A) STARTING UP OF THE BOILER A1) Check the hardness of the water : max 0.5 °F. A2) Open drain valve 15. A3) Shut off the delivery valve 13. A4) Switch on the main switch on the electrical panel. A5) Switch on the pump switch on “MANUALE”. Wait the water flows by the drain valve.
FAULTS AND REMEDIES FLOW SWITCH BLOCK The burner goes out. The flow switch block lamp lights up on the control panel. This means lack of water. Check the water level in the service tank. STEAM BLOCK The burner goes out and steam temperature thermometer pointer exceeds 200°C.
BOILER HOUSE A boiler house is generally made up of the following equipment: 1 - The steam boiler itself, complete with burner. 2 - Water conditioning plant, generally composed of a water softener with change of bases and possibly a mattering unit for conditioning products. 3 - Purified water and condensate collecting tank, having a capacity at least one and half times the hourly steam output of the generator.
BOILER CONNECTION WATER CONNECTION The hard water reaches the conditioning plant. This must be surrounded by dividing wall; the floor should possibly be made in “gres”; independent drain for backwashing the conditioner. When the softened water leaves the conditioner it must then be forwarded to the purified water and condensate collecting tank.

FUEL CONNECTION (see also burner instruction book) These may be three types: a - pipings for light oil (gas oil); b - pipings for heavy oil (fuel oil); c - pipings for gas. Gas oil pipings The pipings conveying oil from the tank to the pump and viceversa, must be made with welded fittings for iron pipings and biconical fittings for copper ones.
WARNING It is recommended to purge all the piping which have to be connected to the boiler to ensure that they do not contain any foreign bodies such as fragments of gaskets, welding slag or anything else which might damage the generator equipment before finally connecting it to the boiler! ELECTRIC PANEL The control switches with relevant pilot lamps are installed on this panel.
