INTRODUCTION

The Unica BHE is a high-efficiency combination boiler with an output to DHW of 32kW. This appliance – by design – incorporates electronic ignition, circulating pump, expansion vessel, safety valve, pressure gauge and automatic bypass. The Unica is produced as room sealed, category II2H3P appliances, suitable for internal and external wall mounting applications. Each appliance is provided with a fan powered flue outlet with an annular co-axial combustion air intake that can be rotated – horizontally – through 360 degrees for various horizontal or vertical applications. The Unica BHE can also be used with the Vokera twin flue system.

fig. 1

The Unica BHE is approved for use with B23, C13 & C33 type flue applications. These appliances are designed for use with a sealed system only; consequently they are not intended for use on open vented systems. This booklet is an integral part of the appliance. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the booklet is handed to the person responsible for the property in which the appliance is located/installed. A replacement copy can be obtained from Vokera customer services. There are no banned substances used in the manufacture of these appliances.

SECTION 1 DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE

1.1 PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS

• A fully integrated electronic control board featuring electronic temperature control, anti-cycle control, pump over-run, self-diagnostic fault indicator, full air/gas modulation.

• Radial aluminium heat exchanger.

• Electronic ignition with flame supervision

• Integral high-head pump

• Fan

• Expansion vessel

• Water pressure switch

• Condensate level sensor

• Pressure gauge

• Safety valve

1.2 MODE OF OPERATION (at rest)

When the appliance is at rest and there are no requests for heating or hot water, the following functions are active:

• frost-protection system – the frost-protection system protects the appliance against the risk of frost damage both for CH and DHW. For CH line, if the main temperature falls to 6°C, the appliance will function on minimum power until the temperature on main reaches 35°C. Moreover if the DHW temperature falls to 4°C, the appliance will function on minimum power until the temperature on main reaches 55°C.

• anti-block function – the anti-block function enables the pump and divertor valve actuator to be energised for short periods, when the appliance has been inactive for more than 24-hours.

1.3 MODE OF OPERATION (Heating)

When there is a request for heat via the 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 circuit 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.

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.

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;

• fan speed sensor to ensure safe operation of the burner;

• a high limit thermostat that over-rides the temperature control circuit to prevent or interrupt the operation of the burner;

• flame sensor that will shut down the burner when no flame signal is detected;

• 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.

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 (28HE) or 10 (32 & 36HE) 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 6.19).

3.6.6 FILLING POINT

A method for initial filling of the system and replacing water lost during servicing etc. directly from the mains supply , is provided (see fig. 5). This method of filling complies with the current Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and Water Bylaws 2000 (Scotland). If an alternative location is preferred, it should be connected as detailed in fig.5.

Due to the weight of the appliance it may be necessary for two people to lift and attach the appliance to its mounting. The appliance is contained within a heavy-duty cardboard carton. Lay the carton on the floor with the writing the correct way up.

4.1.2 APPLICATION

The Unica BHE can be installed within the property or external to the property. Although the appliance is certified IPx5D, if it’s to be installed externally, it may be necessary to provide reasonable protection from heavy or persistent rain however this will be purely dependant on the location of the appliance and local conditions. Alternatively, the appliance enclosure (see fig 1B) can be used (not supplied).

4.2 CONTENTS

Contained within the carton is:

• the boiler

• the wall bracket & fixing jig

• template

• an accessories pack containing appliance serv-

ice connections and washers

• the instruction pack containing the installation & servicing instructions, user instructions, guarantee registration card and a 3-amp fuse.

4.3 UNPACKING

At the top of the carton pull both sides open – do not use a knife – unfold the rest of the carton from around the appliance, carefully remove all protective packaging from the appliance and lay the accessories etc. to one side. Protective gloves should be used to lift the appliance, the appliance back-frame should be used for lifting points.

4.3.2 PREPARATION FOR MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE (external application) The appliance and/or the appliance enclosure

should be mounted on a smooth, vertical, noncombustible surface, which must be capable of supporting the full weight of the appliance and/ or enclosure. 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 (see fig. 6) and flue-hole (if applicable).

4.3.3 IMPORTANT

The Unica BHE can be used on various applications

(4.1.2). The following instructions relate to external applications, i.e. external to the property or dwelling.

