14. Fully open all domestic hot water outlets, vent flexible

hose connections to the washing machine and
dishwasher. Remove air from the domestic hot water
distribution system. If this is not done the internal water
flow switch will not function properly. Test for gas
soundness around the gas components using leak
detector fluid.

15. Check the minimum burner pressure (Table 3) by

disconnecting one of the Modulating Coil electrical
connections (wire colours Red or Black).

Note:

The modulating coil connections are 24V only.

Fig. 18.

16. Reconnect and check maximum burner pressure

against Table 3. If any adjustment is necessary see
Section 3.4, 'Gas Pressure Adjustment'.

Note:

The boiler is so designed that if required the

central heating output can be down rated to the lowest
setting stated on the data plate without affecting the
D.H.W output. If adjustment is required see Section 3.4
'Gas Pressure Adjustment'.

3.4

Gas Pressure Adjustment

Note:

The gas pressures are set at the factory (with

central heating output set at maximum) and should not
require further adjustment. If gas pressure readings are
being obtained which differ from that stated in Table 3,
check the inlet pressure using the inlet pressure test
point on the gas valve (Fig. 18). The inlet pressure
should be checked with the appliance at full gas rate, to
ensure this occurs put a high water flow through the
domestic hot water side of the system.

Note:

Full rate will be achieved with cold water supply

temperatures below 15 °C.

Note:

When checking gas inlet pressure only connect

one tube from the measuring manometer's +ve side
(positive). Do not connect the -ve (negative) tube as
with minimum and maximum pressure readings.

Adjustment of the Modulating Valve

Pressures are measured by connecting the +ve
connection to the gas outlet and -ve connection to the
base of the inner casing as described in Section 3.3 .
Set the pressures to the values in Table 3 by adjusting
the gas valve in the following manner.

Note:

It is important to note the order in which the

maximum and minimum pressures are set.

The maximum pressure must always be set before
adjustment of the minimum pressure.

Adjusting the Maximum Pressure - Fig. 12.

Cut off cable tie retaining modulator Cover.

ii.

Remove Cover (C) by twisting it anticlockwise 90°
and levering off with a small screwdriver.

iii.

With a 10 mm spanner turn nut (B), (Clockwise to
increase pressure). Adjust to the value for
maximum pressure stated in Table 3.

Adjusting the Minimum Pressure - Fig. 12.

This adjustment is only to be made after the maximum
setting has been completed.

Disconnect one of the electrical connections of the
modulating coil and tape. (24V only)

ii.

Using a 10 mm spanner hold nut (B) and adjust
screw (A) with a screwdriver (clockwise rotation will
increase the pressure). Set to the value for
minimum pressure stated in Table 3.

iii.

Reconnect the electrical connection to the
modulator.

iv. Check maximum and minimum settings. Repeat

adjustment if required.

Refit cover (C), snap into place and turn.

After the setting operation remove the pressure gauge
tubes from the gas valve body and inner casing. Refit
the pressure test point screws.

Products Of Combustion Measurement

The combustion performance can be assessed by
placing a suitable sampling probe through the access
hole in the inner casing door whilst the appliance is
running. Typical figures based on a 500 mm flue length
with the boiler operating at maximum output are:-

CO.

0.002 - 0.005%

4.5 - 5.0%

Re-fit the screw in access hole after test.
