1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Introduction
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Pegasus F3 N 2S, a FERROLI floor-standing boiler featuring advanced
design, cutting-edge technology, high reliability and quality construction. Please read this manual
carefully and keep it for future reference.
Pegasus F3 N 2S is a high-efficiency heat generator for central heating running on natural or liquid gas
and regulated by an advanced electronic control system.
The boiler shell consists of cast-iron elements whose particular shape guarantees high exchange
efficiency under all operating conditions and an open-flue burner equipped with electronic ignition
and ionization flame control.
The boiler outfit moreover includes an automatic boiler air vent valve, a 2-stage control thermostat
and a safety thermostat.
Thanks to the electronic ignition and flame control system, unit operation is for the most part
automatic.
The user only has to set the system temperature by means of the control thermostat.

1.3 Turning on and off
Ignition
• Open the gas valve ahead of the boiler.
• Turn on or insert any switch or plug ahead of the boiler
• Turn the boiler switch “7” onto 1 (Fig. 1).
• Turn knob “6” to the preselected temperature and any room thermostat to the desired temperature
value. At this point, the burner will light and the boiler begins to function automatically, controlled
by its adjustment and safety devices.
• If the boiler is equipped with an electronic thermostatic controller mounted at position 1 of Fig. 1,
the user must also take into account the manufacturer’s instructions.
If, after correctly carrying out the lighting procedure, the burners do not light and the pushbutton
light “5” comes on, wait about 15 seconds and then press the above-mentioned pushbutton.
The flame controller reset in this way will then repeat the ignition cycle. If the burners do not
light after a number of attempts, consult the anomalies paragraph.
In case of an electrical power failure while the boiler is working, the burners will go out and
re-ignite automatically when power is restored.
Turning off
Close the gas cock ahead of the boiler, turn knob “7” onto the 0 position and disconnect the
electrical power.
To avoid damage caused by freezing during long shutdowns in winter, it is advisable to drain all
water from the boiler and the system; or add a suitable antifreeze to the heating system.
The boiler switch 7 has 3 positions, “0-1-TEST”; the first two have the on-off function, the third
(unstable) must only be used for service and maintenance purposes.
1.4 Adjustments
System temperature adjustment
Turn knob 6 (Fig. 1) clockwise to increase the heating water temperature, turn anticlockwise to decrease
it. The temperature can be varied from a minimum of 30°C to a maximum of 90°C. However, it is
advisable not to operate the boiler below 45°C.
Room temperature adjustment (with optional room thermostat)
Using the room thermostat, set the temperature desired in the rooms. Controlled by the room
thermostat, the boiler lights and delivers water to the system at the temperature set by boiler
adjustment thermostat 6 (Fig. 1). The generator turns off when the desired temperature in the
rooms is reached.
If the room thermostat is not installed the boiler will keep the system at the temperature set
by the boiler control thermostat.
Water system pressure adjustment
The filling pressure with system cold, read on boiler hydrometer (detail 2 in Fig.1), must be about 1.0 bar.
If, during operation, the system pressure falls (caused by the evaporation of gas dissolved in the water) to
values below the minimum described above, the user must bring it back to the initial value by operating
the filling cock. At the end of the operation always close the filling cock.

Pegasus F3 N 2S
1.5 Maintenance
The user must have the heating system serviced by qualified personnel at least once a year and combustion
checked at least every two years. Consult chapter 3.3 of this manual for more information.
The boiler casing, panel and aesthetic parts can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth, possibly soaked in
soapy water. Do not use any abrasive detergents and solvents.
1.6 Anomalies
Listed below are the anomalies that can be caused by simple, user-solvable problems.
Before calling the assistance service, check that the problem is not due to there being no
gas or electricity.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 General Instructions
This device must only be used for the purpose for which it is specially designed.
This unit is designed to heat water to a temperature below boiling point at atmospheric
pressure and must be connected to a heating system and/or a water supply system for
domestic use, compatible with its performance, characteristics and its heating capacity.
Any other use is considered improper.
THE BOILER MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THIS TECHNICAL MANUAL, THE PROVISIONS OF CURRENT LAW,
ANY LOCAL REGULATIONS AND THE RULES OF PROPER WORKMANSHIP.
Incorrect installation can cause damage or physical injury for which the manufacturer declines
any responsibility.
2.2 Place of installation
This unit is an “open chamber” type and can only be installed and operated in permanently ventilated
rooms. An insufficient flow of combustion air to the boiler will affect its normal operation and fume
evacuation. Also, the fumes forming under these conditions (oxides) are extremely harmful to health
if dispersed in the domestic environment.
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.
When positioning the boiler, leave sufficient space around it for normal maintenance activities.
2.3 Plumbing connections
The heating capacity of the unit should be previously established by calculating the building’s heat
requirement according to current regulations. For good operation and long life of the boiler, the
plumbing system must be well proportioned and always complete with all those accessories that
guarantee regular operation and running.
If the 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 a discharge device at the lowest point in
the system to allow its complete emptying.
If the boiler is installed at a lower level than the system, it is advisable to provide a flow-stop valve to
prevent the natural circulation of system water.
The temperature drop between the delivery manifold and the return to the boiler should not
exceed 20°C.
Do not use the water system pipes to earth electrical appliances.
Before installation, carefully wash all the pipes of the system to remove residues or impurities that
could affect the unit’s good working.
Make the connections to the corresponding connections as shown in Fig. 2.

