When working on the heating system, makesure that the main switch is in the off posi-tion at all times and secured against acci-dental switching on.

Only authorised and properly trained specia-lists (heating specialists) may perform workon the heating system.

The minimum distances to walls and otherobjects, stated in chapter 1, must be obser-ved unconditionally.

The correct installation of the temperaturesensors and the safety temperature limi-ter must be checked before starting up theboiler for the first time.

Operating the A1 without heat insulationand/or casing is not allowed (fire hazard).

Before connecting to the power-supplyline, compare the main voltage (240 V 50 Hz), stated on the type label, with the vol-tage of the supply line.

The heating system must be constructed incompliance with technical safety regulations,as described in DIN 4751 for an open system(DIN 4751 part 1) or a closed system (DIN 4751 part 2) and strictly in accor-dance with Corgi recommendations. Thistechnical documentation is based on EN andDIN standards. These Standards can vary fromthe country usual standards. In these cases thestandards of the respective country are valid.For example in UK: CORGI REGULATIONS.

Safety valves must be properly checked andmust meet the requirements of TRD 721. Theblow-off output must correspond to therated heating output of the A1.

For closed systems in compliance with DIN4751 part 2, only use safety valves with an“H” on the parts check seal. They must bebuilt into the safety flow.When filling the heating system and putting itinto operation, follow VDI 2035.

ROTEX A1 has been checked and approvedaccording to DIN-EN 303, pr. EN 667, and pr.EN 483.When installing a gas heating system, youmust observe the regulations described inTRGI G 600 and the regulations of your gassupply firm.

The gas connection pressure must lie between5 and 55 mbar.

The electrical installation must be carriedout by authorised specialists in compliancewith current VDE guidelines. In addition, theregulations of your electricity providermust be taken into account.

Only waste gas mechanisms approved for usewith condensing boilers may be used.

The gas data on the boiler label of themechanism should be compared with connec-tion data provided by your gas supply firm.Seals should not be removed or damaged.

ROTEX assumes responsibility for faults inmaterials and fabrication when the product isused in accordance with these warranty condi-tions.

General Regulations for the Warranty

During the warranty period, ROTEX commitsitself to having the appliance repaired free ofcharge by a specialist under contract by thecompany.ROTEX reserves the right to supply a replace-ment for the product instead of repairing it. Awarranty claim can only be honoured if it canbe proved that the appliance was installedproperly by an authorised specialist. As evi-dence we strongly recommend that the enclo-sed installation and instruction form be filledout and sent back to ROTEX.

Shipment

The A1 is delivered on a disposable pallet. Allindustrial vehicles, such as elevating trucksand fork-lifts, are suitable for shipment. Theboiler must not be lifted or pushed by thecasing. Use the 2 straps on either side of thepackage to lift the boiler and pallet.

Delivery Condition

ROTEX A1 BGi boilers are already completelyassembled upon delivery. The output of theboilers modulates within a range of 5-25 kWwith the A1 BG 25i and 8-40 kW with the A1BG 40i (see the chapter "The ControlSystem" for more information). All connec-tions are accessible without removal of thecasing.

Installation

Remove the packaging from the boiler andposition the boiler in the spot where it is to beinstalled. The measurements may be takenfrom figures 1.1 and 1.2. Connection pipesmust be fitted in such a way that the A1 canbe opened completely. The boiler must be in afully horizontal position. Irregularities in thefloor can be corrected by applying adjustablefeet to the boiler. Necessary tool: mid-sizedscrewdriver

Place of Installation

The boiler should not be operated in roomswith aggressive vapours (e.g. hairspray, perch-lor-ethylene, carbon tetrachloride), a high amo-unt of dust, or high humidity (e.g. laundryrooms) unless you have an air purificationsystem. There must be a ventilation opening ofat least 150 cm2 in the room. Tip: If you use aconcentric air purification system, you can dowithout the ventilation opening, and there areno further conditions on the place of installa-tion.

Water Connection

On the back of the A1 are two connectionswith 1 1/4 " male bzw. 1 " female (return seepos. 1, flow see pos. 2 in fig. 1.2). The A1uses the same flow and return for the heatingcircuit and the storage tank.

