3.1 HOW TO TOP-UP THE SYSTEM PRESSURE

(g. 1-2)

The system pressure must be checked periodically to ensure the correct operation of the boiler. The needle on the gauge should be reading between 1 and 1.5 BAR when the boiler is in an off position and has cooled to room temperature. If the pressure requires ‘topping-up’ use the following instructions as a guide.

- Locate the lling valve connections (usually beneath the boiler, see g. 2).

- Attach the lling loop to both connections.

- Open the lling valve slowly until you hear water entering the

system.

- Close the lling valve when the pressure gauge (on the boiler) reads between 1 and 1.5 BAR (see g. 1).

- Remove the lling loop from the connections.

3.2 HOW TO RESET THE APPLIANCE

When the red fault LED is illuminated, the appliance will require to be reset manually. Before resetting the boiler, check what action is required to be taken, using the information on the fault code table below. Allow a period of two minutes to elapse before rotate the mode selector knob across the position

(see g. 1).

IMPORTANT

If the appliance requires to be reset frequently, it may be indicative of a fault, please contact your installer or Vokèra Customer Services for further advice.

3.3 HOW TO SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM FOR

SHORT PERIODS

The system and boiler can be shut down for short periods by simply turning the time clock to the off position. It is also advisable to turn off the main water supply to the house.

3.4 HOW TO SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM FOR

LONG PERIODS

If the house is to be left unoccupied for any length of time – especially during the winter – the system should be thoroughly drained of all water. The gas, water, and electricity supply to the house should also be turned off. For more detailed advice contact your installer.

1.1 PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS

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

• Aluminium heat exchanger

• Electronic ignition with ame supervision

• Integral high-head pump

• Fan

• Expansion vessel

• Water pressure switch

• Flue 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. For CH line, if the main temperature falls to 5°C, the appliance will function on minimum power until the temperature on main reaches 35°C.

• anti-block function – the anti-block function enables the pump

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 ame 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 satised the appliance

pump and fan may continue to operate to dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.

1.4 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;

• ame sensor that will shut down the burner when no ame

signal is detected;

• ue sensor;

• a safety valve which releases excess pressure from the

primary circuit.

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 ows 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 oors, 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 lling 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 sufcient, however if the system

has an unusually high water content, it may be necessary to provide additional expansion capacity (see 6.18).

3.6.6 FILLING POINT

A method for initial lling of the system and replacing water lost

during servicing etc. directly from the mains supply, should be

provided (see g. 8). This method of lling complies with the

current Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and Water Bylaws 2000 (Scotland). If an alternative location.

3.6.7 LOW PRESSURE SEALED SYSTEM

An alternative method of lling 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 g. 8). The cold feed from the make-up vessel or tank must be tted

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.

3.6.8 FREQUENT FILLING

Frequent lling 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.

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 ue 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 specically for this purpose. An existing compartment/cupboard may be utilised provided that it is modied

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. Instal-

lation pipes must be tted 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

IMPORTANT

The vertical ue terminal is 1.0 metre in length and cannot be

cut; therefore it may be necessary to adjust the height of the appliance to suit or use a suitable extension. Connect the vertical ue assembly to the boiler ue spigot using the 100mm clip, gasket & screws (supplied), ensuring the

correct seal is made. The ue support bracket (supplied with the vertical ue kit) can now be tted. If the vertical ue requires extension/s or additional bend/s, connect the required number of ue extensions or bends (up to the maximum equivalent ue length) between the boiler and vertical ue assembly (see g. 13). Ensure that any horizontal sections of the ue system have a

minimum 1º; maximum 3º fall back to the boiler (1º = 17mm per 1000mm).

NOTE

When cutting an extension to the required length, you must ensure that the excess is cut from the plain end of the extension. Remove any burrs, and check that any seals are located properly. You must ensure that the entire ue system is properly supported and connected.

4.5.3 TWIN FLUE SYSTEM

The Vokèra twin ue system enables greater ue distances to be achieved than that of a concentric ue system. It can be

used for horizontal or vertical applications, however the twin

ue system must be converted to the dedicated concentric ue kit for termination. It is essential that the installation of the twin ue system be carried out in strict accordance with these

instructions.

GUIDANCE NOTES ON TWIN FLUE INSTALLATION

• The ue must have a have a minimum 1º; maximum 3º (1º

= 17mm per 1000mm) fall back to the appliance to allow

any condensate that may form in the ue system to drain

via the condensate 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 ue system is adequately supported,

use at least one bracket for each extension.

• As the exhaust outlet pipe can reach very high temperatu-

res it must be protected to prevent persons touching the hot surface.

• The condensate drain pipe must be connected in accordan-

ce with building regulations.

5.1 GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION

Inspect the entire installation including the gas meter, test for tightness and purge. Refer to BS 6891 (I.S. 813 in ROI) for

specic 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 ushed in accordance with the following

instructions.

5.3 INITIAL FILLING OF THE SYSTEM

Ensure both ow 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. Ensure all manual air release valves located on the heating system are closed. Connect the

lling loop as shown in g. 4, slowly proceed to ll the system by rstly opening the inlet valve connected to the ow pipe, and then turning the lever on the ll valve, to the open position. 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 rst.

It may be necessary to go back and top-up the pressure until

the entire system has been lled. Inspect the system for water

tightness, rectifying any leaks.

