3. Instructions for the installer Installation standards This boiler must be installed in compliance with the laws and standards in force in the country of installation, which are herein consi- dered as entirely transcribed. To find out about the gas category and technical specifications, refer to operation data and general features specified in the previous pages.
Positioning the boiler Each boiler is supplied with a paper template, found inside the packaging (see Fig. 9 Paper template). The template allows you to ensure that the pipes connected to the CH system and the gas mains, and the air intake/flue gas venting ducts are all laid out correctly during the realisation of the water system and before installation of the boiler.
Installing the boiler DANGER Before connecting the boiler to CH and DHW networks, clean the pipes carefully. Before commissioning a NEW system, clean it to remove any metal chips due to machining and welding, and any oil and grease that might negatively affect boiler operation or even damage it in case they get inside it. Before commissioning a RECONDITIONED system (where radiators have been added, the boiler has been replaced, etc.) thoroughly clean it to remove any sludge and residues.
In order to install the boiler proceed as follows: • Affix the template to the wall. • Drill two Ø 14 mm holes in the wall to accommodate the boiler bracket wall blocks. • If necessary, provide holes in the wall to allow air intake and/or flue gas venting ducts to pass through it; •...
Boiler room ventilation The boiler has sealed combustion chamber. Combustion air is not drawn from boiler room, therefore no specific recommendations need to be applied concerning the boiler room or openings and ventilation provided to the boiler room. In the case of type B23 installation in a closed room, air vents must be provided for in compliance with the standards in force in the country of installation.
3.6.1 Starter kit installation Refer to Fig. 11 Split kit installation and to Fig. 12 Coaxial kit installation. DANGER There must be no leakage of combustion by-products from any of the gaskets. Split kit (optional) Clean the boiler roof from dust and other debris due to any masonry works. Fix the adhesive gasket under the flange connection for flue gas venting system (A).
3.6.2 Pipe and terminal installation DANGER Flue gas venting pipes are to be installed tilted toward the boiler so that condensate runs toward the combustion cham- ber, which is designed for condensate collection and drainage. Should the above procedure not be possible, it is necessary to install, in condensate stagnation areas, devices designed for condensate collection and conveying to the condensate drain system.
Wall-mounted terminals The final parts of air intake and flue gas venting terminals, both split and coaxial, feature a groove (A) to fix the external collar (see Fig. 15 Wall-mounted terminal installation). Insert the external collar into the terminal until reaching the groove. Insert the terminal, from outside, making the external collar adhere to the wall.
Roof flues Insert the intake and/or flue gas venting flue from above through the tile. Position the rainproof collar (A) until it bottoms on the cap of the tile for roofs (B) and fix it with the screw supplied. Keep the distance indicated in the figure between the rainproof collar and the terminal. Check that the flue is in a vertical position and fix it to the structure with collars or other fixing systems.
Page 45
3.6.3 Possible configuration of air intake and flue gas venting ducts Type B23/B23P Boiler intended for connection to an existing flue system external to the boiler room. Combustion air is taken directly from the boiler room itself while flue gas is conveyed to the outside. The boiler is not to be fitted with anti-wind gust device;...
3.6.4 Length of air intake and flue gas venting ducts Lengths are expressed in equivalent metres on flue gas vent (m To calculate the actual length of the air intake/flue gas vent system, flow resistances of the accessories must be used (see Flow re- sistance tables on page 47).

Checking combustion efficiency 3.7.1 MANUAL TEST function The boiler features a MANUAL TEST function which must be used to measure combustion efficiency during operation and to adjust the burner. The MANUAL TEST function allows using the boiler with a settable fixed power. Maximum duration of the MANUAL TEST is 15 minutes.
3.7.2 Measurement procedure The boiler is supplied with two initial fittings: one for connection of the air intake duct A and one for connection of the flue gas vent duct B (see Fig. 18 Combustion analysis ports). Fittings are provided with ports for combustion analysis. If the starting fittings supplied are not used, provide for ports for combustion analysis.
Hydraulic connections 3.9.1 Central heating Prior to installing the boiler, the hydraulic system is to be cleaned in order to remove impurities; they could be present in system com- ponents and damage the pump and the heat exchanger. The CH outlet and return pipes must be connected to the respective 1¼” connectors M and R on the boiler (see Fig. 9 Paper tem- plate).
3.12 Installation and operation with Open Therm Remote Control (optional) WARNING Only use original Remote Control Units supplied by the manufacturer. The correct operation of the Remote Control itself and of the boiler is not guaranteed if non original Remote Control units not supplied by the manufacturer are used.
WARNING The temperature probe cables must NOT be routed together with power cables. The temperature probe must be installed on an outside wall facing NORTH - NORTH EAST, in a position protected from weather. Do not install near a window, ventilation openings or sources of heat. Once the external probe has been installed, it is necessary to enable its operation by changing parameter “1.6.
3.14 Operation with external 0-10V signal The boiler can be controlled by an external 0-10VDC signal. Control can be performed in terms of power or temperature. WARNING If the control from external 0-10VDC power signal is set, it is necessary to install a temperature probe on the boiler flow, to be connected to the 0-10VDC external controller.
3.15 TECHNICIAN MENU WARNING Parameter change in the TECHNICIAN MENU is reserved to service centres or qualified service engineers. Check that the boiler display is ON - not in “OFF” mode. If this is not the case press key to switch the boiler on. menu Press key to access the menu list.

3.22 Filling the system WARNING As for water treating in the domestic heating systems in order to optimise efficiency and safety, ensure a long life, trouble- free operation of auxiliary equipment, minimise power consumption, thereby integrating the standards and rules in force in the country of installation, it is recommended to use specific products suitable for multi-metal heating systems.
3.23 Filling the trap Before starting the boiler, and each time it is at a standstill for several days, make sure the trap is full of water. If the trap is empty, fill it by pouring water into the boiler through the flue gas venting duct. Fig.
4. Testing the boiler Preliminary checks Before testing the boiler, it is recommended to check the following: • The flue gas venting duct and the relevant terminal are installed in conformity with the instructions: with the boiler operating, there must be no leakage of combustion by-products from any of the gaskets. •...

5. Maintenance WARNING Any maintenance (and repair) work must only be carried out by qualified personnel. The user is strongly advised to have the product serviced and repaired by a service centre or qualified personnel. Appropriate boiler maintenance ensures efficient operation, environment preservation, and safety for people, animals and objects. Maintenance operations must be carried out at least once a year.
6. Decommissioning, disassembly and disposal Warning If you decide to definitively decommission the boiler, have decommissioning, disassembly and disposal procedures car- ried out by qualified personnel, only. The user is not authorised to carry out such operations. Decommissioning, disassembly and disposal operations must be performed with boiler cold and disconnected from gas and power mains.
