INSTALLER 2 . 1 3 Flue gas vent and comburent air intake TAU UNIT boilers are sealed boilers belonging to classes C13, C23, C33, C43, C53, C63 and C83. The boiler room does not therefore require air vents. The boiler room never- theless does require safety vents for use with gas fuels (METHANE and LPG).
INSTALLER 2 . 1 4 Electrical connections TAU UNIT condensing boilers are fully wired in the fac- tory. Only the following electrical connections remain to be made: − mains electricity supply; ROTATE − room thermostat; − outdoor temperature sensor; − storage cylinder pump (if relevant). Proceed as follows to make these connections: −...
INSTALLER 2 . 1 5 Sensor connections Proceed as follows to access the control panel terminal strip. − Unscrew the screws (5) and rotate the control pa- nel (2) outwards ROTATE − Route the connection cables through the cable grommets in the rear of the control panel and the slots inside the front of the panel.
INSTALLER 2 . 1 6 Outdoor sensor connections Correct positioning of the outside temperature sensor is essential to proper indoor climate control. The sensor must be installed outside the building to be heated, about 2/3 of the way up a NORTH or NORTH-WEST facing wall, well clear of any flues, doors, windows and out of direct sunlight.
INSTALLER 2 . 1 7 Filling and draining the system TAU 35 UNIT boilers require a filling pipe connected to the central heating circuit return pipe. CLOSED FILLING THE SYSTEM − Make sure that the boiler’s central heating drain cock (1) is closed before you start filling the sy- stem.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE 3 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE 3 . 1 Preparing for initial start-up It is essential to perform the following checks before starting up or testing the functioning of the boiler. − Check that the water and fuel shut-off cocks are open.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE 3 . 7 Setting functioning parameters If an outdoor temperature sensor is connected, the controller uses the heating curve to generate the CH flow tempera- ture setpoint, thus enabling the boiler to maintain a constant room temperature even without the use of a room unit. The steeper the slope of the heating curve, the higher the flow temperature setpoint at low outdoor temperatures (see Manufacturer parameter 532).
