INTRODUCTION This manual has been written for: The installer System design engineers Service engineers End user READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS Read and fully understand all instructions before attempting to operate maintain or install the unit. EGULATIONS It is the law in the UK that a competent person registered with the HSE approved body and in accordance with the Gas Safety regulations installs all Gas appliances.
BBREVIATIONS EFB = Condensing Boiler DHW = For Direct Hot Water (drinking water) usage only. CH = Central Heating (for central heating purposes and/or indirect hot water). BCU = Burner control unit. PEFB = Printed circuit board (burner controller). PB = Pixel button = display board/ control panel. SAFETY GUIDELINES Keep these instructions near the boiler for quick reference.
Do not re-enter the building until it is safe to do so Lochinvar Limited is not liable for any damage caused by inaccurately following these mounting instructions. Only original parts may be used when carrying out any repair or service work.
TECHNICAL DATA EFB BOILERS UNCTIONAL INTRODUCTION EFB boilers are Gas Condensing central heating boilers with a very high efficiency. Such a performance can be reached by, amongst other things, using a special heat exchanger made of stainless steel. This allows the flue gases to cool down below the condensation point, and so release extra heat.
ACCESSORIES AND UNPACKING CCESSORIES Depending on the selected controlling behaviour for the central heating system and/or the optional use of a calorifier, the following items can be supplied with the boiler. Contact Lochinvar for prices and further information. Item Item Number...
A wall or stand to properly support the weight of the boiler. The wall used for mounting the boiler must be able to hold the weight of the boiler. If not, it is recommended to mount the boiler by means of a frame available from Lochinvar.
OILER NSTALLATION OCATION EQUIREMENTS Other considerations related to the boiler location. The ventilation of the boiler room must meet local and national standards and regulations, regardless of the selected supply of fresh air to the boiler. The flue gas pipes must be connected to the outside wall and/or the outside roof. ...
OUNTING THE BOILER Before mounting and installing the boiler the following connections must be considered: Flue gas system and the flue gas pipe connections Power supply (preferably the power connection posi- tioned above the boiler) Air supply system and connections ...
CONNECTIONS OILER CONNECTIONS 1 – Flow (Hot water out) 2 – Return (Cold water in) 3 – Gas 4 – Condensate trap cleaning point 5 – Condensate drain 6 – Automatic air vent. Strain on the gas valve and fittings may result in vibration, premature component failure and leakage and may result in a fire, explosion, property damage or serious injury.
A suitable kit of components is available from Lochinvar. EHS.T0501.100 RESSURE RELIEF VALVE The boiler has no internal pressure relief valve. This must be installed close to the boiler in the flow pipe of the heating system. When having cascaded boilers, each boiler must have its own pressure relief valve.
YPASS The boiler has no internal bypass. When many thermostatic valves are being used, the system must have a bypass to allow an adequate flow when all thermostatic valves are closed. Instead of a bypass also a low-loss header can be used for this function. The boiler flow will also be influenced when a pipe of the heating system is frozen / blocked.
7.12 ATER QUALITY The pH value is reached with steady conditions. These Contaminant Maximum allowable level Units steady conditions will occur, when after filling the heating 7.5 to 9.5 system (pH around 7) with fresh water, the water will lose Total hardness 50 to 150 CaCO...
7.13 HEMICAL WATER TREATMENT The chemical compatibility of several products for treatment of the central heating equipment has been tested on the heat exchangers and the boilers. See below for the list with the corrosion inhibitors in preventative and curative treatment for gas fired central heating boilers. If water treatment is required when filling the system or preforming maintenance an inhibitor must be used.
7.15 LASTIC PIPING IN THE HEATING SYSTEM When plastic pipes with no oxygen barrier are used in the central heating system, these must be separated from the boiler system by using a plate heat exchanger. Diffusion (through the plastic) can cause air to enter the heating system. This could damage the boiler, pumps and other components in the system.

The boiler pump is modulated when there is a demand for CH. During any other demand, the PWM pump will run at a fixed speed set by the Default Duty cycle parameter.
ODULATING PUMP MODES There are several modulating pump modes implemented in the software. By selecting a different modulating pump mode, the pump be- haviour can be changed. The following modulating pump modes are available. Modulating pump mode Details Disabled No pump modulation; the PWM duty cycle is always 0%. Delta temperature modulation Calculated duty cycle to create a delta temperature between the T_Supply and T_Return sensor.
Before installation of any flue system read the installation manual carefully for both the appliance and flue system to be used. Information on the flue system Supplied by Lochinvar can be found within this manual.

