FEATURES
1.1.1 Operation
The AY appliances are outdoor condensing boilers capa-
ble of producing hot water up to 88 °C.
The range includes three models: AY 35, AY 50, AY 100.
The boiler casing is approved to resist weathering with
particular regard to the action of UV rays.
The operation of the appliance is managed by one of the
following controls (Paragraph 1.5 p. 13):
▶ DDC control
▶ external request (chronothermostat, room thermostat
or other operating request)
When the heat supply is requested, the electronic board
starts the system water pump, the blower and then the
burner.
When the burner starts up, the flame detector checks that
the burner has ignited; in the event of a lack of flame, the
electronic control unit retries ignition several times and if
this fails, it stops the appliance and displays the lock-out.
The reset is manual.
In the event of abnormal overheating of the delivery, the
boiler is switched off. The limit thermostat has manual
reset.

ELECTRONIC BOARDS
The unit's electrical board contains:
▶ Electronic board MIAH410, with microprocessor, it
controls the appliance and displays data, messages
and operative codes. The appliance is monitored and
programmed by interacting with the control panel on
the boiler.
▶ CAN-NDG electronic board, controls CAN bus com-
munication with the DDC panel.
1.5
CONTROLS
1.5.1 Control device
The appliance may only work if it is connected to a control
device, selected from:
▶ DDC control
▶ external request
1.5.2 DDC Controller
The DDC control is able to manage one or more Robur ap-
pliances in ON/OFF mode (GAHP heat pumps, GA chillers)
or modulating mode (AY boilers).
The main functions are:
▶ Adjustment and control of one (or more) Robur units
of the absorption line (GAHP, GA, AY).
▶ Data display and parameters setting.
▶ Hourly programming.
▶ Climatic curve control.
▶ Diagnostics.
▶ Errors reset.
▶ Possibility to interface with a BMS.
DDC functionality may be extended with auxiliary Robur
devices RB100 and RB200 (e.g. service requests, DHW pro-
duction, third party generator control, probe control, sys-
tem valves or circulating pumps, ...).
For further details refer to the DDC, RB100, RB200
manuals and the design manual.
1.5.3 External request
The appliance may also be controlled via generic request
devices (e.g. thermostat, timer, switch, contactor...) fitted
with voltage-free NO contact. This system only provides
elementary control, hence without the important func-
tions of the DDC control. It is advisable to possibly lim-
it its use to simple applications only and with a single
appliance.
In the case of the AY 100 appliance, two separate
requests must be provided for the two thermal
modules that make up the appliance.
For connection of the selected device to the appli-
ance's electronic board please refer to Paragraph
4.4.5 p. 29.

The appliance is equipped with its own 10 l internal
expansion tank and with a safety valve. Depending
on the water content of the system, assess the
need for additional expansion tanks.
3.2.4 System filling
For the calculation of the total water content to
be loaded in the system it is necessary to add the
water content of the boiler (Table 1.1 p. 13) and
of the distribution terminals to the water content
in the pipes and in other elements that make up
the system (tanks, hydraulic separators, etc.).
Proceed with the filling of the system as follows.
A filling tap on the system must be provided for fill-
ing the system.
At the first power supply and each time the power
supply is restored, an automatic system venting
cycle is activated. The display will show the code
F33 for the entire duration of the cycle (5 minutes
for the first power supply, 2 minutes for the fol-
lowing ones).
To access the display, remove the front panel of the
boiler, as shown in Figure 5.1 p. 31.
3.2.4.1 AY 35

5. Make sure that the unit is energized.
6. Send an operating request to the unit for a few sec-
onds. The circulating pump will be immediately
activated.
7. Remove the request before the burner is activated.
The circulating pump will continue to circulate the wa-
ter for the post-circulation time.
8. If, after the above operations, a decrease in system wa-
ter pressure is observed, open again the system filling
tap until the system pressure reaches 1,5 bar.
9. Repeat items 6, 7, 8 until the pressure has stabilised (at
least 1,5 bar).
10. After the operation, make sure that the system filling
tap is tightly closed.
Once the filling operation has been completed,
close the cap of the jolly valve on the condensing
block, to avoid water leaks.

