Description Of Functions - Alde Compact 3010 Betriebsanweisung & Installationsanleitung

Please read these instructions care-
fully before using the boiler. For
Operating Instructions and Instal-
lation Instructions of control panel,
see separate instruction.
These instructions are approved for The
Alde Compact 3010 boiler fitted in cara-
vans, motor caravans and buildings in
accordance with CE no. 0845 BP0003,
installation in vehicles e500 00005 and
EMC e5 03 0261.Installation and
repairs may only be carried out by a
professional. National regulations must
be adhered to.
boiler design
The boiler consists of three eccen-
trically-fitted cylinders (heat exchanger,
water jacket for the heating system and,
outermost, water jacket for hot water).
The two outer pipes, and their ends
and connections, are made of stainless
steel, while the heat exchanger is made
of aluminium.
The heat exchanger is divided into two
semi-circles. The burner is located in
the upper half, being the combustion
chamber, and the combustion gases
are expelled through the lower half.
The burner unit is fitted on the end of
the heat exchanger. It consists of a
combustion fan, burner, solenoid valve
and intake/exhaust connections.
Two heating cartridges are fitted to the
water jacket of the heating system.
Maximum output is 2 or 3 kW, depend-
ing on model.

FunCtions
using lPg
When LPG operation is selected on
the control panel, the combustion fan
starts. When the fan speed is correct, it
signals the circuit board that the boiler
can be lit. The circuit board sends igni-
tion sparks to the sparkplug at the same
time as it sends electricity to the sole-
noid valve, which opens to allow gas in.
The burner ignites, and a sensor trans-
mits a signal back to the circuit board
that the boiler is lit, and
the ignition spark stops. The burner
keeps burning until the boiler thermo-
stat or the room thermostat reaches the
set temperature reading.
Should the boiler go out for any reason,
the sensor is activated and a new
attempt is made to start the boiler (in
about 10 seconds).
using the heating cartridge
Electrical operation is selected on the
control panel, the 12-volt relays on the
circuit board trip, allowing the 230 volt
supply to reach the electrical elements.
The heating cartridge is controlled in
the same way as the gas boiler.
Warm water
When only warm water is required, for
example during the summer, no settings
need to be made, the boiler will look
after this function automatically.
The pump will only start when the
temperature in the vehicle is lower than
the set temperature (see item 4, Control
Panel).
If the vehicle temperature is higher, the
pump will not start.
imPortant inFormation
• The boiler must not be started if
there is no glycol in the system.
• The boiler always gives priority to the
electrical heating cartridge.
• The LPG boiler and heating cartridge
may be operated in parallel.
• The heating system may be heated
up without the warm water heater
being filled with fresh water.
• Always switch off the main isolator
for the boiler when the vehicle is not
being used.
• Always drain the warm water heater
of fresh water if there is a risk of
frost.
• The LPG boiler must not be operated
when refuelling the vehicle.
• When washing the vehicle, take care
not to get water in the roof vent.
