6.9.3 Internal Pump The pump has a speed regulator adjusted to the highest setting: Do not change this setting! The S -CB has a built-in pump control with a standard 3-minute over run. The pump will work at top speed when heat is required. When heat is no longer required, the pump will continue to run for another 3 minutes.
Primary Pump on/off control must not be used See below Connector strip Strebel S-CB C = Common HD = Heat Demand/Run LO = Lock Out Heating curve When an outside temperature sensor has been connected, the boiler will respond to the program of weather...

Pressure Gauge – 0 to 6 bar .Filling pressure minimum: 0.5 bar. 2. Control knob with indication: “CH”- Setting maximum Flow temperature With this knob, the max flow temperature of the Central Heating can be adjusted even when using 0 to 10 volt control.

8.3 Run and fault Information and Display Meanings Display Two kinds of information may be displayed: a. Display codes Steady and not Flashing on and off. When a code is displayed, it means that there is a heat demand (except the code 0), but the boiler is not working, example, because the temperature is higher than the set temperature.
• Fill water: if desired use X100 (only) additive to the water for the central heating. The pH value should be higher than 5 (if not, we suggest you contact Strebel).Test the water. Use additive as required • Thoroughly flush out the central heating system removing all traces of flux and debris.

IF the setting takes more than 30 minutes the Boiler will return to auto mode. If so, press the SERVICE button again. Also for returning to the normal menu press SERVICE. Set the Boiler via measuring the CO 2 percentage (as shown in the table 4a below), and gas consumption rate. Comment: Measurement of the emissions and CO 2 percentage is via the measuring point in the flue gas pipe, (after unscrewing the plastic cap).
8.7.2 Setting the minimum output Set the minimum load once the maximum load has been set. In service mode turn the CH knob until the minimum RPM setting has been reached (20 on the display). In order to set or adjust the minimum load, twist the screw [1] for the minimum setting.
9. LONG TERM SHUTDOWN It is recommended to leave the boiler turned on all year round to prevent frost damage in winter and moving parts seizing due to corrosion during other times of the year. To switch the boiler off break the frost protected control circuit (by others) or turn the room thermostat down (minimum power consumption is now assured);...
10. LOCK OUT As the burner control goes into Lock Out, the display will show a code (see also 8.3 page 27) which corresponds with the cause of the error; the table below shows the errors. Only by pressing the “Reset-button” the boiler can be reactivated. Meaning Code on Possible cause of the Lock Out...
11. TROUBLESHOOTING 11.1 Cause of the fault The faults listed on page 33 may have the following causes. Table 6 : Causes of faults Room thermostat incorrectly connected. Room thermostat not turning off, short-circuit in cable. Sensor causing short-circuit in cable or internally. Pump not running;...

Causes of faults table (cont’d) Setting of the RPM switch of the pump is too low. Sensors changed around (return sensor -S2 and hot water sensor S5). Fuse F1.Automatic re set Fuse F2 Automatic re set Line voltage 230 VAC. Parameter(s) in the installer program entered incorrectly.
11.2 Troubleshooting table Numbers are corresponding with Table 7 Table 7: Troubleshooting table Check cable or replace the cable, check that the cable is connected to the correct connector strip. Replace room thermostat or cable: has the correct thermostat been used? Replace sensor or find cable fault.
Page 37
Troubleshooting table (cont’d) Remove the burner control from the boiler by: Removing the ignition cable from the electrode and remove the cable from the console b. Removing the wiring from the spiral – 1X2-pole plug, 1X8-pole plug and the 230V-plug (right side of the front).
12 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 12.1 General The boiler requires inspection at least once every 12 months. As a rule of thumb, inspection/maintenance is to be carried out when the boiler generates a number of similar error codes. 12.2 Inspection (Items J K L Major Service) An inspection should cover at least the following matters.
12.3 Maintenance Depending on the outcome of the inspection, (preventative) maintenance should be considered. Reasons may be: ref. a. Comments and notes from the customer should be taken seriously and an effort should be made to find the cause of any deficiencies and problems. ref.
Boilers with a single gas valve: SCB 60 up to 120 kW: - Converting from Nat. gas to LPG: Turn the small "throttle"(see page 29) screw 2 clockwise about nr. 4 half turns. press the service switch (with a pen). The appliance should start: when there is no ignition, open the throttle 2 (anti - clockwise) with about another half turn.
Boilers with a double gas valve: SCB 150 and 180 kW - Converting from Nat. gas to LPG: 1. Disconnect electrically the left hand gas valve, by separating the white plug and contra plug of the left hand gas valve. 2.
