40 FROST PROTECTION
INSTALLATION
use the OFF terminals of the programmer.
Diagram B
shows a 'change-over' frost thermostat, which will cover
most systems which do use CH OFF. If, however, on such a system
the HW pipework is in an isolated part of the house, a second frost
thermostat may be used to protect it.
If in doubt, ask your installer for advice.
41 FITTING THE CASING & CONTROL SENSORS
9.
Place the top panel and push back.
10.
Secure the panel to the side panels.
11.
Refit the control panel using the screws previously removed.
12.
Relocate the 'Burner on' neon in the lens holder at the back of the
control panel.
13.
Fit the control thermostat to the rear of the control
panel using the 2 screws provided. Fit the correct
way up as shown (
T
).
14.
Fit the control thermostat knob.
15.
Secure the wiring harnesses in the edge clips on
the RH side panel..
16.
Secure all other internal wiring.
IMPORTANT.
Wiring within the boiler casing must be neatly secured
with the cable straps provided and MUST NOT be allowed to touch the
fan cooling impellor, the burner front plate, or the cleanout cover and
the collector hood.
17.
Refit the grille assembly.
Central heating systems fitted wholly inside the house
do not normally require frost protection as the house
acts as a 'storage heater' and can normally be left at
least 24 hrs. without frost damage. However, if parts
of the pipework run outside the house or if the boiler
will be left off for more than a day or so then a frost
'stat should be wired into the system.
This is usually done at the programmer, in which case
the programme selector switches are set to OFF and
all other controls MUST be left in the running position.
The frost 'stat should be sited in a cold place but where
it can sense heat from the system.
Wiring should be as shown, with minimal disturbance
to other wiring of the programmer.
Designation of the terminals will vary, but the
programmer and thermostat manufacturer's leaflets
will give full details.

which should suffice for all systems which do not
1.
Offer up the RH side panel, locating it with the peg in the
baseplate, and push the panel back engaging it into the
collector hood tab.
2.
Secure the panel to the baseplate and turret front panel.
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to refit the LH side panel.
4.
Refit the control box by locating it on the peg under the RH
side and securing with the M5 screw at the LH side.
5.
Insert the flow temperature sensor (red lead) to the full
depth of the pocket and secure the retaining plate with the
screw provided.
6.
Insert the return temperature sensor (blue lead) to the full
depth of the pocket and secure with the Heyco bush
provided.
7.
Carefully uncoil the overheat thermostat capillary wihtout
kinking it andfit the sensor into the overheat thermostat
pocket, securing it with the hook plate and screw as shown.
Route the capillary clear of the combustion chamber.
