3.0 Appliance Operation
6
NOTE: All delay timers mentioned in 3.1 and 3.2
are overridden by domestic hot water demand.
3.1 Central Heating Mode (Fig. 2)
1. With a demand for heating, the pump circulates
water through the primary circuit. At a pre-
determined flow rate the central heating flow
switch operates, initiating the ignition sequence.
2. The main burner ignites at low rate, then the
gas valve controls the gas rate to maintain the
heating temperature measured by the
temperature sensor.
3. When the flow temperature exceeds the setting
temperature, a 3 minute delay occurs before the
burner relights automatically (anti-cycling). The
pump continues to run during this period.
4. When the demand is satisfied the burner is
extinguished and the pump continues to run for a
period of 30 seconds (Pump Overrun).
3.2 Domestic Hot Water Mode (Fig. 3)
1. Priority is given to the domestic hot water
supply. A demand at a tap or shower will override
any central heating requirement.
2. The flow of water will operate the DHW flow
switch which requests the 3 way valve to change
position. This will allow the pump to circulate the
primary water through the DHW plate heat
exchanger.
3. The burner will light automatically and the
temperature of the domestic hot water is
controlled by the temperature sensor.
4. When the domestic hot water demand ceases
the burner will extinguish and the diverter valve
will remain in the domestic hot water mode,
unless there is a demand for central heating.
IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in
the ‘0’(Off) position the electrical supply to the
boiler is isolated. The boiler will not operate
and the integral timer (if fitted) will require
resetting once the selector switch is set to
either Position (i) or Position (ii).
3.3 Frost Protection Mode
1. The frost protection mode is integral to the
appliance and functions only with the selector
switch (see Section 2.1) in the domestic hot water
and central heating position. If the system
temperature falls below 5°C then the boiler will
fire on its minimum setting until a flow temperature
of 30°C is reached. Further protection can be
incorporated by using a system frost thermostat.
3.4 Pump Protection
1. With the selector switch (see Section 2.1) in
either the central heating or central heating and
domestic hot water position the pump will
automatically operate for 1 minute in every 24
hours to prevent sticking.

6.1 Information
1. The Baxi Combi 80e and 105e Combination Boilers
are ‘Water Byelaws Scheme - Approved Products’.
To comply with the Water Byelaws your attention is
drawn to the following installation requirements and
notes (IRN).
a) IRN 001 - See text of entry for installation
requirements and notes.
b) IRN 302 - Byelaw 14.
2. Reference to the WRc publications, ‘Water fittings
and materials directory’and ‘Water supply byelaws
guide’give full details of byelaws and the IRNs.
6.2 Central Heating Circuit
1. The appliance is suitable for fully pumped SEALED
SYSTEMS ONLY.
Treatment of Water Circulating Systems
•All recirculatory water systems will be subject to
corrosion unless an appropriate water treatment is
applied. This means that the efficiency of the system
will deteriorate as corrosion sludge accumulates
within the system, risking damage to pump and
valves, boiler noise and circulation problems.
•For optimum performance after installation this
boiler and its associated central heating system must
be flushed in accordance with the guidelines given in
BS 7593 “Treatment of water in domestic hot water
central heating systems”.
•This must involve the use of a proprietary cleanser,
such as BetzDearborn Sentinel X300 or X400, or
Fernox Superfloc. Full instructions are supplied with
the products, but for immediate information please
contact BetzDearborn (0151 420 9563) or Fernox
(01799 550 811) directly.
•For long term protection against corrosion and
scale, after flushing it is recommended that an
inhibitor such as BetzDearborn Sentinel X100, or
Fernox MB-1 or Copal is dosed in accordance with
the guidelines given in BS 7593.
Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system
may invalidate the appliance warranty.
•It is important to check the inhibitor concentration
after installation, system modification and at every
service in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. (Test kits are available from inhibitor
stockists.)
•For information or advice regarding any of the
above contact the Baxi Helpline.
6.3 Bypass
1. The boiler is fitted with an automatic integral
bypass.
6.4 System Control
1. The boiler is designed for use in a heating
system that incorporates external controls, i.e. a
minimum of a timer device.
2. Suitable timer kits are available as optional
extras.
3. For optimum operating conditions and maximum
economy the fitting of a programmable room
thermostat, such as the Baxi Combi Controller, is
recommended.

