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 28i is a fully automatic

gas fired wall mounted combination boiler. It is

room sealed and fan assisted, and will serve

central heating and mains fed domestic hot water.

2.The unit incorporates a small storage cylinder

built into the boiler providing hot water the moment

the tap is turned on.

3. The boiler is set to give a maximum output of

29.4 kW in both modes.

4. It is designed for use on Natural Gas (G20) and

can be converted to use Propane.

5. The boiler is suitable for use only on fully

pumped sealed heating systems. Priority is given

to domestic hot water.

6. 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).

7. The boiler is intended to be installed in

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

environments on a governed meter supply only.

8. The boiler must be installed with one of the

purpose designed flues such as the standard

horizontal flue kit, part no. 247719.

9. All systems must be thoroughly flushed and

treated with inhibitor (see section 6.2).

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.

“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.

NOTE: This appliance must be installed in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions

and the regulations in force.Read the instructions

fully before installing or using the appliance.

1.0 Introduction

1.3 Instant Domestic Hot Water

(Expansion Vessel & Pre-Heat Store)

1. The boiler expansion vessel incorporates a

small volume of stored primary hot water.

2. When the boiler has been off and there is then

a demand for domestic hot water the stored

primary hot water ensures that domestic hot water

is supplied instantly at temperature.

3. The stored hot water is part of the primary

circuit. This is not supplied as domestic hot water,

which is fresh mains water heated by a heat

exchanger within the boiler.

4. The stored primary hot water temperature is

maintained whilst the boiler is in operation. During

a period when there is no demand for heating or

hot water the temperature of the stored primary

hot water will eventually fall. The boiler will

operate occasionally in order to maintain the

temperature. This is indicated by the domestic hot

water mode neon flashing.

1.4 Optional Extras

1. Various flue extensions, bends, vertical flue

kits, control accessories etc. are available as

optional extras. These are detailed in a separate

publication.

3.0 Appliance Operation

NOTE: All delay timers mentioned in 3.1 and 3.2

are overridden by domestic hot water demand.

3.1 Central Heating Mode (Fig. 2)

1. With a demand for heating, the pump circulates

water through the primary circuit. At a pre-

determined flow rate the central heating flow

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 30 seconds (Pump Overrun).

5. If there is no other demand the pre-heat

function will operate if switched on (see Section

3.2).

3.2 Domestic Hot Water - Preheat Mode

(Fig. 3)

1. With the pre-heat function switched on (pre-

heat control fully clockwise), priority is given to the

replenishment of the pre-heat store. The DHW

mode neon ( ) will flash during this function.

2. The diverter valve remains in the DHW priority

position. This allows the pump to circulate hot

water to the store and back to the primary heat

exchanger via the bypass pipe.

3. The automatic ignition sequence commences

after approximately 25 seconds and the burner

will light.

4. When the store reaches the desired

temperature the burner is extinguished. The pump

continues to run for a period of 30 seconds.

5. Following a demand for domestic hot water or

the end of a central heating ON period, the pre-

heat function restarts.

3.0 Appliance Operation

3.3 Domestic Hot Water Mode (Fig. 3A)

1. Priority is given to the domestic hot water

supply. A demand at a tap or shower will override

any central heating requirement.

2. The flow of water will operate the DHW flow

switch which requests the 3 way valve to change

position. This will allow the pump to circulate the

primary water through the DHW plate heat

exchanger and take the stored water to give

instant hot water.

3. The burner will light automatically and the

temperature of the domestic hot water is

controlled by the temperature sensor.

4. When the domestic hot water demand ceases

the burner will extinguish and the diverter valve

will remain in the domestic hot water mode,

unless there is a demand for central heating.

5. If there is no other demand the pre-heat

function will operate if switched on (see Section

3.2)

IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in

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

boiler is isolated. The boiler will not operate

and the integral timer (if fitted) will require

resetting once the selector switch is set to

either Position (i) or Position (ii).

3.4 Frost Protection Mode

1. The frost protection mode is integral to the

appliance and functions only with the selector

switch (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.

3.5 Pump Protection

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

either the central heating or central heating and

domestic hot water position the pump will

automatically operate for 1 minute in every 24

hours to prevent sticking.
