Thank you for selecting a CAHA Midi Boiler. This product is the result of extensive research and experience in heating system design. This manual is an integral part of the product and should be retained. Please read it carefully, as it provides important information regarding the installation and maintenance of the product.
STARTING THE BOILER Please ask your installer how to start the boiler. Depending on how your heating system is controlled, this could be via an external timeclock, thermostat, switch or otherwise. Once the boiler volt-free enable contacts are closed, the boiler will commence its starting sequence.

OPERATION The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Children, even if being supervised, must not play with the appliance. In the case of failure or malfunction of the appliance, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Please contact your installer. Repairs must only be carried out by qualified technicians.
4.2.2.2 0-10V DC SETPOINT A value between 2 and 10V DC generates a CH setpoint demand proportional to this value between CH minimum flow tem- perature and maximum CH flow temperature. The heat demand is removed when the control signal falls below 1 volt. The minimum and maximum CH flow temperature can be set in the technician menu, advanced CH settings, CH tempera- tures.
4.2.5 SLOW START The boiler uses the “slow start” procedure to prevent the boiler from supplying excessive power in low load situations. After “zero check” APS and closure APS with pre purge ignition starts. Following, a stabilization period, the boiler modulates down to low capacity and maintains this capacity for 1 minute.
DOMESTIC HOT WATER (DHW) 4.3.1 EXTERNAL STORAGE TANK WITH THERMOSTAT (ELECTRIC 3-WAY VALVE) As standard the DHW configuration is factory pre-set for an external storage tank + tank thermostat. For hydraulic connection of an external storage tank to the boiler via an electric 3 way valve one should either use : - the default configuration 2 pumps: 230 VAC DHW pump (terminal strip C1: 12,13,14) and CH pump (terminal strip C1: 15,16,17) - an electric 3-way valve with a maximum travel time of 255 sec.

MANUAL CHIMNEY SWEEP MODE For routine maintenance and/or service purposes a CH request can be generated to force the burner to a specific load from minimum to nominal (0-100%). This is only possible if no error condition is present. The chimney sweep function can be started from the user menu and will be active for 15 minutes.While active it is possible to navigate through other menus to check the boiler status and functionality.

INSTALLATION INSTALLING THE BOILER The installation must be done in accordance with all local and national codes, regulations and standards, and in accor- dance with the directives of all relevant authorities. 1. The boiler must only be installed in an area where it is allowed to install it. Make sure that this area is protected against the danger of freezing.
WATER CONNECTION 6.3.1 PUMP The boiler does not have a built in CH-pump. Therefore a CH-pump must be mounted separately . Select a pump that matches the hydraulic resistance of the boiler and the installation. The graph below shows the resistance characteristics for the different boiler models For electrical connections see chapter 6.7.
▪ There are many products available on the market which pretend to clean and protect heating systems. Unfortunately there are only a few that have really proven this in practice.Therefore RVR Energy Technology only allows the following quality products for water treatment ;...
A vertical terminal is recommended Roof terminals and extensions and/or condensate trap/collector must be approved by RVR Energy Technology. See page For pressure drop calculation of appliance type B23 use the table for pressure drop per component and the table for total pressure drop calculation.
6.5.3 C63 C63 appliances may only be equipped with Gastec QA materials and terminals or according NEN 14989-2 Note: When using a C63 type flue configuration it is essential to ensure that C63 is allowed in the country were the boiler is installed. It is recommended to use a full aluminium flue system.
6.5.4 PRESSURE DROP CALCULATIONS The first 90 ° bend must be mounted directly to the boiler and followed by the chimney silencer (this bend is not part of the calculation (as it is already taken into account)). Flue-outlet and air-supply calculations: Total pressure drop available for flue-outlet and air-supply is given in the table below.
Page 32
- Column 9: total pressure drop flue gas and air: column 6 + 7 + 8 - Finally add all together column 9 Total pressure drop must be lower than 250 Pa (CAHA Midi 340 and CAHA Midi 425) or 300 Pa (CAHA Midi 510 and CAHA Midi 600).

ERRORS GENERAL If there is no data visible on the display, the fuse (10,0 A Slow blow) in the control panel ,near the main switch, should be checked (as well as the position of the on/off switch) and should if required be replaced (after the cause for break down has been determined and rectified).
DHW ERRORS Boiler does not respond to DHW heat request - Check the storage tank-NTC or thermostat and its wiring (also see electrical wiring diagram). - Check if DHW is enabled using the control panel Insufficient DHW flow - Dirty filters in taps. - Insufficient water pressure.

ANNUAL SERVICE Maintenance should only be done by a qualified installer or technician. The following maintenance routine should be done annually (see also 9.1) The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
SERVICE-MAINTENANCE TABLE When commissioning the boiler, it is recommended to measure load, CO2, CO, T flow, T return, P air pressure switch and Psyphon pressure switch and write the values down in the table below. Measure these values when the boiler is in equilibrium at maximum load (also see chapter 5.5). During annual maintenance we advise to measure and write down these values also and compare them to the previous values and analyse any changes.
