1. Instructions

1.1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing the MODENA S HE, a FERROLI wall-mounted boiler the latest generation appliance, featuring advanced design and cutting-edge technology.

MODENA S HE is a high-efficiency condensing pre-mix appliance for central heating and hot water production, running on natural gas or LPG, generating extremely low emissions.

The boiler is constructed with a stainless steel heat exchanger providing effective condensation of the water vapour contained in the flue gases, permitting extremely high efficiency.

Inside the boiler there is a premix burner with an integral fan, with a large stainless steel surface.

The boiler is totally room sealed from the installation room: the air needed for combustion is drawn from outside. The boiler also includes a modulating speed fan, modulating gas valve, pump, expansion vessel, safety valve, flow sensor, dual safety and control temperature sensor, 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.

The display continuously provides information on the unit's operating status and it is easily 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.

Safe handling of materials

Pay attention when handling the boiler insulation panels as they contain materials that could irritate the skin. No part of the boiler contains asbestos, mercury or CFC's.

The use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is always recommended.

Advice for transport and handling

For lifting and transporting always take suitable safety precautions: keep your back straight, bend knees, do not turn your body, move feet, avoid bending forward or sideways and keep the load as close as possible to your body.

If possible, use a trolley or other suitable means to carry the boiler.

Grip the boiler firmly and, before lifting it, try and find the point where the load is concentrated in order to establish the centre of gravity and suitably reposition yourself. Ideally seek assistance in lifting the boiler.

2.2 Place of installation

The combustion circuit is sealed with respect to the place of installation and therefore the unit can be installed in any room. However, the place of installation must be sufficiently ventilated to prevent the creation of dangerous conditions in case of even slight gas leaks. This safety regulation is provided for by EEC Directive no. 2009/142 for all gas units, including those with a sealed chamber.

In any case, the place of installation must be free of dust, flammable materials or objects or corrosive gases.

The boiler is arranged for wall mounting and comes standard with a hanging bracket. A paper template for marking the drilling points on the wall is provided in the box. The wall fixing must ensure stable and effective support for the boiler.

B Min. 20 cm
C Min. 30 cm
D Min. 60 cm (via an openable panel)

2.3 Plumbing connections

Important

The heating capacity of the boiler must be previously established by calculating the building's heat requirement according to the current regulations. To ensure proper operation and long boiler life, the plumbing system must be adequately sized and complete with all the necessary accessories, including a room thermostat, a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV), etc. The system flow and return pipes must have a diameter of at least 22 mm for the first 3 m of length from the unit.

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

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

A flow rate of at least 6 litres/min through the heat exchanger is required.

FERROLI Modena 32S HE - Important - 1

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

Before installation, carefully flush all the heating system pipes to remove any residuals or impurities that could affect proper operation of the unit (as required by BS 7593 Building regs Doc L).

Carry out the connections to the unit as indicated in fig. 32.

FERROLI Modena 32S HE - Important - 2

The safety valve discharge must be connected to a 15 mm diameter copper pipe descending from the boiler to run off system water in case of overpressure in the heating circuit. Otherwise, the boiler manufacturer cannot be held liable if the discharge valve operates and floods the room. The discharge must be run to the outside of the building to prevent the risk of damage or injury caused by discharged hot water in case of overpressure in the system.

Connections to the boiler are to be made in such a way as to ensure that its internal pipes and fittings are free of stress. If a non-return valve is installed also on the DHW circuit (if provided for), it is necessary to install a safety valve between the boiler and circuit (with non-return valve at least 3 metres from the boiler) or an expansion tank for domestic use.

Isolation valve kit

The isolation valves supplied (see fig. 10) must be installed between the boiler and heating system to allow the boiler to be isolated from the system if necessary.

For installation, follow the instructions contained in the kit.

C Gas cock 1/2" (yellow)

F Return isolation valve 3/4" - System filling

fig. 10 - Isolation valve kit

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. Ensure the filling point is on the return pipe to the boiler.

Attention - is drawn to the Model Water Byelaws.

2.4 Connection to the gas system

If necessary the local Gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas.

An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the local Gas supplier.

A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas supplier, or by a Local Gas suppliers Contractor.

Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS6891.

Appliance inlet working pressure must be 20mbar MINIMUM, for NG and 37 mbar minimum for LPG.

Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the combination boiler inlet gas connection (22 mm).

FERROLI Modena 32S HE - Connection to the gas system - 1

The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness and purged as described in BS689. All pipework must be adequately supported. An isolating gas valve is provided and should be fitted on the boiler gas inlet. Please wait 10 minutes when lighting from cold before checking. Gas pressures should be checked after the boiler has operated for 10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium. This appliance has no facility to check the burner pressure, however if the inlet pressure and the gas rate are correct the boiler should be set correctly, the gas valve is set and sealed at the factory and should not be adjusted without authorisation from Ferroli Personnel. A combustion test should be carried out to ensure correct air/gas mix (see page 28 combustion analyser testing).

