1. OPERATIONG INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Introduction

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing DOMlcompact F 30 B, a FERROLI wall-mounting boiler featuring advanced design and technology, high reliability and quality construction. Please read this manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

DOMlcompact F 30 B is a high-efficiency condensing appliance for heating and hot water production running on natural or liquefied petroleum gas (configurable at the time of installation) and regulated by an advanced microprocessor control system.

The boiler shell consists of a primary copper laminar heat exchanger, a secondary aluminium heat exchanger providing effective condensation of the water vapour contained in the flue gases, and burner equipped with electronic ignition and ionization flame control.

The boiler is totally room sealed from the installation room: the air needed for combustion is drawn from outside. The boiler also includes a fan, modulating gas valve, pump, expansion vessel, flow meter, safety valve, temperature sensors, a safety thermostat and a low water pressure switch.

Thanks to the microprocessor control and adjustment system with advanced self-diagnosis, unit operation is for the most part automatic. The power for heating is automatically governed by the control system according to the indoor and outdoor characteristics (with an optional outdoor sensor installed), the characteristics of the building and of its location. The power for hot water is automatically and continually governed to ensure a fast delivery and comfort under all operating conditions.

The user only has to set the temperature desired inside the home (by means of an optional room thermostat or remote control, which is required under the building regulations 2002) or regulate the temperature of the system, and set the desired outlet temperature for the hot water. The adjustment and control system will provide optimum operation throughout the year.

The display continuously provides information on the unit's operating status and it is possible to obtain additional information on the sensor temperatures, set-points, etc. or configure them. Any operating problems associated with the boiler or system are immediately signalled by the display and, if possible, corrected automatically.

1.2 Control panel

The control panel is composed of a multi-function button, two knobs and a display.

2.2 Boiler location

The boilers combustion chamber is sealed off from the installation room. The installation room must be sufficiently well ventilated to prevent any dangerous conditions from forming in the event of even slight gas leakage. This safety standard is required by the EEC Directive no. 90/396 for all gas units, including those with a so-called sealed chamber.

Therefore the place of installation must be free of dust, flammable materials or objects or corrosive gases. The room must be dry and not subject to freezing.

The boiler is design to be installed on a solid wall. The wall fixing must ensure a stable and effective support for the appliance, using the bracket and fixings supplied.

If the unit is enclosed in a cupboard or mounted alongside, there must be space for normal maintenance work. Fig. 2 and tab. 1 give the minimum clearances to leave around the unit.

This appliance does not require compartment ventilation for combustion purposes

Fit standard wall plugs on the left and right side and the special wall plug in the middle (fig. 3). Fix the wall bracket to the wall using standard lock nut (M8) on both sides. Mount the boiler on the wall bracket and fix using the special antitheft nut (M8) as described in the fig. 3. Using a core drill cut a 118mm diameter hole for the flue as detailed on page 17.

fig. 3

Make Up Water

Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798, for methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's central heating system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to charge and pressurise the system directly, is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaws. Again any such connection must be disconnected after use. The temporary filling loop (not supplied) is shown in fig. 5. Ensure the filling point is on the return pipe to the boiler.

Attention - is drawn to the Local Water Byelaws.

Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are not acceptable for underground use and certain water undertakings will not accept their use above ground.

Ensure all pipework is adequately supported

2.3 Boiler water connections

The heating capacity of the unit should be previously established by calculating the building's heat requirement according to current regulations. For good operation and long life of the boiler, the plumbing system must be well proportioned and always complete with all those accessories that guarantee efficient operation and running, room thermostat, trv's and automatic bypass.

If the delivery and return pipes follow a path where air pockets could form in certain places, it is essential to install air vent valves at these points. Also, install a type "A" drain cock device at the lowest point in the system to allow its complete draining.

The temperature differential between the flow manifold and the return to the boiler should not exceed 20° C.

A minimum flow of 6 litres/min is required through the heat exchanger, it is therefore essential to fit a automatic bypass a min of 3 metres away from the appliance, calibrated on site.

FERROLI DOMIcompact F 30 B - Boiler water connections - 1

Do not use the water system pipes to earth electrical appliances.

Before installation, carefully flush all the pipes of the heating system to remove residues or impurities that could affect the unit's good working (BS 7593 Building regs Doc L).

Make the connections to the appliance as shown in fig. 6.

fig. 6

It is essential to install the isolation valves supplied between the boiler and heating system, allowing the boiler to be isolated from the system if necessary.

