part of the appliance and shall be delivered to the end user.
booklet.
Read the warnings in this booklet carefully as they contain
important information concerning installation, operation and
servicing safety.
Keep this booklet safe for further use.
These technical instructions contain details of how every
task should be performed during boiler installation, servicing
and operation.

Installation
Installation of the boilers and of auxiliary parts of the heating
system shall comply with all current standards and
regulations.
Installation and commissioning of the boilers and the heating
system shall be performed by authorised and professionally
qualified persons.
A professionally qualified person is someone with the relevant
technical skills in the field of heating system components
for domestic heating and hot water production, and in
particular, the customer service personnel authorised by the
manufacturer.

Commissioning
The main aim of the commissioning is to check that all the
safety and monitoring devices function correctly.
Before leaving the installation, the person responsible for
commissioning shall monitor the boiler for at least one
complete operating cycle.

Standards
The installer shall comply with local regulations on heating,
safety devices, flues, fuel supply lines, electrical systems
and all other local requirements and safety instructions.

3. Filling and water supply - 10,5 m/h de GAZ
Filling and water supply shall always be restricted, and be
monitored or measured using a metering device in all cases.
If a large supply of fresh water is introduced, the system
automatically requires monitoring.
If this water does not comply with the characteristics above,
a softener must be added to treat the water.

4. Excess pressure
In no circumstances shall the pressure exceed the maximum
service pressure indicated on the data badge, included with
each boiler model.

5. Water circulation safety device

A safety device linking the circulators to burner operation is
indispensible, so that:
- the burner cannot start up if the circulators have not first
been activated;
- the burner stops immediately if the circulators stop
operating.

6. Water shortage safety device

A safety device, possibly fitted with an alarm system, shall
be capable of immediately stopping the burner if a water
shortage is detected in the boiler.

viewer and the burner
The flame viewer in the door is fitted with a 1/8" threaded
connection (pos. 1) to a 9 mm pressure port for measuring
the back pressure of the combustion chamber.
Remove and keep this port, and replace it with a pressure
fitting, via a copper tube (pos. 2), that connects the flame
viewer directly to the combustion chamber, and is located
downstream of the burner fan. The air blasted in by the fan
cools the glass of the flame viewer and reduces the amount
of deposits on the glass.
If this connection tube is not fitted, the glass could break.

WARNING: the flame viewer can get very hot; take

great care.

7 . 1 Rated useful output range for

boilers

The documents supplied with the boilers always indicate

the rated useful output range. Maximum burner heat flow
rate (corresponding to the output required to heat the building
in question) should be set within the limits of the output
range indicated.

7 . 2 Minimum boiler output (min P)

The boiler can function correctly at up to 40% below the

minimum rated output indicated, provided that the
installation instructions are followed.
These instructions are given in the following subclause
(7.3).

type) correspond to the boiler technical data.

When the burner is set correctly, the following values should

be obtained easily, when measured at the flue duct:

1) Using oil having a maximum viscosity of 1.5E at 20C:

- CO2 = 12 to 13%
- Smoke spot number < 1
- Smoke temperature = 190 to 210 C
2) Using natural gas
- CO2 = 9 to10%
- Smoke temperatures = 180 to 200 C (the values are
given for a clean boiler with water at 70C).

We recommend setting the fuel flow rate to a value that

corresponds to the real needs of the system concerned (avoid
over provision), by ensuring that the smoke temperatures
indicated above never rise or fall (a value never lower than
120C gas - 140 C oil).

from the fire tubes, in order to prevent the soot from clogging
them, and making their removal extremely difficult.
