The following must be fulfilled before the installation and operation of a fully automatic pellet boiler.

6.1 Guidelines and standards for installing a pellet boiler

Overview of standards and guidelines applying to the installation of a pellet boiler.
Check whether you need to obtain planning permission or approval from the authorities for installing a new
heating system or changing your existing system. Legislation in your country must be observed.

6.2 Installation room

The installation room of the Pellematic Smart XS is not necessarily a boiler room. Observe the applicable na-
tional and regional regulations.
1. Safety warnings for the installation room
R R i i s s k k o o f f f f i i r r e e
Do not store flammable materials or liquids in the vici-
nity of the pellet boiler.
Do not permit unauthorized persons to enter the boiler
room - Keep children away.
Do not operate with fuel loading or ash removal doors
open.
2. Ventilation of the installation room
The installation room must have air inlet and outlet openings for ventilation, even if there is a direct con-
nection to the burner for combustion air.
This is to keep the combustion zone at a neutral pressure.
3. Admission of combustion air,
the pellet boiler requires combustion air. The combustion air can be supplied by:
a. Relying upon the boiler room air as supplied by the air inlet and outlet openings for ventilation in the
installation room.
b. Independently of the room air via a separate air intake line with a direct connection to the outdoor
atmosphere.
The air intake line must not follow the sewage pipe. The diameter of the air intake line must be at least
4 inches. If the air line is greater than 12 feet in length, or if it has more than 270 degrees of turns, then
it should be increased in size to 5 inch.
Never operate the pellet boiler if the air intake openings are partially or completely closed.
Contaminated combustion air can cause damage to the pellet boiler. Never store or use cleaning deter-
gents containing chlorine, nitrobenzene or halogen in the room where the heating system is installed, if
combustion air is drawn directly from the room. Be particularly cautious around swimming pools and
chemicals.
Do not hang out washing in the boiler room.
Prevent dust from collecting at the combustion air intake to the pellet boiler.
4. System damage due to frost and humidity
The temperature in the installation room must not drop below 38°F and must not exceed +86°F. The rela-
tive humidity in the installation room must not exceed 70%.
5. Danger for animals
Prevent pets and other small animals getting into the installation room. Install grilles over all openings.
6. Flooding
In the event of a flooding risk, switch off the pellet boiler and disconnect it from the main power supply