8
Pegasus F3 N 2S
It is advisable to install on-off valves between the boiler and heating
system allowing the boiler to be isolated from the system if neces-
sary.
Make the boiler connection in such a way that its internal
pipes are free of stress.
fig. 2
Characteristics of the water system
In the presence of water harder than 25° Fr, we recommend the use of suitably conditioned water in order
to avoid possible scaling in the boiler, caused by hard water, or corrosion produced by aggressive water.
It should be remembered that, because of its low thermal conductivity, even scaling of just a few mm thick
causes significant overheating of the boiler walls with consequent serious problems.
Water treatment is indispensable in the case of very large systems (containing large amounts of water) or
with frequent introduction of replenishing water in the system. If partial or total emptying of the system
becomes necessary under these conditions, it is advisable to refill it with treated water.
Filling boiler and system
The filling pressure with system cold system must be about 1 bar. If, during operation, the system
pressure falls (caused by evaporation of gas dissolved in the water) to a value below the minimum
described above, the user must bring it back to the initial value. For correct operation of the boiler,
when hot, its pressure must be about 1.5-2 bar.
2.4 Gas connection
Before 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. 2) 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.
Do not use the gas pipes to earth electrical appliances.

2.5 Electrical Connections
Connection to the electrical grid
The boiler must be connected to a single-phase, 230 Volt-50 Hz electric line.
The unit’s electrical safety is only guaranteed when correctly connected to an efficient earthing
system executed 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, in particular ensuring that the section of the system’s cables is suitable
for the power absorbed by the unit.
The boiler is prewired and supplied with a connector located inside the control panel, arranged for
connection to an electronic thermostatic controller (see wiring diagrams in paragraph 4.5). In addition,
it is equipped with a three-pole cable for connection to the electricity line. The mains connections
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.
Access to the electrical terminal board and internal components of the
control panel
To access the electrical components inside the control panel, follow the sequence in
Fig. 3 - 4 - 5 - 6.

2.6 Connection to the flue
The diameter of the flue connection pipe must not be less than that of the connection on the
anti-backflow device. Starting from the anti-backflow device it must have a vertical section at least
50 cm long. Current standards must be complied with regarding the dimensioning and installation
of the flues and connection pipe.
The diameters of the anti-backflow device collars are given in the table of Fig. 2.
2.7 Installing module generators
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 PRESCRIPTIONS OF UNI AND CEI STANDARDS, ANY LOCAL REGULATIONS AND THE
RULES OF PROPER WORKMANSHIP.
General Warnings
It is advisable to install on-off valves between the boiler (module) and the system allowing the
boiler to be isolated from the system if necessary. In this case each boiler must be fitted with a
safety valve operating on the delivery pipe.
If the 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.
The heating water temperature drop, the difference between the system delivery and return temperature,
must be lower than 20°C. To prevent condensation in the boiler and the associated damage.
Evacuate the products of combustion by means of a flue, whose cross-section must conform to current
standards and anyhow be no less than that of the coupling to the module generator fume manifold. If it is
wished to use manifolds to discharge the fumes, see the charts of Fig. 8 and 9.
All the couplings between the boiler and the flue must be airtight.
The capacity of the gas meter must be sufficient for the simultaneous use of all the generators
connected to it.
Make the various boiler connections in such a way that their pipes are free of mechanical stress.
Make the gas connections of the single generators in accordance with current regulations.
Any additional sensitive elements of the system’s con-
trol and safety devices, temperature sensor, pressure
switch, thermostat bulb, etc., must be located on the
delivery pipe within 40 cm. of the rear wall of the boiler
casing (see Fig. 7).

Characteristics of the system water
In the presence of water harder than 25° - 30° Fr, we recommend the use of suitably conditioned
water for the heating system in order to avoid possible scaling in the boiler, caused by hard water,
or corrosion produced by aggressive water. It should be remembered that, because of its low
thermal conductivity, even scaling of just a few mm thick causes significant overheating of the boiler
walls with consequent serious problems.
Water treatment is indispensable for the heating system in the following cases:
A)very large systems (containing large amounts of water):
B) frequent introduction of replenishing water in the system, in the case of draining the
system either partially or totally.
Positioning the module generators and connecting the flues to the manifold
The set of module generators can comprise at most 4 units; depending on controller requirements they
can be arranged with the modules either facing each other or in a line.
Position the generators and connect the fume extraction pipes according to the diagrams and data
given in the charts of Fig. 8 - 9. Seal the various pipe joints.

