2 .2 Reconditioning old central heating systems If a boiler has to be replaced, do not refill the entire central heating circuit if the quality of water in it conforms to requi- rements. If the quality of water fails to conform to requirements, either recondition the old water or separate the water circuits (water in the boiler circuit must conform to requirements).

OUTSIDE SENSOR CONNECTIONS Correct positioning of the outside sensor is essential to proper indoor temperature control. The sensor must be installed outside the building to be heated, about 2/3 of the way up a NORTH or NORTH-WEST facing wall, well clear of any flues, doors, windows and out of direct sunlight. Fixing the outside sensor to the wall - Unscrew the cover from the sensor casing to access the terminal block and the fixing holes.

FUEL CONNECTIONS THC V E OIL BLU boilers have their fuel connections at the rear. Fuel supply hoses must pass through the gap between the boiler base and the floor before being connected to the fuel pump. If the fuel oil feed system is in negative pressure, the return line must reach the same height as the suction line.
Use of heat resistant, condensate resistant and stress resistant rigid pipe and sealed joints is mandatory. THERMITAL THC V E OIL BLU boilers can be installed as "sealed" boilers with the addition of the relevant acces- sory kit.
Page 43
These length must be reduced by 3 metres for every 90° curve and by 1.5 metres for every 45° curve. All flue seals must be made from condensate (acid) resistant materials. THERMITAL THC V E OIL BLU boilers can also be installed in B23 open configurations using suitable piping in compliance with applicable laws and stan- dards.
FILLING AND EMPTYING THE SYSTEM THC V E OIL BLU boilers require a filling pipe connect- ed to the central heating circuit return pipe. See Appendix II for further information on water tre- atment for the central heating system. FILLING THE CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM - Make sure that the boiler’s drain cock (1) is closed before you start filling the system.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE EMPTYING Switch the electricity supply OFF at the system’s main switch and at the control panel before starting to empty O F F the boiler or storage cylinder. EMPTYING THE CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM - Open any non-return valves in the CH circuit to facilitate emptying.
INITIAL START-UP Once you have completed all the checks listed above, proceed as follows to start up the boiler for the first time. - Switch the electricity supply ON at the system’s main switch and at the control panel. Check that the display comes on. O F F - When the boiler is first powered on, it performs a num- ber of self-tests.
CHECKS DURING AND AFTER INITIAL START-UP Once the boiler has started up, make sure that it shuts down and re-starts properly too. Proceed as follows: - Switch the control panel OFF. - Press button (5) to switch from "Automatic" (s) mode to "Protection"...
TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN If you are going to be away for a short period of time like a weekend or a short holiday, etc. proceed as follows. - Press the central heating mode button (5) to select "Protection" mode (b). Power to the boiler remains switched on, and the dis- Boiler temperature play remains active.
MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance may be a legal requirement. In Italy it is required by Presidential Decree 412 of the 26th August 1993. It is also essential for the safety, efficiency and durability of the boiler. Proper maintenance keeps consumption and emissions down, and ensures that the boiler continues to operate reliably over time.

REMOVING THE BURNER Proceed as follows to remove the burner. - Close the fuel shut-off cocks. - Disconnect the connector (1). - Disconnect the connector (2) from the burner controller. - Disconnect the air inlet pipe (3). - Unscrew the fixing screws (7) and remove the cover (8) from the burner body.
Page 52
Reverse the above steps to reassemble. If the burner needs to be completely removed from the boiler, disconnect the hoses (5) first. Use a suita- ble rag to soak up the fuel that inevitably comes out. REPLACING THE NOZZLE Proceed as follows to replace the nozzle. - Unscrew the fixing nut from the flange and remove the burner.
Page 53
- Fit the flame tube (4) as shown in the figure alongside. REPLACING THE COMBUSTION HEAD AND ELECTRODES Proceed as follows to access the combustion head and electrodes. - Unscrew the fixing nut from the flange and remove the burner. - Turn it around, hook it over the flange (1) and loosen the screws (2).

PRE-HEATING FUNCTION The burner controller has a fuel oil pre-heating function. In the pre-heating phase, the burner waits for the startup ther- mostat, located at the nozzle holder, to close. If the thermostat has not closed after 600 seconds, the burner controller locks out. If the flame goes out during normal functioning, the controller checks whether the pre-heating startup contacts are closed of not.
Page 60
INTERNAL VOLTAGE ERROR The burner controller automatically checks that internal voltage is correct. An error is indicated by the LED flashing. - If an error is detected during initialisation, make sure that it is transient and that the burner starts up. - If an error is detected after a lockout, the burner will not start up.

DISASSEMBLING AND CLEANING THE BOILER Perform the following operations before beginning any maintenance or cleaning. - Switch the electricity supply OFF at the system’s main switch and at the control panel. O F F EXTERNAL CLEANING Clean the boiler’s casing panels and control panel with a soft cloth damped in soapy water.
Page 63
Cleaning the boiler body - Release the clips (10) and remove the cover (11) from the flue gas box. - Remove the turbulators (12) and check them for wear. Replace as necessary. - Use a flue brush or other suitable tool to clean inside the flue gas pipes.
Page 64
Cleaning the secondary heat exchanger Remove the flue then proceed as follows. - Unscrew the screws (1) and remove the top cover (2). - Remove the turbulators (3) and check them for wear. Replace as necessary. - Use a flue brush or other suitable tool to clean inside the flue gas pipes.
TROUBLESHOOTING The first time the boiler is started up and the first time it restarts after a burner lockout or temperature lockout, the burner performs fuel preheating for about 2 and a half minutes. On subsequent startups the motor starts as soon as the boiler controller requests heat.
