Congratulations on your choice. RIVA COMPACT HE are condensing high efficiency sealed chamber fan flue gas boilers. They are fully electronically controlled and have electronic ignition. The materials they are made of and the control systems they are equipped with give you safety, a high level of comfort and energy savings to allow you to get the greatest benefit out of independent heating. RIVA COMPACT HE allow a higher efficiency by reducing the flue gas temperature such that the water vapour formed during the combustion is condensed out. This allows a gain of useful heat that otherwise would be lost.

Boiler installation and commissioning tips

n The installation must be carried out by
a qualified person who will be responsible for observing the current Regulations.

Installing the boiler...

n Do not forget to remove the transit caps
and plugs from the boiler connections these are fitted to every boiler.

n It is also sensible to initially fire and commission the boiler before connecting any external controls such as a room thermostat. By this method if you have a subsequent problem following the addition of an external control you can eliminate the boiler from your fault analysis. n Do not forget to range rate the boiler to
suit the system requirements. This procedure is covered in the commissioning section of the installation manual.

stallation and in particular do not allow any dust or debris to enter the top of the boiler where the flue connection is made. It is recommended that you put a dust sheet over the top of the boiler until you are ready to make the flue connection.

n Keep the boiler clear of dust during in-

n If

n Because every boiler is fired and tested

live at the factory, a small amount of water remains within the boiler. It is possible for this water to initially cause the pump to seize. It is therefore recommended that the pump rotor be manually turned to free its rotation before turning the boiler on.

the boiler is fitted with a digital programmer, when setting the times for automatic operation, remember that for every ON time there must be an OFF time to follow and that on every occasion you enter a time you must also indicate which days that you want the boiler to follow the timed settings.

ing time delay. It is normal when first switching the boiler on for the boiler to operate on heating for a few seconds then switch off. After 3 ---4 minutes has elapsed the boiler will then re ignite and operate perfectly normally. The ignition delay cycle does not prevent normal operation of the boiler to provide d.h.w.

n If you are in any doubts as to the installation or operation of the boiler please read the instruction manuals thoroughly and then if necessary contact Biasi UK for advice and assistance.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Warnings 2.2 Refilling procedure
1 Isolate the boiler from the electrical supply at the fused spur. Reconnect the filling loop as demonstrated in Fig. 2.1.

Biasi UK Ltd support the Benchmark initiative. Within the information pack, you will find a Benchmark Log Book. It is very important that this is completed correctly by the installer and/or the commissioning engineer at the time of installation,commissioning and hand over to the user. All CORGI Registered Installers carry a CORGI ID card, and have a registration number. Both should be recorded in your Benchmark Log Book. You can check your installer is registered by calling CORGI direct on 01256 372300. In order to guarantee safety and correct operation, it is essential that all the tests are carried out by a competent and responsible service engineer before lighting up the boiler. The tests are described in the installation instructions in section 7 commissioning. Ensure that the c.h. circuit is regularly filled with water (even if the boiler is only used for d.h.w. supply) checking that the pressure indicated on the temperature and pressure gauge 4 is not lower than that shown in Fig. 2.2. If the pressure reading on the pressure gauge is below that shown in Fig. 2.2, then the system will require topping up. A filling loop is normally provided by the installer for this purpose. If you are in any doubt regarding this procedure you are advised to contact your Installer or an Approved Engineer. This appliance is provided with a built in anti--freeze system that operates the boiler when the temperature is below 4 C Therefore, when the boiler is not lit or used in cold weather, with consequent risk of freezing do not switch off the boiler at the fused spur isolation switch or close the gas inlet cock. When you do not expect to use the boiler for a long period and the boiler is not to be used for frost protection then follow the instructions given in section 2.6 on page 6.

If you experience any difficulty with the operation of the boiler, switch off the boiler immediately at the fused spur isolation switch and contact your Installer or an approved Service Engineer Air introduced into the boiler during this filling process will vent through the automatic air purger fitted to the boiler. You may also find it necessary to vent air from your radiator circuit using your radiator key, however be aware that excessive venting will cause the pressure in the system to drop. Always ensure that the pressure gauge is set at the required pressure.

