isar + programmer - Installation and Servicing
GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
The isar + programmer range of boilers is a wall mounted, full sequence,
automatic spark ignition, low water content, fanned flue, high efficiency,
condensing, combination gas boiler.
A seven day programmer is built into the boiler, capable of 3 timed periods
per day.
Note.Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume of water vapour will form
at the terminal during operation.
Central heating (CH) output is fully modulating with a range of 8.8 to 23.4kW
(30,000 to 80,000 Btu/h)
Instantaneous domestic hot water (DHW) output is also fully modulating with
a maximum of :
HE24 23.4kW (80,000 Btu/h)
HE30 29.3kW (100,000 Btu/h)
HE35 35.2kW (120,000 Btu/h)
The boiler is supplied fully assembled with DHW plate heat exchanger,
diverter valve, circulating pump, pressure gauge, safety valve and CH
expansion vessel.
Variable CH and DHW temperature controls are fitted on the user control and
the boiler features a DHW preheat facility.
The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel with the user controls
capable of being mounted remotely from the boiler if the option is required.
The boiler temperature controls are visible at the bottom RHS of the front panel.
The heat exchanger is of cast aluminium.
The boiler is suitable for connection to fully pumped, sealed water systems
ONLY. Adequate arrangements for completely draining the system by
provision of drain cocks MUST be provided in the installation pipework.
Pipework from the boiler is routed downwards as standard, but may be
routed upwards behind the boiler using the stand-off frame (supplied in a
separate kit).
OPERATION
With no demand for CH, the boiler fires only when DHW is drawn off, or
periodically for a few seconds without any DHW draw-off, in order to maintain
the DHW calorifier in a heated condition.
When there is a demand for CH, the heating system is supplied at the
selected temperature of between 30 oC and 82oC, until DHW is drawn off.
The full output from the boiler is then directed via the diverter valve to the
plate heat exchanger to supply a nominal DHW draw-off of
HE24 9.6 l/min at 35 oC temperature rise.
HE30 12 l/min at 35 oC temperature rise.
HE35 14.4 l/min at 35 oC temperature rise.
The DHW draw off rate specified above is the nominal that the boiler flow
regulator will give. Due to system variations and seasonal temperature
fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperature rise will vary, requiring adjustment
at the draw off tap.
At low DHW draw-off rate the maximum temperature is limited to 65 oC by the
modulating gas control.
Refer also to Frame 1 - 'Boiler Water Circuit Diagrams'
An additional feature incorporated within the boiler controls is boiler frost
protection.
If the flow temperature drops below 7
oC the pump will run. If the temperature
continues to drop and goes below 4
oC, the boiler will fire until the
temperature exeeds 7
oC.
The boiler features a comprehensive diagnostic system which gives detailed
information on the boiler status when operating, and performance of key
components to aid commissioning and fault finding.
SAFE HANDLING
This boiler may require 2 or more operatives to move it to its installation site,
remove it from its packaging base and during movement into its installation
location. Manoeuvring the boiler may include the use of a sack truck and
involve lifting, pushing and pulling.
Caution should be exercised during these operations.

panels, which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos,
mercury or CFCs are included in any part of the boiler or its
manufacture.
LOCATION OF BOILER
The boiler must be installed on a flat and vertical wall, capable
of adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any
ancillary equipment.
The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall and insulation
between the wall and the boiler is not necessary, unless
required by the local authority.
For electrical safety reasons there must be no access available
from the back of the boiler.
The boiler must not be fitted outside.
Timber Framed Buildings
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should
be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineering
document IGE/UP/7:1998.
Bathroom Installations
This appliance is rated IP20.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space,
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the
current IEE (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland, the
electrical provisions of the building regulations applicable in
Scotland, with respect to the installation of the boiler in a room

