1.1 PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS
- A fully integrated electronic control board featuring electronic temperature control, anti-cycle control, pump over-run, self-diag­nostic fault indicator and premix burner control
- Low-water-content, aluminium heat exchanger
- Electronic ignition with flame supervision
- Integral high-head pump
- Fan
- Expansion vessel
- Water pressure sensor/gauge
- Two-stage gas valve
- Condensate level sensor
- Safety valve
1.2 MODE OF OPERATION (see section 7 for detailed information)
When the appliance is connected to the electrical supply, there are 5-possible modes of operation:
- STANDBY- Heating and DHW functions are disabled, however anti-freeze and anti-seize functions are active*
- HEATING ON- Heating and DHW functions enabled with TOUCH & GO function and SARA function active
- HEATING OFF - DHW only enabled, TOUCH & GO function active
* Anti-freeze & anti-seize functions are active in all operating
modes.
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 (adjustable, see parameter 28, cap. 7.3.1). Thereafter, the boiler’s output will either 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 five-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 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 maximum or will modulate output to stabilise the temperature. In the event of the appliance exceeding the desired temperature (set point) the burner will shut down until the temperature drops*. When the request for DHW has been satisfied the appliance pump and fan may continue to operate to dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.
*When the appliance is in the SUMMER mode, the burner will remain on minimum power even if the set point has been achieved.
1.5 SAFETY DEVICES
When the appliance is in use, safe operation is ensured by:
- a water pressure sensor that monitors system water pressure and will de-activate the pump, fan, and burner should the system water pressure drop below the rated tolerance;
- 2 temperature sensors that control and prevent the over-heating of the circuit, interrupting the operation of the burner;
- a differential temperature protection circuit which interrupts the burner if the temperature differential is too high or inverted;
- a fan speed sensor that checks the correct operation of the fan, thereby allowing safe operation of the burner;
- a sensor that interrupts the operation of the appliance if the condense pipe becomes blocked;
- a safety valve which releases excess pressure from the primary circuit.
1.6 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
The Linea ONE is suitable for use with a range of optional accessories that enable enhanced operation and/or applications. These include:
- external sensor that enables the appliance to automatically adjust its outlet flow temperature in response to the outside temperature
- RF wireless room thermostat.

2.13 PUMP DUTY
Linea ONE boilers are fitted with a variable speed circulation unit that is already connected up in terms of plumbing and electrics, and the usable performance it provides is shown in the graph. The boilers are fitted with an anti-blocking system that starts an operating cycle every 24 hours when not used, irrespective of the position of the function selector.
The “anti-blocking” function is only active when the electrical power supply to the boiler is on.
Operating the circulation system without any water is strictly forbidden.
VARIABLE SPEED CIRCULATION UNIT
The modulating circulating function is only active for the heating function. When switching the three ways on the plate heat exchanger, the circulation unit is set at maximum speed. The modulating circulation function applies only to the boiler circulation unit and not to circulation units on any external devices connected to it (e.g. booster circulation unit). Any of 4 operating modes can be chosen, depending on situations and the type of plant. By accessing parameter 90 in the technical menu, one of the following possibilities can be chosen:
1 - VARIABLE SPEED CIRCULATION UNIT WITH
PROPORTIONAL MODE (41 <= P90 <= 90)
2 - VARIABLE SPEED CIRCULATION UNIT WITH
CONSTANT DT MODE (2 <= P90 <= 40)
3 - VARIABLE SPEED CIRCULATION UNIT WITH MAXIMUM
FIXED MAXIMUM SPEED MODE (P90 = 1)
4 - EXCEPTIONAL USE OF A STANDARD CIRCULATION
UNIT WITHOUT SPEED ADJUSTMENT (P90 = 0)
1 - VARIABLE SPEED CIRCULATION UNIT WITH PROPORTIONAL MODE (41 <= P90 <= 90)
In this mode the boiler’s board determines what flow rate curve to adopt according to the instantaneous power supplied by the boiler. The boiler controller breaks down the power range within which the boiler operates in heating mode into various levels. Depending on the power level in use when heating, one of the speeds available is selected automatically according to a linear logic: Maximum power = high speed, minimum power = low speed. This is used on all types of plants where the machine’s power has been correctly balanced with the plant’s real needs.
