For your safety For your safety Intended use Heating room This boiler is only to be used to heat heating system FIRE HAZARD water and for the domestic hot water (DHW) supply e. g. due to flammable materials or liquids. in residential and light commercial properties.
For your safety Maintenance schedule DAMAGE TO THE INSTALLATION due to insufficient or improper cleaning and maintenance. Have the heating system inspected, cleaned and serviced by a registered Gas Safe installer once a year. We advise you to enter into a contract for annual inspection and maintenance.
Explanation of the control unit Explanation of the control unit General The boiler is fitted with a control unit, the BC10 basic controller ( fig. 2). This controller can be used to con- trol the heating system. If your heating system consists of several boilers (cascade system), you have to carry out the settings on the control units of all individual boilers.

Explanation of the control unit "Chimney sweep" button The "Chimney sweep" button (fig. 5, item 3) is used to put the boiler into manual operation mode, e.g. if the heating system control (e.g. room controller) is defec- tive. The heating system can be operated in manual mode, independent of a room controller on a temporary basis.

Explanation of the control unit Maximum CH (boiler) flow temperature dial The maximum CH (boiler) flow temperature (fig. 6, item 8) is used to set the upper CH (boiler) flow temperature limit. The unit is °C. DAMAGE TO THE INSTALLATION with underfloor heating: by the floor being overheated.
Commissioning the heating system Commissioning the heating system This chapter explains how you can start up your heating system, e.g. after a holiday. Checking and correcting the system pressure If the heating system has been newly filled, the system pressure must initially be checked every day, for 1 week. The maximum pressure in the heating system, meas- ured directly at the boiler, must not exceed 2.5 bar.

Commissioning the heating system Open the heating flow and return valves on the pump group (fig. 12) (open position: parallel to the pipe). fig. 12 Opening the flow and return valves (here: open position) Read the pressure from the pressure gauge on the pump group or on the control panel of the BC10 (fig.
Commissioning the heating system Boiler settings Proceed as follows to complete the commissioning pro- cedure: Slowly open the gas valve by pushing on the gas valve and turning it ¼ rotation in an anticlockwise direction (fig. 15). The gas valve is open when it is in its vertical position.
Commissioning the heating system 5.2.2 Setting the DHW temperature The boiler is factory-set to a DHW temperature of 60 °C. This setting should prevent any legionella bacteria present in the system from propagating. However, to be able to meet the various requirements of different users, the DHW temperature of your boiler can be adjusted.
Commissioning the heating system 5.2.3 Frost protection The boiler has an integrated frost protection system. This means that no further frost protection facilities should be installed on the boiler. The frost protection switches on the boiler at a CH (boiler) flow temperature of 7 °C and switches it off at a CH (boiler) flow temperature of 15 °C.
Operating the heating system Operating the heating system Menu structure You can navigate through the menu structure of the cen- tral boiler on the BC10 using the "Reset" button, the "Chimney sweep" button, the "Service button" (fig. 19, items 1, 2 and 3) and the display (fig. 19, item 4) in accordance with the menus in tables 5, 6 and 7.

Operating the heating system 6.1.2 Manual Operation menu In manual mode, the heating system can be operated independent of a room controller (e. g. RC35). Re-start manual operation after switching on the heating system, so that the system is permanently in operation (especially if there is a risk of freezing).
Operating the heating system 6.1.3 Settings menu Three settings can be made in the Settings menu: – Target boiler output; – Target pump run-over time; – DHW mode target status. The target boiler output and the DHW mode target status should be set by a registered installer.

Please note: Setting switches off the hot water cylinder frost protection. Step 15 Have at least 5 seconds passed without a button being pressed and/or has the mains voltage Yes: step 17 been interrupted ?
Shutting down the heating system Shutting down the heating system Shutting down the heating system using the control unit Shut down your heating system by means of the Loga- matic BC10 basic controller. Further information about the use of the Logamatic BC10 basic controller is provided in chapter 6 "Operat- ing the heating system", page 18.
Shutting down the heating system Shutting down the heating system in case of the risk of freezing (interruption of use) DAMAGE TO THE INSTALLATION due to frost. The heating system may freeze up after some time in certain situations, e.g. after a power failure, when the supply voltage has been switched off, in case of faulty gas sup- ply, a boiler fault etc.
