Requirements”.
Advice to owner
Once the installation work is complete, the heating
contractor must familiarize the system operator/
ultimate owner with all equipment, as well as safety
precautions/requirements, shutdown procedure, and
the need for professional service annually before the
heating season begins.
WARNING
This boiler requires fresh air for safe operation and must
be installed with provisions for adequate combustion
and ventilation air (in accordance with local codes and
regulations of authorities having jurisdiction).
Do not operate this boiler in areas with contaminated
combustion air. High levels of contaminants such as
dust, lint or chemicals can be found at construction
sites, home renovations, in garages, workshops, in dry
cleaning/laundry facilities, near swimming pools and in
manufacturing facilities.
Contaminated combustion air will damage the boiler
and may lead to substantial property damage, severe
personal injury and/or loss of life. Ensure boiler/burner is
inspected and serviced by a qualified heating contractor
at least once a year in accordance with the Service
Instructions of the boiler.
Carbon monoxide
Improper installation, adjustment, service and/or
maintenance can cause flue products to flow into
living space. Flue products contain poisonous carbon
monoxide gas.
For information pertaining to the
proper installation, adjustment, service
and maintenance of this equipment to
avoid formation of carbon monoxide,
please see subsection entitled
“Mechanical room” and “Venting requirements” in
the “Installation Instructions”.

Removing and Reinstalling Front Enclosure Panel and Cover Panel
Some of the following start-up/service steps require the
removal of the front enclosure panel and the cover panel.
To avoid personal injury and/or product damage of any
kind please follow the instructions below carefully when
removing or reinstalling the front enclosure panel and
cover panel.
To remove front enclosure panel and cover panel proceed
as follows:
1. Close main gas supply valve.
2. Open flip-down cover of front enclosure panel (by
exerting slight pressure with fingertip) and switch
off system on/off switch.
3. Turn off power supply to boiler and ensure that
power supply cannot be activated during the duration
of the start-up/service work.
4. Unlock enclosure panel by giving cover lock
a quarter turn.
5. Remove burner cover panel by unlocking the two
pull-down latches located on the bottom of the panel,
and slide out panel.
6. Attach front enclosure panel.

Fill Heating System with Water
Start-up and Service
1. Open system isolation valves (if installed).
Note: Before filling the heating system with water,
check that all necessary flow check valves are
installed.
2. Check inlet pressure of the diaphragm expansion
tank. If the nitrogen pressure of the precharged
expansion tank is less than the static pressure of
the system, inflate membrane pressure to slightly
exceed pressure of system.
The static pressure required at the tank is based
upon the static height of the system. The system
fill pressure value must be equal to the expansion
tank pressure value at approx. 60ºF/15.6ºC.
3. To remove debris and/or sludge ensure that the
system piping is flushed out. Failure to do so could
cause settlement in the boiler causing overheating
and damage not covered by warranty.
System fill pressure must be approximately 3 psig
higher than the static head when the system is cold.
4. Optional:
Fill the heating system with water at the boiler filling
and drain tap Aand drain air completely from the
system at manual air bleed valve B (use supplied key)
as per the Vitodens 200 Installation Instructions.
Max. boiler operating pressure ......45 psig
Min. boiler operating pressure .......12 psig
Pressure relief valve ....................30 psig
Water treatment should be considered in areas where it
is known that boiler feed water contains a high mineral
content and hardness. In areas where freezing might
occur, an antifreeze may be added to the system water
to protect the system.
Please adhere to the specifications given by the antifreeze
manufacturer. Do not use automotive silicate-based
antifreeze. Please observe that an antifreeze/water mixture
may require a backflow preventer within the automatic
water feed and influence components such as diaphragm
expansion tanks, radiation, etc. A 40% antifreeze content
will provide freeze-up protection to -10°F/-23°C.
Do not use antifreeze other than specifically made for
hot water heating systems. System also may contain
components which might be negatively affected by
antifreeze.
Check total system frequently when filled with antifreeze.

Note: The outer conductor “L “ and the neutral conductor
“N” must not be interchanged.
See wiring diagram in section entitled “Additional
Information” in this manual.
In Canada all electrical wiring is to be done in accordance
with the latest edition of CSA C22.1 Part 1 and/or local
codes. In the U.S. use the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70. The heating contractor must also comply with
both the Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for
Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI, ASME CSD-1.
5. Check system pressure and open ball valve E.
6. Shut off the boiler from the heating system on
heating water side (close shutoff valve C).
7. Connect drain hose to drain valve Bor D.
8. Open drain valve Bor Dand vent the boiler with
system pressure until noise due to the presence
of air is eliminated.
9. Close drain valve Bor Dand open ball valve C.
10. Check system pressure.
11. Ensure proper/adequate fuel supply exists.
Open gas shutoff valve.
Check Power Supply Connection
IMPORTANT A power module is supplied with the Vitodens 200 boiler,
which requires a 120VAC power supply from a wall
receptacle.
The module contains a 120/230 VAC step-up transformer
to power the Vitodens 200 with 230 VAC. Refer to the
Installation Instructions shipped with the module for
wiring details and/or Installation Instructions of the boiler.
Voltage range
The voltage at connector fÖ must be 230V (see wiring
diagram).
Neutral conductor
The electrical power supply must have a neutral conductor.

Select Appropriate Gas Type
1. Ensure that the fuel type listed on the boiler rating
plate is the correct type for the installation being
attempted.
2. Record fuel type in Maintenance Record on page 73.
The Vitodens 200 boiler is for use with gases whose
characteristics fall within the following ranges.
Do not use any other types of gas.

Measure Static Pressure and Running Pressure
IMPORTANT
A CO measurement (see page 13) must be taken before
and after working on gas appliances to eliminate risks to
health and to guarantee the satisfactory condition of the
system.
IMPORTANT
The burner is automatically ignited and starts operation
after a safety time has elapsed.
During initial start-up, the unit may indicate a fault
because of air in the gas supply pipe (especially for
propane gas).
After approx. 5 seconds, press the ”EU” button to reset
the burner. The ignition procedure is repeated. This boiler
employs a direct spark ignition system.
Static pressure
1. To measure static and/or running pressure remove
burner cover panel as per the removal and
reinstallation instructions on page 6 in these
instructions.
2. Close gas shutoff valve (field supplied).
3. Loosen screw in test nipple ”PE” Aon the gas
combination valve, do not remove completely.
Connect manometer.
4. Open the gas shutoff valve.
5. Measure static pressure. Values must be:
14 “w.c. max. for NG
14 “w.c. max. for LP
6. Enter measured value into Maintenance Record on
page 73 in this manual.
7. Start up boiler, using the on/off switch on the boiler
control.
