SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
The Vokèra Linea 24 & 28 are combined
central heating and domestic hot water appliances. By design they incorporate full sequence electronic ignition, circulating pump,
expansion vessel, safety valve, temperature
gauge, pressure gauge and 3 port diverter
valve.
They are produced as room sealed appliances suitable for wall mounting applications
only. They are provided with a fan powered
flue outlet with an annular co-axial combustion
air intake which can be rotated through 360
degrees. A vertical & twin flue option is available They are also suitable for S.E. duct installation.
These appliances are designed for use with a
sealed heating system only and are not intended for use on an open vented system.
The provision of stored domestic hot water is
possible by the addition of an indirect cylinder
with 'S' or 'Y' plan controls.
An automatic range-rating facility is incorporated in the boiler for the central heating system in conjunction with the electronic burner
modulation. The domestic hot water (dhw)
service utilises a motorised control combined
with a 3 port diverter valve to give hot water
priority which also benefits from a preheat
function.

SECTION 2DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE
2.1Fig.1 illustrates the general layout of compo-
nents. Fig.2 illustrates the operating principles
described below.
2.2Central Heating Mode
2.2.1When the various switches and controls im-
pose a demand for heat, the pump is started.
If the primary pressure is sufficient, the electronic circuitry is energised. The fan is started,
the gas valve is energised at an intermediate
rate and the electronic ignition goes through
an ignition attempt.
2.2.2The burner ignition is checked by the electronic circuitry to ensure correct ignition of the
burner; once successful the gas will flow at
75% of maximum heat input for a period of
approximately 15 minutes and then go to
maximum heat input to maximise heating performance, unless the boiler nears optimum
temperature where it will modulate down to
suit system load.
2.2.3As water temperature increases this is sensed
by the temperature sensor on the primary heat
exchanger which modulates the burner to
match the heat output to the heat requirement
of the system.
2.2.4Depending on the load, either a) The water
temperature will continue to rise and the burner
will continue to modulate down; The burner
will switch off at maximum temperature, or b)
the water temperature will fall; the burner
will return to a higher output to match demand.

2.3Domestic Hot Water Mode
2.3.1The appliances incorporate a hot water preheat
facility. The appliance will therefore ignite
periodically to maintain heat within the appliance.
2.3.2The appliance will operate in domestic hot
water mode whenever the mode selector switch
is on regardless of mode selector switch
position and any demand for central heating.
2.3.3The diverter valve will automatically energise
into the hot water position after central heating
demand, or will stay in the hot water position
after hot water demand. Opening a draw off
tap will energise the pump and fan sending
primary water to the domestic hot water heat
exchanger.
2.3.4Temperature control is transferred to the domestic hot water thermostat (potentiometer)
which modulates the burner output between
high and low flame to maintain an average
heat input to suit the dhw output required.
2.3.5An overrun is incorporated in the boiler in both
c/h & dhw modes. The fan overruns until the
boiler water cools to approximately 80°C
(176°F).
2.4Safety Devices
2.4.1In both central heating and hot water modes
safe operating is ensured by:
A. Differential pressure unit in the primary
circuit which prevents burner operation if water
pressure is too low.
B. An electronic device that checks the primary pressure unit for activation. Failure results in deactivation of the pump, after approximately 10 minutes of operation.
C. A safety thermostat, which interrupts the
control circuit shutting off the gas valve. At the
same time the fan will still operate.
D. A Pressure differential switch in the flue
system to check the fan's operation before
allowing ignition.
2.4.2A safety valve is provided to relieve excess
pressure from the primary circuit.
2.4.3Frost Thermostat
The appliance has a built in frost protection
circuit. Should the boiler temperature sensed at
the primary thermistor fall below 5°C, the boiler
will operate in central heating mode and continue
to operate until the primary thermistor reaches
approximately 40°C.

