.
- The system has been cleaned of impurities and lime scale.
In case the replacement of an existing boiler in
an old system can be programmed, it
is
necessary to thoroughly clean out the system
with a basic solution. The system must be
cleaned 4 weeks before the substitution, with
the system firing at a temperature of 35°C to
40°C.
WARNING!
If it is noticed that a new Modulex has replaced, in an old
system the existing boiler without having first performed what
said in the previous paragraph, Do not wash now the system,
as residual products, present in the circuit, could lead to system gathering in the boiler body, causing damage. UNICAL
recommends contacting a specialised company for water treatment.
Instead, if installing a Modulex boiler in a new system, it is
still recommended to thoroughly clean out the system with an
adequate product and fit a Y filter with two isolating valves
onthe boiler’s return pipe, so that, when necessary, it can be
cleaned. This filter will protect the boiler from the dirt coming
from the heating system.
When sizing pumps, it is necessary to take into consideration
the pressure losses which occurin the primary circuit.
3.6 - BOILER CONNECTION
The boiler Modulex leaves the factory predisposed for the
hydraulic and gas connection on the back side of the boiler.
The smoke outlet is placed on the back side of the boiler
for MODULEX 440;
it's placed on the R.H. side of the boiler for MODULEX 550 660 - 770 - 900.
For the smoke chamber fixing, use the screws and gaskets
included into the instruction bag, and a cross screwdriver at
least 300 mm of length.
19
Page 20
Instructions for the installer
3.7 - GAS CONNECTION
The gas supply pipe must be connected to the boiler via the
respective pipe connection
9-11.
The gas supply pipe must have a section which is identical or
greater then the one used on the boiler and must assure a
correct gas pressure.
It is however important to comply with the specific norms and
requirements in force, foreseeing on-off valves, gas filter,
anti-vibrating joint etc.
Before commissioning an internal gas distribution system
and therefore before connecting it to the gas meter, the
complete installation must be tested for gas soundness.
If any part of the system is concealed from view the gas
soundness test must be carried out before covering the pipes.
DANGER!
The gas connection must be carried out by a
registered engineer who will have to respect
and comply to the regulations in force and to
the requirements indicated by the local gas
supplier. An incorrect installation could
cause injury to persons, animals or damage
to property. The manufacturer shall not be
held liable for any injury and/or damage.
R 2‘‘ - 3” as indicated on page 8-
Before installing the boiler it is recommended
to thoroughly clean all the supply piping in order
to remove any eventual residual grime which
could compromise the boilers correct
functioning.
If you smell gas:
a. Do not turn on or off electrical switches, use
the telephone or any other object which can
provoke sparks;
b. Open all doors and windows in order to
allow fresh air to enter and purify the room;
c. Close all gas cocks
d. Contact a service engineer, qualified
installer or the gas supply company.
As a safety measure against gas leaks, Unical
recommends installing a surveillance and
protective system made up of a gas leakage
detector combined with an on-off selenoid valve
on the gas supply line.

3.8 - FLOW AND RETURN PIPE CONNEC-
TIONS
The CH flow and return circuits have to be connected to the
boiler via the respective connections
indicated on page 9-11.
When determining the size of the CH circuit pipes it is
essential to bear in mind the pressure losses induced by any
of the system’s components and by the configuration of the
same system.
The route of the piping has to be conceived taking all the
necessary precautions in order to avoid air locks and to
facilitate the continuous purging of the system.
WARNING!
Before installing the boiler we recommend
that the system is flushed out with a suitable
product in compliance to the norm UNI-CTI
8065, in order to eliminate any metallic
tooling or welding residues, oil and grime
which could reach the boiler and affect the
proper running of the boiler.

Instructions for the installer
Non-observance of these instructions could
cause injury to persons, animals or damage
to property. The manufacturer shall not be
held liable for any such injury and/or damage.
Ensure yourself that the system’s piping is not
used as the earth clamps for the electrical or
telephonic system. They are absolutely
unsuitable for this use. In a short time this could
cause serious damage to the piping, boiler
and radiators.

3.9 -DETERMINATION OF PRIMARY BOILER PUMP OR BOILER SYSTEM PUMP
The boiler pump must have a delivery head which can ensure
the water flow rate as shown in the diagram “Water pressure
losses”.
The size of the pumps must be determined
by installers or technical engineers
according to boiler data and system design.
The following table gives an indication of the pump’s flow rate
in function of the Δt of the primary circuit if the installation has
a mixing header.
The water side resistance curve of the boiler
is shown in the following diagram.
The pump is not an integral part of the boiler.
It is recommended to choose a pump with
the rate and delivery head at about 2/3 of its
characteristic heating curve.