To connect the heating circuit and hotwater storage tank (e.g. ROTEX SANI-CUBE or US 150), the included connectionset (T-piece and reversing valve) must beassembled.

A 380 mm base can be ordered, order no. 15 30 20.

Low-water Safety Device

Tests have shown that the overheating safetydevice on the ROTEX A1 BGi shuts off andlocks the burner even when the water level islow. The low-water safety device required ofmanufacturers in DIN 4751-2, Feb. 1993 edi-tion, is thus not needed

Do not fill the heating system until all installa-tion work is finished. The filling and emptyingfitting (KFE spigot, pos. 3 in fig. 1.2) is on theback of the boiler on the right side and inclu-des a manometer. Connect a 1/2" hose to thefitting and secure the hose against slippingwith a hose clamp. Turn the fitting of the boileron (KFE spigot, pos. 3 in fig. 1.2) and begin fil-ling the unit with water until the manometerreading shows that there is approximately 1.5 (1.5 of what ??????bar atmospheres????)ofexcess pressure in the unit (green area). Takecare that no boiler water flows back into thedrinking water pipes. After completion of thefilling, the heating net must be vented out.Remark: All connections should be checkedfor tightness before operating the appliancefor the first time. In order to avoid corrosiveproducts and deposits, adhere to VDI 2035regulations. If the water used for filling andreplenishing the boiler has a particularly highdegree of hardness, measures should be takento stabilise or soften the water.Important: The water pressure should bechecked with the manometer (1.5 ± 0.5 bar) atregular intervals while the installation is inoperation and adjusted by replenishing thewater supply if necessary.Necessary tool: adjustable spanner.

c) connection independent of room air with concentric air-flue gas system (fig. 1.6)

The flue gas must be released in the followingmanner:- by way of chimneys in compliance with DIN 18160

- by way of vertical flue gas lines with general building authorization of air waste gas systems

- by way of free standing chimneys (see DIN 4133 and DIN 1056)

- by way of exhaust shafts meeting the general requirements of flue gas mechanisms, in compliance with DIN 18017 part 1 (see section 6.3.1)

- by way of ventilation units in compliance withDIN 18017 part 3; this corresponds to the guidelines established in DVGW worksheet G 626

Installation Variants

Installation VariantsGenerally, the A1 BG 25i and A1 BG 40i condensing boilers can be installed in three different manners:They may be operated in a such a way thatthey use the air in the installation room ascombustion air (connection dependent on roomair), compare fig. 1.4 and pos. 2 in fig. 1.9. Itis necessary to install permanebtly ventilationopenings with a size of 1 x 150 cm2 or 2 x 75 cm2 in the installation room for thisinstallation variant (dependent on room air).

Flue Gas and Air Supply Connection

Fundamentals: The company connecting theflue gas pipe should get in contact with thechimney sweep responsible for the area. Evenin regions where this is not required by law,we recommend recording the participationof the chimney sweep on a written form.

The ROTEX A1 must be connected to thewaste gas mechanism on the storey the unit isinstalled on.

The flue gas pipe connection has a diameter of80 mm and is equipped with special acid-resi-stant seals. The measurements for thisconnection can be taken from fig. 1.3. A mini-mum distance of 400 mm between the fluepipe and the boiler is required if the flue gaspipe is not insulated.

Diameter of Connection:

In principle, the connection is possible on allflue gas lines suited for type B (allowed up to120 °C) and type C (allowed up to 160 °C)heating operations (not sensitive to humidity,tested for high pressure). A standard flue gasSTL is integrated. into the control panel forthis purpose. No other built-in safeguard isnecessary. We strongly recommend installingthe accompanying ROTEX flue gas pipe linemade of PP since it is equipped with specialacid-resistant seals. For the construction anddimensions of the flue gas system, consult thelocal building control authority

description of the installation variantsdisplayed in fig. 1.9.