for domestic purposes (2nd family gases).
vessels & ancillary equipment for sealed water
systems.
4.2Location of Appliance
The combination boiler may be installed in any
room or internal space, although particular
attention is drawn to the requirements of the
current l.E.E. Wiring Regulations, and in Scotland, the electrical provisions of the Building
Regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the combination
boiler in a room or internal space containing a
bath or shower.
Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in
a room containing a bath or shower, any
electrical switch or appliance control, utilising
mains electricity, should be located in such a
position that it cannot be touched by a person
using the bath or shower.
The location chosen for the boiler must permit
the provision of a 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 boiler.
Where the installation of the boiler will be in an
unusual location special procedures may be
necessary and BS 6798:1987 gives detailed
guidance on this aspect.
Pipework from the meter to the boiler must be
of adequate size. Pipes of a smaller size than
the boiler inlet connection should not be used.
The complete installation must be tested for
soundness as described in the above code.
N.B. If the gas supply for the boiler serves
other appliances ensure that an adequate
supply is available both to the boiler and the
other appliance when they are in use at the
same time.
4.4Flue System
The terminal should be located where dispersal of combustion products is not impeded and
with due regard for the damage or discoloration that might occur to building products in the
vicinity (see fig 4).
The terminal must not be located in a place
where it is likely to cause a nuisance.
In cold and/or humid weather water vapour
may condense on leaving the flue terminal.
The effect of such ‘steaming’ must be considered.

Fig. 4
For protection of combustibles, refer to BS
5440:1 where the terminal is less than 2m
(6.6ft) above a pavement or platform to which
people have access (including any balcony or
flat roof the terminal must be protected by a
guard of durable material).
A suitable guard is available from Vokera Ltd.
Part No 018, G.C. No. 301 106
This guard must be fitted centrally over the
terminal. Mark the positions of the fixings, drill
the wall and secure using wall plugs and 3 of
1˚" No.8 plated screws.
4.6Water Circulation (Central Heating)
Detailed recommendations are given in
BS 6798:1987 and BS 5449:1:1990 (for
smallbore and microbore central heating systems).
4.6.1The following notes are given for general
guidance.
4.6.2Pipework
Copper tubing to BS 2871:1:1971 is recommended for water pipe. Jointing should be
either by capillary soldered or with compression fittings.
Where possible, pipes should have a gradient
to ensure air is carried naturally to air release
points and water flows naturally to drain taps.
It should be ensured as far as possible that the
appliance heat exchanger is not a natural
collecting point for air.
Except where providing useful heat, pipes
should be insulated to prevent heat loss and to
avoid freezing. Particular attention should be
paid to pipes passing through ventilated spaces
in roofs and under floors.

NOTE: The flue must be terminated in a place not likely
to cause a nuisance.
4.6.3By-Pass
An automatic by-pass is incorporated in the
boiler, but systems should be designed to
ensure that with all radiators turned off a flow
rate of at least 350 litres/hour (1.28 gals/min)
is achieved through the system. See 6.9.4
4.6.4System Design

5.4
Mounting the appliance
The appliance should be mounted on a smooth,
vertical surface, which must be capable of
supporting the full weight of the appliance. Care
should be exercised when determining the
position of the appliance with respect to hidden
obstructions such as pipes, cables, etc.
When the position of the appliance has been
decided – using the template supplied – carefully
mark the position of the fixing jig/mounting bracket
assembly (see fig. 7) and flue-hole (if applicable).
5.4.1Important
There are two holes on the template. The lower
hole should be used with the telescopic flue kit
(part no. 0225705 & 0225710). The upper hole is
for use with all other horizontal flue kits.
The top flue outlet permits both horizontal and
vertical flue applications to be considered,
alternatively, the Vokera twin flue system can
be utilised if longer flue runs are required.
Carefully measure the distance from the centre of the
appliance flue outlet to the face of the outside wall
(dimension ‘X’ see fig. 12). Add 50mm to dimension ‘X’
to give the overall flue length (dimension ‘Y’). Using the
complete telescopic flue assembly adjust the length to
suit dimension ‘Y’. Once the telescopic flue terminal
has been adjusted to the correct length, secure the flue
assembly with the screw supplied.
5.5.1Concentric horizontal flue
(For concentric vertical flue, see 5.5.2)
(For twin flue applications, see 5.5.3)
The appliance flue outlet elbow can be rotated
through 360º on its vertical axis. In addition the
flue may be extended from the outlet elbow in
the horizontal plane (see 5.4.2), however if the
flue is to be extended or additional bends are
to be fitted, the standard horizontal flue kit
(part no. 2359029) must be used. A reduction
must also be made to the maximum length
(see table) when additional bends are used.
Reduction for bends
BendReduction in maximum flue length

