KONA
A. Gas conversion from G31 to G30, Propane to Butane and vice
versa (from G30 to G31, Butane to Propane)
If you have purchased the KONA LPG model, which will be preset
at the factory to G31 (Propane), to convert it to G30 (Butane)
the "FA" parameter must simply be set, which in this example
would be the following setting:
From factory value, for G31 (Propane):
to the new value,
for G30 (Butane):
according to the liters of the water heater model, as shown in the
parameter table (see Section 3.5.1). To convert the other way,
always with the KONA LPG model, from G30 to G31, the process
would be the same up to this point, changing the FA parameter
with the corresponding value.
In this case, after changing the FA parameter no more changes
must be made on the electronics, so you can continue by tou-
ching the " + " key until you reach the last "qU" parameter. From
this final parameter, you must confirm and leave by touching
the Standby key.
B. Gas conversion with Transformation Kit
If the gas conversion has been performed by converting the water
heater, the FA parameter must also be set first, according to
the gas that the KONA water heater will work with:
- Transformed to G20:
- Transformed to GLP
- Transformed to G25:
- Transformed to G230:
and according to the liters of the water heater model, as shown in
the parameter table (see Section 3.5.1).
In this case, after changing the FA parameter the gas valve must
be calibrated, via consecutive parameters to FA.
4 - Open the gas valve
After confirming the new FA parameter value the water heater is
already set for the new gas and the gas valve can be opened.

5 - Gas valve calibration

The gas valve must be calibrated for every gas conversion on
the KONA that has been converted with the corresponding Kit
(that is, for every conversion except the LPG model, which
converts from G31 to G30 and vice versa).
For this follow Section 3.1.2 entirely to perform this step cor-
rectly.

6 - Placing the new gas technical data label
To show that the gas conversion has been correctly completed,
place the new adhesive technical data label on the water heater's
casing, replacing the one that came from the factory with the new
one:
- Additional G30 gas label which comes with your KONA LPG (for
conversions from G31 to G30).
- Corresponding gas label (G20, G30, G31, G25, G230) which
comes with the corresponding Transformation Kit.
3�1�2 Gas valve calibration
This must only be performed in the following cases:
- GAS VALVE REPLACEMENT
- ELECTRONIC CARD REPLACEMENT
- GAS CHANGE WITH TRANSFORMATION
The gas valve (with integrated modulating actuator) is not ca-
librated mechanically; the minimum and maximum capacity is
adjusted electronically via 2 parameters:
Par.
PH Total Maximum Pressure (entire burner)
P2
Minimum Pressure (burner minimum section) 20 - F0
GAS VALVE CALIBRATION
/ 11
1 Check that the supply pressure according to the type of
/ 12
gas complies with that shown on the Technical Data Table
/ 13
(see Section 4.3).
/ 14
2 On the same Technical Data Table, check the Maximum
Pressure and Minimum Pressure values of your water he-
ater, according to the water heater model and type of gas,
to take them into account in the following steps.
3 Connect a gauge to check the outlet pressure of the gas valve.
4 Touch the Standby key
5 Activate the parameter list by touching the ECO key for 5 se-
conds until "PP" appears on the display. Touch the Standby
key and the first "FA" parameter appears.
6 Touch the " + " key once and the first parameter of the valve
to be calibrated appears, "PH", relative to Maximum Pressure.
7 Selecting "PH", you must touch the Standby key to enter its
calibration, showing its internal value of the Maximum Pressu-
re parameter.
8 To set the "PH" parameter, touch the " + " or " – " key on the
panel until the gauge shows the Maximum nominal Pressure
minus 1 mbar. Wait 10 seconds for the pressure to stabilize.
If the gauge shows a different value to the maximum nominal
pressure, increase the "PH" parameter in steps with the " + "
key. After each change, wait 10 seconds for the pressure to
stabilize. If the gauge shows the same value as the Maximum
nominal Pressure, confirm it with the Standby key.
