  • Page 10: Description Of Principal Components

    MHS Boilers Ltd © 2.2.1 Description of principal components The boiler is constructed from the following principal components: Fan [26] The DC fan, which is equipped with a speed feedback, draws in the combustion air and increases the air pressure. The speed feedback signal is relayed to the regulator, which adjusts the speed if need be.

    MHS Boilers Ltd © Frame [17] The frame is constructed from steel profile sections and is fitted with vibration absorbing adjusting feet [16]. Casing [1] The casing consists of easy-to-remove panels. Once the cover has been opened (using tools), all other panels can be removed without using tools.
  • Page 12 MHS Boilers Ltd © The appliance must be installed by a recognised installer in accordance with the applicable national and local regulations. The installation may only be used for heating systems up to a maximum water temperature of 90°C. It is expressly stated that these installation instructions must be seen as a supplement to the above mentioned standards and regulations and that these standards and regulations must take precedence over any information included in this technical manual.
  • Page 13: Delivery And Transport

    MHS Boilers Ltd © Installation The appliance must be installed by an authorised installer in accordance with the applicable national and local specifications and regulations. Carefully follow all the safety instructions. Operation In the event of a gas leak, switch off the unit and close the gas supply valve. Open doors and windows and warn the appropriate authorities.
  • Page 14: Installation

    The appliance must be installed by a recognised installer in accordance with the applicable national and local specifications and regulations. Commissioning should be carried out by the Technical Service Department of MHS Boilers Ltd, who can also determine the composition and quality of the system water.
  • Page 15: Electrical Connection

    MHS Boilers Ltd © national and local standards and regulations. The gas connection is made at the rear of the boiler. The pressure of the gas supplied to the unit must be reduced to 20 mbar for natural or 37 mbar for propane with the use of a gas pressure regulator.
  • Page 16 MHS Boilers Ltd © At the exits from the boiler room. In the event of a calamity, the power supply to the unit can be switched off. In order to prevent malfunctions occurring as a result of inductive or high frequency signals, or static electricity, screened cables must be employed for all low voltage and control signals between the boiler and externally connected units.

The terminals 35 - 36 must not be interconnected. The purpose of this function, in comparison with the calorifier thermostat, is to make possible a night time temperature reduction and an anti-legionella switching (only with BME, E6 or KKM).
  • Page 19: General

    MHS Boilers Ltd © 5.3.4.1 General Guide lines and installation instructions The flue gas discharge and the air supply systems must be installed by a recognised installer in accordance with the applicable national regulations. The total resistance of the air supply and the flue should not result in a pressure drop exceeding 1.8 mbar (types 73 and 90) or 1.0 mbar (types 115 to 287).
  • Page 20 MHS Boilers Ltd © Table 4 Air supply connection The connection to the air supply pipe is always mounted on the back of the unit. Multiple units may not be connected to the same air supply or flue pipe. To prevent snow entering, the air supply pipe must extend at least 300 mm above the roof and must be fitted with a rain cap.

    MHS Boilers Ltd © 5.3.5 The Flue system 5.3.5.1 General The flue system must be installed by a recognised installer in accordance with the applicable national regulations. The flue pipe connection is at the back of the appliance and has been designed for direct connection to a corrosion resisting flue pipe.
  • Page 22 MHS Boilers Ltd © The degree of cooling of the flue gasses depends on: a the insulation value of the chimney b the local ambient temperature c the discharge system. The flue connection diameters of the units have been chosen such that the speed of the flue gas will always be approximately 5 m/s.

    MHS Boilers Ltd © 5.4.5 Water quality The composition and quality of the system water has a direct influence on the performance of the whole system and the life of the appliance. Unsuitable addition and use of chemicals, water softeners, oxygen binders, de-aerators, aerators, and water filters all increase the possibility of faults.

    MHS Boilers Ltd © The chloride concentration must not exceed 200 mg/l. If this level is exceeded, the cause must be located. Compare the chloride concentration of the additional water with that of the system water. If this concentration is higher, this indicates evaporation if no chloride containing materials have been added.
