You can check with the CORGI register by calling CORGI on 01256 372300". Ferroli is a member of the Benchmark initiative and fully supports the aims of the programme. Benchmark has been introduced to improve the standards of installation and commissioning of central heating systems in the UK and to encourage the regular servicing of all central heating systems to ensure safety and efficiency.
1.01 Introduction The Tempra 24 is defi ned as a “room sealed” boiler, all air required for combustion is taken from outside the room in which it is installed. It is a new high performance gas fi red heat generator for central heating. A special feature of this boiler is its built-in electronic fl...

TEMPRA 24 3.09 Gas connection Gas connection should be carried out using a rigid pipe. The fl ow at the gas meter should be suffi cient for the simultaneous use at full gas rate of all appliances connected to it. Connect the gas supply to the boiler according to current regulations. The diameter of the gas tube leaving the boiler is not the determining factor in choosing the diameter of the pipe between the appliance and the meter.

Customer Technical Service Helpline. 5.09 Gas conversion The following adjustment and conversion operations must be carried out by competent personnel. FERROLI Limited accepts no liability for damage to property or personal injury resulting from tampering with the boiler by unauthorised persons.
TEMPRA 24 6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING The following operations must be carried out by Corgi registered engineers only. 6.01 Annual Servicing The following should be checked at least once a year: • Water pressure in the central heating system when cold should be about 1 bar. If this is not the case, bring it back to this value.

TEMPRA 24 7. Replacement of Parts 7.01 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.

TEMPRA 24 8. FAULT FINDING Before beginning any fault fi nding ensure that gas, water and electricity are available. WARNING: DO NOT link any terminals on block X10 or X11 as this will damage the PCB beyond repair. 8.01 Operating Sequence With the power established the boiler is in its stand-by mode i.
Page 38
TEMPRA 24 8.04 Temperature sensors (thermistors) Identical, but individual, negative temperature co-effi cient (NTC) thermistors are fi tted in the C.H. and D.H.W. outlets from the heat exchanger. As the water temperature increases the resistance in the thermistor decreases. This causes the PCB to reduce the voltage to the modureg, in turn reducing the burner pressure.
