1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Introduction

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing the OPTIMAX HE PLUS 18 S, a FERROLI wall-mounted boiler of the latest

generation, featuring advanced design and cutting-edge technology.

OPTIMAX HE PLUS 18 S is a high-efficiency condensing pre-mix appliance for heating with extremely

low emissions, running on natural gas or LPG.

The boiler consists of an aluminium laminar heat exchanger providing effective condensation of the

water vapour contained in the flue gases, permitting extremely high efficiency.

Above the heat exchanger, in the boiler, there is a pre-mix burner, with a large ceramic surface, equip-

ped with electronic ignition and ionization flame control, which achieves extremely low emissions while

ensuring high reliability and long life operation.

The boiler is totally room sealed from the installation room: the air needed for combustion is drawn

from outside. The boiler also includes a modulating speed fan, modulating gas valve, pump, expansion

vessel, safety valve, temperature sensors, a safety thermostat and a low water pressure sensor.

Thanks to the microprocessor control and adjustment system with advanced self-diagnosis, unit ope-

ration is for the most part automatic. The power for heating is automatically governed by the control

system.

The user only has to set the temperature desired inside the home by means of a room thermostat and

appliance temperature control. The adjustment and control system will provide optimum operation

throughout the year.

The display continuously provides information on the unit’s operating status and it is easily possible

to obtain additional information on the sensor temperatures, set-points, etc. or configure them. Any

operating problems associated with the boiler or system is immediately signalled by the display and, if

possible, corrected automatically.

Demand mode

The Boiler heat demand (generated by the Programmer, room thermostat and cylinder thermostat) is

indicated by the flashing of the Hot Air symbol over the radiator (part. 13 and 14 – fig. 1). The display

(part. 11 – fig. 1) indicates the actual System water temperature and, during the delay time, the text

“d2”.

1.3 Turning ON and OFF

Without main power supply

To avoid damage caused by freezing during long shutdowns in winter, it is advisable to drain all

water from the system.

Ignition

Ensure the power is on to the appliance.

For the first 120 seconds, the display shows FH that identifies the Air purge function.

During the first 5 seconds, the display shows the software version of the pcb.

Open the gas cock on the boiler and purge the air from the pipework upstream of the gas valve.

When the FH disappears, the boiler is ready to function automatically whenever the external controls

are calling for heat.

Turning off

Press the (part. 7 - fig. 1) for 5 seconds.

When the boiler is turned off with this key, the p.c.b is still powered, heating operation is disabled and

the display is off however the frost protection will still be active.

To totally isolate close the gas cock ahead of the boiler and disconnect electrical power.

To avoid damage caused by freezing during long shutdowns in winter, it is advisable to drain all

water from the system.

To turn the boiler on again, press (part.7 - fig.1) for 5 seconds.

The boiler is ready to function automatically whenever the external controls are calling for heat.

1.4 Adjustments

Heating temperature setting

To set the system flow temperature, use the CH push buttons (Part. 3 and 4 – fig. 1). It can be

varied from a minimum of 20°C to a maximum of 90°C.

Room temperature adjustment (using a room thermostat )

Using the room thermostat, set the temperature desired in the rooms. Controlled by the room ther-

mostat, the boiler lights and heats the system water to the system delivery setpoint temperature. The

burner shuts down when the desired temperature in the room is reached.

A room thermostat and programmer are a mandatory requirement (Building regulations Doc ‘L’

2002).

1.6 Faults

In the unlikely event of an operating problem, or component failure, the display flashes and a fault

identification code appears.

Cod. 3540L826 - 04/2009 (Rev. 00)

1.5 Maintenance

It is strongly recommended to carry out annual maintenance of the boiler and heating system. Please

refer to the “maintenance” section in this manual.

The casing, the control panel and the aesthetic parts of the boiler can be cleaned using a soft and damp

cloth, do not use abrasives or solvents.

The boiler is equipped with an advanced self-diagnosis system that signals any faults on the display.

Some faults (“A“ indication) cause a boiler shutdown. In this case, operation must be reset manually by

pressing the

reset

(Part. 6 – fig. 1) for 1 second.

Other faults (“F“ indication) cause temporary shutdowns that are automatically reset as soon as the

value causing the fault comes back within the boiler’s normal working range.

Listed below are some anomalies that can be caused by simple, user-solvable problems.

If the problem remains after two attempts at resetting, contact the Ferroli Service Centre.

For other faults, refer to section 3.4 “Troubleshooting”.

Fault Cure

No burner ignition

Make sure that the gas cocks ahead of the boiler

and on the meter are open.

Press the RESET button (for 1 second).

In case of repeatedshutdowns, contact the Ferroli

Service Department.

Low system pressure Fill the ‘system to 1-1.5 bar.

Before calling a Ferroli service engineer, check that the problem is not due to there being no

gas or electricity, or low system pressure.

BOILER INSTALLATION MUST ONLY BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, IN ACCORDANCE

WITH ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THIS TECHNICAL MANUAL, THE PROVISIONS OF CURRENT

LAW, THE RECOMENDATION OF BS STANDARDS, ANY LOCAL REGULATIONS AND THE RULES OF

COMPETENT WORKMANSHIP.

Incorrect installation can cause damage or physical injury for which the manufacturer declines any re-

sponsibility.

This appliance must be installed strictly in accordance with these instructions and

regulations:

2.2 Boiler location

The unit’s combustion chamber is sealed off

from the installation room and therefore requi-

res no compartment ventilation.

The installation room must be sufficiently well

ventilated to prevent any dangerous condi-

tions from forming in the event of even slight

gas leakage. This safety standard is required

by the EEC Directive no. 90/396 for all gas

units, including those with a so-called sealed

chamber.

Therefore the place of installation must be

free of dust, flammable materials or objects

or corrosive gases. The room must be dry and

not subject to freezing.

The boiler is designed to be installed on a solid

wall. The wall fixing must ensure a stable and

effective support for the appliance, using the

bracket and fixings supplied.

If the unit is enclosed in a cupboard or moun-

ted alongside, there must be space for normal

maintenance work. Fig. 9 and tab. 1 give the

minimum clearances to leave around the unit.

Safe Handling of Substances

Care should be taken when handling the boiler

insulation panels, which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos, mercury or CFCs are included in

any part of the boiler.

Product Handling Advice

When handling or lifting always use safe techniques - keep your back straight, bend your knees, don’t

twist - move your feet, avoid bending forwards and sideways and keep the load as close to your body

as possible.

Where possible transport the boiler using a sack truck or other suitable trolley.

Always grip the boiler firmly, and before lifting feel where the weight is concentrated to establish the

centre of gravity, repositioning yourself as necessary.
