The operation of any appliance that uses fuel, electrical power and water demands that a number of fundamental safety
precautions be respected:
a Do not allow children or infirm persons to operate the boi-
ler unsupervised
.
a Do not operate any electrical devices or equipment,
including switches or domestic appliances, etc., if you
can smell fuel or fumes. If you detect any suspicious
smells:
- Ventilate the room by opening all doors and win-
dows;
- Close the fuel shut-off cock;
- Report the fault immediately to your local r
Technical Assistance Service or a professionally
qualified heating engineer.
a Do not touch the boiler when barefoot or wet .
a Never clean or service the boiler without first disconnec-
ting it from the mains electricity supply by turning the main
power switch and the control panel switch OFF.
a Do not tamper with or adjust the safety or control devices
without prior authorisation and instructions from the boi-
ler’s manufacturer.
a Do not plug or block the condensate drain outlet .
a Never pull, disconnect, or twist the electrical cables
coming from the boiler even if it is disconnected from the
mains electricity supply.
a Do no obstruct or restrict the vents in the room where the
appliance is installed. Adequate ventilation is essential for
correct combustion.
a Do not expose the boiler to the elements. Do not install the
boiler outdoors. It is not designed to work outdoors and is
not fitted with the necessary automatic anti-frost systems
to do so.
a Do not store containers of flammable substances in the
room where the boiler is installed.
a Do not dispose of packaging material in the environment,
or leave it within the reach of children, since it can beco-
me a potential hazard. Dispose of packaging material in
compliance with applicable legislation.

ment immediately from your local rTechnical
Assistance Centre.

GENERAL
6
This TAU UNIT condensing boiler is designed to pro-
duce hot water for central heating systems. If used in
conjunction with a remote storage cylinder, it can also
produce domestic hot water. The innovative boiler body
uses the condensation of steam from the combustion
gases to recover extra energy, with obvious benefits in
terms of running costs. The boiler body is made from
highly corrosion resistant stainless steel to guarantee an
extended working life and excellent reliability. The boi-
ler body conforms to the strictest Italian and European
standards governing the migration of heavy metals to
condensate. A premixed micro-flame burner guarantees
extremely low emissions.

The control system applies compensated control logic
to maximise energy recovery in all seasons. The combu-
stion gases are cooled to a temperature near that of the
central heating return before they leave the boiler body.
This makes it possible to use plastic flue pipes instead of
metal ones, with significant savings in overall installation
costs.
Special accessories are available to increase the num-
ber of central heating circuits served, to cascade a
number of TAU UNIT boilers and to connect single or
double return lines to suit the needs of the installation,
improving heat stratification in the water inside the body
and optimising performance.

IDENTIFICATION
The boiler is identified by the following plates and labels:
- Data label
This lists the boiler's technical
specifications and performance.
-Serial number plate
This specifies the
serial number,
model, and furnace
power.
This TAU UNIT condensing boiler is equipped with the following safety devices:
An automatic safety thermostat that trips at 100° and
shuts down the burner.
An electronic safety system that monitors flow rate
through the central heating system using two sensors,
one on the flow pipe and the other on the return pipe.
This safety system forces the boiler to perform a safety
shutdown if flow rate is insufficient or not detected.
Flue gas safety thermostat.
A flue gas thermostat in the bottom of the heat exchanger
that triggers an error condition if flue gas temperature
exceeds 75°C. A flue gas temperature sensor in the
bottom of the heat exchanger that triggers a transient
(temporary) error if flue gas temperature exceeds 85°C
and a permanent error if it exceeds 90°C.
A fan safety system that uses a Hall effect speed sensor
to continuously monitor fan speed.
b The activation of a safety device indicates a
potentially dangerous malfunction in the modula-
tion system. Contact r's Technical Assistance
Service immediately.
You may attempt to restart the boiler after a short delay
(see “Preparing for initial start-up”).
aNever start the boiler up even for a short period if
the safety devices are not functioning correctly or
have been tampered with.
b Safety devices must only be replaced by r's
Technical Assistance Service using original spare
parts. Refer to the spare parts catalogue supplied
with the boiler.
Always check that the boiler is functioning correctly after
any repairs.

LEAVE THE SENSORS IN THEIR ORIGINAL POSITIONS EVEN IF THE BOILER IS CONFIGURED FOR USE IN A
CASCADED SYSTEM.
TAU 150 - 210 UNIT
This TAU UNIT boiler comes without a pump. A pump must therefore be provided as part of the installation.
In order to choose a pump of the right size, bear in mind the boiler’s water-side pressure drop, as shown in the figure below.

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE SENSORS
b On initial start-up and at least every year, check that
all the pumps in the system rotate freely. Sludge and
lime scale can build up and cause seizure, especially
after long periods of disuse.
b Protect all electrical devices under the pump before
you unscrew the inspection cap just in case water co-
mes out.
a Never run the pump dry .

- The DHW priority function. This ensures that the boiler
can still serve the central heating circuit even when
domestic hot water is drawn off.
- The frost protection function:
This stops water freezing inside the boiler. If boiler
temperature falls below 5°C, the burner ignites and
runs at full power until temperature reaches 10°C.
The frost protection function is only active if an outdoor
temperature sensor is connected. If outside tempe-
rature drops below -5°C the pumps are switched on.
If outside temperature is between -4° and 1.5°C, the
pumps are switched on for 10 minutes at intervals of
6 hours. If outside temperature is above 1.5°C the
pumps are switched off.
- Overtemperature dispersal function. If the temperature
threshold thermostat trips (86°C) the boiler shuts down
and accumulated heat is dispersed by switching on
the central heating pump. If boiler temperature rises to
89°C, the fan is switched on too.
- The cascade control function. The addition of a con-
troller (accessory) allows you to connect a number
of boilers in cascade, sharing heat output between a
number of burners and improving overall system effi-
ciency.
- Boiler switching differential. This establishes a mini-
mum off time for the burner, to stop it igniting and shut-
ting down repeatedly. The boiler will only start up again
if the difference between the setpoint and the actual
boiler temperature exceeds a predetermined value.
Notes on functioning
The control panel on the TAU UNIT boiler controls the following functions:
PROGRAMMING LEVELS
