FAQs

What is the power output range for boilers compatible with this kit?

This kit is designed for Grant Vortex Pro outdoor boilers with a capacity of 15-26kW.

Can I use any programmer with this kit?

No, you must use either the specific Grant plug-in EP Kit or the Grant wireless RFT Kit programmer with this outdoor sealed system kit.

Where can I install the wireless RFT programmer?

The wireless RFT receiver can be located within the knockout on the boiler fascia, and the programmer unit can be mounted conveniently inside your home, typically in a living area, ensuring it is within wireless range of the receiver.

Is professional installation required?

Professional installation by a qualified heating engineer is strongly recommended to ensure correct setup, system integration, and safe operation.

What is the difference between the EP Kit and the RFT Kit?

The EP Kit is a programmer that plugs directly into the boiler control panel. The RFT Kit uses a wireless receiver that can be fitted to the boiler and a separate wireless programmer unit that can be placed remotely within the home.

Does this kit include the boiler itself?

No, this is a kit for adding programmer options to an existing Grant Vortex Pro outdoor boiler with a 15-26kW capacity. The boiler unit is sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Boiler not responding to programmer commands

Check that the EP Kit or RFT receiver is correctly seated/connected within the boiler. For RFT systems, verify the wireless signal between the programmer and the receiver; check battery levels in the programmer and ensure it's within range.

Heating output is inconsistent

Ensure the boiler's capacity (15-26kW) matches the system's demand. Check that the programmer is set to the correct operating mode and schedule. Consult the main boiler manual for further heating system diagnostics.

Wireless programmer not communicating

Replace the batteries in the wireless programmer. Try re-pairing the programmer with the RFT receiver according to the RFT Kit installation manual. Ensure there are no significant obstructions or sources of wireless interference between the programmer and the receiver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is exclusively designed for Grant Vortex Pro outdoor boilers with a capacity ranging from 15kW to 26kW. Ensure your existing boiler model meets these specifications before attempting installation. Professional verification is recommended.

Setup: Installation involves fitting either the plug-in EP Kit directly into the boiler's control panel or connecting the receiver for the Grant wireless RFT Kit. The RFT receiver can be mounted within the knockout on the boiler fascia. For wireless setups, ensure the programmer unit is placed within the optimal range of the receiver. Professional installation by a qualified heating engineer is strongly advised to ensure correct wiring, system integration, and safe operation.

Care: The primary care requirement relates to the programmer and receiver. Keep the programmer unit clean and free from dust. For the RFT receiver, ensure the fascia knockout remains clear to prevent obstructions. Regular servicing of the main boiler unit, as recommended by Grant, will ensure the overall heating system, including this kit, functions efficiently and reliably.
