When the system is operating in Central Heating Mode, cold water which comes from Central Heating Return pipe is directed to pump inlet. Water reaches to inlet of primary heat exchanger from outlet of pump. With heat transfer in primary heat exchanger, hot water is supplied.

    4. COMMISSIONING 4.1. Filling When cold, system pressure should be about 1 bar. If while running venting off of air dissolved in the water causes the pressure of the central heating system to drop below the minimum level described above, the user must utilise a filling loop to bring it back to the original value. During operation, water pressure in the boiler when hot should be about 1 - 2 bars.
  • Page 18 COMMISSIONING The commissioning and first firing of the boiler must only be done by a competent person. Gas installation It is recommended that any air is purged from the supply at the gas inlet test point on the gas valve, see diagram 20. Filling the system Diagram 20 Open the boiler isolating valves.

    COMMISSIONING 4.3. Lighting the boiler Make sure that: The boiler is connected to the electrical supply. The gas service cock is open. Then follow the instructions below : Turn on the mode selector knob The pressure must be between 1 and 2 bar. If not, the system must be filled by a competent person. To stop boiler turn the selector knob off.

    4.6. Setting the maximum heating temperature The maximum heating temperature can be preset at MAX RIS commissioning stage to suit the type of heating system. For example, for use with underfloor heating, the maximum heating temperature can be set to 40 o C. To adjust the maximum temperature, proceed as follows: Remove the jumper cap from the rear of the control panel to gain access to jumper JP3 (see diagram 31).

    Rotate the domestic hot water adjustment knob left or right to adjust the maximum temperature of the sanitary water (35 o C to 65 o C). For increasing rotate the knob in clockwise and for decreasing rotate in anti-clockwise. Diagram 33 Rotate the central heating adjustment knob left or right to adjust the maximum temperature of the heating (30 o C to 85 o C).

    5. SETTINGS Gas valve setting All boilers are tested and factory set during manufacture. Should it be necessary to reset a gas valve, for example, after replacement, proceed as follows: Shut down boiler. Minimum setting (See values on table A) Remove electrical connectors from the modulating Diagram 35 gas valve coil, see diagram 35.
