Sigma 1. TECHNICAL CARACTERISTICS 1.01 Introduction The Sigma is defined as a “room sealed” boiler, all air required for combustion is taken from outside the room in which it is installed. It is a new high performance gas fired heat generator, which is designed to provide indirect hot water and/or central heating.
Sigma 2. INSTALLATION 2.01 Important notices Assembly, installation, first start up and maintenance must be carried out by competent persons only, in accordance with all current technical regulations and directives. Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1996 In the interest of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance with the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of Practice, current I.E.E.

Sigma 2.01.04 Gas Supply If necessary the local Gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas. An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the Local Gas supplier. A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas supplier, or by a Local Gas suppliers Contractor.

Sigma Important - If thermostatic radiator valves are fitted throughout a bypass must be fitted to ensure a minimum flow rate through the boiler of 6 l/min. The bypass should be fitted as far as possible from the boiler. 2.02.01 Make Up Water Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system.
Sigma 2.02.06 Boiler water characteristics If the water is harder than 18 clarke degrees, the water used should be treated to avoid possible scale in the boiler caused by hard water or corrosion by aggressive water. It should be remembered that as a result of its low thermal conductivity, even scale of just a few millimetres thick can lead to considerable overheating of the boiler walls, resulting in serious problems.

Sigma 3.

Sigma 4. ADJUSTMENT 4.01 Adjusting the gas pressure and heat output The following adjustments must be carried out by qualified personnel only. To adjust boiler heat input simply adjust the burner pressure gas via the pressure regulator on the gas valve (fig. 41). Pressure regulator Adjust the gas pressure at the burner by turning the pressure protection plug...
5. GAS CONVERSION The following adjustment and conversion operations must be carried out by qualified personnel. FERROLI Limited accepts no liability for damage to property or personal injury resulting from tampering with the boiler by unauthorised persons.
Sigma 6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING The following operations must be carried out by Corgi registered engineers only. 6.01 Annual Servicing The following should be checked at least once a year: Water pressure in the central heating system when cold should be about 1 bar.

Sigma 7) If inlet working pressure is ok using the test point on the gas valve marked OUT check the burner pressure. Burner pressures for the required heat output can be obtained from fig. 42a for natural gas and fig. 42b for LPG. The burner pressure is adjusted by the pressure regulating screw on the gas valve see section 4.01 for detail.

Sigma 8. FAULT FINDING Before commencing any fault finding procedure on the boiler, ensure electricity is on to the appliance, the gas supply is turned on, purged and is sound, and the system is full of water. Note: in certain condition the fan and overheat thermostat may have 230 v at their terminals, but the fan will not run. Intermittent problem may be due to the temperature sensor breaking down when under load although the resistance value may be within the stated range.
