The hot water for the heating system and for the domestic circuit is produced by a primary circuit
and a secondary (domestic) circuit that are activated according to demand.

PRIMARY CIRCUIT (BOILER CIRCUIT)

The primary circuit with the relative control and safety devices is activated with each heating or
domestic circuit demand for water.

- OPERATION
The copper blades of the water-gas exchanger (10) absorb the heat contained in the flue gas
produced by combustion.
Those blades then transfer the heat to the water being circulated inside by the boiler pump (7).
The water is introduced directly into the plant or can be deviated inside the cylinder coil (3).
This depends on the position of the electric 3-way valve (23) which, depending on the demand,
allows water to flow through the plant delivery (M) and return (R) pipes or deviates it to the coil (3).

- SAFETY DEVICES AND CONTROLS

System by-pass (6) 21 and 24 versions
This ensures water circulation in the primary circuit
(between flow and return) even when this is prevented
by the high resistance of the system.
It is mounted on the delivery manifold and can be
adjusted by means of a screw accessible from the
bottom part of the valve plate.

System filling valve (5)

This valve is installed between the boiler circuit and the
domestic circuit cold water inlet is used to pressurize the
heating system.
Downstream of the cock, an one way valve is fitted (nr 2
of hydraulic circuit) that prevents accidental flow of
water from the primary circuit to the water network
(d.h.w. circuit).
Its seat is located in the lower part of the monobloc where
it is screwed on. 27 version

Pump pressure meter (2)

This detects the difference in pressure at pump
extremities.
Its housing is in the delivery manifold and is coupled to
a micro-switch (3) that prevents burner operation in the
event of pump blockage or no water in the boiler circuit.
Prevents primary exchanger overheating.

3-bar safety valve (4)

Prevents safety pressure (3 bar) being exceeded in the
circuit.
On the versions 21 and 24 is fitted to the rear part of the
delivery manifold group, while on the version 27 is
fastened in its front part by means of a socket head screw.

HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT

SECONDARY CIRCUIT (D.H.W. CIRCUIT)

The domestic hot water circuit is engaged every time the water contained in the storage tank and
measured by means of the d.h.w. NTC sensor (4) has to be restored to the desired temperature.
This occurs when domestic hot water is used and to restore the losses due to thermal dispersion.

- OPERATION
Following a d.h.w. request, the modulation board starts the boiler pump (7) and powers the
motor of the electric 3-way valve (8).
The consequent movement of the valve to domestic hot water position (see 3-way electric valve
operation), closes the system return pipe (R) and, at the same time, opens the return pipe of the
storage tank coil (4).
This way, circulation is allowed in the coil (4) which, through its walls, enables the cold
domestic water to absorb the heat contained in the primary circuit water.
In this phase, the central heating function is disconnected as the production of d.h.w. has
priority.

- STORAGE TANK
This AISI 316L STAINLESS STEEL storage tank has a useful capacity of 60 l.
It consists of an external sleeve enclosed at the bottom by a flange fixed by 12 screws.
A STAINLESS STEEL cylindrical pipe with a concentric spiral shape (coil) is inserted inside and is coiled
along all the height of the storage tank.
Heat is exchanged between the hot water in the primary circuit and the water contained in the cylinder
through the walls of the coil.
This keeps the water in the cylinder at a constant temperature and guarantees instant availability of domestic
hot water on demand (21.000, 24.000 e 27.000 kcal/h according to the versions).
If necessary, the coil can be removed from the storage tank after taking off the lower inspection flange.
The following devices ensure that it operates correctly and is maintained in good condition:
Anode (1)
It is inserted in the storage tank and protects it against the
action of galvanic currents.
It is screwed onto the external sleeve at the bottom of the
storage tank.
Polyphosphate metering unit (optional)
This prevents any limestone deposits from accumulating on
the walls of the coil.
The special kit is mounted on the domestic cold water circuit
inlet.

