NOTE
You should ensure that one or two hot water
outletsarefullyopenduringtheaboveprocedure.
This will ensure that the output of the appliance
(burner pressure) is not compromised due to a
high outlet temperature.
7.3.2 SETTINGTHEMINIMUMBURNERPRESSURE
Once the maximum burner pressure has been
checkedand/oradjusted,removeoneofthegrey
wires from the modulating coil. Compare the
reading on the manometer with the value
described in 2.2. If adjustement is required, turn
the inner (red) cross-head screw clockwise to
increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease the
burner pressure, whilst ensuring that the outer
(10mm)nut doesnotmove. Whencheckingand/
or adjustement has been completed, isolate the
appliance from the electrical supply, replace the
protective cap, refit the compensator tube, refit
the grey wire to the modulating coil, remove the
manometer, and tighten the outlet test nipple.
IMPORTANT: A GAS SOUNDNESS CHECK
MUST BE CARRIED OUT.

any aspect of the installation.
7.4.1 INSTALLATION FAULTS
7.5 ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Any electrical checks must be carried out by a
suitably qualified person.
7.5.1 EARTH CONTINUITY TEST
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply,
and using a suitable multi-meter carry out a
resistance test. Connect test leads between an
appliance earth point and the earth wire of the
appliance supply cable. The resistance should
be less than 1 ohm. If the resistance is greater
than 1 ohm check all earth wires and connectors
for continuity and integrity.
7.5.2 SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply,
andusingasuitablemulti-meter,carryoutashort
circuittestbetweentheLive&Neutralconnections
at the appliance.
RepeatabovetestontheLive&Earthconnections
at the appliance term.
NOTE
Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no
fault is indicated, a detailed continuity.
Check will be required to trace the fault. A visual
inspection of components may also assist in
locating the fault.
7.5.3 POLARITY CHECK
With the appliance connected to the electrical
supplyandusingasuitablemulti-meter,carryout
the following voltage tests:
●connect test leads between the Live & Neutral
connectionsattheappliance.Themetershould
read approximately 230V ac. If so proceed to
next stage. If not, see 7.5.4.
●connect test leads between the Live & Earth
connectionsattheappliance.Themetershould
read approximately 230V ac. If so proceed to
next stage. If not, see 7.5.4.
●ConnecttestleadsbetweentheNeutral&Earth
connectionsattheappliance.Themetershould
read approximately 0 – 15Vac. If so polarity is
correct. If not, see 7.5.4.
7.5.4 REVERSED POLARITY OR SUPPLY FAULT
Repeat the above tests at the appliance isolator,
iftesting reveals correct polarity and/orsupply at
the isolator, re-check wiring and connections
between the isolator and the appliance.
Iftestsontheisolatoralsorevealreversedpolarity
or a supply fault, consult the local electricity
supplier for advice.
7.5.5 RESISTANCE TO EARTH CHECK
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply,
and using a suitable multi-meter carry out a
resistance test. Connect test leads between the
Live & Earth connections at the appliance. If the
meterreads otherthaninfinity thereisafault that
must be isolated, carry out a detailed continuity
check to identify the location of the fault.
IMPORTANT
These series of checks must be carried out
before attempting any fault-finding procedures
ontheappliance. On completion of any taskthat
required the disconnection and re-connection of
anyelectricalwiringorcomponent,these checks
must be repeated.
7.6 FAULT FINDING
Beforeattemptingany fault-finding, the electrical
checks as detailed in 7.5 must be carried out.
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply
and remove the casing and PCB cover.
Restore the electrical supply to the appliance,
turn the selector switch to the “on” position, and
open a hot water outlet. The appliance should
now function as described in section 7.2. Should
the appliance fail to respond, the internal fuse
and connectors should be checked to ensure
