Completion and Commissioning Testing - Electrical Checks to ensure electrical safety should be carried out by a competent person. In the event of an electrical fault after installation of the system, preliminary electrical system checks as below should be carried out. 1.
Page 32
Completion and Commissioning Testing - Gas With the boiler on proceed as follows: Test for gas soundness around the boiler gas components using a suitable leak detection fluid, in accordance with the current issue of BS6891. Check the main burner gas pressure at least 10 minutes after the burner has lit, refer to Data Label.
Page 33
Completion and Commissioning Heating System Check that all remote controls are working as required. Allow the system to reach maximum working temperature and examine for water leaks. The boiler should then be turned off and the system drained off as rapidly as possible whilst still hot.

Page 44
Fault Finding Before detailed checking of electrical components ensure that remote controls are calling for heat. Check the gas supply is free of obstructions and purged of air. Check the overheat cutoff has not operated. Isolate the electrical supply and physically check ALL cables, connections and the printed circuit board fuse.
Page 45
Fault Finding Pump overrun Operation The Control Thermostat has a pump overrun facility built into it, when the Control Thermostat is set at maximum only, the pump overrun will keep the pump running to allow the boiler to cool down after which it will stop, providing the remote controls are NOT calling for heat.
