"RESET" button so that the display reverts to show the actual flow temperature of
the boiler.
Once a heating demand is received the fan will start and the boiler will enter the
pre-purge phase. During this phase the boiler pump will also start to run. The
pump and fan symbols should illuminate on the top line of the indicating they are
both running. After 5 seconds the boiler will start to spark, indicated by a flashing
flame symbol on the top row of the display, and will energise the gas valve. When
ignition is achieved the flame symbol on the top row will stop flashing and remain
steady.
If an air lock or other blockage is present the unit may go to overheat or water
pressure lockout. This will be indicated by the display flashing error code "E12" or
"E67". If this occurs clear the blockage and/or purge the air from the system, and
press the "Reset" button to restart the ignition sequence.
If ignition does not occur, the boiler, at approximately 20 second intervals, will
make four further attempts to light the burner.
If after five automatic attempts the boiler still fails to ignite, the display will show
the code "E 02" indicating no ignition.
If, after five manual attempts (to allow for purging of any air in the gas line), the
boiler still fails to ignite refer to Section 6.3 - Fault Modes.
f.
Check for gas tightness between the gas service cock and connection to
the burner manifold.
g.
Check for soundness of the connection between the heat exchanger base
and the condensate trap.

HOT FLUSHING

a.
Allow the system to heat up, checking for water soundness.
b.
Follow instructions provided with the cleaning agent, i.e. Fernox Supafloc, or
equivalent. Turn off the boiler and flush the water system while still hot.
Thoroughly flush the system with clear water.
c.
Refill the system using a quality water treatment such as Fernox MB1 or Sentinel
X100. For sealed systems, fill to the required Initial Design Pressure.

COMBUSTION TESTING - MANDATORY CHECK

Although the gas pressure is preset at the factory it is required to assure proper
combustion by measuring gas input and the level of carbon dioxide, or oxygen and carbon
monoxide, in the flue outlet from the boiler. Over firing or under firing the burner will
reduce the longevity of the appliance and may result in excessive carbon monoxide levels
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are colourless, odourless gases produced by all
combustion processes. When the Keston condensing boiler is operating properly, carbon
dioxide (CO
) levels will be between 8.4 & 8.8% (low rate) and 8.9 & 9.3% (high rate) and
2
carbon oxide (CO) levels will be between 5 to 20 ppm (low rate) and 50 to 150 ppm (high
rate) for natural gas. For LP gas, carbon dioxide (CO
(low rate) and 10.3 & 10.7% (high rate) and the carbon monoxide will be between 5 & 20
ppm (low rate) and 50 & 150 ppm.
In any event, the CO

spigot (Figure 6.7.4 item 17). Insert the probe of a calibrated combustion analysis meter
and sample the gases as instructed in the test equipment's instructions.
When firing the boiler for the first time since installation, the CO level at high rate may be
between 100-220 ppm and between 50-80 ppm at low rate. This is due to compounds
used during manufacture curing within the combustion chamber. On boilers which have
been fired for more than one hour since installation, the CO levels should not exceed 150
ppm at high rate and 50 ppm at low rate. If CO levels above these values are
experienced, the combustion chamber and flue system should be investigated.
The Qudos 28s is factory set for combustion and should need no adjustment. However, in
the event adjustment is required.
Check combustion errors are not a result of incorrectly installed flue and/or air system,
terminal location or damage or debris on the burner. If all these factors are found to be in
order precede as follows:
