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:
●●
Pre-heat function – the pre-heat function ena-
●●
bles the appliance to periodically light and main­tain the temperature of the DHW heat ex­changer. This “keep-hot” facility enables the appliance to provide an instantaneous response to DHW requests.
●●
2-stage frost-protection system – the frost-pro-
●●
tection system protects the appliance against the risk of frost damage. The first stage ena­bles activation of the pump should the tempera­ture of the appliance fall to 7oC. The second stage becomes active when the temperature has dropped to 3oC. Should the second stage become active, the appliance will function on minimum power until it reaches 30oC.
●●
Anti-block function – the anti-block function ena-
●●
bles the pump and divertor valve actuator, to be energised for short periods, when the appli­ance has been inactive for more than 19-hours.
1.3 MODE OF OPERATION (Heating)
When there is a request for heat via the program­mer/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 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.
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 analogue pressure switch (PAD) that checks
●●
the operation of the fan and flue thereby allow­ing safe operation of the burner.
●●
A safety valve which releases excess pressure
●●
from the primary circuit.
●●
Burner Temperature control
●●
1.6 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
The Linea 7 is suitable for use with a range of optional accessories that enable enhanced op­eration and/or applications. These include:
●●
RC05 remote control – the RC05 remote con-
●●
trol enables the appliance to be controlled, ad­justed, and monitored from another location or room. The RC05 can also be used as a room thermostat or programmable room thermostat.
●●
External sensor – used in conjunction with the
●●

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, consequently there is no requirement for an ex­ternal by-pass, however the design of the sys­tem should be such that it prevents boiler ‘cy­cling’.

The gas meter – as supplied by the gas supplier – must be checked to ensure that it is of adequate size to deal with the maximum rated input of all the appliances that it serves. Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with I.S. 813.
Linea
7
Pipe work from the meter to the appliance must be of adequate size. Pipes of a smaller size than the appliance gas inlet connection must not be used. The installation must be tested for sound­ness in accordance with I.S. 813.
If the gas supply serves more than one appli­ance, it must be ensured that an adequate sup­ply is maintained to each appliance when they are in use at the same time.
3A.4 FLUE SYSTEM
The terminal should be located where the dis­persal of combustion products is not impeded and with due regard for the damage and discolora­tion that may occur to building products located nearby. The terminal must not be located in a place where it is likely to cause a nuisance (see I.S. 813).
In cold and/or humid weather, water vapour may condense on leaving the terminal; the effect of such pluming must be considered.
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 I.S. 813, when the terminal is 0.5 metres (or less) below plastic guttering or 1 metre (or less) below painted eaves.
3A.5 AIR SUPPLY
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.
3A.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.
3A.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.
3A.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 (726/730) or 10 litres (735) 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).
3A.6.6 FILLING POINT
A method for initial filling of the system and re­placing water lost during servicing etc. has been provided. You should ensure this method of fill­ing complies with the local water authority regu­lations.
3A.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. 5). 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.
3A.6 WATER CIRCULATION
Specific recommendations are given in I.S. 813. The following notes are for general guidance only.
3A.6.1 PIPEWORK
It is recommended that copper tubing be 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.
3A.6.2 AUTOMATIC BY-PASS
The appliance has a built-in automatic by-pass, consequently there is no requirement for an ex­ternal by-pass, however the design of the sys­tem should be such that it prevents boiler ‘cy­cling’.
3A.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.
3A.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.
3A.8 SHOWERS
If the appliance is intended for use with a shower, the shower must be thermostatically controlled and be suitable for use with a combination boiler.

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 valve and loosen the dust cap by turning the cap anti-clock­wise one full turn. IMPORTANT, THERE ARE NO MANUAL AIR RELEASE VALVES LOCATED ON THE APPLIANCE. Ensure all manual air re­lease valves located on the heating system are closed. Connect the filling loop as shown in fig. 14, slowly proceed to fill the system by firstly opening the inlet valve connected to the flow valve, and then turning the lever on the combined stopcock and check valve, to the filling position (see Fig. 18). 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 soundness, rectifying any leaks.
5.4 INITIAL FLUSHING
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 valves. Drain the boiler and sys­tem from the lowest points. Open the drain valve

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 pres-
sure (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.

