INSTALLATION

42 GENERAL CHECKS

INSTALLATION

Make the following checks for correct operation:

1.Central Heating

The correct operation of ANY programmer and all other system controls should be proved. Operate each control separately and check that the main burner or circulating pump, as the case may be, responds.

Ensure the external controls are calling for heat. After ignition the display should read:

2.Gas Rate

Operate the boiler for 10 minutes. Check the boiler gas rate (see Table 2), ensuring the boiler is at full output whilst measurements are recorded.

3.Water Circulation System

Knob Setting	Flow Temperature
	oC	oF
Min	30	86
Max	82	180

Note.Fernox Superfloc, Sentinel X300 (new systems) or X400 (existing systems) flushing solutions should be used during the flushing procedure. Refer to Frame 9.

a.With the system HOT examine all water connections for soundness.

b.With the system still HOT, turn off the gas, water and electricity supplies to the boiler and drain down to complete the flushing process.

c.Refill and vent the system, add inhibitor (see Frame 9), clear all air locks and again check for water soundness. Adhere the water treatment warning label, supplied in the hardware pack, in a prominent position on the system, to prevent the use of incorrect water treatment additives.

d.Balance the system. Refer to Frame 4.

4.Check the condensate drain for leaks and check that it is discharging correctly

5.Finally set the controls to the user’s requirements.

•The temperatures quoted alongside are approximate, and vary between installations.

43 HANDING OVER

After completing the installation and commissioning of the system the installer should hand over to the householder by the following actions:

1.Hand the User's Instructions to the householder and explain his or her responsibilities under current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations or rules in force.

2.Explain and demonstrate the lighting and shutting down procedures.

3.The operation of the boiler and the use and adjustment of ALL system controls should be fully explained to the householder to ensure the greatest possible fuel economy consistent with household requirements of both heating and hot water consumption.

Advise the User of the precautions necessary to prevent damage to the system and to the building in the event of the system remaining inoperative during frosty conditions.

4.Explain the function and the use of the boiler heating controls.

5. Explain the function of the boiler fault mode.

Emphasise that if a fault is indicated the boiler should be turned off and a CORGI registered installer consulted. In IE contact a competent person.

6. Explain and demonstrate the function of time and

temperature controls, radiator valves, etc., for the economic use of the system.

7.If any programmer is fitted then draw attention to the Programmer User's Instructions and hand them to the householder.

8.After installation and commissioning please complete

the Commissioning Checklist before

handover to the customer.

For IE, its is necessary to complete a “Declaration of Conformity” to indicate compliance to I.S. 813:2002.

9.IMPORTANT

Stress the importance of regular servicing by a CORGI registered installer and that a comprehensive service should be carried out AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. In IE servicing work must be carried out by a competent person.

10.As the installer you may wish to undertake the service contract yourself or alternatively offer to the customer the benefits of the Ideal Care Scheme, details of which are outlined in the household pack supplied with this boiler.
