COMMISSIONING

Commissioning - Water
1.The system must be thoroughly cleansed prior to
connection of the boiler.The system water should be
treated to prevent general corrosion and deposition
of scale or sludge in the boiler, please refer to
BS7593. If installing the boiler onto an existing
system, ACV recommend that an approved system
cleaner is used.
2. Fill and pressurise the boiler and system to 1.5 bar,
making sure to vent the boiler via the automatic air
vent on top of the boiler. Note that the black dust
cap on the air vent should be left loose to allow the
auto vent to function.
3. Check for leaks.

Commissioning - Electrical
The Electrical installation supplying this boiler must
conform to the current IEE Regulations.
1. Remove the front panel and check all electrical
connections for tightness.
2. Ensure all internal relays, contactors etc are secure
on the DIN rails.
3. Set all panel control switches to off.
4. Check the power stage delay timer settings -
Adjuster (A) is factory set to the 1 to 10 minute
position which is the optimum setting for the boiler
and should be verified during commissioning.
- Adjuster (B) is used to set the DELAY ON time of
the following stage contactors, the available settings
are in 1 minute increments if A is set to 1 to 10
minutes.
This function is particularly useful in areas where
gradual switching of electrical load is required and
the resulting maximum demand kept to a
minimum.The timers add to the flexibility of the
installation but must be optimised by a qualified
engineer.The normal setting is 1.
5. Set internal MCB to off position.
6. Set the control thermostat to desired temperature.
Starting the Boiler
1. Switch on the internal or external timeclock (if fitted)
2. Switch on internal MCB
3. Switch on local isolator to boiler
4.Turn the boiler on using the ON/OFF switch
5. Switch on the power levels switch stage 1, the first
stage contactors will energise
6. Switch on the power levels switch stage 2, after a
short delay the second stage contactors will
energise. Note: the power stage delay timer settings
should be verified as shown in item 4 under
"Commissioning - Electrical"
7.The boiler temperature will now rise as indicated
by the combined temperature and pressure gauge
8. The temperature will continue to rise until the
control thermostat temperature setting is reached
then the boiler will switch off.
Once these procedures have been followed the
system can be left to operate normally by the
following method.
1. Ensure that boiler thermostat is set to the desired
temperature
2.Turn the boiler on using the ON/OFF switch
3.Turn on power level switch 1
4.Turn on power level switch 2
5. Set timeclock (if fitted) and/or external controls
to desired boiler operating on/off times.
After one week of operation all electrical
connections should be re-checked for tightness and
the boiler water system checked for leaks and air
and rectified if necessary.
