2.1 BEFORE SWITCHING ON
Before switching the appliance on, please familiarise yourself with:
- how to isolate the appliance from the gas, water, and elec­tricity supplies;
- how to check and top-up – if necessary – the system water pressure;
- the time clock or programmer (if fitted);
- any external thermostats and their functions;
- the appliance controls.
2.2 APPLIANCE CONTROLS (see fig. 1)
The appliance controls are situated on the lower front of the appliance. The appliance controls include:
- pressure gauge;
- appliance mode selector;
- temperature selector;
- burner ON mode (green);
- fault indicator (red);
- servicing mode indicator (red+green)
- optional integral time clock/programmer (if fitted).
NOTE
The appliance frost protection is active in all the boiler modes. The temperature selectors can be used to vary the temperature of the water that circulates around your radiators and the water that flows from your hot water taps. The temperature range is adjustable between 40
o
C and 80oC for the central heating, and
between 37oC and 60oC for the hot water. When the status indicator (Green) is lit it indicates that the flame is present and the burner is ON. When the fault indicator (Red) is lit it indicates that the appliance has identified a possible fault and performed a safety lockout. The integral time clock (when fitted) can be used to switch the heating on and off at pre-determined intervals.
2.3 LIGHTING THE BOILER
Ensure the gas and electrical supply to the boiler are turned on.
Turn the mode selector switch to the ON position. When there is a request for heating or hot water via the time clock or programmer, the boiler will begin an ignition sequence. When the appliance reaches the CH set temperature, the burner will go off for a minimum period of approximately 3 minutes. When the programmer/time clock or external thermostats heating request has been satisfied, the appliance will switch off automatically.
2.4 ADJUSTING THE HEATING TEMPERATURE
Rotate the temperature selector – clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease – to the desired temperature setting. The temperature can be set from a minimum of 40°C to a maximum of 80°C (if standard CH mode is selected).
2.5 ADJUSTING THE HOT WATER TEMPERATURE
Rotate the temperature selector – clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease – to the desired temperature setting. The temperature can be set from a minimum of 37°C to a maximum of 60°C. If the temperature at the outlet is still not sufficiently hot enough, it may be necessary to reduce the flow of water at the hot water outlet (tap).
NOTE
If the appliance fails to ignite during the ignition sequence, it will enter a lockout condition. Should this occur, please allow a
period of at least two minutes before re-setting the appliance.
2.6 EXPLANATION OF FEATURES
Although the Vokèra Compact SE has been designed for simplicity of use, it utilises the latest in boiler technology,
enabling a host of functions to be carried out simultaneously.
2.7 AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The automatic temperature control function (SARA), permits the boiler (when the heating temperature selector is set in position AUTO) to automatically adjust (raise) the heating. The activation and the disable of the function is visualized by blinking the green led.
2. GETTING STARTED
3.1 HOW TO TOP-UP THE SYSTEM PRESSURE (fig. 1-2)
The system pressure must be checked periodically to ensure the correct operation of the boiler. The needle on the gauge should be reading between 1 and 1.5 BAR when the boiler is in an off position and has cooled to room temperature. If the pressure requires ‘topping-up’ use the following instructions as a guide.
- Locate the filling valve connections (usually beneath the boiler, see fig. 2).
- Attach the filling loop to both connections.
- Open the filling valve slowly until you hear water entering the system.
- Close the filling valve when the pressure gauge (on the boiler) reads between 1 and 1.5 BAR (see fig. 1).
- Remove the filling loop from the connections.
3.2 HOW TO RESET THE APPLIANCE
When the red fault LED is illuminated, the appliance will require to be reset manually. Before resetting the boiler, check what action is required to be taken, using the information on the fault code table below. Allow a period of two minutes to elapse before rotate the mode selector knob across the position (see fig. 1).

