1. INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION This boiler is designed to heat water at a lower than boiling temperature at atmospheric pressure. The boiler must be connected to a central heating system and to a domestic hot water supply system in compliance with its performances and output power.
2. INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING Initial lighting of the boiler must be carried out by a licensed technician. Ensure the following operations are carried out: a) compliance of boiler parameters with (electricity, water, gas) supply systems settings. b) compliance of installation with the laws and regulations in force. c) appropriate connection to the power supply and grounding of the appliance.

3.1 ADJUSTING ROOM TEMPERATURE The central heating system must be equipped with a thermostat to control room temperature. If no room temperature thermostat is installed when the boiler is first started up, room temperature can be controlled using the control knob (6). Simply turn the control knob clockwise to increase room temperature or anti-clockwise to decrease it.

9. GENERAL INFORMATION The following remarks and instructions are addressed to Service Engineers to help them carry out a faultless installation. Instructions regarding lighting and operation of the boiler are contained in the ‘Instructions pertaining to the user’ section. Note that installation, maintenance and operation of the domestic gas appliances must be performed exclusively by qua- lified personnel in compliance with current standards.
11. BOILER INSTALLATION Decide upon the boiler location, then tape the template on the wall. Connect the pipework to the gas and water inlets prearranged on the template lower bar. If you are either installing the boiler on a pre-existent system or substituting it, we suggest you also fit settling tanks on the system return pipework and under the boiler to collect the deposits and scaling which may remain and be circulated in the system after the purge.
By means of a splitting kit a two-pipe system may also be installed. In case exhaust and intake flues not supplied by BAXI S.p.A. have been installed, these must be certified for the type of use and must have a maximum pressure drop of 100 Pa.

SEPARATED HORIZONTAL FLUE TERMINALS INSTALLATION OPTIONS IMPORTANT: Ensure a minimum downward slope of 1 cm toward the boiler per each metre of duct length. Make sure that the exhaust and intake ducts are securely fixed to the walls.
SEPARATED VERTICAL FLUE TERMINALS INSTALLATION OPTIONS L max = 14 m L max = 15 m Important: if fitting a single exhaust flue duct, ensure it is adequately insulated (e.g.: with glass wool) wherever the duct passes through building walls. For detailed instructions concerning the installation of fittings refer to the technical data accompanying the fittings.

15.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO A MULTI-ZONE SYSTEM The electrical connections and settings needed to control a multi-zone central heating system vary depending on what accessories are connected to the boiler. To permit the boiler to handle requests from individual zones, turn the Summer/Winter selector (1 - figure 1) on the boiler’s front panel to Winter ( ) position.

15.5 CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL BOILER (FOR MODELS PRIME HT 1.120 – 1.240 – 1.280) Boiler models PRIME HT 1.120 – 1.240 – 1.280 feature a three way power valve for connecting an external boiler. Connect the boiler water pipes as shown in figure 16. Remove the resistor from terminals 9-10 of terminal board M2, and connect the optional DHW priority sensor to them (figure 16).
16. CHANGING GAS TYPE Proceed as follows to calibrate the gas valve. 1) Calibrate maximum thermal power. With the boiler operating at maximum thermal power, check that the value for CO measured in the flue corresponds to that specified in table 1 (a-b-c). If necessary, turn the adjuster screw (V) on the gas valve.

18. CONTROL AND OPERATION DEVICES The boiler has been designed in full compliance with European reference standards and in particular is equipped with the following • Safety thermostat This device uses a sensor on the central heating delivery line to cut off the flow of gas to the burner if the water in the primary circuit overheats.
19. POSITIONING OF THE IGNITION AND FLAME SENSING ELECTRODE Figure 23 20. CHECK OF COMBUSTION PARAMETERS To measure combustion performance and hygiene levels of combustion products, the forced draught boiler models are equipped with two test points on the tapered coupling specifically designed for this purpose. One of the two test points is connected to the exhaust flue duct to allow measurements of the combustion products hy- gienic standards and combustion efficiency.
21. ACTIVATING THE FLUE SWEEP FUNCTION Proceed as follows to activate the flue sweep function before measuring combustion efficiency and fume composition. 1) Turn knobs 6 and 7 (figure 1) fully anti-clockwise to their minimum positions as shown in figure 18A. 2) Starting in this position, quickly turn control knob 7 twice consecutively clockwise through about of a turn as shown in figure 18B.
