Addendum to the USER guide and Maintenance
Requirements of the TOTEM CHP
Valid as of 20 May 2021
A risk of the exhaust manifold assembly cracking has been identified on the Totem CHP. The cause
and pattern of the fault has been investigated, a risk management plan has been prepared and the
Health and Safety Executive has been informed. The HSE has carried out their own investigation and
has agreed the following plan sufficiently manages the risk.
The added measures for the User/ Building Controller are:
• To ensure the maintenance is always carried out on time and in line with manufacturer’s
instructions
• To check the unit weekly by logging in to determine if the maintenance visit is imminent and
booking it in with a service provider to be done on time
• To turn off the unit at the point the service interval is reached if the maintenance cannot be
carried out at that time.
• To review the number of starts against the run hours and if the ratio is under 2 hours/start to
review the design with the BMS company/ Adveco / designer
• Ensure the service provider follows the manufacturer’s instructions on the maintenance
regime, and particularly, that they change the exhaust manifold each service and follow the
maintenance requirements and test the CO detector.
• Arrange for training by Adveco on how to fulfil your Totem CHP maintenance requirements.
This is free.
The requirement to service a CHP system is vitally important, not only for reliability and longevity, but
also for safety. Machinery can become unsafe if not serviced regularly and ensuring regular and
correct maintenance is carried out to ensure safety is the responsibility of the building controller. If
the control measures are followed we are pleased to confirm that building occupants will not be at
risk from leakage of carbon monoxide from defects in the Totem CHP exhaust system.
These instructions may be updated from time to time and it is therefore important to regularly check
for updated information at www.adveco.co/CHPmaintenance/

[Danger] This symbol indicates operating procedures whose incorrect performance can cause injury or even
death.
[Warning] This symbol indicates operating procedures whose incorrect performance can seriously damage the
equipment.
[Information] This symbol indicates important information related to the use of the equipment.
Maintenance Guide Overview
A. Purposes of this Guide
It is the responsibility of the Building Controller to ensure the maintenance is carried out at the
correct interval by a suitably qualified service provider. This is to ensure the equipment continues
to operate in a safe and reliable manner. This document is designed to inform the building controller
of their responsibilities to ensure this work is completed correctly. Further information should be
gained from the Totem installation manual and the Totem user manual. A copy of the Totem
Service manual should be available for the service provider.
This document is also designed to be used be on-site or maintenance personnel to perform basic
maintenance and diagnostic procedures on the TOTEM CHP appliance. It includes an introduction to
the appliance, the interrogator, TOTEM fault codes and suggested resolutions.
All procedures are categorised into three tiers based on the skills, complexity, and risk involved:
Basic: All operators. Procedures at this level require no specialist skills or knowledge, and do not
involve any disassembly of or mechanical work on the appliance.
Intermediate: Operatives with relevant maintenance training and/or experience. Procedures at this
level include basic internal checks within the appliance.
Advanced: Operatives with relevant professional qualifications (gassafe) and experience.
Procedures at this level include works to the appliance gas supply and internal components.
Finally, this document includes the maintenance tasks to be carried out by the service provider on
pages 8-10. This document is in addition to the Totem manual and includes additional tasks
considered specific to the UK. This document must be shown to the service provider. This
information may change over time so at each visit it is necessary to refer to the website
www.adveco.co/CHPmaintenance/ to see if they have been updated.

If you smell gas odor:
turn your gas supply valve off;
ventilate the room;
do not operate any electrical device or appliance, including cell phones; leave the premises and call a
qualified technician or the gas utility company immediately from a different location. If they are
unavailable or in case of an emergency, call the local Fire Brigade;
if the room is equipped with a gas leak detection system, please report any possible malfunctioning of said
active safety equipment.

TOTEM 10 - TOTEM 20 - TOTEM 25 - On-site Maintenance Procedures
If you see water, glycol, oil, or other fluids’ spills on the floor or near the Totem Unit:
turn the unit off;
call a qualified technician;
shut off the User system’s circuits, if any, e.g. water or gas supply
If you smell products of combustion:
turn the appliance off;
ventilate the room;
call a qualified technician;
if the room is equipped with a smoke/carbon monoxide detection system, please report any possible
malfunctioning of said active safety equipment.
C. Safety Instructions
Please refer to the TOTEM User Manual for a comprehensive list of safety instructions and potential
hazards associated with working on or in the vicinity of the TOTEM CHP appliance.
This TOTEM CHP unit has been fitted with an aftermarket CO detector to monitor the warm air
leaving the unit. It is unlikely that the CO detector will go off, however if it does:
•It will shut off the CHP unit
•It will not make a sound, but pressing the blue button on the CHP unit will not reset the CHP - the CO
detector will hold it off.
•It is likely that the CO has come form the CHP unit, but it is possible that it has come from another
appliance in the room, so proceed with caution.
•Do not try and reset the CO detector.
•The CO detector will shut off the TOTEM before the level is unsafe. Once the CHP is off, see if the CO level
reduces. This could take 15 minutes. If it does not reduce, or if it increases, turn off all other gas
appliances and exit the building.
•Call out your service provider.