FERROLI DOMIcompact F 30 B - Key - 1

The safety valve outlet must be connected to a 15 mm pipe to discharge outside the property in the event of over-pressure in the heating circuit. If this is not done, and the drain valve trips and floods the room, the boiler manufacturer is not to be held responsible. The outlet should face back against the outer brickwork or building face to prevent harm or injury from hot water discharging in the evet of an over-pressuried system.

Make the boiler connection in such a way that its internal pipes are free of stress. If a check valve is installed on the tap water circuit (where applicable), it is necessary to mount a safety valve between the boiler and this circuit (check valve minimum 3 metres from boiler).

The connecting kits shown in fig. 7 are supplied as standard.

L = S + D + 163,5 mm

Horizontal flue installation

  1. Define the suitable position for installing the boiler (see 2.2 boiler location)
  2. When installing a horizontal flue kit, please ensure a 3mm per metre fall back to the appliance is incorporated
  3. Make a hole of diameter 10 - 20 mm greater than the nominal diameter of the concentric pipe used.
  4. If necessary, cut the end pipe to size, ensuring that the external pipe protrudes from the wall by between 10 and 60 mm (Fig. 10a and 10b). Remove the cutting burrs and lubricate the seals with a suitable silicone based grease.

  5. Connect the flue to the boiler, positioning the seals correctly. Seal the flue into the wall with silicone or sand & cement a and cover with wall seals provided.

Flue seals should be lubricated with a silicone type grease to prevent damage (grease not supplied)

Vertical Outlet
The total length in equivalent metres of the concentric flue must not exceed the maximum lengths stated in the following table, note that each bend gives rise to the stated reduction. For example, a duct = 60/100 composed of 1 bend of 90° + 1 horizontal metre + 2 bends of 45° + 1 horizontal metre has a total equivalent length of 4 metres.

Connection with 80 mm pipe system

The unit can be connected to a system of separate air/flue pipes for a horizontal or vertical outlet as shown on the fig. 11-12. Numerous accessories are available on request to meet the various installation requirements.

Please refer to the flue manual catalogue or the price list for additional components.

To check you do not exceed the maximum permissible flue length, it is necessary to make a simple calculation before installation:

  1. For each component, tables 4 - 5 (page 20) provide an "equivalent loss in metres", depending on the position of installation of the component (with air intake or flue extraction, vertical or horizontal).
    The loss is called "equivalent length" since it is compared to the loss of one metre of flue (defined as equal to 1). For example, a bend at 90° of 80 in flue run has an equivalent loss of 2.5 linear metres, i.e. it has a loss equal to that of 2.5 metres of flue length.
  2. After designing the layout of the system, add up the losses in equivalent metres, depending on the installation position, of all the components and accessories in the system.
  3. Check that the total calculated loss is less than or equal to 48 equivalent metres, i.e. the maximum permissible for this model of boiler.

Terminal Position
Technical schematic diagram of a mechanical or hydraulic system with labeled components and dimensional annotations

Statutory minimum distances for terminal siting

A B C Pathway Opposite boundary

A - minimum distance 600mm - may be a nuisance if it 'wets' opposite boundary, crosses main pathway or condensate can drip on pathway.

B - minimum distance 600mm - may be a nuisance as plume could obscure window.

C - minimum distance 600mm - may be a nuisance if plumecrosses door.

The plume should not cross:

  • a frequently used access route;
  • any frequently used area (such as a patio or car parking space);
    • a neighbouring dwelling.

Nor should it be directed towards a window or door, or be sited close to a facing wali or other surface.

There are also other aspects to consider when planning the flue terminal position.

  • A free passage of air is needed at all times to aid plume dispersal - which may be difficult in sheltered locations.
  • In cold weather, the condensate could cause a safety hazard if it freezes on pathways, or if it results in frost damage to surfaces.
  • The plume could trigger infra-red security lighting if sited in the wrong place.
  • Ensure terminals do not obscure security camera field of vision.
  • The terminal guards must be able to resist corrosive properties of the condensate.

NOTE

N/A = Not applicable

In addition, the terminal must not be nearer than 300mm to an opening in the building fabric formed for the purpose of accommodating a built-in element such as a window frame.

Condensing Terminal Positions: If the flue is to be terminated at low level, then the potential effect of the plume must be considered.

