BENCHMARK
LOG BOOK
The
Benchmark
Log Book is supplied with your
boiler. This important document must be
completed during the installation/commissioning
of your boiler. All CORGI Registered Installers
carry a CORGI ID card and have a registration
number. Both should be recorded in your
Benchmark
Log Book. You can check your
installer by calling CORGI direct 01256 372300.
Failure to install and commission the appliance in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions
may invalidate the warranty. This does not affect
your statutory rights.
1.5 HOW DOES IT WORK?
Your Pinnacle boiler is a high efficiency central
heating boiler, which supplies heated water to
your radiators and hot water cylinder.
The central heating and hot water is controlled via
a programmer and any thermostats that your
installer may have fitted. The Pinnacle boiler
1.8 FROST PROTECTION SYSTEM
The Pinnacle is equipped with a built-in frost
protection system, this enables the boiler to override the time controls – if switched off – and
operate the burner and/or pump, should the
temperature drop below 7 °C.
Please note that the frost protection system is
designed to protect the appliance only, should
frost protection be required for the central heating
system, additional controls may be required.
NOTE
The frost protection system is reliant on the
appliance having a permanent electrical supply,
and being in a non-fault condition.
GETTING STARTED
2.1 BEFORE SWITCHING ON
Before switching the appliance on please
familiarise yourself with:
● how to isolate the appliance from the gas,
water, and electricity supplies;
● how to check and top-up – if necessary – the
system water pressure;
● the time clock or programmer;
● any external thermostats and their functions;
● the appliance controls.
2.2 APPLIANCE CONTROLS (fig. 1)
The appliance controls are concealed behind the
front cover. To gain access to the controls simply
press the cover inwards to release the catch. The
appliance is equipped with a simple keypad that
can be used to alter the following function:
● the outlet flow temperature to the central heating
system and hot water cylinder;
The pressure gauge shows the current pressure
of the system, the gauge should be set between
1 and 1.5 bar. When the appliance is operating
the gauge may rise or fall slightly, this is quite
normal. The minimum permissible level for the
safe and efficient operation of the appliance is 0.5
bar. Should the pressure fall below 0.5 bar, the
boiler may lockout.
Depending on the type of controls specified by
your installer you may have an integral Vokera
time clock fitted to the appliance, if so, instructions
can be found on page 8-9. If an external time
clock or programmer has been fitted, please refer
to the instructions supplied with such.
lights electronically and does not have a pilot
light. In the unlikely event of a fault developing
with your boiler, the supply of gas to the burner
will be terminated automatically.

2.3 LIGHTING THE BOILER
Ensure the gas and electrical supply to the boiler
are turned on. The boiler will now go through a
self-test and purge sequence indicated by the
letter ‘A’ shown on the left side of the digital
display.
2.3.1 ON/OFF MODES
The heating mode can be switched ON or OFF
at the boiler irrespective of the current
programmer setting. This is indicated by the
status LED (fig. 1).
If the status LED is permanently illuminated green,
this indicates that the heating mode is enabled
and is controlled via the programmer and any
external controls such as a room thermostat or
cylinder thermostat.
If the status LED is flashing green, the boiler will
not respond to any heat requests from the
programmer or room thermostat etc. (only frost
protection is active).
To switch the heating mode ON or OFF, press
and hold the button (fig. 2) whilst looking at
the digital display:
●
c OF
indicates the heating mode is switched
OFF
●
c 55
(or any other number, indicating the central
heating operating temperature), indicates the
heating mode is switched ON.
2.3.2 HEATING REQUEST
When there is a demand for heating via the
programmer, the boiler will go through an ignition
sequence, whereby the burner will light. When
the appliance reaches the set temperature, the
burner will go off for minimum period of
approximately 90 seconds. When the
programmer/time clock or external thermostats
heating request has been satisfied, the appliance
will switch off automatically.
NOTE
If the appliance fails to ignite during the ignition
sequence, it will re-attempt ignition several times
before going to a lockout condition. Should this
occur, please allow a period of two minutes
before re-setting.
2.3.3 STATUS LED (fig. 1)
The appliance status LED indicates whether the
boiler is in OFF mode, ON mode or fault condition.
Status LED flashing Green
Indicates the appliance is in the OFF mode, with
electrical supply and frost protection active.
Status LED permanently Green*
Indicates the appliance is ON mode, with heating
or hot water or both activated.
Status LED permanently Red
This indicates that the appliance is in a permanent
fault condition and may require to be reset
(indicated by the relevant fault code displayed)
see section 2.6.

condition.

2.4 ADJUSTING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Usually your installer will have adjusted the
operating temperatures to suit your requirements,
however should you wish to view or alter them,
please use the following procedure:
Operating temperature
● to view or alter the heating operating
temperature, briefly press the button;
● the operating temperature will be shown on the
right side of the display (see fig. 2);
● use the
+
or - button to adjust the operating
temperature if required;
● press the button to save the new setting.
2.5 DIGITAL DISPLAY
The digital display shows the current mode of
operation and/or status of the boiler.
Should a fault develop, the display will show a
unique fault code that can be used to help rectify
the cause of the fault. During the normal operation,
the left side of the display indicates the current
mode of operation, whilst the right side will show
the current temperature.
Displays during normal operation
Should a fault occur, the left side of the display will
show whether the fault is temporary or permanent
(indicated by ‘b’ or ‘E’), whilst the right side of the
display indicates the unique fault code.
Should a fault code be displayed, check the
fault code table to identify the cause and
course of action to take. Always wait 2minutes before pressing the reset button.
