b As soon as you open the packaging, check imme-
diately that the contents are all present and unda-
maged. Contact the r reseller from whom you
purchased the product if you notice any problems.
br INSIEME CONDENS boilers must be installed by
a legally qualified heating engineer. On completion
of the installation, the installer must issue the owner
with a declaration of conformity confirming that the
installation has been completed to the highest stan-
dards in compliance with the instructions provided
by r in this instruction manual, and that it con-
forms to all applicable laws and standards.
b The boiler must only be used for the purpose speci-
fied by r and for which it is designed. The manu-
facturer declines all responsibility, contractual or
other, for damage to property or injury to persons or
animals caused by improper installation, adjustment,
maintenance or use.
b If you notice any water leaking from the boiler,
disconnect it immediately from the mains electricity
supply, shut off the water supply, and notify your
local r Technical Assistance Centre or a qualified
heating engineer immediately.
b Do not clean the boiler or any of its component
parts with easily flammable substances (e.g. petrol,
alcohol, etc.).
The operation of any appliance that uses fuel, electrical power and water demands that a number of fundamental safety
precautions be respected.
a Do not allow children or infirm persons to operate the
boiler unsupervised.
a Do not operate any electrical devices or equipment,
including switches or domestic appliances, etc., if
you can smell fuel or fumes. If you detect any suspi-
cious smells:
- Ventilate the room by opening all doors and win-
dows.
- Close the fuel shut-off cock.
- Report the fault immediately to your local r
Technical Assistance Service or a professionally
qualified heating engineer.
a Do not touch the boiler when barefoot or wet.
aNever clean or service the boiler without first discon-
necting it from the mains electricity supply by turning
the main power switch and the control panel switch
OFF.
a Do not tamper with or adjust the safety or control
devices without prior authorisation and instructions
from the boiler’s manufacturer.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
b Periodically check that operating pressure in the water
circuit is over 1 bar. If water pressure is consistently low,
contact r’s Technical Assistance Service or a profes-
sionally qualified heating engineer.
b If the boiler is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, proceed as follows to prepare it for
shutdown:
- Switch the appliance OFF at the control panel.
- Turn the mains power switch OFF.
- Close the boiler’s fuel cock and heating circuit water
cock.
- Drain the central heating circuit if there is any risk of
freezing.
b Low temperature (under-floor) heating systems must
be fed through a circuit fitted with a mixer valve.
b The boiler must be serviced at least once a year.
b This instruction manual is an integral part of the boi-
ler. It must be kept safe and must ALWAYS accom-
pany the boiler, even if it is sold to another owner or
transferred to another user or to another installation.
If you damage or lose this manual, order a replace-
ment immediately from your local r Technical
Assistance Centre.
PRECAUTIONS
a Never pull, disconnect, or twist the electrical cables
coming from the boiler even if it is disconnected from
the mains electricity supply at the time.
a Do no obstruct or restrict the vents in the room where
the boiler is installed. Adequate ventilation is essen-
tial for correct combustion.
a Do not expose the boiler to the elements. It is not
designed for use outdoors.
a Do not switch the boiler off if outside temperature
drops below ZERO (risk of freezing).
a Do not store containers of flammable substances in
the room where the boiler is installed.
a Do not dispose of packaging material into the envi-
ronment, or leave it within the reach of children,
since it can become a potential hazard. Dispose of
packaging material in compliance with applicable
legislation.

