Rendamax boilers should only be used in the manner and purpose for wich they were intended, and in accordance with the recommendations detailed in this manual. Our heaters have been designed, produced and inspected with safety in mind, but there are certain basic precautions, wich should be taken by the user and, in particular attention is drawn to the safety precautions in this manual and to the operating instructions on the heater.

Draught diverter The R2000 is fi tted with a draught diverter. It is possible to connect the flue outlet connection on the top cover with a standard flue pipe. The inside of the draught diverter is made of aluminium. The galvanized plate mantle is easily removed without the use of any special tools. Fig.
Page 12
Heat exchanger The heat exchanger (type 2-pass) is mounted on the chassis. To ensure proper heat transfer of the combustion gases, the copper fin tubes are arranged side by side and expanded laterally into a mounting plate. The baffles on the copper fin tubes optimize the efficiency of the heat exchanger. The supply and return pipes, together with the water manifolds, form the heat exchanger.
Page 13
Combustion air damper A combustion air damper is situated underneath the burners. Fig. 7 Combustion air damper Gas train The principal components of the gas train are main governor and two main gas valves or combined main governor and main gas valve. The quantity of gas is adjusted in proportion of the quantity of air being supplied by the air damper opening.

2.4 Boiler protection The R2000 is protected by the following systems: Water flow switch The water flow switch is installed in the flow manifold and monitors continuously the water flow. If the water flow falls below a preset level, the burner is shut down and go to lock-out. The water flow switch is factory set and should not be adjusted.
Page 18
Maintenance Work on the electrical installation should only be carried out by approved technicians and in accordance with the electro technic regulations. Work on the gas and hydraulic systems should only be carried out by approved technicians and in accordance with the safety regulations for gas installations. Keep unauthorized people away from the installation.
4 Delivery and transport 4.1 Delivery Before delivery, the R2000 boiler is fully assembled and tested in the factory. The R2000 is mounted on a pallet and covered in a “heat-shrink” protective wrapper. Check for damage after removing the boiler’s protective covering. Check whether the boiler conforms to the order requirements.
The main gas service cock and gas filter should be supplied by a qualified heating engineer. Install the main gas service cock and the gas filter as close to the boiler as possible. The R2000 series of boilers are suitable for connection to a 25 mbar gas network. DOC2012/2000en...
Page 21
The minimum supply pressure must never fall below 18 mbar. With a lower gas pressure it is possible that the boiler will not run at 100% capacity. At the same time the boiler can be more prone failures. Adjust the burner pressure with a supply pressure of 20 mbar before the boiler. 5.2.2 Electrical supply The product has to be installed by a recognized installer fully according to the current national and...

5.3 Water quality Corrosive elements in certain additives can attack the system, resulting in leakage; deposits of undesirable sediments can lead to damage to the boiler heat exchanger. For water hardness, a distinction must be made between: Temporary hardness This is also referred to as carbonate hardness. Deposits are formed at higher temperatures and are easy to remove.
Page 24
5.4 Hydraulic system System pressure By system pressure we mean the water pressure measured at the heat exchanger in cold condition. With a correctly sized expansion system the system pressure will not change much under variable temperature conditions. 5.4.1 Flow and resistance The next figure shows an example of a hydraulic system.

Positioning the pump and expansion vessel We advise that the pump should be mounted in the return pipe in the following order: expansion vessel, pump, boiler. If you mount the pump in the flow pipe, the lifespan of the pump will be reduced. Always connect the expansion vessel to the suction side of the boiler pump.

d) Connect a pressure gauge to the main burner manifold, test point 10/4 and re-connect the electrical connections from the main safety shut off valves into the front electrical panel. Switch the on/off switch to on and the boiler will ignite in the sequence described in a) above with the main burners igniting from the pilot burner at minimum rate.
6.4 Instructions to user Upon satisfactory completion of commissioning hand the Technical documentation to the person responsible for the plant and explain the method of safe operation. Ensure that he/she is fully conversant with the starting, shut down, general operation and emergency shut down procedures. Explain the operation of the overheat control, by pressing button in right hand upper side panel, but stress that in case of repeated overheating of the boiler that the fault should be corrected by a competent person.

8 Maintenance 8.1 Safety Always wear the proper protective clothing and shoes when servicing the boiler. Wearing jewelry and loose clothing can contribute to unsafe situations. 8.2 General information In order to keep the R2000 in a safe working condition, the boiler should be inspected and serviced at least once every year and cleaned if necessary.
Page 43
8.4 Cleaning Before using chemicals and cleaning agents in the boiler, please contact your supplier for advise. Always read the instructions on the bottle of the cleaning agents before using them. Heat exchanger (external cleaning) Remove the baffles before cleaning the heat exchanger. Use compressed air when the heat exchanger is lightly soiled Use a stiff brush and soap when the heat exchanger is very dirty, do not allow the refractory brick-work to get wet.
Page 44
Procedure Release the fixings securing the gas train cover at the front of the boiler and remove carefully in the upward direction. Disconnect all the plugs from the front electrical panel and release the quick clamps at either side of the burner trolley. The burner trolley can now be withdrawn from underneath the boiler. Release the fixing screw at the top of the right hand upper side panel covering the electrical controls.
Page 45
Remove the down draught diverter by releasing two screws in either side and remove the fl ueway baffles from the top of the heat exchanger. Inspect the heat exchanger for deposits and clean if necessary, check condition of the copper fin tubes and fins and replace flueway baffl es. Check the condition of the boiler for any possible corrosion damage.
Page 46
Fig. 26 Electrodes Check that the modulating combustion air/gas control linkages are in good working order and that there is no play in the gas control spindle. Replace the various panels on the top of the boiler including the down draught diverter, replace the burner trolley and clamp into position.
Page 47
8.6 Component replacement Electrodes Remove the burner trolley as described earlier. Remove the insulation covered stainless steel channels and each burner as described at burner bars. Remove the air guide assembly(s) which are located under the burner bars and ensure the spark electrode is disconnected from the ignition generator. Remove the burner assembly frame complete from its location in the burner trolley.
Page 48
Ignition generator Release the two fixings securing the top of the gas train cover at the front of the boiler and remove carefully in upward direction. Disconnect all of the plugs from the front electrical panel and remove the cover of the electrical panel by releasing two screws at each end.

Inspection of the headers and the fin-tube mounting plate mating surfaces Inspect the mating surfaces of the water header, flow/return manifolds and the fin-tube mounting plate. These should be clean, smooth and undamaged. O-ring replacement Fit new O-rings to all finned-tubes (article No. ARO020). Fitting and retensioning the water heater and flow/return manifold This is a reversal of the removal procedure.