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 (see fig. 8) and flue-hole (if applicable). If you intend to run the pipe-work vertically behind the boiler, move the screws on the fixing jig from the default position (No. 3) to position No. 5. You will also require a spacer kit, part No. 435 (see 4.6).

4.4.1 EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS USING THE ENCLOSURE

The Unica BHE boiler can be used withthe enclosure (fig 1B). The Enclosure has been designed to be recessed into an external wall or surface to give a flush finish. It can however, be mounted onto an external wall if required. Should this application be preferred, it’s recommended that any openings on the top of the enclosure are sealed with a suitable silicone sealant in order to minimise the ingress or rainwater. The use of the enclosure allows the installation pipework to be installed prior to the appliance being installed. Due to the enclosure being installed external to the property, the flueing arrangements for the appliance can be simplified.

PREPARATION

Refer to the enclosure instructions (supplied) for specific installation instructions and details on the required size of opening. The enclosure is supplied with ‘knock-out’ panels that allow the appliance flue outlet to routed to the left, right, or vertically. In addition, the flue can be routed through the front of the enclosure. The route and termination of the flue outlet must be considered prior to the installation of the enclosure. Refer to the relevant sections within this installation booklet and the enclosure instructions for guidance, and Install the pipework and electrical supply prior to the fixing of the enclosure. Additionally, if the flue system is to be routed within the fabric of the property, then it’s advisable to carry this out before fitting the enclosure. At this point it will be necessary to remove the ‘knock-out’ panels that are specific to the route of the flue system and pipework.

FIXING

Secure the enclosure to the wall using the relevant fixing points, taking care to ensure that it is level and corresponds to the pre-installed pipework and/ or flue system. Alternatively the enclosure can be secured to an external wall by modifying the rear panel to accept fixing screws or bolts.

MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE

Mount the appliance onto the enclosure as indicated in the enclosure instructions.

4.4.2 EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS WITHOUT THE ENCLOSURE

The Unica boiler can be installed without the requirement of an enclosure providing that some form of protection is used to minimise the risk of water penetration into the appliance (see fig 9A).

PREPARATION

Using the template and details in figure 6 and 7 as a guide, secure the appliance wall bracket to the external wall and mount the appliance to the wall bracket.

Should the appliance fail to ignite, refer to 5.6 and/ or section 7 (mode of operation, parameter setting & faultfinding).

5.7 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 to gas 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 no means by which to calculate the gas rate, then a combustion analysis test must be carried out in accordance with BS 7967 (UK) to ensure the appliance is left working safely and correctly. Additionally, if the gas valve has been adjusted, replaced, or the appliance has been converted for use with another gas type, then it becomes necessary to carry out a combustion 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 analysis check, 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 may malfunction or sustain damage.

5.8 FINAL FLUSHING OF THE HEATING SYSTEM

The system shall be flushed in accordance with BS 7593 (I.S. 813 ROI). Should a cleanser be used, it must be suitable for 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.

5.8.1 INHIBITORS

See Section 3 “General Requirements”.

5.9 SETTING THE FLOW OUTLET TEMPERATURE

The flow outlet temperature can be adjusted between 40 °C - 80 °C for standard CH system and between 20 °C - 45 °C for under-floor systems by using the Heating thermostat knob (see fig.1).

5.9.1 SETTING THE DHW OUTLET TEMPERATURE

The DHW outlet temperature can be adjusted between 35 °C - 60 °C via the DHW thermostat knob (see fig.1).

5.10 SETTING THE SYSTEM DESIGN PRESSURE

The design pressure should be a minimum of 0.5 BAR and a maximum of 1.5 BAR. The actual reading should ideally be 1 BAR plus the equivalent height in metres (0.1 BAR = 1 metre) to the highest point in 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 3 BAR/30 metres/45 psig. To lower the system pressure to the required value, drain off some water from the appliance drain valve until the required figure registers on the pressure gauge (see fig. 1).

5.11 REGULATING THE CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM

Fully open all radiator and circuit valves and run the appliance for both heating and hot water until heated water is circulating. If conditions are warm remove any thermostatic heads. Adjust radiator return valves and any branch circuit return valves until the individual return temperatures are correct and are approximately equal.

