SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Ravenheat boiler is for the use of central
anddomestichotwatercombined in one unit.
It is fitted with an automatic domestic hot
water priority valve.
A / (winter/summer) selector
switch is fitted to the left hand side of control
panel.With the only (summer) position
being for domestic hot water.
position being for central heating
with domestic hot water priority. The boiler
is equipped with a front cover which can be
removed for servicing. The data badge with
technical data is placed on the lower right
hand side of the frame.
1.2 Fig.1 Illustrates the general layout of
components.
Fig.2 Illustrates the operating princi-
ples described in section 2.
SECTION 2
2.1 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL SYSTEM
AND SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
2.2 Domestic hot water mode
When the appliance is in rest mode with
the mains neon and switch on.
Switch the summer/winter switch tap
position, with the heating circuit charged
with water (above 1 bar). If the domestic
hot water tap is turned on, the boiler will
function in the following sequence:
2.2.1 The pump starts.
The control board sensors.
The fan operates via the pressure switch and
sends a signal back to the ignition board that the
fan is running at maximum speed.
2.2.2 The spark ignition system is powered which in
turn commences the spark igniter to operate
and light the burner.
At this point the ignition board opens the gas
valve to light the burner.
2.2.3 When the electrode/sensor senses the signal
of the burner, the spark igniter stops.
2.2.4 From the minimum gas rate setting the
boiler increases to the maximum permissible
pressure over a period of 3 to 4 seconds and
will remain at its maximum required power
until its maximum regulated temperature.
2.2.5 When the domestic hot water tap is closed the
diverter valve goes back into rest mode, the
main burner is shut down along with the pump
and fan which are also switched off.
The pressure switch returns to its rest mode
2.2.6 Central heating mode
2.2.7 If the switch is positioned on with
a demand for heat to supply radiators,
6
etc ,with heating circuit fully so as to operate
thelowwatersensordevicetheboilerwillstart
in the same way as domestic hot water mode
but with slightly differing time delay in that it
will start on minimum and remain at this level
for about 1 minute, after which the flame will
lift to its maximum setting as governed by a
potentiometer range rates the heating circuit
between maximum and minimum power. As
the heating sensor reaches temperature the
gas burner power modulates down, the fan
speed willalsoreducetominimumfanspeed.
When starting, the fan will always start at
maximum speed.
2.2.8 On the control panel are mounted two
potentiometers (thermostats) these control
the temperature. One is for domestic hot
water and the other for heating.
2.2.9 The boiler is fitted with an anti-cycling device
on the control board. This delays the boiler
from re-firing over a 2/5 minute period when
in heating mode. The domestic hot water will
always take priority and is unaffected by the
anti-cycling device.
GENERAL FUNCTION
2.3 Central Heating Mode
2.3.1 A potentiometer installed on the electric circuit
board permits regulation of the boiler to partial
heating requirements, between maximum and
minimum settings.
2.3.2 Air is drawn by the fan for combustion.
2.3.3 Thefanalsoforcesexhaustgasthroughtheflue
to the outside, this creates a lesser pressure in
the sealed combustion chamber, thus sucking
in combustion air, through the inlet duct.
2.3.4 The boiler water temperature is automatically
controlled by a built in thermostat
2.3.5 Interior space temperature is set by the room
thermostat to be installed in the heating
system. The boiler already carries connection
terminals for this thermostat, as well as for a
timeclock.
The burner continues to operate until it is
stopped by the timer or one of the thermostats
2.3.6 When the internal C.H. temperature sensor
intervenes the main burner shuts down. The
fan stops but the pump continues to operate.
2.3.7 When the room thermostats intervene the
main burner shuts down. The fan stops and
the pump turns off.
2.3.8 The condensate trap is fitted with a blockage
safety sensor. This prevents the boiler
operating should there be a blockage in the
condensate discharge trap.

2.4 Domestic hot water mode
2.4.1 The heat exchanger in the D.H.W. circuit
is built into the main heat exchanger, and
domestic water is heated by converting
the water in the central heating circuit The
transference of heat is very high because the
two fluids move in a counter direction flow to
each other.
2.4.2 Switch 33 in the (winter) position.
Whenahotwatertapisturnedonadiaphragm
diverter valve excludes the central heating
circuit, the boiler automatically modulates to
maintain the domestic hot water at a constant
temperature.
Water temperature can be regulated using
the D.H.W. thermostat located on the front
control panel.
2.4.3 When domestic hot water is being drawn the
main burner and pump perform as they do
during central heating except that the burner
is commanded by the D.H.W. thermostat.
2.4.4 When D.H.W. is no longer called for the boiler
automatically returns to the central heating
mode.
2.4.5 Switch 33 in the (summer) position The
boilerfunctionslikeanautomaticgashotwater
heater When D.H.W. is no longer required the
main burner fan and pump immediately turn
off.
This also takes place when switch 33 is on
(winter) if there is no demand for
heat to the central heating system or until
the room thermostat/time clock demands for
central heating circuit.
3.1 SAFETY DEVICE
In both central heating and domestic hot
water mode safe operating is ensured by:
A differential pressure switch shuts off the
main burner if the fan stops or the flue or
combustion air intake duct is obstructed
3.1.2 An overheat cut off thermostat set slightly
higher than the high limit thermostat acts
to turn of the burner to resetable “lockout”
(Fig. 50) item 3.
3.1.3 A safety valve is fitted on the
central heating circuit set at
43 psi (3 bar).
3.2.1 A heating circuit (low water)
pressure switch is set at 0.4
bar.

G3 and L of the Building regulations and water
Bylaws Scheme - Approved Products.
4.5 GAS SUPPLY
4.5.1 A gas meter is connected to the service pipe
by the Local Gas Region or the Local Gas
Region contractor. An existing meter should
be checked preferably by the Gas Region to
ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with
the rate of gas supply required for all appliances
it serves. Installation pipes should be fitted in
accordance with BS 6891. Pipework from the
meter to the boiler must be of adequate size
(22 mm) min To within at least 3 metre of
the boiler (15 mm) min. can then be used for
remaining pipe work to the appliance. A smaller
size than the boiler inlet gas connection should
not be used The complete installation must be
tested for soundness as described in the above
Code
N.B. if the gas supply for the boiler serves
other appliances ensure an adequate
supply is available both to the boiler and the
other appliances when they are in use at the
same time.
4.6 FLUE SYSTEM
4.6.1 The terminal should be located where dispersal
of combustion products is not impeded and with
due regard for the damage or discolouration
that might occur to building products in the
vicinity (see fig. 6).
The terminal must not be located in a place
where it is likely to cause a nuisance In cold
and/or humid weather water vapour may
condense on leaving the flue terminal.
The effect of such steaming must be
considered
The terminal must not be closer than 25 mm (1
in) to any combustible material For protection
of combustibles, refer to BS 5440.1.
Where a flue terminal is installed less than
1000 mm. from a plastic, or painted gutter;
or 500 mm from painted eaves, an aluminium
shield 1000 mm. long, should be fitted to the
underside of the gutter or painted surface.
Pluming will occur at the terminal so, where
possible, terminal positions which could cause
a nuisance should be avoided.
The flue must be installed in accordance with
the recommendations of BS 5440: Part 1.
IMPORTANT NOTES
For greater flue lengths see twin flue instruc-
tions.
Flue must be positioned in a place not likely
to cause a nuisance.
IMPORTANT: The following notes are intended for
general guidance
The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal
is exposed to external air.
It is important that the position of the terminal al-
lows the free passage of air across it at all tirnes.
Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to
obstructions and ventnation opening are specified
in Fig. 6.
Note positions: Due to the terminal design,
installation is possible with clearances less than
those specified in BS 5440, Part 1

NOTE: The flue must be terminated in a place not
likely to cause a nuisance.
4.6.2 A concentric vertical flue kit is available for
flueing applications up to a maximum height of
4 metres.
For further details see vertical flue installation
instructions.
4.7 AIR SUPPLY
4.7.1 The following notes are intended for general
guidance.
The room sealed fan flued boiler does not
require a permanent air vent for combustion
air supply.
Where installed in a cupboard or compartment
ventilation is not required.
4.8 WATER CIRCULATION (central heating)
4.8.1 Detailed recommendations are given in
BS 6798:1987/5449:1990 (for smallbore
and microbore central heating systems).
The following notes are given for general
guidance.
4.8.2 Pipework
Copper tubing to BS 2871 1.1.1971 is
recommended for water pipes. Jointing should
be either with capillary soldered or with
compression fittings.
Where possible pipes should have a gradient
to ensure air is carried naturally to air release
points and water flows naturally to drain taps.
It should be ensured as far as possible that
the appliance heat exchanger is not a natural
collecting point for air except where providing
useful heat, pipes should be insulated to
prevent heat loss and to avoid freezing.
Particular attention should be paid to pipes
passing through ventilated spaces in roofs and
under floors.
4.8.3 The water through the appliance heat
exchanger circuit must exceed the min. 2.38
gals/min. (650 It/h) when the burner is firing. It
is important to ensure that this rate is achieved
when sections of the system are shut off either
manually or by automatic controls.
Therefore a by-pass must be fitted to the
system (15 mm min.) (Fig. 6A).
If the volume of circulating water is too low, the
boiler water temperature will rise too rapidly.
This could cause noise in the system or even
cause the safety thermostat to trip.

4.8.4 Draining tap
These must be located in accessible positions
to permit the draining of the whole system.
The taps must be at least 15 mm nominal size
and manufactured in accordance with BS 2870
1980.
4.8.5 Air release points
These must be fitted at all high points where
air will naturally collect, and must be sited to
facilitate complete filling of the system.

vessel to accommodate the increase of water
volume when the system is heated.
It can accept up to 6 Its of expansion water.
If the appliance is connected to a system with
an unusually high water content, calculate
the total expansion and add additional sealed
expansion capacity as appropriate (Fig. 7).
In general, modern systems will present no
problem.
4.8.7 Mains water feed: central heating
There must be no direct connection to the
mains water supply, even through a nonreturn
valve, without the approval of the Local Water
Authority.

B) Where fitting of a make up vessel would be
difficult, re pressurisation of the system can be
done. See section on FILLING. If the capacity
of the central heating system should exceed
110 Litres, an additional vessel should be
installed on the return to the combination boiler
from the heating system (Fig. 7). Guidance on
vessel sizing is given in (Table 3).
Reference should be made to British Gas
Publications, «Material and Installation
Specifications for Domestic Central Heating
and Hot Water». Draining taps should be
at least 1/2” in BSP nominal size and be in
accordance with BS 2879.
4.8.9 Installation to an existing central heating
system
The combination boiler is designed to operate
on a sealed system only. Therefore if the
existing system is of the open water type it will
have to be modified to comply with BS 5376
Part 2.
Before installing a new combination boiler to
an existing system, flush out the old system
with a recommended descaling agent.
Itismostimportantthatthecorrectconcentration
of the water treatment product is maintained
in accordance with the manufacturers’
instructions.
If the boiler is installed in an existing system
any unsuitable additives MUST be removed by
thorough cleansing.
BS 7593:1992 details the steps necessary
to clean domestic central heating system.
Also check pipework and renew any corroded
pipework or fittings. Valve glands must be
repacked or replaced wherever necessary and
any defective controls exchanged.
WATER TREATMENT
This boiler has a secondary ALUMINIUM alloy
heat exchanger Ravenheat recommended only
the use of FERNOX- COPAL or SENTINEL

5.5.10 Each extension length extends the pipe by
approximately 1000 mm long up to a maximum
of two extensions
Pipeline length can be established using the
instructions in section 5.5 for rear flue outlets
and section 5.7 for side flue outlets. Extensions
must be installed with the widened end of the
air intake pipe and the tapered end of the
flue pipe aimed towards the exhaust terminal.
Extensions must be joined together with the
standard terminal pipe, and inserted in each
other as far as they can go
If an extension must be shortened, this must
be done from the straight end, and not from the
widenedortaperedend.Tomeasurethepipeline
properly all components must be assembled
and total length measured before cutting. The
straight end of the extension connects to the
boiler. The flue output pipe fits into the boiler
header until it stops. The air intake pipe should
be located approximately 2 mm. from the boiler
header (Fig. 31).
When cutting both inner and outer ducts of the
extension, always ensure that the reduced end
(male) of the inner duct is longer than the outer
duct.
All joints must be sealed with the rubber seals
supplied.
It is important to put the centering spacer,
supplied with the unit, inside between the two
pipes, from the side opposite the extension’s
straight end.
NOTE: a suitable support bracket is available
from Ravenheat Manufacturing and should
be used to support flue length at least every
1.8 metre preferably at each joint this bracket
should be secured to wall and flue duct.
5.5.11 IN LINE FLUE BEND
Measure the distance between the flue bends or
the flue/terminal assembly. The measurements
should be taken from the outer edge of the flue
and bend (Fig. 39B).
IMPORTANT: inline flue bend - 1680 mm
must be deducted from overall length for each
90°bend. Obtuse flue bend - 1680 mm must
be deducted from overall length for each 135°
bend (Fig. 39B).
5.6 COMPLETING BOILER INSTALLATION
5.6.1 Reassemble the outer casing (sect 5.4)
proceeding in this order
1)Fit the two sides.
