1. Apply the aluminium windproof terminal to the exter-
nal wall so that it engages with the end of the coaxial
pipe and mark the position of the three holes F for the
expansion plugs (see Figure 3.5
2. Remove the terminal and drill the fixing holes (Ø 6 mm
for the supplied wall plugs).
3. Reassemble the terminal and secure it with the screws
using the relevant plugs.

FIRST START-UP
First start-up entails checking/setting up the com-
bustion parameters and may exclusively be carried
out by a Robur TAC. NEITHER the user NOR the in-
stallation technician is authorised to perform such
operations, under penalty of voiding the warranty.
The installer is obliged to carry out preliminary
checks described in Paragraph 4.1
4.1
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Paragraph dedicated to the installer.
4.1.1
Preliminary checks for first start-up
Upon completing installation, before contacting the TAC
the installer must check:
▶
Gas system suitable for the required capacities and
equipped with all safety and control devices required
by the regulations in force.
▶
Absence of leaks in the gas system.
▶
Type of gas for which the appliance is designed (natu-
ral gas, LPG or other gas).
▶
Supply gas pressure complying with the values of
p. 10, with max tolerance ±15%.
▶
Correct operation of the flue exhaust duct.
▶
Combustion air intake and flue gas exhaust correctly
carried out according to the regulations in force.
▶
Appliance correctly installed, according to the manu-
facturer's provisions.
▶
System installed in a workmanlike manner, according
to national and local regulations.
4.1.2
Abnormal or hazardous installation
situations
Should any abnormal or hazardous installation situations
be found, the TAC shall not perform first start-up and the
appliance shall not be commissioned.
These situations may be:
▶
Failed compliance with minimum clearances.
▶
Insufficient distance from combustible materials.
▶
Conditions that do not warrant access and mainte-
nance in safety.
▶
Appliance defects or faults caused during transport or
installation.
▶
Gas smell.
▶
Non-compliant mains gas pressure.
▶
Non-compliant flue gas exhaust.
▶
All situations that may involve operation abnormali-
ties or are potentially hazardous.
4.1.3
Non-compliant system and corrective
actions
Should the TAC find any non conformities, the user/install-
er is bound to perform any corrective procedures required
by the TAC.
After performing the remedial actions (the installer's re-
sponsibility), if the TAC deems that safety and conformity
conditions are in place, first start-up may be effected.
4.2
CHECKING BURNER GAS PRESSURE
Paragraph reserved exclusively to TACs.
The gas supply circuit is equipped with a gas valve
with pressure regulator (Figure 4.1
p. 13) to
control the gas flow. All models are factory-set to
operate with natural gas and can be converted to
LPG (see Paragraph 4.3.1
convector is calibrated during factory testing for
operation with natural gas. After installation, check
that the gas pressure at the burner complies with
indications in Paragraph 4.2
All adjustments must be made with the appliance
switched on and after removing the casing.
After completion of the gas pressure check at
the burner, the valve adjustment screws must be
sealed.
