WHAT TO CHECK ON A REGULAR BASIS
ACV recommends to check the system at least every 6 months as follows:
· Check that the system water pressure is at least 0.1 MPa (1 bar) when cold. If the pressure drops below 0.07 MPa (0.7 bar), the built-in pressure sensor blocks the appliance until the pressure exceeds 0.12 MPa (1.2 bar).
· If it is required to top up the system to maintain the minimum recommended water pressure, always turn the appliance off and only add small amounts of water at a time. If a large amount of cold water is added in a hot boiler, the boiler can be damaged definitively.
· If the system needs to be refilled repeatedly with water, please contact your installer.
· Check that there is no water on the floor under the boiler. If there is, please call your installer.
· If a condensate neutralisation system is installed, check it and have it cleaned regularly.
· Check regularly that there is no error message (lockout) on the screen. Refer also to the Troubleshooting table in “In case of Problem…” on page 7 or call your installer as required.

General remarks

· The end user is only allowed to carry out the basic set-up operations mentioned in “Controller Set-up Guide” on page 8, after he has received all relevant instructions from the installer. Any other set-up must be carried out by an approved installer.

· If the end user misuses the installer code to access installer-specific parameters and makes changes that cause a system failure, any warranty claim will be void.

USING THE CONTROL PANEL

1 – ACVMax Touch control panel – It is comprised of an LCD display and soft keys reacting to the touch
2 – ACVMax LCD Display – It is the setup interface of the boiler and indicates the parameter values, the error codes and the set-up status of the parameters. It displays a series of screens, each showing information and/or icons. The main icons are detailed on the following page.
3 – Installer function – By touching simultaneously the up and down arrow keys for 3 seconds, the installer can open the access code window of the ACVMax controller and set up the system once the code has been filled in.
4- Arrow touch soft keys and OK/Reset touch key To browse through the screens and menus of the ACVMax controller, set up the appliance, increase and decrease the displayed values and validate the selections. The OK/Reset key is also used to RESET the appliance after a blocking (following the instructions on the screen).
5- Sleeping mode soft key – To put the unit in a sleeping mode.
When touching the soft key, the unit is in a sleeping mode but is not isolated from power supply. Therefore, live current is still present in the unit. For your safety, disconnect electrical power supply to the unit before maintenance or making any electrical connections to avoid possible electric shock hazard. Failure to do so can cause serious injury, or death.

· When putting in sleeping mode using the soft key, the appliance will not react to any heat demand. However, the basic appliance protection functions (such as frost protection, etc.) remain active.
· In addition, the arrow soft keys are no longer illuminated, and the soft key lighting is dimmed.
6- ON/OFF Master switch – To turn the appliance ON and OFF. When in OFF position, no power is supplied to the appliance.
The ACVMax navigation is performed through soft keys that react to the touch and emit a short beep when tapped.
Exert a light and short touch (tap) on the soft keys to activate their function. Holding the touch too long will not generate any reaction from the ACVMax Touch, unless it is a combination of soft keys meant to be touched simultaneously for a determined duration, as instructed in this manual. The arrow keys can also be held longer to increase or decrease values faster.
Navigation through the menus and selection of items/ modification of values is performed through four arrow soft keys , , , . The center soft key is used for validation (and for Reset in some cases).
The installer is provided with full access to all available features after simultaneously touching the and soft keys for 3 seconds and entering a code.

APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION HEATMASTER® 25 C EVO
The HeatMaster® 25 C Evo is a condensing combination boiler. The boiler combines ACV’s “Tank-inTank” concept with a double primary circuit to reach the high performance of a TOTAL CONDENSATION, double-circuit boiler. Also refer to ML Book for component views.
The HeatMaster® 25 C Evo model is equipped with a high efficiency charging pump and with an ACV air/ gas premix burner with low NOx emissions. During operation, the burner starts automatically as soon as the boiler temperature gets lower than the preset temperature and stops as soon as the preset temperature is reached.
The HeatMaster® 25 C Evo features a built-in frost protection mechanism: as soon as the flow temperature [NTC1 probe] drops below 7°C, the central heating pumps are activated. As soon as the flow temperature is at 5°C, the burner starts up until the flow temperature rises above 15°C. The pumps continue to run for around 10 minutes. The function can be enabled or disabled through the installer menu. When the frost protection is disabled, only the pumps operate.
An anti-freeze function is also available if an outdoor temperature sensor is connected, the pumps are activated when the outside temperature drops below the threshold defined through the Freeze protection function in the installer menu. In order to enable the HeatMaster boiler to protect the whole system against freezing, all the valves of the radiators and the convectors should be completely open.