U
sing the template provided (see 5.4.1), mark
and drill a 125mm hole for the passage of the flue
pipe. The hole should have a 1º drop from the
boiler to outside, to eliminate the possibility of
rainwater entering the appliance via the flue.
NOTE
The flue restrictor ring (see fig. 1) must be removed or
discarded prior to attaching the flue bend to the appliance.
Insert the flue assembly into the previously drilled flue
hole and locate the flue bend over the appliance flue
outlet. Push the flue bend down over the appliance flue
outlet and ensure the correct seal is made. Pull the flue
assembly towards and over the flue bend – using a
twisting action – ensuring the correct seal is made.
Check that the terminal protrudes past the finished
outside wall by the correct length (115mm).
NOTE
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly
supported and connected.
10
The fixing holes for the wall-mounting bracket &
jig should now be drilled and plugged, an
appropriate type and quantity of fixing should be
used to ensure that the bracket is mounted
securely.
Once the bracket & jig has been secured to the
wall, mount the appliance onto the bracket.

Linea 24 & 28
FITTING THE STANDARD (2359029) HORIZONTAL
FLUE KIT (see 5.4.1)
Carefully measure the distance from the centre of the
appliance flue outlet to the face of the outside wall
(dimension ‘X’ see fig. 13). Ensure the inner (60mm)
pipe is fully inserted into the outer (100mm) pipe (when
the inner pipe is fully inserted, it stands proud of the outer
pipe by 7.5mm). Add 32mm to dimension ‘X’ to give the
overall flue length (dimension ‘Y’). The standard
horizontal flue kit (part no. 2359029) is suitable for a
distance (dimension ‘Y’) of up to 865mm.
Fig. 13
NOTE
Dimension ‘Y’ is measured from the end of the terminal
to the end of the outer (100mm) pipe.
The internal trim should be fitted to the flue pipe before
connection of the 90º bend.
If the horizontal flue kit (2359029) requires to be cut to
the correct size (dimension ‘Y’), you must ensure that
the inner (60mm) pipe stands proud of the outer (100mm)
pipe by 7.5mm (see fig. 13A). Ensure any burrs are filed
or removed and that any seals are located properly
before assembly.
Connect the inner (60mm) pipe of the terminal assembly
to the push-fit end of the 90º bend (supplied) using a
twisting action. Insert the assembled flue into the
previously drilled hole. Using the clips & screws supplied,
connect the flue assembly to the boiler, ensuring that the
terminal protrudes past the finished outside wall by the
correct length (135mm).
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly
supported and connected.
Seal the flue assembly to the wall using cement or a
suitable alternative that will provide satisfactory
weatherproofing. The exterior trim can now be fitted.
EXTENDING THE HORIZONTAL FLUE
If the horizontal flue requires extension/s or
additional bend/s, the horizontal flue terminal
kit (2359029) must be used. Connect the bend
– supplied with the terminal kit – to the top of the
boiler using the clips, screws, & gaskets
supplied. The additional bends & extensions
have an internal push-fit connection, care should
be taken to ensure that the correct seal is made
when assembling the flue system. Connect the
required number of flue extensions or bends
(up to the maximum equivalent flue length) to
the flue terminal using the clips, screws, &
gaskets supplied (see fig. 13 & 13A).
IMPORTANT
The flue restrictor ring (see fig. 1) must be
removed or discarded if the total flue length –
including bends – exceeds 1.0m.
NOTE
When cutting the horizontal flue terminal or an
extension to the required length, you must
ensure that the excess is cut from the plain end
of the terminal or extension, and that the inner
(60mm) pipe is 7.5mm longer than outer
(100mm) pipe (see fig. 13 & 13A). Remove any
burrs, and check that any seals are located
properly.
You must ensure that the entire flue system is
properly supported and connected.
Seal the flue assembly to the wall using cement
or a suitable alternative that will provide
satisfactory weatherproofing. The interior and
exterior trim can now be fitted.
5.5.2Concentric vertical flue
The vertical flue terminal can be connected
directly to the appliance flue outlet. Alternatively,
an extension or bend can be connected to the
appliance flue outlet if desired (see 5.4.2),
however if additional bends are fitted, a reduction
must be made to the maximum flue length (see
table below).

Using the dimensions given in fig. 14 as a reference,
mark and cut a 105mm hole in the ceiling and/or roof.
Fit the appropriate flashing plate to the roof and insert
the vertical flue terminal through the flashing plate from
the outside, ensuring that the collar on the flue terminal
fits over the flashing.
The fixing holes for the wall-mounting bracket & jig
should now be drilled and plugged, an appropriate type
and quantity of fixing should be used to ensure that the
bracket is mounted securely. Once the bracket has
been secured to the wall, mount the appliance onto the
bracket & jig.
IMPORTANT
The vertical flue terminal is 1.0 metre in length and
cannot be cut; therefore it may be necessary to adjust
the height of the appliance to suit or use a suitable
extension.
Remove or discard the flue restrictor ring from the
appliance flue outlet (see fig. 1), if the total flue length –
including the allowance for any additional bends –
exceeds 1.0 metre.
Connect the vertical flue assembly to the boiler flue
spigot using the 60mm & 100mm clips, gaskets, &
screws (supplied), ensuring the correct seal is made.
The flue support bracket (supplied with the vertical flue
kit) can now be fitted.
If the vertical flue requires extension/s or additional
bend/s, connect the required number of flue extensions
or bends (up to the maximum equivalent flue length)
between the boiler and vertical flue assembly (see fig.
13A).
5.5.3TWIN FLUE SYSTEM
The Vokera twin flue system enables greater
flue distances to be achieved (see 5.4.2) than
that of the standard concentric flue system. It
can be used for horizontal or vertical
applications, however the twin flue system
must be converted to the dedicated concentric
flue kit for termination. It is essential that the
installation of the twin flue system be carried
out in strict accordance with these instructions.

• The flue must have a fall back of 1º back to
the appliance to allow any condensate that
may form in the flue system to drain via the
condensate drain. Consideration must also
be given to the fact that there is the possibility
of a small amount of condensate dripping
from the terminal.
• Ensure that the entire flue system is
adequately supported, use at least one
bracket for each extension.
• The entire flue system must be adequately
insulated to maintain heat within the flue
system thereby reducing the possibility of
condensate production.
• As the exhaust outlet pipe can reach very
high temperatures it must be protected to
prevent persons touching the hot surface.
NOTE
When cutting an extension to the required length, you
must ensure that the excess is cut from the plain end of
the extension and that the inner (60mm) pipe is 7.5mm
longer than outer (100mm) pipe (see fig. 13A). Remove
any burrs, and check that any seals are located properly.
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly
supported and connected.

to apply counter force to avoid damaging the
appliance
5.6.3Gas Supply
Connecting the gas supply.
Connect a 15mm gas pipe to the gas service
tap and tighten the union nut securing the tap
to the appliance.
Pipework from the meter to the appliance
must be of adequate size.
A minimum gas pressure of 20mb (8 in. w.g.)
must be available at the appliance inlet at full
flow rate. See section 3.
DO NOT use pipes of a smaller size than the
appliance inlet connection.
5.6.4Central Heating
Connect the central heating pipework (22mm
o.d) to the respective valves, right hand: flow,
left hand: return, and tighten the nuts.
5.6.5Hot Water
Connect a 15mm pipe to the hot water outlet
connection of the appliance. Tighten the nut.
If the hot water system does not include a tap
below the hot water outlet connection, provide
a suitable drain tap to permit draining of the
appliance hot water side during servicing.
5.6.6Cold Water
Connect a 15mm cold water service pipe to
the inlet stopcock of the appliance. Tighten the
nut.
If the cold water supply is liable to high pressure or large pressure fluctuations, a flow/
pressure regulator should be fitted in the supply pipe.
Should the appliance be subject to 'mains
knock' it would be advisable to install a non
return valve in the hot water outlet pipe to
prevent unnecessary activation of the domestic flow switch.
5.6.7Safety Valve Discharge
Connect a 15mm pipe to the discharge outlet
of the appliance.
The discharge should terminate facing downwards outside the building in a position where
discharging (possibly boiling) water will not
create danger or nuisance; but in an easily
visible position.
5.7Electrical Connections
5.7.1The electricity supply must be as specified in
4.7. If controls external to the appliance are
required, design of the external electrical circuits should be undertaken by a competent
person.
See Section 10 for further advice.
N.B. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ALL EXTERNAL CONTROL CIRCUITS AND WIRING IS
WIRED FROM THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISOLATOR AS SERVES THE APPLIANCE.
Factory fitted internal wiring must not be disturbed when wiring external controls.
5.7.2To gain access to the electrical terminals
Remove electrical cover by releasing four
securing screws. Fig.19.
The mains input terminal block is now easily
visible (see fig. 19a).
5.7.3The electricity supply cable from the isolator
and the appliance terminal block must be 3