Gaudium Magnum (6)

(see description and operation Gaudium Magnum)
Recirculation kit (optional)
This is used to connect the pipes of any recirculation system
of the domestic hot water circuit.
It consists of a pipe that is inserted into the tank after having
removed the anode with relative plug.
When the kit is installed, the anode must be screwed to the end
of the pipe.
Domestic hot water NTC sensor (NB) (9)
This allows the printed control board to detect the temperature
of the water contained in the storage tank.
It is attached to the external wall of the storage and inserted
inside an immersion trap.
Maximum flow d.h.w limit temperature thermostat (3)
It is a clicson thermostat which supplies the solenoid valve of
the Gaudium Magnum device.
It is fitted on the external wall of the storage tank.

Safety valve unit (13)

This unit is located in the lower part of the cylinder near the
domestic circuit cold water inlet.
In addition to an 8-bar valve (10) that prevents the safety
pressure from being exceeded inside the storage, it also
includes:
- a filter, a cylinder drain valve with hose fitting (12) and a
one-way valve (“5” domestic circuit) to prevent a pressure
increase following heating of the domestic circuit hot water
from causing water to return toward the water mains.
Domestic hot water circuit expansion vessel (11)
It compensates for volume variations following heating of the
water contained in the cylinder.
It is connected to the safety valve unit and has a capacity of 2 l
at a pre-load pressure of 3.5 bar.

- GAUDIUM MAGNUM (6)

This device is fitted between the cold
water inlet (inlet) and the safety valve
group (outlet).
Inside it works an electrovalve that in
stand-by condition allows the water
passage through a flow limiter (1) (10
l/min for versions 21 and 27, 12 l/min for
version 24)
When the electrovalve (3) is supplied the
water flows trough a supplementary
passage through a 6 l/min flow limiter (2)

- Operation

The valve is electrically enabled (230 VAC) setting the switch “Gaudium Magnum”, located on
the control panel, on position .
It starts to work when the limit thermostat of max flow (3), fitted on the storage tank, detects a
temperature upper 50 °C.
When the temperature gets down under 41 °C, the limit thermostat of max flow (3)
automatically deactivates the valve (3).
When the storage tank temperature is high, this system permits to have an high domestic hot
water flow rate.
Instead when the temperature gets down, the hot water flow rate is limited in order to restore
rapidly the hot water temperature.
Re-setting Gaudium Magnum switch on “0” position, the valve (3) is always deactivates.

N.B.: in order to activate the “Gaudium Magnum” operation, the adjustment knob of domestic hot water
temperature must be adjusted from 6 to 9.

- MOTORIZED 3-WAY VALVE

This is a 3-way electric valve operating on the return pipe of the primary circuit that permits,
according to the type of request (domestic hot water or central heating), running boiler water into
the central heating system or into the storage tank coil
This depends on the position of the shutter (3) which impedes transit towards the system and at the
same time permits this towards the storage tank (d.h.w. position) or vice versa (central- heating
position).
Movement of the shutter (3) in both positions is achieved by energizing the motor (1).

Operation
To move to the heating or domestic
hot water circuit, the motor (1) is
activated by the control card.
Activating the motor, whose rpm is
reduced by a special gear system,
begins rotating a disc (6) with an
eccentric connection on the shaft of
that motor.
The moving disc activates a special
coupling (5) that, with each 180°
rotation, compresses (heating
position) or releases (domestic circuit
position) the plug valve contrast
spring (4).

Hydraulically reaching the requested position causes first one limit switch (2) to open and then
another to close.
This allows the voltage to be cut off to the motor, freezing it in the position reached and enabling
motor operation only when a different request (domestic circuit or heating signal) is received.

Technical documentation Technical documentation

GAS CIRCUIT
The circuit consists of an atmospheric burner and a modulating type valve for gas combustion
and gas flow adjustment respectively.