Instructions for use 2.3 Ignition

1 Check that the valves located in the lower part of the boiler are open (Fig. 2.3).

The appliance operation light 10 (Fig. 2.4) will flash every 4 seconds (stand --- by condition). 3 If the boiler is to be used for c.h. and d.h.w position the function selector 8 as in Fig. 2.4 (combi) or in Fig. 2.5 (c.h. only). The appliance operation light 10 will flash every 2 seconds (operating boiler). 10 8

C.h. circuit temperature

The output temperature of c.h. water is adjustable from a minimum of about 38C to a maximum of about 85C (Fig. 2.7), by turning the function selector (8). Adjustment of c.h. output on the boiler is automatic. The greatest output pre--- set in the factory can, however, be reduced in level according to actual system requirements; this does not affect the maximum output in d.h.w. operation. Such adjustments must be carried out by a qualified person; therefore we advise you to contact your installer or Service Agent. Adjustment of the boiler temperature alters the gas flow at the burner according to the thermal demand in the system. So it is usual to see the burner lit at the minimum level for more or less long periods.

USE

Instructions for use

Adjustment In order to achieve optimal settings for economy and comfort, we recommend adjusting the operating temperature of the c.h. water according to the outside temperature, positioning the knob as follows: From 5 to 15 C Between --- 5 and +5 C The adjustment system integrated within the boiler automatically controls the flow of gas to the burner in order to keep the temperature of d.h.w. delivered constant, between the limits of maximum and minimum output. Where the demand is at a low level or with the temperature set to the minimum, it is normal to see a cycle of lighting and extinguishing of the burner when running. Adjustment It is advisable to adjust the d.h.w. temperature to a level commensurate with the demand, minimising the need to mix with cold water. In this way, the automatic control facilities will be fully exploited. Moreover, where the amount of limescale present in the water may be particularly great, not exceeding the position in Fig. 2.10 of the d.h.w. temperature control knob 9 corresponding to about 50C (Fig. 2.10), minimises annoying incidences of scale deposits and clogging.

USE

Lower than --- 5 C Fig. 2.8 Your qualified installer will be able to recommend the most suitable adjustment for your system. The temperature and pressure gauge (4, Fig. 1.3 on page 2) will allow you to check that the set temperature is obtained.

2.5

D.h.w. temperature (combi)

9 Fig. 2.10 In these cases, however, it is advisable to install a small water treatment device or softener. With such a device you should avoid periodic descaling. Consequently, the d.h.w. heat exchanger will keep its performance consistent for a longer period of time with resulting gas savings. If the demand for d.h.w. is so great as to prevent reaching a high enough temperature, have the appropriate output limiting valve installed by your installer or an Authorised Service Engineer.

The temperature of the d.h.w. leaving the boiler can be varied from a minimum of about 35C to a maximum of about 55C (Fig. 2.9), by turning the temperature control knob 9.

USEFUL ADVICE
Central heating
--- general check of the appliances operation.

For reasonably economical service install a room thermostat. Never shut off the radiator in the area where the room thermostat is installed. If a radiator (or a convector) does not heat up, check that no air is present in it and that its valve is open. If the ambient temperature is too high, do not alter the radiator valves. Reduce the central heating temperature instead by means of the room thermostat and the function selector (8 in Fig. 3.1).

3.4

External cleaning

Before carrying out any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains, using the fused spur isolation switch fitted adjacent to the appliance. To clean the external panels, use a cloth soaked in soapy water. Do not use solvents, abrasive powders or sponges. Do not carry out cleaning of the appliance and/or its parts with readily flammable substances (for example petrol, alcohols, naphtha, etc.).

If the lock---out signal lamp comes on this indicates that the safety lock--- out 6 (Fig. 3.2) has stopped the boiler To re--- start the boiler, it is necessary to press the boiler reset button 7 (Fig. 3.2).

3.2

Frost protection

This appliance is provided with a built in anti--freeze system that operates the boiler when the temperature is below 4 C Therefore, when the boiler is not lit and used in cold weather, with consequent risk of freezing do not switch off the boiler at the fused spur isolation switch or close the gas inlet cock.

