ARENA 30 A 2. INSTALLATION 2.1 General Instructions Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1996 In the interest of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance with the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of Practice, current I.E.E.
“B” lines (for vertical connections) or from ”C” holes for horizontal connections (using optional Ferroli kit). Note If there is no drilling template for mounting the appliance, simply fasten the boiler to...
ARENA 30 A In addition, shut-off valves should be installed between the boiler and the heating system to allow, if necessary, the boiler to be isolated from the system. If a non-return valve is also installed in the domestic hot water circuit, a safety valve must be fitted between the boiler and this circuit.
ARENA 30 A An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the Local Gas supplier. A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas supplier, or by a Local Gas suppliers Contractor. Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS6891-1988.
ARENA 30 A 2.8 Electrical connections Power supply The boiler must be connected to a single-phase, 230 Volt-50 Hz power line, with max 3A fuses fitted between boiler and the line, as well as a bipolar switch (ON/OFF) with contacts whose opening is at least 3 mm. The boiler must always be properly earthed.
ARENA 30 A 2.10 Flues Arena is a type-C boiler with forced draught, the air inlet and the flue gas outlet must be connected to one of the exhaust–intake systems indicated as follows. Using the tables and the methods of calculation described, first verify, before installation, that the flues do not exceed the maximum allowed length.

ARENA 30 A To locate the centre of the hole for the passage of the pipes in the wall, refer to Fig. 14: Fig. 14 Please consider that the horizontal concentric piping must have a slope towards the boiler of at least 3 mm/ m, to allow the condensation which forms in the flues to flow back to the boiler, and avoid external dripping.
ARENA 30 A 2.12 Connection to separate pipes The separate Ø60 pipes for air intake and flue gas exhaust can be connected directly to the boiler, as shown in Fig. 16a. Separate Ø80 pipes can be connected directly, once the two 80/60 (optional) reducers have been fitted inside the boiler (Fig.

ARENA 30 A For other accessories please refer to the manual: “Flue accessories and installation of forced air appliances” Example of how to calculate the connection of two separate pipes, max flue length: 100 metres The flue and air pipes must be sloped towards the boiler by at least 3%.
Gas conversion The adjustment and transformation operations must only be performed by Qualified Personnel. FERROLI S.p.A. declines all liability for damage to persons and/or things deriving from tampering with the appliance by non-authorised persons. The appliance can operate with natural or LPG supply gas, and is factory configured for use with one of the two gases, as is clearly marked on the packaging and on the rating plate on the appliance itself.

ARENA 30 A ∆ t setting The thermal head ∆t, that is the difference in heating water temperature between the central heating outlet and return, can be set by varying the speed of the pump system (Fig. 21- A). Note that an increase in speed corresponds to a reduction of the ∆t, and vice-...
ARENA 30 A 3.2 Commissioning and testing The appliance must only be set-up for use by Qualified Personnel, such as personnel from Technical organization. Checks to be performed during the first ignition, and after all maintenance operations which may have...
ARENA 30 A Checks during operation • Ensure there are no gas or water leaks. • Check the efficiency of the flues and air-flue gas pipes during the operation of the boiler. • Check that the water circulation between the boiler and the systems is correct.

ARENA 30 A WARNING The hot wire spark electrode is fragile! Both during and after removal handle the unit “M” with care to avoid damaging the electrode. 9. The burner assembly can be cleaned in place or removed by unscrewing the three fastening screws on the hexagonal support base.
ARENA 30 A 3.4 Replacement of parts Initial procedure a) The boiler is cold, electricity supply is isolated, and the gas supply is turned off at the inlet of the boiler b) For replacement of parts where water connections are broken, it will be necessary to isolate and drain either or both the central heating or domestic hot water circuits of the boiler only.

ARENA 30 A Replacement of pump head (fig. 27) • Isolate electricity and flow and return pipes • Remove casing • Release pressure from boiler via pressure relief valve • Unplug the pump lead “B” from the pump head • Place a piece of cloth or other absorbent material over the rear of the control panel to catch any drops of water that may fall when the pump head is removed.
The following table lists a number of indications for resolving the faults signalled by the boiler. Interventions on the appliance must be effected only by Qualified Personnel, such as the personnel from the FERROLI Customer Technical Service Centre. For any operations on the appliance or which require the opening of the boiler, always request the assistance of the service centre.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Operation and controls The Arena 30 A is a pre-mix condensing thermal generator for heating and the production of domestic hot water, using natural gas or LPG (configured at the moment of installation) and managed by an advanced microprocessor control system.
ARENA 30 A 4.3 Ignition Check than any shut-off valves in the heating system and domestic hot water circuit outside of the boiler are open. Open the gas cock upstream from boiler and press the main switch. The boiler will perform an self- test cycle lasting approximately one minute, at the end of which it is ready for operation.
ARENA 30 A 4.7 Setting the heating system temperature Set, using the room thermostat or remote control, the desired temperature inside the rooms. When acting on the room thermostat, the boiler is turned on and the heating system water is brought to the central heating outlet set temperature or calculated temperature (with temperature scrolling active).
ARENA 30 A 4.11 Outside temperature compensation When the (optional) external probe is installed, the boiler regulation system functions in “Outside temperature compensation” mode. In this mode, the temperature of the heating system is regulated according to the external climatic conditions, so as to guarantee a high degree of comfort and energy saving all year round.
