Page 6: Introduction
Page 4 INTRODUCTION This manual is intended for the installer/user of the MIKROFILL range of condensing boilers.This manual contains the necessary information relating to the installation and settings of the Ethos 30/36 and 42/46. You need to consult this manual before installation in order to ensure that you carry out all the work correctly. -

Page 8: Siting The Boiler
Page 6 4.2 Siting the boiler Mikrofill appliances are suitable for all gas groups G20. The flue, whether single or concentric, must be installed in compliance with the current flue recommendations BS5440 Combination boilers should be sited as close as possible to the hot water draw off point to avoid excessive water wastage. -
Page 9: Mounting The Boiler
The dimension of the flue gas outlet pipe is 80 mm; the air inlet is similarly 80 mm. The air inlet can be placed on either the left or right hand side of the flue gas outlet pipe. Installation manual MIKROFILL ETHOS... - Page 10 The air inlet with an 80 mm diameter, must be closed with the seal supplied with it. 4.6(T) Load 500 ( Pa ) Resistance 1 = ETHOS 30/36 2 = ETHOS 42/46 Installation manual MIKROFILL ETHOS...

Page 11: Inlet And Outlet Air System
Air inlet and flue outlet system. The MIKROFILL boiler is a room sealed appliance that does not use any oxygen from the room in which it is installed; the casing is air tight, so that oxygen is provided only through the air inlet pipe. -
Page 12: Flue Resistance Table
Total resistance is now 94.5 Pa minus the vertical flue pipe induced draught of 3 Pa/vertical metre therefore (25 x 3 Pa = 75) = 19.5 Pa (thus below 100 Pa); so that the capacity of the boiler is not changed by the resistance. Installation manual MIKROFILL ETHOS... -
Page 13: Removal Of Condensation
In the absence of this barrier it is essential that a Mikrofill air and dirt seperator or similar appliance is installed. This is good practice even on steel/copper systems. This prevents contamination of the heat exchanger with system debris and magnetite caused by oxidation of the pipework. -
Page 14: Multi Speed Pump
For the fitting of the gas pipe and valve only, to test for gas leaks, a pressure of 100 mbar is briefly permitted. Purge the gas pipe carefully, before the appliance is used for the first time. Installation manual MIKROFILL ETHOS... -

Maximum switch capacity is 2 VA. Modulating thermostat (open therm) Mikrofill has a series of modulating thermostats in its range, with which the boiler modulation can be controlled. 9-10-11 External three-way valve - 24V only. If an external three-way valve is connected for an indirect cylinder for instance, the three-way valve motor needs to be connected here;... - Page 16 If a sensor is connected, the boiler temperature can be read on the boiler display. N-L-PE The 230VAC for an external pump is connected here; in combination with the PWM signal this is connected to the terminals 1 and 2, or an internal modulating CH pump.
