COMMISSIONING
28
Note:
Commissioning must be carried out by a
OFTEC qualified service engineer. (U.K. Only)
I t should be noted that it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that the boiler is properly commissioned. Failure to do so may
invalidate the boiler guarantee and any extended warranty.
7-A Procedures
1. Oil Tank
The installation of the oil tank and supply line should comply with all the
instructions shown earlier in this manual. Consult OFTEC Manual - Book
No. 3, Section 2.
If a single supply line is used ensure that the bottom of the tank is above
the burner. A two pipe system should be used where the level of the oil in
the tank may fall below the level of the oil burner pump.
Check and ensure correct grade fuel oil has been supplied.
2. The Burner
A Tigerloop single pipe system may also be used in low-level tank
installations. See page 21 Section 5. Please flush out oil pipe by drawing off
some oil before connecting fuel pipe to burner - otherwise there is a danger
of grit and dirt being forced into the burner pump, resulting in pump
blockage, damage and ‘lock-out’
3. The Boiler
A . Switch off the power supply, ensure that the boiler and system is full of
water, all valves are open and that installation conforms with all Standards,
Regulations and Instructions.
B . Check that boiler baffles are correctly positioned .
C . Check the oil supply by disconnecting the oil supply hose at the burner
and running off a quantity to ensure it is free from air. then bleed air from
burner pump. Refer to section 2, page 7, sketch C, Item-E.
D . If fitted, check that the time switch is ‘ON’ and that both room and
boiler thermostats are calling for heat.
E . Reconnect electrical supply and the boiler should start. If the burner
lock-out activates, this suggests air in the pump. Wait a minute or so and
try again. If lock-out occurs again, air must be bled from the pump pressure
gauge connection point once more.
F . View the burner flame through the sight glass - it should be bright
cream/yellow without any sign of smoke.
G . Run the boiler for about fifteen minutes then take a CO
2
reading and
adjust as necessary.
7-B Handing Over
A thorough check of the system should be made, then the householder
should receive a clear and concise demonstration of the boiler
operation and any system controls.
This manual and burner manufacturers manual plus any other
instructions should be handed over to the user, the guarantee card
should be completed and posted, and the user advised about the
importance of annual servicing.
Commissioning Record - Page 54 - should be completed and a copy
