SECTION 1 DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE
1.1 PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS
A fully integrated electronic control board
featuring differential temperature control, continuous air/gas modulation, anti-cycle control, pump over-run, self-diagnostic fault indicator, electronic ignition with flame supervision & appliance frost protection
Cast aluminium mono-block heat exchanger
Low Nox burner with pre-mix

1.2 MODE OF OPERATION (at rest)
When there is no demand for heating or hot water and the appliance remains inactive for a period of 24 hours, the pump will be energised for a few moments to prevent it from seizing. Should the flow temperature sensor fall below 7 ºC the pump will be energised. If the flow sensor temperature falls to below 3 ºC the burner will be lit and the appliance will operate at the minimum output until the temperature of the flow sensor reaches 10 ºC, whereupon the pump will continue to run in pump over-run mode.
differential is inverted;
a fan speed sensor that checks the correct
operation of the fan, thereby allowing safe operation of the burner;
a condense pressure switch that will stop the
burner from operating should the condense trap become blocked;
a safety valve which releases excess pressure
from the primary circuit.

1.3 MODE OF OPERATON (heating or hot water request)
When there is a request for heat via the time clock and/or external controls, the pump will start and the fan will be activated via the flow temperature sensor. When the fan is sensed to be operating correctly, the ignition sequence commences. The speed of the fan and therefore the output of the boiler is determined by the temperature of the water sensed by the flow & return temperature sensors, 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 and return pipes 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 re­lighting for an adjustable period of time (factory default is 3 minutes). When the temperature of the flow sensor falls below the set-point, the burner will re-light.

4.4 PREPARATION FOR MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE
The appliance should be mounted on a smooth, vertical, non-combustible 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 wall- mounting bracket (fig. 6A) and flue-hole (if applicable).
4.5 FITTING THE FLUE
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.
4.5.1 CONCENTRIC HORIZONTAL FLUE
(For concentric vertical flue, see section 4.5.2). (For twin flue applications, see section 4.5.3). 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 section 2.9). A reduction must also be made to the maximum length (see table below) when additional bends are used.

Using the template provided (fig. 6A), mark and drill a 125 mm hole for the passage of the flue pipe. The hole should have a 1º rise from the boiler to outside.
The fixing holes for the wall-mounting bracket 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.
FITTING THE HORIZONTAL FLUE KIT
Using a twisting motion, connect the boiler top adaptor – supplied with the flue terminal kit – to the appliance flue outlet ensuring the male spigot of the adaptor is pushed fully into the flue outlet spigot of the boiler (fig. 7). Carefully measure the distance from the centre of the appliance flue outlet to the edge of the finished outside wall (dimension X). Add 45 mm to dimension X to give you Dimension Y (fig 7A). Measure dimension Y from the terminal end of the concentric flue pipe and cut off the excess. Pass the concentric flue pipe through the previously drilled hole. Fit the flue bend to the boiler top

4.5.3 TWIN FLUE SYSTEM
The Vokera twin flue system enables greater flue distances to be achieved (see section 2.9) 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.
GUIDANCE NOTES ON TWIN FLUE INST ALLATION
The flue must have a fall back of 1º back to the
appliance to allow any condensate that forms in the flue system to 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.
Extreme care must be taken to ensure that no
debris is allowed to enter the flue system at any time.
As the exhaust outlet pipe can reach very high
temperatures it must be protected to prevent persons touching the hot surface.

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 and/or set-up 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
7.2.1 START-UP
When power is first supplied to the appliance it will go through a self-purge procedure whereby the pump and fan will be momentarily energised. The boiler will then operate in either one of the following modes:
Stand-by
Heating mode
7.2.2 STAND-BY
When there is no demand for heating or hot water. And the appliance remains inactive for a period of 24 hours, the pump will be energised for a few moments to prevent it from seizing. Should the flow temperature sensor fall below 7 °C the pump will be energised. If the flow sensor temperature falls to below 3 °C the burner will be lit and the appliance will operate at the minimum output until the temperature of the flow sensor reaches 10 °C, whereupon the pump will continue to run in pump over-run mode.
7.2.3 CENTRAL HEATING MODE
When there is a request for heat via the time clock and/or external controls the motorised valve and pump will go through a self-test function this is to ensure correct operation and valve configuration. Once the self-test function is complete, 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. The speed of the fan and therefore the output of the boiler is determined by the temperature of the water sensed by the flow & return temperature sensors, 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 and return pipes 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 re­lighting for an adjustable period of time (factory default is 92 seconds). When the temperature of the flow sensor falls below the set-point, the burner will re-light.
7.3 SERVICE PARAMETERS (5 – 42)