- OPERATION
When the main coils (3) are energized, both inner valve shutters open, allowing the gas to flow
towards the burner.
The flow rate/outlet pressure is regulated by means of the gas valve stabilizer and the modulation
coil.
By means of the burner nozzles (7), the fuel is injected into the venturi pipes (ramps) inside which
the air-gas mix is obtained that is ignited by the spark from the ignition electrodes (5).

- MODULATING GAS VALVE

The gas valve (SIT 845) features two main coils and a third modulation coil controlled by the
adjustment board.
The maximum and minimum outlet pressure settings can be made on this valve (see gas
adjustments).
Main electric coils (3) SIT 845
These two ON-OFF coils are fed (230 Vac) by the control
card to ignite the burner.
They are electrically connected in parallel and fed by
mains voltage through a special connector (2).
Modulation coil (1)
This low-voltage coil is controlled by the modulation card.
It controls the gas valve stabilizer and can be used to vary
the outlet pressure so that it is proportional to the d.c.
signal conveyed through it.

- BURNER
The burner consists of horizontal venturi pipes (6) in which the gas is injected by an equal number of
nozzles (7) mounted on the special header (8).
The number of nozzles is 13 in the 21,000 kcal/h version, 15 in the 24,000 kcal/h version and 16 in the
27,000 kcal/h version .
Ignition occurs by means of an electronic board (unit) which controls the ignition electrode (5) and
detection electrode (4).
Ignition electrodes (5)
They are controlled by the ignition unit that
generates an electric discharge between the two
electrodes.
They are mounted on the front of the burner between
the first and the second gas ramp (Venturi tube).
Detection electrode (4)
This is controlled by the ignition unit and detects
burner ignition.
It is positioned on the front of the burner on the
ramp alongside the ignition electrodes.

GAS ADJUSTMENTS
Max and minimum gas pressure adjustments can be made respecting the values shown on the
page’s 31 and 32.

- SIT 845 VALVE

After having connected the leads of
a differential pressure gauge to the
gas valve outlet (4) and to the
positive pressure connector at the
top of the sealed chamber (see
figure), do the following :

Maximum pressure setting

- Do a d.h.w. request (open a tap)
and setting the temperature selector
at maximum.
Turn nut “3” clockwise to increase
the pressure to the burner and
counter-clockwise to reduce it.

Minimum pressure setting

(to carry out after the maximum
pressure setting)
- After cutting off the power supply
to the modulation coil, turn screw
“2” clockwise to increase the
pressure to the burner and counter-
clockwise to reduce it.

2) Min. power setting screw 5) Gas valve inlet pressure connector
3) Max. power setting screw 6) Protective cap

- CHANGING TYPE OF GAS

Adaptation to a type of gas different to that for which the boilers are intended, can be done by using the
special kits (natural gas or LPG).
The changeover consists in replacing the burner nozzles and in moving to the modulation board of the
“NATURAL GAS- LPG” (CM3) bridge.
The minimum and maximum pressures are then set on the gas valve in the way described above.
Adjustment of the minimum and maximum output during the heating phase and of burner ignition
pressure (see table below) can be done by means of the respective trimmers mounted on the modulation
board (see modulation board operation).

FLUE CIRCUIT

- OPERATION
The combustion residues, after investing the water-gas exchanger (1), are conveyed to a hood (3) at
the top of which is a draught diverter (4).
Operation of the fan ensures forced extraction of the flues and at the same time creates a vacuum in
the sealed chamber (2) that permits extraction of the combustion air from outside.
Correct flue extraction is controlled by a differential pressure switch (5), operation of which enables
or does not enable burner ignition.

- AIR/FLUE SAMPLING TRAPS (6-7)

The top outer part of the chamber features two
sumps with screw closing accessible from the
front and through which combustion air (6) and
flues (7) can be extracted.

