Drawing, legend and data refer to standard models. For specific models refer to the supplied accessory manual. For practical needs, the electric panel for models SIXEN 350÷800 vers. IT and SIXEN 350÷1350 vers. EXP is installed on the left, while for models SIXEN 1000÷5000 vers.
BURNERS SIXEN The burners that can be installed on the boilers must be CE marked according to European Directives: – Gas Directive 2009/142/EC – Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU – Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU – Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (for liquid fuel burners) They must also be able to operate on boilers with flame inversion combustion chamber.
PAPERWORK These generators, supplied in single-block, are CE marked according to the Directive 2014/68/EU "PED". The documentation supplied with the generator is: – declaration of conformity of the whole – use and maintenance manual (always housed in the electrical panel) –...
COMPONENTS SIXEN steam generators are equipped with a set of components that can be divided into: – Safety components (safety valves, safety level switches, safety pressure switch). – Indicator components (level indicator, pressure gauge, flame warning light). – Adjustment components (level regulators, pressure switches, pressure transmitters). –...

The main components of the safety valve are: Lifting lever Spring Valve body Drain Fluid inlet IMPORTANT Before starting the generator, remove the steel wire that blocks the lever during transport. Make sure that the lifting lever is free to move. In case of conveyed drain, bracket the conveying pipe to compensate the reaction force generated when the fluid is drained.

VALVE MAINTENANCE The valve is a very delicate mechanism, so the system operator must check its efficiency. If necessary, contact a technician authorised by the manufacturer. It is good practice for the safety valves installed to protect the plant: – to be operated (once a week) with system pressurised, by activating the manual lifting lever of the shutter –...
Intrinsic safety operation for increasing pressure The figure shows a section of the intrinsic safety bellows for increasing pressure. When pressure increases, the contact lever interrupts the connection between terminals 1 and 2. Should the internal bellows pierce, the pressure will be sent to the external bellows. The external bellows surface is three times higher than the one of the internal bellows.
With these valves you can periodically test the efficiency of the level control system by performing the following operations. Open the purge valve for a few seconds and close it again. If the water disappears and then quickly returns to the starting point with large swings, it can be assumed that the level works well. Whereas, if the water slowly returns or stops at a different point from the previous, it means that one of the communications is obstructed;...
Installation PRODUCT RECEIPT SIXEN generators are supplied complete with accessories. The combustion chamber contains: – turbulator unit to be inserted in the smoke pipes during installation – thermoceramic material to be inserted in the gap between burner mouthpiece and door insulation The control panel contains the following documentation: –...
HANDLING SIXEN steam generator must be handled using means adequate to the size and weight of the appliance, using the provided lifting eyebolts. ATTENTION The Personal Protective Equipment required by current legislation must be used. Installation...
INSTALLATION ROOM POSITIONING SIXEN boiler installation room must be for exclusive use, meet the Technical Standards and Legislation in force and equipped with adequately sized ventilation openings. It is recommended to position the boiler, if possible, lifted from the floor to minimise dust extraction by the burner fan. For information only, below is some useful information: –...
The air must be filtered with 25 µm mesh. IMPORTANT ICI CALDAIE S.p.A. is not liable for any harm to people, animals or property damage caused by errors in the choice of components or in the construction of the plant.
DOOR OPENING REVERSAL (TO THE RIGHT) IMPORTANT Door opening inversion is possible ONLY for models from SIXEN 350 to SIXEN 1400. NOTE The ferrules (8) can be "adjusted with wrench" or "perforated for lever adjustment".
FRONT DOOR ADJUSTMENT DANGER Incorrect door adjustment with consequent damage to people and property voids the warranty conditions. DOOR ADJUSTMENT (OPENING ON THE RIGHT) VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT To make the adjustment: – with the door ajar, loosen the counter-nuts (1) of the hinge units –...
Technical Standards and the local and national Legislation. [1] For practical needs, the electric panel for models SIXEN 350÷800 vers. IT and SIXEN 350÷1350 vers. EXP is installed on the left, while for models SIXEN 1000÷5000 vers. IT and SIXEN 1700÷5000 vers.
LOADING AND SUPPLY OF THE GENERATOR/SYSTEM The steam generator is fed with a multistage centrifugal pump. The water must reach the pump intake with a certain head in order to avoid cavitation. The minimum temperature of the sucked water must be greater than 60°C; this favours the elimination of oxygen which, in any case, must be completely eliminated with suitable chemicals.
WATER CHARACTERISTICS The values in the following tables are extracted from tables 5.1 and 5.2 in EN 12953-10 (requirements concerning the quality of water supply and the water in the generator). Even for generators that are not covered by the aforementioned provision it is however necessary to adopt at least the indicated limits and however, to refer to the specialised companies that manage selecting the type of treatment to be carried out on the basis of a thorough analysis of the water available.
5.2 Operating water - threshold values Steam generator water with pressure up to 20 bar CHARACTERISTICS u.m. Direct conductivity of the supply water > 30 μS/ Direct conductivity of the supply water ≤30 μS/ Appearance Clear, limpid, without foam or suspended solids Direct conductivity at 25°C μS/cm <...
PRELIMINARY CHECKS IMPORTANT – Before starting the steam generator, it is advisable to perform " Alkaline boiling " with subsequent passivation, to remove any processing residues. Considering the high risk deriving from incorrect chemical treatments, the operations must be professionally qualified personnel carried out by –...
CHECKS AFTER COMMISSIONING With cold start, check that: – the generator is filled with water up to the minimum level – the volume increase due to heating (thermal expansion of the water) does not excessively increase the level making draining necessary at regular intervals to bring the level back to half scale of the glass indicator –...
Maintenance Periodic maintenance is an obligation required by the safety Legislation and duration of the appliance, and it must only be entrusted to professionally qualified personnel. The frequency of the operations is shown in the specific paragraph. IMPORTANT Before performing any maintenance or cleaning: –...

T(2) Physical verification of the intervention of the devices (as described in the following paragraph "Checking of the minimum level safety level switches").
Failure") of 8 YEARS. It is an average time before a dangerous failure occurs. Therefore, they must be replaced after this operating period. We recommend replacing the probes once a year. To be evaluated, during cleaning/maintenance, the other mechanical, electromechanical and electronic parts. – The faulty components must be replaced with ICI CALDAIE S.p.A. original components.
