4 - FUNCTION OVERVIEW
4.1 - Intended use and functions of the boiler
This gas-fired condensing boiler, is designed to be used for central heating and producing domestic hot water.
The maximum output heat is always guaranteed for the production of domestic hot water since it is given priority over space heating demands.
Follow the specific procedure in section
13.7 for the adjustment of the domestic hot water temperature.
This boiler can be installed with a Direct
Venting system or with a one pipe vent system and getting combustion air from room.
The quality of the system water is very important. Poor water quality can damage heating systems due to scale formation and corrosion.
This boiler can be connected to an indirect storage tank for the production of domestic hot water (Section 9).
Depending on the model choosen, the following system types can be created:
160-C. Using this boiler model, you can create a system for the production of instantaneous domestic hot water and a heating system with heating elements functioning at temperatures ranging between 68°F (20°C) and 176°F (80°C).
The boiler can also function directly with a radiant floor panel, see section 7.2.
When connecting the boiler to the heating system the installer must consider the head loss of the heating system to verify that the boiler pump is adequate. Pump curve is shown in
Figure 7-3. The same verification must be done for the domestic installation, see Figure 7-5.
160-B. Using this boiler model, you can create a system with heating elements functioning at temperatures ranging between 68°F (20°C) and 176°F (80°C) can be configured.
The boiler can also function directly with a radiant floor panel, see section 7.2.
The 160-B model is not equipped with the components required for the production of domestic hot water. Also not included is the expansion tank and circulator pump, see Figure 4.2.
To connect the boiler to the heating system, the installer must consider the loss of pressure generated by the boiler
(see Figure 7-4), and choose a pump capable of overcoming the head loss of both the boiler and the heating system.
160-C and 160-B models can be connected to a room thermostat,
Section 8.1.3.
An outdoor air temperature sensor can also be connected to the boiler for an outdoor reset supply temperature control for maximum fuel efficiency and comfort (see Section 8.1.4). In this configuration the room thermostat will compensate by adjusting the room temperature. The room temperature compensation can be of an ON /
OFF type or two-stage. For further information on the outdoor-air reset, refer to Section 13.10.
The boiler must be connected to a heating system and a domestic hot water supply with compatible specifications, performance and power rating.
4.2 - Efficiency up to
98%
When the outdoor reset is activated
(an outside sensor is connected), this boiler is designed to always work at the maximum efficiency (see Section
13.10). It will automatically change the supply temperature in relation with the outdoor temperature (Outdoor reset).
The graph in Figure 4-3 shows an example on how it can work.
This graph represents an installation where the supply and return temperatures are 139°F and 115°F respectively , and the outside temperature is 23°F. The outdoor reset drives the boiler, to progressively reduce the supply temperature and thereby optimize the efficiency. It changes from 87% when outside is
-10°F, to 94.8% when outside is 23°F and up to 98% when the outside temperature rises up to 67°F.

All heating system piping must be installed in accordance with the ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section IV. All applicable local codes and ordinances must also be followed.
CAUTION!!!
This boiler must have adequate water flowing of 5 GPM through it whenever the burner is on. Failure to do this will damage the unit and void the warranty!
CAUTION!!!
Before connecting the boiler to the heating system the heating system must be thoroughly flushed to remove sediment, flux, filings and other foreign matter. An approved inhibitor should be added to the heating system water to prevent limestone and magnetite deposits from forming and to protect the boiler from galvanic corrosion.
CAUTION!!!
Any dirt or foreign matter which is present in the heating circuit , might accumulate inside the secondary domestic heat exchanger, limiting the heat exchange and reducing the production of domestic hot water
CAUTION!!!
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by incorrect use of additives in the heating system.
CAUTION!!!
This boiler is equipped with an ASME safety relief valve set at 30 psi (2 bar). The heating system must be designed so that no piping or radiation elements are higher than 65 ft (20 m) or else the hydraulic head of the system will cause the relief valve to open.
CAUTION!!!
Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life. Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger reduces heat transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat exchanger, and causes failure. Addition of oxygen carried in by makeup water can cause internal corrosion in system components. Leaks in boiler or piping must be repaired at once to prevent makeup water entering the boiler.
CAUTION!!!
This boiler can supply heating water at a temperature up to 190°F (88°C). If the heating system is built with materials not able to resist to this temperature, you must to install a device that shut-off the boiler before the material’s limit temperature.