 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
INSIEME CONDENS boilers are high efficiency, oil fuelled
condensing boilers. “B” models are designed for heating
only. “BK” models come with a 120 litre vitrified storage
cylinder and are designed for combined heating and do-
mestic hot water production.
These boilers may be used as type “C” boilers if fitted
with a specific accessory kit to extend the comburent air
inlet to draw in air from outside the room where they are
installed.
The single stage jet burner is fitted with a fuel oil pre-heat-
er to ensure dependable functioning under all conditions.
The most important technical features of these boilers are:
- The combustion chamber and heat exchange system
are specially designed and shaped to achieve the best
possible volume to surface area ratio.
- The primary heat exchanger features vitrified steel
pipes and wave turbulators to recover and transfer a
large proportion of the thermal energy carried by the
combustion fumes.
SAFETY DEVICES
INSIEME CONDENS boilers are equipped with the following safety devices:
- A safety thermostat that forces the boiler to perform
a safety shutdown if temperature exceeds the safety
threshold (110°C).
- A flue gas thermostat in the bottom of the secondary
heat exchanger that signals an error if flue gas temper-
ature exceeds 90°C.
- A burner safety system: The oil burner is equipped
with an electronic controller that monitors the correct
functioning of the selected program. In the event of an
error, this controller displays a burner lockout signal on
the control panel.
6 GENERAL
- The secondary heat exchanger is made from AISI 904L
stainless steel and recovers latent heat from the flue
gases, boosting efficiency to up to 101.4 % (50°C –
30°C range).
- The horizontal vitrified storage cylinder incorporates a
vertical primary heat exchanger coil.
The exclusively designed heat exchange unit and sec-
ondary exchanger are insulated by ultra-efficient high
density glass wool. The controls and safety devices of the
electromechanical control panel conform to all applicable
technical and safety standards.
A specific accessory kit is available to control a high tem-
perature central heating circuit. Additional controllers can
also be added to manage additional direct/mixed circuits
or to integrate the boiler with r solar water heating
systems.
b The intervention of a safety device indicates a
potentially dangerous malfunction in the system,
and means that you must contact r’s Technical
Assistance Service immediately.
You may attempt to restart the boiler after a short delay
(see preparing for initial start-up).
a Never start the boiler up even for a short period if
the safety devices are not functioning correctly or
have been tampered with.
b Safety devices must only be replaced by r’s
Technical Assistance Service using original spare
parts. Refer to the spare parts catalogue supplied
with the boiler.
Always check that the boiler is functioning correctly after
any repairs.

 PLACE OF INSTALLATION

r INSIEME CONDENS boilers must be installed in rooms with suitably dimensioned ventilation grilles in conformity to
applicable technical standards.

b When installing the boiler, allow sufficient space a These boilers must be installed indoors. They are not

to permit easy maintenance.

b Make sure that the boiler’s index of electrical protec-

tion is adequate for the characteristics of the room
where it is to be installed.

INSTALLATION IN OLDER SYSTEMS AND SYSTEMS REQUIRING MODERNISATION

When installing these boilers in old systems or systems requiring modernisation, always perform the following checks:
- Make sure that the flue is able to withstand the tem-
perature of the combustion gases and that it has been
designed and made in compliance with applicable
standards. The flue must also be as straight as possi-
ble, sealed, insulated and not blocked or choked.
- Make sure that the flue is fitted with a condensation
drainage union.
- Make sure that the electrical system has been installed
by a qualified electrician in compliance with applicable
standards.
- Make sure that flow rate, head and direction of flow of
the pumps are suitable and correct.
- Make sure that the fuel feed line and any storage tank
are made and installed in compliance with applicable
standards.
- Make sure that expansion vessels are big enough to
contain the additional volume generated by thermal ex-
pansion.
- Make sure that the central heating circuit has been
flushed out to remove all sludge and lime scale, and
that it has been bled and seal tested.
- Make sure that a suitable water treatment system is in-
stalled. (See the “Water in central heating systems” sec-
tion.) Refer to the r catalogue for details of specific
products.
b The manufacturer declines all responsibility for da-
mage caused by incorrectly constructed flue sy-
stems.
b Flue pipes for condensing boilers must be made
from special materials, different from those used for
standard non-condensing boiler flues.

and to guarantee an extended working life for boilers and
all other system components.
This applies not only to existing systems but to newly
installed systems too.
Sludge, limescale and other contaminants in water can

 WATER IN CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS

1. Chemical and physical characteristics of water

The chemical and physical characteristics of water used in central heating systems must conform to the requirements of
EN 14868 standard and to the following tables:

STEEL BOILERS STEEL BOILERS

with furnace power < 150 kW with furnace power > 150 kW

Iron mg/l < 0,5 Iron mg/l < 0,5
(*) values for water in system after 8 weeks of functioning

General note on water used to top up systems:

- If softened water is used to top up a system, 8 weeks of functioning after topping up, verify that the water in the system
respects the above limits, in particular for electrical conductivity.
- This check is not necessary if demineralised water is used to top up the system.

