Outside Temperature Compensation (OTC)
When the optional external sensor is installed the boiler adjustment system works with "OTC". In this mode, the heating
system temperature is regulated according to weather conditions, to ensure a high comfort and energy efficiency
throughout the year. In particular, as the outside temperature increases the system flow temperature decreases accord-
ing to a specific "compensation curve".
With the “OTC“ adjustment, the temperature set with the heating buttons (detail 3 - fig. 1 ) becomes the maximum system
flow temperature. It is advisable to set a maximum value to allow system adjustment throughout its useful operating range.
The boiler must be adjusted at the time of installation by fully trained personnel. However, the user can make any further
adjustments necessary to optimise comfort levels.
Compensation curve and curve offset
Press the reset button (detail 6 - fig. 1) for 5 seconds to access the “OTC” menu; the display shows “CU” flashing.

2.2 Place of installation
The combustion circuit is sealed with respect to the
place of installation and therefore the unit can be in-
stalled in any room. However, the place of installation
must be sufficiently ventilated to prevent the creation
of dangerous conditions in case of even slight gas
leaks. This safety regulation is provided for by EEC Di-
rective no. 90/396 for all gas units, including those with
a sealed chamber.
In any case, the place of installation must be free of dust,
flammable materials or objects or corrosive gases.
The boiler is arranged for wall mounting and comes
standard with a hanging bracket. A paper template for
marking the drilling points on the wall is provided in the
box. The wall fixing must ensure stable and effective
support for the boiler.
AIf the unit is enclosed in a cabinet or mounted
alongside, a space must be provided for re-
moving the casing and for normal mainte-
nance operations. The minimum
measurements to be respected are given in
fig. 17.

2.3 Plumbing connections
Important
The heating capacity of the boiler must be previously established by calculating the building's heat requirement according
to the current regulations. To ensure proper operation and long boiler life, the plumbing system must be adequately sized
and complete with all the necessary accessories, including a room thermostat, a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV), etc.
The system flow and return pipes must have a diameter of at least 22 mm for the first 3 m of length from the unit.
If the system delivery and return pipes follow a path where air pockets could form in certain places, it is advisable to
install vent valves at these points. Also, install type "A" drain cocks at the lowest points in the system to allow complete
emptying.
The temperature drop between the delivery manifold and the return to the boiler should not exceed 20 °C.
A flow rate of at least 6 litres/min through the heat exchanger is required.
BDo not use the water system pipes to earth electrical appliances.
Before installation, carefully flush all the heating system pipes to remove any residuals or impurities that could affect
proper operation of the unit (as required by BS 7593 Building regs Doc L).
BThe safety valve discharge must be connected to a 15 mm diameter copper pipe descending from the boiler
to run off system water in case of overpressure in the heating circuit. Otherwise, the boiler manufacturer
cannot be held liable if the discharge valve operates and floods the room. The discharge must be run
to the outside of the building to prevent the risk of damage or injury caused by discharged hot water in case
of overpressure in the system.

Typical System By-pass layout
fig. 18
The automatic by-pass must be installed a least 3 metres from the boiler & set to allow a minimum of 6 ltr/min through
the valve when all TRV's are closed.
Make up water
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798, for
methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's central heat-
ing system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to charge and pressurise the system directly, is con-
ditional upon the Local Water Byelaws. Again any such connection must be disconnected after use. Ensure the filling
point is on the return pipe to the boiler.
Attention - is drawn to the Model Water Byelaws.
Filling Loop in fig. 19 is supplied with boiler.
The maximum domestic water pressure for the inlet supply is 9 bar (130 P.S.I.). If the cold mains supply exceeds 5 bar
(72 P.S.I.), a water governor or pressure reducing valve must be fitted by the installer into the mains supply in an incon-
spicuous but accessible position preferably between 3 and 5 metres (10-16ft) before the appliance. Such a valve must
be approved by WRAS. The fitting of a DHW expansion vessel is also recommended.

Important
BConnections to the boiler must be made in such a way as to ensure that its internal pipes and fittings are free
of stress. If a pressure reducing valve C/W non-return is installed to the boilers cold water supply it must be
situated at least 3 metres from the boiler or a mini expansion vessel suitable for potable water, & correctly
sized, may be used.
BBefore installation, flush all the pipes of the system thoroughly to remove any residuals or impurities that could
affect correct operation of the unit.
In case of replacement of boiler within existing installations, the system must be completely emptied and
cleaned of any sludge and pollutants. For that purpose only use suitable guaranteed products for heating sys-
tems (see next section), that do not harm metals, plastics or rubber. The manufacturer declines any liability
for damage caused to the boiler by failure to clean the system to BS7593 & correctly dose with an ap-
proved inhibitor.
Make the connections to the respective points (see fig. 20 and fig. 56) as per the symbols on the bottom of the unit.
Antifreeze system, antifreeze fluids, additives and inhibitors
When necessary, antifreeze fluids, additives and inhibitors can be used only if the manufacturer of such fluids or addi-
tives guarantees that they are suitable and will not cause damage to the heat exchanger or other components and/or
materials within the boiler and system. Any products used must be suitable & approved for use within a domestic heating
system & noted within the benchmark certificate, a suitable label must be attached to the boiler indicating the products
used & any COSH advisory information, a warning stating "Do Not Drain" must also be on the label.