Installation Variant 1

(operation independent of room air).The chimney or a special shaft allows air toenter from outside, which is then used as combustion air. The flue gas is released byway of a flue gas line (ø 80 mm) acceptable forcombustion heating. The line is run up to theroof through the same shaft used for airintake. The distance between the point wherethe smoke is released into the air and theridge of the roof must be at least 40 cm. Theboiler is connected with the LAS connectionset, order no. 15 50 70 (pos. 1 in fig. 1.9).

Installation Variant 2

The flue gas is released as with variant 1, butthe combustion air is taken directly from theinstallation room. The installation room mustthus be properly ventilated (ventilation ope-ning: 1 x 150 cm2 or 2 x 75 cm2

(pos. 2 in fig. 1.9).

Installation Variant 3

(operation independent of room air)The flue gas is released as with variants 1 and2, but the combustion air is procured by way ofa separate air canal from outside. If the aircanal is led through adjacent rooms, it must becapable of resisting fire for at least 90 minutes(pos. 3 in fig. 1.9).

Installation Variant 4

(operation independent of room air)The heating boiler is connected to a concentricair-flue gas system with the LAS connectionset, order no. 15 50 70. This concentric pipeis run through the outer wall, ending at least40 cm above the surface of the roof. In the out-door portion of the pipe, the outer air gap ser-ves to insulate the flue gas pipe. The combu-stion air is taken from outside by way of a

T-piece on the outer pipe (pos. 4 a in fig. 1.9)or sucked in through the annular gap of thedouble pipe above the surface of the roof(pos. 4 b in fig. 1.9).

Installation Variant 5

(operation independent of room air).The heating boiler is placed directly under theroof. The combustion air is led in and flue gasled out by way of a concentric double pipe.The inner pipe carries flue gas out while theouter annular gap sucks combustion air in fromoutside. There must be a distance of at least40 cm between the point where the flue gas isreleased and the surface of the roof. TheROTEX LAS connection set, order no. 15 50 70 (pos. 5 in fig. 1.9) is required for thisvariant.

Installation Variant 6

(operation independent of room air).This variant is identical to variant 5, exceptthat the air-flue gas pipe is run through thetimberwork. In this area, the air-flue gas pipeis either led through a protective pipe withnecessary fire resistance or separated fromthe timberwork (pos. 6 in fig. 1.9).Please observe the guidelines in DIN 4705when installing the flue gas mechanism.Remark: The maximum back pressure of theflue gas is 200 Pa. The flue gas pipe should beat an angle of 30 to 45 degrees at the pointwhere it is led into the chimney.The mass of the flue gas flow is dependent onthe output level the burner has been set to.

Connecting the Condensate Drain

The included condensate siphon should beconnected to the condensate pipe. The con-densate pipe should be set at an angle whichallows the condensate to flow steadily into thewaste water system. The level of the flow inthe condensate siphon and pipe must liebelow the flue gas pipe at all points along theline so that there is no danger of the conden-sate clogging up the flue gas pipe.

Connecting the Temperature Sensor

The boiler features a weather sensitive regula-tion of the flow temperature. To use this func-tion, it is necessary to connect an outdoortemperature sensor. If you are also using ahot water storage tank, you will also need adomestic water temperature sensor (storagetank sensor). The outside sensor should beattached on the coolest side of the house(north or north-east) at about a third of theheight of the house (2 meter minimumdistance from the ground). Do not attachthe sensor near heat sources (chimneys, hotair from ventilation shafts, exposure to thesun, etc.) as this may have an effect on thereadings. The cable outlet should be alwaysbe directed towards the ground so that moi-sture cannot soak into it. For the electricalinstallation, a twin-core cable with a minimalsectional area of 1 mm 2 is prescribed. Theresistance of the sensor is 2000 Ω at 25°C(PTC resistance).Remark: The sensor lines should always beinstalled separately. A parallel installation ofthe sensor and the net pipe within one instal-lation is not allowed and can result in consi-derable malfunctioning of the controls. Toensure fault-free operation and to avoid dama-ging the control system, use only the sensorsincluded in the package. 1 outside sensor, 1storage tank sensor, and 1 boiler sensor areinstalled in the controls as standard equip-ment. If you do not plan to install a hot waterstorage tank, you may request that your boilerbe delivered without the storage tank sensor.Procedure: Turn off the main switch of theboiler and unplug the storage tank sensor.Open the service lid and press the blue buttonwhile turning on the main switch. Hold downthe blue button for approximately 4seconds until SET appears on the display.The current sensor configuration is now set(for detailed information see the chapter “TheControl System”).