1.2 MODE OF OPERATION (at rest)
When the appliance is at rest and there are no requests for heating or hot water, the following functions are active:
frost-protection system – the frost-protection system protects
the appliance against the risk of frost damage, if the primary temperature falls to 5°C, the appliance will function on minimum power until the temperature on main reaches 35°C.
anti-block function – the anti-block function enables the
pump to be energised for short periods, when the appliance has been inactive for more than 24-hours.
1.3 MODE OF OPERATION (Heating)
When there is a request for heat via the time clock and/or any external control, the pump and fan are started, the fan speed will modulate until the correct signal voltage is received at the control PCB. At this point an ignition sequence is enabled. Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuit to ensure flame stability at the burner. Once successful ignition has been achieved, the electronic circuitry increases the gas rate to 75% for a period of 15 minutes. Thereafter, the boiler’s output will either be increase to maximum or modulate to suit the set requirement. When the appliance reaches the desired tem­perature the burner will shut down and the boiler will perform a three-minute anti-cycle (timer delay). When the request for heat has been satisfied the appliance pump and fan may continue to operate to dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.
1.4 MODE OF OPERATION (Hot water)
When there is a request for DHW via a hot water outlet or tap, the fan is started, the air pressure switch will give the signal voltage to the control PCB. At this point an ignition sequence is enabled. Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuit to ensure flame stability at the burner. Once successful ignition has been achieved, the electronic circuitry increases the gas rate to maximum or will modulate output to stabilise the temperature. In the event of the appliance exceeding the desired temperature (set point) the burner will shut down until the temperature drops. When the request for DHW has been satisfied the appliance pump and fan may continue to operate to dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.
SECTION 1 - DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE
1.5 SAFETY DEVICES
When the appliance is in use, safe operation is ensured by:
a water pressure switch that monitors system water pressure and will de-activate the pump, fan, and burner should the system water pressure drop below the rated tolerance;
air pressure switch to ensure safe operation of the burner;
a high limit thermostat that over-rides the temperature control
circuit to prevent or interrupt the operation of the burner;
flame sensor that will shut down the burner when no flame signal is detected;
a safety valve which releases excess pressure from the primary circuit.

Unhook and remove the terminal block cover (230V). Pass the cable through the cable anchorage point. Connect the supply cable wires (LIVE, NEUTRAL, & EARTH) to their corresponding terminals (L, N, & E) on the appliance – high voltage – terminal block. When connecting the EARTH wire, ensure that it’s left slightly longer that the others, this will prevent strain on the EARTH wire should the cable become taut. Do not remove the link wire unless additional external controls are to be fitted (see section 8). The securing screw on the cable anchorage should now be tightened. This must be done before the terminal block cover is re-fitted in its position.
NOTE
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the appliance is properly Earthed. Vokèra Ltd. cannot be held responsible for any damages or injuries caused as a result of incorrect Earth wiring.

5.1 GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
Inspect the entire installation including the gas meter, test for tightness and purge. Refer to BS 6891 (I.S. 813 in ROI) for specific instruction.
5.2 THE HEATING SYSTEM
The appliance contains components that may become damaged or rendered inoperable by oils and/or debris that are residual from the installation of the system, consequently it is essential that the system be flushed in accordance with the following instructions.
5.3 INITIAL FILLING OF THE SYSTEM
Ensure both flow and return service valves are open, remove appliance casing as described in 4.7.1, identify the automatic air release valves (AAV) and loosen the dust cap/s by turning the cap anti-clockwise one full turn. Ensure all manual air release valves located on the heating system are closed. Connect the filling loop as shown in fig. 4, slowly proceed to fill the system by firstly opening the inlet valve connected to the flow pipe, and then turning the lever on the fill valve, to the open position. As water enters the system the pressure gauge will begin to rise. Once the gauge has reached 1 BAR close both valves and begin venting all manual air release valves, starting at the lowest first. It may be necessary to go back and top-up the pressure until the entire system has been filled. Inspect the system for water tightness, rectifying any leaks.
5.4 INITIAL FLUSHING OF THE SYSTEM
The whole of the heating system must be flushed both cold and hot as detailed in 5.8. Open all radiator or heating valves and the appliance flow & return service valve. Drain the boiler and system from the lowest points. Open the drain valve full bore to remove any installation debris from the boiler prior to lighting. Refill the boiler and heating system as described in 5.3.
