BLUEHELIX TECH RRT 18S / 24S / 30S 1. Operating instructions 1.1 Introduction Dear Customer, BLUEHELIX TECH RRT S is a high-efficiency, low emissions premix condensing heat generator with a stainless steel heat exchanger, using natural gas or LPG and equipped with a microprocessor control system. The sealed chamber unit is designed for indoor installation with temperatures as low as -5°C (-15°C with optional anti- freeze kit).
BLUEHELIX TECH RRT 18S / 24S / 30S 1.3 Connection to the power supply, switching on and off Boiler not electrically powered To avoid damage caused by freezing during long idle periods in winter, it is advisable to install an external frost protection kit & en- sure the Gas, water &...
BLUEHELIX TECH RRT 18S / 24S / 30S When the boiler is turned off, the printed circuit board is still powered. Domestic hot water and heating are disabled. The frost protection system remains activat- ed. To operate the boiler normally, press the winter/ summer/off button (detail 7 - fig.
BLUEHELIX TECH RRT 18S / 24S / 30S 2. Installation 2.1 General Instructions This unit must only be used for its intended purpose. This unit is designed to heat water to a temperature below boiling point and must be connected to a heating system and/or a water supply system for domestic use, com- patible with its performance, characteristics and heating capacity.
BLUEHELIX TECH RRT 18S / 24S / 30S 2.2 Place of installation The combustion circuit is sealed with respect to the place of installation and therefore the unit can be in- stalled in any room. However, the place of installation must be sufficiently ventilated to prevent the creation of dangerous conditions in case of even slight gas leaks.

BLUEHELIX TECH RRT 18S / 24S / 30S The maximum domestic water pressure for the inlet supply is 9 bar (130 P.S.I.). If the cold mains supply exceeds 5 bar (72 P.S.I.), a water governor or pressure reducing valve must be fitted by the installer into the mains supply in an incon- spicuous but accessible position preferably between 3 and 5 metres (10-16ft) before the appliance.

BLUEHELIX TECH RRT 18S / 24S / 30S 2.7 Condensate drain connection IMPORTANT The boiler has an internal trap for draining condensate. Install the push on hose “B” & sediment bowl before commis- sioning, the boiler fill the trap with approx. 0.5 L of water and connect the hose to a solvent welded waste system. For safety reasons the hose must form a tight seal into the waste system.
Page 19
BLUEHELIX TECH RRT 18S / 24S / 30S Condensate drain (Please follow BS 6798 or Industry Guidance for Installers on Condensate pipe Installation) The condensate should be run inside as far as is practicably possible. For that purpose, use a pipe of at least 22 mm diameter and a trap with flexible connection supplied with the unit to facilitate connection of the condensate drain pipe.
