SECTION 1DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE
1.1PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS
● A fully integrated, electronic control board fea-
turing mode selection switch, full sequenceelectronic ignition, temperature control system,
and appliance status indicator.
● A BI-thermal gas to water heat exchanger.
● A multi-functional gas valve.
● Two-stage, primary water pressure switch.
Integral pump, expansion vessel, pressure relief valve, pressure gauge, domestic water flow
switch, fan, differential air pressure switch, and
time clock.
MODES OF OPERATION
1.2CENTRAL HEATING MODE
When there is a request for central heating via the
time-clock and/or any external controls, the pump
and fan are started, the fan proves the differential
air pressure switch which in-turn, allows an ignition
sequence to begin.
Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry to
ensure flame stability at the burner. Once successful ignition has been achieved the appliance
operates al 75% of maximum for a fifteen-minute
period, and thereafter the appliance operates on
maximum output until the desired temperature
setting is reached.

1.3HOT WATER MODE
1.4SAFETY DEVICES

5
Once the desired temperature is reached, the
burner will modulate to maintain that temperature, however should the temperature within the
appliance continue to rise, the burner will shut
down and the boiler will perform a three-minute
anti-cycle (timer delay).
When there is a demand for domestic hot water
the domestic hot water flow switch is proved by
the flow of water through the appliance, this
allows the fan to run, the fan proves the differential air pressure switch which in-turn, allows an
ignition sequence to begin.
Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry to
ensure flame stability at the burner. Once
successful ignition has been achieved the appliance will modulate burner gas pressure to maintain the desired water temperature, should the
temperature of the domestic hot water exceed
the temperature setting by 5 ºC the burner will
shut down until the water temperature drops
below the required setting.
In both central heating and domestic hot water
modes, safe operation is ensured by.
● A water pressure switch that monitors the sys-
tem pressure and will deactivate the pump and
prevent burner ignition should the pressure or
primary flow rate fall below the rated tolerance.
● Differential air pressure switch that checks the
correct operation of the fan and flue thereby
preventing or interrupting burner operation.
● A high limit thermostat that overrides the con-
trol circuit to prevent or interrupt burner ignition.
● A safety valve which releases excess pressure
from the primary circuit.

The appliance has built-in frost protection that
allows the pump to operate if the appliance temperature drops to 7 ºC, should the temperature
continue to drop the burner will light until the
primary circuit temperature exceeds 30 ºC.

3.6.1PIPEWORK
It is recommended that copper tubing to BS 2871
Part 1 is used in conjunction with soldered capillary
joints.
Where possible pipes should have a gradient to
ensure air is carried naturally to air release points
and that water flows naturally to drain cocks.
Except where providing useful heat, pipes should
be insulated to avoid heat loss and in particular to
avoid the possibility of freezing. Particular attention
should be paid to pipes passing through ventilated
areas such as under floors, loft space, and void
areas.
3.6.2AUTOMATIC BY-PASS
The appliance has a built-in automatic by-pass,
consequently there is no requirement for an
external by-pass, however the design of the
system should be such that it prevents boiler
‘cycling’.
3.6.7LOW PRESSURE SEALED SYSTEM
An alternative method of filling the system would
be from an independent make-up vessel or tank
mounted in a position at least 1 metre above the

remove any thermostatic valve heads. Adjust
radiator return valves and any branch circuit
return valves until the individual return
temperatures are correct and are approximately
equal.
stopcock should be used to limit the available
flow rate at the outlet. Slowly turn the adjustable
stopcock clockwise until a satisfactory
temperature is obtained.
Please note that it’s prudent to set the domestic
hot water outlet temperature at the lowest
acceptable temperature, as higher temperatures
can be realised by reducing the flow rate at the
individual hot water outlets.