- FLUE PRESSURE SWITCH

SIGNAL PRESSURE POINT (8-9)
The top outer part of the sealed chamber
features two pressure points with screw closing
for measuring the signal at the ends of the flue
pressure switch (5).
The negative pressure point (8) is linked
through a Y-pipe to the top of the draught
diverter and to the negative pressure point of
the flue pressure switch.
The positive pressure point (9) is directly linked
to the inside of the sealed chamber.

STZS ed 06/03 14 ZEUS SUPERIOR

Technical documentation Technical documentation

- FLUE PRESSURE SWITCH (5)

This is positioned in the top inner part of the sealed chamber and, by means of the points provided, reads
the difference in pressure between the top of the draught diverter (the point where the extractor is
positioned and operates) and the inside of the sealed chamber.
The signal measured from the pressure switch varies according to the length of the extraction/exhaust
terminals and is measured by the special pressure points fitted to the top part of the sealed chamber (8-9).
Its operation causes a deviation of a switch contact that acts on the unit (IGN. UNIT) and enables or fails
to enable burner ignition.

- FAN (4)
The extractor operates downstream of the combustion chamber and is physically "rested" on the top part
of the hood (3) from which it extracts fumes into the exhaust pipes to which the boiler is linked.
It is controlled from the ignition unit and its operation coincides with that of the boiler.
The fans used differ according to the output of the appliance (21,000, 24,000 and 27,000 kcal/h).

EXTRACTION AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS

(see extraction and exhaust end instructions )
ZEUS Superior is prearranged for connection to the special coupling type extraction and exhaust pipes.

- EXHAUST
Connection to the exhaust pipes is done by means of a
flange (1) or a flanged curve to be fastened to the union
(4) on the top part of the sealed chamber after placing in
between a special shaped seal (6).
The flange differs according to whether the doubled or
concentric system is used. In the first case, the opening
for extraction of combustion air (5) is closed, while in the
latter case, this is used.
For correct boiler operation, a diaphragm (7) must be
fitted on the exhaust (4) in between the flange used (1).
Diaphragms of different diameter are available which
must be fitted according to the type of pipe and its length
(see boiler instruction booklet).

- EXTRACTION
Using the doubled system, connection to the extraction
pipes is done in the same way as the exhaust pipes, by
connecting up to the 80 mm diameter hole on the top part
of the sealed chamber.
The hole is normally closed by means of a special cap (2)
equipping the boilers.
If coaxial pipes are used, extraction is done through the concentric hole outside the exhaust pipe (5).

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
CENTRAL-HEATING PHASE

Operation with room thermostat

When the mainr switch (IG) is in WINTER position, it powers the modulation card and enables operation in
central heating mode.
When the room thermostat contact (TA) is closed, the low-voltage circuit starts the pump (MP) by closing the
contact of relay K2.
The circulation of water causes the pump pressure switch (SP) to close and, because this is connected in series
with the NC contact of the flue pressure switch (SV), the coil of relay K5 is energised.
Meanwhile, the adjustment circuit causes the deviation of the relay contact K3.
This way, the motor (M) of the 3-way valve (VD) is powered and continues to operate until the limit switch
"N" opens once the central heating position has been reached.
If the temperature read by the NTC heating sensor (NR) is below that set on the control panel with the heating
potentiometer, the low-voltage circuit excites the relay K5 and starts the fan (MV) commanding the relay K1.
The consequent deviation of the flue pressure switch (SV) powers the relay K4 the contact of which, on
closing, enables the control unit (IGN. UNIT) to start the ignition cycle, commanding first of all the ignition
electrodes (E1-E2) and then, with the consensus of the overheating thermostat (TS), both the main coils of the
gas valve (V/G).
Ignition of the burner is detected by the control unit (IGN. UNIT) by means of the ionisation electrode (E3).
Operation with Remote Friend Control
The main switch (IG) in SUMMER position powers the modulation board and remote control (CAR).
If the conditions found by the remote control (CAR) require ignition in central heating phase
(SUM/WINT switch in WINTER position, central-heating temperature setting above that read by the
central-heating sensor NR, request by the time programmer, room temperature adjustment above that
read), the board powers pump MP through relay K2 contact.
Burner ignition then occurs as described above.
NOTE: In both cases, at each switch-off due to temperature having been reached, the modulation board
stops burner operation during central-heating phase for 180 seconds., which can be reduced to 30
seconds by intervening on the special jumper (J1) (see modulation card operation).