The isolation kit shown in fig. 10 is supplied as standard.

2.5 Electrical connections

Special plume management kits are available by request.The plume must not be directed towards:- A frequented approach- A window or door- An adjacent property

Connection to multiple flues or single flues with natural draught

To connect the MODENA S HE boiler to a multiple flue or a single flue with natural draught, the flue or chimney must be expressly designed by professionally qualified technical personnel in conformity with the current standards and regulations.

In particular, flues and chimneys must:

  • Be sized according to the method of calculation given in the standard.
  • Be tight with respect to the products of combustion, resistant to the fumes and heat and impermeable to condensate.
  • Have a circular or square cross-section (some hydraulically equivalent sections are permissible), with a vertical progression and with no constrictions.
    • Have the ducts conveying the hot fumes at a suitable distance or separately from combustible materials.
  • Be connected to just one unit per floor, for not more than 6 units (8 if there is a compensation duct or opening).
    • Have no mechanical suction devices in the main ducts.
  • Be at low pressure, all along their length, in conditions of stationary operation.
  • Have at their base a collection chamber for solid materials or condensate, of at least 0.5 m, equipped with an airtight metal door.

2.7 Condensate drain connection

Installation

The boiler has an internal trap for draining condensate. Fit the inspection coupling A and the hose B. Fill the trap with approx. 0.5 L of water and connect the hose to the disposal system.

natural_image Diagram of a pipe assembly with blue pipes and a downward arrow indicating flow or movement (no text or symbols)

fig. 23

Condensate drain

The condensate should be run inside as far as is practicably possible. For that purpose, use a pipe of at least 22mm diameter and a trap with flexible connection supplied with the unit to facilitate connection of the condensate drain pipe.

The pipe must be in solvent weld plastic and not in copper, since the condensate has a pH of 4 (slightly acid).

If the condensate drain pipe cannot be ended on the inside, it is advisable to run it outside as shown in the following figure.

The pipe sections going to the outside are exposed to the risk of freezing in particularly extreme weather conditions. To prevent this from occurring, it is advisable to reduce the length of the condensate drain pipes and run them on the inside, as much as possible, before going to the outside. It may also be necessary to insulate the condensate pipe or apply a trace heating device to prevent freezing of the condensate.

The pipes outside the building must be in solvent weld plastic with increased diameter of up to 32 or 40 mm with a maximum run of 3m for connection to a condensate collection soakaway or external drain.

If using a condensate collection soakaway, it must be as indicated in the figure below, or use a specific system (such as Mc Alpine SOAK1GR) available from the majority of plumbing and heating suppliers.

3. Service and maintenance

All adjustment, conversion, startup and maintenance operations described below must only be carried out by Qualified Personnel (meeting the professional technical requirements prescribed by current regulations).

FERROLI declines any liability for damage and/or injury caused by unqualified and unauthorised persons tampering with the unit.

3.1 Adjustments

Gas supply conversion

The unit can operate on natural gas or LPG and is factory-set for use with one of these two gases, as clearly shown on the packing and on the dataplate. If a gas different from that for which the unit is arranged has to be used, a conversion kit will be required, proceeding as follows (fig. 25):

  1. Remove the front panel.
  2. Turn the control panel.
  3. Unscrew the nut "C" and remove gas pipe "A" from the gas valve.
  4. Replace injector "B", inserted in the gas pipe, with that contained in the conversion kit.
  5. Reassemble gas pipe "A" and check the seal of the connection.
  6. Apply the label, contained in the conversion kit, near the dataplate.
  7. Refit the front panel.
  8. Adjust the parameter for the type of gas:

• put the boiler in standby mode
- press the DHW buttons details 1 and 2 - fig. 1 for 10 seconds: the display shows "b01" flashing.
- press the DHW buttons fig. 1 details 1 and 2 - to set parameter 00 (for use with natural gas) or 01 (for use with LPG).
- press the DHW buttons details 1 and 2 - fig. 1 for 10 seconds.
• the boiler will return to standby mode

  1. Check the working pressure

  2. Using a combustion analyser insert probe into the flue test point, check that the CO2 content in the fumes, with the boiler operating at max. and min. power, matches that given in the technical data table for the corresponding type of gas.

3.2 Start-up

FERROLI Modena 32S HE - Start-up - 1

Checks to be made on initial start up, and after all maintenance operations that involved disconnection from the systems or an operation on safety devices or parts of the boiler:

Before lighting the boiler

  • Open any valves between the boiler and the system.
  • Check the tightness of the gas system, proceeding with caution and using a Leack Detection Fluid (LDF) to detect any leaks on any connections.
  • Check correct air pressure of the expansion tank (ref. section "4.4 Technical data table" pag. 30).
  • Fill the water system and make sure 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.
    • Fill the condensate trap and check correct connection of the condensate discharge system.
    • Make sure there are no water leaks in the system, DHW circuits, connections or boiler.
  • Check correct connection of the electrical system and efficiency of the earthing system
    • Make sure there are no flammable liquids or materials in the immediate vicinity of the boiler.

