The d.h.w heat exchanger (A in fig. 15) allows the instantaneous transferral of heat from the primary hydraulic circuit to the water destined for d.h.w use. fig. 15 The water structure and flow paths are shown in fig. The primary circuit runs along the heat exchanger from the top towards the bottom and inside the heat exchanger there are two parallel flows. Between these two flows the d.h.w circuit water circulates against the current.

7.1 Function The pump (A in fig. 21) has the function of making the water in the main circuit circulate through the main heat exchanger and therefore through the c/h system (during the c/h function) or through the secondary heat exchanger (during the d.h.w. function). fig.

isolate the boiler from the mains electricity supply before removing any covering or component. Check that the pump is not seized and that the movement of the rotor is not subject to mechanical impediments. With the boiler off, remove the front panel and lower the instrument panel. Remove the air release plug of the pump and turn the rotor with a screwdriver.

isolate the boiler from the mains electricity supply before removing any covering or component. fig. 28 demonstrates the relationship between the position of the indicator visible on the motor body of the valve and the electrical resistance of the motor. fig.
3 Release the electrical connector from the motor group. Removal of the hydraulic group 1. Empty the primary hydraulic circuit 2. Remove the motor group (see operations 1,2 and 3); 3. Loosen the pipe fitting E (fig. 31); 4. completely loosen the pipe fittings F (fig.
Several of these devices are directly accessible by the user (function switch, temperature adjustment potentiometers etc.) others are accessible by removing the service panel. 9.3 Checking the temperature The control circuit makes it possible to separately adjust the c/h water flow and d.h.w. outlet temperature. The temperature of the water is converted into an electric signal by means of temperature probes.
When the boiler functions in d.h.w. (fig. 35), the signal coming from the d.h.w. temperature probe is compared with the signal given by the instrument panel through the adjustment made by the user (knob fig. 35 Normally, the result of the comparison between these two signals directly operates the adjustment elements of the gas valve, adjusting the useful output generated in order to stabilize the temperature of the exiting water.

Before fitting the control circuit, ensure that the control spindles (fig. 45) are correctly inserted in the c/h and d.h.w. temperature adjustment knobs. fig. 45 WARNING: after having installed the control circuit check that the c/h and d.h.w. temperature adjustment knobs can move freely (half a turn). 9.11 Heat control in function fig.
10 Full sequence ignition device 10.1 Function The flame ignition and control device used on electronic ignition boilers with forced flue gas expulsion carries out the following fundamental functions: does a sequence of operations (ignition cycle) which lead to the ignition of the gas at the burner checks the presence of the flame during the entire period in which it is activated supplies the fan and checks its functioning by means of the signal coming from the flue gas pressure switch.

10.3 Removal WARNING: isolate the boiler from the mains electricity supply before removing any covering or component. 1 Remove the rear lid of the instrument panel, clearing it from the hooks placed in correspondence with the arrows printed on the lid (see chapter access to and emptying hydraulic circuits).
The gas valve controls the gas inflow to the boiler burner. By means of an electric command given to the on-off operators the passage of the gas through the valve can be opened or closed. By means of an electric command given to the modulating operator the pressure can be varied and therefore the gas flow rate to the burner (modulation).

This device controls the regular functioning of the pump, the presence of water in the primary circuit of the boiler and the absence of obstructions of the main heat exchanger during the c/h function as well as during the d.h.w. function. The main circuit flow switch is connected to the electronic control circuit and its intervention prevents or stops the burner ignition cycle but does not send the boiler in the lock state.

17 Ignition and detection electrodes 17.1 Function Three electrodes are fitted on the burner. Two of them are the ignition electrodes and are fitted near the front part of the burner. The ignition sparks take place between their metallic edges over the central ramp of the burner during the ignition sequence. The third electrode is the detection electrode and it detects the presence of the flame.

Check the integrity of the detection electrode and ensure that its metallic edge is correctly placed over the ramp of the burner. Check the connection wires WARNING: isolate the boiler from the mains electricity supply before removing any covering or component. Remove the front panel of the body, the lid of the sealed chamber and the cover of the combustion chamber.
18 Safety thermostat 18.1 Function The safety thermostat (A in fig. 87) is a device that senses the temperature of the main circuit water which flows in the outlet pipe of the main heat exchanger. If the temperature control system of the boiler fails and the temperature of the main circuit reaches a dangerous temperature, the safety thermostat opens the electric circuit which supply the gas valve on -off operators.
