2. Central heating systems Do not use automatic filling devices to add water to central heating systems. Use a manual device instead and record top-ups in the system service book. If a system comprises a number of boilers, when that system is first put into service, make sure that all the boilers function simultaneously or on a short interval rotation basis in order to evenly distribute initial limescale deposits.

These are contact between system water and air and the continuous addition of fresh water to the circuit. To eliminate contact between system water and the air (thus avoiding oxygenation of the system water), we need to: - ensure that the expansion vessel is a closed vessel, and of the correct size and pre-charge pressure (the pressure to be checked periodically);...

DRAINING THE CONDENSATE Always maintain a slope “i” of over 3° and ensure that the diameter of any hose used is greater than that of the boiler’s own condensate drain pipe. i≥3° The connection to the waste water drain must be made in compliance with national and local legislation and standards.

CH FROST PROTECTION TAU UNIT condensing boilers are equipped with an No special anti-frost additives are therefore needed, electronic frost protection system. This system starts up unless the system is to be completely shut down for the boiler if temperature drops below a certain threshold. an extended period of time.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TAU UNIT condensing boilers are fully wired in the factory. Only the following electrical connections remain to be made: - mains electricity supply; - room thermostat; - outdoor temperature sensor; - storage cylinder pump (if relevant). Proceed as follows to make these connections: - Remove the front and top panels from the boiler.
SENSOR CONNECTIONS Proceed as follows to access the control panel terminal strip: - Unscrew the screws (5) and turn out the front panel hous- ing the control panel. - Route the connection cables through the cable grommets in the rear of the control panel and the slots inside the front of the panel.
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 fac- ing wall, well clear of any flues, doors, windows and out of direct sunlight. Fixing the outside sensor to the wall - Unscrew (anti-clockwise) the cover from the sensor casing to access the sensor terminals and fixing holes.
FILLING AND DRAINING THE SYSTEM TAU UNIT boilers require a filling pipe connected to the central heating circuit return pipe. All the necessary circuit shut-off and drain cocks must be provided. FILLING THE SYSTEM Make sure that the boiler’s central heating drain cock (1) is closed before you start filling the system.
INITIAL START-UP - Switch the electricity supply ON at the system's main switch and at the control panel. - The boiler switches on and the display shows the soft- ware version of the main control board. - The display shows the system status and the tempera- ture measured by the boiler temperature sensor.
Page 40
If a remote storage cylinder (accessory) is present, connect the storage cylinder temperature sensor to the control panel and set the manufacturer level parameter “558b2”=0 (see the “Manufacturer level” section). - Press the key. Press the keys to adjust the setpoint. Press any of the keys to exit R T M V The new setting is stored in memory.
CHECKS DURING AND AFTER INITIAL START-UP Once the boiler has started up, make sure that it shuts down and re-starts properly when: - The central heating temperature setpoint is changed (see page 49) - The control panel is switched OFF - The room thermostat or timer setting is changed Make sure that all the pumps in the system are free and rotate in the right direction.
TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN If you are going to be away for a short period of time like a weekend or a short holiday, etc. proceed as follows. - Press and hold the key until the bar (1) appears under "Stand-by" mode". Provided power to the boiler remains switched on, as shown by the green LED, and the fuel supply remains open, the boiler remains protected by the frost protec-...
CALIBRATING COMBUSTION PARAMETERS Boilers are calibrated in the factory for G20/G25 20/25 mbar. If actual combustion parameter values differ from those given in the tables below, contact r's Technical Assistance Service. Proceed as follows to set combustion parameters. - Press and hold the keys for between 3 and 6 seconds to enter chimney sweep mode.
Page 44
- Press the key. The fan switches to minimum speed. - Set the CO level by turning the adjuster screw (4) on the gas valve. Turn anti-clockwise to reduce CO clockwise to increase CO - Make sure that the parameters listed in the table below are set as shown.
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).
Page 46
Compound outdoor temperature is calculated from effective outdoor temperature and attenuated outdoor temperature. It is calculated at 10 minute intervals on the basis of effective outdoor temperature and directly determines Summer/ Winter mode switching (par. 516).

Page 47
SETTING CENTRAL HEATING PARAMETERS - Press the key: - With an outdoor temperature sensor connected, set the room temperature setpoint. This setting shifts the heating curves (see the second figure on page 47) - With no outdoor temperature sensor connected, set a fixed boiler temperature setpoint.
ERROR CODES TEMPORARY ERROR DISPLAY - If a temporary error occurs, the display alternates between displaying the time display and the error code. - Press the key to display the error code on the main display. - Press and hold the keys simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Page 49
PERMANENT ERROR DISPLAY - If a permanent error occurs, the error code flashes on the main display. The controller performs a safety shut- down. Example: E154. - Press the key to display the error code on the main display. - Press and hold the keys simultaneously for 3 seconds.