Checks during operation

• Turn the unit on as described in section "1.3 Turning ON and OFF" pag. 5.
• Make sure the fuel circuit and water systems are tight.
- Check the efficiency of the flue exhaust and air ducts while the boiler is working.
- Check the correct tightness and functionality of the condensate discharge system and trap.
• Make sure the water is circulating properly between the boiler and the systems.
- Check proper boiler lighting by doing several tests, turning it on and off with the room thermostat or remote control.
- Using a combustion analyser connected to the flue test point, check that the CO2 content in the fumes, with the boiler operating at max. and min. output, corresponds to that given in the technical data table for the corresponding type of gas.
(Because the combustion for this appliance has been checked, adjusted and preset at the factory, it is only necessary to undertake a further combustion check. If there are operating performance difficulties or the boiler has been converted or if essential components have been replaced further adjustment may be necessary).
- Make sure the gas rate indicated on the meter matches that given in the technical data table on section "4.4 Technical data table" pag. 30.
- Check the correct programming of the parameters and carry out any necessary customization (compensation curve, power, temperatures, etc.).
(As the parameters for each boiler are factory set, there is no requirement to recheck parameters at the time of commissioning unless a gas conversion has been undertaken.)

If the combustion reading is greater than the acceptable value AND the integrity of the complete flue system and combustion circuit seals have been verified and the inlet gas pressure (and gas rate) have been verified, proceed as in section "Setting the Air/Gas Ratio valve" pag. 24.

Setting the Air/Gas Ratio valve

There are two adjustments possible on the air/gas ratio valve, the throttle setting at maximum rate and the offset setting at minimum rate. If either setting is adjusted the combustion values must be rechecked at both rates.

At Maximum Rate:

  1. Adjust the boiler to maximum rate in section 3.3 Test Mode.
  2. Wait 10 minutes to allow the boiler to stabilize.
  3. Now adjust the Throttle setting (fig. 31 - screw A) until the CO2 is at the correct SETTING LEVEL (see table 4), confirm that the CO / CO2 ratio is within limits (clockwise to increase gas).

NOTE: ADJUST IN STEPS OF NO MORE THAN 1/8 OF A TURN AND WAIT 1 MINUTE AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT TO ALLOW THE SETTING TO STABILISE.

In the event that the CO2 setting level with an acceptable CO/CO2 ratio cannot be obtained please contact the helpline number.

Should you require any assistance during the set up procedure call our Technical service helpline or should you require a service engineer to visit call our service centre at numbers listed on last page of this manual.

At Minimum Rate:

  1. Adjust the boiler to minimum output and allow the boiler to stabilize.
  2. Now adjust the offset pressure setting (fig. 31 - cup B) until the CO2 is at the correct SETTING LEVEL (see table 5), confirm that the CO / CO2 ratio is within limits (clockwise to increase gas).

NOTE: ADJUST IN STEPS OF NO MORE THAN 1/8 OF A TURN AND WAIT 1 MINUTE AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT TO ALLOW THE SETTING TO STABILISE.

Re-check the Minimum Rate

Turn off the boiler and then turn it back on and put in Test Mode at maximum for 1 minute. Reduce to minimum and re-check the minimum rate output ensuring the CO2 setting level has remained unchanged and confirm that the CO / CO2 ratio is within limits.

In the event that the CO2 setting level with an acceptable CO/CO2 ratio cannot be obtained please contact the helpline number.

Should you require any assistance during the set up procedure call our Technical service helpline or should you require a service engineer to visit call our service centre at numbers listed on last page of this manual.

Benchmark Commissioning and Servicing Section

It is a requirement that the boiler is installed and commissioned in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and the data fields on the commissioning checklist are completed in full.

To validate the boiler guarantee the boiler needs to be registered with the manufacturer within one month of the installation.

To maintain the boiler guarantee it is essential that the boiler is serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer who has been trained on the boiler installed. The service details should be recorded on the Benchmark Service Interval Record and left with the householder.

benchmark COLLECTIVE MARK THE MARK OF QUALITY FOR THE INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND SERVICING OF DOMESTIC HEATING AND HOT WATER SYSTEMS

www.centralheating.co.uk

This Commissioning Checklist is to be completed in full by the competent person who commissioned the boiler as a means of demonstrating compliance with the appropriate Building Regulations and then handed to the customer to keep for future reference.

Failure to install and commission according to the manufacturer's instructions and complete this Benchmark Commissioning Checklist will invalidate the warranty. This does not affect the customer's statutory rights.