D.H.W. PHASE

Operation
When the main switch (IG) is in SUMMER or WINTER position, it powers the modulation board and
enables operation in d.h.w. mode.
When the temperature read by NTC d.h.w. sensor (NB) is below that set on the control panel (or on the
CAR if fitted), the adjustment circuit starts the pump (MP) by means of the contact of relay K2.
The circulation of water causes the pump pressure switch (SP) to close and, because this is connected in
series with the NC contact of the flue pressure switch (SV), the coil of relay K5 is energised.
Meanwhile, the adjustment circuit causes the deviation of the relay contact K3.
This way, the motor (M) of the 3-way valve (VD) is powered and continues to operate until the limit
switch "A" opens once the d.h.w. position has been reached.
The low-voltage circuit excites the relay K5 and starts the fan (MV) commanding the relay K1.
The consequent deviation of the flue pressure switch (SV) powers the relay K4 the contact of which, on

Ignition of the burner is detected by the control unit (IGN. UNIT) by means of the ionisation electrode
(E3).

Operation with Gaudium Magnum”

When the Gaudium Magnum switch is in position, the contact of the switch “IP” is closed.
The solenoid valve EP and the lamp LP are powered when the main switch (IG) is “ON” position (SUMMER
or WINTER) and the max d.h.w. flow limit (TP) thermostat switch is closed.

MODULATION BOARD

The boiler is equipped with a microprocessor-controlled electronic board used on both the models with
3-way electric valve (Zeus Superior, Eolo Superior Plus) and on the models with central-heating and
d.h.w. pumps (Hercules).
The different type of operation is obtained by adjusting diode D9 (diode engaged = electric 3-way valve,
diode disengaged = double pump).
The board is connected to a terminal board (DISPLAY CARD) which, by means of LEDs and a display
panel, indicates the state of operation of the appliance.
The board is powered with main switch (IG) in position (summer) or (winter).

Central-heating request with room thermostat

With the main switch (IG) in WINTER position and the contact of the room thermostat (TA) closed, the low-
voltage circuit starts the circulator (MP) by means of relay “K2” and powers the motor (M) of the 3-way
valve (VD) through the contact of relay “K3”.
The circulation of water results in the closing of the pump pressure switch (SP) which, because it is connected
in series to the NC contact of the flue pressure switch (SV) powers the coil of relay “K5”.
If the temperature detected by means of NTC central heating sensor (NR) is below that set on the control
panel by means of the central heating potentiometer (HEATING), the adjustment circuit excites relay “K5”
and starts the fan (MV) controlled by relay “K1”.
The consequent deviation of the contact of the flue pressure switch (SV) results in relay “K4” being powered
and the relevant contact closing.
This powers the control unit (IGN. UNIT) and starts the ignition cycle.
During the ignition phase, the current to the modulation coil is restricted by the adjustment made with the soft
ignition trimmer (POT ACC.).
Once the flame has been detected (signal from control unit), the signal to the coil (MOD) is changed in a
manner directly proportionate to the difference between the temperature set with the central-heating
potentiometer (HEATING) and that detected by means of the NTC central-heating sensor (NR) and, if
necessary, reaches maximum set value in 50 seconds (maximum central-heating output).
When the set value is exceeded, the contact of relay “RT” is opened with consequent switch-off of the burner.
Re-ignition of the burner for the same request remains inhibited for 180 s / 30 s.

