( A Pipe Thermostat) is recommended. This is fitted as standard to Firebird System Boliers. A 4-core cable should be used in this case to supplying power to the unit. The fourth wire in the 4-core cable can be used to bring a seperate power supply to power the circulating pump, through the over run thermostate.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2-C: Burner Lockout To reset when Lock-out light shows: Press glowing reset button on burner control box. Reset Button Inside Burner Box The boiler is factory fitted with a burner control box lockout safety feature which operates automatically if a fault occurs in the burners operation. Should this occur, the R R E E D D light on the front of the boiler control panel - See diagram on previous page - will illuminate and its cause must be investigated.
INSTALLATION 3-A: Standards & Regulations To ensure the highest standards of installation & safety, it is important that the boiler be installed in compliance with the following regulations where applicable. All CURRENT editions of the appropriate Building Regulations:- Part G & J England & Wales Part F, Section III Scotland Part L Northern Ireland Part J Republic of Ireland...

Appliances Installation. Please ensure that the appliance is bolted to the floor for seismic restraint. Firebird recommend the use of Firebird coaxial flue systems to achieve room sealed operation. However, conventional flue systems are also suitable. The installation of this appliance and fuel source will require a building consent from your local council.

FLUE SYSTEMS 4-A: Important Notice Because of the improved efficiencies of boilers under E.U. Efficiency requirements and OFT A100 Standard, it is necessary to pay extra special attention to flues and chimneys. The improved efficiency figures achieved by modern oil boilers are attained by using more of the heat (higher temperatures) heretofore allowed into flues and chimneys.

FLUE SYSTEMS 4-E Ventilation and Combustion Air 1. Conventional Flue Boilers An adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air is essential for efficient and safe boiler operation and the openings for this should be positioned to cause least possible draught, with no possibility of being accidentally blocked.
2. Balanced Flue Boilers The Firebird boiler may be set for Room-sealed balanced flue operation using a Firebird balanced flue kit and then does not draw combustion air from inside the room. It is drawn from outside direct to burner by airpipe supplied with boiler.
OIL SUPPLY • This boiler burner is factory set to use 35-second Gas Oil 5-A Oil Storage Tank Siting Consult OFTEC Manual It is very unlikely that a fire should start from a domestic oil tank, however it does need to be protected from a fire which may originate in a building nearby.

OIL SUPPLY 5-D Two Pipe Systems Where installations have the bottom of the tank below the oil burner pump a two pipe system is required. Ensure that valves and filters are not fitted in the return line as this must be unobstructed at all times. The oil burner pump should be set for two pipe operation as detailed in accompanying oil burner manufacturers manual, refer also to page seven of this manual - section 2E+F...
COMMISSIONING Commissioning must be carried out by a Note: OFTEC qualified service engineer. (U.K. Only) It should be noted that it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the boiler is properly commissioned. Failure to do so may invalidate the boiler guarantee and any extended warranty.
SERVICING Servicing must be carried out by a Note: OFTEC qualified engineer. (U.K. Only) 7-A: Recommended Service Intervals 28 second oil Once annually 35 second oil Once annually Before carrying out a service it is recommended that the following is checked: A).
