D.h.w. flow switch, filter and flow
limiter
14.1
Function
The d.h.w. flow switch
A
in Fig. 14.1 is a device that
generates an electrical signal when hot water is drawn.

Fig. 14.1
When the flow rate through the d.h.w. circuit reaches
about 2,5 litres/min’, the float 5 (Fig. 14.3) is dragged
upwards and the magnetic in it, getting closer to the
sensor 8 closes the electric contact.

Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains
electricity supply before removing any
covering or component.
n
Sensor operation
1
Remove the front panel of the case.
2
Measure the electrical resistance at the leads of
the sensor. Without water being drawn, the con-
tact must be open. By opening a hot water tap the
contact must be close (electrical resistance zero
8
).

Removal of the
sensor
Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains
electricity supply before removing any
covering or component.
1
Remove the front panel of the case.
2
Disconnect the connectors
B
and remove the
sensor holder spring
C
(Fig. 14.2).
3
Remove the sensor.
14.5
Removal of the flow switch group and
d.h.w. circuit filter
Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains
electricity supply before removing any
covering or component.
1
Remove the front panel of the case and empty the
d.h.w. circuit.
2
Remove the sensor (see section 14.4).
3
Remove the fork
D
and pull up the flow switch
plug 1 with the help of a screwdriver.
4
To remove the filter from the flow switch group
separate the filter 6 from the body 4 (Fig. 14.3) by
levering it.
5
Reassemble the parts following the removing se-
quence in reverse order.
14.6