Operationally:
- Access parameter 90
- Set the parameter = 41 Note: The parameter 90 = 41 setting is recommended by the manufacturer. Values exceeding 41 are used in specific cases.
2 - VARIABLE SPEED CIRCULATION UNIT WITH CONSTANT DT MODE (2 <= P90 <= 40)
In this mode the installer sets the ΔT value to be maintained between the delivery and return (e.g. if a value of 10 is entered, the circulation unit’s speed will change to implement a plant flow rate aimed at maintaining the ΔT between upstream and downstream of the heat exchanger at 10°C). By periodically sampling the values provided by the boiler delivery/ return sensors, the board increases or decreases the circulation unit’s speed and therefore the plant’s flow rate. If the sampling shows a ΔT value lower than that set, the speed is reduced until the ΔT increases to the value set. Vice-versa is sampling is higher than the value set, the speed is increased. This is used for direct high temperature plants (typical of replacement), where the boiler is not thermostatically controlled, and where a calculated ΔT can be set. When working with a constant delivery temperature and attainment of stabilising the ambient conditions, the average temperature of the

radiators tends to increase. By keeping ÄT constant, the reduction in the flow rate is obtained by changing the operating curve, which produces a lower return temperature that in turn favours high boiler performance and the reduction of electricity consumption. Operationally:
- Access parameter 90
- Set the parameter at a value between 2 and 40 (normally between 10 and 20).
3 - VARIABLE SPEED CIRCULATION UNIT WITH MAXIMUM FIXED MAXIMUM SPEED MODE (P90 = 1)
In this mode the modulating circulation unit works constantly at maximum speed. It is used on plants with a high load loss in which the boiler’s head must be used as much as possible in order to guarantee sufficient circulation (plant flow rate at maximum speed lower than 600 litres per hour). This is used when bottles of mixture are involved, with high flow rates in the circuit downstream. Operationally:
- Access parameter 90
- Set the parameter = 1
4 – EXCEPTIONAL USE OF A STANDARD CIRCULATION UNIT WITHOUT SPEED ADJUSTMENT (P90 = 0)
This mode must be used in exceptional cases in which the boiler is to be used with a traditional circulation unit without a speed adjustment. It presupposes that the adjustable speed circulation unit has been removed and replaced with a non-adjustable speed circulation unit. Warning !!!! the BE06 board connected to
connector CN9 must be removed and replaced with a connector with a jumper to be inserted into connector CN9. This latter connection is obligatory and if not formed may cause the system to malfunction. Operationally:
- Access parameter 90
- Set the parameter = 0

SECTION 3 - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (UK)
This appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations.
3.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS
The installation of this boiler must be in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations, the local building regulations, the current I.E.E. wiring regulations, the bylaws of the local water undertaking, the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulation and Building Standards (Northern Ireland) Regulations. It should be in accordance also with any relevant requirements of the local authority and the relevant recommendations of the following British Standard Codes of Practice.
3.2 LOCATION OF APPLIANCE
The appliance may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the current I.E.E. wiring regulations, and in Scotland, the electrical provisions of the Building Regulations, with respect to the installation of the appliance in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower.
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.
3.3 GAS SUPPLY
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 BS 6891. 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 tightness in accordance with BS6891. 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.
3.4 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 fig. 4). In cold and/or humid weather, water vapour will 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.

AND ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT FOR SEALED WATER SYSTEMS
The guard must be fitted centrally over the terminal. Refer to BS 5440 Part 1, when the terminal is 0.5 metres (or less) below plastic guttering or 1 metre (or less) below painted eaves.
3.5 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.
3.6 WATER CIRCULATION
Detailed recommendations are given in BS 5449 Part 1 and BS
6798. The following notes are for general guidance only.
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’.
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.
3.6.4 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 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 6.18).

