Additionally the safe nominal maximum heat input of the

appliance can be achieved at an inlet pressure down to

15mbar.
NOTE: The BURNER PRESSURE cannot be measured and
is not used to measure the gas rate.
Gas Rate
Make sure that ALL other gas burning appliances and pilot

lights are off.
Check the gas rate using the gas meter test dial and stop

watch, at least 10 minutes after the burner has lit, see table

below for approximate rates.

In communal or LPG installations where the gas rate cannot

be measured it is acceptable to measure the combustion rate

as described in the servicing section.
On completion, press the “mode” and “+” buttons

simultaneously, this will reset the boiler.

12.6 Heating Systems

Ensure that the external controls are calling for heat.
Fully open all radiator valves, flow control valve, if fitted, see

diagram 5.1.
Switch on the appliance and ensure that the central heating is

calling for heat.
Balance the radiators as required and if fitted adjust valve to

give the required system differential. Turn off all radiators that

can be shut off by the user and check to see if less than the

maximum differential allowed of 20

o

C can be achieved across

flow and return.
NOTE: Should the system require that the appliance has to

be adjusted, the front will need to be removed, as described

in the servicing section 13, and the control box lowered into its

service position.
The appliance pump has two speeds and can be adjusted

depending on the requirements of the system.
The appliance has an inbuilt automatic adjustable bypass

valve. The pressure can be adjusted between approx 1.5

and 3.5mH

2

O but is factory pre-set to approx 2.5mH

2

O.

The pressure changes by approx 0.1mH

2

O for each full turn

of the bypass screw, see diagram 12.3. Turning clockwise

increases the pressure and turning anti-clockwise decreases

the pressure.
Allow the system to reach maximum temperature then switch

off the boiler by isolating from the electrical supply.
Drain the entire system rapidly whilst hot, using the drain taps

at all the low points of the system. Fill and vent the system as

described previously.
Lock or remove the handle from control valve, if fitted.

Adjust the boiler temperature controls and any system

controls to their required settings.

12.7 Completion

Fit the base coverplate, see diagram 12.4.
Ensure that the magnetic lighting instruction label is placed on

the surface of the boiler casing.
GB: It is a requirement that the “Benchmark” Installation,

Commissioning and Service Record is completed and left with

the user.
IE: it is necessary to complete a “Declaration of Conformity” to

indicate compliance to I.S.813. An example of this is given in

the current edition of I.S.813.