7 Fig. 3.2 For the first lighting up and following maintenance procedures for the gas supply, it may be necessary to repeat the resetting operation several times so as to remove the air present in the pipework. Safety lock--- out may occour even in case of an blockage of the condensate drainage (e.g. plugged drain pipe). It is advisable to check the condensate drainage pipe and traps for cleaness. In case of persistent lock--- out call a competent and responsible service engineer. If noises due to air bubbles are heard during operation... you should check that the pressure on the temperature and pressure gauge (Fig. 2.2 on page 4) is not below the correct setting. If required, top up the system correctly, as described in the section 2.2 of this manual. Bleed any air present in the radiators, if necessary.

3.3

Periodic maintenance

For efficient and continuous operation of the boiler, it is advisable to arrange maintenance and cleaning by an Authorised Service Centre Engineer, at least once a year. During the service, the most important components of the boiler will be inspected and cleaned. This service can be part of a maintenance contract. In particular, you are advised to have the following checks carried out: --- primary heat exchanger; --- domestic hot water heat exchanger; --- burner; --- exhaust fume duct and flue; --- pressurisation of the expansion tank; --- filling up of the central heating circuit; --- bleeding of air from the central heating system; 10

Useful advice
If the pressure on the temperature and pressure gauge (4 on page 2) has gone down... it is necessary to top up the appliance with water again, so as to raise the pressure to an adequate level as described in the section 2.2 of this manual. If topping up with water has to be done very frequently, have the system checked for leaks. If water comes out of the pressure relief valve Check on the temperature and pressure gauge (4 on page 2) that the pressure in the central heating circuit is not close to 3 bars. In this case, temperature rise in the circuit can cause the pressure relief valve to open. So that this does not happen and to decrease the pressure to a normal value, it is advisable to vent some of the water in the appliance through the bleed valves present in the radiators. If in time, a reduction in domestic hot water supply is observed... The likely causes may be impurities caught in the domestic hot water flow switch filter or limescale deposited in the domestic hot water heat exchanger. It is advisable to have the appliance cleaned out by an Authorised Service Centre Engineer. If water should occasionally leak from the boiler... shut off the valves positioned under the boiler (Fig. 2.13 on page 7) and call an Authorised Service Centre Engineer. If the left appliance operation light 10 (Fig. 3.3) flashes very quickly the boiler is detecting a fault. 10

Fig. 3.3 In this case or in case of problems other than those mentioned here, switch off the boiler, as described in section 2.6 on page 6 and call a competent and responsible service engineer.

INSTALLATION

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
5.3 Flue system
The provision for satisfactory flue termination must be made as described in BS 5440 part 1. The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is exposed to external air. It must not be installed so that the terminal discharges into an other room or space as an outhouse or lean--- to. It is important that the position of the terminal allows a free passage of air across at all times. The terminal should be located with due regard for the damage or discoloration that might occur to building products in the vicinity. In cold and/or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving the flue terminal; the effect of such steaming must be considered. Pluming may easily occur at the terminal. Where possible, terminal position which could cause a nuisance should be avoided. The minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are specified in Fig. 5.1.

Biasi UK Ltd support the Benchmark initiative. Within the information pack, you will find a Benchmark Log Book. It is very important that this is completed correctly at the time of installation,commissioning and hand over to the user. This appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the Gas Safety (installation & Use) Regulations.

The Gas meter is connected to the service pipe by the local gas region or a local gas region contractor. If the gas supply for the boiler serves other appliances ensure that an adequate supply is available both to the boiler and the other appliance when they are in use at the same time. Pipework must be of adequate size. Pipes of a smaller size than the boiler inlet connection should not be used. Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS 6891 and the complete installation should be tested for soundness.

Ventilation

If installed in a cupboard or compartment, it is not necessary to provide additional ventilation for cooling for this particular product. However consideration must be given to clearance requirements for maintenance (see section 6.2) and under no circumstances must stored articles be allowed to come into contact with the boiler or flue pipe.

Detailed recommendations are given in BS 6798 and BS 5449; the following notes are given for general guidance. Pipework The return temperature must not be lower of 30 C. Copper tubing to BS EN 1057 is recommended for water pipes. Jointing should be either with capillary soldered or with compression fittings. Where possible pipes should have a gradient to ensure air is carried naturally to air release points and water flows naturally to drain taps. The appliance has a built--- in automatic air release valve, it should be ensured as far as possible that the appliance heat exchanger is not a natural collecting point for air.

