Carrying Out A Full Function Test - Vaillant ecoTEC pro Installation And Maintenance Instructions Manual

10 Commissioning
> Undo the sealing screw of the measuring nipple (1) (left-
hand screw) at the gas valve using a screwdriver.
> Connect a digital pressure gauge or U-tube manometer
(2) to the measuring nipple (1).
> Open the gas isolation valve of the boiler.
> Start the boiler by activating the test program P.01 as
described in ¬ section 13.3.
> In addition, ensure that maximum heat can be dissipated
into the heating system by turning up the room thermo-
stat.
> Alternatively, fully open the hot water taps to ensure full
flow rate through the boiler.
> With the boiler operating at full load check that the gas
inlet working pressure at the reference test point (1)
complies with the requirements of ¬ table 10.3.
> Should the pressure recorded at the reference test point
in the boiler be lower than indicated (¬ table 10.3) check
if there is any blockage in the pipework or if the pipe-
work is undersized.
If the supply pressure is out of tolerance contact your
Emergency Service Provider.
If the gas inlet working pressure at the reference test point
(1) is not within the permissible range and you cannot cor-
rect the failure, notify the gas supply company or the
Vaillant Service Solutions (0870 6060 777) and proceed as
follows:
> Take the boiler out of operation by
– terminating test program P.01 as described in ¬ sec-
tion 10.2.
– Allow the boiler to cool down by turning off water
taps and allow pump overrun to operate for a
minimum of two minutes.
> Close the gas isolation valve of the boiler.
> Remove the pressure gauge and retighten the sealing
screw (1) for the measuring nipple.
> Turn on gas at the gas isolation valve.
> Make sure that there is no leakage at the sealing screw.
> Turn off gas at the gas isolation valve.
> Put the front casing back on.
> Turn off electrical supply to the boiler.
> You must not start up the boiler.
If the gas inlet working pressure is within the permissible
range, proceed as follows:

tion 10.2.

> Close the gas isolation valve of the boiler.
> Remove the pressure gauge and retighten the sealing

> Open the gas isolation valve of the boiler.
> Make sure that there is no leakage at the sealing screw.
> Put the front casing back on.
> Reset boiler controls for normal operation.

resp. mbar) in the Benchmark gas boiler commissioning
checklist.

Carrying out a full function test

> After completing the installation and the gas setting,
perform a complete function check of the boiler before
starting up the boiler and handing it over to the opera-
tor.
> Start up the boiler in accordance with the relevant oper-
ating instructions.
10.6 Checking for leaks
> Check the gas supply line, the flue gas installation, the
heating installation and the hot water pipes for leaks.
> Check the air/flue gas duct for correct installation.
> Make absolutely sure that the front casing is properly
fitted.
> Check the heating mode (¬ section 10.10.1)
> Check the operation of the hot water generation (¬ sec-
tion 10.10.2)
