INTRODUCTION

The Compact HE range of appliances is comprised of 2 models of high-efficiency combination boiler with inputs to heating & DHW of 25, 29 & 35kW respectively. Each appliance - by design - incorporates electronic ignition, circulating pump, expansion vessel, safety valve, pressure gauge, and automatic by-pass.

The Compact HE range is produced as room sealed, category II2H3P appliances, suitable for internal wall mounting applications only. They are provided with a fan

powered flue outlet with an annular coaxial combustion air intake that can be rotated - horizontally - through 360 degrees for various horizontal or vertical applications. The Compact HE range can also be used with the Vokera twin flue system. The Compact HE range is approved for use with C12 & C32 type flue applications. These appliances are designed for use with a sealed system only; consequently they are not intended for use on open vented systems

SECTION 1 DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE

1.1 PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS

● A fully integrated electronic control board fea-

turing electronic temperature control, anti-cycle control, pump over-run, LED fault indicator, full gas modulation.

● Low-water-content, copper heat exchanger.

● Electronic ignition with flame supervision.

● Integral high-head pump.

● Fan.

● Air pressure switch.

● Expansion vessel.

● Water pressure switch.

● Two-stage gas valve.

● Pressure gauge.

● Safety valve.

● Condense switch.

1.2 MODE OF OPERATION (at rest)

When the appliance is at rest and there are no requests for heating or DHW, the following functions are active:

● Frost-protection system - the frost-protection

system protects the appliance against the risk of frost damage. Should the temperature of the appliance fall to 5 °C, the boiler will function in the heating mode at minimum power until it reaches 35 °C.

● Anti-block function - the anti-block function

enables the pump and divertor valve actuator, to be energised for short periods, when the appliance has been inactive for more than 19hours.

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 will then prove the air pressure switch. At this point an ignition sequence is enabled.

Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry 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 (DHW)

When there is a request for DHW via a hot water outlet or tap, the pump and fan are started, the fan will then prove the air pressure switch. At this point an ignition sequence is enabled.

Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry 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 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.

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.

● A high limit thermostat that over-rides the tem-

perature control circuit to prevent or interrupt the operation of the burner.

● An air pressure switch that requires the fan to

prove operation before the gas valve is energised.

● A pressure switch that interrupts the operation

of the appliance if the condense pipe becomes blocked.

● A safety valve which releases excess pressure

from the primary circuit.

ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT FOR SEALED WATER SYSTEMS

When an appliance is installed in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower, the appliance or any control pertaining to it must not be within reach of a person using the bath or shower.

The location chosen for the appliance must permit the provision of a safe and satisfactory flue and termination. The location must also permit an adequate air supply for combustion purposes and an adequate space for servicing and air circulation around the appliance. Where the installation of the appliance will be in an unusual location special procedures may be necessary, BS 6798 gives detailed guidance on this aspect.

A compartment used to enclose the appliance must be designed and constructed specifically for this purpose. An existing compartment/cupboard may be utilised provided that it is modified to suit.

Details of essential features of compartment/ cupboard design including airing cupboard installations are given in BS 6798. This appliance is not suitable for external installation.

3.5 AIR SUPPLY

3.6 WATER CIRCULATION

If installed less than 2m above a pavement or platform to which people have access (including balconies or flat roofs) the terminal must be protected by a guard of durable material. The guard must be fitted centrally over the terminal. Refer to BS 5440 Part 1, when a terminal is sited less than 1m below a plastic gutter, or less than 500mm below a painted surface, a suitable one metre long heat shield should be fitted.

The following notes are intended for general guidance only.

This appliance is a room-sealed, fan-flued boiler, consequently it does not require a permanent air vent for combustion air supply.

When installed in a cupboard or compartment, ventilation for cooling purposes is also not required.

Detailed recommendations are given in BS 5449 Part 1 and BS 6798. The following notes are for general guidance only.

Supplied By www.heating spares.co Tel. 0161 620 6677

3.6.1 PIPEWORK

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.

3.6.2 AUTOMATIC BY-PASS

The appliance has a built-in automatic by-pass. However it may be necessary to fit an external bypass should the design of the heating system require such. In any case, the design of the system should be such that it prevents boiler ‘cycling’.

