BOILER OPERATION

3.1
CENTRAL HEATING
1. With a demand for heating, the pump, circulates water
through the primary circuit.
2. Once the main burner ignites the fan speed controls the gas
rate to maintain the heating temperature measured by the
temperature sensors.
3. When the demand is satisfied the burner is extinguished and
a 5 minute delay occurs before the burner will re-light (anti-
cycling), the pump continues to run for a period of 2 minutes
(Pump Overrun).
3.2
FROST PROTECTION MODE
1. Providing there is mains power supply to the appliance, the frost
protection mode is integral.
If the system temperature falls below 5°C then the boiler will fire on
its minimum setting until a flow temperature of 20°C is reached.
Further protection can be incorporated by using a system frost
thermostat.
3.3
PUMP PROTECTION
1. The pump will automatically operate for 1 minute in every 24 hours
to prevent sticking.
