Installation & Servicing

61  IGNITION/DETECTION ELECTRODE TESTING/REPLACEMENT

1. 

Refer to Frame 49.

2. 

Remove the jacket front and inner front panels.  Refer to 

Frame 52.

3. 

It is possible to measure the ionisation current with a 

voltmeter set at 0-10VDC.  (0-10VDC = 0-10 micro amps 

ionisation current).

4.

  With the boiler running, connect a meter between the 

terminal marked     and earth.

5. 

A reading below 3V indicates a fault.

6. 

To replace the ignition/detection electrode remove the 

controls fascia, pull off the HT and earth leads from the 

spark/detection electrode.

7.

  Remove the 2 nuts and washers.

8. 

Check the electrode gap is 4.0mm.

9.

  Replace the electrode using the new gasket provided.

10.

 Re-assemble in reverse order.

11. 

Refer to Frame 49 for final safety checks.

62  PRESSURE GAUGE REPLACEMENT (MASTER BOILER ONLY)

1. 

Refer to Frame 49, then:

2. 

Remove the jacket front, control fascia, 

top, and right side panels.  (Refer to 

Frame 52).

3.

  Unscrew the nut retaining the capillary 

from the self sealing fitting.  (Refer to 

'A' in Frame 63).

4. 

Compress the retaining lugs and push 

forwards to remove the gauge from the 

bracket.

5.

  Replace the pressure gauge.

6.

  Reassemble in reverse order.

7. 

Refer to Frame 49 for final safety 

checks.