5.5 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Before attempting the initial lighting of the appliance, the following checks must be carried out:
ensure all gas service valves from the meter to the appliance are open and the supply pipe has been properly purged;
ensure the proper electrical checks have been carried out, (see 7.8) particularly continuity, polarity and resistance to earth;
ensure the 3 AMP fuse – supplied with the appliance – has been fitted;
ensure the system has been filled, vented and the pressure set to 1 BAR;
ensure the flue system has been fitted properly and in accordance with the instructions;
ensure all appliance service valves are open.
5.6 INITIAL LIGHTING
Ensure the electrical supply to the appliance is switched on. Ensure any external controls are switched to an ‘ON’ position and are calling for heat. Move the selector switch to the ON position, the appliance will now operate as described in 1.2. Should the appliance fail to ignite, refer to 5.6 and/or section 7 (mode of operation, parameter setting & faultfinding).
5.7 CHECKING GAS PRESSURE AND COM-
BUSTION ANALYSIS
The appliance is factory set and requires no additional adjustment once installed. However to satisfy the requirements of GSIUR 26/9 (I.S. 813 ROI), it will be necessary to gas rate the appliance using the gas meter that serves the appliance. If the installation does not include a gas meter (for example LPG) and there are no means by which to calculate the gas rate, then a combustion analysis test must be carried out in accordance with BS 7967 (UK) to ensure the appliance is left working safely and correctly. Additionally, if the gas valve has been adjusted, replaced, or the appliance has been converted for use with another gas
type, then it becomes necessary to carry out a combustion analysis/check to ensure that correct combustion is occurring. If there are no means to gas rate the appliance and/or carry out a combustion analysis check, then it will not be possible to complete the commissioning procedure. Details on how to carry out the combustion analysis can be found in section 7.
IMPORTANT
It’s imperative that a sufficient dynamic – gas – pressure is maintained at all times. Should the dynamic gas pressure fall below an acceptable level, the appliance may malfunction or sustain damage.
5.8 FINAL FLUSHING OF THE HEATING SYSTEM
The system shall be flushed in accordance with BS 7593 (I.S. 813 ROI). Should a cleanser be used, it must be suitable for copper heat exchangers. It shall be from a reputable manufacturer and shall be administered in strict accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions and the DWTA code of practice.
NOTE
Chemicals used to cleanse the system and/or inhibit corrosion must be pH neutral, i.e. they should ensure that the level of the pH in the system water remains neutral. Premature failure of certain components can occur if the level of pH in the system water is out-with normal levels.
5.8.1 INHIBITORS
See Section 3 “General Requirements”.
5.9 SETTING THE FLOW OUTLET TEMPERA­TURE
The flow outlet temperature can be adjusted between 40 °C - 80 °C for standard CH system by using the Heating thermostat knob (see fig.1).
5.9.1 SETTING THE DHW OUTLET TEMPERATURE
The DHW outlet temperature can be adjusted between 37 °C
- 60 °C via the DHW thermostat knob (see fig.1).
5.10 SETTING THE SYSTEM DESIGN PRESSURE
The design pressure should be a minimum of 0.5 BAR and a maximum of 1.5 BAR. The actual reading should ideally be 1 BAR plus the equivalent height in metres (0.1 BAR = 1 metre) to the highest point in the system above the base of the appliance (up to the maximum of 1.5 BAR total). N.B. The safety valve is set to lift at 3 BAR/30 metres/45 psig. To lower the system pressure to the required value, drain off some water from the appliance drain valve until the required figure registers on the pressure gauge (see fig. 1).
5.11 REGULATING THE CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM
Fully open all radiator and circuit valves and run the appliance for both heating and hot water until heated water is circulating. If conditions are warm remove any thermostatic heads. Adjust radiator return valves and any branch circuit return valves until the individual return temperatures are correct and are approximately equal.
