they are available when required.
1.3 Termo - E concept
The Termo Plus E is a wet system electrically heated boiler for space heating only. It is not suitable for use with
an indirect water heater and should not be used under any circumstances to heat domestic hot water.
The boiler provides wet system central heating by passing the primary water over the immersion heaters. The
immersion heaters are located on the under-side of boiler ensuring the elements are constantly immersed in the
heating medium (water with appropriate inhibitor).
Termo Plus E uses weather compensation/heat curve technology. An outside sensor supplied with the boiler
informs the boiler of the outside temperature. This information is used by the boiler to set a temperature in the
heating system. The colder the external temperature, the more internal heating is required.
The boiler is supplied with a range of heat curves built into its software. Once correctly set, the heat curve need
never be altered. Heat curves are set according to the insulation levels of the property. A poorly insulated house
will require a higher primary heating temperature.
Selecting the heating curves at the time of installation is a simple process for the installer. A table is shown on
page 13 indicating which heating curve is required for the building type. Once the heating curve is correctly set, it
should never require changing.
The heating curve will aim for the property to be heated to 22°C. Not all households wish for the same internal
temperature, if the residents of the property require a higher or lower temperature, the selected curve should be
offset up or down by the appropriate number of degrees. Full instructions are given on page 14.
A room thermostat (not supplied) must be installed to finely regulate internal temperatures.
Heat curve systems operate for longer periods at lower temperatures than traditional systems and can typically
make savings of up to 15% over a standard heating system. Heat curve systems are widely used in Europe but
relatively new in the UK.
Heating curves also vary according to radiator or under-floor heating. The factory set heating curve is for a
building constructed to 2000 building regulations with radiator heating. Many boilers therefore will not require
adjustment of heating curve.
The boiler will modulate 1, 2 or 3 elements to achieve the desired primary temperature. The boiler reservoir is
insulated with 19 mm self-extinguishing Armaflex insulating material, which is sufficient to direct the whole heat
only to the heating system.
The boiler operates by rapidly heating a small water quantity. Energy use is maintained at 100% efficiency.
No flue or fan required - Almost silent in operation - No bulk oil storage tanks required
No annual safety check required

TMS-UT-0804-Z01-4 page 7
4.3.1 Select position for boiler
The boiler should preferably be installed on the lowest point in relation to the installation. This ensures that
elements are always immersed in water and there is no danger of burning out.
When positioning the boiler, ensure there is
adequate surrounding space to allow for pipe
connection, ventilation, servicing and replacement
of components. Refer to the diagram to the right for
guidance.
Access is required to the control panel connections
at underside of the boiler and the power supply
connection, located at left bottom side of boiler.
Ensure that bottom part of boiler is accessible to
change the immersion element.
Ensure the boiler is in a location where it will not be
affected by water drips or splashing.
Ensure that ventilation to the boiler is not impeded
by towels, linen etc placed very close to the boiler.
Do not place towels or linen on top of the boiler.
The figure below shows minimum recommended
clearances.
Recommended minimum clearances.
4.3.2 Fitting the boiler hanging bracket
Fix the hanging bracket (see page 12 No. 3) to the wall using suitable plastic plugs and M8 or M10 screws (not
supplied). Decide the position of the bottom of the boiler, giving due consideration to the recommended minimum
clearance and then drill holes to accept the boiler mounting plate.
Screw points should to be drilled 610mm
above the bottom of the boiler casing
Important Note: If the boiler is to be fitted in
a timber framed building ensure that the
bracket is secured to a substantial part of
the timber frame capable of taking the
weight of the boiler.
4.3.3 Recommendations for handling
Clear the route before attempting the lift.
Ensure safe lifting techniques are used – keep
back straight – bend using legs. Keep load as
close to body as possible. Do not twist –
reposition feet instead. If 2 persons performing
lift, ensure coordinated movements during lift.
Avoid upper body/top heavy bending - do not
lean forward/sideways. Oso recommend
wearing suitable cut resistant gloves with good
grip to protect against sharp edges and ensure
good grip. Always use assistance if required.

