2.2.3 Mounting the Remeha Avanta Plus
LT.AL.W7H.000.012
• Remove the mounting plate and template from the box.
• Using the template determine and mark the position of the
three mounting holes and center line of flue, making sure
the plate is absolutely level.
• Drill the (Ø 10 mm) holes.
• Fit the (Ø 10 mm) plugs.
• Fit (Ø 8 mm) screws into the plugs.
• Check the mounting plate is level and tighten the screws.
• Fit the valve set to the mounting plate.
• Fit fibre washers on the CH valves.
• Remove boiler from the box and suspend it on mounting
plate.
• Connect the valves to the boiler remembering to fit fibre
washers supplied.
• Connect the supplied copper tails to the isolating valves.
m
• The boiler should be mounted on a suitable vertical wall
which is able to support the weight of the boiler.
• The boiler should be mounted in a room which, even during
severe cold weather, remains frost-free.
• If the boiler is to be installed in a timber framed building,
please refer to British Gas publication: ‘Guide for Gas
Installations in Timber frame Housing’, reference DM2.
• In a new installation it is possible to fit just the wall plate and
valve set to enable the system pipework to be completed
and tested before fitting the boiler at a later date (place
fibre washers supplied in a safe place for use when fitting
the boiler).
z
• Make sure the boiler and any open connections are
protected from building etc. dust during the installation.
• There must be a 3 amp fused switched spur within 1m of
the boiler.
• Provision must be made for the condensate discharge.
2.3 Water-side connections
2.3.1 Water flow
An internal automatic flow by-pass is supplied in the Avanta
Plus to ensure correct operation on systems fitted with TRV’s
on all heat emitters. The ‘abc®’ control also monitors the tem-
perature difference across the flow and return connections and
the rate of temperature rise and will automatically regulate the
boiler output to ensure that it remains operational for as long
as possible without the need to ‘lock out’ requiring a manual
re-set.

Grundfos UPR 15-60 and the Avanta Plus 35c and 39c with
the UPR 15-70, two-speed circulation pumps. The control unit
ensures that when the hot-water function is active, the pump
runs at ‘high’. The factory setting of the pump for CH func-
tion is ‘low.’ If necessary, the service installer can adjust this
to ‘high’ by switching parameter 21 (from 0to 1) see par.
2.9.8.
LT.AL.W7H.000.013
LT.AL.W7H.000.014
2.3.3 Additional guidelines for the domestic and CH water
• The system should be filled with mains cold water (for the
UK this will usually have a pH of between 7 and 8).
• Power flush the pipes and radiators thoroughly to remove
all fluxes and debris before connecting the boiler to the cen-
tral heating system in accordance with BS 7593 (1992).
m
• The temperature of the central heating pipes and the
radiators can rise to 95°C.
• Use untreated tap water only to fill the CH system.
• The pH value of the system water must be between 6 and 9.
• In case inhibitors are being used, please follow the
instructions given in par. 2.3.4.
2.3.4 Water treatment
If used correctly water treatment can improve the boilers
efficiency and increase the anticipated life expectancy of the
boiler. For further information a special document “Quality
requirements CH water” is available from Broag.
As most systems contain a variety of metals, it is considered
good practice to provide some form of water treatment in order
to prevent or reduce the following:
• Metallic corrosion
• Formation of scale and sludge
• Microbiological contamination
• Chemical changes in the untreated system water
m
All scale deposits however small will reduce the efficiency of
the boiler and should be prevented.
Suitable chemicals and their use should be discussed with a
specialist water treatment company prior to carrying out any
work (environmental aspects, health aspects). The specifica-
tion of the system and manufacturers recommendations must
be taken into account, along with the age and condition of
the system. New systems should be flushed thoroughly to
BS 7593(1992) to remove all traces of flux, debris, grease
and metal swarf generated during installation. Care to be
taken with old systems to ensure any black metallic iron oxide
sludge and other corrosive residues are removed, again by
power flushing, ensuring that the system is drained completely
from all low points.

