CSD-1 Field Testing of High Limit Switches for Vitodens boilers – where required by law.
VIESSMANN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT THE FOLLOWING TEST PROCEDURE MAY RESULT
IN BY OVERHEATING THE SYSTEM.
The Vitodens 200 boilers are equipped with flow switches or sensors that when activated enable the burner to operate.
The fixed high limit, when tripped, produces a fault that will require manual reset of the boiler control.
Fixed High Limit fault simulation #1:
-
Close the boiler valve and jumper across the flow switch.
-
Run the boiler at high fire and it will shut down by the coding card (in B2HB models, set coding address 06 to
maximum) but should continue to steady increase the boiler temperature until the fixed high limit is tripped.
-
Once the fixed high limit is tripped, slowly open the boiler valve to safely cool the boiler down.
Fixed High Limit fault simulation #2:
-
Throttle the boiler valve to a point where the burner will run with as little flow as possible.
-
Run the boiler to high fire via relays test.
-
When the burner shuts down on the electronic limit, close the ball valve to stop the flow.
-
The boiler temperature should continue a steady increase to trip the fixed high limit.
-
Once the fixed high limit is tripped, slowly open the boiler valve to safely cool the boiler down.
Fixed High Limit fault simulation #3:
-
Remove one of the wires connected to limit switch, this will produce a fault in the boilers control that requires
manual reset.
Flow Switch Procedure:
The Vitodens 200 B2HB boilers are equipped with a flow sensing device. Upon detection of an inadequate flow rate, the
switch will open and the burner will shut down and will prevent restart until an adequate flow rate is restored. To test the
sensing device, throttle down the flow of water to and from the boiler. The boiler will shut down once the flow has dropped
below it’s safe operating set point.

Mechanical Room
General Information
During the early stages of designing a new home, we recommend that proper consideration be given to constructing a
separate mechanical room dedicated to the gas- or oil-fired heating equipment and domestic hot water storage tank(s).
The boiler must be located in a heated indoor area, near a floor drain, and as close as possible to a wall. Whenever
possible, install the boiler near an outside wall so that it is easy to duct the venting system to the boiler.
Locate the boiler on a wall capable of supporting 115 lb. (52 kg) [the weight of the boiler filled with water]. Ensure
that the boiler location does not interfere with the proper circulation of combustion and ventilation air of other fuel
burning equipment within the mechanical room (if applicable).
The maximum room temperature of the mechanical room where the boiler is located must not exceed 104ºF (40ºC).
H Ensure ambient temperatures are higher than 32°F (0°C)
and lower than 104°F (40°C).
H Prevent the air from becoming contaminated by
halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. as contained in paint
solvents or cleaning fluids) and excessive dust (e.g.
through grinding or polishing work). Combustion air
for the heating process, and ventilation of the boiler
room must be free of corrosive contaminants. To that
end, any boiler must be installed in an area that has no
chemical exposure. The list to the right indicates the
main, currently known sources.
H Avoid continuously high levels of humidity (e.g. through
frequent drying of laundry).
H Never close existing ventilation openings.
Sources of combustion and ventilation air contaminants
Areas likely to contain contaminants:
H New building construction
H Swimming pools
H Remodelling areas, hobby rooms
H Garages with workshops
H Furniture refinishing areas
H Dry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments
H Auto body shops
H Refrigeration repair shops
H Metal fabrication plants
H Plastic manufacturing plants
H Photo processing plants
H Beauty salons
Products containing contaminants:
H Chlorine-type bleaches, detergents and cleaning
solvents found in household laundry rooms
H Paint and varnish removers
H Hydrochloric acid, muriatic acid
H Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
H Spray cans containing chlorofluorocarbons
H Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
H Cements and glues
H Refrigerant leaks
H Calcium chloride used for thawing
H Sodium chloride used for water softening salt
H Permanent wave solutions
H Adhesives used to fasten building products and other
similar items
H Antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers
WARNING
If you notice fire coming from the appliance, call the fire
department immediately! Do not attempt to extinguish
the fire unless qualified to do so.
WARNING
Fire causes a risk of burns and explosion!
H Shut down the boiler
H Close fuel shut-off valves
H Use a tested fire extinguisher, class ABC.
IMPORTANT
The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces,
such as the casing and fan housing, is directly influenced
by proximity to damp and salty marine environments. In
such areas, higher concentration levels of chlorides from
sea spray, coupled with relative humidity, can lead to
degradation of the exposed metallic surfaces mentioned
above. Therefore, it is imperative that boilers installed
in such environments not be installed using direct vent
systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such
boilers must be installed using room air dependent vent
systems; i.e. using room air for combustion. The indoor
air will have a much lower relative humidity and, hence,
potential corrosion will be minimized.
Installation area conditions
WARNING
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the
heating system and put safe operation at risk.