The plume should not be directed:

  • across a frequently used access route
  • towards a window or door
  • across a neighbouring property

Connection to collective flues or single flues with natural draught

If you are then going to connect the DOMIcompact F 30 B boiler to a collective flue or a single flue with natural draught, the flue must be expressly designed by professionally qualified technical personnel in conformity with the standards and rules in force.

In particular, flues must have the following characteristics:

  • Be sized according to the method of calculation stated in the standard
  • Be airtight to the products of combustion, resistant to the fumes and heat and waterproof for the condensate
  • Have a circular or square cross-section (some hydraulically equivalent sections are permissible), with a vertical progression and with no restrictions
  • Have the ducts conveying the hot fumes adequately distanced or isolated from combustible materials
  • Be connected to just one unit per floor, for at most 6 units in all (8 if there is a compensation duct or opening)
  • Have no mechanical suction devices in the main ducts
  • Be at a lower pressure, all along their length, under conditions of stationary operation
  • Have at their base a collection chamber for solid materials or condensation of at least 0.5 m, equipped with a metal door with an airtight closure.

fig. 13

The boiler is equipped with an internal siphon-trap to drain off the condensate. Fit the inspection bowl A and the hose B, pushing it on for approximately 3 cm.

FERROLI DOMIcompact F 30 B - Condensate outlet connection - 3

Fill the siphon-trap with approximately 0.5 l. of water and connect the hose to the waste system or soakaway

Condensate discharge

Where possible the condensate should discharge into an internal soil pipe or waste system. The minimum pipe diameter required is 22 mm, a trap has already been fitted to the appliance with a flexible hose to facilitate the connection to the condensate discharge pipe.

The pipe should be a solvent weld plastic, not copper, as the condensate has a ph value of 4 (slightly acidic).

Where it is not possible to terminate internally, the condensate discharge pipe may be run outside (see below drawing).

Any external run is subject to freezing, in severe weather conditions. To avoid this the pipework should be installed to dispose of the condensate quickly, with as much as possible run internally, before passing through the wall.

Pipework external to the building should be increased in diameter to 32 or 40 mm solvent weld. It should be run to a external drain or soakaway, with a maximum length of 3 metres.

If a soakaway (condensate absorption point) is used, it should be constructed as shown below.

3.2 Initial start-up

FERROLI DOMIcompact F 30 B - Initial start-up - 1

Commissioning must be performed by Qualified Personnel only!.

Checks to be made at initial start up, and after all maintenance operations that involved disconnecting from the system or an intervention of a safety device.

Before lighting the boiler:

  • Open any isolation valves between the boiler and the systems.
  • Check the soundness of the gas system, proceeding with caution and using a suitable leak detection fluid to detect any leaks in connections.
  • Fill the water system and make sure that all air contained in the boiler and the system has been vented by opening the air vent valve on the boiler and any vent valves on the system.
  • Make sure there are no water leaks in the system, hot water circuits, connections or boiler.
  • Make sure the electrical supply is properly connected.
  • Make sure that the unit is connected to a good earthing system.
  • Make sure that there is sufficient gas available to produce safe combustion. (min inlet working pressure = 20mbar)
  • Make sure there are no flammable liquids or materials in the immediate vicinity of the boiler.

Lighting the boiler

  • Open the gas isolation valve on the boiler.
  • Purge the air from the gas pipe work to the boiler.
  • Switch on the electrical supply to the boiler.
  • Turn knob "1" (Fig. 1) onto Winter in correspondence with a value greater than 50°C and the room thermostat knob, if applicable, onto the desired temperature setting. At this point, the burner will light and the boiler begins to function automatically, controlled by its software and safety devices.
    If, after correctly carrying out the lighting procedure, the burners do not light and fault F1 is generated, press the RESET button for 1 second and release it. The software will repeat the ignition cycle in the next 30 seconds. If the burners do not light after the second attempt, consult the "Troubleshooting" paragraph.
    In case of an electrical power failure while the boiler is working, the burners will go out and re-ignite automatically when power is restored.

3.4 Troubleshooting

Fault Diagnosis

The boiler is equipped with an advanced self-diagnosis system. In the event of trouble with the boiler, the display will show the relevant code.

There are faults that cause shutdown (faults from F1 to F3): in order to restore operation it requires the operator to press RESET for 1 second (ref. 2 - Fig. 1) or RESET on the optional remote timer control if this is installed; if the boiler fails to start, it is necessary to resolve the fault indicated on the display.

Other faults (from F5 to F37) cause temporary shutdowns that are automatically reset as soon as the value comes back within the boiler's normal working range.