2. Central heating systems

b Do not use automatic filling devices to add water to central heating systems. Use a manual device instead and
record top-ups in the system service book.

b If a system comprises a number of boilers, when that system is first put into service, make sure that all the boilers
function simultaneously or on a short interval rotation basis in order to evenly distribute initial limescale deposits.

b When you finish installing a system, always flush it out to remove installation residues.
b Water used to fill a system for the first time and water used to top it up must always be filtered (using synthetic or
metal mesh filters with a filtration rating of no less than 50 microns) to prevent sludge from forming and triggering
deposit corrosion.

b Before re-filling an existing system, clean and flush it out thoroughly. Only fill the boiler after the central heating
circuit has been thoroughly flushed out.

2.1 New central heating systems

Initial filling of the system must be performed slowly. In theory, once filled and bled of all air, a heating circuit should not
need topping up.
Systems should also be operated at maximum working temperature the first time they are started up, in order to facilitate
de-aeration. (Gas is not released from the water at low temperatures.)

22 INSTALLER
2.2 Reconditioning old central heating systems
If a boiler has to be replaced, do not refill the entire central heating circuit if the quality of water in it conforms to requi-
rements. If the quality of water fails to conform to requirements, either recondition the old water or separate the water
circuits (water in the boiler circuit must conform to requirements).

3. Corrosion

3.1 Deposit corrosion

Deposit corrosion is an electro-chemical phenomenon caused by the presence of foreign bodies (sand, rust, etc.) in the
water mass. These solid substances generally form deposits (sludge) in the bottom of the boiler, in the tube heads and
in the joins of tube bundles.
These parts of the boiler can therefore be affected by micro-corrosion caused by the electrochemical potential difference
created between the metal parts in contact with impurities and other metal parts around them.

3.2 Stray current corrosion

Stray current corrosion is caused by the different electrical potentials of the water in the boiler and the metal body of the
boiler or piping. Stray current corrosion is easily identified by the regular tiny conical holes it leaves.

b All metallic parts should be grounded by an efficient earth cable for this reason.

4. Eliminating air and gas from central heating systems

If oxygen enters a circuit continuously or even intermittently (e.g. in under-floor heating systems whose pipes are not
protected by impermeable synthetic sheaths, in circuits with open expansion vessels, or in circuits that require frequent
top-ups) always separate the boiler’s water circuit from the central heating circuit.

Mistakes to avoid and precautions

From what has been said above we can see that it is essential to avoid two main factors that could lead to corrosion.
These are contact between system water and air and the continuous addition of fresh water to the circuit.
To eliminate contact between system water and the air (thus avoiding oxygenation of the system water), we need to:
- ensure that the expansion vessel is a closed vessel, and of the correct size and pre-charge pressure (the pressure to
be checked periodically);
- ensure that the system is always kept at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure at all points (including the pump
suction side) and under all operating conditions (precisely because the seals, gaskets and joins in a water circuit are
designed to resist pressure from within, but not to resist a vacuum within);
- ensure that no part of the system is made from materials that are permeable to gases (e.g. plastic pipes with no oxygen
barrier destined for under-floor heating systems).

b Finally, never forget that boiler failures caused by encrustation and corrosion are not covered under the
terms of the warranty.

- Check that the water supply and fuel shut-off cocks are
open.
- Check that the water pressure gauge shows a pressure
over 1 bar with the system cold. Check also that the
water circuit is properly de-aerated.
- Check that the expansion vessel (fitted on installation)
is properly pre-charged.
