  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction These instructions describe the functioning, installation, use and primary maintenance of ATLANTIC BOILERS units for the United Kingdom and Ireland. Where necessary the different regulations for each country are separately described. These instructions are intended for the use by Corgi registered installers or registered Bord Gas installers in connection with the installation and putting into operation of ATLANTIC units.
  • Page 5 The current, Electricity at Work Regulation must be complied with and also be in accordance with the relevant and current editions of the British Standards. The Q Series boiler is a certified appliance and must not be modified or installed in any way contrary to this Installation Manual.

  • Page 7: Mounting The Boiler

    Mounting the boiler The room where the boiler will be placed must always be frost free. It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air vent in the room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which the boiler is installed, due to the extremely low surface temperature of the boiler casing during operation.

  • Page 10: Connecting The Boiler

    Connecting the boiler The boiler has the following connection pipes; The central heating pipes. These can be connected to the installation by means of compression fittings; The gas pipe. It is provided with a female thread into which the tail piece of the gas valve can be screwed;...
  • Page 11 If the installation resistance is higher than the stated value the pump will rotate at maximum pump capacity and the load will be adjusted until an acceptable temperature difference between flow and return water has been obtained. If, after this, the temperature difference remains to much then the boiler will switch itself off and wait until an acceptable temperature has arisen.
  • Page 12: Expansion Vessel

    Expansion vessel The central heating system must be provided with an expansion vessel. The expansion vessel which is used should be geared to the water content of the installation. The pre- charge pressure depends on the installation height above the mounted expansion vessel.
  • Page 13: Expansion Vessel Module

    By this means the external expansion vessel is not required. This expansion vessel module is placed behind the Q SERIES boiler, by which means the expansion vessel is not noticeable. The content of the two expansion vessels is 20 litres. The pre-charge...
  • Page 14: Underfloor Heating System (Plastic Pipes)

    Make sure that the gas pipe work does not contain dirt, particularly with new pipes. When the boiler has to be converted from natural gas to LPG, ATLANTIC BOILERS provides special kits for this purpose. Special instructions are supplied with the kit.
  • Page 15: Condensation Drain Pipe

    Condensation drain pipe ATLANTIC BOILERS produce condensate. This condensate must be drained otherwise the boiler will not function. The collecting condensation drain pipe should be connected to the drain by means of an open connection. By this means the possibility of drain gases ending up in the boiler is prevented.
  • Page 16: Flue Gas Exhaust System And Air Supply System

    6.7 Flue gas exhaust system and air supply system The flue gas exhaust system and air supply system consists of: Flue gas pipe; Air supply pipe; Roof or wall terminal.

  • Page 20: External Hot Water Cylinders

    External hot water cylinders Depending of the comfort preferences different external hot water cylinders can be connected to the boiler. The choice of the cylinder depends on the coil output. The coil output must comply with the boiler output. A cylinder which is used in combination with a Q 51S or Q 60S, should have a minimal capacity of 40 kW resp.
  • Page 21: Electrical Connection

    Electrical connection The appliance complies with the CE Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC. The EC Low Voltage Directive 72/23/EEC and the EC EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. A 230V -50Hz mains electrical supply is required fused externally at 5A. The installation must continue to comply with: United Kingdom: the national rules for electrical installations.

  • Page 26: Commissioning The Boiler

    11 Commissioning the boiler Before the boiler is fired, ensure that the boiler and the system are well vented and free of air. Purge the gas line between the gas meter and the boiler and carry out a gas soundness test as specified in the current Gas Safety Regulations. The boiler does not require adjustment of the burner pressure and air quantity because it is self adjusting and is factory set at the correct value.

  • Page 30: Isolating The Boiler

    Isolating the boiler In some situations it may be that the entire boiler must be switched off. By switching off the three keys with the lamps for central heating, hot water and pump programme ), the boiler is switched off. Leave the plug in the wall socket, which means the circulation pump and the three-way valve are activated once every 24 hours in order to prevent jamming.

    Turn the upper measuring nipple on the gas valve open (fig. 12); Connect the hose of the digital pressure gauge to the upper measuring nipple of the gas valve Press the + key until the maximum value is achieved; The fan will function to its maximum revolutions (burner stays off) Measure the under pressure and write down this value.
  • Page 32: Checking The Co

    13.3 Checking the CO The CO percentage is factory-set. This has to be checked at commissioning, maintenance and faults. This can be checked by means of the following procedure: Remove the black cover of the gas valve by unscrewing the sealed screw. Put the boiler into operation and take care that it can deliver its heat;...
  • Page 33: Maintenance

    14 Maintenance Maintenance or changes to the unit may only be carried out by an authorised technician. 14.1 The frequency of maintenance We advise that an inspection is carried out every year with an overhaul every three years, depending from the running hours mentioned in the warranty conditions. When doing this the circumstances of the boiler’s location must be taken into account.
  • Page 34: Maintenance Activities

    Ignition electrode The replacement of the electrode is only necessary when the electrode is worn off. This can be checked by measuring the ionisation current. The minimum ionisation current has to be higher the 4µA on full load. If the viewing glass is damaged the complete electrode must be replaced. Replacement goes as follows: remove the electrical connections of the electrode;...