5.11.1 REGULATING THE DHW FLOW-RATE

The appliance is fitted with a flow rate restrictor that limits the maximum flow rate that can be drawn through the appliance. The restrictor eliminates the need to manually adjust the DHW flow rate. However if it is felt necessary to further increase or decrease the available flow rate, spare restrictors are included in the accessory pack. The spare flow rate restrictors can be fitted to either increase or decrease the maximum flow rate. The tables overleaf denote the size of restrictor fitted and the spare restrictors supplied in the accessory pack. Each restrictor is colour-coded to enable identification.

5.11.2 CHANGING THE FLOW-RATE RESTRICTOR

Refer to 6.27 for detailed instruction on changing the flow restrictor.

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 tightness, water tightness and the electrical integrity of the appliance.

7.2 APPLIANCE MODES OF OPERATION NOTE

There must be sufficient system water pressure (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 and the low-pressure fault code will be displayed. The 2-digit display can show several different modes of operation:

Standby/OFF mode

Frost protection mode activ e

Combustion analysis mode active

Autostop function active

Normal heating request (example 60oC).

Normal DHW request (example 60oC).

7.2.1 SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE OFF/RESET POSITION

When the selector switch is in the OFF/RESET position, the following functions are active.

Active functions:

• frost-protection system

• pump & fan anti-block

7.2.1 ON-BOARD FUNCTIONS

• THERMOREGULATION: when an external sen-

sor is connected to the appliance, the electronic circuitry will automatically adjust the flow outlet temperature to suit local weather conditions in order to maintain comfort and efficiency. A specific operating curve that is most suited to the system type and geographical area can also be selected.

• OPENTHERM +: OT+ is a communication pro-

tocol that enables the boiler to be linked or connected to other OT+ controls. These controls have been designed to further increase fuel

economy by ensuring the boiler remains in the modulation phase during any heating requests. This reduces the amount of ON/OFF periods and therefore increases fuel efficiency.

• AUTOSTOP: further information on the AUTOSTOP function, can be obtained from your local Vokera Sales Representative.

• CO FUNCTION: the CO function when activated, will allow the appliance to run at maximum and minimum output whilst a combustion analysis check is being carried out. Whilst the CO function is active, all other functions are disabled (minimum power operating period, anticycle, set-point, etc). Once enabled, the CO function will remain active for a 15-minute period, or until the function is manually deactivated

• FROST-PROTECTION: this function is only active when there are no requests for heating or HW. If the temperature drops below 6°C, the boiler will operate on minimum power until the temperature of the primary thermistor reaches 35°C. Thereafter the pump & fan will over-run for 30-seconds.

• ANTI-CYCLE FUNCTION: the anti-cycle func- tion ensures the burner remains switched off for at least 3-minutes after the set-point hysterisis (set-point + 5-deg).

• PUMP ANTI-BLOCK FUNCTION: when there has been no heating or HW request for 24-hours, the anti-block cycle is activated. The pump will be activated for a period of 30-seconds.

• ACTUATOR ANTI-BLOCK FUNCTION: when there has been no heating or HW request for 24hours, the anti-block cycle is activated. The divertor valve actuator will motor briefly to the heating position, and then back to the DHW position.

• DHW PRE-HEAT FUNCTION: when the mode selector switch is in the DHW pre-heat position, the appliance will light periodically to maintain the temperature of the DHW heat exchanger. When the DHW thermistor and the primary thermistor fall below 35oC and 55oC respectively, the boiler will fire on minimum +25% power until the primary thermistor exceeds 55oC. Thereafter the pump will over-run for a period of 30-seconds.

7.2.5 HEATING MODE

With the selector switch in the heating & hot water position and any additional controls (time clock, programmer, room thermostat, etc.) calling for heat, the appliance will operate in the heating mode. The pump and f an will be activated via the flow temperature sensor . When the fan is sensed to be operating correctly (tacho signal), the ignition sequence commences. Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuit 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. 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. De-

IGN

ture 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 (+ hysterisis), the burner will switch off. The built-in anti-cycle device prevents the burner from re-lighting for approximately 3-minutes. When the temperature of the flow sensor falls below the set point (- hysterisis), 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 setpoint 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 5°C (hysterisis), the burner will shut down. 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 5°C (hysterisis) below the set-point.