6. Operations 1 to 5 are to be carried out on both con-
densation blocks of the AY 100 model.
7. Pressurize the hydraulic system, making sure that the
water pressure indicated by the pressure gauge is not
less than 1,5 bar.
8. Make sure that the unit is energized.
9. Send an operating request to the unit for a few sec-
onds. The circulating pump will be immediately
activated.
10. Remove the request before the burner is activated.
The circulating pump will continue to circulate the wa-
ter for the post-circulation time.
11. If, after the above operations, a decrease in system wa-
ter pressure is observed, open again the system filling
valve until the system pressure reaches 1,5 bar.
12. Repeat items 9, 10, 11 until the pressure has stabilised
(at least 1,5 bar).

3.2.4.3 Water pump air vent
How to vent the water pumps of AY appliances
1. Turn off the system by means of provided control de-
vices and wait for the water pumps to stop.
2. Disassemble the front panel of the unit.
3. Close the shut-off valve on the outlet and open the up-
per vent valve (Figure 3.3 p. 20, detail B).
4. When the air is all out, replaced by a constant flow of
water, close the upper vent valve and open the shut-
off valve on the outlet.
5. Close the shut-off valve on the inlet and open the low-
er vent valve (Figure 3.3 p. 20, detail C).
6. When the air is all out, replaced by a constant flow of
water, close the lower vent valve and open the shut-off
valve on the inlet.
7. Reactivate the system and let water flow (with burner
off).
8. If the air vent has been properly completed, reassem-
ble the front panel of the unit. If not, repeat the proce-
dure from step 3.
The correct filling and air venting of the hydraulic
system are fundamental to ensure reliability over
time of the mechanical components, in particular
the circulation pumps.

3.2.5 Pump antifreeze and anti-lock function
Heating antifreeze function
If the outlet water temperature detected by the
water temperature probe inside the boiler falls
below the antifreeze activation value (default 12
°C, settable via parameter P81), the control board
starts the water pump and the ignition of the burn-
er at minimum power.
When the outlet water temperature reaches 30 ºC
or the inlet water temperature reaches 20 °C (anti-
freeze temperature OFF) the control board will turn
off the burner.
Electrical and gas continuity
The antifreeze function is only effective if the power
and gas supplies are assured. Otherwise, antifreeze
fluid in the system water might be required.
Pump anti-lock function
In order to prevent the circulation pump from lock-
ing, the boiler is equipped with an anti-lock func-
tion which, every 24 hours of inactivity, operates
the circulation pump for 30 seconds.
Electrical continuity
The pump anti-lock function is only effective if the
power supply is guaranteed.
3.2.6 Antifreeze liquid
Precautions with glycol
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for any
damage caused by improper glycol use.
� Always check product suitability and its expiry
date with the glycol supplier. Periodically check the
product's preservation state.
� Do not use car-grade antifreeze liquid (without
inhibitors), nor zinc-coated piping and fittings (in-
compatible with glycol).
� Glycol modifies the physical properties of water
(density, viscosity, specific heat...). Size the piping,
circulation pump and thermal generators accord-
ingly.
� With automatic system water filling, a periodic
check of the glycol content is required.
In the presence of glycol
In the presence of glycol it is necessary to warn the
TAC before the first start-up and to set parameter
P52 correctly.
When producing DHW by DHW buffer tank, use
propylene glycol only.
3.2.6.1 Type of antifreeze glycol
Inhibited type glycol is recommended to prevent oxida-
tion phenomena.
3.2.6.2 Glycol effects
The Table 3.1 p. 20 shows, indicatively, the effects of us-
ing a glycol depending on its %.

3.2.7 System water quality
Responsibility of the user/operator/installer
The installer, operator and user must assure system
water quality (Table 3.2 p. 21). Failure to comply
with the manufacturer's guidelines may affect op-
eration, integrity and life of the appliance, voiding
the warranty.
3.2.7.1 System water characteristics
In order to avoid any scale or deposits on the pri-
mary exchanger, the water in the system must be
treated in accordance with the applicable stand-
ards. This treatment is absolutely essential in cases
where there are frequent episodes of water supply
or partial or total emptying of the system.
The filling and top-up water brings a certain amount of
calcium into the system. This is attached to the hot parts
including the heat exchanger, thus creating pressure
drops and thermal insulation on the active parts. This can
lead to damage.
If the filling and top-up water of the system is outside the
values indicated below, it must be softened and/or chem-
ically treated. Additives may also be added to keep the
calcium in solution. Hardness should be checked regularly
and recorded on the system logbook.
The choice of the type of treatment must be made accord-
ing to the characteristics of the water to be treated, the
type of plant and the limits of purity required.

