3
/hr (46 ft
3
/hr or propane gas (G31). The gas meter and supply
pipes must be capable of supplying this quantity of gas in
addition to the demands of any other appliances being served.
The meter governor should deliver a dynamic pressure of 20
mbar (8in wg.) for natural gas or 37 mbar (14.4 in wg.) for
propane.
The complete installation, including the gas meter, must be
tested for soundness and purged. Refer to BS 6891.
2.7 PACKING
The appliance and flue components are packed in separate
cartons.
2.8 GENERAL INSTALLATION
The appliance is for connection to a sealed or open vented
primary system.
The specified ventilation openings made into a wall or
compartment door must not be obstructed.
If the appliance is to be fitted into a compartment then the
compartment must conform to the requirements of
BS
.
5440:2:1989.
Notwithstanding the instructions given in BS
.
5440:2:1989, this
appliance may be fitted in a compartment with no vents as long
as the minimum clearances stated in Section 6: Air Supply, are
maintained.
Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
The clearances specified for servicing must be maintained.
2.9 FLUE
The appliance has a multi-directional horizontal fanned flue
system.
The standard flue assembly length is from 100mm to 650mm.
Extension flue lengths available are from 651mm to 3000mm.
A terminal guard, Type K2, GC 393 553, is available from Tower
Flue Components, Vale Rise, Tonbridge,TN9 1TB.
Do not allow the flue terminal fitted to the outside wall to
become obstructed or damaged.
A kit for internal fixing of the flue is available separately.
2.10 CONTROLS
The electronic control system and gas valve modulate the heat
input in response to the central heating and domestic hot water
temperature settings between minimum and maximum.
The ON/OFF switch will turn the mains electricity on and off to
the appliance.
The Central Heating Temperature control knob provides for the
selection of domestic hot water only (Turned fully anti-clockwise)
or central heating and domestic hot water (Turned clockwise).
Facia mounted programmers are available as an optional extra.
A remote mounted programmer may be connected to the
appliance.
The integral facia displays indicate the status of the appliance.
There is provision for the connection of a mains voltage room
thermostat and/or a frost thermostat.
The electronic controls prevent rapid cycling of the appliance in
the central heating mode.
2.11 SYSTEM NOTES
IMPORTANT
Check that no dirt is left in either the gas or water pipework as
this could cause damage to the appliance. Thoroughly flush the
heating system and the cold water mains supply in accordance
with the recommendations of BS7593: 1992
Purge the gas supply before finally connecting the appliance.
The water pipe connections throughout a sealed system must be
capable of sustaining a pressure of up to 3 bar.
Radiator valves must conform to the requirements of BS 2767 1991.
The relief valve discharge must be directed away from any electrical
components or where it would cause a hazard to the user.
A drain cock to BS 2879 must be fitted to the lowest point of the
system.
For circuit design purposes it is important that due note is taken of
the information given in Table 3 relating to the available pump head.
2.12 SHOWERS, BIDETS, TAPS AND MIXING VALVES
Hot and cold taps and mixing valves used in the system must be
suitable for operating at mains pressure.
Thermostatically controlled shower valves will guard against the
flow of water at too high a temperature.
If using a pressure equalising valve, set the Domestic Hot Water
temperature control knob to the ‘MAX’ position.
Hot and cold mains fed water can be supplied direct to an over-
rim flushing bidet subject to local Water Company requirements.
With all mains fed systems the flow of water from the individual
taps will vary with the number of outlets operated
simultaneously and the cold water mains supply pressure to the
property. Flow balancing using ‘Ball-o-Fix’ type valves is
recommended to avoid an excessive reduction in flow to
individual outlets. For further information contact Worcester
Heat Systems Ltd.
2.13 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The appliance must not be operated in a waterless condition.
The appliance must not be operated with the boiler inner casing
cover removed.
Work must not be carried out on the appliance without the gas
and electricity supplies being switched off.
Checks must be made to ensure that the ventilation openings
made into walls and partitions are of the correct size and are not
obstructed.
2.14 OPERATION
Domestic Hot Water:
With a demand for hot water the burner
will light at its maximum setting and then automatically adjust
its output to maintain the temperature of the delivered water.
When hot water is no longer required, the burner will extinguish.
The fan and pump may continue to run for a short period to
dissipate the residual heat from the appliance.
Central Heating:
With a demand for heating the burner will light
at its minimum setting and gradually increase to give the
maximum output. The output of the appliance is then
automatically adjusted to maintain the temperature of the
system. The output can reduce down to a minimum of 9.0 kW. If
the system no longer requires even the minimum output to
maintain the desired room temperature the burner will
extinguish. The fan and pump may continue to run to dissipate
the residual heat from the appliance. The appliance will remain
off for a fixed period of three minutes before re-lighting to
automatically meet the system requirements.
Domestic Hot Water and Central Heating:
The appliance will
supply heat to the central heating system as required. A demand
for domestic hot water at a tap or shower will override the
central heating requirement for the period of the domestic hot
water demand. When hot water is no longer required the
appliance will return to the central heating state and its normal
mode of operation. The fan may continue to run to dissipate the
residual heat from the appliance as necessary.