5.7

Condensate drain

Ensure that the condensate discharge complies with the national or local regulations in force. The condensate pipe must be fitted in accordance with Building Regulations. Drainpipe material should be resistant to acid as the condensate is slightly acid with a pH less than 6.5.

rev. 17.09.93

INSTALLATION

5.4

Gas supply

The boiler includes a trap (17 on page 12) that prevents the combustion products entering the drain, however an additional trap with a seal of at least 75 mm and an air break between the traps is required (Fig. 5.2). The length of the condensate pipe should be kept at minimum. To avoid condensate being trapped: --- the drainpipe should be run with a fall of at least 2.5 (45 mm/m) away from the boiler; --- the number of bends and joints should be kept at minimum; --- the drainpipe should be adequately fixed to pevent pipe sagging. If a part of the drainpipe runs externally this part should pe kept as short as possible and protected to reduce the risk of freezing.

General requirements
Except where providing useful heat, pipes should be insulated to prevent heat loss and to avoid freezing. Particular attention should be paid to pipes passing through ventilated spaces in roofs and under floors. By ---pass The appliance includes an automatic by --- pass valve which protects the main heat exchanger in case of reduced or interrupted water circulation through the heating system due to the closing of thermostatic valves or cock--- type valves within the system. The by--- pass is calibrated to assure a minimum flow of 500--- 600 lts/hr through the main heat exchanger. If you are installing a system that includes thermostatic radiator valves (TRV) and/or small bore (8--- 10 mm) it may be necessary to fit an external by--- pass to facilitate correct operation of the boiler. Air release points These must be fitted at all high points where air will natural collect and must be sited to facilitate complete filling of the system. Expansion vessel The appliance has an integral sealed expansion vessel to accommodate the increase of water volume when the system is heated. Refer to Tab. 4.1 on page 15 for its technical data. If the heating circuit has an unusually high water content, calculate the total expansion and add an additional sealed expansion vessel with adequate capacity. Mains water feed: central heating There must be no direct connection to the mains water supply even through a non return valve, without the approval of the Local Water Authority. Mains water feed: hot water supply The domestic section of the boiler is designed to withstand an internal domestic water pressure of 10 bar. Where it is likely that the mains domestic water pressure may exceed 5 bar, it is possible due to internal water hammer effects that the pressure within the domestic system can increase to a level in excess of the 10 bar limit. In these circumstances it is therefore recommended that a 3 bar pressure reducing valve be fitted to the incoming mains water supply and a 22 mini expansion vessel installed on the domestic circuit. These devices will protect the boiler and the domestic system from damage due to excessive domestic water pressure. Filling A method for initially filling the system and replacing water lost during servicing must be provided and it must comply with local water authority regulations. The correct method is shown in Fig. 5.3. The temporary connection must be removed immediately after filling.

INSTALLATION

Control valve Double check valve Temporary connection Supply pipe (cold water inlet) C.h. return pipe Control valve

Fig. 5.3 The installer should ensure that no leaks exist either inside the boiler or on the system as frequent filling of the system could cause premature scaling of the heat exchanger.

5.9

Domestic water

The domestic water installation must be in accordance with the relevant recommendations of BS 5546. Copper tubing to BS EN 1057 is recommended for water carrying pipework and must be use for pipework carrying potable water.

5.10 Water treatment

Central heating circuit Where a new boiler is fitted to a new system with either plastic or copper pipes, it is important the system is fully flushed, on completion, to ensure flux residues, swarfs, oils and other installation debris is removed. Where a new boiler is fitted to an existing system, it is important the debris from the existing system is fully removed in order to ensure the efficiency of the new appliance is maintained.

rev. 17.09.93

General requirements
Details on flushing procedure are given in the section 7.4 of this manual. Domestic hot water circuit (scale protection) In areas where the water is hard (i.e. more than 200 ppm total hardness as defined by BS 7593: 1993 Table 2) it is recommended that a proprietary scale--- reducing device is fitted into the boiler cold supply, within the requirements of the local water company. with the current I.E.E. Regulations and any local regulations which apply. The boiler is supplied for connection to a 230 V~ 50 Hz supply. The supply must be fused at 3A. The method of connection to the electricity supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation of the appliance by the use of a fused double pole isolator having a contact separation of at least 3 mm between poles or alternatively, by the use of a 3A fused three pin plug and unswitched shuttered socket outlet both complying with BS 1363. The point of connection to the electricity supply must be readily accessible and adjacent to the appliance except were the appliance is installed in a bathroom this must then be sited outside the bathroom.