7.2.5 DHW MODE

With the selector switch in either the hot water only or heating & hot water position, the appliance will operate in the hot water mode whenever a DHW outlet is opened. A flow rate exceeding 2litres per minute will activate the DHW flow switch whereupon the pump and fan will be activated via the flow temperature sensor. When the fan is sensed to be operating correctly (tacho signal), 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 circuit allows the gas rate to achieve the modulation value.

NOTE

When the request for heating and/or hot water has been satisfied, the appliance pump and fan may continue to circulate to dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.

7.3 APPLIANCE FAN SPEEDS

The appliance fan speeds require to be checked and/or adjusted prior to making any adjustments to the gas valve or if the main PCB has been replaced.

ATTENTION Gas type and appliance fan speed (output) must be set according to the specific appliance speci-

fication. Vokera accepts no responsibility if the gas type and/or fan speed is not correctly adjusted according to the respective appliance specification as detailed on the appliance data badge.

7.3.1 CHECKING/ADJUSTING THE APPLIANCE FAN SPEEDS

Refit the 3-selector knobs and move the mode selector to the OFF position. Remove the test probe from the test point and refit the sealing screw/s and/or cap.

IMPORTANT A GAS TIGHTNESS CHECK MUST BE CARRIED OUT IF ANY GAS CARRYING COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, REPLACED OR DISTURBED.

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 (see 7.4).

• Insert the flue gas analyser probe into the flue gas test point (see fig. 35).

• Operate the boiler in CO mode and compare the values with those shown in section 2 (Nat. Gas) or section 10 (LPG). If different adjust the gas valve according to 7.4.1, 7.4.2, & 7.4.3.

7.6 CHECKING THE EXPANSION VESSEL

Carry out the component removal procedure as described in 6.4. Y ou m ust 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 re-charging 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 Symptom P ossible cause

No display/ignition Check wiring/check electrical

supply No hot water Check pipe-work No heating Check external controls

Fault code Possible cause 10 Check gas supply, check flue

system, check polarity

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 (fig.17). 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.

7.8.3 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 (fig.16). 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 (fig.16). 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 (fig.16). 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 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.

UNICA BHE

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 (fig. 16), and insert a link-wire between the two wires at the ‘TA’ connections (fig. 19).

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 located at the end of this section.

PURPOSES

10.3 CONVERTING THE APPLIANCE GAS TYPE

To convert the appliance to another gas type it is necessary to change the burner injector, adjust the appliance fan speeds and adjust the gas valve (CO2).

• To change the injector see 6.12.1

• To adjust the fan speeds see 10.7

• To adjust CO2 values see 10.6

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 CHECKING THE CO2 AND ADJUSTING THE GAS V AL VE THE GAS VALVE MUST BE SET-UP OR ADJUSTED WITH THE AID OF A PROPERL Y CALIBRA TED FLUE GAS ANAL YSER.

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 CO2 and insert the probe into the flue analysis test point (A, B fig. 35). Restore the electrical supply to the boiler and switch the boiler to the OFF mode. To adjust the gas valve you must first ensure that the fan speed potentiometers (trimmers) have been set correctly (see 10.7). Remove the 3-selector knobs, locate and press the CO button (fig. 36). The appliance will now

operate in CO mode for approximately 15-minutes (see 7.10).

10.6.1 GAS VALVE MAXIMUM SETTING

Locate and gently turn the HTG trimmer till the maximum value fan speed (max) is obtained and check that it corresponds with the appropriate CO value (maximum) for the respective appliance. If the CO2 reading is correct, proceed to gas valve minimum setting (10.6.2). However, if the CO2 reading is incorrect, the maximum gas pressure must be adjusted as follows:

• using a 2.5mm Allen key, very slowly turn the maximum adjustment screw (fig. 38) – clockwise to decrease, counter clockwise to increase – until the correct value is displayed on the CO analyser (allow time for the analyser to stabilise).

10.6.2 GAS VALVE MINIMUM SETTING

Locate and gently turn the HTG trimmer till the minimum value fan speed (min) is obtained and check that it corresponds with the appropriate CO value (minimum) for the respective appliance. If the CO2 reading is correct, rotate the HTG trimmer until the correct value is obtained for the respective appliance (see fan speed table) and proceed to 10.6.3. However, 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. 38) – clockwise to increase, counter clockwise to decrease until the correct value is displayed on the CO analyser (allow time for the analyser to stabilise).
