7 DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
7.1 Characteristics
Brava Slim 30 BFR are last generation low temperature wall
mounted boilers which
Sime has produced for heating ONLY.
The model
30 BFRi is designed for installation in rooms, while
model
30 BFRe is designed specifically for outdoor installation,
protected against atmospheric agents. The main elements
choices made by
Sime for the Brava Slim 30 BFR boilers are:
– the atmospheric burner combined with a copper heat ex-
changer for heating
– the sealed combustion chamber, with respect to the room
where the boiler is installed
– the command and control microprocessor electronic board
provides efficient management of both heating and hot wa-
ter production. It can also be connected to a remote control
with an Open Therm protocol or to room thermostat and/or
external sensor. If connected to an external sensor, the boiler
temperature varies on the basis of the external temperature
according to a selected optimal climatic curve providing sig-
nificant energy and economic savings.
Other special features of the
Brava Slim 30 BFR boilers are:
– the anti-freeze function which activates automatically if the
temperature of the water inside the boiler falls below the
threshold of the value set at parameter "PAR 10" and , if there
is an external sensor, if the external temperature falls below
the threshold of the value set at parameter "PAR 11"
– the anti-blocking function of the pump and diverter valve, this
activates automatically every 24 hours if no request for heat
has been made
– the chimney sweep function lasts 15 minutes and makes the
job of the qualified technician easier when measuring the pa-
rameters and combustion efficiency
– screen display of the operating and self-diagnostic parame-
ters with error code display when the fault occurs. This makes
repair interventions easier and allows appliance operation to
be restored correctly.
7.2 Check and safety devices
The Brava Slim 30 BFR boilers are equipped with the following
check and safety devices:
– thermal safety thermostat 100°C
– 3 bar (300 kPa) relief valve
– heating water pressure transducer
– delivery sensor.
NOTE: the proper fan operation of this boiler is checked elec-
tronically from the control panel. Then the use of an air pressure
switch is not required.
d
IT IS FORBIDDEN
To commission the appliance with safety devices
which do not work or which have been tampered with.
a
WARNING
Safety device may only be replaced by professional
qualified personnel using
Sime original spare parts.
7.3 Identification
The Brava Slim 30 BFR boilers can be identified by means of:
1 Packaging label: this is located on the outside of the packag-
ing and provides a code, the serial number of the boiler and
the bar code
2 Technical Data Plate: this is located inside the front panel of
the boiler and provides the technical specification, appliance
performance and any other information required by law.

CAUTION
–For systems with water content exceeding the max-
imum system content (as indicated in the table) an
additional expansion vessel must be prearranged.
–The difference in height between the relief valve
and the highest point of the system cannot exceed
6 metres. If the difference is greater than 6 metres,
increase the prefilling pressure of the expansion
vessel and the system when cold by 0.1 bar (10 kPa)
for each meter increase.

1 FUNCTIONAL BUTTONS
yIf pressed once or more than once for at least 1 second
during normal operation, this button allows the user to
change the boiler operating mode in a cyclical sequence
(Stand-by – Summer – Winter). If the boiler is experienc-
ing a fault which can be reset, it allows boiler operation
to be unblocked. (Note: the "SUMMER" mode is not ap-
plicable to this boiler).
(In "parameter setting", the user can scroll through the
parameter index (decreasing) by pressing this button.
tDuring normal operation, pressing this button displays
the flow temperature set point which can be between 20
and 80°C. In "parameter setting", the user can scroll
through the parameter index (increasing) by pressing
this button.
<During normal operation, pressing this button allows the
user to reduce the flow temperature set point. In "pa-
rameter setting/display", the user can modify the pa-
rameter setting or value (decreasing) by pressing this
button.
>During normal operation, pressing this button allows
the user to increase the flow temperature set point. In
"parameter setting/display", the user can modify the
parameter setting or value (increasing) by pressing this
button.
cProgramming connector cover plug.
NOTE: pressing any one of these buttons for more than 30 sec-
onds generates a fault on the display without preventing boiler
operation. The warning disappears when normal conditions are
restored.
