The Vokera Compact range of appliances are combined central heating and domestic hot water boilers, which – by design – incorporates full sequence electronic ignition, circulating pump, expansion vessel, safety valve, pressure gauge, automatic by-pass, and mechanical time clock.
Compact is produced as a room sealed appliance, suitable for wall mounting applications only. Compact is provided
with a fan powered flue outlet with an annular co-axial combustion air intake that can be rotated – horizontally – through 360 degrees for various horizontal or vertical applications, and can also be converted for use with a rear flue outlet. Compact can also be used with the Vokera twin flue system.
This appliance is designed primarily for use with sealed systems; consequently it is not intended for use on an open vented system.

SECTION 1 DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE
Fig. 2
1.1 PRINCIPLE 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
1.2 CENTRAL 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.
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).
1.3 HOT WATER MODE
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.
1.4 SAFETY DEVICES
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.
1.5 FROST PROTECTION
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.

The system shall be flushed in accordance with BS 7593. If a cleanser is to be used, it shall be from a reputable manufacturer* and shall be administered in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions. *Both Sentinel and Fernox manufacture products that have proved suitable for use with Vokera appliances. Vokera Ltd. cannot comment on the suitability of any other such product with our appliances.
5.9.1 INHIBITORS
See section 3 “General requirements”.
5.10 SETTING THE FLOW TEMPERATURE
The heating flow temperature selector can be adjusted from a minimum of 40 °C, to a maximum of 82 °C. In addition, when the selector is rotated to the Auto position, the appliance will automatically adjust the outlet flow temperature to compensate for inclement weather
*When the selector is left within this range, the appliance will automatically raise the outlet temperature during cold or inclement weather conditions
5.11 SETTING THE SYSTEM DESIGN PRESSURE
The design pressure should be I minimum of 1 bar and a maximum of 1.5 bar. The actual reading should ideally be 1 bar plus the equivalent height in metres 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/ 30m/ 45psig. To lower the system pressure to the required value, pull lever on head of safety valve to release water until the required figure registers on the pressure gauge (fig.1).
5.12 REGULATING THE CENTRAL HEATING SYS­TEM
Fully open all radiator and circuit valves and run the appliance in the central heating mode until heated water is circulating. If conditions are warm 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.
5.13 REGULATING THE DOMESTIC HOT WATER
The appliance is supplied with a built-in flow restrictor that limits the amount of water passing through the heat exchanger, thereby ensuring a reasonable temperature at the outlet. The outlet temperature can also be adjusted via the DHW temperature selector. If the required outlet temperature cannot be obtained by rotating the DHW temperature selector to its maximum setting, the adjustable
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.
NOTE
The appliance will light to provide hot water when the domestic hot water flow switch senses a flow rate of 2.0 litres –per minute – or more.

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 soundness, water soundness, and the electrical integrity of the appliance.
7.2 AT 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.
7.3 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.
7.4 HEATING MODE
With all controls calling for heat, the pump and fan will run. When the fan runs it proves the air
SECTION 7 CHECKS, ADJUSTMENTS AND FAULT FINDING
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.
7.5 FROST 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.
7.6 BURNER 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:
set the maximum DHW gas pressure

11.1 FITTING 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 f or 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). Take 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 r ing 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.