Gas not available for Caldaia 35 Tech, Caldaia 35 Tech ACS, Caldaria 35, AY 35.
Before proceeding with the construction of the system,
the installer must:
▶ Check that the gas used corresponds to that for which
the appliance has been designed (see nameplate).
▶ Check that the flow rate of the gas meter is such as
to ensure the simultaneous use of all the devices con-
nected to it.
Although it is normal for the inlet pressure to de-
crease during the operation of the appliance, it is
important to check that there are no excessive fluc-
tuations in the inlet pressure. In order to limit the
extent of these variations, it is necessary to appro-
priately define the diameter of the gas inlet pipe
to be adopted based on the length and pressure
drop of the pipe itself, from the gas meter to the
appliance.
If fluctuations in the gas distribution pressure
happen, it is advisable to insert a special pressure
stabiliser upstream of the gas inlet to the appliance.
In case of LPG supply, all necessary precautions
must be taken to avoid freezing of the combustible
gas in case of very low external temperatures.
If it is necessary to change the type of gas supply
to the appliance, contact the TAC that will make the
necessary changes.
Installation, use and maintenance manual – AY

Under no circumstances shall the installer be au-
thorised to carry out such operations.
3.3.5 Vertical pipes and condensate
▶ If needed, vertical gas pipes must be fitted with siphon
and discharge of the condensate that may form inside
the pipe.
▶ If needed, insulate the piping.
3.3.6 LPG pressure reducers
With LPG the following must be installed:
▶ A first stage pressure reducer, close to the liquid gas
tank.
▶ A second stage pressure reducer, close to the appli-
ance.

COMBUSTION PRODUCTS EXHAUST
Installation types
The appliance is approved for connection to a
combustion products exhaust duct for the types
shown in Table 1.1 p. 13.
3.4.1 Flue gas exhaust connection
▶ AY 35: Ø 80 mm
▶ AY 50: Ø 80 mm
▶ AY 100: Ø 80 mm (2 independent flue gas exhausts)
on the upper side of the boiler (Paragraph 1.2 p. 7).
The rain cover, supplied, must be mounted on the flue gas
exhaust pipe to protect the internal components of the
boiler (detail E, Figure 3.4 p. 23).
The combustion air is drawn from the outside of the cas-
ing by means of special louvres.
3.4.2 Flue gas exhaust kit
The appliance, supplied in B53P configuration, is stand-
ard supplied with a DN80 flue gas kit, to be set up by the
installer.

3.4.2.1 How to install the flue gas kit
The protection cover has the purpose of preventing
ingress of water and/or foreign matter into the ap-
pliance before installation of the flue gas kit. It is
therefore important to remove the protection only
upon completing installation of the kit.
Figure 3.4 p. 23:
1. Remove the protective cap on the top panel of the
appliance.
2. Check that the gasket G is correctly positioned on the
combustion chamber (Figure 3.5 p. 24).
3. Position the gasket A of the flanged socket B at the ap-
propriate holes for the fixing screws C.
4. Poistion the flanged socket B over the gasket A and se-
cure the assembly with the appropriate fixing screws
C.
5. Position the rain cover D on the flanged socket B, mak-
ing sure that it fits underneath the flue gas analysis
socket.
6. Insert the flue gas exhaust pipe E into the flanged
socket B.
7. Fit the terminal F on the extension pipe E inside the
dedicated socket.
Take care to fit the rain cover below the flue gas
analysis socket on the flanged socket in such a way
that it is still accessible.
It is important to check the correct positioning
of the gasket G positioned on the combustion
chamber (Figure 3.5 p. 24).
Incorrect positioning of the gasket G can compro-
mise the correct discharge of the flue gas outside
and consequently damage the appliance.

