Setup, Compatibility & Care
This unit is compatible with the Ideal Logic, Logic+, Independent, and i Mini series. To ensure proper setup, the engineer must isolate the electrical supply before opening the boiler casing. Handle the new PCB by the edges to avoid electrostatic discharge, which can damage sensitive microprocessors. After installation, the engineer must perform a full safety check, including gas tightness tests and flue gas analysis, to ensure the boiler meets all regulatory standards. Avoid cleaning the PCB area with liquids or abrasive tools; if the area is dusty, use dry, compressed air only while the system is powered down.
