Engineer with the relevant training and certification (i.e. ACS - IEE registrations etc). Inspection The annual inspection of the Remeha Avanta can be limited to the following checks: - check the flue pipes and air supply pipes for leaks, see par.
Remeha Avanta 3.1.2 Checking the condensate siphon • Check the condensate siphon. Remove any dirt residues and refill with clean water to the mark. fig. 50 Checking the condensate siphon 59970LTGBW7H0234 3.1.3 Checking the ignition electrode • Check the ionisation /ignition electrode for: - deposits (remove any white deposits with abrasive cloth);...
3.1.4 Checking the combustion • Measure the O percentage and the flue gas tempera- ture at the flue gas sample point. Do this as follows: - heat the water temperature in the boiler to approx. 70°C; - unscrew the top of the flue gas point of measurement; - measure the O percentage and compare this to the check values in table 09.
Remeha Avanta Maintenance To conduct maintenance: Ensure that a service gasket set and new ignition/ionisation electrode is available before carrying out this procedure. • Isolate power supply at the fused spur before carrying out any work on the boiler.
Page 43
2. Maintenance of the ignition/ionisation electrode • Disconnect the earth wire from the electrode mounting plate. • Release the two screws on the electrode and remove the assembly. • Inspect, clean re-gap or replace the electrode, see par 3.1.3. • Do not over tighten the screws when replacing. fig.
Page 44
Remeha Avanta 4. Maintenance to the burner • Carefully clean the burner with pressured air (do not keep the nozzle to close to the surface). • Visual inspection of the burner for any damages or cracks on the surface. If you see any damages, than replace the burner.
Page 45
6. Re-Assembling the boiler and checking the combustion • Re-assemble all the components in reverse order. • Remember to connect the fan plug again before it is completely home on the front of the heat exchanger. • Check that the packing between the front plate and the heat exchanger has been fitted correctly.
Remeha Avanta ERRORS General The Remeha Avanta has an advanced control unit. The heart of this control unit is a microprocessor, the abc -control which ® both controls and protects the boiler. If an error is detected anywhere in the boiler, it will lock out and an error code will appear in the display.

11. Control unit Working principle The Remeha Avanta casing serves as a sealed air box, with air drawn in by the fan. On the outlet side of the fan is a ventu- ri, into which a measured quantity of gas is injected based on the volume of air available.
® 8.3.3 Regulating the water temperature The Remeha Avanta is fitted with an electronic temperature regulator with flow and return temperature sensors. The flow temperature can be set to between 20 and 75°C, see 2.10.8 (factory setting 75°C). The boiler modulates it’s output up and down to match the flow set point from internal or external con- trol.
EFFICIENCY DATA AND GAS EFFICIENCY LABELS Annual efficiency 108.7 % in relation to Hi at a load of 30% and a return tem- perature of 30°C. Water-side efficiency 98 % in relation to Hi at full load and an average water tem- perature of 70°C (80/60°C).
