Potterton declare that no substances harmful

to health are contained in the appliance or

used during appliance manufacture.

1.1 Description

1. The Potterton Performa System are fully

automatic gas fired wall mounted system boilers.

They are room sealed and fan assisted.

2. The boilers are set to give a maximum output of

12kW, 18kW, 24kW or 28kW.

3. They are designed for use on Natural Gas

(G20) and can be converted to use Propane (12e,

18e, 24e & 28e) or Butane (12e, 18e & 24e).

4. The boiler incorporates a circulating pump and

expansion vessel. It is suitable for use only on fully

pumped sealed systems.

5. The boiler data badge gives details of the

model, serial number and Gas Council number

and is situated on the control box. It is visible when

the case front panel is removed (Fig. 1).

6. The boiler is intended to be installed in

residential / commercial / light industrial E.M.C.

environments on a governed meter supply only.

7. The boiler must be installed with one of the

purpose designed flues such as the standard

horizontal flue kit, part no. 247719.

8. All systems must be thoroughly flushed and

treated with inhibitor (see section 6.1).

1.2 Installation

1. The appliance is suitable for installation only in

G.B. and I.E. and should be installed in

accordance with the rules in force. For Ireland

install in accordance with I.S.813 “INSTALLATION OF

GAS APPLIANCES”. The installation must be carried

out by a CORGI Registered Installer or other

competent person and be in accordance with the

relevant requirements of GAS SAFETY (Installation

and Use) REGULATIONS, the BUILDING REGULATIONS

(Scotland) (Consolidation), the LOCAL BUILDING

REGULATIONS, the CURRENT I.E.E. WIRING

REGULATIONS and the bye laws of the Local Water

Undertaking. Where no specific instructions are

given, reference should be made to the relevant

BRITISH STANDARD CODES OF PRACTICE.

1.3 Optional Extras

Various flue extensions, bends, vertical flue

kits,control accessories etc. are available as

optional extras. These are detailed in a separate

publication.

“Benchmark”Log Book

As part of the industry-wide “Benchmark”initiative all Potterton boilers now

include an Installation, Commissioning and Service Record Log Book.

Please read the Log Book carefully and complete all sections relevant to

the appliance and installation. These include sections on the type of

controls employed, flushing the system, burner operating pressure etc.

The details of the Log Book will be required in the event of any warranty

work. Also, there is a section to be completed at each subsequent regular

service visit. The Log Book must be left with the user.

3.0 Appliance Operation

3.1 Operating Mode (Fig. 2)

1. With a demand for heating, the pump circulates

water through the primary circuit. At a pre-

determined flow rate the hydraulic differential

pressure switch operates, initiating the ignition

sequence.

2. The main burner ignites at low rate, then the

gas valve controls the gas rate to maintain the

heating temperature measured by the

temperature sensor.

3. When the flow temperature exceeds the setting

temperature, a 3 minute delay occurs before the

burner relights automatically (anti-cycling). The

pump continues to run during this period.

4. When the demand is satisfied the burner is

extinguished and the pump continues to run for a

period of 3 minutes (Pump Overrun).

IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in

the ‘0’(Off) position the electrical supply to the

boiler is isolated. The boiler will not operate.

3.3 Frost Protection Mode

1. The frost protection mode is integral to the

appliance and functions only with the selector

switch (see Section 2.1) in the domestic hot water

and central heating position. If the system

temperature falls below 5°C then the boiler will

fire on its minimum setting until a flow temperature

of 30°C is reached. Further protection can be

incorporated by using a system frost thermostat.

3.4 Pump Protection

1. With the selector switch (see Section 2.1) in

either the central heating or central heating and

hot water position the pump will automatically

operate for 1 minute in every 24 hours to prevent

sticking.