SECTION 7 CHECKS, ADJUSTMENTS AND FAULT FINDING
7.1CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERATION
When carrying out any repairs or servicing to the
appliance the relevant commissioning procedure
must be undertaken to ensure the continued safe
operation of the appliance. Particular attention
should be made to ensure gas soundness, water
soundness, and the electrical integrity of the
appliance.
7.2AT REST MODE
When the appliance is at rest, (no demand for
heat or water) the green LED will be illuminated
to indicate there are no faults, if the appliance has
been inactive for aproximately 24 hours, it will
energise the pump for a short period to ensure
the pump does not seize due to inactivity. The
appliance also has built-in frost protection, which
will operate even if the mode selector switch is in
the ‘off’ position.
7.3HOT WATER MODE
Opening a hot water outlet and enabling a flow
rate of 2 litres or more, causes the domestic water
flow switch to activate. Activation of the domestic
hot water flow switch allows the fan to run. When
the fan is running it proves (switches) the air
pressure switch. The air pressure switch delivers
current to the PCB and enables an ignition sequence to begin. The ignition sequence begins
with the energising of the gas valve and a simultaneous sparking at the spark/sense electrode.
This will continue for aproximately 10 seconds or
until successful ignition has been established. (If
no ignition has been established within the ten
seconds, the ignition attempt will be terminated
and the appliance will go to lockout). When ignition
has been established, the appliance will quickly
achieve and maintain the desired hot water temperature (see 5.13). The appliance monitors the
setting of the hot water potentiometer against the
temperature of the secondary thermistor, and
increases or decreases current to the modulating
coil, this in turn adjusts the burner pressure, thus
enabling the temperature to be maintained to
within a few degrees. When the temperature of
the secondary thermistor exceeds the setting of
the hot water potentiometer, ignition will be terminated until the temperature drops.
NOTE
The primary thermistor will overide the secondary
thermistor if the temperature of the primary
thermistor exceeds 80 ºC.
When the mode selector switch is set to heating
and hot water, the pump will over-run for 30
seconds after any demand for heating or water
has been satisfied.
When the mode selector switch is set to hot water
only, the fan will over-run for one minute if the
temperature of the primary thermistor exceeds
55 ºC.
7.4HEATING MODE
With all controls calling for heat, the pump and fan
will run. When the fan runs it proves the air
pressure switch. The air pressure switch delivers
current to the PCB and enables an ignition
sequence to begin. The ignition sequence begins
with the energising of the gas valve and a
simultaneous sparking at the spark/sense
electrode. This will continue for approximately 10
seconds or until successful ignition has been
established. (If no ignition has been established
within the ten seconds, the ignition attempt will be
terminated and the appliance will go to lockout).
The appliance monitors the setting of the heating
potentiometer against the temperature of the
primary thermistor, and increases or decreases
current to the modulating coil, this in turn adjusts
the burner pressure, thus enabling the
temperature to be maintained to within a few
degrees (see section 5.10). When the temperature
of the primary thermistor exceeds the setting of
the heating potentiometer, ignition will be
terminated and the appliance will anti-cycle for
three minutes (timer delay). When a new ignition
sequence begins the output of the appliance is
set at minimum for two minutes.
NOTE
Any demand for hot water has the priority.
If there is a demand for hot water whilst the
appliance is anti-cycling, the timing will be cancelled once the demand for hot water has been
satisfied.
7.5FROST PROTECTION MODE
The built-in frost protection system will operate
the appliance in the OFF, HOT WATER ONLY
MODE, AND HEATING AND HOT WATER
MODE. Should the temperature of the appliance
fall to 7 ºC. the pump will run for fifteen minutes, this
will be repeated every two hours. Should the
temperature rise above 10 ºC. the fifteen minutes
will be cancelled. Should the temperature fall below
5 ºC. the boiler will fire at minimum output until the
temperature of the appliance exceeds 30 ºC.
NOTE
If the appliance is at lockout the frost protection
mode is disabled.
Although the frost protection mode is active even
when the appliance is switched off. The electrical
supply to the appliance must be maintained for it
to function.
Any demand for hot water or heating will reset
any frost protection settings.
7.6BURNER PRESSURE SETTINGS
Burner pressure settings should be checked and/
or adjusted whenever the appliance is being
serviced, commissioned, or the gas valve/control
PCB have been replaced.
The procedure for setting or adjusting must be
carried out in the following order:

supply and using a suitable multimeter, carry out
the following voltage tests. Connect test leads
between the Live & Neutral connections at the
appliance terminal strip (fig.14); the meter should
read aproximately 230V ac. If so proceed to next
stage. If not, see section 7.11.4.
Connect test leads between the Neutral & Earth
connections at the appliance terminal strip (fig.14);
the meter should read aproximately 0 – 15Vac. If
so polarity is correct. If not, see section 7.11.4
7.11.4 REVERSED POLARITY OR SUPPLY FAULT
Repeat the above tests at the appliance isolator,
if testing reveals correct polarity and/or supply at
the isolator, re-check wiring and connections
between the isolator and the appliance.
If tests on the isolator also reveal reversed polarity
or a supply fault, consult the local electricity
supplier for advice.
7.11.5 RESISTANCE TO EARTH CHECK
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply,
and using a suitable multi-meter carry out a
resistance test. Connect test leads between the
Live & Earth connections at the appliance terminal
strip (fig.14). If the meter reads other than infinity
there is a fault which must be isolated, carry out
a detailed continuity check to identify the location
of the fault.
IMPORTANT
These series of checks must be carried out
before attempting any fault finding procedures on
the appliance. On completion of any task which
required the disconnection and re-connection of
any electrical wiring or component, these checks
must be repeated.
7.11.6 FUSES
The appliance is equipped with spare fuses.
These fuses are located on the cover of the main
PCB. If a fuse has blown it is usually indicative of
an external wiring fault or a faulty component
such as the pump, fan, valve actuator, etc. Under
no circumstances should a blown fuse be replaced
with one of a higher rating.
7.12FAULT FINDING
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY FAULT
DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIR THE FOLLOWING
PROCEDURE SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT:
● Carry out the relevant electrical checks as
detailed in section 7.11
● Disconnect any external wiring from the room
thermostat connections of the appliance
terminal strip and replace with a solid link wire.
● Ensure the appliance is protected – externally
– by a 3 amp fuse.

