Before you install the boiler;
This boiler is configured for Natural Gas from the factory. If conversion to
Propane Gas is required, the conversion kit supplied with the boiler must be
used. This guide is designed to provide a quick overview to the licensed
professional heating contractor for installing the Vitodens 100-W B1HE/B1KE
boiler. It is NOT a substitute for the technical support literature supplied
with the boiler and accessories. The technical support literature for each
product contains the necessary safety and national/local code requirements
which, if not followed exactly, may lead to property damages, personal
injuries and/or loss of life. Viessmann Manufacturing assumes no
responsibility for damage(s) of any kind caused by inappropriate use of this
manual and/or failure to read the technical literature provided which may also
render the warranty null and void.
Codes
The installation of this unit shall be in accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, use CAN/CSA-B149.1 or .2 Installation Codes for
Gas Burning Appliances for Canada. For U.S. installations use the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. Always use latest editions of codes.
In Canada all electrical wiring is to be done in accordance with the latest
edition of CSA C22.1 Part 1 and/or local codes. In the U.S. use the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. The heating contractor must also comply with
both the Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired
Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1, and the Installation Code for Hydronic Heating
Systems, CSA B214-01, where required by the authority having jurisdiction.

F.379| Burner in a fault state| Flame signal not present or insufficient|
- Check ionization electrode connecting cable for damage and firm seating.
- Check ionization electrode; replace if necessary. Reset the boiler.
F.380| Burner in a fault state| Flame loss immediately after flame formation (during safety time)| Check gas supply (gas pressure and gas flow switch). Check balanced flue system for flue gas recirculation. Check ionization electrode and burner gauze assembly:
- Clearance to burner gauze assembly
- Contamination on electrode Reset the boiler.
F.381| Burner in a fault state| Flame loss during operating phase| Check gas supply (gas pressure and gas flow switch). Check balanced flue system for flue gas recirculation. Check ionization electrode and burner gauze assembly:
- Clearance to burner gauze assembly.
- Contamination on electrode Reset the boiler.
F.446| Burner in a fault state| Deviation, boiler supply
temperature sensor/high limit safety cutout| Check the supply temperature
sensor/high limit safety cut-out. Check plug-in connection and lead to sensor.
Reset the boiler.
F.467| Burner in a fault state| Gas supply insufficient during calibration.
Contaminated or insufficiently sized gas line.|
- Scan for Test static gas pressure and gas flow pressure.
- Check that on-site gas line and gas flow switch are correctly sized.
- Visually inspect gas solenoid valve inlet and strainer on the inlet side for contamination. Reset the boiler.
Note: Contamination from a brazed gas line, for example, can block up the gas solenoid valve strainer on the inlet side.
