Note. Gas consumption is calculated using a
caloric value of 38.7 MJ/m3 (1038 Btu/ft3) gross
or 34.9 MJ/m3 (935 Btu/ft3) nett
To obtain the gas consumption at a different
caloric value:
a. For l/s - divide the gross heat input
(kW) by the gross C.V. of the gas (MJ/m3)
b. For ft3/h - divide the gross heat input (Btu/h)
by the gross C.V. of the gas (Btu/ft3)

Logic Combi ES - Installation and Servicing
general
INTRODUCTION
The Logic Combi ES range of boilers are wall mounted, full
sequence, automatic spark ignition, low water content, fanned
ue, high efciency, condensing, combination gas boilers.
Note. Due to the high efciency of the boiler a plume of water
vapour will form at the terminal during operation.
Central heating (CH) output is fully modulating with a range of:
ES24 4.8 to 24.2kW (16,500 to 82,600 Btu/h)
ES30 6.1 to 24.2kW (20,700 to 82,600 Btu/h)
ES35 7.1 to 24.2kW (24,100 to 82,600 Btu/h)
Instantaneous domestic hot water (DHW) output is also fully
modulating with a maximum of :
ES24 24.2kW (82,600 Btu/h)
ES30 30.3kW (103,300 Btu/h)
ES35 35.3kW (120,500 Btu/h)
The boiler is supplied fully assembled with DHW plate heat
exchanger, diverter valve, circulating pump, pressure gauge,
safety valve and CH expansion vessel.
Variable CH and DHW temperature controls are tted on the user
control.
The boiler includes as standard:
- Automatic bypass
- Boiler frost protection
- Daily pump and diverter valve exercise.
The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel.
The boiler temperature controls are visible located in the control
panel on the front of the boiler.
The heat exchanger is manufactured from cast aluminium.
The boiler is suitable for connection to fully pumped, sealed
heating systems ONLY. Adequate arrangements for completely
draining the system by provision of drain cocks MUST be provided
in the installation pipework.
Pipework from the boiler is routed downwards.
Data Plate
The boiler model and serial number can be located on the bottom
of the boiler casing, shown in Frame 1 - Water & Gas Connection
Diagram.
OPERATION
With no demand for CH, the boiler res only when DHW is drawn
off.
When there is a demand for CH, the heating system is supplied
at the selected temperature of between 45oC and 80oC, until
DHW is drawn off. The full output from the boiler is then directed
via the diverter valve to the plate heat exchanger to supply a
nominal DHW draw-off of
ES24 9.9 l/min at 35 oC temperature rise.
ES30 12.4 l/min at 35 oC temperature rise.
ES35 14.5 l/min at 35 oC temperature rise.
The DHW draw off rate specied above is the nominal that the
boiler ow regulator will give. Due to system variations and
seasonal temperature uctuations DHW ow rates/temperature
rise will vary, requiring adjustment at the draw off tap.
At low DHW draw-off rate the maximum temperature is limited to
64 oC by the modulating gas control.
The boiler features a comprehensive diagnostic system which
gives detailed information on the boiler status when operating,
and performance of key components to aid commissioning and
fault nding.
SAFE HANDLING
This boiler may require 2 or more operatives to move it to its
installation site, remove it from its packaging base and during
movement into its installation location. Manoeuvring the boiler
may include the use of a sack truck and involve lifting, pushing
and pulling.
Caution should be exercised during these operations.
Operatives should be knowledgeable in handling techniques
when performing these tasks and the following precautions
should be considered:
• Grip the boiler at the base.
• Be physically capable.
• Use personal protective equipment as appropriate, e.g.
gloves, safety footwear.
During all manoeuvres and handling actions, every attempt
should be made to ensure the following unless unavoidable and/
or the weight is light.
• Keep back straight.
• Avoid twisting at the waist.
• Avoid upper body/top heavy bending.
• Always grip with the palm of the hand.
• Use designated hand holds.
• Keep load as close to the body as possible.
• Always use assistance if required.

The manufacturer’s notes must NOT be taken, in any way, as
overriding statutory obligations.
IMPORTANT. These appliances are CE certicated for safety
and performance. It is, therefore, important that no external
control devices, e.g. ue dampers, economisers etc., are
directly connected to these appliances unless covered by
these Installation and Servicing Instructions or as otherwise
recommended by  in writing. If in doubt please
enquire.
Any direct connection of a control device not approved by 
Boilers could invalidate the certication and the normal appliance
warranty. It could also infringe the Gas Safety Regulations and
the above regulations.
SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCES
No asbestos, mercury or CFCs are included in any part of the
boiler or its manufacture.

Logic Combi ES - Installation and Servicing
general
GAS SUPPLY
The local gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation
planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequate
supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT be used without
prior consultation with the local gas supplier.
The boiler MUST be installed on a gas supply with a governed
meter only.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or
by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer. In IE by a Registered Gas
Installer (RGII).
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas
supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the rate
of gas supply required.
It is the responsibility of the Gas Installer to size the gas
installation pipework in accordance with BS6891:2005. Whilst
the principle of the 1:1 gas valve ensures the Logic range is
able to deliver it’s full output at inlet pressures as low as 14mb,
other gas appliances in the property may not be as tolerant.
When operating pressures are found to be below the minimum
meter outlet of 19mb these should be checked to ensure this is
adequate for correct and safe operation.
Allowing for the acceptable pressure loss of 1mb across the
installation pipework, it can be assumed that a minimum permitted
operating pressure of 18mb will be delivered to the inlet of
the appliance. (Reference BS 6400-1 Clause 6.2 Pressure
Absorption).
The external gas cock could further reduce the operating pressure
when measured at its test point. The pressure drop is relative to
the heat input to the boiler (kW), refer to graph below.

IMPORTANT.
Installation pipes must be tted in accordance with BS.6891. In IE
refer to IS.813:2002.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas tightness and
purged as described in the above code.
FLUE INSTALLATION
Pluming will occur at the terminal so terminal positions where this
could cause a nuisance should be avoided.
The ue must be installed in accordance with the
recommendations of BS. 5440-1: 2008.
In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.
The following notes are intended for general guidance:
1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed
to external air.
LOCATION OF BOILER
The boiler must be installed on a at and vertical internal wall,
capable of adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any
ancillary equipment.
The boiler may be tted on a combustible wall and insulation
between the wall and the boiler is not necessary, unless required
by the local authority.
For electrical safety reasons there must be no access available
from the back of the boiler.
The boiler must not be tted outside.

If the boiler is to be tted in a timber framed building it should be
tted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineering document
IGE/UP/7:2006 - Edition 2.

This appliance is rated IP20.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although
particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the current
IEE (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and the electrical provisions
of the building regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to
the installation of the boiler in a room or internal space containing
a bath or shower. For IE reference should be made to the current
ETCI rules for electrical installations and I.S. 813:2002.
If the appliance is to be installed in a room containing a bath or
shower then, providing water jets are not going to be used for
cleaning purposes (as in communal baths/showers), the appliance
must be installed beyond Zone 2, as detailed in BS.7671.

A compartment used to enclose the boiler should be designed and
constructed specially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided that
it is modied for the purpose.
In both cases, details of essential features of cupboard /
compartment design, including airing cupboard installation, are to
conform to the following:
• BS 6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required - see ‘Air Supply’
for details).
• The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler.
• For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template and
Frame 1. In addition, sufcient space may be required to
allow lifting access to the wall mounting plate.
