Do I re-enter installer settings?

Yes — the display holds the language and clock; installer parameters live on the main PCB and persist.

Is a firmware update needed?

Only if the OEM display carries a newer part suffix (e.g. -02). Older firmware can throw comms faults with newer main PCBs.

Only if the Ideal Independent 30 is in warranty — Ideal require log of any part swap for labour claims.

Handle by the edges — ESD damages the driver IC before you even fit it.

Refill the Ideal Independent 30 to 1.2 bar cold. Bleed high-point radiators and the internal AAV.

Run a full flue-gas analysis after 15 minutes. Log the reading against the OEM commissioning envelope in the Benchmark book.
