Setting the minimum and the maximum power of the boiler

1.Check that the supply pressure to the gas valve is a minimum of 20 mbar for natural gas.

2.To do this, remove the screw “A”.

Fit the pipe of the pressure gauge to the pressure connection of the gas valve “B”.

When you have completed this operation, replace the screw “A” securely into its housing to seal off the gas.

3.To check the pressure supplied by the gas valve to the burner, remove the screw “C”. Fit the pipe of the pressure gauge to the pressure outlet of the gas valve “D”.

Disconnect the compensation pipe either from the gas valve or from the sealed chamber.

4.Set the On/Off button to position < I > and the “summer/winter” switch to the winter position.

To set the maximum power, turn on the hot water tap and allow the hot water tap to run at a rate of about 8 litres/minute so that the main burner lights.

Adjust nut “E” on the modureg to set the gas pressure (displayed on the pressure gauge) corresponding to the maximum power (see TABLE “A” page 9).

5.To set the minimum power, disconnect a supply terminal from the modureg and adjust screw “F”.

Turn the screw clockwise to increase the pressure and coun- ter-clockwise to decrease the pressure (displayed on the

pressure gauge) corresponding to the minimum power (see TABLE “A” page 9).

6. When you

have completed the above operations,

turn

off

the

hot water

tap, re-connect the supply terminal to

the

modureg

on the gas valve and replace the cap on the screw of

the

modureg.

 

 

 

 

Setting the maximum heating circuit power

7. To set the maximum heating circuit power, place the On/Off button to position < I > and the “summer/winter” switch to winter position.

Turn the knob of the heating thermostat clockwise to maximum.

8.Remove the inspection panel of the P.C.B. and fit a small cross-head screwdriver in to the right hand potentiometer. Turn clockwise to increase the pressure or counter-clockwise to reduce the pressure. Adjust the setting to the required heating pressure value (displayed on the pressure gauge), as indicated in the diagrams shown in page 10.

9.Turn off the boiler by placing the main switch to the "Off" position.

Setting pressure for soft ignition.

Disconnect the detection electrode connection from the P.C.B..

Start the boiler and during the ignition sequence adjust the left hand potentiometer until the gas pressure reads the required gas pressure as per the table below.

Once the gas pressure is set turn off the boiler and re-connect the connection to the P.C.B.

NB.: It may be necessary to reset the flame failure reset a number of times during this operation.