The second line will show the Error Description. The bottom line will show the Time Stamp (date and time) when the error was detected (in the format as configured in the Date Time Settings menu), and also the selected error index from the total number of errors in the (filtered) error log.
11.5.3 A PPLIANCE SELECTION The controller is designed to store specific parameter sets of different boiler models. By defining specific setting for different appliance models the same controller can be used for a complete product range. Depending on which model boiler the controller is applied to, it only will be necessary to change just one single parameter. See 17.4 "Conversion from natural gas to propane", part: "Change the appliance type"...
11.6.1 F LAME DETECTION When the boiler is firing, and the flame is not detected anymore, the gas valve will be closed, and the controller will perform a post-purge, after which a restart will take place. When the flame disappears three times within one heat demand, the controller will lockout. The presence of a flame is measured through the flame rod that points into the flame.
11.7 ONTROL FUNCTIONS Dependent on the required functions of the appliance and connected sensors and components, several operation modes for Central Heating (CH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) can be selected. 11.7.1 R ; CH 0 (D OOM THERMOSTAT ONLY MODE EFAULT SETTING For this mode the CH mode must be set to 0 and no outdoor sensor is needed.
11.7.2 CH ; CH WITH AN OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE RESET AND THERMOSTAT MODE If the parameter CH_Mode is set to 1, the “Outdoor temperature reset with room thermostat” mode is selected. This mode will only function when an outdoor temperature sensor is connected. If the outdoor sensor is connected, the boiler automatically uses Reset_Curve_Boiler_Maximum.
Page 74
Setpoint adjustment It is possible to adjust the calculated setpoint with parameter CH_Setpoint_Diff. The calculated setpoint can be increased or decreased with a maximum of 10 ºC (18 °F). The CH setpoint limits (Reset_Curve_Boiler_Minimum and Reset_Curve_Boiler_Maximum) are respected while adjusting the setpoint. Apart from the calculated setpoint the functionality is the same as described in 11.7.1 "Room thermostat only...”...
11.7.3 CH ; CH WITH CONSTANT CIRCULATION SYSTEM OUTDOOR RESET MODE When CH_Mode is set to 2, full weather compensator is chosen. For this mode an outdoor sensor has to be connected. The CH_Setpoint is calculated on the same way as described in 11.7.2 "CH with an outdoor temperature reset and thermostat; CH mode 1" However, the demand does not depend on the Room Thermostat input but on the outdoor temperature and the outdoor reset setpoint.
11.7.5 C ; CH ENTRAL EATING WITH ANALOGUE INPUT CONTROL OF SETPOINT MODE CH mode is set to 4. In this mode of operation, the boiler CH setpoint is controlled by an analogue input signal provided by a remote means such as a Building Management System or a system controller.
11.7.6 CH ; CH WITH ANALOGUE INPUT CONTROL OF POWER OUTPUT MODE In this mode of operation, the boiler power (boiler input) is controlled by an analogue input signal provided by a remote means such as a Building Management System or a system controller. The analogue input 0-10 VDC is used to adjust the boiler power output between the minimum boiler input and the maximum boiler input settings.
11.8 EMAND FOR OMESTIC ATER 11.8.1 N ; DHW OMESTIC ATER MODE No domestic hot water is available. The T_DHW_Out sensor does not need to be connected. 11.8.2 DHW S ; DHW TORAGE WITH SENSOR MODE Mode 1: DHW is prepared by warming up a store. Either a DHW pump or 3-way valve can be used to switch to DHW mode. The DHW temperature in the tank is measured with sensor T_Store and set with parameter DHW_Store_Setpoint.
11.8.3 DHW S ; DHW TORAGE WITH THERMOSTAT MODE In this mode DHW is prepared by warming up an indirect tank. Either a DHW pump or 3-way valve can be used to switch to DHW mode. The temperature of the DHW in the indirect tank is regulated by a thermostat/aquastat (instead of a sensor), which should provide only an open/closed signal to the controller.
11.8.5 A LEGIONELLA PROTECTION Anti-Legionella protection is enabled for DHW modes with an external tank with a sensor (DHW Mode 1) or for the direct fired water heater (DHW Mode 6 & 7) and when DHW is not switched OFF. To prevent legionella a special function is implemented in the software.

12 TEMPERATURE PROTECTION The difference between supply temperature and return temperature is continuously monitored (ΔT). If this becomes too high it can indicate a defective pump or a clogged heat exchanger. To protect the boiler, the burner controller reduces the input when the temperature difference ΔT becomes too high: At maximum boiler input ΔT is limited to 35°C (63 °F) - (Hx_Diff_DeltaT_Min ) In between 35°C (63 °F) and 43 °C (77 °F) boiler input modulates between minimum and maximum.
13 ERROR INFORMATION. Errors can be divided in three groups: •Manual reset locking errors (can only be reset by the reset button). •Blocking errors (will disappear when error is gone) •Warnings (will disappear when the warning is gone, not stored in the controls e2prom) The boiler pump will continue to run during most locking and blocking error codes.