6.0 System Details
11
6.5 System Filling and Pressurising
1. A filling point connection on the central heating
return pipework must be provided to facilitate
initial filling and pressurising and also any
subsequent water loss replacement/refilling.
2. The filling method adopted must be in
accordance with all relevant water supply bye-
laws and use approved equipment.
3. Your attention is drawn to: IRN 302 and Byelaw
14.
4. The sealed primary circuits may be filled or
replenished by means of a temporary connection
between the circuit and a supply pipe, provided a
‘Listed’double check valve or some other no less
effective backflow prevention device is
permanently connected at the inlet to the circuit
and the temporary connection is removed after
use (Fig. 4).
5. There are connection points on the mains cold
water inlet and central heating return isolating
taps (Fig. 4a) to which the optional filling loop kit
(Part No. 248221) can be assembled.
6.6 Expansion Vessel
(Central Heating only)
1. The appliance expansion vessel is pre-charged
to 0.5 bar. Therefore, the minimum cold fill
pressure is 0.5 bar. The vessel is suitable for
correct operation for system capacities up to 125
litres. For greater system capacities an additional
expansion vessel must be fitted - refer to BS 7074
Pt 1.
6.7 Pressure Relief Valve (Fig. 5)
1. The pressure relief valve is set at 3 bar,
therefore all pipework, fittings, etc. should be
suitable for pressures in excess of 3 bar.
2. The pressure relief discharge pipe should be
not less than 15mm dia, run continuously
downward, and discharge outside the building,
preferably over a drain. It should be routed in
such a manner that no hazard occurs to
occupants or causes damage to wiring or
electrical components. The end of the pipe should
terminate facing down and towards the wall.
3. The discharge must not be above a window,
entrance or other public access. Consideration
must be given to the possibility that boiling
water/steam could discharge from the pipe.

6.8 Domestic Hot Water Circuit (Fig. 6)
1. All DHW circuits, connections, fittings, etc.
should be fully in accordance with relevant
standards and water supply bye-laws.
2. Your attention is drawn to:
IRN 116 and the Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations 1999 Schedule 2, Section 8,
paragraph 17. Sealed primary circuits and/or
secondary hot water systems shall incorporate a
means for accommodating the thermal expansion
of water to prevent any discharge from the circuit
and/or system, except in an emergency situation.
3. When the system includes any device which
prevents water expanding back towards the
supply (check valve, loose jumpered stopcock,
water meter, water treatment device), then an
expansion vessel must be fitted (e.g. Zilmet
160ml, R1/215bar). To comply with Byelaw 91, a
check valve must also be fitted on the supply as
shown, to ensure efficient operation and also to
prevent the reverse flow of hot water into the
supply pipe.
4. If the hot water expansion is not provided for,
then high pressures can develop which may
result in damage to fittings and devices on the
system.
5. The boiler’s maximum working mains pressure
is 8 bar, therefore all pipework, connections,
fittings, etc. should be suitable for pressures in
excess of 10 bar. A pressure reducing valve must
be fitted for pressures in excess of 10 bar. The
manufacturer of any outlet fittings, such as a
shower valve, may require a lower maximum
pressure. The pressure reduction must take
account of all fittings connected to the DHW
system.
6.9 Showers
1. If a shower control is supplied from the
appliance it should be of the thermostatic or
pressure balanced type. Thermostatic type
shower valves provide the best comfort and
guard against water at too high a temperature.
Existing controls may not be suitable - refer to the
shower valve manufacturer.
6.10 Hard Water Areas
1. If the area of the installation is recognised as a
HARD WATER AREA then a suitable device
should be fitted to treat the mains water supply to
the boiler.