slip the anchorage the current carrying conductors become taut before the earthing conductor.
5.7.5Securely tighten all terminal screws and arrange the cable with slack between the cable
anchor and the terminal block. Tighten the
cord anchorage screw until the cable is secure.
5.7.6Neatly arrange the external cable in such a
way that unrestricted opening of the controls
fascia is possible without strain on the cable.
5.7.7External controls may be wired from terminals
TA to TA after removing the factory fitted link
(see fig. 19 & pages 49-52 for further details).
If a neutral is needed use the terminal marked
N on the terminal strip.
DO NOT CONNECT ANY WIRES TO THE
TERMINAL STRIP MARKED 'S' '-' 'POS' 'POS'
When connecting wires to the terminal strip it
is possible to remove the terminal strip from
the circuit board: Grasp the terminal strip
firmly and slide up to clear pcb. See fig.22.
When refitting the terminal strip it is important
that it is replaced correctly (with the screws
facing left).

SECTION 6 COMMISSIONING
6.1Where the text bears identifying numbers in
brackets, refer to figs. 1 and 2 unless otherwise instructed.
6.2Gas Supply Installation
Inspect the entire installation including the
meter. Test for soundness and purge, all as
described in BS6891:1988.
6.3Central Heating Systems
6.3.1IMPORTANT DO NOT RELEASE AIR FROM
THE RED SEALED EXPANSION TANK. It is
charged with air at the factory from .75 - .80 bar
(11 - 12psig)
6.3.2Initial filling of the System
6.3.2.1See 3.4.3.
6.3.2.2Open central heating flow and return valves.
Unscrew black cap on automatic air release
valve (25) one full turn. (Leave open permanently).
6.3.2.3Close all air release taps on the central heating system.
6.3.2.4Identify the filling/inlet valve found at the base
of the appliance. See fig.6.
The filling loop may have been disconnected
from the filling/inlet valve and heating flow
valve. If so reconnect unscrewing the caps as
necessary.
The filling/inlet valve has 3 positions. (Fig. 21) i)
Vertically up - normal operating position.
ii) Turn to the left to horizontal - closed position.
iii) Vertically down - Filling position.
To fill, slowly turn the handle of the filling/inlet
valve from the closed position towards the
filling position. Mains water will be heard to
enter the system/boiler. As the water enters
the system/boiler the pressure gauge will be
seen to rise. Pressurise to between 1bar &
1.5bar when the system is cold. DO NOT
OVERPRESSURISE.
Once the desired pressure is achieved turn
the filling/inlet valve back to the closed position.
6.3.2.5Starting with the lowest radiator open each air
release tap in turn closing it only when clear
water, free of bubbles, flows out. In the same
away release air from any high points in the
pipework.
6.3.2.6Continue filling the system until at least 1.0 bar
registers on the gauge then turn the handle of
the filling/inlet valve back to the closed position.
6.3.2.7Inspect the system for water soundness and
remedy any leaks discovered.
6.3.3Initial flushing of Pipework
The whole of the heating system must be
flushed both cold and later hot as detailed in
6.10. Open all radiator or heating valves and
the appliance central heating valves. 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 6.3.2
6.3.4Setting the System Design Pressure
6.3.4.1The design pressure should be a minimum of
1 bar and maximum 1.5 bar.
6.3.4.2The actual reading should ideally be 1 bar plus
the equivalent height in metres to the highest
point of 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 3bar/ 30m
/ 45psig.
6.3.4.3To lower the system pressure to the required
value, pull lever on head of safety valve (22) a
quarter turn to release water until the required
figure registers on the gauge (19).
6.3.5Filling the Hot Water System
6.3.5.1Close all hot water draw-off taps.
6.3.5.2Turn filling/inlet valve to the normal operating