isar + programmer - Installation and Servicing
GENERAL
z
For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template and
Frame 2. In addition, sufficient space may be required to
allow lifting access to the wall mounting plate.
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.
The boiler MUST be installed on a gas supply with a governed
meter only.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or
by a CORGI registered engineer. 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.
N.B.
The principle of the 1:1 gas valve ensures that the isar
HE range is able to deliver it’s full output at inlet pressures
down to 14mb. However if dynamic pressures below 20mb are
experienced ensure this is adequate for ALL other gas
appliances in the property.
IMPORTANT.
Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS.6891. In
IE refer to IS.813:2002. Pipework from the meter to the boiler
MUST be of an adequate size, i.e. no longer than 20m and not
less than 15mm O.D.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness
and purged as described in the above code.
FLUE INSTALLATION
Pluming will occur at the terminal so terminal positions where
this could cause a nuisance should be avoided.
The flue must be installed in accordance with the
recommendations of BS. 5440-1: 2000.
In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.
The following notes are intended for general guidance:
1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed
to external air.
2. It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free
passage of air across it at all times.
3. Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to
obstructions and ventilation openings are specified in
Table 4.
4. Where the lowest part of the terminal is fitted less than 2m
(6'6") above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to
which people have access then the terminal MUST be
protected by a purpose designed guard.
Terminal guards are available from boiler suppliers. (Ask for
TFC flue guard model no. K6 - round, plastic coated). In
case of difficulty contact:
Grasslin (UK) Ltd.
Tel. + 44 (0) 01732 359 888
Tower House, Vale Rise
Fax. + 44 (0) 01732 354 445
Tonbridge. Kent TN9 1TB
www.tfc-group.co.uk
Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally.
5. The flue assembly shall be so placed or shielded as to
prevent ignition or damage to any part of any building.
6. The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of the
boiler MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1") to combustible
material. Detailed recommendations on the protection of
combustible material are given in BS. 5440-1:2000.
IMPORTANT. It is absolutely essential to ensure, in practice,
that products of combustion discharging from the terminal
cannot re-enter the building or any other adjacent building
through ventilators, windows, doors, other sources of natural
air infiltration, or forced ventilation / air conditioning.
If this should occur the appliance MUST be turned OFF,
labelled as 'unsafe' until corrective action can be taken.
TERMINAL
The terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate
various wall thicknesses. Refer to Frame 12 .
AIR SUPPLY
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose-provided air vent in the
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither
is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which
the boiler is installed, due to the low surface temperatures of
the boiler casing during operation; therefore the requirements
of BS 6798, Clause 12, and BS 5440:2 may be disregarded.
WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
IMPORTANT.
A minimum length of 1 metre of copper pipe MUST be fitted to
both flow and return connections from the boiler before
connection to any plastic piping.
The central heating system should be in accordance with
BS.6798 and, in addition, for smallbore and microbore
systems, BS.5449.

Front clearance
The minimum front clearance when built in to a cupboard is 5mm
(1/4") from the cupboard door but 450mm (17 3/4") overall
clearance is still required, with the cupboard door open, to allow for
servicing.
N.B. The boiler will not fit into a standard depth wall unit. In order for
it to do so the plastic fascia should be removed. See Frame 39.
*
Bottom clearance
Bottom clearance after installation can be reduced to 5mm.
However, 100mm must be available for servicing.
Where the space into which the boiler is going to be
installed is less than the length of flue required the flue
must be fitted from the outside.
Installation from inside ONLY
b. If a core boring tool is to be used inside the building the
space in which the boiler is to be installed must be at least
wide enough to accommodate the tool.

isar + programmer - Installation and Servicing
GENERAL
General
1. The installation must comply with all relevant national and
local regulations.
2. The installation should be designed to work with flow
temperatures of up to 82
oC.
3. All components of the system must be suitable for a working
pressure of 3 bar and temperature of 110
oC. Extra care should
be taken in making all connections so that the risk of leakage
is minimised.
The following components are incorporated within the
appliance:
a.
Circulating pump.
b.
Safety valve, with a non-adjustable preset lift pressure of
3 bar.
c.
Pressure gauge, covering a range of 0 to 6 bar.
d.
An 8-litre expansion vessel, with an initial charge pressure
of 0.75 bar.
4. 'Make-up' Water. Provision must be made for replacing water
loss from the system, either :
a.
From a manually filled 'make-up' vessel with a readily
visible water level. The vessel should be mounted at
least 150mm above the highest point of the system and
be connected through a non-return valve to the system,
fitted at least 150mm below the 'make-up' vessel on the
return side of the radiators.
Notes
a. The method of filling, refilling, topping up or flushing
sealed primary hot water circuits from the mains via a
temporary hose connection is only allowed if acceptable
to the local water authority.
b. Antifreeze fluid, corrosion and scale inhibitor fluids
suitable for use with boilers having aluminium heat
exchangers may be used in the central heating system.
Advice should be sought from a local water treatment
company.
BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKS
Caradon Ideal Limited recommend that heating systems
utilising full thermostatic radiator valve control of temperature
in individual rooms should also be fitted with a room
thermostat controlling the temperature in a space served by
radiators not fitted with such a valve as stated in BS. 5449.
Central heating systems controls should be installed to
ensure the boiler is switched off when there is no demand
for heating or hot water.
When thermostatic radiator valves are used, the space
heating temperature control over a living / dining area or
hallway having a heating requirement of at least 10% of the
boiler heat output should be achieved using a room
thermostat, whilst other rooms are individually controlled by
thermostatic radiator valves. However, if the system employs
thermostatic radiator valves on all radiators, or two port
valves without end switches, then a bypass circuit must be
fitted with an automatic bypass valve to ensure a flow of
water should all valves be in the closed position.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
WARNING.
This appliance must be earthed.
Wiring external to the appliance MUST be in accordance with
the current I.E.E. (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and any local
regulations which apply. For IE reference should be made to
the current ETCI rules for electrical installations.
The point of connection to the mains should be readily
accessible and adjacent to the boiler.
CONDENSATE DRAIN Refer to Frames 22 & 49.
A condensate drain is provided on the boiler. This drain must be
connected to a drainage point on site. All pipework and fittings in
the condensate drainage system MUST be made of plastic - no
other materials may be used.
IMPORTANT.
Any external runs must be insulated
The drain outlet on the boiler is standard 21.5mm (3/4”) overflow
pipe.

