PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
a Do not allow children or
infirm persons to operate
the boiler unsupervised.
a Do not operate any electri-
cal 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 the rTechnical
Assistance Service or a professionally qualified
heating engineer.
a Never clean the boiler without first disconnecting it
from the mains electricity supply by turning the main
power switch OFF.
a Never pull, disconnect, or twist the electrical cables
coming from the boiler even if it is disconnected

barefoot or wet.
a Do not switch the boiler off
if outside temperature drops
below ZERO (risk of freez-
ing).
b This instruction manual and that for the installer
and Technical Assistance Service are integral parts
of the boiler. They must be kept safe and must
ALWAYS accompany the boiler, even if it is sold
to another owner or user or transferred to anoth-
er installation. If you damage or lose this manual,
order a replacement immediately from your local
rTechnical Assistance Centre.
b The boiler must be installed
by a legally qualified heat-
ing engineer. On comple-
tion of the installation, the
heating engineer must
issue the owner with a
declaration of conform-
ity confirming that the
installation has been com-
pleted to the highest standards in
compliance with the instructions provided by r
in this instruction manual, and that it conforms to all
applicable laws and standards.
b If you notice any water leaking from the boiler, dis-
connect it immediately from the mains electricity
supply, shut off the water supply, and notify your
local rTechnical Assistance Centre or a quali-
fied heating engineer immediately.
b Periodically check that oper-
ating pressure in the water
circuit is over 1 bar. If water
pressure is consistently low,
contact r’s Technical
Assistance Service or a pro-
fessionally qualified heating
engineer.
b If the boiler is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, proceed as follows to prepare it for
shut-down.
- Turn the mains power switch OFF.
- Close the fuel cock and heating circuit water cock.
- Drain the central heating circuit if there is any risk
of freezing.
b The boiler must only be used for the purpose speci-
fied by rand for which it is designed. The man-
ufacturer declines all responsibility, contractual or
other, for damage to property or injury to persons
or animals caused by improper installation, adjust-
ment, maintenance or use.
The operation of any appliance that uses electrical power demands that a number of fundamental safety precautions
be respected.

- Frost protection: The pumps are switched on on the
basis of outside temperature irrespective of demand
for heat.
If outside temperature drops below -4°C the pumps
are switched on. If outside temperature is between -5°
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.
- Chimney sweep: The burner is ignited to obtain the
conditions necessary for combustion analysis. To
obtain continuous burner functioning, maximum oper-
ating temperature is set at the boiler’s maximum set-
point.
All loads are switched off to start with, in order to bring
the boiler to its 64°C setpoint as quickly as possible.
When the boiler reaches 64°C, the heating circuits are
opened one by one to dissipate the heat and allow the
burner to continue functioning.
- Limit thermostat (parameter 2310): This function shuts
the burner down if boiler temperature exceeds the
maximum permitted limit, which coincides with the boil-
er’s maximum setpoint (parameter 2212 = 80 °C).
- DHW charging priority: if an optional remote storage
cylinder is installed and domestic hot water is drawn
off while the central heating circuit is also in use, this
function directs boiler power mainly to the DHW circuit.
- Boiler switching differential: This establishes a mini-
mum run time for the burner, to stop it igniting and
shutting down repeatedly. The burner shuts down only
if boiler temperature exceeds a predetermined thresh-
old (parameter 2240).
- Solar collector protection:
- Collector frost protection (param. 3840)
- Collector overtemperature protection (param. 3850)
- Pump protection against vapour in heat transfer fluid
(param. 3860)

START-UP
Have r’s Technical Assistance Service start-up your boiler for the first time. Once this has been done, the boiler
can be left to function automatically. Under certain circumstances, such as after long periods of disuse, the user may
need to re-start it without involving the Technical Assistance Service. Before doing so, perform the following checks and
operations:
- Check that the fuel cock and heating system water
cock are shut.
- While the system is still cold, check that the pressure
in the heating circuit is over 1 bar but below the maxi-
mum limit specified for the boiler. If water pressure is
low, contact r’s Technical Assistance Service.
- Switch the electricity supply ON at the system’s main
switch and at the control panel.
Check that the display comes on.
- When the boiler is first powered on, it performs a num-
ber of self-tests. These may take a few minutes. When
the tests are completed, the display reads out boiler
temperature.
Perform the following operations on the boiler control
panel.
- Press the "OK" button.
Select "Operator unit" and press "OK".
