SAFETY REGULATIONS The appliance must be installed in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations; October 1994. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution. Atmos Heating Systems does not accept any liability for damage or injury caused by not (strictly) observing the current safety regulations and instructions, nor by negligence while installing the Atmos InterCombi wall- mounted gas heater and any accompanying accessories.
DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE General The Atmos InterCombi wall-mounted gas boiler is designed for delivering heat to the water of a CH system and the domestic hot water. The air supply and flue discharge can be connected to the appliance by means of two separate pipes or a concentric connection.

determined by the weather dependent control programmed in the controller. During CH operation, the demanded CH supply temperature is displayed on the operating panel. During CH operation, the actual CH supply temperature can be read by pressing the service button. Note: Instead of an on/off thermostat, an OpenTherm thermostat can be connected to the controller as described in §5.4.1.
Test programmes In the controller, there is provision for putting the appliance into a test status. By activating a test programme, the appliance will become active with a fixed fan speed without intervention of the control functions. The safety functions remain active though. Simultaneously press + and –...

Unpacking the appliance 1. Unpack the appliance. 2. Check the content of the packaging. This consists of:- • Appliance (A) • Mounting strip (B) • Condensate trap (C) • Installation Instructions • User Operating Instructions • Warranty card 3. Valve set (supplied separately with boiler) comprising 2 x 22mm isolation valves, 1 x 15mm isolation valve with blue lever (for cold water), 1 x gas valve.
Boiler location Clearances Above casing 200mm min Below casing 230mm min 30mm min 30mm min (in operation) 140mm min (servicing) Front 30mm min (in operation) Front 450mm min (servicing) Keep 50 mm free space above the front panel in order to be able to remove the front panel from the casing.
Mounting and General Information Depending on the mounting option ordered, the following mounting methods are available:- Mounting strip (A) alone, OR mounting strip (A) and optional pipe mounting bracket (B), OR rear mounting frame (C) and pipe mounting bracket (B), which are both optional items.
4.5.4 Installation connections 1. Make the various connections to the valves (see diagram). 2. Install a filling loop (not supplied) between the cold water inlet pipe and the CH return connection. 3. For most installations, the flexible tube for the safety discharge will be long enough to fit into the condensate discharge waste pipe (see below).
Condensate disposal The appliance is provided with a 25 mm flexible pipe from its condensate trap. As given in §4.6, this should be inserted into an open waste pipe of not less than 32 mm diameter, together with the safety discharge pipe.
CONNECTIONS Connect the CH system 1. Flush the CH system thoroughly. 2. Mount the flow and return pipes to the mounting bracket. All pipes must be mounted tension-free in order to avoid ticking of the pipes. Existing connections must not be twisted in order to avoid leaks at the connections with the external pipes.
5.1.4 Underfloor heating For a good operation of the domestic hot water supply, there must be no undesired circulation through the appliance caused by a second pump of the CH circuit. Connect underfloor heating with an electric shut-off valve (two-way valve) to prevent circulation through the appliance when there is no demand for central heating.
Connecting the gas supply 1. Connect the appliance gas valve to the gas pipe. 2. Check the boiler's data plate to ensure that the appliance has been set for the correct gas supply. The boiler is supplied for Natural Gas (G20).

General Flue Requirements 5.5.1 Flue terminal clearances The flue terminal must be sited with minimum clearance distances as shown in the diagram. A terminal guard must be fitted if the terminal is sited less than 2m above ground level, or above a balcony, or accessible flat roof.
Note regarding internal air-flue systems. It is recommended that the boiler is sited on or next to an external wall so as to negate the need to use a void or enclosure as a route for the flue system. Where this is not possible the following applies: CORGI have issued a Guidance Document on the safe installation of flue systems within a dwelling.
Page 27
Mounting 60/100mm horizontal concentric terminal 1. Drill hole of diameter 110 mm or larger hole. 2. Cut the terminal to the length required. 3. Slide the terminal into the opening and fit rosettes to cover the opening. 4. Ensure the pipes slope back to the appliance. An alternative telescopic 60/100 horizontal concentric terminal is available from Atmos.
Page 28
5.6.3 Vertical Concentric connection Straight adapters are available for either 60/100mm or 80/125mm systems. IMPORTANT! Using the concentric adapter set (see photo), the standard two-pipe connection can be changed into a concentric connection. 1. Seal the open air supply connections in the appliance with the sealing cap delivered with the set (item C in photo).
Page 29
80/125mm Concentric extension for balcony outlet When the free outlet is hindered by an eave, balcony, gallery or anything else, the concentric terminal must be extended to at least the front side of the overhanging part (see diagram). Table of Atmos 80/125mm concentric flue equivalent lengths Maximum equivalent concentric length allowed is 27 metres (Note: Includes an allowance for the terminal;...

COMMISSIONING Note The appliance must be installed and commissioned in accordance with the Fill and de-aerate the appliance and the system manufacturer’s instructions in order to comply with the Building Regs. To demonstrate WARNING compliance, the Benchmark Checklist (located at the back of this Manual) should be Connect the appliance to the mains voltage only after completed and signed at the time of filling and de-aerating!
Commissioning of the appliance After having carried out the above operations, the appliance can be commissioned. 1. Switch on the electrical supply to the appliance. The appliance may carry out a self-test as determined by the controller: 2 (on service display). After completing the self-test, a horizontal mark will appear in the service display: - .
System Shutdown CAUTION Drain the appliance and the system when the mains voltage has been disconnected and there is a chance of freezing. 1. Drain the appliance using the drain tap. 2. Drain the system at the lowest point. 3. Close the main valve for the cold water supply to the boiler. 4.
SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT The functioning of the appliance is mainly determined by the (parameter) setting in the appliance controller. A part of this can be set directly via the operating panel, while another part requires an Installer code to be entered before settings can be changed.
Parameters Parameter Setting Factory Description setting InterCombi Note: Appliances produced before Nov 07 had earlier version of HE 32 s/w (c not included, and d = minimum speed). Service code [15] Access to installer settings. The service code must be entered (=15).
Setting maximum CH power The maximum CH power is set to 50% in the factory. When the CH system requires more or less power, the maximum CH power can be changed by adjusting the fan speed. See table: Setting CH power. This table gives the relation between the fan speed and the appliance power.
Weather-dependent control T supply °C When the outside sensor is connected, the supply temperature is automatically controlled dependent on the outside temperature in accordance with the set control line. The T set CH (= CH supply temperature) is set via the temperature display.
In case of any alterations, replacement of the gas valve or conversion to another gas type, the control must be checked and reset if necessary according to the table below:- Gas type Natural gas H Propane P Gas category 2H G20 3P G31 (propane) % at low position (L) 8.8 –...
13. Exit the test mode by simultaneously pressing the “+” and “–“ buttons on the operating panel. Replace the dust cap (A) and close the flue gas measuring nipple. 14. Remount the front cover of the appliance. Caution: Check the measuring nipples used for gas tightness. Caution: On windy days or on installations with a long flue run it is necessary to replace the front cover of the boiler in order to obtain an accurate CO measurement...
FAULTS When the controller detects a fault, the red fault LED flashes (above the Reset button) and a fault code is shown on the Temperature display. After the fault has been remedied, the controller can be restarted by pressing the Reset button for 5 secs. The following faults are detected and displayed:- Temperature Description...