Warnings
25 200 50

The use of gas appliances is subject to statutory control; it is essential to observe the current regulations and laws in force (see also chapter 5). The appliance must discharge combustion products directly outside or into a suitable exhaust duct designed for this purpose. Combustion products must be discharged using original flue kits only, since they are integral parts of the boiler. For LPG, the appliance must also conform with the requirements of the distributors and comply with current Regulations and laws in force. The safety relief valve and the condensate drain must be connected to a suitable drain, or discharge in a safe manner. The electrical wiring must conform with current Regulations, in particular: --- the boiler must be earthed using the correct bonding clamp. --- a fused spur isolation switch, with a gap of at least 3 mm between the contacts must be installed near to the boiler. Refer to section 6.9 in this chapter for the electrical connections. In no circumstances will the manufacturer be held responsible if the warnings and instructions contained in this manual have not been complied with.

INSTALLATION

Fig. 6.1 (all dimensions in mm) --- When installing the boiler in a cupboard, cover or alcove allow at least 50mm permanent clearance from the front face of the boiler. Also ensure sufficient clearance to allow free access for servicing and the lowering of the front control panel. --- If the boiler is installed outside, cover the appliance to protect it against the elements and add some special anti--- freeze (neutralised) to the c.h. system. --- Before installing the boiler on an existing c.h. system, flush it out thoroughly before fitting the boiler, so as to remove muddy deposits. --- It is advisable to equip the system with a sediment filter, or use a water--- treatment product in the circulating water. The latter option in particular, not only cleans out the system, but also has an anti--- corrosive effect by promoting formation of a protective skin on metal surfaces and neutralising gases present in the water. We recommend the use of a suitable universal inhibitory to protect the c.h. system from corrosion.

6.2

Precautions for installation

For the installation proceed as follows: --- The boiler must be fixed to a strong wall. --- The dimensions for the exhaust fume duct detailed in section 6.7 and the correct procedures for installing the duct, depicted in the instruction leaflet included with the flue kit, must be complied with during installation. --- To allow maintenance procedures it is necessary to leave the minimum gaps indicated in Fig. 6.1.

6.3

Installing the bracket

Precautions Before mounting the bracket, check that the dimensions for fitting the exhaust fume duct are complied with (refer to the leaflet included with the flue kit, packed separately).

24

Installation
Utilise the paper template supplied with the boiler to determine the fixing position for the bracket and boiler. Securely mount the bracket to the wall using appropriate fixings suitable for the type of wall construction and capable of supporting the total (wet) load.

See also section 5.7 in this manual. This kit is normally supplied with the boiler and can be fitted to allow discharge to the rear or either side of the boiler via the flanged boiler adapter elbow. Minimum length required is 0.3 m. Maximum equivalent length of 2,7 metres can be achieved utilising extensions. This flue system can only be used to discharge horizontally, it is not designed to enable termination in the vertical plane. Vertical kit with 90 elbow (Fig. 6.5B) Co--- axial 60/100 mm Supplied with a straight flanged adapter a co--axial elbow and a co--- axial pipe with terminal, this kit allows for a vertical rise of 0,5 m from the boiler. In all circumstances the flue terminal must discharge horizontally and the equivalent flue length must not exceed 2,7 metres. Elbows 45 & 90 (Fig. 6.5C) Co--- axial 60/100mm. Elbow kits enable the standard flue kits to be offset to overcome obstructions or ensure the correct clearances for the flue terminal. Each elbow used in addition to the standard flanged elbow reduces the overall acceptable length of the flue system as follows: 45 reduce length by 0.5 m. 90 reduce length by 1 m. B

Fitting the flue system

Refer to the assembly instructions contained within the chosen flue kit packaging for the correct assembly and installation. In general, it has to be taken in consideration that the horizontal sections of the flue pipe must have an horizontal sloping not less than 1.5 deg. (25 mm per metre) towards the boiler. In the standard horizontal flue kit (Fig. 6.5A) the flue pipe is angled within the air duct therefore the air duct must be horizontally installed. If one or more extensions have to be used they must be adequately supported so that there is no sag in the flue pipe and a minimum fall of 1,5 deg. (25 mm per metre) over the whole length towards the boiler is ensured.

