5. Boiler placement and installation 5.1. Regulations and directives A boiler for solid fuels can be installed by an organization authorized to install these devices. The installation must be made in accordance with the project subject to applicable regulations. The heating system must be filled with water that meets the requirements of CSN 07 7401: 1992 and importantly its hardness must not exceed the required parameters.
ČSN 33 2000-4-41 ed.2:2007 Low-voltage electric installations - Part 4-41: Protective measures to ensure safety - Protection against electric shock ČSN 33 2000-5-51 ed.3:2010 Electrical installations of buildings - Part 5-51: Selection and assembly of electrical equipment - General requirements ČSN 33 2000-7-701 ed.2:2007 Low-voltage electric installations - Part 7-701: Single-purpose equipment and in special premises - Premises with tub or shower ČSN 33 2030:2014...

• The gap above the fuel container must be at least 1000 mm (for BENEKOV S16 and S26 boilers) and 1400 mm (for BENEKOV S51 boiler) to allow full opening of the fuel tank cover.
• The BENEKOV S16 and S26 boiler is connected to the chimney using a metal pipe with a diameter of 145 or 150 mm. • The BENEKOV S51 boiler is connected to the chimney using a metal pipe with a diameter of 200 mm.

The room thermostat connector, respectively equitherm control can only be connected to a thermostat with free potentialless contact (eg. SIEMENS REV, HONEYWELL CM…). No external voltage can be connected to any of these terminals. Fig. no. 21 Connection dimensions of BENEKOV S16 boiler...
Connection to the chimney - must be approved by a chimney sweeping company e) Ceramic reflector of BENEKOV S16 and S26 boilers (fig. no. 24, pos. 7) fitted into the combustion chamber of the burner, i.e. laid on the obliquely welded beams (8) in the boiler body and attached to the back wall of the combustion chamber.

7. Boiler operation by user 7.1. Making fire in the boiler 1. Check the water volume in the heating system. 2. Check whether the stop valves between the boiler and the heating system are open. 3. Check the circulation pump functionality. 4.
7.2. Boiler operation After fuel flame-up the boiler switches (see separate control unit instruction manual) to automatic operation, which includes the fan, as well as cycling of the fuel screw feeder. The control unit display visualizes the basic data regarding the boiler operation. The boiler operation is automatic until the desired water temperature is reached.
• All flammable substances must be at a minimum distance of 1500 mm from the boiler when removing ash from the boiler. The ashes must be put into incombustible containers with lids. • When operating the boiler at a temperature below 60 °C, the steel boiler body is covered with dew and so-called low-temperature corrosion occurs, which reduces its service life.
8. Boiler maintenance NOTE: Before performing maintenance and cleaning the boiler and/or feeder mechanism, it is necessary to make sure the boiler is disconnected from the power supply (plug pulled out of the socket). Risk of injury! 1.) It is necessary to ensure timely refuelling. If a small amount of fuel remains in the container, it must be refilled immediately to prevent extraction of "false air"...
9. Troubleshooting If you have problems with the operation of the boiler, try some of the following solutions: SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION The display does not The boiler is not Connect the boiler to the mains (400V/50Hz) via show any data. connected to the mains.
The boiler uses non- Refill the container with prescribed fuel. prescribed fuel (high humidity, lower calorific capacity, etc.) The flue gas temperature The boiler is clogged with Clean the heat transfer surfaces of the boiler is higher than specified in soot.
If the boiler is operated in accordance with the instructions provided in the "Boiler operating and instruction manual", it does not need any special service interventions. The "Certificate of quality and completeness of BENEKOV boiler" serves as a "Guarantee Certificate" after having been completed by contractual service organization.