However, if the system is to be pressurized, the
efficiency of the expansion vessel will be reduced and
a larger vessel (or smaller system volume) may be
necessary. If the capacity of the vessel is not
considered sufficient for this, or for any other reason,

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - CH (continued) and Hot Water
an additional vessel MUST be installed on the return
to the boiler.
Guidance on vessel sizing is given in Frame 3.
5. Filling. The system may be filled by the following method:
a.
Through a temporary hose connection from a 'draw-off'
tap, supplied from a service pipe under mains pressure.
Where the mains pressure is excessive a pressure
reducing valve must be used to facilitate filling.
When installing the filling device it must be connected as
shown below, to fully comply with the water regulations.
This may involve the fitting of an additional WRAS
approved isolator valve to the mains supply.
i. Thoroughly flush out the whole system with
cold water.
ii. Fill and vent the system until the pressure
gauge registers 1.5 bar and examine for leaks.
iii. Check the operation of the safety valve by
raising the water pressure until the valve lifts.
This should occur within 0.3 bar of the preset lift
pressure.
iv. Release water from the system until the
minimum system design pressure is reached;
1.0 bar if the system is to be pre-pressurised.

The boiler does not normally need a bypass but at least some
radiators on the heating circuit, of load of at least 10% of the
minimum boiler output, must be provided with twin lockshield
valves so that this minimum heating load is always available.
See note regarding thermostatic radiator valves on page 10.
Note. Systems incorporating zone valves which could
completely cut off the flow through the system must also
include a bypass.
BALANCING
1. Set the programmer to ON.
Close the manual or thermostatic valves on all radiators,
leaving the twin lockshield valves (on the radiators referred
to above) in the OPEN position.
5
SYSTEM BALANCING
Turn up the room thermostat and adjust these lockshield
valves to give boiler flow and return temperatures not
more than 20 oC apart.
These valves should now be left as set.
2. Open all manual or thermostatic radiator valves and
adjust the lockshield valves on the remaining radiators,
to give around 15 oC temperature drop at each radiator.
3. Adjust the room thermostat and programmer to
NORMAL settings.
5. Hard Water Areas
Where the water hardness exceeds 200mg/litre, it is
recommended that a proprietary scale reducing device is
fitted into the boiler cold supply within the requirements of
the local water company.
IMPORTANT
Provision MUST be made to accommodate the expansion of
DHW contained within the appliance, if a non-return valve is
fitted to the DHW inlet.

IMPORTANT.
Ensure that, during the cutting operation, masonry
falling outside of the building does not cause damage
or personal injury.
1. Cut the flue hole (preferably with a 5" core boring
tool), ensuring that the hole is square to the wall.
Both wall faces immediately around the cut hole
should be flat.
2. Drill 4 holes with a 7.5mm / 8mm masonry drill
and insert the plastic plugs, provided, for the
piping frame.
3. Locate 4 No.14 x 50mm screws in the piping
frame (one at each side, in any of the 3 holes
provided at each side) and screw home.

CONDENSATE DRAIN
Refer also to the British Gas document: 'Guidance Notes for
the Installation of Domestic Gas Condensing Boilers' (1989).
Before mounting the boiler on the wall, the condensate drain
(provided in the h/ware pack) must be connected from the
boiler ‘S’ trap to a drainage point, preferably within the
building.
Ensure that the condensate trap is full of water before
commissioning the boiler . Refer to Frame 26.
The routing of the drain must be made to allow a minimum
fall of 1 in 20 away from the boiler, throughout its length.
The drainage pipework must be arranged so that obstruction
(e.g. through freezing) of external drainage pipe does not give
rise to spillage within the dwelling.
IMPORTANT.
If excessive external pipework cannot be avoided an
additional siphon kit and insulation are recommended to
prevent possible freezing.
All pipework and fittings in the condensate drain system
must be made of plastic. No other materials may be used.
The drain outlet on the boiler is standard 21.5mm overflow
pipe. This size must not be reduced in any part of its length.