From the graph of the boiler’s pressure losses, it can be determined that the pump must be able
to guarantee a delivery head of at least 1,7 m/H2O.
NOTE: The use of a mixing header fitted between the boiler circuit and the system circuit is
always advisable. It becomes INDISPENSABLE if the system requires flow rates superior to the
maximum permitted boiler flow rates, which is to say lower than 15K.

Should the flow temperature (measured at global flow temperature NTC) decrease under 7°C, the system pump is set up. Shoul
temperature decrease to under 3°C, all modules will start at min.
output until the return temperature reaches 10°C.
Such protection device is exclusively for the boiler. For the protection of the system, a second freeze protection thermostat is
necessary to switch on the heating system pump.
To protect the C.H. system from freezing when boiler is not in
operation during cold season, it is necessary to add to the C.H.
system water an anti freezing solution.
NB: The antifreezing solution must be compatible with the

3.17 - CONDENSATE DRAIN
Instructions for the installer
Avoid the condensate stagnation inside the combustion
products evacuation system, (for this reason the evacuation
duct must have an inclination toward the drain of at least 30
mm/m (3/8 in. / ft) except the liquid column, inside the
condensate siphon, which needs to be filled with water after
installation: its minimum height, when all the fans are in operation, must be at least 25 mm (1 in.).
In order to avoid ice formation while the boiler is operating,
which can cause the stop of the boiler, the whole condensate
evacuation system has to be well insulated. It is forbidden to
evacuate the condensate through a gutter: risk of ice forming
and corrosion.
The condensate, before being evacuated to the sewer, has to
be neutralized, neutralisation which can be obtained by
mixing the drain water coming from washing maschines,
dish washing maschines, etc., which normally have a basic pH.
The connection to the sewer will be through a visible drain.
Given the high acidity degree (pH 3 to 5) only plastic material can be used for the condensate evacuation pipes.
Moreover it must be dimensioned and constructed so as
to allow the correct out-flow of drains, preventing any bottleneck and any leakage.
BACK SIDE
The outlet of the condensate drain pipe will be on the same
side of the smoke chamber, passing below the smoke chamber.
Before commissioning the boiler fill the condensate siphon with water, from the dedicated filling-up plug.

3.18 - WATER TREATMENT
The chemical-physical characteristics of the filling water and
reinstatement water in heating systems are of fundamental
importance for guaranteeing correct and safe boiler operation.
Before filling the CH circuit with water, it is necessary to analyse
the water and decide for a proper treatment.
The purpose of this treatment is finalized to eliminate or
substantially reduce the following problems:
The chemical treatment of the network water enables the
prevention of these problems and guarantees safe boiler
operation and economical advantages, in terms of
maintenance and global thermal efficiency.
The chemical analysis of the water enables us to obtain a lot
of information on the system’s condition and state of “health”.
It is essential to avoid any problems with the boiler.
The pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
The pH scale has a range of 0-14, where 7 is neutral.
Values inferior to 7 indicate acidity, values above 7 indicate
alkalinity.
We recommend that the heating system’s water pH value
is systematically controlled (minimum twice a year). In order
to do this, it is not necessary to run a chemical analysis in
a laboratory, but it is sufficient to use a simple analytical
‘kit’ contained in portable cases, easily found on sale.
Therefore, prior to filling the heating system with water it will
be necessary to fit the devices indicated in the figure below.
THE CONNECTION MUST BE FITTED ON THE
PRIMARY CIRCUIT’S RETURN PIPE
DOWNSTREAM OF THE CIRCULATING PUMP
All the necessary precautions must be taken in order to avoid
the formation and localization of oxygen in the system’s water.
For this reason, the plastic pipes used in underfloor heating
systems must be impermeable to oxygen.
If any antifreeze solutions are used ensure yourself that they
are compatible with aluminium and with any other components
and materials fitted on the system.
The ideal pH value for water in heating systems fitted with
aluminium boilers is between 6,5 and 8, with a hardness of
15°F.
In heating systems where the water has a value outside this
range, this considerably accelerates the destruction of the
protective oxidized layer which naturally develops inside the
aluminium bodies: if the pH is below 6, acidity is present, if it is
above 8, the water is alkaline or it is caused by an alkaline
treatment (for example phosphate or glycol used as an
antifreeze) or in several cases it is due to the natural formation
of alkaline in the system.
Vice versa, if the pH value is between 6,5 and 8, the aluminium
surfaces of the boiler body are passivated and protected from
further corrosive attacks.
To minimize corrosion it is essential to use a scale inhibitor,
however in order for this to function correctly, the metallic
surfaces have to be clean.
The best corrosion inhibitors on sale also contain a
protective system for aluminium which acts by stabilizing
the water’s pH value, preventing unforeseen variations.
WARNING!
ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE BOILER, DUE
TO THE FORMATION OF LIME SCALE OR DUE
TO CORROSIVE WATER WILL INVALIDATE THE
APPLIANCE WARRANTY.

