2. Installation
2.1 General Instructions
BOILER INSTALLATION MUST ONLY BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THIS TECHNICAL MANUAL, THE PROVISIONS OF CURRENT LAW, THE PRE-
SCRIPTIONS OF NATIONAL STANDARDS AND LOCAL REGULATIONS AND THE RULES OF PROPER WORK-
MANSHIP
2.2 Place of installation
The combustion circuit is sealed with respect to the place of installation, therefore the unit can be installed in any room.
However, the place of installation must be sufficiently ventilated to prevent the creation of any dangerous conditions in
case of even small gas leaks. This safety precaution is required by EEC Directive no. 90/396 for all gas units, including
those with a so-called sealed chamber.
Therefore the place of installation must be free of dust, flammable materials or objects or corrosive gases. The room
must be dry and not subject to freezing.
The boiler is arranged for wall mounting and comes standard with a hooking bracket. The wall fixing must ensure stable
and effective support for the generator.
AIf the unit is enclosed in a cabinet or mounted alongside, a space must be provided for removing the casing
and for normal maintenance operations
2.3 Plumbing connections
Important
The heating capacity of the unit must be previously established by calculating the building's heat requirement according
to the current regulations. The system must be provided with all the components for correct and regular operation. It is
advisable to install shutoff valves between the boiler and heating system allowing the boiler to be isolated from the sys-
tem if necessary.
BThe safety valve outlet must be connected to a funnel or collection pipe to prevent water spurting onto the floor
in case of overpressure in the heating circuit. Otherwise, if the discharge valve cuts in and floods the room,
the boiler manufacturer cannot be held liable.
Do not use the water system pipes to earth electrical appliances.
Before installation, carefully wash all the pipes of the system to remove any residuals or impurities that could affect prop-
er operation of the unit.
BAlso, a filter must be installed on the system return pipe to prevent impurities or sludge from the system clog-
ging and damaging the heat generators.
The filter MUST be installed when replacing generators in existing systems. The manufacturer declines any
liability for damage caused to the generator by failure to install or inadequate installation of this filter.
Carry out the relevant connections according to the diagram in sec. 4.1 and the symbols given on the unit.

System water charcteristics
In the presence of water harder than 25° Fr (1°F = 10ppm CaCO3), the use of suitably treated water is advisable in order
to avoid possible scaling in the boiler. The treatment must not in any case reduce the hardness to values below 15°F
(Decree 236/88 for uses of water intended for human consumption). Water treatment is indispensable in the case of
very large systems or with frequent replenishing of water in the system. If partial or total emptying of the system be-
comes necessary in these cases, it is advisable to refill it with treated water.
Antifreeze system, antifreeze fluids, additives and inhibitors
The boiler is equipped with an antifreeze system that turns on the boiler in heating mode when the system delivery water
temperature falls under 6°C. The device will not come on if the electricity and/or gas supply to the unit are cut off. If it
becomes necessary, it is permissible to use antifreeze fluid, additives and inhibitors only if the manufacturer of these
fluids or additives guarantees they are suitable for this use and cause no damage to the heat exchanger or other com-
ponents and/or materials of the boiler unit and system. It is prohibited to use generic antifreeze fluid, additives or inhib-
itors that are not expressly suited for use in heating systems and compatible with the materials of the boiler unit and
system.

2.4 Gas connection
BBefore making the connection, ensure that the unit is arranged for operation with the type of fuel available and
carefully clean all the pipes of the gas system to remove any residues that could affect good functioning of the
boiler.
The gas must be connected to the relative connector (see fig. 31) in conformity with current standards, with rigid metal
pipes or with continuous flexible s/steel wall tubing, placing a gas cock between the system and the boiler. Make sure
that all the gas connections are tight. The capacity of the gas meter must be sufficient for the simultaneous use of all
equipment connected to it. The diameter of the gas pipe leaving the boiler does not determine the diameter of the pipe
between the unit and the meter; it must be chosen according to its length and loss of head, in conformity with current
standards.
BDo not use the gas pipes to earth electrical appliances.

