Start-Up; Operating; User Instructions; Filling The Condensate And Neutralizing Box - RBI Infinite Energy2 IW199 Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

14 - START-UP

14.1 - Operating

Before starting the appliance, the
following must be done.

14.1.1 - User instructions

The user must be correctly instructed
by the installer, on how to operate the
appliance, in particular:

Make sure that the user understands
that combustion air and ventilation
openings must not be restricted/
closed/ or modified in any way.

Make sure that the user is informed
of all the special measures to be
taken for combustion air inlet and
discharging flue gases, and that
these must not be modified in any
way.

Make sure that the user keeps this
manual and all other documentation
included with the appliance.

Make sure that the user understands
never to tamper with gas control
settings and the risk of CO poisoning
should an unauthorized individual do
so.

Make sure that the user knows how
to adjust temperatures, controls and
the room thermostats for maximum
efficiency.
14.1.2 - Filling the
condensate and
neutralizing box
The condensate and neutralizing box
is positioned inside the appliance as
shown in Figures 3-3 through 3-9,
item "3". It must be filled with water to
prevent the leakage of flue gases from
the condensate drainpipe, item "5" in
Figures 3-3 through 3-9. To fill and
inspect the condensate box proceed
follow Section 16.6.
WARNING!!!
If appliance
stays off for more than 3
months, repeat the above
operation to again fill the
condensate trap. Failure to
follow this warning could result
in excessive levels of carbon
monoxide, which can result in
severe personal injury or death!
14.1.3 - Filling the heating
system on a AM-B
appliance
WARNING!!!
Never use
non-approved additives or toxic
appliance treatment chemicals
in the heating system as they
can cause serious health
problems or possibly death.
Any additives introduced into
the heating system must be
recognized as safe by the
United States Food and Drug
Administration.
CAUTION!!!
The heating system
must be filled with clean water
and with maximum hardness of
TDS 200 ppm. Contaminated or
harder water can damage the
heat exchanger.
CAUTION!!!
The water's pH must
fall within the following limit:
7.5<pH<9.5 and if the system
contains aluminium parts, it
must be 7.5<pH<8.5. This pH
value must be measured after
steady condition and after air
purging operations has been
done (death water condition).
Water out from the above pH
values can result in premature
heat exchanger damage.
To fill the heating system, proceed as
follows:
1.- Open any automatic air vent in the
heating system;
2.- Open the fill valve and proceed to
fill the heating system and appliance
until the pressure gauge, item "M"
in Figure 15-1, reads the correct
pressure for the heating system
size and "Err 59" disappears from
the display; ("Err 59" displaing is set
at 15PSI. If you want to increase
the "Err 59" intervention level, set
parameter 3022 to the desired value
(See Section 20);
3.- Check that there is no water leaking
from the fittings. If there is, the leaks
must be eliminated;
4.- Close the fill valve;
5.- Check the pressure gauge during
the purging process. If the pressure
88
has dropped, re-open the fill valve
to bring the pressure back to the
desired value.
14.2 - General
warnings concerning
gas supply
When starting up the appliance for the
first time the following must be checked:

That the appliance is supplied with
the type of fuel that it is configured to
use. Read Section 13.

That the gas supply system is
provided with all the safety devices
and controls required under current
national and local codes.

That the vent and combustion air
terminals are properly connected
(see Sections 11 and 12) and free
from any blockages.

That the condensate drain tube is
properly connected (see Section 8).
CAUTION!!!
To avoid corrosion
inside heat exchanger, gas used
should have sulphur rates inside
maximum annual peak over a
short period of time of 150 mg/
m3 and an annual average of 30
mg/m3.
WARNING!!!
If you smell gas:
 Do not try to light any appliance.
 Do not touch any electrical
switch. Do not use any phone in
your building.
 Immediately call your gas
supplier from a neighbor's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.
 If you cannot reach your gas
supplier, call the fire department.
Failure to follow the above steps can
result in a fire or explosion causing
property damage, personal injury or
loss of life!
