The Operation and Technical Documentation is one of the product parts delivered with the purchased central heating boiler. The Operation and Technical Manual includes data concerning the construction and assembly as well as the way of using the SEMAX OPTI boilers. Careful reading of the manual content ensures correct and safe operation of our boiler.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Application (User | Installer) The boiler is designed to supply heat to central heating systems (radiators and floor standing) and to obtain hot utility water. The boiler should operate at full nominal output in a system with a buffer to store excess heat. An example scheme of a boiler with a buffer is given in Fig.
Operating instructions and guarantee card for the exhaust fan pcs. NOTE! The user should carefully read the operating instructions of the controller and the fan. NOTE! METAL-FACH reserves the right to introduce changes to the technical parameters, equipment and specifications of the offered goods without prior notice.

METAL-FACH Heating Technology Technical data of the boiler (User | Installer) Boiler model Parameters S.I. Unit. SE MAX OPTI 20 SE MAX OPTI 30 SE MAX OPTI 40 Nominal heat output [kW]. Heating surface [m2] Water capacity Maximum operating pressure [bar].
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Safety automation and control (User | Installer) 1. Boiler automatics enables setting: ● boiler temperature; ● the hot water temperature; ● temperature in the central heating system; ● operation of auxiliary pumps; ● manual fan control. 2. Thermal sensor Mechanical STB protection is located in the controller and protects the heating system from overheating.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Requirements for the boiler house and boiler installation (User | Installer) In Poland, boiler houses built for solid fuel should meet the requirements of the PN-87/B-02411 standard "Boiler houses built for solid fuel" and OJ. 2015.0.1422 These are divided into two types: 1.

METAL-FACH Heating Technology mechanical ventilation, activated periodically during fuel filling and slagging of boilers, ensuring a minimum of 10 full air changes per hour; ● natural lighting shall be provided in the boiler room, illuminating the boiler from the front, and the window area shall be a minimum of 1/15 of the boiler room floor area;...
Page 16
METAL-FACH Heating Technology NOTE! Mechanical exhaust ventilation should not be used in the boiler room. NOTE! Ensuring a sufficient supply of fresh air into the boiler room will enable efficient combustion of the fuel. NOTE! Excessive carbon dioxide in the room should be prevented.
Boiler installation (User | Installer) An important element of installation is the correct positioning and levelling of the SEMAX OPTI type boiler, these boilers do not require special foundations. Boiler leveling is facilitated by adjustable feet. The boiler must stand vertically.
Page 18
METAL-FACH Heating Technology The boiler should be placed on a heat insulating non-flammable base, which on each side of the boiler should be larger than the base of the boiler by 2 cm. If the boiler is located in a cellar, it is recommended that it is placed on a foundation of at least 5 cm.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Connection of the boiler to the heating system (Installer) Boiler connection to the central heating system should be performed by a firm authorized by the manufacturer and the fact of a proper connection should be confirmed on a guarantee card attached to this manual. Boiler should be connected according to producer recommendations, in accordance with this manual.

METAL-FACH Heating Technology Requirements for the expansion vessel (Installer) Each open system heating system should be fitted with an expansion vessel whose function is to take up the increase in volume of the water filling the system and to vent. This vessel should be installed at the highest point of the system, if possible in a vertical line above the boiler(s).
The first start-up of the boiler must be carried out only by a service technician trained by the manufacturer, with a valid certificate of METAL-FACH Authorized Service Provider, METAL-FACH Distributor or a person holding a SEP license up to 1,5 kW. NOTE! All pumps, mixer, relay, igniter etc.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Chimney selection In most cases an approximate method or selection according to chimney manufacturer's diagrams is sufficient for determining the chimney. In special cases (unfavourable pressure and temperature relations, large flue gas volume) chimneys are calculated according to the binding norm. Low outlet flue gas temperature at nominal boiler output can cause emission of damp flue gases, soot deposition, insufficient chimney draught.

METAL-FACH Heating Technology SEMAX OPTI boiler is a bottom combustion boiler, i.e. the flue gas outlet from the feeding chamber is located in the lower part by the grate itself. The smoke flap located in the upper part of the boiler; serves only for smoke removal from the chamber when refilling the fuel during the boiler operation and can never be used as a convection channel during burning.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology When using the boiler, remember (User) ● The boiler may only be operated by adults who have read the operating instructions; ● It is forbidden for children to be near the boiler without the presence of an adult;...
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Cleaning and maintenance of the boiler (User) NOTE! The boiler may only be cleaned when the appliance is switched off from the mains. It is necessary to keep the combustion chamber and the convection ducts of the boiler clean to save fuel. It is necessary to clean walls and shelves in the combustion chamber through the cleaning and inspection doors.