7.4 ADJUSTING THE GAS VALVE The gas valve must be set-up or adjusted with
the aid of o properly calibrated flue gas analyser.
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply and remove the appliance casing as described in section
4.10. Unclip and remove the front air chamber cover. Set the flue gas analyser to read CO2 and insert
the probe into the flue analysis test point (fig. 1). Restore the electrical supply to the boiler and
generate a request for central heating via the room thermostat and/or timer.
Press the
mode
and
buttons at the same
-
time, the boiler will now run at minimum power for 15 minutes.
Consequently, by pressing the buttons at the same time, the boiler will run on
maximum power for 15 minutes.
7.4.1 MINIMUM SETTING
With the boiler operating at minimum output the CO2 reading should be 9.8% (+/- 0.2%). If the CO reading is correct, proceed to section 7.4.2. If the CO2 reading is incorrect, the minimum gas pressure must be adjusted as follows:
Using a suitable screwdriver, very slowly turn
the minimum adjustment screw (fig. 30) – clockwise to increase, counter clockwise to decrease – until the correct value is displayed on the CO2 analyser (allow time for the analyser to stabilise).
Using the procedure detailed in section 7.4,
change the fan speed momentarily from minimum to maximum, then back to minimum.
Check that the correct value is still being
obtained. If not, repeat the above procedure.
7.4.2 MAXIMUM SETTING
The maximum setting must only be checked and/ or adjusted after the correct minimum setting has been verified. Using the procedure detailed in section 7.4, change the power from minimum to maximum.
With the boiler operating at maximum output the CO2 reading should be 9.8% (+/- 0.2%). If the
CO2 reading is correct, press the + and buttons at the same time to return to the normal
mode

7.11 ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Any electrical checks must be carried out by a suitably qualified person.
7.11.1 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.
7.11.2 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 input board (fig.14). Repeat above test on the Live & Earth connections at the appliance input board (fig.14).
NOTE
Should it be found that a 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.
7.11.3 POLARITY CHECK
With the appliance connected to the electrical supply and using a suitable multi-meter, carry out the following voltage tests:
connect test leads between the Live & Neutral
connections at the appliance input board (fig.14). The meter should read approximately 230V ac. If so proceed to next stage. If not, see section
7.11.4.
connect test leads between the Live & Earth
connections at the appliance input board (fig.14) the meter should read approximately 230V ac. If so proceed to next stage. If not, see section
7.11.4.
connect test leads between the Neutral & Earth
connections at the appliance input board (fig.14) the meter should read approximately 0 – 15Vac. If so polarity is correct. If not, see section
7.11.4.
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.
7.11.5 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 input board (fig.14). 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 fault-finding 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.
7.11.6 FUSES
The appliance is equipped with spare fuses. These fuses are located on the covers of the input board and main PCB respectively. If a fuse has blown it is usually indicative of an external wiring fault or a faulty component such as the pump, fan, valve actuator, etc. Under no circumstances should a blown fuse be replaced with one of a higher rating.
7.12 FAULT FINDING BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY FAULT
DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIR THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT:

10.3 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.
10.4 GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
The entire installation including the meter, must be purged and checked for gas soundness.
10.5 ADJUSTING THE GAS VALVE The gas valve must be set-up or adjusted with the aid of a properly calibrated flue gas analyser.
Remove the appliance casing as detailed in section 4.10. Unclip and remove the air chamber cover. Set the flue gas analyser to read CO2 and insert the probe into the flue analysis test point (see fig.1). Using the procedure as detailed in section 7, enter the appliance service mode and set the power to minimum.
10.5.1 MINIMUM SETTING
With the boiler operating at minimum output the CO2 reading should be 9.8% (+/- 0.2%). If the CO reading is correct, proceed to 10.5.2. If the CO reading is incorrect, the minimum gas pressure must be adjusted as follows:
using a suitable screwdriver, very slowly turn the
minimum adjustment screw (fig. 30) – clockwise to increase, counter clockwise to decrease – until the correct value is displayed on the CO2 analyser (allow time for the analyser to stabilise).
using the procedure as detailed in section 7,
change the power momentarily from minimum to maximum, then back to minimum.
check that the correct value is still being
obtained. If not, repeat the above procedure.
10.5.2 MAXIMUM SETTING
The maximum setting must only be checked and/ or adjusted after the correct minimum setting has been verified. Using the procedure as detailed in section 7, change the power from minimum to maximum.
With the boiler operating at maximum output the CO2 reading should be 9.8% (+/- 0.2%). If the CO
reading is correct, press the exit the appliance engineer mode. If the CO
reading is incorrect, the maximum gas pressure must be adjusted as follows:
using a suitable screwdriver, very slowly turn
the maximum adjustment screw (fig. 33) – clockwise to increase, counter clockwise to decrease – until the correct value is displayed on the CO2 analyser (allow time for the analyser to stabilise).
using the procedure as detailed in section 7,
change the power momentarily from maximum to minimum, then back to maximum.
check that the correct value is still being
obtained. If not, repeat the above procedure.

press the
service mode.
Remove the analyser test probe from the analysis test point and refit cap. Refit the air chamber cover. Refit appliance casing.
NOTE
You should ensure that all radiators or heat emitters are fully open during the above procedures. This will ensure that the power (output) of the boiler is not compromised due to a high flow temperature.
