Installation Remeha Avanta Plus 2.2.3 Mounting the Remeha Avanta Plus • Remove the mounting plate and template from the box. • U sing the template determine and mark the position of the three mounting holes and center line of flue, making sure the plate is absolutely level. • Drill the (Ø 10 mm) holes. • Fit the (Ø 10 mm) plugs. • Fit (Ø 8 mm) screws into the plugs.
Remeha Avanta Plus 2. Installation 2.3.2 Circulation pumps The Remeha Avanta Plus 18s, 24s, 24c and 28c are fitted with the Grundfos UPR 15-60 and the Avanta Plus 30s, 35c and 39c with the UPR 15-70, two-speed circulation pumps. The control unit ensures that when the hot-water function is active, Residual head UPR 15-60 the pump runs at ‘high’. The factory setting of the pump for CH function is ‘low.’ If necessary, the service installer can adjust this to ‘high’ by switching parameter 21 (from 0 to 1) see...
2. Installation Remeha Avanta Plus Please ensure that the new boiler plant is not in circuit when the flushing takes place, especially if cleansing chemicals are used to assist the process. It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after installa- tion, system modifications, filling the system and every service in accordance with these instructions.
Remeha Avanta Plus 2. Installation 2.3.6 Pressure switch A pressure switch is fitted in the boiler set to minimum operat- ing pressure of the boiler of 0.6 bar. If the water pressure in the boiler drops below 0.6 bar, the pressure switch wil lock the boiler and error code e9 appears in the display. When the central heating system has been refilled, the boiler has to be reset manually. 2.3.7 Expansion vessel An 8 litre expansion vessel (with the vessel charge set to 1.0 bar) is fitted as standard within the boiler case and is suitable for use in a heating system with a water content up to 100 litres, operating at a flow temperature of 80°C, a maximum...
• F it the inlet pipe for CH water to the ‘CH return’ 22 mm Ø connection. The Remeha Avanta Plus has a drain cock built into the return isolating valve It is considered good practice to install an air separator / dirt removal device in the return to the boiler.
14 Connecting condensate drain LT.AL.W7H.000.018 2.3.12 Connecting under floor heating The Remeha Avanta Plus can be connected directly to an under floor heating system. If plastic pipes have been used they must be made oxygen dif- fusion proof in compliance with DIN 4726/4729 When installing under floor heating with a separate pump, the layout should be such that the under floor heating pump can- not cause a flow to the boiler if there is no heat demand. A low...
• The gas supply must be connected, tested for soundness and purged by a qualified Engineer and in accordance with BS6891. Flue terminal and air supply connections The Remeha Avanta Plus is only suitable for room sealed operation with a standard concentric connection 60/100 mm Ø or the optional 80/125 mm Ø connection. Detailed recommendations for air supply and flue terminals are given in BS 5440.

The heart of the boiler control unit is a microprocessor, the ‘abc ®’ which controls and protects the boiler. The maximum rated input is between 115 and 180 W (depend- ing on boiler type).
Control unit characteristics Any loads other than those specified above are only allowed if an isolating transformer is used. The output of the Remeha Avanta Plus can be controlled in the following ways: Options 1. On/off control – volt free switching - The boilers internal control will modulate the output to achieve the flow tem- perature set point of the boiler. This contact is on the con- nectors 7 and 8 on terminal block X9 (low voltage only).

OpenTherm is an industry standard modulating control avail- ® able from several control manufacturers. The Remeha Avanta Plus can therefore be controlled directly by any other controls with this OpenTherm logo ® 2.7.5 Connecting an outside temperature sensor An outside temperature sensor can be connected to connec- tors 1 and 2 of the X9 terminal block.
Remeha Avanta Plus 2. Installation 2.7.6 Connecting the DHW sensor/thermostat • I f an external DHW calorifier is being used with the Avanta Plus system boiler a volt-free DHW control sensor or ther- mostat can be connected to connectors 3 and 4 of the X9 terminal block. The control will automatically detect whether a sensor or a thermostat has been connected.
2. Installation Remeha Avanta Plus 2.7.8 Connecting an external interlock The Remeha Avanta Plus is supplied with an external interlock function. A volt free switching device (i.e. external gas pres- sure switch, safety thermostat for under floor heating) can be connected to connectors 5 and 6. When this circuit is open the boiler will shut down with the display showing (code 9) and will restart when the circuit is closed. 2.7.9 Connecting remote alarm, boiler run indication and external pump relay As standard the boiler is supplied with 3 volt free connectors on terminal X7. They can be used for an external gas valve, remote alarm and boiler run indication.
Remeha Avanta Plus Commissioning 2.9.1 Control Panel The control panel of the Remeha Avanta Plus has 4 function keys and a LED display. The function keys are used to read or change the settings and temperatures. The display has two positions and displays information on the current operating status of the boiler and any errors.