SERVICING SCHEDULE
To ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the
appliance it is recommended that it is checked at regular
intervals and serviced as necessary. The frequency of
servicing will depend upon the installation condition and
usage but should be carried out at least annually.
It is the law that any service work must be carried out by a
CORGI registered installer. In IE service work must be carried
out by a competent person.
1. Light the boiler and carry out a pre-service check, noting
any operational faults.
2. Check the gas consumption.
3. Connect a suitable gas analyser to the sampling point on
the top of the boiler (refer to Frame 45) or into the flue
terminal if access is possible (optional test).
For correct boiler operation, the CO/CO2 content of the flue
gas should not be greater than 0.004 ratio.
If this is the case, and the gas input is at least 90% of the
nominal, then no further action need be taken. If not,
proceed to Step 5 but see note above.
4. Clean the main burner.
5. Clean the heat exchanger & ‘S’ trap.
6. Check the condition of the combustion chamber insulation.
Any cracked or damaged pieces should be replaced.
7. Check the main injector for blockage or damage.
8. Wherever possible remove and clean the condensate ‘S’
trap (refer to Frame 49) and check the drain for blockage.
9. Check that the flue terminal is unobstructed and that the
flue system is sealed correctly.
10. Check the DHW filter for blockage. Refer to Frame 28.
The servicing procedures are covered more fully in Frames
44-51 and MUST be carried out in sequence.
Note.
In order to carry out either servicing or replacement of
components the boiler front panel and sealing panel
must be removed. Refer to Frames 44 and 45.
WARNING.
Always turn OFF the gas supply at the gas
service cock, and switch OFF and disconnect the electricity
supply to the appliance before servicing.
IMPORTANT.
11. After completing the servicing or exchange of components
always test for gas soundness and carry out functional

HANDING OVER
6. Explain and demonstrate the function of time and
temperature controls, radiator valves etc., for the economic
use of the system.
7. Draw attention to the Programmer Users Instructions and
hand them to the householder.
8. Loss of system water pressure
Explain that the dial underneath the boiler indicates the
central heating system pressure and that if the normal COLD
pressure of the system is seen to decrease over a period of
time then a water leak is indicated. Explain the re-
pressurising procedure and if unable to repressurise or if the
pressure continues to drop a registered local heating
installer should be consulted.
WARNING.
Do not fire the boiler if the pressure has reduced to zero from
the original setting.
9. After installation and commissioning please complete the
Commissioning Checklist before handover to
the customer.
For IE, its is necessary to complete a “Declaration of
Conformity” to indicate compliance to I.S. 813:2002.
10. IMPORTANT
A comprehensive service should be carried out ANNUALLY.
Stress the importance of regular servicing by a CORGI
registered installer. In IE servicing work must be carried out
by a competent person.
11. As the installer you may wish to undertake the service
contract yourself or alternatively offer to the customer the
benefits of the Ideal Care Scheme, details of which are
outlined in the householder pack supplied with this boiler.
1. Hand the User Instructions and Quick Reference Guide
to the householder and explain his/her responsibilities
under the relevant national regulations.
2. Explain and demonstrate the lighting and shutting
down procedures.
3. The operation of the boiler and the use and adjustment
of all system controls should be fully explained to the
householder, to ensure the greatest possible fuel
economy consistent with the household requirements
of both heating and hot water consumption.
Advise the User of the precautions necessary to prevent
damage to the system and to the building, in the event
of the system remaining inoperative during frosty
conditions.
4. Explain the function and the use of the boiler heating
and domestic hot water controls.
Explain that due to system variations and seasonal
temperature fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperature
rise will vary, requiring adjustment at the draw off tap. It
is therefore necessary to draw the users attention to the
section in the Users Instructions titled “Control of Water
Temperature” and the following statement:
“Additionally, the temperature can be controlled by
the user via the draw-off tap: the lower the rate the
higher the temperature, and vice versa”.
5. Explain the function of the boiler fault mode.
Emphasise that if a fault is indicated, the boiler should
be turned off and a CORGI registered local heating
installer consulted. In IE contact a competent person.
After completing the installation and commissioning of the system the
installer should hand over to the householder by the following actions:
