Bord Gais installers in connection with the installation and putting into operation of ATAG boilers. It is advisable to read these instructions thoroughly, well in ad- vance of installation. Separate instructions for use are supplied with the boiler for users of ATAG central heating boilers.

The current, Electricity at Work Regulation must be complied with and also be in accordance with the relevant and current editions of the British Standards. The ATAG Q boiler is a certified appliance and must not be modified or installed in any way contrary to this Installation Manual. Manufacturers instructions must not be taken in any way as overriding statutory obligations.

Mounting the boiler The room where the boiler will be placed must always be frost free. It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air vent in the room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which the boiler is installed, due to the extremely low surface temperature of the boiler casing during operation.

A low velocity header must be connected to the Q51C, Q51S and Q60S to prevent flow problems over the boiler. ATAG supplies the AA1OV09U Low velocity header for 1 boiler. This can be connected directly under the boiler on the flow and return pipe.

If the installation resistance is higher than the stated value the pump will rotate at maximum pump capacity and the load will be adjusted until an acceptable temperature difference between flow and return water has been obtained. If, after this, the temperature difference remains to much then the boiler will switch itself off and wait until an acceptable temperature has arisen.
6.2 Expansion vessel The central heating system must be provided with an expansion vessel. The expansion vessel which is used should be geared to the water content of the installation. The pre-charge pressure depends on the installation height above the mounted expansion vessel.
By this means the external expansion vessel is not required. This expansion vessel module is placed behind the ATAG Q boiler, by which means the expansion vessel is not noticeable. The content of the two expansion vessels is 20 litres. The pre-charge pressure is 1 bar.
Make sure that the gas pipe work does not contain dirt, particularly with new pipes. When the boiler has to be converted from natural gas to LPG, ATAG provides special kits for this purpose. Special instructions are supplied with the kit.
6.6 Condensation drain pipe ATAG boilers produce condensate. This condensate must be drained otherwise the boiler will not function. The collecting condensation drain pipe should be connected to the drain by means of an open connection. By this means the possibility of drain gases ending up in the boiler is prevented.
6.7 Flue gas exhaust system and air supply system The flue gas exhaust system and air supply system consists of: Flue gas pipe; Air supply pipe; Roof or wall terminal. The flue gas exhaust system and air supply system must comply with: United Kingdom: The flue gas outlet and air supply installation must comply with the current regulation requirements.

The appliance connection diameter is 80/125 mm, to which the flue gas outlet and air supply system can be fitted, with or without elbow pieces. The maximum permissible pipe length is set out in Table 5. Boiler conversion from concentric to parallel It is also possible to use a parallel pipe connection of 2x 80mm.
Page 18
For further information about the available components of the flue gas and air supply system we recommend you consult the Monopass Flue systems. The ATAG flue gas system is meant and designed solely the use on ATAG central heating boilers adjusted for Nat gas or LPG. The maximum flue gas temperatures are below 70°C (full load 80/60°C)

In certain weather conditions condensation may also accumulate on the outside of the air inlet pipe. Such conditions must be considered and where necessary insulation of the inlet pipe may be required. In cold and/or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving the flue terminal. The effect of such ‘plumeing’...

External hot water cylinders Depending of the comfort preferences different external hot water cylinders can be connected to the boiler. The choice of the cylinder depends on the coil output. The coil output must comply with the boiler output. A cylinder which is used in combination with a Q 51S or Q 60S, should have a minimal capacity of 40 kW resp.
Should it be necessary to change it, the mains power supply cable may only be replaced with an ATAG mains power supply cable (item No. S4407300). The ATAG room thermostat and controls must be connected to their allocated connections. All other types or makes of room thermostats or controls which are used must have a Volt free contact.
Boiler controls The boiler is provided with a fully automatic microprocessor control, called CMS Control Management System. This control simplifies operation by undertaking all major control functions. Initially when power to the unit is switched on it will remain on standby.

Filling and venting the boiler and installation The central heating installation needs to be filled with potable water. For filling or topping up the installation you use the filling loop according to the following procedure: Switch on the power supply; 2 The diplay will show FILL;...
Commissioning the boiler Before the boiler is fired, ensure that the boiler and the system are well vented and free of air. Purge the gas line between the gas meter and the boiler and carry out a gas soundness test as specified in the current Gas Safety Regulations. The boiler does not require adjustment of the burner pressure and air quantity because it is self adjusting and is factory set at the correct value.
In certain cases adjustment have to be altered in case of : Lower flow temperature More boilers in Cascade, i.e.. Read through the Parameter chapter to adjust the boiler to its installation. Contact ATAG Heating in case of doubt. Please follow next procudere to alter adjustments: Altering adjustments STEP 1 Press the Mode-key for 5 secondss.

* Most of the data in this table can be requested by the BrainQ. Most of the adjustments which are stated in this table are unnecessary when in combination with the ATAG BrainQ thermostat and will be taken care of by the BrainQ itself and do not have to be adjusted. For further information regarding to the BrainQ thermostat we refer to the ATAG BrainQ installation manual.
Isolating the boiler In some situations it may be that the entire boiler must be switched off. By switching off the three keys with the lamps for central heating, hot water and pump programme ), the boiler is switched off. Leave the plug in the wall socket, which means the circulation pump and the three-way valve are activated once every 24 hours in order to prevent jamming.
13.1 Checking for contamination In order to be able to check the boiler for contamination in the following years it is advisable to measure the maximum air displacement in the boiler when putting the boiler into operation. This value can be different with each type of boiler. In order to be able to measure this value follow the next procedure: Press the MODE-key for 5 seconds.
13.2 Checking the CO The CO percentage is factory-set. This has to be checked at commissioning, maintance and faults. This can be checked by means of the following procedure: Remove the black cover of the gas valve by unscrewing the sealed screw. Put the boiler into operation and take care that it can deliver its heat;...
13.3 Maintenance activities To carry out the maintenance activities please follow the next procedure: switch off the power supply; remove the screw behind the door on the front of the casing (see fig. 17); Lift the casing and remove it towards the front. Removing casing figure 17 The air box...

Make sure that during refitting of the clamping rods, they are put into the correct position. They should be turned vertically. Ignition electrode The replacement of the electrode is only necessary when the electrode is worn off. This can be checked by measuring the ionisation current. The minimum ionisation current has to be higher the 4µA on full load.
