IMPORTANT NOTES FOR BURNER INSTALLATION L < S Before fixing the burner to the boiler, make sure that: - The door opens the right way (see the relevant sections for details on how to reverse the door). - The length (L) of the burner fixing bolts is less than (S), i.e.
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION The boilers are identified by two plates: - Serial number plate This is located on the boiler body and speci- fies the serial number, model, furnace power and maximum operating pressure. - Data plate 2 3 2 7 0 0 0 0 5 8 1 This lists the technical specifications and per- formance of the product.
START UP Have r’s Technical Assistance Service start up your r RTS 2S 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.
If a “LOCKOUT SHUTDOWN” occurs, wait about The burner should now ignite and remain in operation 30 seconds before resetting the burner. until the set temperature is reached. To reset the burner, press the red button light on the If any ignition faults or malfunctions occur, the burner burner and wait until the flame ignites.
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.

ANTI-CONDENSATE PUMP An anti-condensate pump operates during periods of no heat request to avoid damage until the boiler returns to a stable operating temperature. While the system is operating, this pump must guarantee a flow rate between 20 and 30% maximum flow to ensure a water return temperature no lower than 55 °C.
The stack must guarantee the minimum draught Joints must be sealed using appropriate materials specified by applicable technical standards, (e.g. filler, mastic or silicone based sealant). assuming zero pressure at the connection to the flue gas exhaust. Uninsulated flues are potentially dangerous and Inadequate or badly dimensioned stacks and exhausts can cause burns.

PREPARING FOR INITIAL START-UP It is essential to perform the following checks before starting up or testing the functioning of your r RTS 2S boiler. In particular, check that: - The water and gas cocks are open. - There is an adequate fuel supply. - The expansion vessel is properly charged.
INITIAL START-UP Once you have completed all the preparatory steps, proceed as follows to start up the boiler for the first time: - If the system is equipped with a temperature controller or timer thermostat, make sure that it is switched on. - Adjust the timer thermostat/s or temperature controller to the desired temperature (~20°...
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 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.
