3.4 HYDRAULIC UNIT The arrangement of the hydraulic unit is one of the main factors that allowed to minimize boiler dimensions. All the parts in "contact" with water, such as 3 bar safety valve, low water pressure switch and fill cock unit (see picture below) were all indeed positioned inside circulation pump scroll.
3.4 BI-THERMAL HEAT EXCHANGER Bi-thermal heat exchanger allows reducing consumption as well as waiting times during domestic hot water production, without any need of a plate heat exchanger It consists of two (inner and outer) copper circuits. The first one, oval-shaped, is to be used by the CH system only;...
3.4 EXPANSION VESSEL An increase of the heating water inside a closed circuit corresponds to an increase of the water volume. As no further space is available, it will not be water volume - but pressure - to increase. If pressure value exceeds safety valve triggering point, this latter will open and discharge water from system.

SECT.4 GAS SETTING AND TSP PARAMETERS 4.1 GAS VALVE SETTING To adjust gas valve, proceed as follows: check mains static pressure by means of the inlet pressure measurement point E, referring to the "setting” table on page 8 (pressure values below the specified limits will not ensure boiler correct operation);...
4.2 FLUE CLEANING FUNCTION The boiler features a flue cleaning function which must be used to measure combustion efficiency during operation and to set the burner. This function can be enabled only in the HEATING + DOMESTIC HOT WATER or HEATING ONLY operating modes.
4.4 TSP PARAMETERS PCBs house a memory with a series of parameters (called TSP parameters) to be accessed for displaying purposes only, or to be edited for boiler perfect setting based on the system used. These parameters can be directly accessed from user's interface, or through the remote control.

Page 27
AUTOMATIC FLAME CONTROL. The device is always ON, continuously carrying out the self-check functions. Upon an operation request, after having checked that the air pressure switch (CTFS type) is in rest condition, fan will be powered. When air pressure switch (type C) or flue thermostat (type N) gives the consensus, device starts counting the waiting time TW (1.5 seconds) after which gas valve and igniter will be powered.
Page 28
IGNITION WITH IGNITION RAMPING OR WITH PRE-SET POWER OUTPUT Parameter P2 (default setting: 0) allows selecting boiler ignition mode: P2=0 Ramping ignition Upon every operation request entailing burner ignition, burner will be ignited with a current ramping to modulation coil from a starting value to the final one within 10 seconds.
Page 29
DHW PRIORITY With boiler running in “DHW” or “DHW + CH” mode, DHW flow switch electric contact closing will originate a DHW operation request, thus starting modulation. This request can be delayed through P7 parameter (3 seconds max.) to prevent any water hammer inconvenience.
Page 30
Modulation with P2≠0 During domestic hot water production, flow water temperature is always monitored and, once 90 °C are reached, flame control section consensus will be disabled. As soon as flow water temperature reaches 85 °C, flame control section will be enabled again. Modulation parameter summary: ...
Page 31
AMBIENT THERMOSTAT With the boiler set on the "CH" or "DHW + CH" operating mode, the closing up of ambient thermostat electric contact or the heat request by the remote control will result in a request during heating, thus making heating modulation start. CENTRAL HEATING MODULATION Due to ambient thermostat electric contact closing up, if the flow NTC probe water temperature reading is below the set value, the automatic flame control section consensus...
Page 32
Modulation with P2≠0 Modulation parameter summary: CH temperature pre-selection range: 35 °C - 78 °C CH thermostat triggering temperature OFF: set point + 5 °C CH thermostat triggering temperature ON: set point + 0 °C CH power ramping timer adjustable P4: default setting is 4 minutes...
Page 33
HEAT EXCHANGER BOILING CONTROL When the CH function is enabled only, flow rate value can be automatically edited (decreased) based on the temperature readings of flow and return NTC probes. If the differential value calculated by these probes is higher than the reference ∆t set through P9 parameter (default setting: 30 °C) prevents output complete release with a limited quantity of water inside heat exchanger, thus entailing heat exchanger boiling problems.
Page 34
BOILER FREEZE PROTECTION FUNCTION When flow water temperature reading drops below 5 °C, a freeze protection operation request will be developed, followed by burner turning on. At the end of the ignition sequence, the gas flow rate supplied to burner will be forced to heating min. value. The operation request during the freeze protection phase continues until flow water temperature reaches 30 °C or an operating time of 15' is reached.
Page 35
POST-VENTILATION FUNCTION. Only when boiler is working in "domestic hot water" mode, at the end of a request during DHW function, burner (if ON) will be turned off, while fan will continue to be powered for 1 minute (DHW post-ventilation timer). A second ventilation phase will be started as soon as flow water temperature or DHW temperature reaches 83 °C.
Page 36
TEMPERATURE PROBE WHOLENESS CHECK System checks the failure condition of the NTC probes connected to the integrated modulation board. The failure condition occurs when probe is not powered, or when it detects a temperature value outside probe correct operating range. ...
Page 37
SAFETY DEVICES Safety thermostat Safety thermostat positioned onto bi-thermal heat exchanger is a normally closed contact. When the water temperature value detected by thermostat is above 95 °C for CTFS models or above 105 °C for CTN models, contact opens thus cutting off gas valve power supply.
Page 38
Flue gas thermostat Flue thermostat, assembled on natural draught boilers only, is a normally closed contact, and opens when flue temperature reaches 70°C. It is assembled onto a side fin, and it is used to indicate if exhaust flue draught is correct. Gas valve will be powered off when contact is open and, 4 seconds after contact opening, board enters the "flue thermostat"...
