The boiler must be installed in a fixed loca-

contained in this manual. Furthermore, the
installation must be in accordance with cur-
rent standards and regulations.
2.1 INSTALLATION
-
In the rooms where “type B” boilers are
i n s t a l l e d , t h e a i r r e q u i r e d f o r c o r r e c t
combustion of the gas consumed by the
appliance must be able to flow in. It is the-
refo re necessary to make openings that
c a n n o t b e b l o c k e d i n t h e o u t e r w a l l s ,
which must be at least 6 cm
2
for every
kW of thermal capacity installed and with,
in any case, a minimum of 100 cm
2
.
-“Type C” a p p l i a n c e s , w i t h c o m b u s t i o n
chamber and air supply sealed off from
the environment, can be installed in any
room in the house.
-“Type B and C” boilers are suitable for
functioning in a partially protected place,
as according to EN 297, with maximum
environmental temperature of 60°C and
minimum of -5°C. We recommend instal-
lation of these boilers under the protru-
ding slope of a roof, on a balcony, or in a
p r o t e c t e d n i c h e , a l w a y s p r o v i d i n g t h e y
a r e n o t d i r e c t l y e x p o s e d t o a d v e r s e
weather (rain, hail, snow). The boilers are
provided already equipped with anti-free-
ze functions.
2.1.1 Anti-freeze function
T h e b o i l e r s a r e e q u i p p e d w i t h a n t i - f r e e z e
function which activates the pumps and the
burner when the temperature of the water
c o n t a i n e d i n s i d e t h e a p p l i a n c e d r o p s t o
below 6°C. The anti-freeze function is ensu-
red, however, only if:
- the boiler is correctly connected to the
gas and electricity supply circuits;
- the boiler is constantly fed;
- the boiler ignition is not blocked;
- the essential components of the
boiler are all in working order
In these conditions the boiler is protected
a g a i n s t f r o s t d o w n t o a n e n v i r o n m e n t a l
temperature of -5°C.
ATTENTION: In the case of installation in a
place where the temperature drops below
0°C, the connection pipes must be pro-
tected.

2.3 CONNECTING UP SYSTEM
To protect the heat system from damaging
corrosion, incrustation or deposits, befo re
i n s t a l l a t i o n i t i s e x t r e m e l y i m p o r t a n t t o
clean the system using suitable products
s u c h a s , f o r e x a m p l e , S e n t i n e l X 3 0 0 o r
X400. Complete inst ructions are provided
with the products but, for further informa-
t i o n , y o u m a y d i r e c t l y c o n t a c t S E N T I N E L
PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS LTD.
For long-term protection agains corrosion
and deposits, the use of inhibitors such as
Sentinel X100 is recommended after clea-
ning the system. It is important to check
the concentration of the inhibitor after
each system modification and during main-
t e n a n c e f o l l o w i n g t h e m a n u f a c t u r e r ’ s
instructions (specific tests are available at
your dealer). The safety valve drain must be
connected to a collection funnel to collect
any discharge during interventions. If the
heating system is on a higher floor than the
boiler, install the on/off taps supplied in kit
optional on the heating system
delivery/return pipes.
WA R N I NG: F ai l ur e to c l ea n th e
heat system or add an adequate
inhibitor invalidates the device’s
warranty.
Gas connections must be made in accor-
dance with current standards and regula-
tions. When dimensioning gas pipes from
the meter to the module, both capacity
volume (consumption) in m3/h and gas
density must be taken into account.
The sections of the piping making up the
system must be such as to guarantee a
supply of gas sufficient to cover the maxi-
m u m d e m a n d , l i m i t i n g p r e s s u r e l o s s
between the gas meter and any apparatus
being used to not greater than:
– 1.0 mbar for family II gases (natural gas);
– 2.0 mbar for family III gases (butane or
propane).
An adhesive data plate is sticked inside the
front panel; it contains all the technical data
identifying the boiler and the type of gas for
which the boiler is arranged.
2.3.1 Filter on the gas pipe
The gas valve is supplied ex factory with an
inlet filter, which, however, is not adequate
to entrap all the impurities in the gas or in
gas main pipes.
To prevent malfunctioning of the valve, or in
certain cases even to cut out the safety
device with which the valve is equipped,
install an adequate filter on the gas pipe.
2.5 SYSTEM FILLING
Filling of the boiler and the system is done
by the charge cock (2 fig. 4). The charge
pressure, with the system cold, must be
between 1and 1.5 bar. During system fil-
ling you are recommended to keep the main
switch turned OFF. Filling must be done
slowly so as to allow any air bubbles to be
