1 Introduction

The current, Electricity at Work Regulation must be complied with and also be in
accordance with the relevant and current editions of the British Standards.
TheQ Seriesboilerisacertifiedapplianceandmust notbemodifiedorinstalledinany
way contrary to this Installation Manual.
Manufacturers instructions must not be taken in any way as overriding statutory
obligations.
The Q Series is a central heating unit with an optional integrated hot water function.
These units must be connected according to these instructions and all
installation
norms in respect of the part of the unit to be connected.
Observe the following rules of safety:
-
-
All work on the unit must take place in a dry environment.
ATLANTIC units maynever be inoperationwithouttheirhousing,exceptin
connection with maintenance or adjustments (see Chapter 13 and 14).
Never allow electrical or electronic components to come into contact with water.
-
Carry out the following tasks in connection with maintenance, etc. to an already-
installed unit:
-
-
-
-
Shut down all programmes
Close the gas tap
Remove the plug from the wall socket
Close the stop cock of the unit’s intake connection
Take note of the following when maintenance or adjustments are needed:
- The unit must be able to function during these activities; for this reason, the
unit’s
supply voltage, gas pressure and water pressure must be maintained. Ensure
that
these is not a source of potential danger during these activities.

The Q SERIES boiler is a room sealed, condensing and modulating central
heating
boiler, with or without an integrated hot water facility.
The boiler is provided with a compact stainless steel heat exchanger with smooth
tubes. A well thought out principal using durable materials.
The boiler burns gas for supplying warmth. The heat is transferred in the heat exchanger
to
the water in the central heating system. By cooling down the flue
gasses condensate
is formed. This results in high efficiency. The condensate, which has no effect
on
the heat exchanger and the function of the boiler, is drained through
an internal
siphon.
The boiler is provided with an intelligent control system (CMS Control Management
System). The boiler anticipates the heat demand of the central heating system or
the
hot water facility.
When an outside sensor is connected to the boiler works weather dependently. This
meansthattheboilercontrolmeasurestheoutsidetemperatureandflow
temperature.
With this data the boiler calculates the optimal flow temperature for the installation.

difference between flow and return water has been obtained. If, after this,
the
temperature difference remains to much then the boiler will switch itself off and

or plastic pipes are used elsewhere in the installation, one should ensure that
the
plastic pipes used comply with the DIN 4726/4729 standard. It is set out in
this
standard that the pipes may not have oxygen permeability higher than 0.1 g/m³.d a

The ATLANTIC BOILERS flue gas system is meant and designed solely the use on
ATLANTIC BOILERS central
heatingboilers adjusted forNatgasorLPG. The maximum flue gastemperatures are
below 70°C (full load 80/60°C)
Theproperoperationcanbeinfluencedharmfullybychangesoforadjustments tothe
correct set up.
Possible warranty claims will not be honoured if incorrect changes result in non
compliance with the installation manual or local rules and regulations.
The flue gas systems described in this document are solely suited for ATLANTIC

been supplementedundertheGastecnr:0063BQ3021,0063AS3538and0063AU3110.
The flue gas system should be built up using only ATLANTIC
program
products. Combinations with other brands or systems are without written permission
from ATLANTIC BOILERS is not permitted.
Horizontal flue system should always be installed sloping towards the boiler, in order
to avoid condensate lying in the flue system.
The minimum gradient is 50mm/Mtr. With the condensate running back to the boiler the
risk of ice forming at the terminal is reduced.

If the boiler is to be located under stairs, a smoke alarm meeting the

The flue must be terminated in a place not likely to cause a nuisance.
Forhorizontalsections,theoutletsystemshouldalwaysbefittedonanincline(50mm/

minimisedbycausingthecondensationwatertorunback towardstheappliance.In
the
case of horizontal outlets the inlet system should be fitted on an incline sloping
down
towards the outside to prevent rainwater from coming in.
The appliance produces a white wisp of condensation (pluming). This wisp of
condensation is harmless, but can beunattractive, particularlyin the caseof outlets
in
outsidewalls.

Cutting the pipe goes as follows:
-

-
Take out the inner tube byturning it until it releases from its security position;
Cut just as much from the air intake part as from the flue gas part;
Take off the burrs from the cutting edge to prevent cutting the seals;
Click the pipes back together again.
Use special grease to simplify the fitting

and the correct diameter. The table below shows the maximum flue lengths with
the
different boiler outputs. A longer flue gas length can be achieved by increasing
the

Concentric flue gas system: maximum noted length = distance between boiler

When using bends the noted value behind every bend should be deducted from the
maximum straight length.
Pipes with 60/100 diameter are only permitted

Depending of the comfort preferences different external hot water cylinders can be
connected to the boiler. The choice of the cylinder depends on the coil output. The coil
output must complywith the boiler output.
Acylinderwhichis used in combinationwithaQ51Sor Q60S,shouldhaveaminimal
capacityof40kWresp.45kW (minimalø28mmcoil).Themaximumpermitted
pressure
