Workingonthesystem
&When using gas as fuel, also close
the main gas shut-off valve and
safeguard against unauthorised
reopening.
&Isolate the system from the power
supply and check that it is no longer
'live', e.g. by removing a separate
fuse or by means of a main isolator.
&Safeguard the system against
unauthorised reconnection.
!Please note
Electronic modules can be
damaged by electro-static dis-
charges.
Touch earthed objects, such as
heating or water pipes, to dis-
charge static loads.
Repair work
!Please note
Repairing components which
fulfil a safety function can com-
promise the safe operation of
your heating system.
Replace faulty components
only with original Viessmann
spare parts.
Ancillary components, spare and
wearing parts
!Please note
Spare and wearing parts which
have not been tested together
with the heating system can
compromise its function. Instal-
ling non-authorised compo-
nents and non-approved
modifications/conversion can
compromise safety and may
invalidate our warranty.
For replacements, use only ori-
ginal spare parts from
Viessmann or those which are
approved by Viessmann.

Filling the heating system
!Please note
Unsuitable fill water increases the level of deposits and corrosion and
may lead to boiler damage.
&Thoroughly flush the entire heating system prior to filling it with water.
&Only use fill water of potable quality.
&Soften fill water with hardness exceeding 3.0 mmol/l, e.g. use a small
softening system for heating water (see Vitoset price list).
&An antifreeze additive suitable for heating systems can be mixed with
the fill water.
1. Check the pre-charge pressure of
the diaphragm expansion vessel.
2. Close the gas shut-off valve.

3. Fill the heating system via the boil-
er fill & drain valve Ain the heat-
ing return (at the connection set or
on site). (minimum system pres-
sure > 1.0 bar).
Note
If the control unit has not been
switched ON prior to filling the sys-
tem, then the servomotor of the
diverter valve will still be in its cen-
tral position, and the system will be
completely filled.
4. If the control unit had already been
switched ON before filling began:
Switch ON the control unit and acti-
vate the fill program via coding
address "2F:2".
Note
To call up coding level 1 and for
setting the coding address, see
page 46.
For function and details of the fill
program, see page 109.
Whilst the fill program is running,
the display shows "bF",
Vitotronic 100, or "Befüllung"
(filling), Vitotronic 200.
5. Close boiler fill & drain valveA.
6. Set code "2F:0".

Checking the gas type
The boiler is equipped with an electronic combustion control unit that adjusts
the burner for optimum combustion in accordance with the prevailing gas qual-
ity.
&Consequently, for natural gas there is no adjustment required across the
entire Wobbe range.
The boiler can be operated in the Wobbe index range 10.0 to 16.1 kWh/m

).
&Convert the burner for operation with LPG (see "Gas type conversion" on
page 15).
1. Determine the gas type and Wobbe
index by asking your local gas sup-
ply utility or LPG supplier.
2. Convert the burner for operation
with LPG (see page 15).
3. Record the gas type in the service
report on page 129.

Checking the static and supply pressure
Danger
CO build-up as a result of an incorrect burner setup can have serious
health implications.
Carry out a CO test prior to and after work on gas equipment.
Operation with LPG
Flush the LPG tank twice during commissioning/replacement. Thoroughly vent
the tank and gas supply lines after flushing.
1. Close the gas shut-off valve.
2. Release screw Ainside test con-
nector "PE" on the gas train, but do
not remove it; then connect the
pressure gauge.
3. Open the gas shut-off valve.
4. Measure the static pressure and
record it in the service report on
page 129.
Set value: max. 57.5 mbar
5. Start the boiler.
Note
During commissioning, the boiler
can enter a fault state because of
airlocks in the gas pipe. After
approx. 5 s press "ERESET" to
reset the burner.
6. Check the supply (flow) pressure.
Set value:
&Natural gas: 20 mbar
&LPG: 50 mbar
Note
Use suitable test equipment with a
resolution of at least 0.1 mbar to
measure the supply pressure.

8. Shut down the boiler, close the gas
shut-off valve, remove the pressure
gauge and close test nipple A
with the screw.
9. Open the gas shut-off valve and
start up the boiler.

Commissioning, inspection, maintenance
5692 682 GB

For balanced flue systems tested
together with the wall mounted gas
fired boiler, the requirement for a
tightness test during commissioning
by the flue gas inspector is not applic-
able.
We recommend that your heating
engineer carries out a simple leak/
tightness test during the commission-
ing of your system. For this, it would
be sufficient to check the CO2or O2
concentration in the combustion air at
the annular gap of the balanced flue
pipe.
Thefluepipeisdeemedtobegas-
tightiftheCO
2concentration in the
combustion air is no higher than 0.2 %
or the O2concentration is at least
20.6 %.
If actual CO2values are higher or O2
values are lower, then pressure test
