12.1 function
The Primary circuit pressure switch (A in Figure 12.1) function
is to check the presence of water in the primary hydraulic circuit
and that the pressure is above the minimum.

A
This device is connected to the electronic control p.c.b. and if, it
does not activate the control board will indicate that a fault condi-
tion (see section "Operation lights" page 22) has occurred.
12.2 Checks
Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains electrici-
ty supply before removing any covering or compo-
nent.
Electrical check
It is possible to verify the general operation of the switch by
measuring the electric resistance between the contacts C and
N.O. of the switch.
1 Measure the electrical resistance between the tabs marked C
and N.O. (Figure 12.2).
The contact must close (resistance zero) with c.h. pressure of
0,35 bar or higher.

12.3 Removal
Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains electrici-
ty supply before removing any covering or compo-
nent.
1 Remove the front and right hand side panels of the case, turn

circuit.
2 Remove the fixing spring B (Figure 12.3) and remove the pri-