3.6.3 DRAIN COCKS

These must be located in accessible positions to facilitate draining of the appliance and all water pipes connected to the appliance. The drain cocks must be manufactured in accordance with BS 2879.

3.6.7 LOW 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 highest point in the system and at least 5 metres above the boiler (see fig. 5a).

The cold feed from the make-up vessel or tank must be fitted with an approved non-return valve and stopcock for isolation purposes. The feed pipe should be connected to the return pipe as close to the boiler as possible.

3.6.4 AIR RELEASE POINTS

These must be positioned at the highest points in the system where air is likely to be trapped. They should be used to expel trapped air and allow complete filling of the system.

3.6.5 EXPANSION VESSEL

The appliance has an integral expansion vessel to accommodate the increased volume of water when the system is heated. It can accept up to 8 litres (25kW) or 10 litres (29 & 35kW) of expansion from within the system, generally this is sufficient, however if the system has an unusually high water content, it may be necessary to provide additional expansion capacity (see 6.19).

3.6.6 FILLING POINT

An approved method for initial filling of the system and replacing water lost during servicing etc. is required (see fig. 5). This method of filling must comply with the current Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and Water Bylaws 2000 (Scotland).

3.6.8 FREQUENT FILLING

Frequent filling or venting of the system may be indicative of a leak. Care should be taken during the installation of the appliance to ensure all aspects of the system are capable of withstanding pressures up to at least 3 bar.

3.7 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

The appliance is supplied for operation on 230V @ 50Hz electrical supply; it must be protected with a 3-amp fuse. The method of connection to the mains electricity supply must allow for complete isolation from the supply. The preferred method is by using a double-pole switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm. The switch must only supply the appliance and its corresponding controls, i.e. time clock, room thermostat, etc. Alternatively an un-switched shuttered socket with a fused 3-pin plug both complying with BS 1363 is acceptable.

3.9 MOUNTING ON A COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE

If the appliance is to be fitted on a wall of combustible material, a sheet of fireproof material must protect the wall.

3.10 TIMBER FRAMED BUILDING

If the appliance is to be fitted in a timber framed building, it should be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineers publication (IGE/UP/

7) ‘Guide for Gas Installations in Timber Frame Buildings’.

3.11 INHIBITORS

Vokera recommend that an inhibitor - suitable for use with copper and aluminium heat exchangers

- is used to protect the boiler and system from the effects of corrosion and/or electrolytic action. The inhibitor must be administered in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions*.

SECTION 7 CHECKS, ADJUSTMENTS AND FAULT FINDING

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 APPLIANCE MODE 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.

7.2.1 SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION

When the selector switch is in the OFF position, the Green LED status indicator will flash every 6seconds to confirm the appliance is in standby mode. The divertor valve is in the DHW position. The appliance will not respond to any DHW or heating requests.

7.2.4 APPLIANCE FUNCTIONS

●●

● Frost-protection: this function is only active

●●

when there are no requests for heating or HW. When the temperature of the primary thermistor drops below 5 °C, the valve actuator will motor to the heating position, whereupon the boiler will operate on minimum power until the temperature of the primary thermistor reaches 35 °C. Thereafter the pump will over-run for 30seconds.

●●

● Anti-block cycle: when there has been no

●●

heating or HW request for 19-hours, the antiblock cycle is activated. The valve actuator will motor from the DHW position to the heating position and then motor back to the DHW position. Thereafter the pump will be activated for a period of 30-seconds.

●●

● Fan over-run: should the temperature of the

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 20-minutes.

7.2.5 DHW MODE fig. 37

With the selector switch in the Heating & HW position, or HW only position and a DHW outlet is opened, the appliance will operate in the HW mode. The valve actuator will motor to the HW position (if a heating request was active) and the pump and fan will be active. The operation of the fan causes the air pressure switch to deliver a

Supplied By www.heating spares.co Tel. 0161 620 6677

signal voltage to the control PCB. A slow ignition sequence is enabled, whereby the current supplied to the gas valve modulating coil is progressively increased from minimum to maximum over a period of 8-seconds. During this period the ignition electrode sparks continuously even if the burner has ignited.

tion of the fan causes the air pressure switch to deliver a signal voltage to the control PCB. A slow ignition sequence is enabled, whereby the current supplied to the gas valve modulating coil is progressively increased from minimum to maximum over a period of 8-seconds. During this period the ignition electrode sparks continuously even if the burner has ignited.

Fig. 37

NOTE

If the spark/sensing electrode does not sense ignition the appliance will then go to lockout.

Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry to ensure flame stability at the burner. Once successful ignition has been achieved, the electronic circuitry modulates the appliance output in order to achieve the DHW set-point (the position of the DHW temperature selector) as measured at the secondary thermistor.

When the set-point has been reached, the appliance will begin the modulation phase whereby the fan and gas valve will continuously modulate to maintain the set-point.

If the temperature continues to rise and exceeds the set-point by 5 °C, the burner will shut down until the temperature drops to set-point + 4 °C, whereby a new ignition sequence will be enabled.

When the request for DHW has been satisfied, the appliance fan may continue to operate to dissipate any residual heat from within the appliance.

NOTE

If the spark/sensing electrode does not sense ignition the appliance will then go to lockout. Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry to ensure flame stability at the burner. Once successful ignition has been achieved, the electronic circuitry allows 75% of the full gas rate through the appliance. After 15 minutes the gas rate is increased to maximum (100%).

When the set-point has been reached (the position of the heating temperature selector) as measured at the primary thermistor, the appliance will begin the modulation phase whereby the fan and gas valve will continuously modulate to maintain the set-point.

If the temperature continues to rise and exceeds the set-point by 6 °C, the burner will shut down and the boiler will perform a three-minute anticycle (timer delay).

A new ignition sequence will be enabled when the 3-minute anti-cycle has been performed and the temperature at the primary thermistor has dropped 6 °C below the set-point.

NOTES

The timer delay can be de-activated by the insertion of a ‘jumper’ on the PCB at JP1 or by isolating the appliance from the electrical supply for 30 seconds. Any DHW requests will always have priority over a heating request.

When the request for heating has been satisfied, the appliance pump and fan may continue to circulate to dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.

7.7 ELECTRICAL CHECKS

Any electrical checks must be carried out by a suitably qualified person.

Fig. 42

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

Before carrying out any faultfinding or component replacement, ensure the fault is not attributable to any aspect of the installation.

7.6.1 INSTALLATION FAULTS

Symptom Possible causes

No ignition Check wiring

Check electrical supply

No hot water Check hot/cold pipe

work is not reversed

No central heating Check wiring of room thermostat

and/or other external controls

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 (fig.16).

Repeat above test on the Live & Earth connections at the appliance terminal strip (fig.16).

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 (fig.16). 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 (fig.16). 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 (fig.16). The meter should read approximately 0 - 15Vac. If so polarity is correct. If not, see 7.7.4.

Supplied By www.heating spares.co Tel. 0161 620 6677

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.

7.7.5 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 (fig.16). 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.

IMPORTANT

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 such as room thermostats etc. from the boiler.

7.9 FAULT CODES

When the boiler is in a fault condition, the LED is displayed in a colour and/or frequency that is relevant to the fault. To reset the boiler, turn the mode selector switch to the reset position (0) for 2-minutes’ then back to the relevant mode of operation.

If the boiler does not reset, refer to the following section and the detailed faultfinding flowcharts overleaf.

7.8.1 REPLACING THE MAIN PCB

When replacing the main PCB it’s essential that the potentiometers are set as follows:

● It’s essential that the minimum - central heating

- gas pressure is checked/adjusted as described in 7.3.3

● P4 - to be used to set/adjust the minimum

heating output

● P5 - set at maximum.

EFFECT OF JUMPER TAGS FITTED TO THE MAIN PCB AT:

● JP1 - disables DHW function

● JP2 - cancels anti-cycle function and initial

heating output (75% of maximum at start up)

● JP3 - for LPG boilers only

● JP4 - enables DHW temperature stabiliser

function (boiler modulates at set point and remains on minimum power, even if the set point is exceeded).

NOTE

If the Vokera remote-control (RC05) is connected to the appliance, it should be disconnected during any faultfinding checks.