10.3GAS SUPPLY
The gas supply must be connected to the appliance
by a competent L.P.G. installer and must be of
sufficient size to supply the appliance at its maximum output. An existing supply must be checked to
ensure that it is of adequate size to deal with the
maximum rated input of this and any other appliances
that it serves.
10.4GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
The entire installation including the meter, must be
purged and checked for gas soundness.
10.5BURNER PRESSURES
Burner pressure settings should be checked and/or
adjusted whenever the appliance is being serviced,
commissioned, or the appliance gas type has
changed.
NOTE
Ensure the jumper tag has been fitted to the control
PCB (JP3).
The procedure for setting or adjusting must be
carried out in the following order:
● set the maximum DHW gas pressure.
● set the minimum DHW gas pressure.
● set the maximum heating gas pressure.
● set the minimum heating gas pressure.
10.5.1 SETTING THE MAXIMUM DHW GAS PRESSURE
(fig. 15 & 23)
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply,
remove the appliance casing as described in 4.7.1.
● Attach a manometer to the outlet test point of the
gas valve.
● Remove the protective cover from the gas valve
modulator, and disconnect the compensation tube
from the gas valve.
● Fully open a hot water outlet (preferably the bath tap).
● Rotate the DHW temperature selector to
maximum.
● Restore the electrical supply to the appliance.
● The appliance will now light and after 7-10 seconds,
the burner will be at full power.
● Observe the manometer, the reading should be
36.0 mbar.
● If the reading is correct, proceed to section 10.5.2
● If the reading is incorrect, turn the maximum
adjustment screw (fig. 15) clockwise to increase
the pressure, or anti-clockwise to reduce the
pressure.
● Proceed to section 10.5.2.
10.5.2 SETTING THE MINIMUM DHW GAS PRESSURE
(fig. 15 & 23)
● After carrying out section 10.5.1, disconnect one
of the black wires attached to the modulator coil.
● The burner will now operate at minimum power.
● Observe the manometer, the reading for Compact
24 should be 5.1 mbar, for Compact 28 the
reading should be 4.8 mbar.
● If the reading is correct, proceed to section 10.5.3.
● If the reading is incorrect, turn the minimum
adjustment screw (fig. 15) clockwise to increase
the pressure, or anti-clockwise to reduce the
pressure.
● Proceed to section 10.5.3.
10.5.3 SETTING THE MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
CENTRAL HEATING BURNER PRESSURES
● Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply.
● Close the hot water outlet.
● Re-attach the black wire to the modulator coil.
● Remove the PCB cover and temporarily attach a
jumper tag to JP2.

maximum, and ensure all radiators are turned on
with any thermostatic radiator valves set to
maximum.
● Restore the electrical supply and ensure there is
a call for heat via the appliance time clock and/or
room thermostat.
● The appliance should now be operating in the
heating mode at maximum output.
● Observe the manometer, the – maximum – reading
should be 36.0 mbar.
● Using a small screwdriver, gently rotate the P5
potentiometer if adjustment is necessary.
● To check and/or adjust the minimum heating gas
pressure, slowly rotate the heating temperature
selector until the burner pressure drops to minimum
(should be 6.5 mbar).
● Using a small screwdriver, gently rotate the P4
potentiometer if adjustment is necessary.
● Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply,
and remove the jumper tag from JP2.
● Remove the manometer from the gas valve and

SECTION 11REAR FLUE
11.1FITTING THE FLUE (see fig. 33)
There are two telescopic flue kits for use with the
Option boiler. The standard telescopic flue is
suitable for a wall thickness of 200 mm – 425
mm. The extended telescopic flue is suitable for
a wall thickness of 425 mm – 760 mm. Please
ensure the flue kit you have is suitable.
Carefully open the flue pack. Contained within
the pack are:
● The outer concentric flue pipe with terminal
● The inner concentric flue pipe
● Exterior trim
● Large rubber gasket
● Locking collar
● Securing screw
Carefully measure the thickness of the wall (dimension x - fig. 33). Take the outer concentric
flue pipe (A) and – using a twisting action – ease
it over the inner concentric flue pipe (B) (fig. 34).
Add 210 mm to ‘x’ to give you dimension ‘y’. Push
both the inner and outer concentric flue pipes
together until the total length of the flue assembly is equal to dimension ‘y’. Secure the flue
assembly in place by using the screw provided
(C).
T ake the large rubber gasket and secure it firmly
over the appliance flue spigot (D). Pass the assembly through the wall mounting bracket and
wall leaving 25 mm proud of the wall-mounting
bracket. Insert the flue restrictor ring into the
appliance flue outlet.
The appliance can now be mounted to the wall
bracket.
Pull the flue assembly firmly towards and over
the appliance flue spigot (fig. 34A) and – using a
twisting action – ensure the correct seal is made.
Insert the locking collar (E) into the groove on
the flue assembly as shown in fig. 34 a and rotate to conceal.
Seal the flue assembly to the inside wall using
cement or a suitable alternative that will provide
satisfactory weatherproofing. The exterior trim
can now be fitted.