Connecting the Gas Pipe

The gas connections must be made in compli-ance with the technical guidelines for gasinstallation on worksheet G 600 of TRGI 86,1996 edition. The gas pipe is connected to the safety control block (1/2 “ female) on theunit (comp. pos. 7 in fig. 1.1 and pos. 7 infig. 1.1). We strongly recommend using theDVGW approved connection hose shipped withthe unit.

*If the gas connection pressure lies outside ofthe range indicated, you are advised to contactyour gas supply firm.

[ 11 ]

The Pumps

The A1 boilers are equipped with an integra-ted circulation pump and a 3-way reversingvalve. The pump and the 3-way diverter valveare connected to the Wieland plug strip (fig. 1.13).pump connection: 3 poled red3-way diverter valve connection: 3 poledblue

fig. 1.13: plug strip

Electrical Installation

The ROTEX A1 BG 25i and A1 BG 40i are desi-gned to be used with 240 Volt 50 Hz alterna-ting voltage. Before connecting the boiler,make sure that the supply voltage corre-sponds to the main voltage stated above. In order to avoid confusion between the powersupply and sensor connections, they differ incolour and shape (fig. 1.14). The electricalinstallation of the boiler is completed in thefactory. Changes to the electrical instal-lation are dangerous and should not be per-formed under any conditions. The connectionto the main supply may only be performed byauthorised specialists working in compliancewith VDI regulations DIN 57 116 and theregulations of your energy provider.

A DVGW approved heat-triggered stoppingdevice (TAE) is built into the unit at the factory.The TAE must be built in compliance with theregulations in DVGW-VP 301.

The standard gas connection pipe can cause adecrease of pressure of up to 3.2 mbar. Thisdoes not have a negative affect on the functio-ning of the unit.

Initial Operation

After the connection work has been comple-ted, the A1 is ready for operation and may beput into operation by trained personnel. Beforeputting the boiler into operation for the firsttime, you should check the checklist at the end of the chapter “Set-up and Installation”carefully. When all questions on this checklistcan be answered with “yes”, the pre-adjustedburner may be put into operation temporarily.The switch “mode of operation” on the controlpanel must be set to “manual” (pos. 1, fig.1.15). Now the unit may be put into operationby turning on the main switch. The boiler temperature regulator (pos. 2, fig. 1.15)should be in the central position (verticalupwards) for the test.

Summary

All important service elements and technicalsafety features of the boiler are integrated inthe boiler control panel. The electronics insuretrouble-free operation of the unit. All displaysand controls are marked with position numbersand are described in the following.

1 Main Switch ON/OFF SwitchAll components of the heating system can beturned on or off with the main switch. Whenthe heating system is running, the main switchis lit with a green light. When the heatingsystem is running properly, all other controllights remain off.

2 Operation Mode Selection SwitchYou can choose between the following modesof operation:

Stand-by: (for long absences) All heatingsystems are turned off. However, anti-frost and pump protection (see electricalcontrol system) remain operational.

Night Set Back Operation

Weekday Programmes (pre-adjusted timeprogrammes and the setting of individualtime programmes; see “The ElectricalControl System”)

Continual Daytime Operation

Generation of Domestic Hot Water (without heating operation)

Manual Operation (for specialists or incase of defects in the electrical controlsystem)

Use: For normal operation, the operation selection switch should be set to the symbol

, , or .

3 Day Temperature Selection SwitchAllows you to choose the set temperature for"normal operation".Adjustment: According to individual choicesto temperature.

4 Night Setback Temperature SelectionSwitchAllows you to choose the set temperature forlow operation (night lowering).Adjustment: According to individual sensiti-vity to temperature.