5.1 GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
Inspect the entire installation including the gas meter, test for tightness and purge. Refer to BS 6891 for specific instruction
.
5.2 THE HEATING SYSTEM
The appliance contains components that may become damaged or rendered inoperable by oils and/or debris that are residual from the installation of the system, consequently it is essential that the system be flushed in accordance with the following instructions.
5.3 INITIAL FILLING OF THE SYSTEM
Ensure both flow and return service valves are open, remove appliance casing as described in 4.7.1, identify the automatic air release valves (AAV) and loosen the dust cap/s by turning the cap anti-clockwise one full turn.
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. 3, 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 tightness, rectifying any leaks.
5.4 INITIAL FLUSHING OF THE SYSTEM
The whole of the heating system must be flushed both cold and hot as detailed in 5.8. Open all radiator or heating valves and the appliance flow & return service valve. Drain the boiler and system from the lowest points. Open the drain valve full bore to remove any installation debris from the boiler prior to lighting. Refill the boiler and heating system as described in 5.3.
5.5 FILLING THE HOT WATER SYSTEM
Close all hot water outlets, turn appliance stopcock to the normal operating position (fig. 18), slowly open each outlet until air has been expelled and clear water is discharged. Check pipe-work etc. for water tightness.
5.6 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Before attempting the initial lighting of the appliance, the following checks must be carried out:
- ensure all gas service valves from the meter to the appliance are open and the supply pipe has been properly purged;
- ensure the proper electrical checks have been carried out, (see
7.8) particularly continuity, polarity, and resistance to earth;
- ensure the 3 AMP fuse – supplied with the appliance – has been fitted;
- ensure the system has been filled, vented, and the pressure set to 1 BAR;
- ensure the flue system has been fitted properly and in accordance with the instructions;
- ensure all appliance service valves are open.
5.7 INITIAL LIGHTING
Ensure the electrical supply to the appliance is switched on. Press the ON/OFF switch to switch the appliance ON (indicated by active display), ensure any external controls are switched to an ‘ON’ position and are calling for heat.
After being powered, the boiler begins an automatic vent cycle lasting approximately 2 minutes. The display indicates “sf” and the “function selection indicators” light up in sequence. Press the MODE button to interrupt the automatic vent cycle.
Press the heating button, the appliance will now operate in the
Winter
mode as described in 1.2. Should the appliance fail to ignite, refer to 5.6 and/or section 7 (mode of operation, parameter setting, & faultfinding).
5.7.1 CHECKING GAS PRESSURE AND COMBUSTION ANALYSIS
The appliance is factory set and requires no additional adjustment once installed.However to satisfy the requirements of GSIUR 26/9 (I.S. 813 ROI), it will be necessary togas rate the appliance using the gas meter that serves the appliance.If the installation does not include a gas meter (for example LPG) and there are nomeans by which to calculate the gas rate, then a combustion analysis test must becarried out in accordance with BS 7967 (UK) to ensure the appliance is left workingsafely and correctly.Additionally, if the gas valve has been adjusted, replaced, or the appliance has beenconverted for use with another gas type, then it becomes necessary to carry out acombustion analysis/check to ensure that correct combustion is occurring.If there are no means to gas rate the appliance and/or carry out a combustion analysischeck, then it will not be possible to complete the commissioning procedure. Details on how to carry out the combustion analysis can be found in section 7.
IMPORTANT
It’s imperative that a sufficient dynamic – gas – pressure is maintained at all times.Should the dynamic gas pressure fall below an acceptable level, the appliance maymalfunction or sustain damage
5.8 FINAL FLUSHING OF THE HEATING SYSTEM
The system shall be flushed in accordance with BS 7593. Should a cleanser be used, it must be suitable for Copper and Aluminium heat exchangers. It shall be from a reputable manufacturer and shall be administered in strict accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions and the DWTA code of practice.
NOTE
Chemicals used to cleanse the system and/or inhibit corrosion must be pH neutral, i.e. they should ensure that the level of the pH in the system water remains neutral. Premature failure of certain components can occur if the level of pH in the system water is out-with normal levels.

