7.4.2 GAS VALVE MINIMUM SETTING
Locate and gently turn the HTG trimmer till the
minimum value fan speed (max) is obtained and
check that it corresponds with the appropriate CO
value (Minimum) for the respective appliance. If
the CO reading is correct, rotate the HTG trim-
2
mer until the correct value is obtained for the re-
spective appliance (see fan speed table) and pro-
ceed to 7.4.3. However, if the CO
correct, the minimum gas pressure must be ad-
justed as follows:
• using a suitable screwdriver, very slowly turn the
minimum adjustment screw (see fig. 38) – clock-
wise to increase, counter clockwise to decrease
- until the correct value is displayed on the CO
analyser (allow time for the analyser to stabilise).
7.4.3 COMPLETION
On completion of the combustion analysis check
and/or any gas valve adjustment, set the HTG
trimmer to the corresponding value as detailed in
the fan speed table. Refit the 3-selector knobs and
move the mode selector to the OFF position.
Remove the test probe from the test point and refit
the sealing screw/s and/or cap.
IMPORTANT
A GAS SOUNDNESS CHECK MUST BE CAR-
RIED OUT IF ANY GAS CARRYING COMPO-
NENTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, REPLACED
OR DISTURBED.
7.5

COMBUSTION ANALYSIS TEST

A combustion analysis check can easily be car-
ried out on the appliance via the test points located
on the top of the appliance (see 7.4).
• Insert the flue gas analyser probe into the flue
gas test point (see fig. 35).
• Operate the boiler in CO mode and compare the
values with those shown in section 2 (Nat. Gas)
or section 10 (LPG). If different adjust the gas
valve according to 7.4.1, 7.4.2, & 7.4.3.
7.6

CHECKING THE EXPANSION VESSEL

Carry out the component removal procedure as
described in 6.4. You must ensure that the boiler
is completely drained of water. Using a suitable
pressure gauge, remove dust cap on expansion
vessel and check the charge pressure. The cor-
rect charge pressure should be 1.0 bar ± 0.1 bar.
If the charge pressure is less, use a suitable pump
to increase the charge.
NOTE
You must ensure the drain valve is in the open
position whilst re-charging takes place. Replace
the dust cap and carry out the relevant commis-
sioning procedure (section 5).

EXTERNAL FAULTS

Before carrying out any faultfinding or component
replacement, ensure the fault is not attributable to
any aspect of the installation.

ELECTRICAL CHECKS

Any electrical checks must be carried out by a
suitably qualified person.
EARTH CONTINUITY TEST
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply,
and using a suitable multi-meter carry out a resist-
ance test. Connect test leads between an appli-
ance earth point and the earth wire of the appliance
supply cable. The resistance should be less than
1 OHM. If the resistance is greater than 1 OHM
check all earth wires and connectors for continuity
and integrity.
SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply,
and using a suitable multi-meter, carry out a short
circuit test between the Live & Neutral connec-
tions at the appliance terminal strip (fig.17). Re-
peat above test on the Live & Earth connections
at the appliance terminal strip (fig.16).
NOTE
Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no
fault is indicated, a detailed continuity check will
be required to trace the fault. A visual inspection of
components may also assist in locating the fault.
POLARITY CHECK
With the appliance connected to the electrical
supply and using a suitable multimeter, carry out
the following voltage tests:
• connect test leads between the Live & Neutral
connections at the appliance terminal strip (fig.16).
The meter should read approximately 230V ac.
If so proceed to next stage. If not, see 7.8.4.
• connect test leads between the Live & Earth
connections at the appliance terminal strip (fig.16).
The meter should read approximately 230V ac.
If so proceed to next stage. If not, see 7.8.4.
• connect test leads between the Neutral & Earth
connections at the appliance terminal strip (fig.16).
The meter should read approximately 0 – 15Vac.
If so polarity is correct. If not, see 7.8.4.
REVERSED POLARITY OR SUPPLY FAULT
Repeat the above tests at the appliance isolator,
if testing reveals correct polarity and/or supply at
the isolator, re-check wiring and connections be-
tween the isolator and the appliance. If tests on the
isolator also reveal reversed polarity or a supply
fault, consult the local electricity supplier for
advice.
RESISTANCE TO EARTH CHECK
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, and
using a suitable multi-meter carry out a resistance
test. Connect test leads between the Live & Earth
connections at the appliance terminal strip (fig. 16).
If the meter reads other than infinity there is a fault
that must be isolated, carry out a detailed continuity
check to identify the location of the fault.
