Remote appliance diagnostic system
This appliance is capable of automatically communicating
operational data to a central computer processing system via
the house ring main and telephone line, known as 'Remote
Appliance Diagnostic System' (RADS).
The information is transmitted in the early hours of the morning
once every 30 days, or immediately if the boiler develops a
fault.
If an attempt is made to use the telephone during the
transmission, some interference will be heard. In this event
replace the receiver and try again after 30 seconds.

correctly fitted and forming an adequate seal.
b.
If the boiler is installed in a compartment then the

c.
The ventilation provided for the boiler during installation
MUST NOT be blocked, and a check should be made
periodically that the ventilation areas are free from any
obstruction.
d.
If it is known or suspected that a fault exists on the boiler
then it MUST NOT be used until the fault has been corrected
by a CORGI registered installer.

each intervention on the device. Only the manufacturer's
original parts should be used for replacement.
