1.1 PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS
●A fully integrated electronic control board
featuring electronic temperature control, anti-
cycle control, pump over-run, self-diagnostic
fault indicator, full air/gas modulation.
●Low-water-content, copper heat exchanger.
●Electronic ignition with flame supervision
●Integral high-head pump
●Fan
●Expansion vessel
●Analogue pressure switch (PAD)
●Water pressure switch
●Two-stage gas valve
●Pressure gauge
●Safetyvalve
1.2 MODE OF OPERATION (at rest)
When the appliance is at rest and there are no
requests for heating or DHW, the following func-
tions are active:
●pre-heat function – the pre-heat function ena-
blestheappliancetoperiodicallylightandmain-
tain the temperature of the DHW heat ex-
changer. This “keep-hot” facility enables the
appliance to provide an instantaneous re-
sponse to DHW requests.
●2-stagefrost-protection system –the frost-pro-
tection system protects the appliance against
the risk of frost damage. The first stage ena-
blesactivationofthepumpshouldthetempera-
ture of the appliance fall to 7°C. The second
stage becomes active when the temperature
has dropped to 3°C. Should the second stage
become active, the appliance will function on
minimum power until it reaches 30°C.
●anti-blockfunction–theanti-blockfunctionena-
bles the pump and divertor valve actuator, to
be energised for short periods, when the ap-
pliance has been inactive for more than 19-
hours.
1.3 MODE OF OPERATION (Heating)
When there is a request for heat via the
programmer/time clock and/or any external
control, the pump and fan are started, the fan
speed will modulate until the correct signal
voltage is received at the control PCB. At this
point an ignition sequence is enabled.
Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry to
ensure flame stability at the burner. Once
successful ignition has been achieved, the
electroniccircuitry increases the gas rateto 75%
foraperiodof 15 minutes. Thereafter,theboiler’s
output will either be increase to maximum or
modulate to suit the set requirement. When the
appliance reaches the desired temperature the
burner will shut down and the boiler will perform
a three-minute anti-cycle (timer delay).
Whenthe request for heat hasbeen satisfied the
appliancepumpand fan maycontinueto operate
to dissipate any residual heat within the
appliance.
1.4 MODE OF OPERATION (DHW)
When there is a request for DHW via a hot water
outlet or tap, the pump and fan are started, the
fan speed will modulate until the correct signal
voltage is received at the control PCB. At this
point an ignition sequence is enabled.
During DHW request LED (31, fig. 1) is ON.
Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry to
ensure flame stability at the burner. Once
SECTION 1 DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE
successful ignition has been achieved, the
electronic circuitry increases the gas rate to
maximum or will modulate output to stabilise the
temperature. In the event of the appliance
exceedingthedesiredtemperaturetheburnerwill
shut down until the temperature drops.
When the request for DHW has been satisfied
the appliance pump and fan may continue to
operate to dissipate any residual heat within the
appliance.
1.5 SAFETY DEVICES
When the appliance is in use, safe operation is
ensured by:
●a water pressure switch that monitors system
water pressure and will de-activate the pump,
fan and burner should the system water
pressure drop below the rated tolerance.
●a high limit thermostat that over-rides the
temperature control circuit to prevent or
interrupt the operation of the burner.
●an analogue pressure switch (PAD) that
checkstheoperationofthefanandflue thereby
allowing safe operation of the burner.
●a sensor that interrupts the operation of the
appliance if the condense pipe becomes
blocked.
●asafetyvalvewhich releases excess pressure
from the primary circuit.
1.6 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

space containing a bath or shower, the appliance
or any control pertaining to it must not be within
reach of a person using the bath or shower.
The location chosen for the appliance must per-
mit the provision of a safe and satisfactory flue
and termination. The location must also permit
an adequate air supply for combustion purposes
and an adequate space for servicing and air cir-
culation around the appliance. Where the instal-
lation of the appliance will be in an unusual loca-
tion special procedures may be necessary, BS
6798 gives detailed guidance on this aspect. A
compartmentusedtoenclosetheappliance must
be designed and constructed specifically for this
purpose.Anexisting compartment/cupboard may
be utilised provided that it is modified to suit.
Detailsofessentialfeaturesofcompartment/cup-
board design including airing cupboard installa-
tions are given in BS 6798. This appliance is not
suitable for external installation.
3.3 GAS SUPPLY
The gas meter – as supplied by the gas supplier
–mustbecheckedtoensurethat it is of adequate
size to deal with the maximum rated input of all
the appliances that it serves. Installation pipes
must be fitted in accordance with BS 6891.
Pipe work from the meter to the appliance must
be of adequate size. Pipes of a smaller size than
the appliance gas inlet connection must not be
used. The installation must be tested for
soundness in accordance with BS6891.
Ifthegassupplyservesmorethanoneappliance,
it must be ensured that an adequate supply is
maintained to each appliance when they are in
use at the same time.
3.4 FLUE SYSTEM
The terminal should be located where the
dispersalof combustion products is notimpeded
and with due regard for the damage and
discolorationthat may occur to buildingproducts
locatednearby.Theterminal must notbe located
in a place where it is likely to cause a nuisance
(see fig. 4).
3.4 FLUE SYSTEM (Cont’d.)
In cold and/or humid weather, water vapour will
condense on leaving the terminal; the effect of
such pluming must be considered.
If installed less than 2m above a pavement or