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 7.2. Should the boiler fail to respond, the internal fuses and connectors should be checked to ensure integrity and continuity. If the boiler still fails to respond, refer to the detailed faultfinding flowcharts overleaf.

SECTION 8 WIRING DIAGRAMS

8.1 EXTERNAL WIRING

The appliance comes with a factory fitted clock to allow basic operation of the boiler (fig. 43). If external controls are to be added to the system, they must be connected to the appliance as shown in the following diagrams. For advice on controls that are not featured in this book, please contact Vokera technical on 0870 333 0520.

factory configuration

8.3 VOKERA REMOTE CONTROL

The RC05 remote control must be connected to the appliance as shown in fig. 44. The RC05 can be used in 3-modes:

● Boiler only control, whereby the RC05 con-

trols only the functions of the appliance (Heating & DHW temperature, reset function, fault code display, etc).

● Boiler control with room thermostat func-

tion, whereby the RC05 controls the functions of the appliance (Heating & DHW temperature, reset function, fault code display, etc) and also functions as a room thermostat.

● Boiler control with programmable room

thermostat, whereby the RC05 controls the functions of the appliance (Heating & DHW temperature, reset function, fault code display, etc) and also functions as a programmable room thermostat.

NOTE

If the RC05 is used in the “boiler only” mode, an additional control (such as the integral clock) will be required to switch the heating terminals.

Full details of the operation of the RC05 and its functions can be found in the installations and users instructions of the RC05.

Fig. 43

8.2 TYPICAL CONTROL APPLICATIONS

The appliance can be used with the following controls:

● Vokera RC05 remote control (part no. 405) and

Compact interface (part no. 409)

● Vokera external sensor (must be used in con-

junction with the RC05), (part no. 2359259)

● external single-channel, voltage-free time clocks

● programmable room thermostats.

In addition, the appliance can be used in conjunction with a typical ‘S’-Plan system, please contact Vokera technical for further detailed instruction.

NOTE

This appliance is not suitable for use with ‘Y’-Plan systems.

Fig. 44

8.4 ROOM THERMOSTAT

Should a room thermostat be required, it must be of the ‘voltage-free’ type, and should be connected to the appliance as shown in fig. 45.

Fig. 45

8.5 OTHER CONTROLS

Contact the controls manufacturer and/or Vokera technical department should you require more specific information on the suitability of a particular control.

10.3 CONVERTING THE APPLIANCE GAS TYPE

To convert the appliance to another gas type it is necessary to change the burner injectors and adjust the gas pressures. It is also necessary to ensure the jumper tag at JP3 is enabled or disabled according to the gas type used.

● To change the injectors see section 6.

● For correct jumper tag configuration see 7.8.

10.4 GAS SUPPLY

The gas supply must be connected to the appliance by a competent LPG 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.

10.5 GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION

The entire installation including the meter must be purged and checked for gas soundness.

10.6 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING BURNER PRESSURE (see fig. 26)

Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply and attach a suitable manometer to the gas valve outlet test point.

10.6.2 SETTING THE MINIMUM BURNER PRESSURE fig. 39

Once the maximum burner pressure has been checked and/or adjusted, remove one of the grey wires from the modulating coil. Compare the reading on the manometer with the value described in 10.2.

If adjustment is required, turn the inner (red) crosshead screw clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease the burner pressure, whilst ensuring that the outer (10mm) nut does not move. When checking and/or adjustment and/or adjustment has been completed, isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, close the DHW outlet, replace the protective cap, refit the grey wire to the modulating coil, remove the manometer, and tighten the outlet test point.

IMPORTANT, A GAS SOUNDNESS CHECK MUST BE CARRIED OUT.

10.6.1 SETTING THE MAXIMUM BURNER PRESSURE fig. 40

Light the boiler as described in 5.7, fully open a DHW outlet (preferably the bath) and ensure the HW temperature selector is set at maximum. Allow the appliance to stabilise.

Compare the reading on the manometer with the value described in 10.2. If adjustment is required, remove the protective cap from the gas valve modulating coil assembly and turn the outer (10mm) nut clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the burner pressure
