16.0 MAINTENANCE 16.1 GENERAL KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND FLAMMABLE VAPOURS AND LIQUIDS. A competent person should check and ensure that the flue, its support and terminal, the ventilation to the boiler house, safety valve, drain, pressure gauge etc. are in a serviceable and working condition and still comply with the relevant standards and codes of practice, as detailed in Section 4: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
16.3 BURNER REMOVAL If it has been determined that the flame picture is unacceptable, the burner can be removed and cleaned using the following procedure: Isolate the electrical and gas supplies to the heater. Allow the boiler to cool down. Disconnect the wiring connections to the ignition electrode.
NOTE: A kit of components to aid with cleaning the heat exchanger is available from Lochinvar Limited. For models CP-M+60 – CP-M+120 use part number KIT30063, for models CP-M+150 & CP-M+180 use part number KIT30064.
16.7 OTHER CHECKS 16.7.1 RELIEF VALVES (IF FITTED) At least once a year, the pressure relief valve should be checked to ensure correct operation. To check the valve, lift the lever or turn the screw cap at the end of the valve several times. The valve should operate freely and seat properly.
16.8 SETTING A REPLACEMENT GAS VALVE When a replacement gas valve is fitted, the following procedure must be carried out in the order stated when the boiler is switched on for the first time. Failure to follow the following procedure may lead to non-warrantable damage to the boiler.
Page 82
Put the boiler into ‘Service Mode’. This is done by depressing the service button for three seconds. If the burner does not light after three attempts, turn screw 2 through ¼ turn counter clockwise. On the CP-M+ 120, CP-M+150 and CP-M+180, this adjustment should be made to the right hand gas valve only.
17.0 TROUBLESHOOTING To avoid electric shocks, disconnect electrical supply before performing troubleshooting. To avoid burns, allow the unit to cool before performing troubleshooting. Be aware that a fault code is an indication that the unit or the system needs attention. When a fault occurs repeatedly remedial work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified person.

Display message e m p u m p Reason: Maximum return temperature exceeds limit value. Cause: An external heat source (CHP, heat pump etc.) has heated the return temperature above the maximum return temperature. Corrective Action: Reduce pre heat temperature of external heat source. Cause: The external heating controls suddenly close causing excessive return water temperature.
Page 85
Bleed all air from the unit so the heat from combustion can be transferred to the water and won't leave through the flue Cause: Heat exchanger failure. Corrective Action: Contact Lochinvar Limited for further guidance. Display message u m p Reason Boiler not operational after 4 starting attempts.
Page 86
Display message a m e u m p Reason Flame signal lost during operation. Cause: Incorrect gas supply pressure. Corrective Action: Be aware that the nominal gas inlet pressure must be met under all operation conditions. Check the incoming gas supply pressure is correct. Contact the gas transported if incorrect. Check if all gas valves in the supply line are completely open.
Page 87
Heat exchanger fuse exceeded maximum value. Cause: The heat exchanger thermal fuse has opened permanently. Corrective Action: Isolate the electrical power and gas supply to the boiler and contact Lochinvar Limited for further guidance. Display message u m p Reason: High-temperature limit thermostat has exceeded the limitation value.
Display message u m p Reason: Siphon pressure switch detects high pressure in the flue/condensate drain system. Cause: There is too much resistance in the flue system causing excessive pressure in the heat exchanger. Corrective Action: Check if the flue system is blocked. Check the condition of the heat exchanger and clean if necessary.

Bleed all air from the unit so the heat from combustion can be transferred to the water and won't leave through the flue Cause: Heat exchanger failure. Corrective Action: Contact Lochinvar Limited for further guidance. Display message Reason The controller received a new heat demand too soon after the last heat demand finished.
Page 90
Display message Reason System water pressure is too high or too low. Cause: The water pressure in the system is too high. Corrective Action: Check if the system pressure is too high after (re)filling. Check the settings of any automatic pressurisation unit attached to the system. Make sure that there is a pressure relief valve and expansion vessel installed in the system, according to the applicable standards.
Display message G e n Reason The general blocking circuit is activated during operation (after a flame was rectified). Cause: The circuit connected to the general blocking terminals is not closed. Corrective Action: Check all external safety devices that are in the circuit connected to the general blocking terminals, and determine why the contact is not closed during heat demand.
