Commissioning - gledhill BoilerMate CP 120 Design, Installation & Servicing Instructions

INSTALLATION
Open the incoming stop valve and fi ll the domestic mains cold and hot water systems
including the BoilerMate CP appliance.
Check the water level in the top up cistern and if a ballvalve is fi tted adjust if necessary.
Check the whole of the domestic hot and cold distribution systems for leaks. Fully
fl ush and if necessary chlorinate the hot and cold water system in accordance with
the recommendations in the Water Regulations and BS EN 806:1-5: BS EN 8558:2011.
Please note that the whole of the domestic hot and cold water systems including
the appliance must be adequately fl ushed after chlorination. Failure to do this can
cause damage to the plate heat exchanger/immersion heaters etc. If there are any
doubts regarding this or the quality of the water being used to fi ll the BoilerMate CP
appliance an inhibitor such as Fernox MBI or Sentinel X100 should be added to the
appliance when fi lling in line with the manufacturers instruction for these products.
Check that the top up tank is fi lled up to the water level shown on the label. If it is a
manual fi ll model, this is most important.
If a ballvalve is provided, turn down the servicing valve once the system is fi nally
fi lled to the point where the warning/overfl ow pipe will cope with the discharge
arising from a ballvalve failure.
If an overfl ow is not provided ensure the temporary fi lling hose is isolated and
removed from its connection to the cold water supply.
It is essential that all systems function properly for optimum performance.
To achieve this the fl ow rate from each tap should be checked and a suitable number of
taps run simultaneously to check the impact of this on the fl ow rate at individual taps.
We recommend that fl ow regulators are provided for each tap/terminal fi tting
to ensure that the available fl ow is shared evenly - See Appendix A for further
details.
Commissioning the BoilerMate CP Control System
It can be checked that the boost immersion heater is drawing current by use of a
clamp meter on the live supply when boost is active.
If the appliance has been connected with the polarity incorrect it will not operate at all.
See the fault fi nding section of the manual for further details.
Run a tap and using a digital thermometer check that the temperature of the hot
water is about 52°C. This temperature is factory set and is independent of the store
temperature assuming the store is above 55°C and typical hot water fl ow rates of
6-15l/min are being drawn.
At the time of commissioning, complete all relevant sections of the Benchmark
Checklist located on the inside back pages of this document.
This must be completed during commissioning and left with the product to meet
the Warranty conditions off ered by Gledhill.