7.2.6 APPLIANCE FUNCTIONS
●●
●●
Comfort button: by pressing the button, Comfort function
enables and the correspondent symbol is displayed. By pressing the
button, domestic hot water is supplied at the ideal temperature for shower; the standard temperature set is actually 40 °C. It is possible to modify Comfort temperature from 35 °C to 45 °C with a 0,5 °C correction. In order to change this temperature, after selecting the function, press the
button and turn the selector A.
The set temperature is displayed. Comfort function avoids searching for the right mix between hot and cold water in order to obtain the right temperature for shower.
Note
The value set is memorized by the boiler, so that, the next time
you select Comfort button, the boiler should be ready to supply the water at the desired temperature.
●●
●●
Memory key: by pressing the button, Memory function
enables and the correspondent symbol is displayed. Memory function simultaneously enables a double electronic intelligence:
• domestic hot water intelligence
• heating intelligence.
DHW Memory
By enabling Memory button, the intelligence of the machine begins to memorize the usage habits of the user. After only one week, Memory function would have already learned the user’s habits of using domestic hot water and therefore should be able to pre-heat it for each request. The pre-heating is performed in the half hour before the request made in the day and at the hour memorized the week before.
Example
Thursday 15th at 7.00 a.m. a domestic hot water request is made. Next Thursday, the 22
nd
, at 6.30 a.m., the boiler performs the pre­heating of domestic hot water. When the user makes the hot water request at 7.00 a.m., finds the water already at the desired temperature. If it is necessary to have pre-heated water besides the usual habits, please use the Touch & Go function. In case the boiler lacks power supply, the data memorized by this function will be lost. When the boiler is power supplied again, Memory function restarts to memorize the habits. In order to benefit by the advantages off Memory function, you have to wait for one week to pass.
CH Memory
By enabling Memory button, the boiler takes in consideration the time that passes from ignition and after 10 minutes increases the delivery temperature memorized with 5 °C. Memory repeats the cycle until the room temperature set on the room thermostat is reached or until the maximum temperature allowed is reached. Due to this automatic function, it is possible to select lower delivery temperatures and at the same time to reduce the time for reaching the set room temperature.
●●
●●
SARA function: while adjusting the heating temperature, from
the minimum value 40°C to the maximum value 80°C, the field where the H.T.C. system enables is met: Heating Temperature Control (from 55°C to 65°C). The H.T.C. system autonomously manages the delivery tempe­rature, adapting the boiler’s operation to meet the dwelling’s real needs. When the heat need extends, the delivery temperature increases allowing a faster heating of the environment. Once the desired comfort is reached, the system restores the delivery temperature to the value set at the beginning. All this assures minor consumptions, minor limestone deposits in the boiler and minor thermal ranges in the radiators.

●●
●●
Touch & Go Function: if you don’t wish to keep the Memory function always enabled or if you need hot water to be ready fast besides the usual habits memorized, it is possible to perform the domestic hot water pre-heating only a few moments before the request. Due to Touch & Go function, by turning on and off the tap the instantaneous pre-heating function enables, which prepares hot water only for that request.
●●
●●
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 7°C, the valve actuator will motor to the heating position. Should the temperature of the primary ther­mistor exceed 10°C during this period, the cycle will be aborted. If the temperature drops below 4°C, the boiler will operate on minimum power until the temperature of the primary thermistor reaches 30°C. Thereafter the pump & fan will over-run for 30­seconds.
●●
●●
Pump/actuator anti-block cycle: when there has been no
heating or HW request for 24-hours, the anti-block 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.