3.4.3 Possible flue
If required, the appliance may be connected to a flue ap-
propriate for condensing appliances.
▶ To size the flue refer to Table 3.4 p. 24 and design
manual.
▶ Use ducts and terminals suitable for forced draft con-
densing appliances.
▶ If several appliances are connected to a single flue, it
is obligatory to install a check valve on the flue gas ex-
haust of each.
▶ The flue must be designed, sized, tested and con-
structed by a skilled firm, with materials and compo-
nents complying with the regulations in force in the
country of installation.
▶ Always provide a socket for flue gas analysis, in an ac-
cessible position.
▶ The horizontal sections for flue gas exhaust must al-
ways be mounted on a slope towards the appliance (3°
slope = 5 mm per metre of pipe).
▶ For vertical ducts longer than 1,5 m, a curve and a
Tee (Figure 3.6 p. 24) for condensate collection and
drainage must be provided. The condensate must
then be evacuated in accordance with the regulations
in force, at the same time as that coming from inside
the boiler.
In case the check valves are installed outside, an
appropriate UV ray protection must be assured (if
the valve is in plastic) as well as protection from
potential winter freezing of condensate backflow
into the siphon.
The connection of the discharge to the sewerage
system must be made at atmospheric pressure, i.e.
by dripping into a siphoned container connected
to the sewerage system.

FLUE GAS CONDENSATE DRAIN
The provided condensate drain hose must be connected
to a suitable collection and disposal system in accordance
with the applicable regulations in force.
Installation, use and maintenance manual – AY

It will be the responsibility of the designer and/or the in-
staller and/or the person in charge of the system, depend-
ing on the power of the system and intended use of the
building, to assess the adoption of systems for the neu-
tralization of acid condensate.
The system must be designed in such a way as to prevent
condensation from freezing. Before commissioning the
appliance, check that the condensate is drained correctly.
To do this, disconnect the hose from the siphon outlet and
pour water into it, making sure that it is correctly and com-
pletely drained from the downstream drainage system.
Do not use gutters to discharge the condensate
Do not discharge the flue condensate in gut-
ters, due to the risk of materials corrosion and ice
formation.
3.5.1 Flue gas condensate connection
The fitting for flue gas condensate drain is located on the
right side of the appliance (Paragraph 1.2 p. 7) at the
connection plate.
The connection of the discharge to the sewerage system
should be made at atmospheric pressure, i.e. by dripping
into a siphoned container connected to the sewerage
system.
3.5.2 Flue gas condensate drain manifold
To make the condensate drain manifold:
▶ Size the ducts for maximum condensation flow rate
(Table 1.1 p. 13).
▶ Use plastic materials resistant to acidity pH 3-5.
▶ Provide for min. 1% slope, i.e. 1 cm for each m of the
length (otherwise a booster pump is required).
▶ Prevent freezing.
▶ Dilute, if possible, with domestic waste water (e.g.
bathrooms, washing machines, dish washers...), basic
and neutralising.
3.5.3 Condensate drain siphon filling
When switching on for the first time, the condensate si-
phon must be filled to prevent the combustion gases
from backflowing through the siphon.
It is advisable, after the first few months of operation of
the appliance, to clean the siphon, which collects also any
deposits resulting from the first passage of the conden-
sate inside the components of the appliance. These de-
posits could cause the siphon itself to malfunction.

4.4.5.1 Thermostat/chronothermostat location
Install the thermostat/chronothermostat according to the
following guidelines:
▶ Place it inside the heated room, in an area that is rep-
resentative of the room temperature, at about 1,5 m
from the floor, protected from draughts, direct expo-
sure to sunlight, influence by direct heating sources
(lamps, hot air flows, etc.).
▶ Avoid installation on walls bordering the outside, to
avoid distortion on the detected temperature and
therefore affect system operation. Otherwise, shield

guaranteed.
4.4.5.2 0-10 V input
Control via 0-10 V signal is alternative to control via
DDC panel or external request.
The 0-10 V signal connection is only available on AY 35
and AY 50 models.
Either the water temperature setpoint or the power value
can be communicated alternatively via a 0-10 V analogue
signal.
The meaning to be given to the 0-10 V input is chosen by
appropriately configuring the boiler board parameters
(Paragraph 5.3 p. 31).
The 0-10 V signal should be connected to the 0-10
terminals as shown in Figure 4.10 p. 30.
The cable may not be longer than 30 metres.

