The Building Regulations must be adhered to for the installation of the boiler Building Regulations Part F - Ventilation Part J Heat Producing Appliances Part L Conservation of Fuel and Energy General guidelines:
The boiler should be installed by an authorised fitter. The initial startup of the boiler must be done by a trained Kedco person. The chimney draught should be at least 5 PA(Pascals) and should be stable; a draught stabilizer should always be installed. If combustion gases condense in the chimney (wet ash) install a draught stabilizer in the chimney, or open the flue (the flap inside at the back of the boiler) as wide as possible to increase the temperature of the smoke. The boiler must be spanned with a mixing valve to ensure the return flow always has an element of hot water . A Sufficient flow of air must be available in the boiler room.

Flue
The purpose of a chimney (stack) is to generate a draught (draft) that will transport smoke and fumes away from the point of combustion. The chimney design and arrangement of parts are of great importance in achieving an efficient heating system. The draught in the chimney is determined by outside air temperature, boiler (or furnace) capacity, exhaust gas temperature, chimney height and outside wind conditions. As conditions change with the seasons, the draught can easily vary from 0 to 100 Pa. Solid fuel boilers are most efficient when the negative pressure in the chimney ranges from 0 to 20 Pa. Irrespective of whether burning oil, wood or pellets, a stable draught is of great importance. A large number of domestic boilers that are sold today are replacements for older heating installations. They are often connected to old chimneys and/or chimneys with insufficient insulation. These older chimneys often have an open area that is too large for todays modern and efficient boilers. When changing from oil heating to wood or pellets, the problem is often the opposite since smoke gas volumes increase when burning solid fuels, demanding a larger area. Condensation will form if the exhaust gas temperatures are too low before they leave the chimney. The condensation that runs along the inside walls of the chimney consists mainly of water, but also contains corrosive acids. The draught regulator is very important for boiler reliability and fuel efficiency. Irrespective of whether the boiler is fired with oil, gas, pellets or wood, a stable draught in the chimney is important for combustion conditions in the burner chamber. Draught variations in the chimney influence velocity of the exhaust through the boiler, which effects heat exchange. When burning solid fuels with too high of a draught, the time for carburetion and contact with the heat exchanger are too short, which leads to low thermal efficiency, poor combustion and eventually problems in operation. Weather and wind conditions vary drastically over the period of a year, which changes the conditions in the chimney. On cold days with high wind conditions, the draught increases and on calm, warm days there may be no draught at all. This leads to different draught conditions inside the fire chamber as the burner fan will give different amounts of air depending on the conditions.

M ixing Valve
The valve is used to make sure the return temperature to the boiler is high enough to prevent condensation of flue gases in the boiler. This in turn prolongs the life of the boiler and gives better efficiency. The heating network water is allowed circulate back to the boiler see diagram installation below . Thus a minimum temperature of the water returning to the boiler is maintained.

SECTION 2 Boiler Installation

Installing the the Kedco boiler: 1. Install the combustion chamber on the side of the boiler (there should be no shield on the combustion chamber). 2. Fit the controls either into a cabinet or on the wall. 3. Install the overheating safety fuse(High Temperature Stat) into the pocket on the side of the boiler and connect the controls so that the overheating safety fuse will cut the power if the boiler overheats. 4. Attach the heat sensor on the out flow pipe by attaching the sensor on the flow. (The sensor must be well insulated from the room temperature). 5. Fit the pipe on the drop shaft (this must be the pipe that comes with the Kedco boiler). 6. Fit the hopper and auger so that the pipe slopes. (PELLETS MUST NOT GET STUCK IN THE PIPE.)

BOILER INSTALLATION GUIDE

Installing into boiler: 1. Check that the combustion chamber is undamaged. 2. Fit the combustion chamber and tighten it firmly using the two wing nuts supplied. 3. Ensure that the combustion chamber is in a horizontal position and all connections are tight. 4. Fit the cover and the plug. 5. Wire up the overheating safety fuse following the electrical wiring diagram. 6. Where possible use the Volt free contact to switch the boiler on and off. This allows proper cleaning of the burner head to take place when the burner is switched off. See 0 Volt contact on Page 21 Auger: 6. Install the auger through the opening over the combustion chamber. 7. Ensure that the pipe slopes enough to allow the pellets to fall into the combustion chamber. When using for the first time: 8.Make sure there are enough pellets by the entrance to the outer auger. 9.Force-start the auger by holding down the UP button and switching the power to the unit on at the same time. 10. If the pellets fall into the combustion chamber, turn off again by pressing DOWN. Then restart the burner using electrical ignition by pressing the down arrow. 11. Ensure there is water pressure in the boiler before attempting to start it (this is the gauge on the front panel of the boiler)and that the circulation pump is running.

FULL OXYGEN The amount of excess oxygen in the smoke at full performance. Sets the amount of fuel so that the excess oxygen is at the required amount. If the pellet burner smokes at full performance, set a higher percentage of oxygen. If the flame is angry and sputtering, set a lower percentage of oxygen. NO/SHOW/YES Turns oxygen regulation on/off. Oxygen regulation set to ON the burner sets the amount of pellets to suit the required percentage of oxygen. Oxygen regulation set to SHOW you can read the percentage but the boiler does not set the required percentage of oxygen. The tighter the boiler, the more you get from oxygen regulation. It is recommended to fit the chimney with a draught stabilizer; this will reduce the draught and cut the amount of air flowing back into the boiler.

