10.0 Commissioning and Servicing
10.1 Commissioning
Note
: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT AN
OFTEC
TRAINED AND REGISTERED TECHNICIAN
SHOULD BE USED.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT THE BOILER
IS PROPERLY COMMISSIONED. SEE BS 5410. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
Combustion tests must be carried out using a Combustion Analyser. The pump pressure
can be checked by fitting a manifold and a pressure gauge to the oil pump.
Before firing ensure that all the baffles are in place as they may have been displaced
during transit as shown in on page 8. Set the boiler control to 80
°
C switch on, ensuring
all controls are calling for heat. Typical burner settings and test data are shown in
section 2.2.
Check the smoke reading, CO
2
content and flue gas temperature with the boiler up to
temperature. Testing while the boiler is still relatively cold gives inaccurate results and
leads to incorrect adjustments being made.
Where a balanced flue has been fitted ensure the air duct connecting the flue and
burner has been properly connected before commissioning. On the Kabin Pak Combi
refit the front door panel before doing a flue gas analysis.
To comply with GB building regulations OFTEC form CD11 should be completed
and a copy left with the householder.
10.2 Servicing
10.2.1 General Requirements
It is recommended that the appliance is serviced annually by an OFTEC registered
service technician in accordance with the recommendations laid out in OFTEC’s
technical information book 2 – ‘Pressure Jet Appliances – Commissioning Requirements
for Technicians’.
Additionally when servicing special attention should be paid to the condition of the oil
nozzle, flexible oil line, fuel filter and lid and base insulation all of which will need to be
replaced on a regular basis.
Note: Second year or other extended warranties will be invalidated if the appliance is
not serviced annually.
10.2.2 Kabin Pak Combis
1.
The boiler must be provided with a suitable well drained hard standing area to prevent
the formation of pools of water in order to eliminate any risk to the service engineer or
end user.
2.
The boiler must not be serviced or the panels removed where there is a risk of the
ingress of water.