●●
7.2.4 APPLIANCE FUNCTIONS
●●
DHW pre-heat, this function is only active when
●●
there are no requests for heating or hot water. When the secondary thermistor drops to 35oC, the pre-heat function is enabled, the appliance operates on minimum power until the second­ary thermistor reaches 55oC. Thereafter the pump and fan will over-run for 10-seconds.
●●
Frost-protection, this function is only active
●●
when there are no requests for heating or HW. Should the temperature of the primary thermis­tor drop below 7oC, the valve actuator will mo­tor to the heating position, and the pump will be activated for approximately 20-minutes. Should the temperature of the primary thermistor ex­ceed 10oC during this period, the cycle will be aborted. If the temperature drops below 4oC, the boiler will operate on minimum power until the temperature of the primary thermistor reaches 30oC. Thereafter the pump & fan will over-run for 30-seconds.
●●
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 for a period of 10-seconds and then mo­tor back to the DHW position. Thereafter the pump will be activated for a period of 1-minute. If the selector switch is in the Heating & HW position, the fan will also be active for 1-minute.
7.2.5 HEATING MODE
With the selector switch in the Heating & HW position and any additional controls (time clock, room thermostat, etc,) calling for heat, the appli­ance will operate in the heating mode. The valve actuator will motor to the heating position and the pump and fan will be active. The operation of the fan causes the analogue pressure switch (PAD) to deliver a signal voltage to the control PCB. If the signal voltage is sufficient 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.
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% 0f 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.
Linea
27
If the temperature continues to rise and exceeds the set-point by 6oC, 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 6oC below the set-point.
NOTES
The timer delay can be de-activated by the inser­tion of a ‘jumper’ on the PCB or by isolating the appliance from the electrical supply for 30 sec­onds. Any DHW request will always have priority over the 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.
7.2.6 DHW MODE
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 analogue pressure switch (PAD) to deliver a signal voltage to the control PCB. If the signal voltage is sufficient 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.
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 5oC, the burner will shut down until the temperature drops to set-point + 4oC, whereby a new ignition sequence will be enabled. When the request for heating has been satisfied, the appliance fan may continue to operate to dis­sipate any residual heat from within the appliance.
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply and attach a suitable manometer to the gas valve outlet test nipple.
7.3.1 SETTING THE MAXIMUM BURNER PRES­SURE fig. 41
Light the boiler as described in 5.7 and compare the reading on the manometer with the value de­scribed in 2.3. 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 counter-clockwise to de­crease the burner pressure.

NOTE
Always check and/or adjust the minimum and maximum gas pressures whilst the appliance is in the HW only mode. Ensure a DHW outlet (pref­erably the bath) is fully open, and that the HW temperature selector is at maximum
7.3.2 SETTING THE MIMIMUM BURNER PRES­SURE fig. 42
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 2.3. 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 has been completed, isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, replace the protective cap, refit the grey wire to the modulating coil, re­move the manometer, and tighten the outlet test nipple.
IMPORTANT, A GAS SOUNDNESS CHECK MUST BE CARRIED OUT.
7.3 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING BURNER PRES­SURE (see fig. 19)
Although the burner pressure is factory set, it is necessary to check it during servicing or if the gas valve has been removed.

7.4 COMBUSTION ANALYSIS TEST
A combustion analysis check can easily be car­ried out on the appliance via the test points lo­cated on the top of the appliance, however you must check that the burner pressures are set cor­rectly (see 7.3).
●●
Insert the flue gas analyser probe into the right
●●
hand test point (see fig 43).
●●
Locate and remove the protective cap that con-
●●
ceals the ‘CO mode’ button (see fig. 43).
●●
Light the boiler as described in 5.7 and press
●●
the ‘CO mode’ button once.
●●
The boiler will now enter the combustion analy-
●●
sis mode (CO mode) for a period of 15 min­utes. During this time it will remain on full gas and ‘CO’ will be displayed on the LED display.
●●
Once the flue gas analysis has been made,
●●
press the ‘CO mode’ to resume normal opera­tion.
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 safety 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.
Fault code Possible causes
01 Gas supply problem
Gas line requires purging
Reversed polarity
Broken, internal flue joint
02 Flow/return valves closed
Stuck pump
03 Debris in flue system
Debris in flue venturi
04 Insufficient water pressure
Air in boiler
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 (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.
Linea
29
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.
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 from terminals TA & Spare of the appliance terminal strip, and make safe. Insert a solid link-wire between ter­minals TA & TA. Ensure jumper tags are fitted to the main PCB at:
●●
JP6
●●
●●
JP7
●●
●●
JP8 (Nat. Gas only).
●●
●●
M7
●●
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.
7.9 FAULT CODES
When the boiler displays a fault code, the appro­priate code is shown on the display, accompa­nied by a flashing red LED. To reset the boiler, slowly turn the mode selector switch to the reset position then back to the on position. If the boiler does not reset, refer to the following section and the detailed faultfinding flowcharts overleaf.

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 JP8 is enabled or disa­bled according to the gas type used.
●●
To change the injectors see 6.15

●●
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. 16)
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply and attach a suitable manometer to the gas valve outlet test point.
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.
10.6.2 SETTING THE MIMIMUM BURNER PRES­SURE fig. 42
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 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. 41
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.
