Hot water service
Set the programmer to hot water constant, central heating off, and cylinder thermostat to maximum. Set boiler to the design flow temperature of 82°C.
Lamps 1 and 2 will illuminate and boiler and pump will start, except in gravity hot water systems, in which the pump will not start. The hot water valve will open.
Central heating service
Set programmer to hot water off, central heating constant and boiler as above. Where a heating motorized valve is fitted, it will open. Illumination of lamp 3 signifies that the boiler has stopped and after a time lamp 1 will go off, indicating pump stopped.
After testing, set the programmer and cylinder thermostat to the required settings.
Fault finding
When the ‘on’ lamp on the front of the BEM 4000 does not illuminate, check the power supply.There should be 240V across terminals 12 and 13. If this is OK, check the built-in fuse on the rear of the BEM 4000, and if blown, there is a spare attached to the rear of the unit. If this fuse is OK the fault is probably within the electronics, and the BEM 4000 plug-in front plate should be replaced.
Where a zone valve will not open, check that 240V exists at the valve leads. If OK change valve, if not check programmer and other wiring.
In the event of difficulties, the BEM 4000 can be overridden by inserting a link between terminals 14 and 15, ensuring that the power is turned off first.
