Perform emissions measurement Emission measurement
8.2 Perform emissions measurement
Clean the boiler 3 to 5 days before measuring
emissions.
Thoroughly clean the boiler and flue pipe 3 to 5 days
before the emissions measurement. Once this is
complete, resume heating as usual.
This delay between cleaning and measurement
is necessary in order to allow dust disturbed
during cleaning to settle again. If the chimney sweep
measures unsettled dust, the dust reading will be
higher than normal and thus inaccurate.
CAUTION!

Under no circumstances clean the boiler and flue
pipe on the day of the measurement!
Allow the boiler and heating system to cool down
Stop heating mode about 6 to 8 hours before
measuring emissions. Also switch off any other oil or
gas burners in the heating system. This allows the
boiler to cool down, and the additional water in the
boiler is used to discharge heat during emissions mea-
surement. The heating system will also cool down and
the heat generated during emissions measurement will
be directed safely to the consumers.
If enough heat is already removed during regular
heating mode (in winter, for example), shutting
down before the emissions measurement may not be
necessary. Then the generated heat can be safely
removed.
Ensure sufficient heat consumption
Open all radiator valves and turn all radiator and room
thermostats to the maximum.
Switch the heating circuits to continuous "Day"
operation and increase the room target
temperature at the room sensor or in the controller so
the heating circuits will continue to consume heat even
during the transitional period. After measuring
emissions, switch back to the original operating mode
and room temperature.
Preparing and performing emissions
measurement
1. The boiler must be switched on with the On/Off
switch. In the boiler overview, press the
[Measurement] button in order to open the
emissions measurement settings window.
Fig. 8-3: Settings window for emissions measurement
2. Use the [Begin measurement] button to enter
the date agreed for chimney sweeping. The boiler
will then start in time to reach the permissible
operating temperature for measurement purposes.
By pressing the [Start now]
button, the boiler
will immediately begin preparations for measure-
ment.
In addition, the locking time of the boiler can be
adjusted (
[Lock duration] button). This is based
on the selected measurement time. During this
period no heating operation will be started, so that
the heating system has time to cool down.
Example: If a time of 17:00 is set for emissions
measurement and at [Lock duration] 8 h, heating
will end at 09:00 .
Set the locking time so that the boiler cannot
be started in the morning on the day of mea-
surement. Example: If the measurement will take
place at 2:00 pm , select a locking time of 8 hrs so
that heating mode will stop at 6:00 am .
3. Once the date has been entered, it will appear in
the boiler overview. The boiler will then start in time
to reach the permissible operating temperature for
measurement purposes.

4. If the boiler is ready for emissions measurement, a
corresponding message will appear on the screen.
In addition, a countdown for the emissions
