2.1.9

Function testing

Measuring the ionisation current (fig. 58)

z

Turn the mains power switch to "

0

" (see fig. 51, item 1).

z

Remove the casing.

z

Loosen the connector-and-socket connection of the ionisa-
tion electrode and connect the multimeter in series.

z

On the measuring device, select the µ-direct current range. 
The measuring device must have a resolution of at 
least 1 µA (1 micro ampere).

z

Set mains power switch to "

1

" (see fig. 51, item 1).

z

Set the boiler in to partial load by pressing the service 
button "

A

" once.

z

Measure the ionisation current. The ionisation current 
being checked must measure >2 µA (>2 micro ampere) 
direct current.

z

Enter the reading on the report form.

z

Set the mains power switch to "

0

" (see fig. 51, item 1).

z

Remove multimeter and restore the connector-and-socket 
connection to its original state.

z

Refit the casing and secure the boiler with the radiator key 
(see fig. 59).

z

Set the mains power switch to "

1

" (see fig. 51, item 1).

2.1.10 Handing over

NOTE

During initial start-up and annual servicing, 
make sure that all control, regulating and 
safety devices are in full working order and, if 
applicable, check for correct adjustment.
