Mounting the boiler Install the boiler in a well-ventilated boiler room in accordance to the actual local regulations BS5440-2:2000. The room where the boiler will be placed must always be frost free. It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air vent in the room or internal space in which the boiler is installed.
A low velocity header must be connected to the Q51C, Q51S and Q60S to prevent flow problems over the boiler. ATAG supplies the AA1OV09U Low velocity header for 1 boiler. This can be connected directly under the boiler on the flow and return pipe.
Page 10
If the installation resistance is higher than the stated value the pump will rotate at maximum pump capacity and the load will be adjusted until an acceptable temperature difference between flow and return water has been obtained. If, after this, the temperature difference remains to much then the boiler will switch itself off and wait until an acceptable temperature has arisen (DT 20°C).
6.2 Expansion vessel The central heating system must be provided with an expansion vessel. The expansion vessel which is used should be geared to the water content of the installation. The pre- charge pressure depends on the installation height above the mounted expansion vessel. See table 6.2.a.
Another possibility is to remove the pollution by installing a filter. The filter type has to fit the type and grain size of the pollution. ATAG Heating UK Ltd recommends filter usage. In this case, the whole piping system should be taken into consideration.

Make sure that the gas pipe work does not contain dirt, particularly with new pipes. When the boiler has to be converted from natural gas to LPG, ATAG provides special kits for this purpose. Special instructions are supplied with the kit.
ATAG Condensing boilers have the top SEDBUK band A Classification for high energy efficiency in heating and domestic hot water. All ATAG wall hung gas fired condensing boilers contain a syphonic condensate trap to collect and realease condensate. The amount of condensate formed is determind by the type of boilers and the water temperature produced by the boiler.

Final discharge options. The condensate pipe can only terminate into any one of the five areas as shown in the diagrams on this page. Draining of the condensation water to the external rain guttering is not permitted in view of the danger of freezing. Before putting the boiler into operation fill the syphon with 300 ml of water.

The boiler can be fitted with a parallel connected flue gas outlet and air supply system or a concentric flue gas outlet and air supply system. The appliance connection diameter is 80/125 mm, to which the flue gas outlet and air supply system can be fitted, with or without elbow pieces.
Page 19
Boiler conversion from concentric to parallel It is also possible to use a parallel pipe connection of 2x 80mm. In this case a conversion kit 'concentric to parallel' should be ordered. Art.nr. S4440520. 1. Push the 2 clips slightly outwards. 2.

In certain weather conditions condensation may also accumulate on the outside of the air inlet pipe. Such conditions must be considered and where necessary insulation of the inlet pipe may be required. In cold and/or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving the flue terminal. The effect of such ‘plumeing’...
6.8.1 Dimensioning of the flue gas and air intake duct The flue diameter is determined by the total length of the run, including for the connection pipe, elbows fittings and terminal covers etc and the type and number of boilers installed into the system.
External hot water cylinders Depending of the comfort preferences different external hot water cylinders can be connected to the boiler. The choice of the cylinder depends on the coil output. The coil output must comply with the boiler output. A cylinder which is used in combination with a Q 51S or Q 60S, should have a minimal capacity of 40 kW resp.
Should it be necessary to change it, the mains power supply cable may only be replaced with an ATAG mains power supply cable (item No. S4396700). The ATAG room thermostat and controls must be connected to their allocated connections. All other types or makes of room thermostats or controls which are used must have a Volt free contact.
Boiler controls The boiler is provided with a fully automatic microprocessor control, called CMS Control Management System. This control simplifies operation by undertaking all major control functions. Initially when power to the unit is switched on it will remain on standby. There is no indication Led on, untill one of the programme keys is pressed.

Commissioning the boiler Before the boiler is fired, ensure that the boiler and the system are well vented and free of air. Purge the gas line between the gas meter and the boiler and carry out a gas soundness test as specified in the current Gas Safety Regulations. The boiler does not require adjustment of the burner pressure and air quantity because it is self adjusting and is factory set at the correct value.
In certain cases adjustment have to be altered in case of : Lower flow temperature More boilers in Cascade, i.e.. Read through the Parameter chapter to adjust the boiler to its installation. Contact ATAG Heating in case of doubt. Please follow next procudere to alter adjustments: Altering adjustments STEP 1 Press the Mode-key for 5 secondss.

Isolating the boiler In some situations it may be that the entire boiler must be switched off. By switching off the three keys with the lamps for central heating, hot water and pump programme ), the boiler is switched off. Leave the plug in the wall socket, which means the circulation pump and the three-way valve are activated once every 24 hours in order to prevent jamming.
13.1 Checking for contamination In order to be able to check the boiler for contamination in the following years it is advisable to measure the maximum air displacement in the boiler when putting the boiler into operation. This value can be different with each type of boiler. In order to be able to measure this value follow the next procedure: Press the MODE-key for 5 seconds.
5,0% and 7,0% 5,1% and 7,0% CO/CO ratio less than 0.004% Contact ATAG Heating when the measured values is outside this range. Ending the O measuring procedure: Press the - key until OFF is shown (keep key pressed). With this the procedure has ended.

Error indication A detected error is indicated on the display by means of blocking or error messages. A distinction should be made between these two messages due to the fact that blocking can be of a temporary nature, however, error messages are fixed lockings. The control will try its utmost to prevent locking and will temporarily switch off the unit by blocking it.