14 CASCADING 14.1 YSTEM SETUP The boiler controller can control multiple boilers in a cascade setup. A system sensor is necessary to measure the cascade system supply temperature. The sensor is connected to the boiler controller. A pump output is also available to run the system pump, as well as an output for the DHW pump. When the CH supply temperature is calculated based on an outdoor sensor, only one outdoor sensor is needed.
14.2.1 S ETTING UP THE CASCADE PARAMETERS Enter the main menu by pushing the menu button, now select settings by toggling the up and down arrow and enter settings by pushing the enter button. Now select Boiler Settings Select the Module Cascade Settings Change burner address into Managing or Dependent.
Setting the boiler address: Address rules The cascade managing address (parameter 184) must be set to ‘Managing’ on the managing boiler. The cascade depending addresses (parameter 184) must be set in a logical numbered order from 1: Dep. 1, Dep. 2 etc.
– D 14.2.4 ASCADE OMESTIC ATER ETTINGS In the installer DHW menu of the managing boiler controller the DHW_Mode must be set. Available DHW modes in cascade are mode 1 = sensor or 2 = aquastat (see 11.8 "Demand for Domestic Hot Water"). Dependent Boiler In case a boiler is set as dependent (parameter 184: "Burner address") the DHW setpoint is always provided by the managing boiler, the internal control of the setpoint functions are disabled.
Page 99
Starting and Stopping Burners With a small difference between T_System and the Cascade_Setpoint the call for a start or stop of respectively the next or last depending burner is executed. • Starting Burners: If T_System is Hyst_Down_Start_Burner degrees below the Cascade_Setpoint the burners are started at intervals of Start_Next_Depending_Delay, for example 200 seconds.
14.2.8 P = 1 (M OWER MODE INIMUM BOILERS ON Power Mode 1 guarantees to have as minimum as possible dependent ON in order to reach the T_System. The modulation of most boilers/burners is forced to 100%, and the last 2 boilers/burners are PID controlled by the setpoint (Cascade_Set- point) from the managing burner in relation to the system temperature (T_System).

When the average burner power of the active depending burners is above a set minimum power, another burner is started Burner start-up The next burner is started under the following conditions: •...
14.3 OILER ROTATION The boiler rotation function can change the start/stop sequence for the cascade boilers. The parameter Boiler_Rotation_Interval sets the number of days after which the sequence is updated. When Boiler_Rotation_Interval is set to 0 boiler rotation is disabled. When the parameter Burner_Rotation_Interval is updated the boiler rotation days left will be initialized to the new Burner_Rotation_Interval setting.
14.4.1 E MERGENCY MODE Open / Shorted boiler or system sensor When the setting Emergency_Mode is enabled, the controller can go into emergency mode when the system sensor status is open or shorted. The managing boiler display may show that the system is in emergency mode. In emergency mode the system setpoint is set to the Emergency_Setpoint (settable via installer menu) and all cascaded boilers are allowed to start burning on this setpoint.
15 SYSTEM TEST. For testing the system at fixed power rates, a system test can be activated via the Installer menu. Via the system test the boiler can be started without CH or DHW being present. The system test has priority. The following modes are available: System test mode Description...
16 COMMISSIONING THE BOILER 16.1 IRST FLUSHING THE BOILER WITH WATER After installation of the boiler the first step, before commissioning, is to flush the boiler and the whole heating installation with fresh water to remove pollution, debris and other materials that might cause a blocking. This must also be done with heating installations, where only the boiler is replaced.
16.4 OUNTING ONDENSATE When mounting the bottom part of the condensate trap, before commissioning the boiler and/or after maintenance, it must ALWAYS be completely filled with water. This is a safety measure: the water in the condensate trap keeps the flue gases from leaking out of the heat exchanger via the condensate drain.
17 ADJUSTING AND SETTING THE BOILER Before carrying out any adjustment of the burner, carefully read this complete chapter. The initial lighting of the appliance must be performed by a fully trained competent Engineer. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, serious injury or death. As soon as the appliance has been fully installed (with regard to hydraulics, filling and de-aeration of installation, gas, flue gas, air intake, wiring etc.) according to the preliminary installation instructions, the boiler may then be wired to an electrically grounded power supply source.

18 INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE. 18.1 ENERAL For a good, safe and long-time operation of the boiler and to maintain warranty it is mandatory to carry out inspection, maintenance and service on the boiler at least once a year. Inspection, maintenance and service of the boiler must also be carried out on the following occasions: •...
Page 117
Water leakage The water pressure of the heating installation must be more than 1.0 bar (21 psi) and at a maximum of 4.0 bar (87 psi) in normal operation. When the water pressure drops below the minimum occasionally, there might be a water leak. Check the boiler and the complete heating installation for any water leakages and have these repaired.
Page 118
Burner Check the burner surface to see if it has damages, signs of rust and/or cracks. When the burner surface is damaged the burner must be replaced. The burner can be cleaned by using a soft (non-metallic) brush. The dust can be removed with a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air.

Fibre braid replacement If the high temp braided rope is damaged and needs to be changed, it has to be replaced by new braids using the method described below. The high temp braided rope is maintained by silicone glue. - Remove electrodes. - Remove the braids by sliding under the periphery a thin tool to loosen the braids and remove it.
Page 120
Insulation The insulation of the heat exchanger (located on the rear wall inside the heat exchanger and burner door) must be inspected. If this insulation disc shows any signs of (water) damage or degradation it must be exchanged.