5 Burner Fault DisplayDuring normal operation the light remains off.The light indicates that there is a fault in theboiler (unsuccessful burner start).How to react to a burner fault: You canrestart the burner by pressing the interferenceoverride button on the burner. If burner faultsoccur repeatedly, the interference should berepaired (also see chapter 4 “The Gas Bur-ner”).

6 Safety Temperature Limiter DisplayThe display indicates that the unit has beenlocked in the off position when the boilerbecomes overheated due to a defect.How to react to an STL shut-off: The STLdisplay indicates that a serious failure hasoccurred in the heating system (e.g. obstruc-tion, air in the system, or a pump defect).

7 Selection Switch – Boiler TemperatureThe boiler temperature selection switch servesonly to heat the system manually and for tem-porary manual adjustment of the boiler tempe-rature (e.g. on the occasion of a malfunctioningof the electronic control system). In these

cases the operation mode selection switchmust be switched to “manual operation”.During normal operation of the heating system,the temperature selection switch shouldalways be set to “automatic”.Remark: The 3-way diverter valve is set toheating circuit.

8 The Display (Standard Display)The standard display indicates the currentwater temperature in the boiler and the ON/OFFState of the burner, the heating circuit pump,and the domestic hot water pump can be samepump. For an explanation of further displayoptions see “The Electrical Control System”.

Chimney Sweep Switch and Control Light(only for the heating expert)For measurement and maintenance purposes(chimney sweeps), all components connec-ted to the heating system (circulation pumpand boiler) can be put into operation for ashort period of time without the necessity ofchanging the adjustments on the control panel.The control light lights up to indicate thismode of operation. During normal operationthe light remains off. The 3-way diverter valveis set to heating circuit.

The Parameters of the Control System

The steepness of the heating curve must beadjusted to match the existing heating instal-lation by a specialist. No further parametersneed be adjusted in most cases.

Displaying and Adjusting the Parameters

There are three setting levels:1. parameters for heating specialists

(to display: hold the blue and yellow buttons down for about 5 sec.)

2. time (to display: hold down the yellow button for about 5 sec.)

3. on/off times (to display: hold down the bluebutton for about 5 sec.)

What all adjustments have in common is thatthey may all be selected with the yellow but-ton (pos. 5 in fig. 3.1) and adjusted with theblue button (pos. 6 in fig. 2.1). Every subse-quent time the blue button is pressed, thevalue of the selected parameter is raised.When the maximum value is reached, theparameter automatically returns to the mini-mum value. After you have finished program-ming, the standard display appears automati-cally and the newly programmed data arestored:

1. if you press the yellow button after the last parameter.

2. automatically 30 seconds after you press a button.

Parameters for Heating Specialists

To enter the heating specialist mode, bothbuttons (yellow and blue) must be helddown for about 5 seconds. The heating spe-cialist mode includes 14 pre-programmedparameters as well as a reset, an operatinghour counter, a burner start counter, and a hotwater mode. Every A1 BG inline oil burner isequipped for the installation of a mixer for anadditional mixer circuit. You can activate it byconnecting and activating the mixer sensor(see the chapter “Temperature Sensors”).

Factory SettingsSteepness of the Heating Curve

Parameter 1range of adjustment: 0.2 – 3.5; factory setting: 1.5The heating curve describes the functionaldependency of the flow temperature on theoutdoor temperature. Since the ROTEX A1 canbe operated without a mixer with a variableboiler temperature which may reach as low asroom temperature, the boiler temperature cor-responds to the flow temperature. The heatingcurve must be adjusted to the existing heatingsystem. Select the heating curve in such a waythat the temperature of the boiler correspondsto the set temperature of the heating systemwhen the outdoor temperature is a minimum.To set the correct heating curve you need onlyenter the steepness of the heating curve. Theheating curve may be taken from the diagramfig. 3.2.

for a rough estimation:floor heating: steepness of the heating curve = 0.7 – 1.0;radiator and system 70 (floor heating):steepness of the heating curve = 1.4 – 1.6; ifyou have temperature control in individualrooms, it is recommended to set the heatingcurve 0.2 higher.

