Installation Commissioning and testing Before commissioning the appliance, the whole gas installation including the meter must be purged and tested for gas soundness in accordance with BS 6891: 1988. Danger Open all doors and windows; extinguish naked lights and do not smoke whilst purging the gas line.
Installation Commissioning and testing (cont.) Note Additive combinations are permitted only if approsed additive suppliers recom- mend it and always according to supplier´s dosage recommendation. Filling the heating system Important information Unsuitable fill water increases the level of deposits and corrosion and may lead to boiler damage.
Page 49
Installation Commissioning and testing (cont.) 4. Close the shut off valves A to pre- vent water leaving the boiler (toggle at 90 to the pipe). Connect a hose- pipe to outlet D ready to vent the boiler later. 5. Turn valve B to the draining posi- tion (toggle to the front).
Page 50
Installation Commissioning and testing (cont.) Venting the boiler by flushing out (after venting system) 1. Leaving the hose connections from filling the system continue to fil the biler from the external filling loop and draininig the ewater to a drain from connection D.
Page 51
Installation Commissioning and testing (cont.) 8. Turn temperature gauge controls to the desired operating position. Note: Be aware thath the boiler may still need to be vented as air pockets are drawn into the heat exchanger. 9. Turn rotary knobs "tr" and "tw" into control range again.
Page 52
Installation Commissioning and testing (cont.) 1. Close the gas shut-off valve. 2. Release the screw inside test nip- ple "IN" A on the gas combination valve , but do not remove, and con- nect the pressure gauge. 3. Open the gas shut-off valve. 4.
Installation Commissioning and testing (cont.) 8. Open the gas shut-off valve and start the boiler. Danger Gas escaping from the test nipple leads to a risk of explosion. Check test nipple A for soundness. Checking the CO settings Vitodens100 is factory-set for natural gas. During commissioning or maintenance, the CO setting can be measured at the boiler flue adaptor testpoint.
Page 54
Installation Commissioning and testing (cont.) 3. Set the upper rated output. Turn rotary selector "tr" less than 3 seconds clockwise to the end stop, then back again into the cor- rect control range. 4. Check the CO content. Should the actual value deviate by more than 1% from the above range, check the seals in the balanced flue sys-...
Page 55
Installation Commissioning and testing (cont.) Setting the max. output Note The gas control is fully modulating and will normally facilitate a rapid heat up at maximum output followed by a continually controlled heat output. If the system has a particularly low heating load it is possible to restrict the maximum heating output to prevent short cycling.
Page 56
Installation Commissioning and testing (cont.) Setting DHW temperature: Set rotary selector tw to the desired DHW temperature. The display shows w the set tem- perature is shown. Adjusting the boiler water temperature The boiler water temperature must be set at an adequate level to satisfy the requirements of the heating system.