position (vertically up). See fig. 21
6.3.5.3Slowly open each draw-off until clear water is
discharged.
6.4Checking Electricity Supply
6.4.1Carry out preliminary checks for continuity,
polarity, and resistance to earth (see page
56), gaining access as required according to
5.7.2 in this manual.
6.4.2Leave the appliance with the control fascia
closed and with the mains electricity switched
OFF
6.5Lighting the Boiler
6.5.1Ensure flow and return valves are open.
(6.3.2.1)
If external and/or internal controls are fitted
(e.g Timeclock and/or Room thermostat) ensure they ‘call for heat’. The commissioning of
the appliance may be easier if the external/
internal controls are disconnected and terminals TA & TA are linked. (For access procedure turn off electricity and refer to 5.7.2 for
instructions).
6.5.2Switch on the mains electricity and turn the on
/ off / mode switch (20) to
6.5.3Set the c/h control knob (16) to the highest
setting.
6.5.4The appliance will go through an ignition sequence and the burner will light.
Linea 24 & 28
17
6.5.5If during the ignition attempt period (10 secs
approx.) the boiler fails to light, the ignition
control circuit will go to lockout. This is indicated by the status LED (14) flashing red
accompanied by a flashing error code 01
shown in the temperature indicator (15). The
gas valve is de-energised, but leaves the fan
and pump running for approximately 2 minutes after lockout.
6.5.6In the event of the boiler going to lockout turn
the mode selector switch to the reset position
for approximately 10 seconds, then back to
the original position. The two main causes of
the boiler going to lockout during commissioning
are electrical supply polarity reversed, or air in
the gas supply. Check polarity and that the gas
supply is completely purged of air, and that
gas is reaching the boiler, then repeat from
6.5.2.
6.6Checking Burner Pressures
6.6.1The heat inputs for high and low gas rates are
factory set to the maximum values given in
section 3.6 for domestic hot water and central
heating but it is necessary to check them when
commissioning.
6.6.2Turn off the main electricity supply. Gain access to the interior as instructed in 5.7.2.
6.6.3Locate the main burner pressure test point
(Fig. 20) and slacken the screw half a turn in an
anti clockwise direction . Attach a suitable U
gauge tube between the test nipple and manometer (see fig. 23).
IMPORTANT: Before measuring gas pressures it is imperitive that the protective cover
over the gas valve adjustment screw is removed. (Fig. 37)
Turn on electricity supply and fully open a
domestic hot water tap to operate boiler in dhw
mode. Adjust hot water control knob to it's
maximum setting.
Allow boiler to operate for approximately 5
- 10 minutes before checking gas pressures.
6.6.4The pressure reading for maximum rate should
be:
24 (N/G)
10.1mbar
( plus or minus 1.0mbar)
28 (N/G)
10.1mbar
(plus or minus 1.0mbar)
If the pressure is wrong it should be adjusted
as instructed in 8.23 (N.B. Whenever the
maximum rate is adjusted, check and adjust
the minimum rate too)
6.6.5Reduce the domestic water flow rate to approx.
3-4 litres/min, turn the domestic control knob
slowly to minimum. The boiler output will
reduce to the minimum setting. If low flame
cannot be established in this way, turn off the
electricity supply and remove one of the grey
wires connecting to the modulator coil on the
front of the gas valve. Switch on the electricity
supply. The boiler will now light at the minimum setting.
6.6.6When low flame is established, the pressure
reading should be:
24 (N/G)
1.5mbar
(plus or minus 0.15mbar)
28 (N/G)
1.3mbar
(plus or minus 0.13mbar)
If it is different adjustment should be made in
accordance with the instructions in 8.23.
6.6.7If the grey wire from the modulator coil was
removed to check the minimum setting, turn
off the electricity supply and replace the wire
onto the modulator coil.