Configuration in a system
The HeatMaster® 25 C Evo boiler can be set up in different types of systems, either high or low temperature, or both, with or without external Domestic Hot Water tank. The HeatMaster® 25C Evo boilers can also be set up in a cascade system, using an external controller. Refer to “Configuration and system set- up” on page 34 for more information.
It is up to the installer to determine the best solution and reach the results the user is expecting.
One basic configuration is shown in this manual (see “Configuration and system set-up” on page 34), with the required accessories, required electrical connections and ACVMax setup using the EZ setup function.
Additional configurations requiring a more advanced setup are shown in the Installer’s Handbook of the appliance. The setup of those systems must be made exclusively by the installer using the installer code.
For any other configuration that is not mentioned in either manuals, please contact your ACV representative.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF CORROSION AND SCALING IN HEATING SYSTEMS

How oxygen and carbonates can affect the heating system
Oxygen and dissolved gasses in the water of the primary circuit contribute to the oxidation and the corrosion of the system components that are made of ordinary steel (radiators, …). The resulting sludge is then deposited in the appliance exchanger.
The combination of carbonates and carbon dioxide in the water results in the formation of scale on the hot surfaces of the installation, including those of the appliance exchanger.
These deposits in the heat exchanger reduce the water flow rate and thermally insulate the exchange surfaces, which is likely to damage them.
Sources of oxygen and carbonates in the heating circuit
The primary circuit is a closed circuit; the water it contains is therefore isolated from the mains water. When maintaining the system or filling up the circuit, water renewal results in the addition of oxygen and carbonates in the primary circuit. The larger the water volume in the system, the larger the addition.
Hydraulic components without an oxygen barrier (PE pipes and connections) admit oxygen into the system.
Prevention Principles
1. Clean the existing system before installing a new appliance
Before the system is filled, it must be cleaned in accordance with standard EN14336. Chemical cleaning agents can be used.
If the circuit is in bad condition, or the cleaning operation was not efficient, or the volume of water in the installation is substantial (e.g. cascade system), it is recommended to separate the appliance from the heating circuit using a plate-to-plate exchanger or equivalent. In that case, it is recommended to install a hydrocyclone or magnetic filter on the installation side.
2. Limit the fill frequency
Limit fill operations. In order to check the quantity of water that has been added into the system, a water meter can be installed on the filling line of the primary circuit.
Automatic filling systems are not recommended unless the fill frequency is monitored and the scale and corrosion inhibitor remain at the correct levels.
If your installation requires frequent water refilling, make sure your system is free of water leaks.
Inhibitors may be used in accordance with standard EN 14868.

3. Limit the presence of oxygen and sludge in the water
A deaerator (on the appliance flow line) combined with a dirt separator (upstream of the appliance) must be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
ACV recommends using additives that keep the oxygen in solution in the water, such as Fernox (www.fernox.com) and Sentinel (www.sentinel-solutions.net) products.
The additives must be used in accordance with the instructions issued by the manufacturer of the water treatment product.
4. Limit the carbonate concentration in the water
The fill water must be softened if its hardness is higher than 20° fH (11,2° dH).
Check regularly the water hardness and enter the values in the service log.
Water hardness table :

Water hardness Very soft Soft Fairly hard Hard Very hard

°fH 0 – 7 7 – 15 15 – 25 25 – 42 > 42

°dH 0 – 3.9 3.9 – 8.4 8.4 – 14 14 – 23.5 > 23.5

mmolCa(HCO3)2 / l 0 – 0.7 0.7 – 1.5 1.5 – 2.5 2.5 – 4.2 > 4.2

5. Control the water parameters
In addition to the oxygen and the water hardness, other parameters of the water must be checked.
Treat the water if the measured values are outside the range.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS

Essential instructions for safety
· If the appliance is not equipped with one, the heating circuit of the system must be fitted with an approved safety pressure relief valve, according to the pressure mentioned on the type plate.
· Please refer to the applicable local regulations for the installation of the required safety accessories in the hydraulic circuits. Please contact your ACV representative for more information.
· Use a two-wrench method when tightening field piping onto the appliance piping connections. Use one wrench to prevent the appliance connections from turning and the second to tighten field piping. Failure to support the appliance piping connections could damage piping or cause a leak.
· In the event of small amounts of hot water repeatedly being drawn off, a stratification effect can develop in the tank. The upper hot water layer may then reach very high temperatures.
· Hot water can cause scalding! The temperature of the domestic hot water can be adjusted up to 75 °C in the appliance. However, the temperature of the domestic hot water at the drawing off point must comply with local regulations.
· ACV recommends therefore the installation of a pre-set thermostatic mixing valve in order to provide hot water at a maximum of 60°C.
· The risk of developing bacteria exists, including “Legionella pneumophila”, if a minimum temperature of 60°C is not maintained in both the DHW tank and the hot water distribution network.
· In order to avoid exposure to extremely hot water that can cause serious burns, never leave children, old people, disabled or handicapped people in the bath or shower alone. Never allow young children to turn on the hot water or fill their own bath.