Steepness of the Heating Curve for a Mixer Circuit

Parameter 2 (not active if the mixer cir-cuit is not activated!) range of adjustment: 0.20 – 3.50;factory setting: 0.70

Remark: Because of the inertia of the heatingsystem, there is a long interval before theeffects of a change in the steepness of theheating curve can be detected. When adju-sting the heating curve, you should thus pro-ceed only in very small steps (0.1 per day).During the adjustment period, the room controland the thermostat valves should be almostcompletely opened and all other sources ofheat should be shut off. It is advisable to carryout the adjustment in operation mode . Inthis way, the adjustment period will not bedisturbed by intervals of low operation.

Hot Water Set Value

Parameter 3range of adjustment: 20 – 60 °C; factory setting: 50 °CThe hot water set value indicates the highesttemperature at which the boiler may refill thehot water tank at the pre-programmed times(switch to storage tank filling). The fillingbegins at a storage tank temperature of 5 Kunder the hot water set value chosen. The 3-way mixing valve switches back for 3 minu-tes in order to use the remaining heat of theboiler.

Legionella Protection

Parameter 4range of adjustment: 1 - 7, factory setting: OFFThe legionella protection turns on one time aweek on the programmed day (1-7) between21:00 and 02:00 o’clock unless it is set to OFF.If the temperature of the storage tank is below60°C at this time, it is heated up to 65°C.

Reduced Operation

Parameter 5range of adjustment: low; eco factory setting: night set backDuring reduced operation you can choose between low operation and eco operation.

a. Night Set Back OperationThe heating circuit pump remains in operationduring the pre-programmed low operationinterval. The flow temperature is adjusted tocorrespond to the pre-programmed low tempe-rature (pos. 3 in fig. 3.1).Used for: a building with a high level of heatloss

b. ECO OperationDuring pre-programmed night set back opera-tion intervals the heating system (pump andburner) are turned off as long as the outdoortemperature remains above the anti-frost limitof 3°C. If the outdoor temperature sinks belowthe anti-frost limit, the unit switches to lowoperation automatically. The heating circuitpump shuts off for three minutes in order toavoid an overheating of the boiler and to makeuse of the remaining heat. The anti-frost pro-tection remains operational during eco opera-tion.Used for: a building with a low level of heatloss

Summer Shut-off

Parameter 6range of adjustment: 10 – 30 °C;factory setting: 22 °CThe summer shut-off shuts off the entire hea-ting operation during summer operation. Thehot water processor remains operationalaccording to the time programme. The summershut-off operates according to two separatecriteria:

a. Quick Shut-off (in the case of a rapidrise in temperature): The summer shut-offactivates if the actual outdoor temperaturerises 2 K above the set value.

b. Average Temperature Shut-off (in thecase of a slow rise in temperature): Thesummer shut-off activates if the actual andaverage outdoor temperature reach the setvalue. The shut-off (a. and b.) is cancelledwhen the actual and average temperature fall1 K below the set value.

Maximum Boiler Temperature

Parameter 7range of adjustment: 70 – 85 °C, factory setting: 70 °CIn keeping with heating system regulations,the control system is equipped with a electro-nically controlled maximum boiler temperaturelimiter. The boiler shuts off when the maxi-mum temperature is reached. The burner startsagain when the boiler temperature falls 7.5 Kbelow the maximum temperature.

Mixer – Minimum Temperature

Parameter 8 (not functional if the mixercircuit is not activated !)range of adjustment: 10 – 85°C,factory setting: 20°CThe set temperature is the minimum tempera-ture of the mixer circuit, below which it willnot sink.

Mixer – Maximum Temperature

Parameter 9 (not functional if the mixercircuit is not activated !)range of adjustment: 10 – 85°C, factory setting: 70°CThe set temperature is the maximum tempera-ture of the mixer circuit, above which it willnot rise.

Summer-Winter-Time Switch

Parameter 10range of adjustment: ON, OFFfactory setting - ONThe automatic switch to and from Winter-Sum-mer-Winter.