Installation, calibration and modification of the gas feed system must be performed by a qualified
technician abiding by all applicable national and local standards as well as by the instructions provided in this
Guide.
Installation, calibration or modification of the electrical system must be performed by a qualified
technician abiding by all applicable national and local standards as well as by the instructions provided in this
Guide.
Installation, calibration or modification of the water system must be performed by a qualified technician abiding
by all applicable national and local standards as well as by the instructions provided in this Guide.
It is mandatory to connect the exhaust gas evacuation line of the appliance to an exhaust gas evacuation duct
built in compliance with all applicable legal requirements in force in the place where the TOTEM® unit is
installed. Failure to comply with said rule poses a serious risk to human and animal safety.
According to the provisions for use, the user has an obligation to keep the installed unit in good condition
and to ensure the safe and reliable functioning of the micro cogenerator and of all systems connected thereto,
having the relevant activities performed by qualified technicians.
Before switching the unit on, always ensure that all protective panels and guards have been properly mounted to
avoid risks to the safety of personnel.
Do not obstruct, not even partially, the suction duct and exhaust pipe ends.
Do not use or store any hazardous materials, such as explosive, combustible or flammable materials in the same
room where the micro cogenerator is installed.
When the unit is in operation, do not stay in the room where the unit is installed.
The micro cogenerator, any auxiliary components thereof, the systems needed for its functioning (GAS, water,
power, shut-off devices, firefighting equipment, detectors, panels, switchboards, components of the Totem
Unit’s equipment room etc.) must not be tampered with, modified or otherwise altered for any reason
whatsoever. Failure to comply with this provision may cause injuries or may damage, including severely, people,
animals or things.

Machine Isolator: Electrical isolator to cut power supply to the unit. Required safe isolation for
servicing and access into the panel. This isolator should isolate all power to the unit, however all
installations are different. Look for labels that indicate multiple live supplies exist within the panel
and if present isolation is necessary at multiple points. Regardless, after gaining access the control
panel should be tested with suitable test equipment to ensure it is safely isolated.
Rotary Isolator: Minimum level of electrical isolation necessary to gain access inside the control panel.
When in the off position the panel can be opened, but there is still live 415V/3phase electricity in the
machine up to the isolator. Not a sufficient level of safe electrical isolation for servicing, this must be
done through the machine isolator. Only trained technicians should access the panel with only the
rotary isolator in the off position.

13
TOTEM 10 - TOTEM 20 - TOTEM 25 - On-site Maintenance Procedures

Typically there is no reason to connect and interrogate the machine unless user data is required
such as current temperatures, run hours, time until servicing, etc.
There are combinations of illuminated lamps that may require the user to connect and interrogate.
1. Power on lamp illuminated, all other lamps off, Machine NOT running.
a. The machine NOT running is NOT a fault, the machine will run often, but not all the
time. The arrangement explained above is likely to be a healthy condition where the
unit is simply in standby because the system is up to temperature, the system was up
to temperature and now the machine is in ‘anti-cycling’ mode, or the machine does
not have an external run/enable signal. It could also indicate a fault combined with a
faulty lamp.
b. It is recommended that if this is the condition of the unit that nothing is done and it
is checked again 2 hours later. Most conditions that cause this standby arrangement
will clear in 2 hours and the unit will reset.
c. Connect to the unit and check the following in order:
i. Alarms, Check for active alarms
1. If there is an active alarm note it and follow the procedure for that
alarm.
ii. Configurations, Totem Shutdown/Restart temperature
iii. Real time data, Totem Inlet water temperature
1. When the Totem Inlet water temperature reaches the shutdown
temperature the machine will stop. It will restart when the Totem
inlet water temperature drops to the restart temperature. If the
Totem Inlet water temperature is above the restart temperature it
should degrade over time and the machine will restart. Check it
again in a few hours. If the temperature is still high it could indicate
a pump failure or BMS control problem.
iv. Real time data, Engine Inlet water temperature
1. The anti-cycling algorhithm will prevent the machine from restarting
until the engine inlet temperature drops below a setpoint fixed by
machine type, which could be as low as 50C. If the Engine inlet water
temperature is above 50C then recheck in 2 hours and it should have
restarted.
v. Real time data, Logical State of Totem
1. Waiting conditions for engine to start indicates that there is no
enable/run signal from the controls or BMS. Investigate through the
BMS.

TOTEM 10 - TOTEM 20 - TOTEM 25 - On-site Maintenance Procedures

ii. The machine may have an active alarm that has stopped the unit from
operating, which will automatically reset after a period of time or when the
fault is removed
iii. The machine may have an active alarm that will not automatically reset and
needs to be reset either remotely through the Cloud based monitoring
system or locally by following the reset procedure (Procedure 1)
b. As both conditions in i. and ii. will either reset or not stop the machine from
operating it is recommended that nothing is done immediately and it is checked
again 2 hours later. Most conditions that cause this i. and ii. will clear in 2 hours and
the unit will run.
c. Connect to the unit and check the following:
i. Alarms, Check for active alarms
1. If there is an active alarm note it and follow the procedure for that

Divide the run hours by the number of starts to calculate the average number
of hours run per start.
Refer to the service logbook on the next page of this document and fill in
the above information for the current week.
Use the previous week log book information to calculate the number of
hours run and starts during the last week, and the number of hours since
the last service.
T10 units require servicing every 3000 hours
T20 and T25 units require servicing every 2500 hours
Book a service visit if the unit is within 500 hours of requiring a service.
On the online dashboard, use the menu in the top left of the screen