System water characteristics
BLUEHELIX TECH RRT 28 C boilers are suitable for sealed systems only.
The water within a heating system must have the characteristics required by UNI 8065, and comply with laws and reg-
ulations in force and the provisions of EN14868 (protection of metallic materials against corrosion).
The return water from the heating system should have a "magnetic type filter" fitted to prevent any magnetite from en-
tering the pump assembly or heat exchanger
The filling water (first filling and subsequent replenishment) must be clear, with hardness below 120ppm / mg/litre and
treated with suitable chemical conditioners against the initiation of corrosion, that are not aggressive on metals and plas-
tics, do not develop gases, in low-temperature systems, & do not cause proliferation of bacterial or microbial masses.
The water in the system must be periodically checked at least once a year with the annual boiler service.The water should
possibly have a clear appearance, & a hardness level below 60ppm for new systems and below 80ppm for existing sys-
tems, pH above 7 and below 8.5, iron content (Fe) below 0.5 mg/l, copper content (Cu) below 0.1 mg/l, chloride content
below 50mg/l, electrical conductivity below 200 μs/cm, and must contain chemical conditioners in a concentration sufficient
to protect the system for at least one year. Bacterial or microbial loads must not be present in low temperature systems
Recommended chemical conditioners:
SENTINEL X100 Inhibitor and SENTINEL X300 Cleaner
FERNOX F1 Inhibitor and FERNOX F3 Cleaner
SCALEMASTER SM-1 or SM-Pro Inhibitor and SM-3 or SM-Pro Cleaner
The unit is equipped with a frost protection system that activates the boiler in heating mode when the system flow water
temperature falls below 6°C. The device is not active if the power and/or gas supply to the unit has been isolated. If
necessary, for system protection use a suitable antifreeze liquid that meets the same requirements as detailed above
and written in Standard UNI 8065.
The presence of deposits on the boilers heat exchange surfaces due to non-compliance with the above require-
ments will invoke the remainder of the warranty.
2.4 Gas connection

Manufacturer declines any liability for damage caused by failure to earth the system.
The boiler is prewired and provided with a three core cable, for connection to the electrical supply. The con-
nection to the supply must be made permanent with a double pole switched fused spur with a minimum contact
opening of at least 3 mm, a maximum fuse of rating of 3A in the Live side of the switch to the boiler. Ensure
the polarities are correct (LIVE: brown wire / NEUTRAL: blue wire / EARTH: yellow-green wire in the connec-
tions to the power supply.
BThe boiler's supply cable MUST NOT BE REPLACED BY THE USER If the cable gets damaged, turn the
boiler off and have the cable replaced only by professionally qualified personnel. In case of replace-
ment, only use cable type “HAR H05 VV-F” 3x0.75 mm2 with max. external diameter of 8 mm. Do not splice
into the existing power cable supply for another control device as this will void any remaining warranty with the
boiler & may render the appliance unsafe to work on or use.

2.7 Condensate drain connection
IMPORTANT
The boiler has an internal trap for draining condensate. Install the push on hose “B” & sediment bowl before commis-
sioning, the boiler fill the trap with approx. 0.5 L of water and connect the hose to a solvent welded waste system. For
safety reasons the hose must form a tight seal into the waste system.
BATTENTION: THE UNIT MUST NEVER BE OPERATED WITH THE TRAP EMPTY!
OTHERWISE THERE IS A DANGER THAT PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION COULD ENTER THE ROOM.

Condensate drain
(Please follow BS 6798 or Industry Guidance for Installers on Condensate pipe Installation)
The condensate should be run inside as far as is practicably possible. For that purpose, use a pipe of at least 22 mm
diameter and a trap with flexible connection supplied with the unit to facilitate connection of the condensate drain pipe.
The pipe must be in solvent weld plastic and not in copper, since the condensate has a pH of 4 (slightly acid).
If the condensate drain pipe cannot be run on the inside, then it is advisable to run it outside & into a gully connected to
a sewer system.
The pipe sections going to the outside are exposed to the risk of freezing in particularly extreme weather conditions. To
prevent this from occurring, it is advisable to reduce the length of the condensate drain pipes and run them on the inside,
as much as possible, before going to the outside. It is mandatory to insulate the condensate pipe or apply a trace heat-
ing device to help prevent freezing of the condensate.
The pipes outside the building must be in solvent weld plastic with increased diameter of 40 mm covered with "Class 0"
pipe insulation with a maximum length of 3m & connected to a condensate collection soakaway or external drain.
If using a condensate collection soakaway, it must be as indicated in the figure below, or use a specific system (such
as Mc Alpine SOAK1GR) available from the majority of plumbing and heating suppliers.