7.2.7 HEATING MODE
Press the button to select the heating mode: the display will show boths layers. The valve actuator will motor to the heating position and the pump
and fan will be activated via the flow temperature sensor. When the fan is sensed to be operating correctly, the ignition sequence commences. 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 (adjustable, see parameter 28, cap. 7.3.1) the gas rate is increased to maximum (100%). The speed of the fan and therefore the output of the boiler is determined by the temperature of the water sensed by the flow temperature sensor, consequently a high temperature at the flow sensor results in a lower fan speed. As the water temperature increases, the temperature sensors – located on the flow pipe of the boiler – reduce the fan speed via the electronic circuitry. Depending on the load, either the water temperature will continue to rise until the set point is achieved or the water temperature will fall whereby fan speed will increase relative to the output required. When the boiler has reached the set point, the burner will switch off. The built-in anti-cycle device prevents the burner from re-lighting for an adjustable period of time (factory default is 5 minutes). When the temperature of the flow sensor falls below the set-point, the burner will re-light.
NOTE
If the spark/sensing electrode does not sense ignition the appliance will re-attempt ignition a further 4-times then go to lockout.
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. A new ignition sequence will be enabled when the 5-minute anti-cycle has been performed and the temperature at the primary ther­mistor has dropped 6°C below the set-point.
NOTES
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.
7.2.8 DHW MODE
Press the key to select the DHW mode: the display will show only the DHW layer. The valve actuator will motor to the HW position (if a heating request was active) and the pump and fan will be activated via the flow temperature sensor. When the fan is sensed to be operating correctly, the ignition sequence commences. 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 set­point (the position of the DHW temperature selector) as measured at the DHW 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 set­point + 4°C, whereby a new ignition sequence will be enabled. If the TSC function is active the set point will be overridden until/ unless the appliance reaches the maximum operating temperature. When the request for DHW has been satisfied, the appliance fan may continue to operate to dissipate any residual heat from within the appliance.
7.2.9 ADJUSTING HEATING TEMPERATURE WITH AN EXTERNAL PROBE CONNECTED
When an external probe is connected, the value of the delivery temperature is automatically chosen by the system which rapidly adjusts the room temperature according to the variations in external temperature. The external probe symbol appears on display and just the central segment of the heating bar lights up. If you want to adjust the temperature value, by increasing or increasing it given the value automatically calculated by the electronic board, proceed as follows:
- press the heating temperature adjustment key
, the number
corresponding to the set comfort level will appear on the two digits B (standard setting)
- turn the selector A to increase or decrease the comfort level (the
number corresponding to the selected comfort level will appear on the two digits +1, +2 etc or -1, -2 etc). The illuminated segment of the heating bar will increase or decrease. Correction tolerance lies between - 5 and + 5 comfort.
These corrections are very important between seasons, when the value calculated by the curve could result too low and therefore the time for reaching the set room temperature could be too long. After 3 seconds from the last adjustment, the value is automatically memorized and the display shows again the value recorded instantaneously by the probe.
Adjusting domestic hot water temperature
- Press the
key and turn the selector A to select desired
domestic hot water temperature. The big digits will light up on display, indicating the selected temperature value. After a few seconds the display will show again the delivery temperature, effectively recorded by the boiler’s probe.

7.5 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 CO
2
values are set correctly (see 7.4).
- Insert the flue gas analyser probe into the flue gas test point (see fig. 37).
- Operate the boiler in HH - LL and compare the values with those shown in 7.4.6. If different adjust the gas valve according to 7.4.6. and 7.4.7.
7.6 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 re­charging takes place. Replace the dust cap and carry out the relevant commissioning procedure (section 5).
7.7 EXTERNAL FAULTS
Before carrying out any faultfinding or component replacement, ensure the fault is not attributable to any aspect of the installation.
7.7.1 INSTALLATION FAULTS
7.8 ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Any electrical checks must be carried out by a suitably qualified person.
7.8.1 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.
7.8.2 SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, and using a suitable multi-meter, carry out a short circuit test between the Live & Neutral connections at the appliance terminal strip. Repeat above test on the Live & Earth connections at the appliance terminal strip.
NOTE
Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated, a detailed continuity check will be required to trace the fault. A visual inspection of components may also assist in locating the fault.
7.8.3 POLARITY CHECK
With the appliance connected to the electrical supply and using a suitable multimeter, carry out the following voltage tests:
- connect test leads between the Live & Neutral connections at the appliance terminal strip. The meter should read approximately 230V ac. If so proceed to next stage. If not, see 7.8.4.
