Gas leak test 

  Paint all pipe connections upstream of the gas control 

with with a rich soap and water solution.Bubbles indicate 

a gas leak. 

  If a gas leak is detected, tighten the pipe connection. 

  Stand clear while lighting the main burner to prevent 

injury caused from hidden gas leaks, which could cause 

flasback in the appliance vestibule. Light the main burner. 

  With the main burner in operation, paint all pipe joints 

(including adapters) and gas control inlet and outlet with 

with a rich soap and water solutionan approved leak 

detection fluid. 

  If another gas leak is detected, tighten adapter screws, 

joints and pipe connections. 

  Replace the part if gas leak can not be stopped. 

CAUTION 

Keep soap and water solution away from electrical 

connections. 

Electrical connections 

IMPORTANT 

Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical shock 

and/or equipment damage. 

Wiring must be in accordance with local regulations. 

The appliance manufacturer’s instructions should 

always be followed. 

Before installing or replacing any control check that 

type number is correct for the application. 

Ensure combustion chamber is free of gas before 

start up. 

Conduct a thorough check out when installation is 

completed. 

At the first start the ignition control can be in lock- 

out; depress reset button to free the ignition control. 

Wiring 

  Use leadwire which can withstand 105 °C ambient. 

  Use leadwire which is proven against moisture. 

  Wiring between ignition control and spark sensing probe 

should have good quality insulation, suitable for the 

temperatures encountered. 

Fusing 

In order to prevent unsafe conditions at too high current, the 

ignition control has an integral non replaceable fuse. 

This fuse will be blown long before the maximum 16 A 

external fuse switches off. 

Sparkgap 

Max. allowable spark gap 3.5 mm 

Supply voltage polarity 

WARNING 

If ignition control seems to operate normally but does 

not detect flame, check for right polarity of power 

supply (line, neutral). 

Checking flame current 

  The minimum value should be in accordance with the 

specified value of the ignition control. 

  To check flame current connect a DC micro-Ampèremeter 

between flame sensing wire and flame sensing rod. 

  If flame current is insufficient check that flame sensing 

rod is fully enveloped by the flame and that burner is 

reliable grounded to ignition control. 

  If there is no sufficient flame current due to phase-phase 

mains it is recommandable to use a AT7030A or AT7030B 

flame detection transformer. See also EN1R-9136 

instruction sheet AT7030.

ADJUSTMENTS 

 

WARNING 

Adjustments must be made by qualified persons only. 
If the appliance manufacturer supplies checkout and/ 

or service and maintenance instructions carefully 

follow them. 
If such instructions are not provided then use the 

procedure outlined below. 
Adjustment can only be made with a special tool. 

Pressure tap 

The gas control is provided with a pressure tap of 9 mm O.D. 

at inlet and outlet side. 
When checking the pressure undo the screw a half turn and 

slip tube over nipple. 

Ensure that screw is retightened after making test. 

 

CAUTION 

To ensure a safe closing of the valves, it is essential 

that voltage over the terminals of electric operators is 

reduced to 0 Volt. 

Offset adjustment VK41..V(B)/VK81..V(B) (see fig. 1.) 

  Remove cap screw with a Torx T-40 screw driver or 5 mm 

hex key to expose offset adjustment screw. 

  Check gas supply pressure to the appliance using a 

pressure gauge connected to the inlet pressure tap. 

  Start fan and check air flow. 

  Energize both electric operators in order to have gas input 

to burner and ignite boiler. 

  Adjust CO

% at the desired value at low output with 

offset adjustment screw. Turn offset adjustment screw 

clockwise to increase CO

%. 

  Operate boiler on high output. (Only modulating 

applications). 

  Replace cap screw and tighten pressure taps.