3.20 - BOILER OPERATION
The SuperModulex is made of inter-linked modules; each
module is made of:
- Combustion Chamber
- Burner
- Fan
- Gas valve
- Local NTC ((Negative Temperature Coefficient) sensor
(checks the flow temperature of each aluminium section)
- Scheda di controllo BMM (Burner Modular Manager)
- BMM (Burner Modular Manager) control PCB.
- High Limit thermostat
- Ignition electrode
- Ionization electrode
- Air pressure switch
Max. output of a module is 108 kW. So, a SuperModulex 440
(Nom. Input 432 kW) consists of 4 modules.
Each module has its own temperature sensor NTC - Negative
Temperature Coefficient - called local NTC, which locally
checks the flow temperature of each aluminium section.
Instructions for the installer
The flow temperature at the boiler outlet and the return
temperature at the boiler inlet are controlled by global NTC
temperature sensors.
In case of more heat request by heating or DHW systems, the
boiler starts up and water will be heated by the aluminium
boiler body
Then the boiler pump will send the water to the mixing bottle
and from here to the radiators, according to the heating
system chosen.
The combustion air is supplied by fans which take it from the
boiler room. The combustion air is then pushed into the premixing chamber through a diaphragm. Beyond the diaphragm,
the air mixes with gas and such mixture, passing through the
non-return valve, is sent to the burner. Then, on leaving the
burner surface, the air/gas mixture ignites electrically and the
resulting combustion gases, after being transported (and
cooled) through finned sections, enter the condensate
collecting manifold and then are evacuated through the
chimney.

When there is a heat request from the E8 controller or from a
BCM (Boiler Cascade Manager), the E8 or BCM calculates
the necessary output according to the difference between the
set temperature (or the temperature calculated by the outer
compensator) and the global flow temperature. The number
of thermal elements (each thermal element represents a maximum input of 110 kW) x 100% determines the maximum
input expressed in %.
When the input has been determined, the boiler pump (not
supplied by Unical) is set up and the fan of one thermal element is set in motion at starting speed. The gas valve opens
and ignition is to occur within 5 sec. When the ionisation electrode detects the flame, the thermal element starts operating.
Subsequently other thermal elements are likely to start in the
same way. One of the operation principles for this boiler is
letting as many burners as possible operate simultaneously
at minimum load to reach the maximum efficiency.
For example, if a 4 thermal element boiler is requested to
operate at its max input, this shall be 400% i.e. :
108 kW x 4 thermal elements = 432 kW = 400%.
If it is requested to operate at 200% input, thanks to the input
sharing system on the highest number of thermal elements,
each thermal element will operate at 50% output i.e. :
kW
4 thermal elements of 108 kW each working
at 50% of the output give = 216 kW = (200%),
i.e. 54 kW / thermal element

200% : 4 thermal elements = 50%
equal to a total of 216 kW, that is 54 kW for each thermal
element.
Such principle provides clearly efficiencies much higher than
those obtained in traditional groups of small boilers installed
in cascade.
When the input shared on each thermal element is less than
22 kW, one thermal element after the other is automatically
excluded and the remaining input is shared on thermal
elements having the smallest number of operation hours (by
the automatic operation-time calculating system).
Modulation, i.e. input reduction, is based on the difference
between the set temperature (or the temperature calculated
by the outer compensator) and the global flow temperature.
When no ignition occurs, the ignition device repeats two more
times the ignition sequence and then puts to lock out position
the thermal element concerned.
1 Thermal element (module) = 108 kW = 100%
4 Thermal elem. = 108 kW x 4 = 432 kW = 400%
400% : 332kW = 200% : X
X = (432x200) : 400 = 216 kW input shared on 4

