50 COMMISSIONING AND TESTING

A. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. Checks to ensure electrical safety should be carried
out by a competent person.
2. ALWAYS carry out the preliminary electrical system
checks, i.e. earth continuity, polarity, resistance to
earth and short circuit, using a suitable meter.
WARNING. Whilst effecting the required gas soundness test and purging air from the gas installation, open all

51 INITIAL LIGHTING

1. Check that the system has been filled and the boiler is not
air locked - air in the boiler could damage the heat
exchanger. For this reason the air vent located in the left
top side must never be shut off.
2. Check that all the drain cocks are closed and any valves
in the flow and return are open.
3. Check that the GAS SERVICE COCK IS ON.
4. Unscrew the overheat reset button cap and press the
reset button.
5. Set the boiler thermostat to maximum.
52 GENERAL CHECKS
Make the following checks for correct operation.
1. The correct operation of ANY secondary system controls
should be proved. Operate each control separately and
check that the main burner or circulating pump, as the
case may be responds.
2. Water circulation system;
a. With the system HOT examine all water connections for
soundness.

B. FOR GAS INSTALLATION
1. The whole of the gas installation, including the meter, should
be inspected and tested for soundness and then purged in
accordance with the recommendations of the relevant
standards listed on page 4.
6. Set the summer/winter switch to the winter setting.
7. Switch the electricity supply ON and check that all the external
controls are calling for heat. Set main boiler switch to on.
8. The burner will commence the ignition sequence. If the
burner has failed to light then it will lock out. Press the reset
button to restart the ignition sequence.
9. Operate the boiler for 20 minutes and for gas fired boilers
check the gas rate (Table 1).
10. Refer to the burner instructions for specific operating
features.
b. With the system still HOT, turn off the gas or oil burner,
water and electricity supplies to the boiler and drain
down to complete the flushing process.
c. Refill and vent the system, clear all air locks and again
check for water soundness.
d. Balance the system.
3. Finally set the controls to the User's requirements.
IMPORTANT. Point out the owner that the boiler must have
regular maintenance and cleaning, at least annually, in order
to ensure reliable and efficient operation. Regular attention
will also prolong the life of the boiler and should preferably
be performed at the end of the heating season.
Recommend that a contract for this work should be made
with the regional gas authority or a Gas Safe Registered
Engineer for gas fired boilers.
