APPLIANCE OPERATION
Check
that
the gas supply to the appliance
is
off. Switch
the
elec·
tricity supply on at the mains. Put the Operating Switch to Heat·
ing and Water. Leave the system to operate
in
a cold
state
for
about 20 minutes, venting as necessary to remove air from the
system.
Set the Operating Switch to
OFF.
Switch off the electrical supply
to the appliance.
1\.lrn
on the gas supply. Check
for
gas sound·
ness around the gas valve.
Light the pilot by pressing in the grey button on the gas valve
and operating the red spark igniter button. When the pilot has
lit
continue to hold the grey button
in
for
a further 20 seconds
and then release
it
slowly.
If the pilot does not stay alight, twist the gas valve button anti·
clockwise.
Wa
it
for
3 minutes and repeat the operation until the
pilot
has
lit. Continue to hold
the
gas
valve
button
for
30
seconds then release
it
slowly.
Tes
t
for
gas soundness at the joint between the pilot pipe and
the burner with leak detection
flu
id
.
Observe the pilot flame. It should be about 18·20 mm long and
envelope the thermocoup
le
tip.
If
not. refer to Section 14.4. See
Fig
. 23.
Loosen
the
burner
pressure
test
point screw
and
connect
a
pressu
re
gauge. See
Fig
. 18.
Domestic Hot Water.
Set the Operating Switch
(or
Programmer) to
WATER
and
fully
open a hot water tap.
The
boiler should light
at
a burner pressure of 2·3 mb
(0
.8·1.2
in
.
wg.) rising immediately to 14 and 14.5
mbar
(5
.6
and
5.8
in
.
wg.).
If
the burner pressure
is
low,
check
that
the supply pres·
sure
at
the
gas valve inlet with the appliance operating
is
at
least 19 mbar
(7
.6
in.
wg)
.
Note: The burner pressure
is
factory set and
if
(after checking
that
the supply pressure
is
sufficient) the correct pressure
is
not
obtained
then
Wo
rcester Heat Systems Service
Department
should be contacted.
With the main burner alight test the integral gas supplies and
joints
for
soundness using leak detection
fluid
.
Gradually close the hot tap and check
that
the burner pressure
drops.
Fully
open the tap and check
that
the burner pressure
rises. After 10
minutes
operation
check for spillage
at
the
diverter outlet as described in
BS
5440:
1.
Fully
close the tap and
check
that
the burner goes
off
.
The
pump
will
continue running
until the appliance has cooled to a preset temperature.
Set the Operating Switch
(or
Programmer) to
OFF
.
Central Heating
Check that
all
the radiator valves are open. Set the room thermo·
stat and the Central Heating Temperature Control to maximum.
On
sealed systems check
that
the system
is
pressurised and set
to the required pressure as indicated on the gauge.
Set
the
Operat
ing Switch (
or
Programmer)
to
HEATING
&
WATER
.
The burner
will
light.
The appliance
will
modulate its
output
from 9.2
kW
(31
,400
Btu
/ h) to
the
set output of 16.1
kW
(5
4,900
Btu
/
h)
over a peri·
od of about two minutes.
Check the system to ensure
that
all
the radiators are heating up
evenly.
Shut down
all
but
one of the radiators and observe the burner
pressure
fall
. Open
all
of the radiator valves
and
check
that
the
burner pressure rises.
If
a greater heat
output
up
to a maximum of 24
kW
(82,000
Btu/h)
is
required, then the burner pressure must be adjusted at
the potentiometer located at the rear of the control box. Adjust
the potentiometer to give a burner pressure of 14.S mbar.
This
16
figure can only be achieved
if
the burner pressures are correctly
set
in
the domestic hot water mode.
Balance the system so
that
the required temperature difference
across the central heating
flow
and return pipes
is
obtained. See
lable
3.
Adjust the central heating by-pass valve until the same tempera-
ture difference
is
obtained. See
Fig
19.
This
should be carried
out
with only a single radiator operating.
If
thermostatic radiator
valves are fitted then one radiator should be left uncontrolled.
The bypass valve should never be
fully
closed.
Set
the
room thermostat to minimum and check
that
the burner
goes out. Reset the room thermostat to maximum and the burn·
er
will
relight and
follow
the normal operating procedure.
Set the Operating Switch
(or
Programmer) to
OFF
.
1\.lrn
off the gas service cock
and
the electrical supply to
the
appliance. After about 60 seconds the flame failure device can
be heard to operate. Check
for
its correct operation by turning
the gas back on
at
the gas cock and attempting to light the pilot
w
it
hout depressing the gas valve button.
If
the pilot can be lit
in
this way, turn off the gas supply
and
contact Worcester Heat
Systems.
Disconnect
the
pressure gauge
and
re-tighten
the
test
point
screw.
Test
for
gas soundness at the screw.
Drain the system while the appliance
is
still hot.
Refill
, vent and, with a sealed system.

Domestic Hot Water
and
Central Heating
Light the pilot as described
in
the preceding notes.
Set
the
Operat
ing Switch (or
Programmer)
to
HEATING
&
WATER.
If
a programmer
is
fitted, set the domestic hot water to
Continuous or 24Hrs
and
the central heating to
ON
. The burner
will
light and heat
will
pass into the system.
1\.lrn
on a hot water
tap and check that
fully
heated hot water
is
discharged from the
tap
.
Close
the tap and the burner
will
go
off
.
The
appliance
will
then
return to the central heating mode and automatically
ba
lance
with the system requ
ir
ements.
Se
t the Operating Switch (or Programmer) to
OFF
and
the
burner
will
go out.

. 5 COMPLETION OF COMMISSIONING
Disconnect the pressure gauge and tighten the test point.screw.
Restart the appliance and check
for
gas soundness around
the
test point screw.
Refit
the cabinet front panel.
If
the appliance
is
being passed over to
the
user immediately,
refer to Section 13 -Instructions to the User
and
set
the controls
to the user's requirements.
If
the appliance
is
to be left inoperative, check
that
the Operating
Switch
is
set to
OFF
.
1\.lrn
off the gas service cock and switch
off
the electricity supply.
If
there
is
any possibility of the appliance
and
system being left
inoperative during frosty conditions, drain
the
appliance
and
system.
For
short inoperative periods leave
the
boiler under the
control of a frost thermostat
or
operating continuously under
the control of a room thermostat set
at
6°C.
