Initial Start-Up - Ferroli F 30 B Instructions For Use, Installation And Maintenance

FERROLI Limited accepts no liability for damage to property or personal injury resulting from tampering
with the boiler by unauthorised persons.
To convert the boiler from Nat Gas to LPG and vice versa, the main burner injectors must be replaced.
There's also an electronic setting: Jumper JP02 has to be set from NAT to LPG position.
Then, Minimum and maximum pressures must then be adjusted on the gas valve (table 10).
Note: After converting the boiler from natural gas to liquid gas, fit the orange plate in the conversion
kit near the data plate.
Note: Injector diameters and pressures at the main burner are given in Technical Data.

3.2 Initial start-up

Commissioning must be performed by Qualified Personnel.
Checks to be made at initial start up, and after all maintenance operations that involved discon-
necting from the system or an intervention of a safety device.
Checks to be carried out before starting up for the first time
When starting the boiler up for the first time check:
• that the isolation valves between the boiler and central heating systems are open;
• that the central heating system is filled and vented;
• that there are no gas or water leaks from the central heating system or boiler;
• that the electric connections are correct and the earth wire of the boiler is connected to an efficient
earthing installation and a 3amp. fuse is fitted to the isolator;
• that there are no flammable liquids or materials near the boiler.
Starting up the boiler
• Open the gas cock upstream of the boiler.
• Vent air present in the pipe upstream of the gas valve.
• Turn on electrical supply to the boiler.
• Rotate the ON-OFF RESET switch A (fig. 1) into the ON position.
• Check inlet working gas pressure, burner pressures and gas rate.
At this point, choose whether the boiler is to be used for central heating and domestic hot water production
or for domestic hot water production only. If the former is chosen (central heating and domestic hot water
production), turn the knob B (fig. 1) to the "Winter" position. Set the knob above 50°C and set the room ther-
mostat (if fitted) to maximum. The burner ignites and the boiler starts to function automatically, controlled by
its control and safety devices.
If the latter is chosen (domestic hot water production only), position the knob B (fig. 1) on the "Summer"
position. In this mode the boiler is ready to operate automatically whenever domestic hot water is drawn
off.
Note - If after completing the start-up procedure correctly, the burners fail to ignite and the boiler shut
down warning lights up, wait about 15 seconds then rotate the knob A (fig. 1) against spring pressure
to the RESET position and release it. The reset electronic control unit will repeat the start-up cycle.
Note - In central heating mode after resetting the boiler will go into it 2 minute delay before starting up again. If after
a second attempt the burners still fail to ignite, consult the paragraph "Troubleshooting".
Note - If there is a power failure while the boiler is in operation, the burners automatically go out and re-ignite when
the power returns if there is still a demand.