4.4 Plumbing & Heating installation & commissioning
4.4.1 Installation
To avoid draining the entire primary system during boiler maintenance it is recommended that isolation valves are
fitted to the flow and return pipes immediately below the boiler.
Connect the primary flow and return pipes for the central heating system to the labelled connections on the boiler.
Connect the mains water supply via a filling loop to the charge and discharge valve on the boiler incorporating a
stop valve and double check valve which must be left disconnected after commissioning.
Drain taps must be located in accessible positions which permit the draining of the whole system including the
primary and the secondary (dhw) system.
Any water loss from the system should be replaced from the filling loop connection.
When draining the boiler allow air in using the boiler venting valve. Do not drain the boiler by opening the
pressure relief valve.
All capillary joints in all DHW pipework must be made with lead free solder.
The Plus - E is a self contained system boiler that manages heating flow to the radiators and or under floor
heating system. Product diagram on page 4 display the expansion vessel and pumps.
Plus - E can also be used on an open vented central heating system.
Wherever possible all pipe work should be insulated to help prevent heat loss and possible freezing, particularly
where pipes are run through roof spaces and ventilated under-floor spaces.
4.4.2 Ancillary components.
If the capacity of the in built expansion vessel on Plus - E is not sufficient for the heating system (indicated by
pressure increase of 0.6bar when system is heated), an additional expansion vessel can be installed external to
the boiler. This should be fitted to the return pipe as close as possible to the boiler.
To comply with Part L of building regulations, a room thermostat must be fitted with the boiler. This will work in
conjunction with the boiler software and outside temperature sensor to finely control the temperature in the
dwelling and minimize energy consumption. The room thermostat should not be sited in direct sunlight or close to
any heat emitter such as radiators. Thermostatic radiators valves may also be used, but should not be fitted in the
same room as the room thermostat.
After the central heating circuit has been installed open all service valves, flush pipes through and check for leaks
before commissioning and introduce the correct inhibitor for a central heating circuit in accordance with BS7593.
Commission the boiler slowly to allow air to escape through the automatic air vent. Remove air from pump using
front screw on pumps.
Pressurize the system to 1.5 bar.
Where the boiler is being retro-fitted to an existing installation, it is equally important to flush the system and
commission using inhibitor to BS7593.,
TERMO boilers are fitted with an automatic and manual air vent. The boilers are also equipped with an air-
indicator which detects the presence of air in the boiler. If air is detected and It exceeds the permitted level, air-
indicator switches off immersion heaters and circulation pump remains active, so that air is allowed to escape
easily. Once the air is dispelled the immersion heaters will be active.

4.5 Connection to the electrical mains supply
Before working with the appliance, turn off the power supply (MCB) and secure against restart.
This device must be earthed.
Check that the electrical supply to the building has sufficient current and voltage to supply the boiler and other
appliances to be used.
Miniature circuit breakers (MCB) must be fitted in the wiring prior to the boiler. For MCB ratings see table on page
7. Connect the boiler to the mains using a double pole linked switch with 3mm contact gap in both poles.
Measure exact voltage between L and N lines prior to connecting boiler, if it 10% higher than nominal voltage on
appliance, appliance itself can be damaged.
Central heating control equipment – please note that all heating control
equipment (programmer, timer, thermostats etc MUST be supplied with power
from the boiler connections plate – see section 4.6. DO NOT supply with power
directly from the mains supply.
In order to connect power supply cable power connection protection cover (1) must be removed by
unwinding two nuts M6 and pulling protection cover out. Power cable must be connected directly to
RCD, earth must be connected to separate terminal (3). After connecting power cable and control
units, protective cover (1) must be put in place and tightened.
For 240V power supply RCD switch in boiler
from 4,8 up to 14,4 kW is 2-polle
Power supply connection RCCB (RCD) connection close-up
Note:Power cables must be connected from bottom side of boiler with the use of provided
plastic inducer for electric cable.
Ensure that the wires are securely fixed.
The appliance must be connected to mains electricity and tested according to current IEE regulations. An NICEIC
inspection and completion certificate must be issued.
All exposed pipework must be earthed according to current IEE regulations

Switched live from room thermostat and water heater thermostat must be connected to 4 CH ON.
4.6.2. Fit external temperature sensor
The external temperature sensor (delivered with boiler) must be fitted in a permanently shaded area to prevent
sudden temperature changes through exposure to direct sunlight. When fitting the sensor please observe arrow
marking top position (can be seen when protective cover is removed). The sensor is an integral part of the
temperature compensation principle and must be fitted as the boiler cannot operate correctly without it.
Use twin core cable diameter 0,6mm2 to 1,5 mm2, to connect external temperature sensor,
The boiler is supplied with a factory mounted resistor connected to the outside temperature sensor port that
simulates the outside temperature at -13ºC for testing purposes only. After installation and initial testing, the

5.3. Activating system and programming central heating
Off mode - The boiler is connected to the electrical supply but the RCD switch (page 12) is off
Standby mode – the RCD switch is on but the central heating on/off and dhw switches on control panel are off
On mode – RCD switch, dhw and central heating switch are all on
Switch to on mode - Test the RCD switch by pressing T button on it. Reset the RCD switch
Operations with Honeywell or Danfoss control units:
With central heating programmer (Honeywell ST6400, Danfoss TP-9 7-day programmer or similar) it is possible to
program separate periods of central heating from periods for domestic water heating.
Switches 7 and 9 on electronic control panel have a different function when 7-day control unit for central heating
and sanitary water preparing is installed. In this case position ‘’0’’ is AUTO (operations as controlled by control
unit Honeywell/Danfoss) and position ‘’1’’ is MANUAL (operations are controlled by boiler’s control panel).
When sanitary water and apartment temperature rises to desired level, boiler automatically goes to standby
position (everything is switched of except standby led diode).
Factory defined curves

