Electrical Supply - Vaillant ecoMAX pro 18 E Instructions For Use Installation And Servicing

12 Electrical connections
WARNING:
This boiler must be earthed.
All system components must be of an approved type,
and meet the requirements of the current IEE Wiring
Regulations, and in IE the current edition of the ETCI
rules. Electrical components have been tested to meet
the equivalent requirement of the BEAB.
Connection of the whole electrical supply must be
through a common isolator.
Isolation should preferably be by a double pole switched
fused spur box having a minimum contact separation
of 3mm on each pole. The fused spur box should be
readily accessible and preferably adjacent to the boiler.
It should be identified as to its use. A fused three pin
plug and shuttered socket outlet may be used instead of
a fused spur box provided that:
a) They are not used in a room containing a fixed bath or
shower.
b) Both the plug and socket comply with the current
issue of BS1363.
Do not interrupt the mains supply with a time switch or
programmer.
WARNING:
This appliance must be wired in accordance
with these instructions. Any fault arising from
incorrect wiring cannot be put right under the
terms of the Vaillant guarantee.

retaining screws indicated in Fig. 12.1 and carefully
lower to reveal the terminal strip inside.
Disconnect and remove the test cable from the terminal
strip and discard.

the external controls (room thermostat and, if applicable,
frost thermostat) into the marked terminals as shown in
Figs. 12.2 and 15.1.
Connect the pump supply into the marked pump
terminals as shown in Figs.12.2 and 15.1.
(NOTE: the boiler incorporates a pump overun

terminals in the terminal box on the boiler, not from a
separate supply).
Observe all terminal markings and colour codes shown
in Fig. 15.1.
Ensure that all flexible cords are routed through the
strain relief cable glands on the inlet of the terminal box.