Essential instructions for the correct operation of the appliance
· Make sure that the mains water used to fill the appliance has a minimum pressure of 0.12 MPa (1.2 bar).
· Make sure to install a pressure reducing valve set at 0.45 MPa (4.5 bar) if the mains supply pressure is in excess of 0.6 MPa (6 bar).
· Flush the system before connecting the domestic hot water circuit. Refer to the installation instructions.
· If the appliance is not equipped with one, make sure to install an expansion vessel in the primary circuit, which is adapted to the appliance power/ size and the type of system.
· It is recommended to install an expansion vessel in the DHW circuit to prevent the safety valve from opening constantly and reduce the water hammer effect in the system.
· If the appliance is used as a domestic hot water preparation tank, a primary expansion vessel adapted to the boiler power/size and to the type of system must be fitted in the heating circuit (if there is no built-in expansion vessel, or if the builtin expansion vessel size is not sufficient).
General remark
· If the water drawing off point is far from the tank, installing an auxiliary DHW loop can allow to get hot water more quickly at all times.
· The circuit illustrations are basic principle diagrams only.

General remark
· At installation of domestic piping, ensure that the boiler connection elbow is correctly tightened before installing the pipes. Retighten as required.
· At commissioning and once the system is under pressure, check that there are no water leaks. Retighten as required.

3. In case a straight (horizontal or sloped) element is longer than 1 m, support the element in its center using a clamp, making sure to allow free movement of the pipe.
4. Secure with a clamp every 2 meters in vertical piping/1 meter in horizontal/sloped piping, making sure to distribute the clamps evenly on the length of piping.
Essential instructions for the correct operation of the appliance · A condensation outlet connected to the sewer
must be fitted close to the boiler to prevent the condensation products from the flue pipe from running into the boiler. · Install a condensate neutralisation system if required by national and/or local regulations and have it cleaned regularly. · Only use flue system components from the same manufacturer to connect this appliance and ensure that the pipe and connection diameters all match. · Make sure to secure the flue piping to a solid structure. · Exclusively use provided brackets to support the flue system.

· For safety reasons and to make assembly easier, it is recommended to prefer the use of concentric flue pipes when possible.
· It is recommended to isolate the flue piping in damp rooms to prevent condensation water from forming on the piping and drip.
· When cutting the pipes to dimension, make sure to cut squarely and deburr the edges to prevent seals from being incorrect or damaged.
· To make piping assembly easier, exclusively use a mixture of water and soap (1%) on the extremity of the pipe to be fit in.
· When fitting metal flue pipes, make sure to always fit the pipe into the sleeve to the end stop.
· When fitting plastic flue pipes, make sure to allow material expansion by leaving about 10 mm between the pipe end and the sleeve end stop.
· Make sure to install the piping without any strain. · Make sure to install an inspection opening in the flue
system. · When connecting the flue pipes, make sure not to
exceed the maximum length recommended for the product, otherwise the system power might decrease. · ACV-approved components will be used for the chimney connection. Failure to do so will make any warranty claim void. · For C63 connection type (not allowed in Belgium), make sure to use the correct piping material according to the resistance to temperature, pressure, chemical composition of flue, condensation and soot. A code (as explained in EN 1443), marked on the pipe, allows to determine if the material complies with the flue system requirements.

Applications with Water Hammer Effect (e.g. car wash)

When the appliance is used in applications where water hammer effect can be severe due to the frequent and sudden opening/closing of valves, (e.g. car wash systems, etc.), devices should be installed in the system to counter this effect and prevent damage from occurring to the piping/appliance.
The water hammer effect is caused by shock waves running through the system when the flow rate is changed suddenly (e.g. when a valve is closed/opened suddenly). This induces a surge/sudden fall in pressure, which creates noise and sometimes movement in the system piping.

The pressure wave created in these circumstances can be up to three times greater than the standing system pressure. This can damage the piping and the appliance.
It is therefore strongly recommended to install shock arrestor absorber and/or water hammer arrestor devices in the hydraulic system.
To determine the correct devices to be installed in the system for your application type and size, please contact your ACV representative.
