11 Commissioning

i

IMPORTANT:

At the time of commissioning, complete all relevant

sections of the Benchmark Checklist located in the centre

pages of this document.

The commissioning should be carried out by a competent person

approved at the time by the Health and Safety Executive and in

accordance with the current issue of BS6798.

11.1 Reading

the

fi lling pressure

The boiler is equipped with an analogue pressure gauge.

The pressure guage is located behind the front panel of the

boiler on the fl ow pipe. The guage is intended to be used as an

installation aid, the guage is not intended to be used by the

customer.

1 White area, pressure too low

2 Grey area, normal operating pressure

3 Red area, pressure too high

To ensure the correct operation of the heating installation, the

indicator on the pressure gauge should be within the grey area

(2) in approximately the central position as shown in the diagram.

This corresponds to a fi lling pressure of between 0.1 MPa and 0.2

MPa (1.0 bar and 2.0 bar).

11.2 Switching

on

Do not operate the boiler without water.

Make sure that the system has been thoroughly fl ushed out with

cold water and that all cleanser if used has been removed.

With the gas service isolation valve closed, with no demand

from any external controls and the power supply to the boiler

switched off .

Test for gas tightness and purge air from the gas supply.

Switch on the power supply to the appliance.

Make sure that the domestic hot water and heating functions

on your appliance are not activated.

11.3 Filling the CH system (Central heating)

Make sure that the installation's cold water inlet isolating valve is

open.

Open the isolating valves located on the connections: they must

be positioned in the direction of the fl ow.

3 Screw for the pump shaft

Open the plug on the air vent located on the pump and

automatic air vents on the installation.

If the (CH.) pressure falls below 0.4 bar, the display will fl ash the

current pressure and the boiler will not operate. To increase the

pressure, the CH circuit requires " Topping up".

i

IMPORTANT:

When turning the 230Vac supply on to the boiler should

the water pressure be less than 0.5 bar an automatic air

vent function will be activated for a period of 5 minutes.

During this time the pressure should be increased and

air vented from the system. Note that the burner will not

fi re in either the CH or DHW mode and the display will

blink displaying the current water pressure.

Vent air from each radiator until the water fl ows normally, then

close the vents.

Leave the pump's air vent open.

i

IMPORTANT:

The following two operations will unblock the pump's

engine after a prolonged storage period and will purge

the air from the pumps circuit.

Remove the screw from the pump shaft and introduce a fl at

screwdriver. A trickle of water, under no pressure should

normally come out of the pump.

Rotate the pump's shaft through several turns, then replace

the screw.
