flue check:
u
The flue must be fitted correctly, with a fall back to the
boiler. Note: internal fall of 2.5˚ within the flue.
u
For concentric balanced flue:
- the cone supplied should be inserted in to the end
of the flue;
- the wall plate should be fitted with an opening
for air under the flue;
- check that the flue guard is fitted.
u
When installing a Silverpac or a Slimline Silverpac, the
90˚ bend should be fitted pointing up.
Boiler set-up:
u
For burner set-up, see page 30.
u
Set the air to what is required for the nozzle size +. 5 on
the dial - example: the factory setting for a Firebird 26kW
has a Danfoss .65 80° eS nozzle with a pump pressure of
9 bar and air at 2.5. The final air setting to suit the boiler
set up will be determined by using a flue gas analyser.
u
Turn on the oil supply and switch on power to the
boiler.
u
Check all connections for possible leaks.
u
Check thermostat operation and set desired
temperature on completion.
u
Use a smoke gun to check clean combustion.
flue gas analysis and fine tuning of burner:
u
ensure flue gas is over 50˚C when setting CO
2.
u
allow the boiler to run for a period of time before fine
tuning to the Firebird settings.
u
Fine tuning of the burner should take place once the
recommended oil pressure value has been obtained.
Burner air should then be adjusted to achieve the
desired CO
2
setting.
u
Print off a copy of the flue analysis and attach to the
boiler passport.
u
Make sure the flue gas analysis plug is replaced
correctly into the flue when finished the flue analysis.

CommIssIonIng
u
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that
the boiler is properly commissioned when first used.
u
the boiler should be commissioned by an ofteC
registered, or competent, qualified engineer,
familiar with firebird products.
u
the installation certificate and the commissioning
certificate within the boiler passport should be
completed and posted to firebird within 28 days
of installation (this can also be done online on the
firebird website). a copy should be retained by the
commissioning engineer.
u
the system should be checked thoroughly.

Pre-installation check:
u
Is the following documentation included with the
boiler, Installation Manual, Boiler Passport, Burner Book?
u
Is the base on which the boiler is to be installed solid?
u
allow sufficient room for future servicing of the boiler.
Where does the flue terminate:
u
Make sure there is no window, door or fence within 1
metre of the flue-terminal.
u
If the flue terminates in a corner or into an allyway,
re-circulation of the combustion gases in the air intake
could occur. a plume dispersal may be required or
an alternative flue arrangement might be available.
Contact the Firebird technical department for advise.
u
The appropriate class 1 flue must be used with a
conventional flue installation. Contact Firebird if unsure.
Power supply:
u
Is a timed, permanent, power supply available, via a
fused spur with a 230V 50Hz mains electrical supply and
a 5a fuse?
oil supply:
u
The burner is set for 28 Second Class C fuel.
u
a 15 micron oil filter should be placed in line with an
isolating valve prior to entry to the burner.
u
There must be a remote sensing fire valve.
u
Verify that the oil tank has been installed correctly as
per building standards.
Boiler check:
u
Baffles should be checked as they may have been
disturbed during transport.
u
Check that the condensate trap is fitted securely,
primed with water and piped out into a suitable drain.
It is easier to check the trap when the boiler door is
removed.
u
The boiler door should be refitted, complete with
graphite seal and then tightened.
