TO LIGHT THE BOILER
1.
Check that all the drain cocks are closed and any valves in
the flow and return are open.
2.
Check that the gas service cock (E) is OPEN and the boiler
mains on/off switch is OFF.
3.
Slacken the screw in the burner pressure test point (B) and
connect a gas pressure gauge via a flexible tube.
4.
Switch the electricity supply ON and check that all external
controls are calling for heat.
5.
Set the boiler thermostat knob (G) to position 6. The fan will
start. After the fan has run for a few seconds the pilot solenoid
valve should open and the intermittent spark commence,
continuing until the pilot is established. The main burner will
then cross-light smoothly. If this sequence does not occur,
refer to the Fault Finding section.
6.
Test for gas soundness around ALL boiler gas components
using leak detection fluid.
7.
Operate the boiler for 10 minutes to stabilise the burner
temperature.
8.
The boiler is preset at the factory to its nominal rating.
Refer to Table 2 (page 2). If adjustment is necessary
remove the sealing cap and turn the adjusting screw
clockwise to increase/anticlockwise to decrease the
pressure until the required burner pressure is achieved.
Refit the sealing cap.
9.
Set the boiler mains on/off switch to OFF.
10.
Remove the pressure gauge and tube. Retighten the
sealing screw in the pressure test point.
11.
Turn ON and check for gas soundness at the pressure
test point.
12.
Refit the lower front panel and secure with the 2 fixing
screws.
52 COMMISSIONING AND TESTING
WARNING.
Whilst effecting the required gas soundness test and purging air from the gas installation,
open all windows and doors, extinguish naked lights and
DO NOT SMOKE.
A.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1.
Checks to ensure electrical safety should be carried out
by a competent person.
2.
ALWAYS carry out preliminary electrical system checks,
i.e. earth continuity, polarity, resistance to earth and short
circuit using a suitable test meter.
B.
GAS INSTALLATION
1.
The whole of the gas installation, including the meter,
MUST be inspected and tested for soundness, and purged
in accordance with the recommendations of BS. 6891.
In IE refer to I.S.813:2002.
2.
Purging air from the gas installation may be expedited by
loosening the union on the gas service cock on the boiler
and purging until gas is detected.
3.
Retighten the union and check for gas soundness.
The Benchmark Log Book or equivalent self certification should be completed and signed to demonstrate compliance with
Building Regulations.