3.21 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Regulations in force
The gas and water feeding pipes and the CH system pipes
cannot be used as ground plates.
Ensure that the above safety electrical requirements subsist;
in case of doubt, ask for a professionally qualified technician
to check the appliance’s electrical system.
UNICAL refuses responsibility for any damages arising from
failure to earth the boiler correctly.
Instructions for the installer
Mains electrical supply connection 230V
The boiler is provided complete with a mains supply cable
1,5 m long and with a cross section area of 3x0,75 mm2.
The electric connections of the boiler are shown in the section
named “WIRING DIAGRAMS” (paragraph 3.19 page 30)
A mains supply of 230 V – 50 Hz is required. The wiring to the
boiler must be in accordance with the current CEI regulations.
It is necessary that a qualified technician verifies that the
electrical system is adequate to the appliance’s maximum
absorbed power, indicated on the data plate, verifying in
particular that the section of the system’s cables is suitable
to the appliance’s maximum absorbed power.
For the appliance’s general electrical supply the use of
adaptors, multiple sockets and/or extension cords is strictly
forbidden.
The use of any power supplied equipment implies the
observance of several fundamental rules, such as:
-Do not touch the appliance with any wet part of your body
and/or barefooted;
-Do not pull the supply cables
-Do not expose the boiler to sunlight, rain, etc., unless it is
explicitly foreseen;
-Do not permit children or inexpert people to use the
appliance.
WARNING!
We remind you that upstream of the electrical
connection, it will be necessary to foresee a
service relay (NOT SUPPLIED) which, when
the electrical safety devices (ISPESL)
intervene, shuts down the electrical supply
to the on-off fuel valve fitted on the gas supply
circuit, but not to the boiler so as to
guarantee the running of the pump and permit
the boiler to cool down.
DANGER!
The electrical connections must be carried
out only by a qualified engineer.
Before carrying out the connections or any
other operation on the electrical parts,
always switch off and disconnect the
electricity supply and ensure yourself that it
cannot be accidentally turned on.
It is necessary to fit a double pole switch on the electrical
supply line, having a 3 mm contact separation in both poles,
in an easy accessible position in order to make quick and
safe the servicing operations.
The boiler electrical supply (230 V – 50 Hz – single phase) is
to be done directly on the three pole plug supplied with the
boiler.
A
It is necessary to fit a double pole switch on the supply line in
an easy accessible position in order to make quick and safe
the service operations.
WARNING!
230 V cables shall be separated from 24 V
ones, using the two plastic conduits supplied
within the boiler casing L.H. side panel.

3.26 - CASCADE MANAGER (BCM)
Application:
The BCM completes the range of functions offered by the
Modulex boilers:
- ON/OFF alarm control
- Control of a modulating header pump with the aim of
significantly increasing efficiency at low heating loads.
- Possibility of integrating the Modulex boilers in PLC
controlled boiler plants
- Thanks to LonWorks/Modbus protocol converters been
readily available also opens the road to installing
Modulex boilers in the most advanced Building
Automation Systems.
Features:
The BCM can be connected to the automation system of
a boiler plant via one of its interfaces:
- eBUS: for connection to the series of E8 heating
controllers or to an additional BCM
- Modbus: application in PLC controlled boiler plants
The communication protocols enable complete system
management:
- Control of heating request: temperature set point and
modulation level
- Monitoring of boiler operation and temperature status
- Alarm control
- Functional parameters setting
Special functions
Emergency: it avoids system shutdown caused by an
interruption in communication with the boiler plant’s
automation system:
- Input for “Constant setpoint” request: 55°C, maximum
output 50%
- Alarm reset input
- Alarm relay signal
Monitor:
a BCM connected to a group of heating generators
managed by a E8 heating controller, automatically selects
the “monitor” mode.
In this condition the following services are supplied:
- Acquisition of all the operating data and diagnostics via
the Modbus interface.
- Control of the modulating pump
- Control of the Alarm relays and control of the header
pump
- If the E8 malfunctions, the BCM automatically resets
normal boiler operation control and can enable the
emergency function previously described.
Management of the header pump:
- Relay command for running a pump at fixed rate
- 0÷10 analogical output for control of a modulating pump

the number of the pump’s revolutions decreases and
subsequently the hourly rate, maintaining the thermal head
practically constant. Thus obtaining a higher efficiency in
condensing mode and reducing energy costs.
The 0÷10 Volt modulation signal is preset to:
-3 for minimum speed
-10 Volt for maximum speed
These values can be changed according
to the type of pump fitted. For further
information on the 0÷10 Volt signal, please
also refer to the pump’s manual.

