1. Safety instructions Basic safety precautions Read carefully through the present boiler operating and maintenance manual and request adequate training from the installer The boiler connection must comply with the applicable regulations Keep the boiler room tidy Do not leave combustible articles in the vicinity of the boiler The boiler may only be operated by persons above the age of eighteen Do not allow children in the vicinity of the boiler Use personal protective equipment –...
1.3. Operators and supervisors Boiler operators must follow the operation and maintenance manual. Any interventions with the boilers that could endanger the health of the operators or those sharing the household are inadmissible! The boilers may only be operated by persons above the age of 18 familiar with the manual and operation of the boiler. It is inadmissible to leave children unattended near the boilers in operation.

7. Preparing the boiler for commissioning Prior to putting the boiler into operation, the conditions stipulated under the relevant ČSN must be adhered to (such as chimney inspection and approval of fitness for purpose by the Chimney Authorities, a heating system designed calculated for this type of boiler, completion of a heating test, etc.).

Chart showing connection of the boiler to the gravity circulation heating system (indicative chart with no claim to completeness) Chart showing connection of the boiler to the system with a pressure expansion vessel (indicative chart with no claim to completeness) A safety pressure valve must be used, whose opening overepressure is 180 kPa! The valve must be fitted to the hot water outlet from the boiler, as close to the outlet pipe as possible.
7.3 Boiler connection to the smoke duct and chimney The boiler connection to the flue duct and chimney must correspond to the relevant standards and regulations and must be approved by the relevant Chimney Authorities. Smoke duct The smoke duct must issue into the chimney vent. Unless the boiler can be connected directly to the chimney vent, the respective extension to the smoke duct must be as short as practicable.
8.2 Operating modes We recommend setting the boiler water (primary circuit) to the temperature of at least 70 C. The low operating boiler temperature supports condensation of tar components on the boiler walls, thus bringing out corrosion which substantially reduces the boiler life.
Notice: In the inhibited mode, the firewood does not burn but rather smoulders and imperfect combustion occurs, releasing smoke gases at an inappropriate composition. The boiler gets clogged and tars in the chute thus reducing its life. In terms of heating ecology and boiler life, excessive heat energy or scheduling of the heating process should be addressed by means of storage tanks and their controlled discharging.
Operating statuses of the boiler in automatic mode Firing up – With insufficient heating water temperature the circulation pump is switched off. The fan slowly increases its power until the heating water temperature exceeds the condensation temperature. Then it passes into the operation stage Operation –...
8.6 Boiler cleaning and maintenance The boiler should be cleaned at a greater frequency as tar and ash deteriorate heat transfer, which reduces boiler efficiency. The ash from the chute shall be swept away through the opening in the nozzle into the combustion chamber. Tar components must be removed from the boiler walls by a scraper and also swept into the combustion chamber.

Clean the air duct between the fan and the nozzle. This must be done after Clogged secondary air vents to the removal of the front fan cover and the fan. nozzle. We recommend trusting the job to a specialised service company! Clogged or overly contaminated Clean the exchanger including the bottom exchanger space (the combustion...
Set another temperature level for switching the fan off – see the service The fan is switched off by the sub-limit settings. In the event of a failure of the thermostat. The boiler temperature has thermostat or the switch, the decreased under 50 replacement must be carried out by a professional service company!
the connection of the flat patching cable between the input/output module and the Ecomax control panel. Connect the power cable of the input/output module to the 230VAC distribution grid. Physically check the running of the primary air circulation pump and the secondary heating circuit pump if present in the heating system.
10.2 Description of the connection The controller is powered up by 230V/50Hz network using a network cable with a bent plug and CEE7/7 connector. The IEC 320 C13 network socket case accommodates a protective 2A/T tube fuse. The power part of the controller is screwed onto the inside of the boiler’s sheet case, equipped with passages and a flat patching cable for the Ecomax control panel.
10.3 Controller parameters Ecomax input/output module Size: 215×132×83 (width×height×depth) Supply voltage: 230VAC Maximum current consumption: Maximum input power: 260VA Temperature sensor input : 2 inputs for DS18B20 digital temperature sensors Safety thermostat input: 230VAC normally closed contact Open door sensor input: 230VAC normally closed contact Fan motor output: 230VAC triac,...
