3.1 ALDE WATER HEATING SYSTEM
Operating Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully before using the boiler. These instructions are approved for
The Alde Compact 3010 boiler fitted in Leisure Homes, in accordance with CE no. EMC e5 02 0138,
845 BP-0003. Installation and repairs may only be carried out by a professional. National regulations
must be adhered to.
3.1.1 Boiler Design
The boiler consists of three eccentrically-fitted cylinders (heat exchanger, water jacket for the heating
system and, outermost, water jacket for hot water). The two outer pipes, and their ends and connections,
are made of stainless steel, while the heat exchanger is made of aluminium. The heat exchanger is
divided into two semi-circles. The burner is located in the upper half, being the combustion chamber,
and the combustion gases are expelled through the lower half. The burner unit is fitted on the end of the
heat exchanger. It consists of a combustion fan, burner, solenoid valve and intake/exhaust connections.
Two heating cartridges are fitted to the water jacket of the heating system. Maximum output is 2 or 3
kW, depending on model.
3.1.2 Description of Functions
Using 230v
The boiler is shown to have 230v power supply by the two pin plug in the upper right corner of the digital
control panel. If this symbol is not shown, please check that the remote 230v isolator switch for the Alde
system is in the on position. Once the two pin plug symbol is shown, you can select a choice of one, two
or three kilowatt power according to the supply available.
Using LPG
When LPG operation is selected on the control panel, the combustion fan starts. When the fan speed
is correct, it signals the circuit board that the boiler can be lit. The circuit board sends ignition sparks to
the spark plug at the same time as it sends electricity to the solenoid valve, which opens to allow gas in.
The burner ignites, and a sensor transmits a signal back to the circuit board that the boiler is lit, and the
ignition spark stops. The burner keeps burning until the boiler thermostat or the room thermostat reaches
the set temperature reading. Should the boiler go out for any reason, the sensor is activated and a new
attempt is made to start the boiler (in about 10 seconds).
Using the heating cartridge
Electrical operation is selected on the control panel, the 12-volt relays on the circuit board trip, allowing
the 230 volt supply to reach the electrical elements. The heating cartridge is controlled in the same way
as the gas boiler.
Warm water
When only warm water is required, for example during the summer, no settings need to be made, the
boiler will look after this function automatically.
The pump will only start when the temperature in the vehicle is lower than the set temperature (see
item 4, Control Panel).
If the vehicle temperature is higher, the pump will not start.
Important Information
▲ The boiler must not be started if there is no glycol in the system.
▲ The LPG boiler and heating cartridge may be operated in parallel.
▲ The heating system may be heated up without the warm water heater being filled with
fresh water.
