15.1Changing Components & Preparation

WARNING: The PCB Control and Fan Assembly are 325 Vdc. Isolate system controls before access.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that both the gas and electrical supplies, including Switched and Permanent Live to the boiler are isolated before any work is started.

The four facia LEDs will be all OFF.

It is important to isolate the electrical supply at the system isolation switch as it is not possible to do this on the boiler itself.

Hazardous materials are not used in the construction of this product, however reasonable care is recommended - see Section 1.2.

When replacing the combustion box door it is essential that the retaining screws are tightened fully.

Remove the facia and front door panel.

For the replacement of some components it will be necessary to drain the boiler. Proceed as follows:-

1.Isolate the water circuit and drain the system as necessary. A drain point is located on the heat exchanger manifold at the right hand side of the boiler (Fig. 45) to enable the heat exchanger to be drained.

2.Place a tube on the drain point to drain water away from the electrics. Turn anticlockwise to open (Fig. 45).

3.After changing a component recommission the boiler where appropriate and check the inhibitor concentration (see Section 6.2 and 10.1).

The thermistor, safety thermostat, interface PCB and the flow switch can be accessed after removal of the pipe access panel (Fig. 46).

15.2Flow Temperature Thermistor and Safety Thermostat (Fig. 46)

1.The procedure is the same for both the thermistor and the safety thermostat.

2.Remove the pipe access panel and disconnect the electrical connections from the sensor.

3.Remove the sensor from the pipe.

4.Fit the new thermistor or safety thermostat and reassemble in reverse order.