2.5 Electrical connections
Connection to the electrical grid
BThe unit's electrical safety is only guaranteed when correctly connected to an efficient earthing system exe-
cuted according to current safety standards. Have the efficiency and suitability of the earthing system checked
by professionally qualified personnel. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused by failure
to earth the system. Also make sure that the electrical system is adequate for the maximum power absorbed
by the unit, as specified on the boiler dataplate.
The boiler is prewired and provided with a Y-cable and plug for connection to the electricity line. The connections to the
grid must be made with a permanent connection and equipped with a bipolar switch whose contacts have a minimum
opening of at least 3 mm, interposing fuses of max. 3A between the boiler and the line. It is important to respect the
polarities (LINE: brown wire / NEUTRAL: blue wire / EARTH: yellow-green wire) in making connections to the electrical
line. During installation or when changing the power cable, the earth wire must be left 2 cm longer than the others.
BThe user must never change the unit's power cable. If the cable gets damaged, switch off the unit and have it
changed solely by professionally qualified personnel. If changing the electric power cable, use solely “HAR
H05 VV-F” 3x0.75 mm2 cable with a maximum outside diameter of 8 mm.
Room thermostat (optional)
BCAUTION: The room thermostat must have clean contacts. CONNECTING 230 V. TO THE TERMINALS OF
THE ROOM THERMOSTAT WILL IRREPARABLY DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC CARD.
When connecting a remote timer control or a timer switch, do not take the power supply for these devices from
their cut-out contacts. Their power supply must be taken with a direct connection from the mains or with bat-
teries, depending on the kind of device.
External probe (optional)
Connect the probe to its respective terminals. The maximum permissible length for the boiler - external probe connec-
tion electrical cable is 50 m. A normal 2-wire cable can be used. The external probe should preferably be installed on
the North, North-West wall or that facing the largest area of living room. The probe must never be exposed to the early
morning sun or, insofar as possible, direct sunlight; protect it if necessary. In any case, the probe must not be installed
near windows, doors, ventilation openings, flues or heat sources that could affect the reading.

the various connections is given in the wiring diagram in fig. 34.
fig. 19 - Access to the electrical terminal board
2.6 Fume ducts
The unit is “C type" with sealed chamber and forced draught; the air inlet and fume exhaust must be connected to one
of the exhaust/inlet systems indicated below. The unit is approved for operation with all the Cxy flue configurations spec-
ified on the dataplate (some setups are given by way of example in this section). Some configurations may be expressly
limited or not permitted by local regulations, standards or laws. Before proceeding with installation, check and carefully
observe the above-mentioned prescriptions. Also, comply with the provisions concerning the positioning of wall and/or
roof terminals and the minimum distances from windows, walls, ventilation openings, etc.
BThis C-type unit must be installed using the fume exhaust and inlet pipes supplied by the manufacturer in ac-
cordance with UNI-CIG 7129/92. Failure to use them automatically invalidates every warranty and relieves the
manufacturer of any liability.
AFor fume exhaust pipes longer than 1 metre, during installation take into account the natural expansion of the
materials when the boiler is operating.
To prevent deformations leave an expansion space of approx. 2-4 mm for every metre of pipe.

3.1 Adjustments
Gas supply conversion
The unit can operate on Natural Gas or LPG and is factory-set for use with one of these two gases, as clearly shown
on the packing and on the dataplate. Whenever a different gas to that for which the unit is arranged has to be used, a
conversion kit will be required, proceeding as follows:
1. Remove the casing.
2. Open the sealed chamber.
3. Release the fixing clip Cand remove the gas pipeAfrom the fan - venturi assembly.
4. Replace the nozzle Binserted in the gas pipe with that contained in the conversion kit.
5. Reassemble the gas pipe Awith the clip and check the seal of the connection.
6. Apply the plate contained in the conversion kit, near the dataplate.
7. Refit the sealed chamber and casing.
8. Modify the parameter for the type of gas:
• switch the boiler to standby mode
• press the DHW buttons (detail 1 and 2 - fig. 1) for 10 seconds: the display shows “P01“ flashing.
• press the DHW buttons (details 1 and 2 - fig. 1) to set the parameter 00 (for operation with natural
gas) or 01 (for operation with LPG).
• press the DHW buttons (details 1 and 2 - fig. 1) for 10 seconds.
• the boiler will return to the standby mode
9. Using a combustion analyser connected to the boiler fume outlet, check that the CO 2 content in the fumes (with
the boiler operating at max. and min. output) complies with the value given in the technical data table for the corre-
sponding gas type.