Electrical connection of module generators
Each generator comprising the modular assembly is supplied pre-wired for both the adjustments and
the safety devices. It can therefore operate on its own (see wiring diagrams of paragraph 4.5). Connect
each generator to a single-phase electric line of 230 V ~ 50 Hz, neutral phase, via a terminal board or
regular plug, inserting fuses max. 2 A between the boiler and the line.
It is always important to connect each generator to a good earthing system.
If you want the generators forming the modular assembly to work in cascade, you will need to
use an electronic sequence controller.
Electronic sequence controller (supplied on request)
Each generator forming the modular assembly is fitted for installing an electronic sequence controller
(Fig. 10) that can be secured to the instrument panel by simply removing the plug 1 (Fig. 1). To access
the components inside the instrument panel, see paragraph 2.5.
A single sequence controller is needed for each set of module generators.
The instructions manual for connecting, adjusting and programming the electronic sequence controller
as well as for the various types of system is contained in the controller package.
Fundamental functions of the electronic sequence controller
- Reduction interlocked with outside temperature (climate control).
- Programming on two different temperature levels (economy and comfort).
- Daily programming with up to three actions on one level and three on the other.
- Setting the daily program for the whole week.
- Rotating the action sequence every 24 hours to distribute module wear.
- Smart forced starting.
- Smart ON-OFF time control in the action cycle.
- Checking pump starting according to the outside temperature.
- Self-diagnosis for malfunctioning.

3. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
3.1 Adjustments
All adjustment and conversion operations must be carried out by Qualified Personnel.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or physical injury caused by unqualified and
unauthorized persons tampering with the device.
Adjusting the burner gas pressure
The Pegasus F3 N 2S boilers are made to burn natural or liquid gas. The pressure setting and
test are performed in the factory.
However, as there may be changes in supply pressure, at the time of the first ignition it will be
necessary to check and perhaps adjust the pressure at the nozzles, observing the values given in
the technical data chart in paragraph 4.3.
The operations for adjusting the pressure are performed with the boiler working, using the pressure
control on the 2-stage gas valves (see Fig. 14).
Preliminary operations:
1Ignite the boiler and turn the control thermostat knob onto minimum.
2Connect a pressure gauge to the pressure point on the gas manifold pipe of the burner
assembly (see part 14 in Fig. 24).
3Take off the cover protecting the pressure regulator 4 (Fig. 14).
Adjusting the minimum power (1st stage)
1Slowly turn the adjustment thermostat knob clockwise as far as the 1st click; the gas valve will thus
be supplied solely on connections A and B (see Fig. 14).
2Turn the screw 6 (Fig. 14), checking that the pressure corresponds to the values of the technical
data chart in paragraph 4.3.
Adjusting the maximum power (2nd stage)
1Turn the adjustment thermostat knob onto maximum; the gas valve will now be supplied on
connections A, B and C (see Fig. 14).
2Turn the screw 5 (Fig. 14), checking that the pressure corresponds to the values of the technical
data chart in paragraph 4.3.
The adjustment operations must be performed uniformly on the pressure regulators of all
the valves.
The gas pressures measured at the burner gas manifold should be read at least 30 seconds after
making the adjustments, i.e. when the flame has stabilized.
On completing the adjustment operations, turn the burner on and off 2 - 3 times with the adjustment
thermostat and check that the pressure values are the ones you have just set; if this is not so, you need
to make another adjustment to bring the pressures to the right values.
Gas supply conversion
The unit can function with either Natural gas (G20) or liquid gas (G30-G31) and is factory-set for use with
one of the two gases, as clearly shown on the packing and dataplate. Whenever the unit has to be used
with a different gas, a conversion kit will be required, proceeding as follows:

Pegasus F3 N 2S
From natural to liquid gas
1Replace the nozzles at the main burner and pilot light, inserting the nozzles specified in the
technical data table in chap. 4.3.
2Remove the small plug 3 (Fig. 14) from the gas valve, screw the ignition “STEP” regulator 2, contained
in the conversion kit, onto the valve and put the plug 3 back onto the regulator.
3Adjust the burner gas pressures, for minimum and maximum power as described in the above
paragraph, setting the values given in the technical data chart in paragraph 4.3.
4Operations 2 and 3 must be performed on all the valves.
5Apply the sticker, contained in the conversion kit, near the dataplate as proof of the conversion.
From liquid to natural gas
Carry out the same operations explained above, taking care to remove the ignition “STEP” regulator 2
(Fig. 14) of the gas valve; the plug 3 (Fig. 14) must be fitted straight onto the valve.