- connect test leads between the Live & Earth connections at the appliance terminal strip. The meter should read approximately 230V ac. If so proceed to next stage. If not, see 7.8.4.
- connect test leads between the Neutral & Earth connections at the appliance terminal strip. The meter should read approximately 0 – 15Vac. If so polarity is correct. If not, see 7.8.4.
7.8.4 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.
7.8.5 RESISTANCE TO EARTH CHECK
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, and using a suitable multi-meter carry out a resistance tes. Connect test leads between the Live & Earth connections at the appliance terminal strip (fig. 17). 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.
7.9 FAULT FINDING
Before attempting any faultfinding, the electrical checks as detailed in 7.8 must be carried out.
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply. Disconnect any external controls from terminal plug M6, and insert a link-wire between the two Black wires at terminal plug M6.
NOTE
Restore the electrical supply to the boiler and turn the selector switch to the on position. The boiler should now function as described in section 7.2. 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.
7.10 TEMPORARY FAULT CODES
The built-in fault diagnostic system automatically displays a unique faul code that can be used to determine why the boiler has temporarily locked out. When the boiler displays a temporary fault code, the appropriate code is shown flashing on the display, accompanied by the symbol .
7.11 FINAL FAULT CODES
When the boiler displays a final fault code, the appropriate code is shown flashing on the display, accompanied by the symbol (RESET).
7.11.1 CODE ERROR +
(RESET) ONLY
To reset the boiler, push
button. If the boiler starts without any
problems, the lock-out is probably due to an accidental situation.
7.11.2 CODE ERROR + (RESET) + Refer to the following section and the detailed fault finding flow-
charts overleaf.

10.3 CONVERTING THE APPLIANCE GAS TYPE
To convert the appliance to another gas type it is necessary to change the burner injector and adjust the gas valve. It is also necessary to enter the appliance engineer mode and change the fan speed at the maximum output.
- To change the injector see 6.12.1
- To change parameters see 7.3.1
- To adjust CO
2
value see 7.4.1-2
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 tightness.
10.6 ADJUSTING THE GAS VALVE
THE GAS VALVE MUST BE SET-UP OR ADJUSTED WITH THE AID OF A PROPERLY CALIBRATED FLUE GAS ANALYSER.
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply and remove the appliance casing as described in 4.7.1. Set the flue gas analyser to read CO
2
and insert the probe into the flue analysis test point (see fig. 1). Restore the electrical supply to the boiler and switch off the boiler. Push
and buttons at the same time for 3 seconds to enter the adjusting menu. The display shows “CodE”. Select the adjusting password by turning the encoder and confirm it by pushing ENTER button.
10.6.1 MAXIMUM SETTING
Select the HH parameter by turning the encoder and confirm it by pushing ENTER button. The boiler starts at the maximum power, the CO
2
reading should be as shown in the table above.
If the CO
2
reading is correct, press the ENTER button to exit the
maximum setting. If the CO
2
reading is incorrect, the maximum gas
pressure must be adjusted as follows:
- using a suitable screwdriver, very slowly turn the maximum adjustment screw (see fig. 42) – clockwise to decrease, counter clockwise to increase – until the correct value is displayed on the CO
2
analyser (allow time for the analyser to stabilise).
IMPORTANT A GAS TIGHTNESS CHECK MUST BE CARRIED OUT.
10.6.2 MINIMUM SETTING
Select the LL parameter by turning the encoder and confirm it by pushing ENTER button. The boiler starts at the minimum power, the CO
2
reading should be as shown in the table above. If the CO2 reading is correct, press the ENTER button to exit the minimum setting. If the CO
2
reading is incorrect, the minimum gas
pressure must be adjusted as follows:
- using a suitable screwdriver, very slowly turn the minimum
adjustment screw (see fig. 42) – clockwise to increase, counter clockwise to decrease – until the correct value is displayed on the CO
2
analyser (allow time for the analyser to stabilise).
- using the procedure detailed in 9.6.1, check that the maximum
setting correct value is still being obtained. If not, repeat the above procedure.
