Alpha InTec C and X - Commissioning

5.8  FINAL ASSEMBLY

1.  Raise the control panel and secure in position with the screws provided.
 

Note: 

If the wall jig is used, fit the bottom t ay over the base of the boiler.

2.  If the boiler is to be left in service with the User, set the controls, clock (if fitted, see User's Ope ating manual) and room 

thermostat (if fitted) to the User's requirement .

3.  If the boiler is not to be handed over immediately, close the boiler gas service cock and switch off the electrical supply.
4.  If there is any possibility of the boiler being left during frost conditions, then the boiler and system should be drained 

(refer to Section 7.2). It is recommended that a label is attached to the boiler drawing attention to the fact that the 
system has been drained.

5.  Complete the details of the installation in the Benchmark Checklist at the back of these instructions.

5.9  USER INFORMATION

The User must be advised (and demonstrated if necessary) of the following important points:-
1.  How to light and turn off the boiler and how to operate the system controls.
2.  The importance of annual servicing of the boiler to ensure safe and efficient ope ation.
3.  That any servicing or replacement of parts must only be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
4.  Ensure that the boiler controls and room thermostat (if fitted) are set to the User's requirement .
5.  Tell the User about the sealed system pressure.
6.  Tell the User that if the electrical supply is on and the boiler has not operated for 24 hours for heating or hot water, the 

pump will automatically operate for 30 seconds.

7.  Explain to the User that an internal frost thermostat is fitted in the boile , and that the electrical supply to the boiler must 

be left on for the thermostat to operate, i.e. the boiler must be set to standby.

8.  Explain to the User that in certain weather conditions the terminal will emit a plume of steam, i.e. water vapour. This is 

safe and quite normal.

9.  Show the User the position of the pressure relief valve and condensate discharge pipes.
10.  Hand the User's instructions to the User.
11.  Ensure the Benchmark Checklist at the back of these instructions has been completed after the boiler has been 

installed and commissioned.

 

Note: 

It is a requirement that the installation is registered by the installer through the Gas Safe Gas Work Notification

Scheme.

12.  Leave these Installation and Servicing instructions with the User for use on future calls.