Minimum Burner Running Time

Parameter 11range of adjustment: 1 - 10 min, factory setting: 1 minA minimum burner running time may be set tolengthen the duration of burner running times.When the boiler reaches the maximum tempe-rature, the burner is shut off prematurely.

Summary

The gas surface burner of the ROTEX A1 BGInline modulates between 5-25 kW (A1 BG 25i)or 8-40 kW (A1 BG 40i). It runs quietly, is resi-stant to wear, and emits only an extremely lowamount of pollutants. The burner is construc-ted in a modular manner. It consists of the fol-lowing components:- burner surface (pos. 1 in fig. I4.1)- unaflow blowing engine without collectors (pos. 2 in fig. 4.1)

- Venturi mixing tube (pos. 8 in fig. 4.1)- safety gas regulating device (pos. 3 in fig. 4.3) with integrated gas filter and electro-valves

- firing device with integrated ignition (pos. 6 in fig. 4.1)

- burner flange (pos. 12 in fig. 4.1)- electrode group with ignition electrodes and ionisation electrodes (pos. 13/14 in fig. 4.3)

Resetting the Burner

A fault shutdown of the burner is indicated bythe control light on the boiler control panel(pos. 5 in fig. 2.1).You can unlock the burner by pressing the faultoverride button on the control panel briefly(pos. 14 in fig. 2.1).

Burner Output

The computer control system integrated intothe control panel uses operating data from theboiler (sensor temperatures, set operatingparameters, and set values) to calculate thenecessary burner output level. The controlsystem converts this information into a signalthe burner blowing engine can understand andthen passes it on to the engine.The burner blowing engine reacts by adjustingthe speed of the blower and thus of the flowof combustion air. The gas regulating deviceregulates the amount of gas accordingly, thusassuring a constant amount of excess air (airvariable I) in the entire unit (see the descrip-tion of the integrated gas/air controllingdevice).

Limiting the Maximum Burner Output

The maximum burner output can be limitedfrom the control panel by way of a simpleparameter adjustment (see parameter 10 ofthe heating specialist mode, p. 16). This canbecome necessary if, for example, you need tolimit the flue gas temperature.The integrated flue gas STL limits the maxi-mum flue gas temperature of the ROTEX A1BG Inline to 120 °C. If you affect this value bysetting a limit in parameter 10 of the heatingspecialist mode, the modified maximum fluegas temperature may be found on tables 4.5 and 4.6.

Limiting the Minimum Burner Output

The minimum burner output can be limitedfrom the control panel by way of a simpleparameter adjustment (see parameter 9 of theheating specialist mode, p. 16).

Integrated Gas/Air Regulating Device

The integrated gas/air regulating device of theROTEX A1 BG Inline consists of a Venturi tubewith a ring-shaped gas intake and a gas pres-sure regulator.The gas/air regulating device serves to makesure that air variable I, the value set at the airfitting screw (pos. 11 in fig. 4.2), is held at aconstant value regardless of burner output.The control system compensates for fluctuati-ons in gas pressure of 5-55 mbar (zero pres-sure regulator). Depending on the flow volumeof the combustion air, a corresponding ventila-ting pressure is created in the centre of theVenturi tube (pos. 8 in fig. 4.3). In this waythe gas, which is not pressurized due to thegas/air regulating device (zero pressure regu-lator) (pos. 4 in fig. 4.3), is sucked into thecentre of the Venturi tube and brought to theburner surface and mixed optimally by the bur-ner blowing engine (pos. 2 in fig. 4.1).This combination causes the burner to reactimmediately to any change in air flow volumeby changing the flow volume of the gas.

Adjusting the Burner and Type of Gas

The burner is adjusted at the factory for usewith the type of gas supplied by your energyprovider (see adjustment sticker). After a successful trial run of the unit, the burner mustbe adjusted to approx. 9.8 % CO2. This shouldbe done in chimney sweep operation modewith the help of a waste gas measuringdevice. With the burner running and the boilerwarmed up, use the gas fitting screw (pos. 11in fig. 4.3) to adjust the amount of excess air.counter-clockwise: more gas (fatter)clockwise: less gas (leaner)(Follow the same procedure when switching toLL natural gas.)