The company reserve the right to alter size, shape and specification without prior notice
TMS-UT-0804-Z01-4 page 14
5.3.1 Heating curves explained.
Heating curves take information from the outside temperature sensor and decides on the required primary
temperature in the heating system to maintain the desired internal temperature based on the insulation properties
of the building.
• The colder it is outside, the higher the temperature needed in the heating system.
• Poorly insulated (older) properties require more heat, hence a higher heating curve is selected.
Heating curves save energy. A correctly set curve will optimize savings. A curve set too low will result in a house
that feels cooler than desired. A curve set too high will not optimize savings.
Termo E boilers are supplied with a full range of curves to choose from.
The choice of a heating curve is dependent on the insulation levels in the building. Heating curves can be altered
at any time by the householder, but once correctly set, should never require adjustment. The best guide to
insulation levels is the age of the building, as insulation levels have steadily improved over time. The factory set
heating curve is for buildings built to 2000 building regulations and UK heating installation common practice.
The table below shows the suggested heating curves for properties of differing ages. If extra insulation has been
retro-fitted to a building, a lower heating curve will be appropriate.
5.3.2 To set correct curve
Turn central heating on (key 7).
Press key 6 UP and hold for five seconds
to enter curve selection menu. The set
curve blinks in the display. Press key 6 up
or down to alter curve selection in steps of
0,1, see the diagram on the front plate. If
there is no pressure on the key for more
than 5 seconds the curve displayed is
saved.
Construction date Radiator curve under floor curve
Pre 1970 2.0 0.9
1971 – 1990 1.8 0.8
1991 – 1999 1.6 0.7
2000 – 2005 1.5 0.6
2006 1.2 0.5
Factory default 1.5(mod) 0.6(mod)
Factory default curves have been modified specifically for UK heating design standard practice. If curve is altered
and default curve is then subsequently required, a factory reset is required. See instructions page 25.
5.3.3 Setting internal temperature. Heating curves are factory set to achieve a 22°C room temperature.
Should the temperature required differ from this, the primary temperature should be raised or lowered (offset) 3°C
for every 1°C higher or lower required as room temperature. e.g. if 20°C room temperature is required, the
primary temperature should be lowered by 6°C.
Offsetting the heating curve will change the temperature of the water in the boiler without changing the shape of
the curve. See diagram above.
To offset the curve. Press key (6) down and hold for 5 seconds to enter offset curve selection menu
The set offset in ˚C blinks in the display. Press key 6 up or down to change offset in steps of 1˚C. If there is no
pressure on the key for more than 5s shown value of offset in ˚C is saved.
Factory setting is 0˚C. Offset range is from –9 to +20˚C.
Please note that Thermal (heating) processes are slow, and the impact of alterations will not be felt immediately.
Oso recommend that adjustments are given at least 24 hours to take effect.
It is also recommended to make a log of all adjustments made and their result. This will assist in making accurate
alterations in the future.

5.3.4 Programmable room thermostats & setting variable internal temperatures.
Central heating is controlled by the heating curve programmed into the Termo E boiler and fine tuned by a room
thermostat.
With modern central heating controls such as a programmable room thermostat it is possible to set different room
temperatures at different times of the day. e.g. to have a lower temperature set during the night. If this system is
used the heating curve selection is unchanged and the offset of the heating curve should be set to the highest
room temperature required during the day. (See paragraph above). The programmable room thermostat is then
set according to the manufacturers instructions to set lower temperatures when required.
When setting variable temperatures please be aware that the heating system will take some time to heat up from cold and
similarly will remain hot for some time after the temperatures are reduced or the system is switched off. To optimize comfort
levels and minimize energy consumption it is suggested to activate the boiler 30 minutes before the set temperature in heating
system is required and to reduce temperature or switch off 30 minutes before the lower temperature is desired.
5.5 Protection from freezing
To protect the entire central heating system from freezing (if a building is to be left empty for an extended period
of time during cold weather), set the boiler to standby mode. The room thermostat or central heating programmer
must be set to freezing protection mode (usually 5 to 7˚C, depending from room thermostat manufacturer), this
will allow pump to circulate heated medium through central heating system.
6. Recommended annual checks (all boilers)
The safety valve should be checked annually, preferably before the heating season to ensure correct operation
and avoid accumulation of lime scale. It is not recommended to annually drain the system to protect the system
from freezing as refilling with fresh water will increase the risk of limescale attack
We recommend inspection of the boiler once a year by an authorized service engineer. This service is not
included in the guarantee. During the inspection all electric and water connections should be tightened, the
system should be vented and – if necessary – filled up, valves and general functionality of the device and safety
valves should be checked.
When cleaning the product do not use an aggressive liquid as e.g. gasoline, kerosene or solvent. For the external
shell and decorative cover, liquid for cleaning plastics or dish washing media may be used. Control panel should
be cleaned with dry or moist cloth (not wet).
