WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM Due to the compact nature of the boiler the heat stored within the castings at the point of shutdown of the burner must be dissipated into the water circuit in order to avoid the overheat thermostat tripping. In order to allow pump operation after burner shutdown the boiler control box incorporates a pump overrun facility which operates for approximately 6 minutes after the burner shuts down and, in order to make use of this, the pump must be wired to the appropriate terminal L2 (pump) in the boiler control box.

The appliance must be installed by a CORGI registered installer, identified by. The installation of the boiler must be in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Gas Safety Regulations, current I.E.E. (BS. 7671) Regulations, Model Water Bye-laws, local water authority bye-laws and it should also comply with any relevant requirements of the local gas supplier, local authority and the relevant British Standard Codes of practice and building regulations.

Safe, efficient and trouble-free operation of open flued gas boilers is vitally dependent on the provision of an adequate supply of fresh air to the room in which the appliance is installed. Ventilation by grilles communicating to the outside air is required. The minimum free area of these grilles must be in accordance with Tables 6 and 7.
Page 10
This appliance must be efficiently earthed. A 230 V - 50 Hz mains supply is required, fused at 5 amps. Wiring external to the appliance MUST be in accordance with the I.E.E. (BS. 7671) Wiring Regulations and any local regulations which apply. For details of connections see Frame INSTALLATION...

10 FLUE CONNECTION 1. Complete the flue connection. 2. The boiler is designed to accept flues to BS. 835 and should be sealed with an approved boiler putty. 11 GAS CONNECTION 1. Connect the gas supply to the gas inlet pipe at the rear LH side of the boiler. Table 2 gives details of the inlet connection size and the minimum working pressures.

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.
Page 16
Wiring should be in four core PVC insulated cable, not less than 0.75mm (24/0.2mm). All fuses must be ASTA approved to BS. 1362. The length of the conductor between the cord anchorage and the terminals must be such that the current carrying conductors become taut before the earthing conductor, if the cable or cord slips out of the cord anchorage.

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 18
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.
Page 19
Three zones are illustrated but the principles may be extended as required, provided the above conditions are met. For each zone (except Zone 1) a relay with 2 C/O contacts is required. Overrun During overrun periods, Zone 1 pump performs the overrun facility; this zone, therefore, must satisfy the conditions in the foregoing paragraphs and Graph 1.

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. PURGING Check that the electricity supply is switched OFF. Remove the casing lower front panel.

21 MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE The manifold setting pressure must now be checked and adjusted as necessary. It is essential to set the High Pressure first 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 screw in the manifold setting pressure test point and connect a suitable gas pressure gauge.
Page 22
Failure to follow this procedure may result in the correct burner pressure being set but the 2 gas valve governors not working correctly. CXS 110 - 120 Boilers The setting procedure must be done in 2 steps. The location of the manifold pressure adjusters (1 & 2) on the gas valves are shown below. Remove the dust cover and using a screwdriver screw in the adjuster (1) on the LH gas valve nearly fully.

25 HANDING OVER ROUTINE OPERATION Full instructions covering routine lighting and operation of the boiler are given on the Lighting and Operation Instruction Label located on the inside of the casing door. Draw the attention of the boiler owner or his representative to the Lighting and Operating Instruction Label on the inside of the casing door. Give a practical demonstration of the lighting and shutting down of the boiler.

Examine the burner assembly. Clean the burner bars by brushing them down with a stiff bristle (not wire) brush. Check each bar carefully to ensure that all flame ports are clear, that there are no cracks and that all surfaces are free from accumulated deposits. If available, an industrial vacuum cleaner may be useful to assist in this work.

FAULT FINDING 41 BOILER CONTROL 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. On completion of any service/fault finding task which has required the breaking and remaking of electrical connections the following checks MUST be repeated: a.
Page 34
Before carrying out any Fault Finding, ensure that all internal controls are calling for heat and that the overheat thermostat has not operated. There should be 230V ± 10% available at the control box connection. 43 BOILER DOES NOT LIGHT 44 BOILER LIGHTS BUT GOES TO LOCKOUT...
