NOTE: Concord CXA 40, CXA 50 and CXA 60 boilers are intended for use as COMMERCIAL BOILERS and are NOT certified for use in domestic applications. A domestic installation is defined as an installation where the boiler takes its combustion air from a living space or from a room directly or indirectly connected with the living space.

1. The minimum flow rate as given in Table 4 must be maintained whenever the boiler is firing and during the pump overrun period. 2. During the period of pump overrun there must be an open circuit of adequate water volume and/or load. The minimum size of this circuit is given by the use of Graph 1.

NOTE: A. This minimum height must be increased, if necessary, to comply with the minimum head required by the pump manufacturer in order to avoid cavitation. NOTE: B. This diagram does not show safety valves, water flow switches, etc., necessary for the safe operation of the system. In practice the deposition of these salts is liable to cause noises from the boiler body or even premature boiler failure.

6 PACKAGING Check that all these packages are complete and have been correctly received on site. Factory assembled boilers are despatched from the works as fully packaged units comprising: 1. Assembled boiler body (with distributor tube) on a wooden pallet base enclosed in a wooden crate. 2.
Thermostat pockets ......2 off 7 PACKAGING AND BOILER REMOVAL 1. Remove the casing carton and outer packaging frame. 2. Remove the casing pack support frame. 3. Remove the distributor tube pack, controls package and installation pack. 4. Remove the 2″ BSP steel handling bars from the installation pack. 5.
9 SYSTEM CONNECTIONS One flow and return connection should be made to the rear of the boiler - either on one side or opposite sides. The distributor tube and gaskets, supplied with the boiler, must be connected into the pumped return connection. Refer to Frame Two thermostat pockets are supplied in the installation pack.
12 CASING ASSEMBLY 1. Unpack the control box from its carton and release the temperature sensing probe strapped to the back of the box. The boiler casing should now be fitted. A casing hardware pack contains all the screws required for assembly. 2.

7. Route the overheat thermostat capillary through the cable clips as shown. Ensure the phial is correctly seated in the correct pocket opposite side to the flow connection. Refer to Frame 9. Secure with the split pin provided. 8. Route the temperature sensing probe through the cable clips provided and into the thermostat pocket adjacent to the flow connection. Fit the plastic Heyco bush over the sensor lead at the line shown and insert it into the thermostat pocket.
14 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Connection must be made in a way that allows complete isolation of the electrical supply - such as a double pole switch, having a 3mm (1/8″) contact separation in both poles, or a plug and socket serving only the boiler and system controls. The means of isolation must be accessible to the user after installation.

17 ZONES WITH BI-DIRECTIONAL MOTORISED VALVES IMPORTANT: Terminal L2 may control the appropriate pump(s) directly, provided that the total running or starting current does not exceed 6A (resistive or inductive): if this rating would be exceeded then appropriate switchgear must be used to control the pumps indirectly. Three zones are illustrated but the principles may be extended as required, provided the above conditions are met.
Page 18
Since any zone may be the load during overrun, all zones MUST individually be able to satisfy the conditions in the foregoing paragraph. If not all zones can do this then consider other means of control detailed on other sheets. Normal operation When any thermostat is satisfied while others are calling for heat, power is available via relay contacts to close the valve for that zone.

IMPORTANT: Terminal L2 may control the appropriate (s) directly, provided that the total pump running or starting current does not exceed 6A (resistive or inductive): if this rating would be exceeded then appropriate switchgear must be used to control the pumps indirectly. Three zones are illustrated but the principles may be extended as required, provided the above conditions are met.
When the clock period ends, Zone valve 1 will (stay) open via normally closed relay contacts to achieve pump overrun. 20 COMMISSIONING AND TESTING GENERAL Check that all drain cocks are closed, that any stop valves fitted to the flow and return pipes are open and that the system has been filled and properly vented.
22 GAS PRESSURE MANIFOLD PRESSURE The manifold setting pressure must now be checked and adjusted as necessary. Start the adjustment procedure with the system cold, on full load and with all temperature controls set to maximum to avoid thermostatic shutdown. Remove the blanking screw in the manifold setting pressure test point and connect a suitable gas pressure gauge.
23 SPILLAGE CHECK Check there is no spillage of combustion products from the boiler draught diverter by carrying out a spillage test, as detailed in BS. 5440:1. 24 TESTING Check that the main burner responds correctly to manual on/off operations of any controls fitted in the gas control circuit. Check, in the following manner, the operation of the flame failure safety device: 1.

Unscrew the extended nuts at the top of the NOx duct behind the control box and lift the NOx duct clear of the burners as illustrated below. Undo the 4 wing nuts securing the burner front plate. Pull the front plate forwards, at the top, and lift it out - taking care not to damage the insulation. The centre and RH burners can be lifted out after they have been pushed back to clear the injector.

NOTE: Casing omitted for clarity 28 SERVICING - continued. Refit the LH burner, ensuring that the flame detector lead is properly connected. Reconnect both electrode leads at the S4561B1054 PCB in the control box. Ensure the sleeving passes through the strain relief clamp before refastening it. Refit the centre and RH burners.
GENERAL WARNING: Always turn OFF the gas supply at the gas inlet cock and switch OFF and DISCONNECT the electricity supply BEFORE WORKING on the appliance. To facilitate the replacement of components, remove and replace the lower front panel, NOx duct and the burner front plate as necessary - described under ‘Servicing’.
32 FLAME DETECTOR AND LEAD 1. Remove the LH burner as previously described in Frame 27 2. Pull off the lead at the electrode and unscrew the flame detector electrode. 3. Fit the new electrode and reassemble in reverse order. 4.
Page 27
4. Fit new LH burner and the centre and RH burners. NOTE: Ensure that the pilot burner is correctly fitted, i.e. facing the front, and that the pilot injector has not been omitted. 7. Reconnect the pilot gas pipe connection to the gas valve. IMPORTANT: Care must be taken to prevent damage to the combustion chamber insulation when replacing burners.
37 OVERHEAT THERMOSTAT 1. Remove the split pin from the overheat thermostat pocket and remove the phial. 2. Undo the two M3 screws and remove the thermostat assembly from its fixing bracket. 3. Undo the backnut and two M3 screws to release the top bracket. 4.
38 CONTROL SENSOR POTENTIOMETER ASSEMBLY 1. Undo the thermostat knob retaining screw and pull off the knob. 2. Remove the lower front panel 3. Undo the backnut and washer retaining the potentiometer. 4. Undo the 2 screws securing the control box front panel, lift it and carefully lower it down. 5.

ASSEMBLY The combustion chamber should be positioned as near as possible to the installation site. IMPORTANT: It must be remembered that the boiler distribution tube has to be fitted into the rear return tapping of the assembled boiler before siting. Prior to assembling the sections it will be necessary to remove the burner and controls assembly from the combustion chamber.
14. Fit the flue baffles which are located between the fins. (not fitted to CXA 110 or 120 boilers) 15. Fit the collector hood. Ensure the underside returns running across the hood sit within the front and rear section flueways. Fasten down, using the four M6 screws and nuts provided, through the front and rear fixing points.