Central-heating request with Remote Friend Control

If the conditions detected by the remote control (CAR) require ignition in central-heating phase (SUM/WINT
switch of CAR in WINTER position, time programmer request, room temperature setting above that found),
the low-voltage circuit starts the circulator (MP) by means of relay K2 and powers the motor (M) of the 3-
way valve (VD) by means of the contact of relay “K3”.

STZS ed. 06/03 23 ZEUS SUPERIOR

Technical documentation Technical documentation

The circulation of water results in the closing of the pump pressure switch (SP) which, because it is connected
in series to the NC contact of the flue pressure switch (SV) powers the coil of relay “K5”.
If the temperature detected by means of NTC central-heating sensor (NR) is below that set by means of
the central heating potentiometer of the remote control (CAR), the adjustment circuit excites relay “K5”
and starts the fan (MV) controlled by relay “K1”.
The consequent deviation of the contact of the flue pressure switch (SV) results in relay “K4” being
powered and the relevant contact closing.
This powers the control unit (IGN. UNIT) and starts the ignition cycle, which continues in the same way
as the central-heating request with room thermostat.
Once the flame has been detected, the signal to the modulation coil is changed in a manner directly
proportionate to the difference between the boiler and room temperatures set and detected and, if
necessary, reaches maximum set value in 50 seconds (maximum central-heating output).
When the set value is exceeded, the contact of relay “RT” is opened with consequent switch-off of the
burner.
Re-ignition of the burner for the same request remains inhibited for 180 s / 30 s.

Domestic hot water request

If the temperature read by the NTC sensor on the storage tank (NB) is below that set by means of the
d.h.w. potentiometer (D.H.W.), the low-voltage circuit starts the pump (MP) by means of relay “K2 and
powers the motor (M) of the 3-way valve (VD) through contact of relay “K3”.
Following consequent closing of pump (SP) pressure microswitch, burner ignition proceeds in the same
way as for central-heating phase.
Flame modulation occurs with reference to the flow temperature read by the central-heating sensor (NR)
which is changed according to the difference between the temperature set by means of the d.h.w.
potentiometer (D.H.W.) and that measured by the d.h.w. sensor (NB).
When the temperature measured by the d.h.w. sensor (NB) exceeds that requested, the contact of relay
K4 is opened and after post-operation times also the contacts of relays “K2” (pump) and “K1” (fan).
When the temperature drops again, the relays are once again powered to start the new ignition cycle.
If, during operation, the heating sensor. (NR) measures a flow temperature higher than 87 ºC, the contact
of relay K4is opened. This is closed again just as soon as the temperature drops to 75 ºC.

Central-heating antifreeze request

With the main switch (IG) in SUMMER or WINTER position, if the temperature read by the NTC central-
heating sensor falls below 4 ºC, the board allows ignition in central-heating mode and keeps the boiler
operating with the burner at minimum output until a boiler temperature of 42°C is reached.

Domestic hot water request

With the main switch (IG) in SUMMER or WINTER position, if the temperature read by the NTC d.h.w.
sensor (NB) falls below 4 ºC, the board allows ignition in d.h.w. mode and keeps the boiler operating with the
burner at minimum output until the d.h.w. (NB) sensor reads a temperature of 8°C.
During operation, the water in the primary circuit remains below 42°C because when such temperature is
reached, the board switches off the burner.

“Chimneysweep” request
When the reset button (PU1) is pressed for at least 10 seconds, as soon as this is released, the board gives the
signal for boiler ignition and keeps this operating in central-heating mode at max heating output for 15
minutes.
In this phase, only the limit thermostat function is operative (90 ºC) performed by the central-heating sensor.
The function is only engaged if there are no requests under way for central-heating, domestic hot water or
antifreeze and it is indicated by means of code "7" on the display panel and by the flashing of central-heating
(DL1) and d.h.w. (DL2) LEDs.
It can be interrupted by cutting power to the circuit.
