The minimum flow rate should correspond to a temperature difference across the boiler flow and return of 35°C (63°F), assessed at catalogue rating.
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. B. This diagram does not show safety valves, water flow switches, etc., necessary for the safe operation of the system. atmosphere if proper venting and expansion of system water is to be achieved.
NOTE: PM5. When make up water is not provided automatically it will be necessary to fit controls which shut down the plant in the event of the maximum system pressure approaching to within 0.35 bar (5 psi) if safety valve setting. Other British Standards applicable to commercial sealed systems are:- BS.
Drainage points positioned at the bottom of all vertical chimney sections should be provided. Drain pipes should be no less than 25 mm I.D., manufactured from acid condensate resistant material such as stainless steel and be positioned so that pipe runs and discharge points are not subject to the effects of frost and that flue gases cannot leak into the boiler room.

16 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 19
At the start of the next call for heat (or the next clock period) valves on zones not calling for heat will motor shut. Water circulation system - refer to page 5 17 ZONES WITH INDIVIDUALLY PUMPED ZONES (3 zones shown) 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.
During overrun periods, Zone 1 pump performs the overrun facility; this zone, therefore, must satisfy the conditions in the foregoing paragraphs Graph Normal operation During a call for heat on Zone 1 only, Zone 1 thermostat energises the boiler, which in turn energises Zone 1 pump from terminal L2. During a call for heat on other zones the appropriate relay directs power to L1 to energise the boiler, at the same time ensuring that Zone 1 pump is controlled by Zone 1 thermostat.
Extinguish all naked lights and open all doors and windows. DO NOT SMOKE. Check that the gas supply is turned ON at the meter and open the main gas inlet cock. Loosen the union and allow air to be purged from the gas line until gas is smelled. Refer to BS 6891 or IGE-UP-1 for further details.

FAULT FINDING 51 BOILER CONTROL WARNING: The ON/STANDBY [1/0] button does NOT electrically isolate the boiler. Before attempting any electrical fault finding ALWAYS carry out the preliminary electrical system checks as detailed in the Instructions for the British Gas Multimeter or other similar commercially available meter. The preliminary electrical system checks are the FIRST electrical checks to be carried out during a fault finding procedure.
If the [0/1] switch on the front panel is at “Standby..0” then the pump will continue to run indefinitely. In this state the frost protection can not operate. In “Lockout” the pump will continue to run only if the temperature is greater than 75°C. If it is less then the pump will be off. FAULT FINDING The boiler control has a unique fault diagnostic feature which can, in the unlikely event of a failure, display a message indicating the nature of the fault to assist a speedy and effective repair.
