INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION The Protherm 80E is a wall mounted combination boiler providing central heating and instantaneous domestic hot water. The boiler is of the II category for use with Natural gas (G20) as distributed in the United Kingdom, or with Butane 2H3+ or Propane gas (G30/G31) with the appropriate conversion kit.
INSTALLATION SECTION Clearances To allow for servicing, the boiler should be installed with the following clearances: 50 mm either side of the boiler 600 mm to the front of the boiler 300 mm below the boiler 200 mm above the boiler TERMINAL POSITION The minimum acceptable spacings from the terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are shown in dia- gram 5 below:...
HEATING SYSTEM DESIGN The Protherm 80E is compatible with any type of sealed system installation, i.e. radiators, fan convectors etc. Pipe sectional areas shall be determined in accordance with normal practices, using the pump curve, refer to ‘Technical Data’. The distribution system shall be calculated in accordance with the output requirements of the actual system, not the maximum output of the boiler.
Safety valve discharge WARNING: It must not discharge above an entrance or window or any type of public access area. Connect the safety valve discharge pipe to the valve, the discharge must be extended using not less than 15 mm o.d.

To reset the boiler (other than for overheating) use the reset button on the fascia, see diagram 15. The Protherm 80E boiler has a built-in frost protection device that protects the boiler during freezing conditions. This device works irrespective of any room ther- mostat setting and only protects the boiler.
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the boiler, it is recommended that it is checked and serviced at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon the installation conditions and usage but, in general, once a year should be enough.
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS To gain access to the boiler components, proceed as follows: • Isolate boiler from electrical supply. • Remove outer case, if necessary sealed chamber cover, combustion chamber cover and side covers, see ‘Routine cleaning and inspection’. • Gently squeeze metal clip securing the control panel box, lift it up and hinge down.

To replace pump Drain down heating circuit only of boiler as follows: • From below boiler, close isolating valves on flow and return con- nections to boiler. • Open boiler drain valve on left hand side of hydraulic block. Note: It is not necessary to drain down entire heating circuit to carry out this work.

To replace hot water thermistor • Pull off electrical connections from thermistor and unscrew thermistor (b) from left part of hydraulic block, see diagram 21. • Remove gas valve module as described previously. • Fit replacement thermistor in reverse order to removal. Note: The polarity of the connections is not important.
FAULT FINDING Before fault finding, make sure that: – All gas cocks are open and there is an inlet gas pressure of 20 mbar (G 20). – The heating system pressure is at least 1 bar. – There is a permanent mains supply to the boiler. –...
