CAUTION. To avoid the possibility of injury during the installation, servicing or cleaning of this appliance care should be taken when handling edges of sheet steel components. All Gas Safe Registered Engineers carry a Gas Safe Register ID card, and have a registration number. Both should be recorded in your Log Book. You can check your installer by calling Gas Safe Register direct on 0800 4085500 Introduction The IMAX XTRA E boilers are fully automatically controlled, floor standing, fanned, super efficient condensing appliances. Due to the very high efficiency, condensate is produced from the flue gases and this is drained to a suitable disposal point through the plastic waste pipe at the bottom of the boiler. A condensate 'plume' will also often be visible at the flue terminal. Safety Current Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations or rules in force. In your own interest, and that of safety, it is the law that this boiler must be installed and maintained by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE a competent person, in accordance with the above regulations. The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE a competent person. It is essential that the instructions in this booklet are strictly followed, for safe and economical operation of the boiler. Electricity Supply The appliance must be earthed. Supply 230 V - 50 Hz. The fusing should be 7A for E320-E560. This appliance is intended to be connected to the supply via two double-pole switches, having a 3mm contact separation in both poles, serving only the boiler and system controls. Alternatively, two 3-pin UNSWITCHED sockets may be used. Important Notes • This appliance must not be operated without the casing correctly fitted. • Do not store objects around or on the boiler, and keep access clear at all times. • Do not obstruct ventilation ducts, grilles or openings in the boiler room, room space or compartment that the appliance is installed in, or the passage of combustion and ventilation to the boiler. • Do not turn off the boiler if it is to be left unattended in frosty weather. • If it is known or suspected that a fault exists on the boiler then it MUST NOT BE USED until the fault has been corrected by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE a competent person. • Flammable materials must not be placed in close proximity to the appliance. Materials giving off flammable vapours must not be stored in the same room as the appliance. In cases of repeated or continuous shutdown a Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE a competent person should be called to investigate and rectify the condition causing this and carry out an operational test after each intervention on the device. Only the manufacturers original parts should be used for replacement.

GENERAL 4 IMAX XTRA - Installation & Servicing INTRODUCTION Th IMAX XTRA E boilers are fully automatically controlled, floor standing, fanned, super efficient condensing appliances. The imax xtra comprises of 2 modules, Master and Slave. The comprehensive boiler controls built into the appliance include: - 0-10V Boiler control input - Volt free 'alarm' contacts (lockout) - Volt free 'boiler run' contacts - Burner hours run meters - System temperature indication The boilers can draw their combustion air from the room or via ducting from outside. Through a sophisticated control system combined with premix burner technology and an aluminium heat exchanger, the boilers are capable of high operating efficiencies of 93% (gross) and low emissions. These boilers are certified to meet the requirements of the EC Gas Appliance Directive, Boiler Efficiency Directive, EMC and Low Voltage Directive. OPTIONAL EXTRA KITS • Modulating Sequencer - DHW Sensor - Room Sensor • Programmable Room Stat • Outside Sensor (only suitable for use in conjunction with Prog. Room Stat) • Water and Gas Header Pack • RS Air Duct Connector (E320 and E400 only) • Horizontal Flue Header * • Vertical Flue Header * * A flue header kit (horizontal or vertical) must be fitted to boiler. SAFETY Current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations or rules in force The appliance is suitable only for installation in GB and IE and should be installed in accordance with the rules in force. In GB, the installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE by a competent person. It must be carried out in accordance with the relevant requirements of the: • Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations • The appropriate Building Regulations either The Building Regulations, The Building Regulations (Scotland), Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). • The Water Fittings Regulations or Water byelaws in Scotland. • The Current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations. Where no specific instructions are given, reference should be made to the relevant British Standard Code of Practice. In IE, the installation must be carried out by a Competent Person and installed in accordance with the current Building Regulations and reference should be made to the current ETCI rules for electrical installation. The boilers have been tested by BSI and conform to EN483 and EN677 for use with Natural Gas. Detailed recommendations are contained in the following Standards and Codes of Practice: BS. 5854 Flue and flue Structures in Buildings. BS. 6644 Installation of gas fired hot water boilers of rated inputs between 70kW and 1.8MW (net) (2nd and 3rd family gases). BS. 6880 Low temperature hot water heating systems of output greater than 45kW. Part 1 Fundamental and design considerations. Part 2 Selection of equipment. Part 3 Installation, commissioning and maintenance. IGE/UP/1 Soundness testing and purging of industrial and commercial gas installations. IGE/UP/2 Gas installation pipework, boosters and compressors on industrial and commercial premises. IGE/UP/10 Installation of gas appliances in industrial and commercial premises. SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCES No asbestos, mercury or CFCs are included in any part of the boiler or its manufacture. FOUNDATION / LOCATION OF BOILER The boiler must stand on a floor which must be flat, level and of a suitable load bearing capacity to support the weight of the boiler (when filled with water) and any ancillary equipment. Ideally the boiler should be placed on a plinth exceeding the plan area of the boiler by 75mm on each side and at least 100mm high. The boiler must not be fitted outside. GAS SUPPLY 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 Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE by a competent person. An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply required. A minimum working gas pressure of 15mbar MUST be available at the boiler inlet for Natural gas. Do not use pipes of smaller size than the boiler inlet gas connection. The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness and purged in accordance with the appropriate standards. Gas Boosters A gas booster is required if the gas pressure available at the boiler is lower than that required by the boiler manufacturer to attain the flow rate for maximum burner input rating. Location of the booster requires careful consideration but should preferably be closer to the burner rather than the gas meter. Ventilation should also be considered to ensure ambient temperature do not exceed designed recommendations. Further guidance is provided in IGE/UP/2.
