4.0 Repressurising System & ‘Service Due’
4.1 Central Heating System Pressure
1. The water pressure in the central heating system is indicatedby the pressure gauge and also can be viewed on the displaywhen there is power to the boiler.
2. To display the water pressure press 6 times. ‘05’ willalternate with the system pressure. (NOTE: When the pump isrunning the gauge under the boiler may show a slightly differentreading to the display) .
3. With the system cold and the boiler not operating thepressure should be at least 0.5 bar. During operation thepressure should not exceed 2.5 bar, and will normally bebetween 1.0 and 1.5 (Fig. 1).
4. A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault (E117 displayed).The safety pressure relief valve will operate, at a pressure of 3(Fig. 3). It is important that your Installer or Service Engineer iscontacted as soon as possible.
5. The minimum pressure for correct operation is 0.5. If thepressure falls below 0.5, this may indicate a leak on the centralheating system (Fig. 2). Error Code E118 will be shown on thedisplay.
4.2 To Re-Pressurise the System (Using Temporary Filling Loop)
1. It may be necessary to repressurise the system occasionally(when the water pressure falls below 0.7 bar). A filling device(filling loop) will be fitted on the system. This may be on theboiler itself or on pipework near to the boiler. Seek advice fromyour installer.
2. If the water pressure requires regular re-pressurising a fault orleak is indicated (see section 4.1). Seek advice from your installer.
3. The filling loop will consist of two isolating taps and a separatetemporary filling pipe with connection fittings.
4. Fit the temporary filling pipe, and tighten the two nuts on thepipe to the taps.
5. Fully open one of the taps first, and then while watching thepressure gauge, carefully open the second tap.
6. When the needle on the pressure gauge indicates between 1and 2 bar, turn both taps off.
7. The temporary filling loop pipe must be disconnected andcompletely removed after the system is pressurised. (Ensure thetwo isolating taps are in the OFF position before disconnecting.)Keep the pipe in a safe place.
4.3 ‘Service Due’ Message (Fig. 3)
1. When activated the ‘Service Due’ message will be shown onthe boiler display after 11 months operation.
2. Please contact your Installer, Annual Service Provider or BaxiCustomer Support on 0344 871 1545 to arrange your AnnualService. Fig. 3
