CSD-1 Field Testing of High Limit Switches for Vitodens boilers – where required by law.
VIESSMANN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT THE FOLLOWING TEST PROCEDURE MAY RESULT
IN BY OVERHEATING THE SYSTEM.
The Vitodens 100/200 series boilers (except for the B2TA) are equipped with flow switches that when activated
disable or enable the burner to operate.
The fixed high limit, when tripped, produces a fault that will require manual reset of the boiler control.
Fixed High Limit fault simulation #1:
- Close the boiler valve and jumper across the flow switch.
- Run the boiler at high fire and it will shut down by the coding card (in B2TA models, set coding address 06 to
maximum) but should continue to stack the boiler temp until the fixed high limit is tripped.
- Once the fixed high limit is tripped, slowly open the boiler valve to safely cool the boiler down.
Fixed High Limit fault simulation #2:
- Throttle the boiler valve to a point where the burner will run with as little flow as possible.
- Run the boiler to high fire via relays test.
- When the burner shuts down on the electronic limit, close the ball valve to stop the flow.
- The boiler temp should continue a steady increase to trip the fixed high limit.
- Once the fixed high limit is tripped, slowly open the boiler valve to safely cool the boiler down.
Fixed High Limit fault simulation #3:
- Remove one of the wires connected to limit switch, this will produce a fault in the boilers control that requires
manual reset.

Vitodens 222-F B2TA 19 and 35 Service General Information
Mechanical Room
During the early stages of designing a new home, we recommend that proper consideration be given to constructing a
separate mechanical room dedicated to the gas- or oil-fired heating equipment and domestic hot water storage tank(s).
The boiler must be located in a heated indoor area, near a floor drain, and as close as possible to a wall. Whenever
possible, install the boiler near an outside wall so that it is easy to duct the venting system to the boiler.
Locate the boiler on a wall capable of supporting the weight of the boiler filled with water (see section entitled
“Technical Data” on page 101 for information required for total boiler weight calculation). Ensure that the boiler
location does not interfere with the proper circulation of combustion and ventilation air of other fuel burning equipment
within the mechanical room (if applicable).
The maximum room temperature of the mechanical room where the boiler is located must not exceed 104º F (40º C).
HEnsure ambient temperatures are higher than 32° F
(0° C) and lower than 104° F (40° C).
HPrevent the air from becoming contaminated by
halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. as contained in paint
solvents or cleaning fluids) and excessive dust (e.g.
through grinding or polishing work). Combustion air
for the heating process, and ventilation of the boiler
room must be free of corrosive contaminants. To that
end, any boiler must be installed in an area that has no
chemical exposure. The list to the right indicates the
main, currently known sources.
HAvoid continuously high levels of humidity (e.g. through
frequent drying of laundry).
HNever close existing ventilation openings.
WARNING
If you notice fire coming from the appliance, call the fire
department immediately! Do not attempt to extinguish
the fire unless qualified to do so.
WARNING
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to
the heating system and put safe operation at risk.
WARNING
Fire causes a risk of burns and explosion!
HShut down the boiler
HClose fuel shut-off valves
HUse a tested fire extinguisher, class ABC.
IMPORTANT
The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces,
such as the casing and fan housing, is directly influenced
by proximity to damp and salty marine environments. In
such areas, higher concentration levels of chlorides from
sea spray, coupled with relative humidity, can lead to
degradation of the exposed metallic surfaces mentioned
above. Therefore, it is imperative that boilers installed
in such environments not be installed using direct vent
systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such
boilers must be installed using room air dependent vent
systems; i.e. using room air for combustion. The indoor
air will have a much lower relative humidity and, hence,
potential corrosion will be minimized.
Installation area conditions Sources of combustion and ventilation air contaminants
Areas likely to contain contaminants:
HNew building construction
HSwimming pools
HRemodelling areas, hobby rooms
HGarages with workshops
