7.3 CHECKING THE CO

2

 AND ADJUSTING THE 

GAS VALVE

THE GAS VALVE MUST BE SET-UP OR ADJUSTED WITH THE 

AID OF A PROPERLY CALIBRATED FLUE GAS ANALYSER.

Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply and remove the 

appliance casing as described in 4.7.1. Set the 

fl

 ue gas analyser 

to read CO

2

 and insert the probe into the 

fl

 ue analysis test point 

(

fi

 g. 42). Restore the electrical supply to the boiler and switch 

the boiler to the OFF mode.

Have access to the printed circuit board, locate and open the 

closing plug on the dash board (Q2), locate and press the CO 

button (see 

fi

 g. 46 pos. SW1). Press the button the number of 

times according the function requirement as per 7.3.1.

7.1 CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERATION

When carrying out any repairs or servicing to the appliance, 

the relevant commissioning procedure must be undertaken to 

ensure the continued safe operation of the appliance. Particular 

attention should be made to ensure gas tightness, water tight-

ness and the electrical integrity of the appliance.

7.2 APPLIANCE MODES OF OPERATION

NOTE

There must be suf

fi

 cient system water pressure (min. 0.5 bar) 

to ensure the water pressure switch is activated. If there is in-

suf

fi

 cient system pressure the pump and fan will be prevented 

from operating and the low-pressure fault code will be indicated.

7.2.1 SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE OFF/RESET POSITION

When the selector switch is in the OFF/RESET position, the 

following functions are active.

Active functions

:



frost-protection system



pump & actuator anti-block.

7.2.2 ON-BOARD FUNCTIONS



CO FUNCTION:

 the CO function when activated, will allow the 

appliance to run at CH maximum, DHW maximum or minimum 

output whilst a combustion analysis check or a mechanical gas 

valve calibration is being carried out. Whilst the CO function 

is active, all other functions are disabled (minimum power 

operating period, anti-cycle, set-point, etc). Once enabled, 

the CO function will remain active for a 15-minute period, or 

until the function is manually deactivated 



FROST-PROTECTION: 

this function is only active when 

there are no requests for heating or HW. If the temperature 

drops below 5°C, the boiler will operate on minimum power 

until the temperature of the thermistors reaches 35°C for CH 

and 55°C for DHW. Thereafter the pump & fan will over-run 

for 30-seconds.



ANTI-CYCLE FUNCTION:

 the anti-cycle function ensures the 

burner remains switched off for at least 3-minutes after the 

set-point hysterisis (set-point + 5-deg) for CH heat request.  



PUMP ANTI-BLOCK FUNCTION: 

when there has been no 

heating or HW request for 24-hours, the anti-block cycle is 

activated. The pump will be activated for a period of 30-sec-

onds.



ACTUATOR ANTI-BLOCK FUNCTION: 

when there has been 

no heating or HW request for 24-hours, the anti-block cycle 

is activated. The divertor valve actuator will motor brie

fl

 y to 

the heating position, and then back to the DHW position. The 

pump will run brie

fl

 y.



SARA function:

 the SARA function permits the boiler (when 

the set-point is within the SARA range) to automatically adjust 

(raise) the heating 

fl

 ow outlet temperature should the room 

thermostat contacts remain closed for more that 20-minutes.



DHW PRE-HEAT FUNCTION:

 when the DHW pre-heat func-

tion is enabled, the appliance will light periodically to maintain 

the temperature of the DHW heat exchanger. When the 

DHW thermistor and the primary thermistor fall below 35°C 

and 55°C respectively, the boiler will 

fi

 re on m25% 

power until the primary thermistor exceeds 55°C. Thereafter 

the pump will over-run for a period of 30-seconds.

7.2.3 HEATING MODE

With the selector switch in the heating  & hot water position 

and any additional controls (time clock, programmer, room 

thermostat, etc.) calling for heat, the appliance will operate 

in the heating mode. The pump and fan will be activated via 

the 

fl

 ow temperature sensor. When the fan is sensed to be 

operating correctly (tacho signal), the ignition sequence com-

mences. Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuit to ensure 

fl

 ame stability at the burner. Once successful ignition has been 

achieved, the electronic circuitry increases the gas rate to 75% 

for a period of 15 minutes.

The speed of the fan and therefore the output of the boiler is 

determined by the temperature of the water sensed by the 

fl

 ow temperature sensor, consequently a high temperature at 

the 

fl

 ow sensor results in a lower fan speed. As the water tem-

perature increases, the temperature sensors – located on the 

fl

 ow pipe of the boiler – reduce the fan speed via the electronic 

circuitry. Depending on the load, either the water temperature 

will continue to rise until the set point is achieved or the water 

temperature will fall whereby fan speed will increase relative to 

the output required. When the boiler has reached the set point 

(+ hysterisis), the burner will switch off. The built-in anti-cycle 

device prevents the burner from re-lighting for approximately 

3-minutes. When the temperature of the 

fl

 ow sensor falls below 

the set point (- hysterisis), the burner will re-light.

NOTE

If the spark/sensing electrode does not sense ignition the appli-

ance will re-attempt ignition a further 4-times then go to lockout. 

When the set-point has been reached (the position of the heating 

temperature selector) as measured at the primary thermistor, the 

appliance will begin the modulation phase whereby the fan and 

gas valve will continuously modulate to maintain the set-point.

If the temperature continues to rise and exceeds the set-point 

by 5°C (hysterisis), the burner will shut down. A new ignition 

sequence will be enabled when the 3- minute anti-cycle has 

been performed and the temperature at the primary thermistor 

has dropped 5°C (hysterisis) below the set-point.

7.2.4 DHW MODE

With the selector switch in either the hot water only or heating 

& hot water position, the appliance will operate in the hot water 

mode whenever a DHW outlet is opened. A 

fl

 ow rate exceeding 

2-litres per minute will activate the DHW 

fl

 ow switch whereupon 

the pump and fan will be activated via the 

fl

 ow  temperature 

sensor. When the fan is sensed to be operating correctly (tacho 

signal), the ignition sequence commences. Ignition is sensed 

by the electronic circuitry to ensure 

fl

 ame stability at the burner. 

Once successful ignition has been achieved, the electronic 

circuit allows the gas rate to achieve the modulation value.

NOTE

When the request for heating and/or hot water has been satis-

fi

 ed, the appliance pump and fan may continue to circulate to 

dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.

ATTENTION

Gas type and appliance output 

must be set 

according to the 

speci

fi

 c appliance speci

fi

 cation. Vokèra accepts no responsi-

bility if the gas type is not correctly adjusted according to the 

respective appliance speci

fi

 cation as detailed on the appliance 

data badge.
