16 Fan, venturi device and
Air pressure switch
16.1

Function

The function of the Fan is to force the products of com-
bustion to the outside air via the flue system.
The Fan is supplied by the full sequence ignition device
at the beginning of the ignition cycle.
Its correct functioning is controlled by means of a sys-
tem incorporating a built in venturi device (A in Fig. 6)
and an Air pressure switch.

Checks

Check of the fan
n
Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains
electricity supply before removing any
covering or component.
1 Remove all the case panels and the sealed
chamber lid.
Disconnect the connectors B (Fig. 1) and
2
measure the electrical resistance of the motor
that has to be about:
47 Ω --- M90E.24S
43 Ω --- M90E.28S
25 Ω --- M90E.32S
(at ambient temperature).

1 Remove all the case panels and the sealed
chamber lid.
2 Disconnect the wires and check the electrical re-
sistance between the connections of the Air pres-
sure switch. Refer to the Fig. 2
Between COM or 3 and N.O. or 2 the contact must be
open.
Between COM or 3 and N.C. or 1 the contact must be
closed (electrical resistance zero).

Connect the black wire (COM or 3) and the brown
wire (N.C. or 1).
Run the boiler (the Fan must run) and check the
the electric resistance between COM or 3 and
N.O. or 2. Between COM or 3 and N.O. or "2 the
contact must be closed (electrical resistance
zero).

Check of the venturi device
Remove the caps of the pressure test points lo-
cated on the top of the boiler and connect a differ-
ential pressure gauge (Fig. 3).
Switch on the boiler.
Compare the value on the gauge with the follow-
ing minimum values:
90 Pa (0,9 mbar) --- M90E.24S
100 Pa (1,0 mbar) --- M90E.28S
130 Pa (1,3 mbar) --- M90E.32S

Removal of the Fan

Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains
electricity supply before removing any
covering or component.
Remove all the case panels, the sealed chamber
lid and the combustion chamber lid.
Disconnect the connectors B and the earth con-
nection C (Fig. 1).
Disconnect the pipe which connect the venturi
device to the Air pressure switch.