SECTION 5 Extended set-up guide
SETTING THE CONTROLS
The controls work in 100-degree modulation and change these degrees automatically. If you use an automatic calculation program after measuring the performance of the auger, no further setting should be necessary. Setting pellets at low and full load During normal everyday use it is recommended to occasionally check the combustion and assess the flames. Whenever the heating pellets are changed (size or length of pellets, etc. ), the dosing rate of the auger will also change, which will affect combustion. (However, if the pellet burner is equipped with oxygen regulation, the boiler will regulate this automatically.) If there is a big flame on low load (10-30% performance) (Dark, or black tips) or the ash is black with black pellets. In this case fewer pellets are required at low load. (Reduce the chimney draught or reduce the low feed) If there is a big flame on full load (70-100% performance) (Dark, or black tips) or the ash is black with black pellets. In this case fewer pellets are required at full load. (Increase the performance of the auger or reduce the full feed.) If there is a weak flame on low load (10-30% performance) (Small flame and sputtering stars) or the ash is light grey. In this case more pellets are required. (Increase the chimney draught or set the low feed higher). If there is a weak flame on full load (70-100%) (Small flame and sputtering stars) or the ash is light grey. In this case more pellets are required. (Reduce the performance of the auger or set the full feed higher.) The pellet burner must not smoke, but must be sealed tight. (Take care that smoke does not mingle with condensed steam.) Correct combustion normally results in dark grey ash, although this can vary slightly depending on the type of pellets used. White and light ash in the boiler means excess air. Having the boiler set up correctly has a great effect on the economy of burning wooden pellets Fuel type The boiler is set up for wooden pellets 6-8mm, which do not burn to cinders!!

SECTION 6 Cleaning Instructions
When cleaning, turn off the burner Turn off the controls (hold the on/off button down for 10 seconds) and let the burner cool down for about 5 minutes; when it is completely switched off the burner is ready to be cleaned. Unplug the burner, remove the cover and the drop shaft and unscrew the burner from the boiler before continuing. The burner should be cleaned regularly and whenever necessary. This will ensure that the burner runs as economically as possible. The more suitable the boiler you have and the better the pellets you use, the longer the intervals between each cleaning session. The boiler Clean the ash out of the boiler and brush off all the surfaces to remove any deposits. Be very careful of the ash in the backflow valve and the chimney pipe. The chimney-sweep DOES NOT CLEAN the chimney pipe, you must do this yourself An old vacuum cleaner or ash bucket are especially suitable, as the ash does not normally contain carbon particles or tar. Combustion heads Remove the ash and any cinders from the grate. Remove any remnants of pellets from underneath the grate. Wipe the flame indicator. Ensure there is nothing in the Fan.

! VERY IMPORTANT!!! THE COMBUSTION HEAD WILL BE DAMAGED IF THE GRATE IS NOT POSITIONED CORRECTLY!!!

Pellet hopper As the pellets you put in the hopper contain dust, the hopper should be completely emptied from time to time. The more dust there is in the hopper, the less the auger doses, which can interfere with the settings cause the burner to cut out. The frequency with which you empty the pellet hopper depends entirely on the shape of the hopper and the quality of the fuel you use. Restarting after cleaning Reassemble the pellet burner and ignite it (hold the on/off button down for 10 seconds), at which point the burner will start automatically. DO NOT FORGET to replace the cover, to ensure that the temperature of the combustion chamber is measured correctly.

Installation of oxygen equipment
Install the exhaust gas oxygen sensor into the boiler (Diag.on right) and ensure it will be in good contact with the flue gases, e.g. into the smoke outtake or the front doors. It is important that the installation is airtight. Attention it must be possible to remove it. Then disconnect the power and remove the doors. Fit the exhaust gas oxygen sensor cable to the four terminals (marked with a wheel, electrical diagram p20). The colour is on the printed circuit board. Diag.1 (Controls, exhaust gas oxygen sensor). Install the enclosed chip (marked as a blue square, p20). The little dot at the top of the chip must point in the same direction as the markings on the printed circuit board holder. (facing away from the screw terminals). THE CHIP MUST NOT BE TURNED THE WRONG WAY THIS WILL DAMAGE IT!!! Fit The doors back on. Connect the power to the controls and wait about 15 minutes for the exhaust gas oxygen sensor to warm up. You can now calibrate it. Find the oxygen regulation in the menu and select SHOW. Switch to the extended menu and calibrate the oxygen and the sensor. Note: the exhaust gas oxygen sensor must be held in the air. The burner will continue without having regulated the oxygen, but the percentage of oxygen will appear on the display. Fit the exhaust gas oxygen sensor back into the boiler and spend a little time detecting the percentage of oxygen at LOW LOAD and FULL LOAD, which is when your burner fires at its best. There should be a powerful flame at FULL LOAD (100%) and a slightly weaker one at LOW LOAD (10%). Note that the tighter the boiler is and the smoother the chimney draught, the more accurate the oxygen percentage measurements will be. It is always recommended to install a draught stabilizer into the chimney together with oxygen regulation. When you have found the optimum percentage of oxygen, go into the menu below oxygen regulation and select YES, then enter the percentage of oxygen detected into LOW OXYGEN and FULL OXYGEN. The controls will then automatically set the auger times into LOW FEED and FULL FEED. If you want more powerful combustion, set a lower percentage of oxygen. If you want weaker combustion, set a higher percentage of oxygen.