5.11.1 REGULATING THE DHW FLOW-RATE
The appliance is fitted with a flow rate restrictor that limits the maximum flow rate that can be drawn through the appliance. The restrictor eliminates the need to manually adjust the DHW flow rate. However if it is felt necessary to further increase or decrease the available flow rate, spare restrictors are available to Vokèra spare parts. The spare flow rate restrictors can be fitted to either increase or decrease the maximum flow rate.
5.11.2 FLOW-RATE RESTRICTOR
The boiler is supplied with the following flow restrictor.

7.1 CHECKING 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 tightness, water tightness and the electrical integrity of the appliance.
7.2 APPLIANCE MODES OF OPERATION
NOTE
There must be sufficient system water pressure (min. 0.5 bar) to ensure the water pressure switch is activated. If there is insufficient system pressure the pump and fan will be prevented from operating and the low-pressure fault code will be indicated.
7.2.1 SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE OFF/RESET POSITION
When the selector switch is in the OFF/RESET position, the following functions are active.
Active functions:
frost-protection system
pump & actuator anti-block.
7.2.2 ON-BOARD FUNCTIONS
CO FUNCTION: the CO function when activated, will allow
the appliance to run a t CH maximum, DHW maximum or minimum output whilst a combustion analysis check or a mechanical gas valve calibration is being carried out. Whilst the CO function is active, all other functions are disabled (minimum power operating period, anti-cycle, set-point, etc). Once enabled, the CO function will remain active for a 15­minute period, or until the function is manually deactivated
FROST-PROTECTION: this function is only active when
there are no requests for heating or HW. If the temperature drops below 5°C, the boiler will operate on minimum power until the temperature of the thermistor reaches 35°C. Thereafter the pump & fan will over-run for 30-seconds.
ANTI-CYCLE FUNCTION: the anti-cycle function ensures
the burner remains switched off for at least 3-minutes after the set-point hysterisis (set-point + 5-deg) for CH heat request.
PUMP ANTI-BLOCK FUNCTION: when there has been no
heating or HW request for 24-hours, the anti-block cycle is activated. The pump will be activated for a period of 30­seconds.
SARA function: the SARA function permits the boiler (when
the set-point is within the SARA range) to automatically adjust (raise) the heating flow outlet temperature should the room thermostat contacts remain closed for more that 20­minutes.
7.2.3 HEATING 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 anti­cycling, the timing will be cancelled once the demand for hot water has been satisfied.
7.2.4 HOT 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.
ATTENTION
Gas type and appliance output must be set according to the specific appliance specification. Vokèra accepts no responsibility if the gas type is not correctly adjusted according to the respective appliance specification as detailed on the appliance data badge.
SECTION 7 - CHECKS, ADJUSTMENTS AND FAULT FINDING
7.3 ADJUSTMENTS
The boiler has already been adjusted by the manufacturer. If it is necessary to adjust it again, for example after extraordinary maintenance, after replacement of gas valve or after gas conversion, carry out the following procedure.
The maximum output adjustment must be carried out in the sequence indicated exclusively by qualified personnel.
- remove the shell unscrewing the fixing screws A
- unscrew by two turns the screw of the pressure test point downstream the gas valve and connecting the pressure gauge
- disconnect the compensation inlet of the air distribution box.
7.3.1 Maximum power and minimum domestic hot water
adjustment
- Fully open the hot water tap
- on the control panel:
- set the mode selector to (summer)
- turn the domestic hot water temperature selector to its maximum
- power the boiler setting the system main switch to ON
- check that the pressure on the pressure gauge is stable; or with a multimeter in series to the modulator, make sure that the modulator supplies the maximum available current (120
Page 25
23
mA for G20 and 165 mA for LPG).
- carefully prise out the protection cap of the adjustment screws, using a screwdriver
- with a 10mm spanner, use the adjustment nut of the maximum output in order to obtain the value indicated in table
- disconnect the modulator electrical connection.
- wait until the pressure on the pressure gauge is stable at minimum value
- paying attention not to press the internal shaft, with a Phillips screwdriver turn the red adjustment screw to regulate the domestic hot water minimum temperature and calibrate until the pressure gauge reads the value indicated in table
- reconnect the modulator electrical connection.
- close the domestic hot water tap
- carefully refit the protection cap of the adjustment screws.
7.3.2 Minimum and maximum heating electric adjustment
The “electric adjustment” function is activated and deactivated exclusively by the jumper (JP1). The function can be enabled in the following way:
- by powering the card with the jumper JP1 inserted and the mode selector in winter position, independently from the possible presence of other operation request.
- by inserting the jumper JP1, with the mode selector in winter position, without heat request in progress.
By activating the function the burner is ignited through simulation of heat request in heating. To perform calibration operations, proceed as follow:
- switch off the boiler
- remove the shell and access the card
- insert the jumper JP1 to enable the knobs placed on the control panel to the minimum and maximum heating adjustment functions.
- make sure that the mode selector is in winter position
- power the boiler
Electric card in voltage (230 Volt)
- turn the heating water temperature adjustment knob B until it reaches the heating minimum value as indicated in the multigas table
- insert the jumper JP2
- turn the domestic hot water temperature adjustment knob C until it reaches the heating maximum value as indicated in the multigas table
- remove the jumper JP2 to store the heating maximum value
- remove the jumper JP1 to store the heating minimum
value and to get out the calibration procedure
- reconnect the compensation inlet to the air distribution box
Disconnect the pressure gauge and retighten the pressure test point screw. To finish the calibration function without storing the set values, proceed as follows: a) set the mode selector to position (OFF) b) remove power supply voltage
The calibration function is automatically finished, without storing minimum and maximum values, after 15 minutes of its activation. The function is automatically finished also in case of definitive stop or lockout. Also in this case, function conclusion DOES NOT provide values storing.
Note
To calibrate only maximum heating, it is possible to remove the jumper JP2 (to store the maximum) and then get out from the function, without storing the minimum, setting the mode selector to (OFF) or removing the voltage from the boiler. After each intervention on the adjustment element of the gas valve, seal it with sealing varnish.
When adjustment is complete:
- restore set temperature with the ambient thermostat to the desired temperature
- set the heating water temperature selector to the desired position
- close the instrument panel
- pull the shell back in place.

7.4 COMBUSTION ANALYSIS TEST
To carry out the combustion analysis, proceed as follows:
- open the hot water tap to its maximum output
- set the mode selector to summer and the domestic hot water temperature selector to the maximum value
- remove the screw of the combustion analysis inlet cover and insert the probes
- power the boiler
The appliance works at maximum output and it is possible to check combustion.
After analysis is complete:
- close the hot water tap
- remove the probe from the analyser and close the combustion analysis inlet fastening carefully the screw previously removed.
7.5 CHECKING THE EXPANSION VESSEL
Carry out the component removal procedure as described in
6.4. You must ensure that the boiler is completely drained of
water. Using a suitable pressure gauge, remove dust cap on expansion vessel and check the charge pressure. The correct charge pressure should be 1.0 bar ± 0.1 bar. If the charge pressure is less, use a suitable pump to increase the charge.
NOTE
You must ensure the drain valve is in the open position whilst re-charging takes place. Replace the dust cap and carry out the relevant commissioning procedure (section 5).
7.6 EXTERNAL FAULTS
4.4 Light signals and faults
The control panel has two led that indicate the boiler operating status:
Green led Flashing
- Flashing with frequency 0.5 second on - 3.5 seconds off = boiler in standby, there is no flame.
- Flashing with frequency 0.5 second on - 0.5 second off = temporary stop of the appliance due to the following self­restoring faults:
- water pressure switch (standby time 10 minutes approximately)
- differential air pressure switch (standby time 10 minutes approximately)
- transitory waiting for ignition.
In this phase, the boiler waits for restoration of working conditions. If after standby time, the boiler will not restore regular operation, stop will be permanent and light signalling will be red.
