The guarantee is only valid if the device has been used properly and it can be proved that it was installed properly by an expert firm. As proof, we strongly recommend completing the enclosed installation and instruction forms and returning them to ROTEX.
The documents listed below are part of the technical documentation of the gas condensing boiler and must therefore be observed. The documents are included in the scope of supply. – ROTEX A1 BG Inline: Installation and maintenance instructions for the heating expert, – ROTEX Control THETA: Operating instructions for the heating engineer.
• Inform the authorised gas supply company. Proper use The gas condensing boiler ROTEX A1 BG xxi can only be used for the heating of hot water heating systems. The gas condensing boiler must be installed, connected and operated as indicated in this manual.

• Only operate the gas condensing boiler if sufficient combustible air supply is guaranteed. If operating the gas condensing boiler independently of the ambient air with an air/flue gas system (LAS) with dimensions according to ROTEX-Standard, this is automatically guaranteed and there will be no further conditions required of the device installation room.
Operating instructions The ROTEX gas condensing boiler A1 BG xxi is designed in such a way that it can be operated independently of ambient air. The burner sucks the combustible air directly from the outside through an installation shaft or a double-walled flue gas duct. This method has several advantages: –...

Control of the burner output The ROTEX THETA 23R control continually determines the requisite inflow temperature and indicates this to the CVBC automatic firing units of the gas burner. The CVBC automatic firing unit calculates the necessary burner output from the target value and the values of the inflow and return flow temperature sensors.
4 types of hot water storage tanks are available for the gas condensing boilers A1 BG 25i and A1 BG 40i (see Tab. 2-1). Furthermore, the ROTEX Solaris System can be included in the hot water preparation. For further information about the hot water tanks, refer to documents for Sanicube INOX, Sanicube PEX and Solaris.

Control THETA 23R Electronic digital control ROTEX THETA 23R for controlling 2 heating circuits (direct heating circuit, mixer circuit) and a storage tank charging circuit. It contains a switch clock with three individually configurable timer programs per heating circuit. Three more users can be connected to the THETA 23R control (also refer to chapter 2.4).
Selection of one of 3 pre-installed timer programs P1, P2 or P3. You can find a detailed description for adjusting the switching time in the "ROTEX Control“ documentation, which is included in the scope of supply of the gas calorific value boiler.
