SECTION 1 DESIGN PRINCIPLE AND OPERATING SEQUENCE

1.1 PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS● A fully integrated electronic control board

featuring electronic temperature control, self-diagnostic fault indicator, continuous gasmodulation.

● Electronic ignition with flame supervision.● Fan.● Differential air pressure switch.● Two-stage gas valve.

1.2 MODE OF OPERATIONWhen there is a request for hot water via a hotwater outlet or tap, the water flow switch senseswater movement thereby energising the fan, thefan proves the differential air pressure switchwhich in-turn allows an ignition sequence to begin.Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry toensure flame stability at the burner. Oncesuccessful ignition has been achieved, theelectronic circuitry increases the gas rate tomaximum or modulates to suit the set requirement.

When the appliance reaches the desiredtemperature the burner will modulate to maintainthe desired temperature. Should the temperaturecontinue to increase, the burner will shut off whenthe maximum operating temperature is attained.When the request for hot water has been satisfiedthe appliance fan may continue to operate todissipate any residual heat within the appliance.

1.3 SAFETY DEVICESWhen the appliance is in use, safe operation isensured by:● a high limit thermostat that over-rides the

temperature control circuit to prevent or interruptthe operation of the burner;

● a differential air pressure switch that checks theoperation of the fan and flue thereby allowingsafe operation of the burner;

● a flame supervision device that will shut off thegas supply to the burner if there is no flamesensed within 7 seconds.

The vertical flue terminal is 1.0 metre in lengthand cannot be cut; therefore it may be necessaryto adjust the height of the appliance to suit or usea suitable extension.Remove or discard the flue restrictor ring from theappliance flue outlet (see fig. 1), if the total fluelength - including the allowance for any additionalbends - exceeds 1.0 metre.Connect the vertical flue assembly to the waterheater flue spigot using the 60mm & 100mm clips,gaskets & screws (supplied), ensuring the correctseal is made. The flue support bracket (suppliedwith the vertical flue kit) can now be fitted.If the vertical flue requires extension/s or additionalbend/s, connect the required number of flueextensions or bends (up to the maximumequivalent flue length) between the water heaterand vertical flue assembly (see fig. 8).

NOTEWhen cutting an extension to the required length,you must ensure that the excess is cut from theplain end of the extension and that the inner(60mm) pipe is 7,5mm longer than outer (100mm)pipe (see fig. 8). Remove any burrs, and checkthat any seals are located properly.You must ensure that the entire flue system isproperly supported and connected.

4.5.3 TWIN FLUE SYSTEMThe Vokera twin flue system enables greater fluedistances to be achieved (see 4.4.2) than that ofthe standard concentric flue system.It can be used for horizontal or verticalapplications, however the twin flue system mustbe converted to the dedicated concentric flue kitfor termination.It is essential that the installation of the twin fluesystem be carried out in strict accordance withthese instructions.

GUIDANCE NOTES ON TWIN FLUEINSTALLATION● The flue must have a fall back of 1° back to the

appliance to allow any condensate that may formin the flue system to drain via the condensatedrain. Consideration must also be given to thefact that there is the possibility of a small amountof condensate dripping from the terminal.

● Ensure that the entire flue system is adequatelysupported, use at least one bracket for eachextension.

● The entire flue system must be adequatelyinsulated to maintain heat within the flue systemthereby reducing the possibility of condensateproduction.

● As the exhaust outlet pipe can reach very hightemperatures it must be protected to preventpersons touching the hot surface.

● The condensate drain pipe must be connectedin accordance with building regulations.

MOUNTING THE WATER HEATERThe fixing holes for the wall-mounting bracketshould now be drilled and plugged, anappropriate type and quantity of fixing should beused to ensure that the bracket is mountedsecurely. Once the bracket has been secured tothe wall, mount the appliance onto the bracket.

7.1 CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERATIONWhen carrying out any repairs or servicing to theappliance, the relevant commissioning proceduremust be undertaken to ensure the continued safeoperation of the appliance. Particular attentionshould be made to ensure gas soundness, watersoundness, and the electrical integrity of theappliance.

7.2 APPLIANCE MODE OF OPERATIONWhen there is a request for hot water via a hotwater outlet or tap, the water flow switch senseswater movement thereby energising the fan.

NOTEThere must be sufficient inlet water pressure andflow (min. 0,15 bar/ 2 lpm) to ensure the waterflow switch is activated. If there is insufficientpressure and/or flow, the appliance will beprevented from operating. When the fan runs, itproves the differential air pressure switch whichin-turn allows an ignition sequence to begin.

NOTEThe ignition sequence lasts approximately 7seconds, during which the appliance will continueto spark even if the burner has already lit. If thespark/sensing electrode does not sense ignitionthe appliance will then go to lockout. Ignition issensed by the electronic circuitry to ensure flame

stability at the burner. Once successful ignitionhas been achieved, the electronic circuitry allowsthe full gas rate through the appliance.When the appliance reaches the desiredtemperature the burner will modulate to maintainthe set temperature. Should the temperaturecontinue to rise the burner will shut off when themaximum operating temperature is attained.When the request for heat and/or hot water hasbeen satisfied, the fan may continue to operate todissipate any residual heat within the appliance.

7.3 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING BURNERPRESSURE (see fig. 17)Altough the burner pressure is factory set, it isnecessary to check it during servicing or if the gasvalve has been removed. Isolate the appliancefrom the electrical supply and attach a suitablemanometer to the gas valve outlet test nipple.Remove the compensator tube.

7.3.1 SETTING THE MAXIMUM BURNER PRESSURELight the appliance as described in 5.6 andcompare the reading on the manometer with thevalue described in 2.2.

SECTION 10 L.P.G. INSTRUCTIONS

10.3 GAS SUPPLYThe gas supply must be connected to theappliance by a competent LPG installer and mustbe of sufficient size to supply the appliance at itsmaximum output.An existing supply must be checked to ensurethat it is of adequate size to deal with the maximumrated input of this and any other appliances thatit serves.

10.4 GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATIONThe entire installation, including the meter, mustbe purged and checked for gas soundness.

10.5 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING BURNERPRESSURE (see fig. 17)Although the burner pressure is factory set, it isnecessary to check it during servicing or if the gasvalve has been removed. Isolate the appliancefrom the electrical supply and attach a suitablemanometer to the gas valve outlet test nipple.Remove the compensator tube.

10.5.1 SETTING THE MAXIMUM BURNERPRESSURELight the appliance as described in 5.6 andcompare the reading on the manometer with thevalue described in 2.2. If adjustement is required,remove the protective cap from the gas valvemodulating coil assembly and turn the outer(10mm) nut clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease the burner pressure.

NOTEYou should ensure that one or two outlets areopen during the above procedure. This willensure that the output of the appliance (burnerpressure) is not compromised due to a highoutlet temperature.

For details of converting an appliance to LPG please refer to the instructions supplied with the relevant conversion kit.

10.5.2 SETTING THE MINIMUM BURNERPRESSUREOnce the maximum burner pressure has beenchecked and/or adjusted, remove one of the greywires from the modulating coil. Compare thereading on the manometer with the valuedescribed in 2.2. If adjustement is required, turnthe inner (red) cross-head screw clockwise toincrease, or counter-clockwise to decrease theburner pressure, whilst ensuring that the outer(10mm) nut does not move. When checking and/or adjustement has been completed, isolate theappliance from the electrical supply, replace theprotective cap, refit the compensator tube, refitthe grey wire to the modulating coil, remove themanometer, and tighten the outlet test nipple.

IMPORTANT, A GAS SOUNDNESS CHECKMUST BE CARRIED OUT.
