Checklist To be completed by installation engineer: Boiler installed according to these instructions. Chimney tested for leaks and approved for wood firing, and meets the requirements of the boiler. Installed so that the fan and boiler can be easily cleaned. ...
Accumulator tank To achieve the best combustion and efficiency, and Vedolux 350, 450 and 650 to meet the environmental requirements for wood • are wood-fired boilers with a suction fan, designed firing, the boiler must be fired in combination with for heating properties.
Safety and handling • Read these instructions carefully before • Never place any combustible material on installation and ignition. the boiler or flue pipe. Keep the instructions close to the boiler. • Risk of crushing! Never touch the lambda dampers when the boiler is switched on. •...
Operation Combustion control Restart after power cut The combustion in Vedolux boilers is set automatically When the power returns, the secondary air damper via the O value for optimum combustion is opened fully for 30 seconds so that the chimney is ventilated.
Installation • The boiler must be connected to an open or closed expansion system. Installation must take place according to existing regulations and standards. • The boiler must be connected to an accumulator system. The boiler shall • The boiler must be placed indoors in be operated at nominal output and a boiler room designed to meet the charge the accumulator.

Pipe installation The opening pressure of the safety valve is determined by the component in the system that tolerates the lowest pressure. A closed expansion tank is best connected in the manner shown in the system in principle. Thermal valve A thermal valve, STW, must be connected to the boiler’s cooling coil.

Control panel Flue gas temperature [°F] ###.# − This is how the control panel works: All settings are set on the panel. It also displays information on temperature and operation. Get into the habit of always paying attention to what the display shows in connection with all activities relating to the boiler.
Aggregate test See ‘Menu system’ for procedure. Press at the same time to end the test. The test is available only when the boiler is not in operation. There must be no fire or embers in the boiler when calibrating the O probe.
Starting the boiler Before firing the boiler for the first time: Turbulators - All safety requirements must have been The boiler is supplied with turbulators. Their task is met. to make the flue gases turbulate to extract more heat from the flue gases and thus increase efficiency. - An electrician must have confirmed that the boiler is safe and operating properly.
Firing - Operation After installation, check with the installation adding wood to avoid dropping wood on the damper motors. engineer that the system is in perfect Use 19,7 in. wood of a size that allows three pieces condition. to fit side by side. Lay the pieces of wood parallel Ask the installation engineer to demonstrate to each other in the combustion chamber.
Firing - Operation Starting firing Heating-up ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌ The boiler must only be fired or filled when heating requirements and the temperature of the accumulator permit. The growing bar shows the difference between Preferably only add wood when the boiler is switched the flue gas and boiler temperatures, TAD.
Firing - Operation Filling when the boiler is in Safety functions operation When the boiler has not been fired for seven days, the flue gas fan starts and is in operation for two Press minutes to ventilate the boiler so that it is kept dry. The wood must be added fast and the wood filling At the same time, the charging pump is activated for hatch must then be closed immediately.
Handling wood Wood The effects of firing with damp wood are poorer Hardwood generally has a higher energy content than combustion and dirtier emissions, which in turn softwood. result in lower efficiency. The wood must be dry and have a moisture content This heater is designed to burn natural wood only.

Maintenance Action in the event of a risk of freezing When it is extremely cold, no part of the heating system must be switched off as there is a risk of bursting. Never fire if you suspect that any part of the heating system may be frozen.

Information - Current operating status Lambda value = excess oxygen value, a measure of how Lambda efficient the combustion is. for wood being 20.3%. Lambda = Based on CO 2max 2max Lambda value for good combustion: 1.5 - 1.7. Current combustion efficiency (not to be confused with boiler Efficiency efficiency).
Aggregate test The test is available only when the boiler is not in The O probe is calibrated automatically when the operation. boiler has not been fired for 48 hours and the probe has been in operation for more than 200 hours since When the test is carried out, there must not be any the previous calibration.

Settings Settings must only be set by a person with Before the boiler is started for the first time, the knowledge about the functions. requirements for testing or operation must be met. The following settings must also be set. After these settings have been set, an aggregate test and a safety test must be carried out.
Warnings and alarms The emergency program is intended only for short-term operation. Longer operation can damage the system. The fault must be remedied as soon as possible. The max. temperature thermal relay has been tripped - no operation possible. indication: STB triggered Reset! Cause:...
Warnings and alarms Over temperature - no correct operation possible. indication: Flashing. Over temp. - Boiler in operation, boiler temperature ≥ 194°F. Cause: DO NOT OPEN! - Too much wood or fault in the charging pump or accumulator control. alternating display Add a smaller quantity of wood or remedy another fault.
Troubleshooting The boiler burns Damp wood. A ceramic boiler requires a high combustion temperature. To achieve this, the wood must be dry with a moisture poorly. content of 16 ±8%. The wood is not adapted Its length should be 19.7 in. Its thickness should be such to the boiler.
Summary - faults, functions and control measures Power cut. Return to the operating status that existed before the power cut when the power returns. ≥ 194°F: the fan is switched off. Over temperature in the boiler. ≤ 192°F: the fan starts. Incorrect measured value for boiler The fan and charging pump are switched off.
