c.
Loosen the screw in the burner pressure test point (Figure 5.7.3 item 105) on the
gas valve and attach a suitable gauge.
d.
Turn on the electrical supply, setting any external controls to call for heat.
e.
ON/OFF switch - select 'ON'. The amber light will illuminate on the ON/OFF
switch, the red 'lockout' light will illuminate, the blower and pump will start and,
after about 15 seconds, a spark will attempt to light gas at the burner for
approximately 10 seconds. With the gas service cock off, the boiler will go to
lockout - red light still illuminated, but the blower and pump will continue to run. At
intervals of approximately 1 minute the boiler will make two further attempts to
fire. After the final attempt the blower will run for a further 20 seconds before
shutting down.
f.
Vent the water system.
Important:
The Keston heat exchanger consists of a single coil which can trap an air pocket.
Great care must be taken to ensure that water flow has been established through
the heat exchanger and thus ensuring no air pockets remain in the heat
exchanger and pipe work. Firing the boiler while an air pocket exists in the heat
exchanger could damage it.
g.
Note the reading on the pressure gauge caused by the suction of the blower. This
should be approximately minus 30 mbar. If it is not, check the system as follows:
h.
Turn the gas service cock to ON.
i.
Turn off the electricity supply, wait 10 seconds and turn back on. The boiler will
again go through its ignition sequence but this time the main burner will light,
provided all air has been purged from the gas supply to the boiler. When the
burner is lit and the boiler is operating normally the green (run) lamp, the upper
lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, will also be illuminated indicating successful
ignition (If it does not and the green lamp is extinguished after 10 seconds, air is
indicated - turn off and repeat the procedure).
If ignition does not occur, the green (run) lamp, the upper lamp adjacent to the
flame symbol, will be extinguished and, at approximately 1 minute intervals, the
electronic ignition system will make two further attempts to light the burner.
If the ignition is successful and the boiler is operating normally, the green (run)
lamp, the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, and the red (lockout) lamp will
be illuminated simultaneously.
If after three automatic attempts the boiler still fails to ignite, the green (run) lamp,
the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, will be extinguished and the red
(lockout) lamp will remain illuminated.
If, after five manual attempts (to allow for purging of any air in the gas line), the
boiler still fails to ignite (indicated by the red (lockout) lamp) refer to Section 5.2 -
Fault Finding Flow Chart.
j.
Check for gas soundness between the gas service cock and connection to the
burner manifold.

Chapter 4 : Commissioning
If the negative pressure exceeds 30 mbar, then it suggests that there
is a possible restriction in the air inlet pipework.
If the negative pressure is less than 30 mbar, then it suggests that
there is a possible restriction in the flue outlet pipework. Note the
exact reading.