C Fig. 6.5 Twin pipe kits 80 mm (Fig. 6.6) Various twin (split) pipes kits and optional accessories (elbows) are available to assist in the termination of the flue where the boiler is installed in a location remote to an outside wall. These kits allow for separation of the air supply pipe from the pipe that discharges the exhaust

gasses. Consequently it is possible to extend the flue system to a greater distance than that provided by the standard horizontal co--- axial flue. If either an additional 45 or 90 accessory elbow is used then the maximum permissible length of either pipe must be reduced by 0.90 m or 1,65 m respectively. This kit allows vertical termination of the flue pipe through the roof. The kit is 1.2 m in length. Extension pieces (Co--- axial) are also available which allows the flue system to be extended to a total overall maximum permissible length. Optional 45 and 90 elbows can be used to offset the flue route. Each additional elbow reduces the overall acceptable length of the flue system as follows: 45 reduce length by 0.5 m. 90 reduce length by 1 m.

The actual reading should ideally be 1,3 bar and not less than 0,3 bar. 9 Close all air release valves on the c.h. system. 10 Inspect the boiler and the system for water soundness and remedy any leaks discovered. 11 Cold flush the system to remove any loose particles and any system debris before starting the boiler for the first time The flushing procedure must be in line with BS7593 Treatment of Water in d.h.w. c.h. Systems. When the installation and second filling are completed turn on the c.h. system and run it until the temperature has reached the boiler operating temperature. The system must then be immediately flushed through. This procedure must be repeated twice more. During this operation we highly recommend the use of a c.h. flushing detergent in the quantities as specified by the appropriate manufacturer, whose function it is to dissolve any foreign matter which may be in the system. 31

7.5

Condensate pipe and traps

INSTALLATION

The full length of the condensate pipe should be check for leaks. The boiler has a built--- in condensate trap provided with a ball valve that prevents the escape of combustion products when the trap is empty. It is however recommended that any other trap in the drain system is correctly filled with water before to run the boiler.

Fig. 7.4 The boiler will now go through an ignition sequence and the burner will light. If during the ignition attempt period the boiler fails to light, the full sequence control p.c.b. will go to lockout and the lock--- out signal lamp 6 will appear. To reset the boiler press and release the boiler reset button 7 (Fig. 7.3).

7.6

Lighting the boiler

Some products incorporate an anti cycling time delay. It is normal when first switching the boiler on for the boiler to operate on heating for a few seconds then switch off. After 3--- 4 minutes has elapsed the boiler will then re ignite and operate perfectly normally. The ignition delay cycle does not prevent normal operation of the boiler to provide d.h.w.. If external controls are fitted (e. g. Timeclock, room thermostat) ensure they call for heat. 1 Turn on the electricity supply to the boiler, switching on the fused spur isolation switch. The appliance operation light 10 will flash every 4 seconds. 2 Turn the function selector 8 as in Fig. 7.3 (combi) or Fig. 7.4 (c.h. only). The appliance operation light 10 will flash every 2 seconds. 10 8 7 6

Adjustment of useful c.h. output

If the burner function selector (dipswitch number 4 on the main P .C.B.) is set to the ON position it will activate the re--- ignition delay period of approximately 4 minutes. When dipswitch number 4 is set to the OFF position there will be approximately 30 seconds re--- ignition delay period. Whilst checking or adjusting the c.h. output, and fault finding on the boiler it may be necessary to switch the re--- ignition delay mechanism (dipswitch 4) to the OFF position. Refer to the diagrams shown in Fig. 7.9, Fig. 7.10 or Fig. 7.11 and select the correct central heating output gas pressure to meet with the central heating system requirements. With the boiler operating in c.h. mode, use a suitable screwdriver to turn the adjustment potentiometer marked RISC (Fig. 7.8). Rotating the potentiometer anti--- clockwise reduces the maximum supply current to the gas modulator device, and thus reduces the gas pressure to the burner.
