Commissioning
IMPORTANT The heater primary circuit
contains Sentinel X500 inhibitor/anti-freeze.
The minimum water should be released
during fi lling to maintain its concentration.
The elimination of air from the heat exchanger is es-
sential to maximise the life of the heater. It is strongly
recommended that the heater is fi rst operated with the
GAS OFF until the air has been purged.
If air has not been released then there is a possibility of
the heater overheating and triggering one of its safety
thermostats. An Air Vent is provided on the top of the
Heat Exchanger (See Fig 8.0) to assist its removal. It is
opened and closed by rotating the front connector.
A second vent is a standard radiator vent in the right-
hand Side Panel.
A button has been provided to just operate the internal
pump (See Fig 8.1) to aid de-aerating. Mains connec-
tion to heater required. See Page 6 for more details.
Commissioning Procedure
The heater control is factory set to display in fahrenheit
and work to a maximum temperature of 90°F (32°C).
If a centigrade display or higher temperature 106°F
(41°C) maximum is required, enter User Setup Mode.
(See Page 17)
The boiler is factory set for Natural Gas and fi tted with
automatic ignition and will start when the gas cock is
open, mains is connected and the pressure switch is
activated by the pool pump. (for greater detail about
the internal controls see the Maintenance section,
Fault Diagnosis)LPG models require to be modifi ed as
described on page 12.

It is recommended that the condensate trap is full of
water before fi ring. If the heater fails to light the gas it
will shutdown and try again. It will repeat this a total of 5
times and then locks out. This will show as the Red LED
lit and ‘GAS’ on the display. Press the Lock/Reset button
to start another 5 attempts.
It is possible with the front door off to see when the
burner is lit through the sight glass (See Fig. 8.2).
After the burner has been lit for a few minutes the gas
rate and combustion should be checked, see the Tech-
nical Data on Inside Cover for details.
The heater is factory set and should not require adjust-
ment. When the heater has been operating for at least
10 minutes check all joints, gas and water, for leaks, and
correct where necessary.
When operating satisfactorily, complete the commission-
ing details on the inside back page of these instructions.
The boiler is fi tted with a syphon trap that includes
a blocked drain detection device. This is to
safeguard the boiler from a blockage or the
possible freezing of the condensate pipe work in
extreme weather.
Should this happen the control will lockout and the display
will show ‘HI’, as in “condensate level is high”. See the
Fault Finding section for more details.
This will have to be corrected before the heater will operate.
The user should be made aware of this feature and, that in
the event of blocked or frozen condensate pipework, the
boiler will automatically stop functioning.
It will start again as soon as the blockage has cleared.
Finally, instruct the user on heaters operation and controls.