3.6 WATER CIRCULATION
Detailedrecommendations are givenin BS 5449
Part 1 and BS 6798. The following notes are for
general guidance only.
3.6.1 PIPEWORK
Itisrecommended that coppertubingto BS 2871
Part 1 is used in conjunction with soldered
capillary joints.
Where possible pipes should have a gradient to
ensureairiscarried naturally to airreleasepoints
and that water flows naturally to drain cocks.
Exceptwhereprovidingusefulheat, pipes should
be insulated to avoid heat loss and in particular
to avoid the possibility of freezing. Particular
attentionshouldbepaid to pipes passing through
ventilatedareas such as under floors,loft space,
and void areas.
3.6.2 AUTOMATIC BY-PASS
The appliance has a built-in automatic by-pass,
consequently there is no requirement for an
external by-pass, however the design of the
system should be such that it prevents boiler
‘cycling’.
3.6.3 DRAIN COCKS
Thesemust be located in accessiblepositions to
facilitate draining of the appliance and all water
pipesconnected totheappliance.Thedraincocks
must be manufactured in accordance with BS
2879.
3.6.4 AIR RELEASE POINTS
These must be positioned at the highest points
in the system where air is likely to be trapped.
They should be used to expel trapped air and
allow complete filling of the system.
3.6.5 EXPANSION VESSEL
The appliance has an integral expansion vessel
to accommodate the increased volume of water
when the system is heated. It can accept up to 8
litres (25/29) or 10 litres (35) of expansion from
within the system, generally this is sufficient,
however if the system has an unusually high
water content, it may be necessary to provide
additional expansion capacity (see 6.19).
3.6.6 FILLING POINT
A method for initial filling of the system and
replacingwater lost duringservicingetc.hasbeen
provided.This methodof filling complies with the
currentWaterSupply(WaterFittings)Regulations
1999 and Water Bylaws 2000 (Scotland).
3.6.7 LOW PRESSURE SEALED SYSTEM
An alternative method of filling the system would
be from an independent make-up vessel or tank
mounted in a position at least 1 metre above the
highest point in the system and at least 5 metres
above the boiler (see fig. 5).
The cold feed from the make-up vessel or tank
must be fitted with an approved non-return valve
andstopcockforisolationpurposes.Thefeedpipe
should be connected to the return pipe as close
to the boiler as possible.
3.6.8 FREQUENT FILLING
Frequent filling or venting of the system may be
indicative of a leak. Care should be taken during
the installation of the appliance to ensure all
aspectsof the system are capable ofwithstanding
pressures up to at least 3 bar.
3.7 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
The appliance is supplied for operation on 230V
@ 50Hz electrical supply; it must be protected
with a 3-amp fuse. The method of connection to
the mains electricity supply must allow for

valve full bore to remove any installation debris
from the boiler prior to lighting. Refill the boiler
and heating system as described in 5.3.
5.5 FILLING THE HOT WATER SYSTEM
Close all hot water outlets, turn appliance
stopcockto the normal operating position (fig.18),
slowlyopen each outletuntilairhasbeenexpelled
and clear water is discharged. Check pipe-work
etc. for water soundness.
5.6 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Before attempting the initial lighting of the
appliance, the following checks must be
carried out:
●ensure all gas service valves from the meter
to the appliance are open and the supply pipe
has been properly purged
●ensurethe proper electrical checkshave been
carried out, (see 7.7) particularly continuity,
polarity, and resistance to earth
●ensure the 3 amp fuse – supplied with the
appliance – has been fitted.
●ensurethesystemhas been filled, vented,and
the pressure set to 1 bar.
●ensurethefluesystemhasbeen fitted properly
and in accordance with the instructions.
●ensure all appliance service valves are open.
5.7 INITIAL LIGHTING
Ensure the electrical supply to the appliance is
switched on. Move the selector switch to the
Heating & Hot Water position, ensure the time
clock is switched to an ‘ON’ position and ensure
any other external controls are also calling for
heat.