- Fast flashing (frequency 0.1 sec. on; 0.1 sec. off; duration
0.5) input/output function S.A.R.A. (Italian acronym for Environment Automatic Adjustment System) By setting the heating water temperature selector to the area marked by AUTO - temperature value from 55 to 65°C
- the S.A.R.A. self-adjusting system is activated: the boiler varies the delivery temperature according to the closing signal of the ambient thermostat. When the temperature set with the heating water temperature selector is reached, a 20 minutes count begins. If during this period the ambient thermostat still requests heat, the value of the set tempera­ture automatically increases by 5°C. When the new value is reached, other 20 minutes count begins. If during this period the ambient thermostat still requests heat, the value of the set temperature automatically increases by 5°C. This new temperature value is the result of the temperature set manually with the heating water temperature selector and the increase of +10°C of the S.A.R.A function. After the second increasing cycle, the temperature value is restored to the value set by the user and the above mentioned cycle is repeated until the ambient thermostat request is fulfilled.
Fixed green
if there is flame, the boiler works regularly.
Red led
The red led indicates a boiler lockout due to the following faults:
Fixed
- flame lockout
- air pressure switch intervention (after transient phase)
- NTC heating probe
- ACF electronic fault alarms
Flashing
- limit thermostat intervention To reset operation, place the mode selector on OFF/stand-by, wait 5-6 seconds and take it then to the desired position: summer or winter mode. If the boiler does not restore normal operation, contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Green flashing led + red flashing led
When the LEDs flash simultaneously it is a domestic water probe alarm and water pressure switch alarm (after transient phase). The boiler works regularly, but stability of the domestic hot water temperature is not guaranteed. Contact the Technical Assistance Service for a control. When the LEDs flash alternatively it means that there is a calibration procedure in progress.
7.7 ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Any electrical checks must be carried out by a suitably qualified person.
7.7.1 EARTH CONTINUITY TEST
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, and using a suitable multi-meter carry out a resistance test. Connect test leads between an appliance earth point and the earth wire of the appliance supply cable. The resistance should be less than 1 OHM. If the resistance is greater than 1 OHM check all earth wires and connectors for continuity and integrity.
7.7.2 SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, and using a suitable multi-meter, carry out a short circuit test between the Live & Neutral connections at the appliance terminal strip. Repeat above test on the Live & Earth connections at the appliance terminal strip.
NOTE
Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated, a detailed continuity check will be required to trace the fault. A visual inspection of components may also assist in locating the fault.
7.7.3 POLARITY CHECK
With the appliance connected to the electrical 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. The meter should read approximately 230V ac. If so proceed to next stage. If not, see
7.7.4.
connect test leads between the Live & Earth connections at the appliance terminal strip. The meter should read approximately 230V ac. If so proceed to next stage. If not, see
7.7.4.
connect test leads between the Neutral & Earth connections at the appliance terminal strip. The meter should read approximately 0 – 15Vac. If so polarity is correct. If not, see
7.7.4.
7.7.4 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.

7.9 COMPONENT VALUES & CHARACTERISTICS
APPLIANCE STATUS LED AND FAULT CODES
When the boiler detects a temporary fault condition, the appropriate led indication is shown. If/when the fault is final, the pump will perform a 60-second post circulation and red LED will be illuminated. See table on page. 4.
7.7.5 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. If the meter reads other than infinity there is a fault that must be isolated, carry out a detailed continuity check to identify the location of the fault. These series of checks must be carried out before attempting any faultfinding procedures on the appliance. On completion of any task that required the disconnection and re-connection of any electrical wiring or component, these checks must be repeated.
7.8 FAULT FINDING
Before attempting any faultfinding, the electrical checks as detailed in 7.7 must be carried out. Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply. Disconnect any external controls from terminal plug (CN5 fig.
35), and insert a link-wire between the two wires at the ‘TA’ connections.
NOTE
Restore the electrical supply to the boiler and turn the selector switch to the on position. The boiler should now function as described in section 7. Should the boiler fail to respond, the internal fuses and connectors should be checked to ensure integrity and continuity.
