Introductory information For your safety Please follow these safety instructions closely to avoid the risk of injury to persons and damage to property. If you smell gas Don’t smoke! Don’t use naked flames or cause sparks (e.g. by switching lights or electrical appliances on and off) Open windows and doors Close the gas shut-off valve Inform your heating engineers/service contractors from outside the building Observe the safety regulations of your gas supply company (see gas meter) and those of your heating engineers (see start-up or instruction report). In emergencies Immediately switch off the power supply, e.g. at the separate fuse or power supply disconnect switch (unless there is a smell of gas). Close the shut-off valves in the oil pipes or close the gas shut-off valve, whichever applicable. Use suitable extinguishers in the event of fire. Work on the equipment Installation, initial start-up, maintenance and repairs must be carried out by a competent person (heating engineer/service contractor). Before work is undertaken on the equipment/heating system, switch off the power supply voltage (e.g. at the separate fuse or power supply electrical isolator switch) and take steps to prevent it from being switched on again. Gas-fired systems: Also close the gas shut-off valve and make secure to prevent unauthorized use. Installation of additional components The installation of additional components which have not been tested together with the boiler can adversely affect the function and performance of the boiler. Our warranty does not cover and we accept no liability for damage attributable to the installation of such components. Boiler room conditions Do not use a room in which the air is polluted by halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. as contained in aerosols, paints, solvents and cleaning agents) Do not use a room subject to high levels of dust Do not use a room subject to permanently high humidity The room should be frost-protected Max. ambient temperature 35 °C / 95 °F. Provide good ventilation and do not close or obstruct vents (if installed). This symbol indicates a reference to other instructions which must be observed. This header denotes Multispecial instructions which boiler system apply to the use of the Vitotronic 100 in a multi-boiler system. Notes on applicability The Vitotronic 100, GC1, can be used in single-boiler systems, multi-boiler systems in conjunction with Vitocontrol-S, VD2/CT3/CM2 or multi-boiler systems with an external master control. Multi-boiler system with external master control MultiPlease observe the instructions marked by this header in this boiler system document as well the instructions for the external master control. 5351 339 v1.1 Multi-boiler system in conjunction with Vitocontrol-S, VD2/CT3/CM2 For this system type you need only consult the operating instructions for the Vitocontrol-S, VD2/CT3/CM2.

In a multi-boiler system, only the Vitotronic 100 and the Multicorresponding boiler are started up when the following steps are boiler system carried out. 1. Check the pressure of the heating system on the manometer. If the needle is below the red marker, the system pressure is too low – in which case add more water or contact your heating contractor. 2. Open the shut-off valves in the oil pipes (at the boiler) or open the gas shut-off valve, whichever applicable. 3. Switch on the power supply voltage, e.g. at the separate fuse or a power supply disconnect switch. The boiler is now ready for operation. 5351 339 v1.1 4. Switch on the heating system on/off switch ”8”; the operating status is indicated by the green lamp and, after a short time, the boiler temperature appears in the display window. 7 Switching on and off Shutting down the heating system In a multi-boiler system, only the corresponding boiler can be Multiswitched off with the Vitotronic 100. If the complete boiler system boiler system is to be switched off, it is necessary to switch off the master control and the power supply power supply to the heating system as well. If you do not want to use the boiler temporarily, select standby operation (see page 6). If you do not want to use the boiler for a long period (several months), you should shut it down. We advise you to contact your heating contractor before shutting down the boiler for long periods. Your heating contractor will take any necessary action, e.g. for freeze-up protection of the system or to safeguard the heat exchange surfaces. 1. Switch off the heating system on/off switch ”8”. The green lamp goes out. The power supply to the boiler is now switched off. There is no freeze-up protection of the boiler and DHW tank. Please note: The settings of the control unit remain intact. 5351 339 v1.1 2. Close the shut-off valves in the oil pipes (at the boiler) or close the gas shut-off valve, whichever applicable. 8 Settings Changing the boiler water temperature In a multi-boiler system, the tr button (for setting the boiler water Multitemperature) is without function. boiler system If the button is nevertheless pressed, the boiler water temperature continues to be displayed in the display window. 1. tr 60 __...60 °C Press tr; the previous boiler water temperature setting flashes in the display window. r 2.

Boiler All boilers have to be cleaned at certain intervals as the flue gas temperature and therefore the energy loss rise as the level of contamination increases. Cleaning The equipment can be cleaned with domestic cleaning agents available on the market (do not use abrasive cleaning agents). Regular servicing of the heating system will ensure troublefree, energy-saving and environmentally friendly heating. We strongly advise you to arrange a service contract with your heating contractor. We recommend the use of a flue gas sensor. The efficiency of the system will be impaired if the flue gas temperature is excessively high due to contam ination of the boiler or incorrect adjustment of the burner. In this case it may be necessary to clean the boiler or readjust the burner. Note on disposal of unwanted equipment The unit contains an inbuilt, non-toxic battery. To safeguard the environment, please dispose of spent batteries properly via the appropriate collection points. The battery should be removed by a competent person. A built-in hours run meter measures the operating times of the burner. The longer the operating times, the lower the standby losses. 5351 339 v1.1 Operational checks The following operational checks should be carried out every month: Regularly check the pressure of the system. Check correct operation of safety valve. Check correct operation of control equipment. Check all seals and re-seal if necessary. Check the ventilation facilities of the boiler room (see safety note on page 2). Check function of neutralizing unit. Check level of neutralizing agent. 17 Alphabetical index Alphabetical index A Acknowledging fault messages, 12 G Gas shut-off valve, 2, 7 B Boiler room, 2 Boiler water temperature, 9 H Heating system on/off switch, 5, 7 C Central heating and domestic hot water, 6 Changing the boiler water temperature, 9 Changing the domestic hot water temperature, 10 I Index, 3 Indicators, 5 Initial start-up, 7 L Lamps (LEDs), 5, 7 Cleaning, 17 Controls, 4, 5 D DHW pump, 5 Diagnosis, 12 Display window, 5 Domestic hot water, 6 Domestic hot water supply, 6, 10, 14 E Emergencies, 2 External control, 2 N Note on applicability, 2 Notes on safety, 2 T Temperature settings, 9 Troubleshooting, 12 W Waste disposal, 17 Winter operation, 6 Work on the equipment, 2 O Operating status indicator, 5, 7 R Re-starting the system, 7 Retrieving fault messages, 12 5351 339 v1.1 F Factory setting, 5 Fault display, 5 Fault messages, 12 Faults, 12 Flue gas temperature, 17 Freeze-up protection, 6, 8 Fumes, 2 M Main controls, 4 Multi-boiler system, 2 S Safety instructions, 2 Scanning the domestic hot water temperature, 11 Selecting the heating program, 6 Service contract, 17 Servicing, 17 Shutting down the control unit, 8 Shutting down the boiler, 8 Shutting down the system, 8 Single-boiler system, 2 Smell of gas, 2 Standby operation, 6, 8 Starting up the boiler, 7 Starting up the system, 7 Summer operation, 6 Switching off the system, 8 Switching off the unit, 8 Switching on the system, 7 Switching on the unit, 7 18 5351 339 v1.1 19 Printed on environmentally friendly (recycled and recyclable) paper.