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the hea-ter lowers energy consumption and guaranteesthe long life and fault-free operation of theunit. For this reason, heating system regulati-ons require that the unit be serviced by a spe-cialist at least once a year. To assure regularmaintenance, it is advisable to sign a ser-vice contract.

It is sensible to have the unit serviced eitherdirectly before or after the heating period. Thefollowing pages provide information as towhich tasks should be performed. At the endof the chapter there is also a checklist whichcan be used to detect faults and their solutionsin case the boiler ceases to function unexpec-tedly.

Removing the Sound Insulation Cap

Before the unit can be serviced, it is necessaryto remove the sound insulation cap of the bur-ner. The sound insulation cap sits on the bur-ner panelling and is easy to remove (fig. 6.1).

Removing the Boiler Casing

The burner panelling is fastened by four moun-tings, one in each corner. You can remove it bylifting it up.

fig. 6.1: removing the sound insulation cap

Removing the Insulation Mould Parts

The insulation mould parts are fixed to the bur-ner with twelve open mouthed connectingblocks. For maintenance purposes, it is enoughto remove the two upper parts of the mould. Inorder to do this, press the relevant connectingblocks together with their chromium-platedmetal hoops and remove them. After removingthe connecting blocks, you may remove bothupper parts of the mould (fig. 6.2).

fig. 6.2: removing the insulation mould parts

Opening the Combustion Chamber

Warning: only when the burner is shut offand has had time to cool downTo open the combustion chamber, four Allanscrews M8 must be removed (fig. 6.3). Thecombustion chamber can only be opened fromthe top. An air pressure spring supports theopening process and holds the upper half ofthe burner open during maintenance. The half-rounded combustion chamber charge withfire-proof deflector is located in the lower halfof the burner. When cleaning the combustionchamber, the charge should be removed,checked for possible damage, and replaced ifneeded (fig. 6.4).Necessary Tool: Allan key SW 8, combustionchamber key

Troubleshooting

Fault Possible Cause Possible Removal

heating unit not functioning power supply cut turn on boiler main switch

turn on furnace room main switch

check / replace boiler control panel fuse

check / replace house service connection fuse

burner will not start when it no power supply to burner check voltage on the L1.N clamps of the 7 poled plug

check / replace fuse

automatic flame control has shut off check the polarity of the power main

check the position of the ionisation electrode

connections of controlling device are loose check all plugs and make sure they are fully inserted

no gas pressure check the gas connection

air in gas line aerate the gas line

maximum burner capacity too small air / flue gas resistance too large check whether line is dirty

if necessary, use a larger cross section for

the air supply line

Most Important Steps:

- Make sure the fuel lines are sealed and not damaged.

- Clean the burner head.- let the burner run in chimney sweep mode for

about 10 minutes and then analyse the combustion process according to the followingfactors:

1. flue gas temperature in the chimney (<120°C)

2. CO2 content (9.8% ± 0.2%)3. CO content (< 50 ppm)

Checking the Connections

During service, all connections as well as thegas and power connection should be checkedfor damages and repaired if necessary. If faultsoccur in the power supply, an authorised com-pany approved by your energy provider shouldbe contracted with the removal of the fault.

Remark: We recommend recording all meas-ured values and all service and maintenancework, including date and signature, on theincluded maintenance form and leaving it insight of the chimney sweep.

Cleaning the Boiler Casing

The sound insulation cap and the boiler casingconsist of easy to clean synthetic material.Only clean them with soft towels and a mildcleaning solution consisting of water andsoap. Aggressive cleaning solutions with solvents are not recommended. They maydamage the surface of the panelling.

Cleaning the Combustion Chamber and the Burner

Dirt and soot on the fins of the combustionchamber may simply be swept off with theincluded cleaning brush. Fallen dust collects inthe bottom half of the burner where it may beremoved away easily with a vacuum cleaner(fig. 6.6). The burner need not be removed forcleaning purposes.