3.27 - FILLING THE SYSTEM
Instructions for the installer
Warning!
Do not mix the CH system’s water with antifreeze or anti-corrosion solutions using wrong
concentrations! It could cause damage to the
washers and could provoke noise during
normal boiler operation.
UNICAL refuses all liability for injury to persons,
animals or damage to property deriving from
not having respected the above mentioned
recommendations.
For filling-up the system a filling tap has to be foreseen on
the system return pipe.
The filling-up can also be made through the draining tap on
the boiler return manifold.
Never use such a tap to drain the system, since the system dirt
could gather in the boiler and compromise its operation. The
EXAMPLE OF FILLING-UP SYSTEM MANIFOLD
system itself shall be equipped with its own draining tap, whose
size depends on the system capacity. The application of a
filter on the return pipe to the boiler is advisable.

SERVICING
SCHEDULE
To ensure the continued safe and efficient
operation of the boiler it is highly
recommended that it is checked at regular
intervals and serviced when necessary , and
that only original spare parts are used.
The law in force states that the boiler must
be serviced annually .
If the boiler is not checked and serviced when
necessary it could cause material and
personal damages.
For this reason UNICAL recommends that a servicing contract should be made with a heating installer.
The regular inspection is useful to determine the actual state
of an appliance and to compare it with an optimum state. This
is achieved through measurement, control and observation.
The service is necessary to eliminate eventual deviations of
the actual state from the optimum state. This is normally done
through the cleaning, the parameters setting and the eventual replacement of single components subject to mechanical
wear.
The frequency of servicing will be determined by the service
engineer and will depend on appliance’s state of condition.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICING
To ensure a long life to all your boiler
components and in order not to alter the
conditions of the approved product only
original UNICAL spare parts must be used.
After having carried out all the necessary maintenance, always
follow these steps:
•Switch OFF the main switch
•Isolate the boiler from mains via a device having, at least,
a 3 mm in the switch contacts (e.g.: safety devices or power
switches) and make sure it cannot be switched ON accidentally.
•Switch off the gas gate valve upstream the boiler.
-If necessary , and in function of the type of work to be carried
out, close any on-off valves fitted on the CH flow and return
pipes, as well as the cold inlet valve.
-Remove the appliance’s front panel.
After maintenance works have been finished, follow the next
steps:
-Open the CH flow and return valves as well as the cold
inlet valve (if previously closed),
-Purge and, if necessary, proceed with restoring the heating
system’s pressure until a pressure of 0,8/1 bar is reached.
-Open the on-off gas valve.
-Reconnect the appliance to the electrical supply and
switch on the mains electrical supply.
-Test for gas soundness, on the gas side and on the water
side.
-Replace the appliance’s front panel.

Servicing schedule
We recommend that periodical service is made
by qualified technical personnel according to
the frequency stated by national rules in force.
As much as the dust present in the air will be sucked inside
the combustion chamber, the smoke side resistance will
increase, which, finally, will result in a reduced heat input
(and consequently a reduced output).Before cleaning the boiler
body sections, check the boiler input and the CO
percentage
2
(see 3.28).
Note! A reduction of the input can be caused
by the obstruction of the evacuation duct or of
the air intake. Check, first of all, that this is not
the reason.
If the actual input (with the correct CO2) is within
5% of the value shown in the chapter 3.24, the
boiler does not need to be cleaned.The
operation then, can be limited to the cleaning
of the siphon.

2nd phase – Cleaning
• Remove from their seat the sealing gaskets and the burners and blow them with compressed air from the convex
side to the dished side.
The burner sealing gaskets, must be replaced at each cleaning of the burner.
• Wash, with a water jet, the combustion chamber: pay attention to not to wet the electrical wiring. During this operation
ascertain that the condensate evacuation pipe is always
free, so that the water cannot come out from the tray.
• Blow with compressed air in the combustion chamber, in
between the sections, so that all dirty parts are removed
from the aluminum protrusions.
• Once the cast aluminum sections have been washed, make
sure the condensate evacuation siphon is free: if necessary clean it.
• Inspect the flue duct and the smoke chamber.
3rd phase – Reassembly
• Replace the burner sealing gaskets
• Reassemble all the components previously removed by
following the reverse order.
• Before starting the boiler ascertain that the condensate siphon is filled with water.
• Before opening the gas cock on the burner manifold make
sure the coupling is well tight. To do this, open the gas cock
and check the soundness of the coupling using a soap
solution.
• As soon as a burner is put into operation check immediately the soundness between the gas valve and the relevant
premixing chamber.
• Make the combustion analysis and check the combustion