5.3.1 MANUAL AIR RELEASE (g. 25)

When the boiler has been lled for the rst time or the system has been drained and relled, it will be necessary to release

any air that may have become trapped within the appliance heat exchanger. Slacken the bleed screw until water is released and then close.

IMPORTANT, THERE ARE NO OTHER MANUAL AIR RELEASE VALVES LOCATED ON THE APPLIANCE.

5.4 INITIAL FLUSHING OF THE SYSTEM

The whole of the heating system must be ushed both cold

and hot as detailed in 5.8. Open all radiator or heating valves

and the appliance ow & 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. Rell the boiler and heating system as described in 5.3.

5.5 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;

Fig. 25

• ensure the 3 AMP fuse – supplied with the appliance – has

been tted;

• ensure the system has been lled, vented and the pressure

set to 1 BAR;

• ensure the ue system has been tted properly and in ac- cordance with the instructions;

• ensure all appliance service valves are open.

5.6 INITIAL LIGHTING

Ensure the electrical supply to the appliance is switched on. Ensure any external controls are switched to an ‘ON’ position and are calling for heat. Move the selector switch to the ON position, the appliance will now operate as described in 1.2. Should the appliance fail to ignite, refer to 5.6 and/or section 7

(mode of operation, parameter setting & faultnding).

5.7 CHECKING GAS PRESSURE AND COMBUS-

TION ANALYSIS

The appliance is factory set so should require 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 and carry out a combustion analysis check in accordance with BS 7967 (UK) to ensure that correct combustion is

occurring, see ow chart on page 34.

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 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 sufcient 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 ushed 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 TEMPERA-

TURE

The ow outlet temperature can be adjusted between 40 °C -

80 °C for standard CH system by using the Heating thermostat

knob (see g.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

gure registers on the pressure gauge (see g. 1).

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 sufcient system water pressure (min. 0.5 bar)

to ensure the water pressure switch is activated. If there is in-

sufcient system pressure the pump and fan will be prevented

from operating and the low-pressure fault code will be indicated.

7.2.1 SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION

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

Active functions:

•frost-protection system

•pump anti-block.

7.2.2 ON-BOARD FUNCTIONS

• CO FUNCTION: the CO function when activated, will allow the appliance to run at CH maximum, whilst a combustion analysis check or a mechanical gas valve calibration is being carried out. Whilst the CO function is active, all other functions are disabled (minimum power operating period, anti-cycle, 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 5°C, the boiler will operate on minimum power until the temperature of the thermistors reaches 35°C . Thereafter the pump & fan will over-run for 30-seconds.

• ANTI-C YCLE FUNCTION: the anti-cycle function ensures the burner remains switched off for at least 3-minutes after the set-point hysterisis (set-point + 5-deg) for CH heat request.

• 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.

• SARA function: the SARA function permits the boiler (when the set-point is within the SARA range) to automatically adjust

(raise) the heating ow outlet temperature should the room

thermostat contacts remain closed for more that 20-minutes.

7.2.3 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 fan will be activated via

the ow 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

ame 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

ow temperature sensor, consequently a high temperature at the ow sensor results in a lower fan speed. As the water tem-

perature increases, the temperature sensors – located on the

ow 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 (+ 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 ow 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 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 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.

ATTENTION Gas type and appliance output must be set according to the

specic appliance specication. Vokèra accepts no responsibility if the gas type is not correctly adjusted according to the

respective appliance specication as detailed on the appliance

data badge.

ed 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. 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.

7.7.3 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. 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. The meter should read approximately 230V ac. 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. 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. If the meter reads other than innity there is a

fault that must be isolated, carry out a detailed continuity check to identify the location of the fault. These series of checks must be carried out before attempting

any faultnding 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 faultnding, the electrical checks as

detailed in 7.7 must be carried out. Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply.

Disconnect any external controls from terminal plug (CN5 g.

44), and insert a link-wire between the two wires at the ‘TA’ connections.

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. Should the boiler fail to respond, the internal fuses and connectors should be checked to ensure integrity and continuity.

Complete Benchmark Checklist, recording CO and combustion ratio readings as required.

NOTE

The air/gas ratio valve is factory-set and must not be adjusted during commissioning unless this action is recommended, following contact with Vokera technical. If any such adjustment is recommended and further checking of the boiler is required, the engineer must be competent to carry out this work and to use the flue gas analyser accordingly. If the boiler requires conversion to operate with a different gas family (e.g., conversion from natural gas to LPG) separate guidance will be provided by Vokera technical and must be followed.

YES

BEFORE CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO CHECK

The boiler installation instructions should have been followed, gas type verified and gas supply pressure/rate checked as required prior to commissioning. As part of the installation process, ESPECIALLY WHERE A FLUE

HAS BEEN FITTED BY PERSONS OTHER THAN THE BOILER INSTALLER, visually check the integrity of the whole flue

system to confirm that all components are correctly assembled, fixed and supported. Check that the maximum flue lengths have not been exceeded and all guidance has been followed (e.g. Technical Bulletin 008). The flue gas analyser should be of the correct type, as specified by BS 7967. Before use, the flue gas analyser should have been maintained and calibrated as specified by the manufacturer. The installer must have the relevant competence for use of the analyser. Check and zero the analyser IN FRESH AIR, as per analyser manufacturer’s instructions.
