SYSTEM MANAGER Start up START UP RTQ 3S Have r’s Technical Assistance Service start up your boiler for the first time. Once this has been done, the boiler can be left to function automatically. Under certain circumstances, such as after long periods of disuse, the service engineer responsible for the boiler may need to re-start it without involving the Technical Assistance Service.
The burner should now ignite and remain in operation If a “LOCKOUT SHUTDOWN” occurs, wait about 30 until the set temperature is reached. seconds before resetting the burner. The burner will then switch off and on automatically to maintain the set temperature without further operator To reset the burner, press the red button light on the bur- action.
Preparing for extended periods of disuse PREPARING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF DISUSE If the boiler is not going to be used for an extended period of time, perform the following operations: - Turn the control panel power switch OFF and make sure that the green power indicator goes out - Turn the mains power switch OFF - Close the fuel cock and heating circuit water cock...
Maintenance MAINTENANCE Please remember that THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE r’s Technical Assistance Service is qualified to FOR SYSTEM MANAGEMENT MUST ENSURE THAT satisfy these legal requirements and can also provide PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED HEATING ENGINEERS useful information on MAINTENANCE PROGRAMMES UNDERTAKE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE designed to guarantee: COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY MEASUREMENTS.
TING ENGINEER Unpacking the product UNPACKING THE PRODUCT RTQ 3S r steel boilers come in 3 separate crates: BOILER BODY CRATE to which is attached the documentation envelope (A) containing: - Instruction manual - Data label (to be applied to the casing on comple- tion of the installation) - Water test certificate - Bar code labels...
When installing the boiler, allow sufficient space around it to access all safety and control devices and to permit easy maintenance. RTQ 91 3S MODELS ONLY r RTQ 3S boilers can be positioned: On the floor or pedestal The ideal solution for just heating installation.
The flue gas exhaust and its connection to the stack must be made in compliance with applicable laws and standards, using heat resistant, condensate resistant and stress resistant rigid pipe and sealed joints. RTQ 91 3S RTQ 115÷2400 3S Ø...

Checks during and after initial start-up CHECKS DURING AND AFTER INITIAL START-UP Once the boiler has started up, make sure that it shuts down and re-starts properly when the following actions are taken: - The boiler thermostat setting is changed - Power to the control panel is switched off and on again - The room thermostat or timer thermostat is adjusted.
Maintenance MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance is a legal requirement. It is also Have your boiler serviced either by r's Technical essential for the safety, efficiency and durability of the Assistance Service or by a qualified heating engineer. boiler. Proper maintenance keeps consumption and emissions down, and ensures that the boiler continues to Analyse the combustion fumes before commencing any operate reliably over time.
Cleaning the boiler CLEANING THE BOILER Clean the boiler and remove any carbon deposits from the surfaces of the heat exchanger at least once a year. This not only extends the boiler’s working life, but also keeps it efficient in terms of heat output and consumption. Proceed as follows to clean the boiler: the cover again.
