About the appliance Introduction About the appliance This manual describes how to install, service and use the SCE appliance. The SCE appliance is a gas-fired open water heater without a fan. The SCE appliance is fitted with a flue gas backflow safeguard and falls into the appliance category B11BS.
Introduction Furthermore, the installation must comply with the manufacturer’s instructions. Note Later amendments and/or additions to all regulations, requirements and guidelines published on or prior to the moment of installing, will apply to the installation. Target groups The three target groups for this manual are: •...

The appliance’s heating cycle The gas required for combustion flows into the manifold via the gas control l. Orifices are located within the manifold. Via these orifices, the gas enters the bar burners C. The bar burners together form the burner tray. As the gas is injected into the bar burners, the primary air required for combustion is also drawn in .
Functioning of the appliance 2.4.1 Water temperature protection By means of the frost, high-limit and safety thermostats, the burner control monitors three temperatures related to safety. See Table 2.1. Table 2.1 Temperature protection Protection Description Frost thermostat If the frost thermostat sensor y detects a temperature of 20°C or lower, the appliance’s heating cycle will start.
Safety of the installation prevents water from flowing backwards from the tank into the cold water supply system. The pressure reducing valve protects the installation against an excessively high water supply pressure (> 8 bar). These components are fitted to the cold water pipe. See paragraph ’3.6.1 Cold water side’.

Installation Water connections, Unvented 3.6.1 Cold water side See a in Figure 3.2. 1. Fit an approved stop valve i on the cold water side as required by regulations. Refer also to paragraph ’1.3 Regulations’. 2. The maximum working pressure of the appliance is 8 bar. Because the pressure in the water pipe at times can exceed 8 bar, you must fit an approved pressure-reducing valve a.
Water connections, Vented 3.6.5 Circulation pipe See c in Figure 3.2 Figure 3.3. If an immediate flow of hot water is required at draw-off points, a circulation pump can be installed. This improves comfort and reduces water wastage. 1. Fit a circulation pump f of the correct capacity for the length and resistance of the circulation system.
Installation 3. Fit two stop valves d for service purposes. 4. Connect the circulation pipe to the cold water supply pipe. Gas connection Warning Gas installation may only be carried out by an authorised installer in compliance with the general regulations imposed by the gas company. Refer also to paragraph ’1.3 Regulations’.

Installation 3.9.3 Flue gas thermostat assembly The flue gas thermostat sensor is already mounted in the draught diverter. The bracket with thermostat needs to be mounted on the top of the unit and the cable from the thermostat needs to be connected with the connector on the unit. Warning If the flue gas thermostat is not (or is incorrectly) fitted/connected, the flue gas discharge will not be protected.
Electrical connection 3. Connect the connector from the flue gas thermostat f to the connector on the appliance g. 3.10 Electrical connection Warning The installation should be carried out by an approved installer in compliance with the general and local regulations imposed by the gas, water and power supply companies and the fire service.

Checking the supply pressure and burner pressure To check the supply pressure and burner pressure, proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains. See paragraph ’7.3.2 Disconnect the appliance from the mains’. 2. On the gas control (Figure 3.6) there are two nipples.
Installation Note If the burner pressure is not correct and the appliance is fitted with a flat sealing plate or high-low control, you will not be able to adjust the pressure. In this case, consult your installer or supplier. If the appliance is fitted with a burner pressure regulator, then the pressure can be adjusted by following steps through 17.

Introduction Status of the appliance Introduction Topics covered in this chapter: • 6.2 Operating modes; • 6.3 Power Anode Status; • 6.4 Error conditions. Operating modes When running, the appliance has three basic operating modes, namely: • DISCONNECTED In this mode the appliance is off and all components are electrically dead. The main switch (switch between the appliance and the power supply) is turned off.
Status of the appliance • Green This state indicates that the Power Anode is working correctly. • This state indicated that the Power Anode is not working properly due to an error. • This state indicates that the Power Anode is not working. Note If there is an error with the Power Anode (Red), or if the Power Anode is not working (Off), this will have no effect on the hot water supply.