FIRST START-UP
First start-up entails checking/setting up the com-
bustion parameters and may exclusively be carried
out by a Robur TAC. NEITHER the user NOR the in-
stallation technician is authorised to perform such
operations, under penalty of voiding the warranty.
5.1
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
5.1.1 Preliminary checks for first start-up
Upon completing installation, before contacting the TAC
the installer must check:
▶ Water, electrical and gas systems suitable for the re-
quired capacities and equipped with all safety and
control devices required by the regulations in force.
▶ Absence of leaks in the water and gas systems.
▶ Type of gas for which the appliance is designed (natu-
ral gas or LPG).
▶ Supply gas pressure complying with the values of
Table 3.3 p. 21.
▶ Correct operation of the flue exhaust duct.
▶ Power supply mains complying with the appliance's
rating plate data.
▶ Appliance correctly installed, according to the manu-
facturer's provisions.
▶ System installed in a workmanlike manner, according
to national and local regulations.
5.1.2 Abnormal or hazardous installation
situations
Should any abnormal or hazardous installation situations
be found, the TAC shall not perform first start-up and the
appliance shall not be commissioned.
These situations may be:
▶ Failed compliance with minimum clearances.
▶ Insufficient distance from combustible or flammable
materials.
▶ Conditions that do not warrant access and mainte-
nance in safety.
▶ Appliance switched on/off with the main switch, in-
stead of the provided control device.
▶ Appliance defects or faults caused during transport or
installation.
▶ Gas smell.
▶ Non-compliant mains gas pressure.
▶ Non-compliant flue gas exhaust.
▶ All situations that may involve operation abnormali-
ties or are potentially hazardous.
5.1.3 Non-compliant system and corrective
actions
Should the TAC find any non conformities, the user/install-
er is bound to perform any corrective procedures required
by the TAC.
After performing the remedial actions (the installer's re-
sponsibility), if the TAC deems that safety and conformity
conditions are in place, first start-up may be effected.
5.2
HOW TO ACCESS THE BOILER
For all control and maintenance operations, it is necessary
to remove the front panel of the boiler as described below.
The other panels cannot be removed as they are structural.
Remove the front panel of the boiler as follows:
1. Open lock A with the triangle key supplied with the

allowed only when the operation is completed.
To check and calibrate the CO2 value at maximum and
minimum power, proceed as follows, referring to Figure
5.6 p. 37.
The CO2 values and other parameters useful to verify com-
bustion are summarized in Table 5.4 p. 37.
▶ Power the boiler.
▶ Open the gas valve on the boiler and check that the
valves connecting to the system are open.
▶ Activate the heating request to the boiler, through the
control devices provided, and provide an adequate
thermal load for carrying out the verification opera-
tions.
▶ Insert the flue gas analyser into the flue gas analyser
socket and turn it on.
The flue gas analysis socket is positioned on the
flanged socket (detail PF, Figure 5.7 p. 37).
For the AY 100 model, each thermal module has
its own flue gas outlet and consequently its own
flue gas analysis socket. The checks of each module
must be carried out separately.

COMMISSIONING
1. Remove the boiler front panel (Paragraph 5.2 p. 30).
2. Power the boiler.
The ignition system will automatically activate
the system venting cycle function shown in the
display with the code F33, which lasts 2 minutes
(except the first time the appliance is switched
on, where the duration is 5 minutes).
When function F33 is active, the pump is activated
at intervals and the burner ignition request is disa-
bled. The regular operation of the boiler is allowed
only when the operation is completed.
3. Make sure that the circulator is not locked.
4. If it is locked, wait for the circulator to perform the au-
tomatic unlocking function (duration 3 minutes).
5. If the circulator is still locked, reactivate the automatic
unlocking function of the circulator (a further 3 min-
utes) by power cycling the boiler.
6. At the end of the above operations, open the gas tap.
7. To switch the boiler to the heating operating mode,
press the
key; the fixed
symbol will ap-
pear on the display, indicating that the function has
been activated.
8. When there is a request for service from the provided
control device, the burner ignition will start.
9. In case of lack of flame, the board repeats the igni-
tion operations again after the post-ventilation (20
seconds).
10. It may be necessary to repeat the ignition operation
several times to remove any air in the gas pipe. Before
repeating the operation, wait about 5 seconds from
the last ignition attempt and unlock the boiler from
error code E12 by pressing the reset key
.
11. Check the system pressure. If a decrease is observed,
open the filling tap again until the pressure reaches
1,5 bar. After the operation, close the filling tap again.

