1. SAFETY REGULATIONS The appliance must be installed in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations; October 1994. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution. Atmos Heating Systems does not accept any liability for damage or injury caused by not (strictly) observing the current safety regulations and instructions, nor by negligence while installing the Atmos InterSystem wall-mounted gas heater and any accompanying accessories.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE 2.1 General The Atmos InterSystem wall-mounted gas boiler is designed for delivering heat to the water of a CH system and, if required, heating hot water via an indirect hot water tank. The air supply and flue discharge can be connected to the appliance by means of two separate pipes or a concentric connection. The appliance has its own wall mounting strip, but can also be fitted to an optional wall mounting frame that allows top connections.
0 Pump overrun After the operation of the CH, the pump has an overrun. This overrun time is set to the value according to parameter 8 (see § 7.3; factory setting is 1 min). This setting can be changed. Also, the controller will automatically run the pump for 10 seconds, once every 24 hours, to prevent it from getting stuck. This activation of the pump takes place at the time of the last heat demand 24hrs later. In order to change this time, set the room thermostat higher for a while at the desired time.
temperature and the operation mode can be set with parameters [E] and [E.] (refer to §7.3). 2.4 PC interface The controller has an interface for a PC. With a special cable and accompanying software, a PC can be connected. This provision makes it possible to follow the behaviour of the controller, the appliance and the heating system during a long period. 2.5 Test programmes In the controller, there is provision for putting the appliance into a test status.
