STRATA3 2.0 product description (contd) Low Noise The Special burner system employed in the Strata 3 boiler is extremely quiet in operation and in many cases it emits less noise than a gas fired atmospheric boiler of equivalent output. Room sealed option If required the boiler may be completely room sealed, taking combustion air directly from outside the building.
3 is operated on a room air dependent basis in these (or similar) conditions, faults may arise. In this case, no guarantee claim will be accepted. The boiler room must be dry and frost free. boiler plant room Dimensions & Clearances mm Strata 3 220 & 330 1000 1755 Above Boiler Model 220 Above Boiler Model 330 Fig 4.2a...
STRATA3 4.3 flue systems 4.3 flue systems Strata 3 boilers are fully condensing, fully modulating appliances and it is recommended that each boiler is flued independently, however, it is possible to connect multiple boiler flues together providing no part of the common flue pipe is horizontal.
STRATA3 4.5 hydraulic system design The Strata 3 boilers are designed to operate on a flow to return temperature drop of 20K (∆t 20°C). Systems must be sealed and pressurised and operate within the range 0.5 bar to 5.3 bar. The system design should incorporate a pressure gauge, visible from the filling point to indicate the system water pressure.
The boiler is delivered in a fully paletted crate containing the boiler and associated fittings, plus any other optional ancillary control components in separate cartons. The boiler crate contains: Strata 3 220/330 boiler. Assembly, commissioning and maintenance manual. External temperature sensor with screws and plugs.
See section 4.5 for water treatment product stockists. The central heating flow and return connections are flanged fittings – DN40 PN6 for the Strata 3 220 and DN50 PN6 for the Strata 3 330. The flow and return connections are located at the upper rear of the appliance.
STRATA3 5.6 condensate waste connections The condensate waste connection is located at the lower rear of the appliance. During the operation of the Strata 3 boiler, because of the low exhaust gas temperatures in both the heating boiler itself and in the exhaust gas system, a slightly acidic condensation water (pH value between 3.5 and 5) is deposited.
STRATA3 5.7.2 fuses (contd) Fuses 1 and 2 protect the power supply phase and neutral. Fuse 3 protects the entire 24V AC circuit. The 24V AC power supply is rectified in the boiler control panel and controls the fan and supplies the room unit(s) with voltage.

Before commissioning the appliance, the whole gas installation including the meter MUST be purged and tested for gas soundness in accordance with IGE/UP/1.
STRATA3 6.2 appliance operation The start of operation of the Strata 3 heating boiler should commence only after the following points have been checked: Flue system Check that the flue system is correctly assembled. Ensure that the connections for the condensate drain are water tight and the condensate can be freely drained.

STRATA3 6.3 initial lighting/commissioning (contd) Turn on the appliance ON/OFF switch The Strata 3 begins with a two minute de-aeration program. After this 2 minute program the appliance will start. If the Strata 3 does not start up and the message IGNITION FAILED is flashing on the status indicator on the display panel, press the red re-set button to allow up to four further automatic ignition attempts.
The nominal heat output for the boiler can be limited if required to any value between 42kW and 210kW for the Strata 3 220 and between 63kW and 316kW for the Strata 3 330. The maximum output continues to be available for domestic hot water production.