MAINTENANCE
Correct maintenance prevents problems, assures
efficiency and keeps running costs low.
Maintenance operations described herein may ex-
clusively be performed by the TAC or skilled main-
tenance technician.
Any operation on internal components may exclu-
sively be performed by the TAC.
Before performing any operation, switch off the
appliance by means of the control device and wait
for the end of the shutdown cycle, then disconnect
power and gas supply, by acting on the electrical
disconnector and gas valve.
The efficiency checks and every other "check and
maintenance operation" must be performed with
a frequency according to current regulations or,
if more restrictive, according to the provisions set
forth by the manufacturer, installer or TAC.
Responsibility for efficiency checks, to be carried
out for the aims of restricting energy consumption,
lies with the system manager.
It is recommended that the following operations and
checks be carried out each year:
▶ Combustion circuit functionality and heat exchange
control:
� Burner and flue exhaust duct inspection
� Cleaning of burner and water/flue exchanger (if
applicable)
� Flame ignition/detection system control
▶ Hydraulic circuit and internal components functional-
ity check:
� Hydraulic circuit control (pipes, gaskets)
� Expansion tank
� Control and safety devices
� Water temperature probes
▶ Periodic analysis of combustion, in accordance with
regulations in force
HYDRAULIC BOILER EMPTYING
Whenever there is a need to empty the boiler, proceed as
follows:
▶ Switch off the boiler by pressing the
button.
▶ Only after the water pump has completed its post-cir-
culation cycle, cut off the power supply via the main
switch.
▶ Wait until the boiler has cooled down.
▶ Connect a hose emptying point and connect the other
end of the hose to a suitable drain.
▶ Open the drain tap (Figure 7.1 p. 42).

DIAGNOSTICS
In the event of a malfunction of the appliance, before con-
tacting the TAC, make sure that:
▶ There is a full electricity supply.
▶ The gas is supplied.
▶ The gas pressure is within the indicated limits.
▶ The DDC control (if any) is set so that the appliance is
switched on and the appliance does not display a fault.
8.1
SYSTEM PRESSURE RESTORE
In case of malfunction of the appliance, with pressure in-
side the hydraulic circuit lower than 0,3 bar, which can be
seen through the pressure gauge located on the instru-
ment panel inside the boiler, it is necessary, after having
identified and solved any leaks on the circuit, to proceed
with the restoring the correct amount of water (with gly-
col, if needed), as indicated in Paragraph 3.2 p. 18.
8.2
ERROR CODES
Most faults are generated directly by the MIAH410 boil-
er electronic board and are consequently shown on the
boiler display (and sent to the DDC control, if any), while
faults generated by the CAN-NDG board are sent to the
DDC only (if any).
The faults generated by the boiler board are exclusively
errors (and consequently on the DDC panel, if any, they
will always be displayed as E), either temporary (i.e. with
automatic reset) or permanent (i.e. with manual reset).
For faults requiring manual reset, this can be done by
pressing the reset button
on the boiler or, alternative-
ly, through the appropriate functions of the DDC control,
if any.
Specifically, codes 01, 02, 12 and 41 are reset by the DDC
control via the reset button of the flame controller.
Errors can be blocking (i.e. implying burner shutdown)
or non-blocking. Even with a non-blocking error, it is not
guaranteed that the burner can be switched on in the
event of a service request.
To display the last 5 fault codes, from the most recent
in chronological order, activate the OFF mode using the
key (Figure 6.1 p. 39) until the fixed
sym-
bol appears on the display, then press and hold the
key for 5 seconds.
▶ To scroll through the list of stored faults, use the
and
keys of the heating side
.
▶ To reset the fault history, press the reset key
.
▶ To exit the display press the
key.
The fault codes listed below are also shown on the DDC
control, if any, by adding the hundreds digit "1" to the
code. The code 01 will then be displayed as 101 on the
DDC control.
