3.2 Principle components


-- A fully integrated electronic control board featuring electronic temperature control, self diagnostic fault indicator, continuous gas modulation.
-- Electronic ignition with flame supervision.
-- Fan.
-- Differential air pressure switch.
-- Two-stage gas valve.

3.3 Mode of operation


When there is a request for hot water via a hot water outlet or tap, the water flow switch senses water movement thereby energizing the fan, the
fan proves the differential air pressure switch which in-turn allows an ignition sequence to begin.
Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry to ensure flame stability at the burner. Once successful ignition has been achieved, the electronic
circuitry increases the gas rate to maximum or modulates to suit the set requirement.
When the appliance reaches the desired temperature the burner will modulate to maintain the desired temperature. Should the temperature
continue to increase, the burner will shut off when the maximum operating temperature is attained.
When the request for hot water has been satisfied the appliance fan may continue to operate to dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.

3.4 Safety devices


When the appliance is in use, safe operation is ensured by:
-- a high limit thermostat that over-rides the temperature control circuit to prevent or interrupt the operation of the burner;
-- a differential air pressure switch that checks the operation of the fan and flue thereby allowing safe operation of the burner;
-- a flame supervision device that will shut off the gas supply to the burner if

3.8 Flue system


The terminal should be located where the dispersal of combustion
products is not impeded and with due regard for the damage and
discoloration that may occur to building products located nearby.
The terminal must not be located in a place where it is likely to cause
a nuisance. In cold and/or humid weather, water vapor may condense
on leaving the terminal; the effect of such pluming must be consid-
ered. If installed less than 2m above a pavement or platform to which
people have access (including balconies or flat roofs) the terminal
must be protected by a guard of durable material. The guard must be
fitted centrally over the terminal.
Refer to BS 5440 Part 1, when the terminal is 0,5 metres (or less) be-

NOTE
When cutting an extension to the required length, you must ensure
that the excess is cut from the plain end of the extension. Remove any C
burrs, and check that any seals are located properly.
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly supported and

Twin flue system B
The Vokèra twin flue system enables greater flue distances to be
achieved than that of a concentric flue system. It can be used for
horizontal or vertical applications, however the twin flue system must
be converted to the dedicated concentric flue kit for termination. It is
essential that the installation of the twin flue system be carried out in
strict accordance with these instructions.

ING.
-- Compare the performance of the appliance with its design specifi-
cation. The cause of any noticeable deterioration should be identi-
fied and rectified without delay.
-- Thoroughly inspect the appliance for signs of damage or deteriora-
tion especially the flue system and the electrical apparatus.
-- Check and adjust – if necessary – all burner pressure settings (see

8 CHECKS, ADJUSTMENTS, AND 8.3 Checking and adjusting burner pressure
FAULT FINDING Altough the burner pressure is factory set, it is necessary to check
it during servicing or if the gas valve has been removed. Isolate the
appliance from the electrical supply and attach a suitable manometer
8.1 Checking appliance operation to the gas valve outlet test nipple.
When carrying out any repairs or servicing to the appliance, the rel-
evant commissioning procedure must be undertaken to ensure the
continued safe operation of the appliance. Particular attention should
be made to ensure gas soundness, water soundness, and the electri-
cal integrity of the appliance.

8.2 Appliance mode of operation


When there is a request for hot water via a hot water outlet or tap, the
water flow switch senses water movement thereby energising the fan.

bbThere must be sufficient inlet water pressure and flow (min.


0,15 bar/ 2 lpm) to ensure the water flow switch is activated.
If there is insufficient pressure and/or flow, the appliance will
be prevented from operating. When the fan runs, it proves the
differential air pressure switch which in-turn allows an ignition
sequence to begin.
bbThe ignition sequence lasts approximately 7 seconds, during
which the appliance will continue to spark even if the burner
has already lit. If the spark/sensing electrode does not sense
ignition the appliance will then go to lockout. Ignition is sensed
by the electronic circuitry to ensure flame stability at the burner.
Once successful ignition has been achieved, the electronic cir-
cuitry allows the full gas rate through the appliance. When the
appliance reaches the desired temperature the burner will mod- SETTING THE MAXIMUM BURNER PRESSURE

clockwise to decrease the burner pressure.
bbYou should ensure that one or two hot water outlets are fully
open during the above procedure. This will ensure that the out-
put of the appliance (burner pressure) is not compromised due
to a high outlet temperature.

SETTING THE MINIMUM BURNER PRESSURE


Once the maximum burner pressure has been checked and/or adjust-
ed, remove one of the grey wires from the modulating coil. Compare
the reading on the manometer with the value described in 2.2 TECH-
NICAL DATA. If adjustement is required, turn the inner (red) cross-
head screw clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease
the burner pressure, whilst ensuring that the outer (10mm) nut does
not move. When checking and/or adjustement has been completed,
isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, replace the protective
cap, refit the grey wire to the modulating coil, remove the manometer,
and tighten the outlet test nipple.
bbA gas soundness check must be carried out.

9.1 Gas supply
The gas supply must be connected to the appliance by a competent
LPG installer and must be of sufficient size to supply the appliance at
its maximum output.
An existing supply must be checked to ensure that it is of adequate
size to deal with the maximum rated input of this and any other appli-
ances that it serves.

9.2 Gas supply installation


The entire installation, including the meter, must be purged and
checked for gas soundness.

9.3 Checking and adjusting burner pressure


Although the burner pressure is factory set, it is necessary to check
it during servicing or if the gas valve has been removed. Isolate the
appliance from the electrical supply and attach a suitable manometer
to the gas valve outlet test nipple.

SETTING THE MAXIMUM BURNER PRESSURE


Light the appliance as described in 6.6 and compare the reading on
the manometer with the value described in 2.2 TECHNICAL DATA. If
adjustement is required, remove the protective cap from the gas valve

Benchmark Commissioning and
Servicing Section
It is a requirement that the boiler is installed and commissioned to the
manufacturers instructions and the data fields on the commissioning checklist
completed in full.

To instigate 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.
