  • Page 9: Installation

    Ferroli F 30 B 2. INSTALLATION 2.1 General Instructions This device must only be used for the purpose for which it is specially designed. This unit is designed to heat water to a temperature below boiling point and must be connected to a hea- ting system and/or a water supply system for domestic use, compatible with its performance, characteristics and its heating capacity.

  • Page 10: Boiler Location

    Ferroli F 30 B 2.2 Boiler location The unit’s combustion circuit is sealed off from the installation room. The installation room must be sufficiently well ventilated to prevent any dangerous conditions from forming in the event of even slight gas leakage. This safety standard is required by the EEC Directive no. 90/396 for all gas units, including those with a so-called sealed chamber.
  • Page 11 Ferroli F 30 B Make Up Water Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798, for methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's central heating system and the mains water supply.

  • Page 12: Boiler Water Connections

    Ferroli F 30 B 2.3 Boiler water connections The heating capacity of the unit should be previously established by calculating the building’s heat requirement according to current regulations. For good operation and long life of the boiler, the plumbing system must be well proportioned and always complete with all those accessories that guarantee regular operation and running, room thermostat, trv’s and automatic bypass.

    Ferroli F 30 B Cleaning the boiler and burner The body and burner must not be cleaned with chemical products or wire brushes. Special care must be taken over all the sealing systems pertaining to the sealed chamber (gaskets, cable clamps, etc.). In addition, it is necessary to pay attention after performing all these operations to check and carry out all the phases of ignition and thermostat operation, the gas valve and circulation pump.
  • Page 30 Ferroli F 30 B The burner will light at ignition burner pressure, automatically range rating itself up to the heating load, then modulating down when the boiler reaches the desired flow temperature. When the central heating is satisfied the burner will go off and the fan stops i.e. stand-by mode.
  • Page 31 Ferroli F 30 B MF03.1 PCB When operating the C.H. the following lights should be on: 4, 5 and flame on light. For D.H.W. the following lights should be on: 3, 5 and flame on light. If the boiler works for C.H. but not D.H.W., or vice versa, a number of components must be functioning and can, therefore, be eliminated as being at fault.
