Check functionality of safety devices
All safety devices have to be checked
on good functioning. Safety devices on
a standard boiler are a water flow tem-
perature sensor, water return tempera-
ture sensor, fluegas temperature sen-
sor and ionisation electrode. These
devices can be checked as described
below.
Flow temperature sensor (1)
Disconnect the plug from the sensor
while the boiler is switched on. This
should result in a lockout no. 20.
The lockout should disappear as soon
as the plug is placed back in position,
the boiler will restart.
Return temperature sensor (2)
Disconnect the plug from the sensor
while the boiler is switched on. This
should result in a lockout no. 40.
The lockout should disappear as soon
as the plug is placed back in position,
the boiler will restart.
Flue gas temperature sensor (3)
Disconnect the plug from the sensor
while the boiler is switched on. This
should result in a lockout no. 28.
The lockout should disappear as soon
as the plug is placed back in position,
the boiler will restart.
Ionisation electrode (4)
Remove electrical connection from the
ionisation electrode while the boiler is
running, the boiler will go in lockout no.
128. The boiler will try to restart. With
the electrical connection removed, the
restart will result in lockout no. 133.
When the connection is already
mounted, the restart will be successful.
Measuring the ionisation current can
be done by mounting a multi-meter (set
to µA) in between the ionisation elec-
trode and its electrical connection. The
ionisation current should always be
above 1.2 µA, in normal conditions it
will be 6 µA and above.
Gas tightness check
Check the gas tightness of all sealed
connections with an approved soap or
electronic gas analyzer, for example:

Test points;

Bolt connections;

Gaskets of mixing system, etc.
Boiler shut down
When the boiler will not be used for
longer periods, shut down the boiler by
following procedure:

Switch the boiler in standby operation
(K);

Switch off the boiler with the on/off
switch (5);

Disable power supply to the boiler by
deactivating the mains isolator switch
in the boiler room;

Close the gas supply to the boiler.