12
Remeha Avanta Plus
z
Please ensure that the new boiler plant is not in circuit when
the flushing takes place, especially if cleansing chemicals are
used to assist the process.
It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after installa-
tion, system modifications, filling the system and every service
in accordance with these instructions.
For the correct dosage and the suitability of inhibitors for use
with our boilers and for further information on water treatment
or system cleaning we advise direct contact with either of the

2.3.5 Safety valve discharge
A pressure relief safety valve is fitted in the boiler set to the
maximum operating pressure of the boiler at 3 bar.
If the pressure in the boiler becomes too high the pressure is
relieved by releasing water outside via the safety valve dis-
charge pipe. The safety valve discharge pipe must be at least
15 mm Ø. The discharge should be terminated facing down-
wards exterior to the building in a position where discharging
water will not create danger or nuisance but remains in a vis-
ible position.

13
2.3.6 Expansion vessel
An 8 litre expansion vessel (with the vessel charge set to 1.0
bar) is fitted as standard within the boiler case and is suitable
for use in a heating system with a water content up to 100
litres, operating at a flow temperature of 80°C, a maximum
pressure of 3 bar and a maximum system static head of 5
metres above the boiler. If the system water content is greater
than 100 litres, or the system static head above the boiler is
greater than 5 m, an additional vessel must be installed in the
system to allow for the increase in expansion, see table 01.

It is considered good practice to install an air separator / dirt
removal device in the return to the boiler.
2.3.9 Connecting ‘CH flow’
LT.AL.W7H.000.017
• Fit the outlet pipe for CH water to the ‘CH flow’ 22 mm
Ø connection.
o
The Remeha Avanta Plus has a drain cock built into the flow
isolating valve.

15
2.3.10 Connecting condensate drain
LT.AL.W7H.000.018
• Connect the condensate drain outlet to a suitable
waste water drain point using acid resisting pipe work
(i.e. - ¾” overflow). To enable the siphon in the boiler to be
removed / serviced, the connection should not be a perma-
nent one (i.e. “push fit” system).
• To prevent the risk of freezing connect the condensate into
an internal vertical soil pipe using a tundish (air break) c/w
a min 75 mm water seal trap.
• If the condensate pipe has to run externally make sure
this is done by realizing the shortest possible route, and
increase the diameter to at least 1¼” or insulate it with
weather resistant insulation.
• The drain should slope at least 3 cm per meter, with a maxi-
mum horizontal length of 5 m.
z
• If connecting into an internal discharge branch (i.e. sink
waste etc) the connection must be down stream of the
existing waste trap.
• Fill the boiler siphon with water before operation, to prevent
flue gasses discharging into the room.
• The condensate drain must be connected in accordance
with current regulations.
2.3.11 Connecting under floor heating
The Remeha Avanta Plus can be connected directly to an
under floor heating system.
If plastic pipes have been used they must be made oxygen dif-
fusion proof in compliance with DIN 4726/4729.
When installing under floor heating with a separate pump, the
layout should be such that the under floor heating pump can-
not cause a flow to the boiler if there is no heat demand. A low
loss header should therefore be fitted between the system and
the boiler.
z
Please ensure that the residual pump duty of the boiler is
sufficient for the resistance of the under floor system. If not a
low loss header should be used to separate the boiler from
the under floor circuit to allow a separate pump sized for the
resistance of the under floor system to be used.
2.4 Gas-side connections
2.4.1 Additional guidelines for gas connections
m
Before installation, check that the gas meter has sufficient
capacity for the demand. Remember to consider the
consumption of all household appliances.

16
Remeha Avanta Plus
2.4.2 Adjusting boiler to other gas-type
The Avanta Plus boilers are suitable for both natural gas and
propane firing. For the Avanta Plus 39c an optional LPG-set is
needed. The boilers are supplied as standard set for natural
gas (H), therefore the following procedure must be carried out
BEFORE the boilers are fired and commissioned for the first
time on propane: Adjust the fan speed (see Par. 2.9.8) and
adjust the gas/air ratio (see Par. 2.9.3).
2.4.3 Connecting the gas supply
LT.AL.W7H.000.019
• Before starting any work on the gas supply, turn off the
main isolation valve.
• Connect the gas supply to the 22 mm Ø boiler con-
nection.
m
• Make sure there is no dirt in the gas pipe. Blow through the
pipe before installation or tap well to purge.
• Make sure that the minimum gas service pressure is high
enough (in full load > 17 mbar).
• Preferably install a gas filter in the gas pipe to prevent the
gas block from getting dirty.
• The gas supply must be connected, tested for soundness
and purged by a qualified Engineer and in accordance with
BS6891.
2.5 Flue terminal and air supply connections
The Remeha Avanta Plus is only suitable for room sealed
operation with a standard concentric connection 60/100 mm Ø
or the optional 80/125 mm Ø connection.
Detailed recommendations for air supply and flue terminals are
given in BS 5440.
2.5.1 Flue terminal positions
The flue terminal must be located with care to ensure that the
products of combustion are dispersed properly in all weather
conditions and cause minimum nuisance to the building user
or any adjacent buildings. If the terminal is positioned less
than 2 m above the ground, balcony, or flat roof where access
by persons is possible a suitable guard must be employed.
z
The boiler will produce a water vapour plume during normal
operation.
Positions for the Remeha Avanta Plus are shown in the figure

2.5.3 Connecting the flue terminal and air supply
LT.AL.W7H.000.021
• Check the depth of the wall and cut the terminal to suit
– taking note of the cutting instructions supplied with it
• Core drill a 125 mm Ø hole in the wall, fit the rubber closure
plate at the exit end and slide the terminal through the wall
until the closure plate is clear of the outer edge of the wall
– pull back the terminal till the closure plate is flush then fit
inner wall closure to secure.

• All connections must be airtight and waterproof.
• Horizontal extension sections should slope towards the
boiler (at least 3 cm per metre).

2.6 Electrical connection
• Connect the boiler to the fused (3 amp) switch spur unit
adjacent to boiler.
• The switch unit must always be accessible.

{
When the switch spur is on the following components of this
appliance can be live (230 V):
• electrical connection pump;
• electrical connection gas combination block;
• electrical connection three-way valve;
• most parts of the control unit;
• ignition transformer;
• X1, X2, X4, X5, X6 and X7 terminal strip;
• 230 V supply cable connection.
2.6.1 The control unit
The Remeha Avanta Plus has an electronic regulation and
control unit with an integrated ionisation flame detector. The
heart of the boiler control unit is a microprocessor, the ‘abc®’,
which controls and protects the boiler.
LT.AL.W7H.000.023
The boiler is not phase sensitive. The maximum rated input is
between 115 and 180 W (depending on boiler type).
The boiler is fully pre-wired internally, all external connections
can be made using the terminal strips X5 - X7 - X9 and 230
V input (X2 terminal). See the diagram for the position of the
connectors and fuse (F2) on the control unit.
The most important properties of the control unit are summa-
rized in table 04.

Any loads other than those specified above are only allowed if
an isolating transformer is used.
The output of the Remeha Avanta Plus can be controlled in
the following ways:
On/off control – volt free switching - The boilers internal
control will modulate the output to achieve the flow tempera-
ture set point of the boiler. This contact is on the X9 terminal
strip (low voltage only).
Modulated control – Open Therm - The external controls will
modulate the boiler’s output to achieve the flow temperature
determined by the modulating regulator. This contact is on the
X9 terminal strip (low voltage only).
On/off control – 230 V switching - The boilers internal con-
trol will modulate the output to achieve the flow temperature
set point of the boiler. This contact is on the X2 terminal strip
(230 VAC only).
Modulated control – Open Therm in combination with an
externally mounted simple 230 V switching time clock -
The boiler will provide room compensated heating and time
control over CH and DHW (System boiler).

2.7 Connecting external controls
• Release the two screws at the bottom of the front casing
and remove the front casing.
• Feed the cables through the grommet in the base of the
boiler.
• Connect the cables to the relevant connectors, as shown in
the diagrams.