General Information/Set-up
Note: The Vitodens 200-W, B2HB boiler has passed the
zero inches vent clearance to combustibles testing
requirements dictated by the boiler Harmonized
Standard ANSI Z21.13. CSA 4.9.2007 and
therefore is listed for zero clearance to combustibles
when vented with a single-wall special venting
system (AL-29-4C material) or UL/ULC-listed
CPVC/PPs gas vent material. The zero inches
vent clearance to combustibles for the Vitodens
200-W, B2HB boiler supercedes the clearance to
combustibles listing that appears on the special
venting system label.
Before placing boiler in its installation location, ensure all
necessary accessories are installed.
Minimum Clearances
CAUTION
The boiler must be installed in such a way that gas
ignition system components are protected from water

Recommended minimum service clearances
For typical Vitodens installations, Viessmann recommends
installing the boiler with the clearances shown in the
illustration on the left.
Note: The 12 in. (305 mm) side clearance specified is
only recommended to be able to view the boiler
certified rating plate, decal and also accommodate
the PRV installation kit.
If the pressure relief valve is rotated 90º facing forward
by using an extension between the tee and the boiler
connection, then this clearance can be reduced to b in.
(12 mm). This b in. (12 mm) clearance is only required
to be able to remove the boiler’s front cover and view
the rating plate attached to it, if needed.
This reduced clearance is also used in Vitodens multiple
boiler installation system as described in
the multiple boiler installation instructions.
The Vitodens 200-W, B2HB boiler is approved for closet
and alcove installation with the following clearances to
combustibles.

Condensate connection
The Vitodens 200-W B2HB boiler comes with a built-
in condensate trap. An external trap is not required
when connecting the field drain to flexible discharge
tubing. Discharge tubing (field supplied) must be of 1 in.
diameter.
Use CPVC, PVC or other material approved by codes
listed below.
The drain pipe and fittings must conform to ANSI
standards and ASTM D1785 or D2846. CPVC or PVC
cement and primer must conform to ASTM D2564 or
F493. In Canada use CSA or ULC listed schedule 40
CPVC or PVC drain pipe, fittings and cement.
If the condensate outlet of the Vitodens 200-W B2HB
boiler is lower than the drain, a condensate pump must be
installed. Select a pump which is approved for condensing
boiler applications. To avoid condensate spillage, select
a pump with an overflow switch. The drain connection
must terminate into an open or vented drain as close to
the boiler as possible to prevent siphoning of the boiler
drain.
1. Install the condensate drain pipe with a suitable
gradient. Pull the condensate hose so far out of the
boiler that no unnecessary bends are created inside
the boiler. Check tightness of siphon connection.
IMPORTANT
Pipe ventilation must take place between the siphon trap
and the neutralization unit (if applicable).
IMPORTANT
As shipped, the flexible discharge tubing C will be found
to be pushed up inside the boiler housing. Ensure the
condensate drain pipe is pulled down and positioned to
allow the condensate to properly drain.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the drain pipe from any other appliance,
such as water softener backwash pipe, to Vitodens
condensate drain pipe.
2. Discharge condensate from the boiler into the
drainage system, either directly or (if required)
via a neutralization unit (accessory).

Waterside Flow
Waterside flow (primary circuit)
The Vitodens 200-W, B2HB is designed for closed loop,
forced circulation hot water heating systems only.
Use standard friction loss method for pipe sizing. Observe
boiler maximum and minimum flow rate limitations.
If system flow rate exceeds boiler maximum flow rate
(as stated above), falls below the minimum flow rate
or if system flow rate is unknown, Viessmann strongly
recommends the installation of a low-loss header.
Once the low-loss header is connected, the built-in low-
loss header logic of the Vitodens 200-W boiler ensures
the required t across the system through the sensory
communication between the low-loss header and the
boiler.
An alternative method may be used, such as primary
secondary piping using closely spaced tees. A low-loss
header offers additional benefits not provided by a pair
of closely spaced tees. Viessmann therefore strongly
recommends and prefers the use of a low-loss header
over closely spaced tees. Refer to the Technical Data
manual for low-loss header information.

A low water cut-off (LWCO) must be installed where
required by local codes.
Proper installation and functionality in the field is the
responsibility of the heating contractor.
IMPORTANT
DHW supply and return piping between boiler DHW
connections and the Viessmann DHW tank connections,
shall be a minimum of 1¼ in. pipe size. This will ensure
the residual head of the field supplied pump is fully utilized
to overcome the resistance of the DHW heat exchanger
coil and to provide sufficient water flow to the boiler heat
exchanger.
In non-Viessmann DHW tank applications, perform, in
addition to the above, accurate calculations for DHW
tank coil pressure drop versus boiler pump (field supplied)
residual head to ensure sufficient water flow to the boiler
heat exchanger. Failure to heed the above instructions
may cause boiler short-cycling and inadequate DHW
supply.
Clearances
A minimum of 2 in. (51 mm) circumferential clearance
from non-insulated hot water pipes to combustible
construction must be maintained. In cases where the
pipes are insulated with pipe insulation of appropriate
and sufficient thickness and insulation values, the above
clearance may be reduced to 0 in. (refer to local gas
codes).
Note: In the following piping layout examples all pumps
are field supplied.

exchanger must be made of corrosion-resistant materials.
Sizing of field-supplied pump P is critical for proper
boiler operation in this system layout. See page 30 for the

The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigeration
system, must be installed ensuring the chilled medium
is piped in parallel to the boiler with appropriate valves
to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler.
See illustration on the left.
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating boiler
connected to heating coils located in air handling units
where they may be exposed to refrigerated air circulation
must be equipped with flow control valves or other
automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the
boiler water during the cooling cycle.
Check installation instructions of the chiller manufacturer
carefully for additional requirements.
Cooling season starts:
Close valve “v1” and open valve “v2”.
Heating season starts:
Close valve “v2” and open valve “v1”.
IMPORTANT
Viessmann strongly suggests that the
valves illustrated be labelled “v1” and “v2”.
IMPORTANT
In the illustration, the circulating pump
must be operated from a separate on/off
switch, not from the pump aquastat on