7.2.3 - Expansion Tank and Makeup Water
Boiler model 160-C is factory equipped with its expansion tank with
2 gals volume. Ensure this volume is sufficient for the heating system you are designing. If not, install an additional external expansion tank.
For boiler model 160-B, ensure the expansion tank is properly sized for the boiler volume (1,5 gallons
[6 litres]) and the system volume, temperature and pressure.
To connect a system pump on the secondary looping see Figure 7-6 and electrically connect the pump follow
Figure 8-2
160-B boiler is not fitted with an internal pump. The installer needs to install an external heating pump as illustrated in Figure 7-7. To size the pump, together the system head loss, consider also the graph in Figure
7-4. The minimum allowable flow rate through the boiler is 5 gpm (1,135 l/h).
CAUTION!!!
Undersized expansion tanks will cause system water to be lost through the pressure relief valve and cause additional makeup water to be added to the system. Eventual boiler heat exchanger failure can result due to this excessive makeup water addition, compromising the functionality of the unit and void its warranty.
For model 160-B (and for 160-C if needed), the expansion tank must be located as shown in Figures
7-6 and 7-7 when using a primary/ secondary piping arrangement or as per recognized design methods. Refer to the expansion tank manufacturer instructions for additional installation details.

WARNING!!!
The condensate trap must be connected to the boiler per the following instructions or combustion gases will enter the room. This can result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can cause severe personal injury or death!
This boiler produces water as a byproduct of combustion. The boiler is equipped with a condensate trap, Figure 3-1, item “46”, for the evacuation of condensate and to prevent the leakage of combustion products. The condensate trap drains through pipe shown in Figure 7-2 item “C”. The condensation disposal system must:
be connected by means of an appropriate trap capable of preventing the pressurization of the condensate system and the return of sewer gas (see figure 7-8);
slope condensate tubing down and away from the boiler into a drain or condensate neutralizing filter.
Condensate from the boiler will be slightly acidic (around pH 4). Install a neutralizing filter if required by local codes.
be installed in such a way so as to avoid the freezing of the liquid;
never discharge into gutters or rain collectors;
be properly pitched towards the point of discharge avoiding high points, which could place the condensate system under pressure.
CAUTION!!!
The condensate drainage system is designed to empty all the condensate produced by one boiler only. Each boiler must be equipped with its own condensate drainage system or the drainage system may malfunction.
A condensate removal pump is required if the boiler is below the drain. When installing a condensate pump, select one approved for use with condensing boilers and furnaces.
The pump should have an overflow switch to prevent property damage from condensate spillage.

12.10 - Adjusting the heating capacity
This boiler has been engineered with an “intelligent” micro-processor control that will adjust the heating output to match the system demand.
To maximize the effectiveness of the system, the parameters found in the “Installer’s menu”, in
Section 13.17, can be adjusted set the maximum heating output to the effective maximum load necessary for the system. The parameter can be adjusted from 100 (factory set value), to 1. The correspondence between value and heating output is given by table in Figure 12-1.

12.11 - Domestic hot water flow rate adjustment (160-C model only)
The volume of domestic hot water that the boiler can produce, depends on the flow rate of the domestic water system. If the flow rate is too high, the water will move through the heat exchanger without being adequately heated. It is therefore advisable to carry out the following adjustments:
1. switch the on/off power switch, item
“12” in figure 13-1, to “on”;
2. adjust control “11” as shown in
Figure 13-1, to 130 °F (50 °C);
3. fully open a hot water faucet. If a mixing type faucet with single lever is opened, the position must be fully to HOT;
4. set the domestic hot water mixing valve (field installed), to its maximum value);
5. wait 5 minutes for the temperature to stabilize;
6. if the water temperature is too low, reduce the water flow using a flow restrictor (Field installed) until reaching the desired temperature
(turn the flow restrictor in small increments and wait for the temperature to stabilize to prevent overshooting the desired value).
NOTE: Water flow should generally be regulated according to the values given in Section 15, under the heading “instantaneous d.h.w. production [rise 75 °F (42 °C)]”.

13.2 - Overview
The boiler is pre-set with standard parameters. However, it is possible to make a number of changes or consult the parameters by means of using the
“Users’ Menu” (see Section 13.16).
During functioning display “1” of
Figure 13-1, displays the status of the boiler and display “2” (see Figure 13-

The various operating statuses are shown in Section 13.18.
Within the “Users’ Menu” (see Section
13.16) it is possible to check the last lock-out or error which have occurred.
In addition to the operating modes, the instrument panel provides important information on the current functioning of the boiler, via the indicators “3”, “4”, “5” and “6” of Figure

6. turn knob “7” of Figure 13-1 until it reaches the heating temperature desired. Turn knob “11” of Figure
13-1 until it reaches the domestic water temperature desired.
The flame control appliance will startup the burner.
If the burner fails to ignite within 15 seconds, the boiler will automatically attempt ignition another two times, after which if it fails to start-up, it will shut down and the display will show
01.
Press the button in order to re-set normal operating conditions.
The boiler will automatically attempt another start-up.
CAUTION!!!
If the appliance frequently shuts down, contact a qualified technician to restore normal running conditions.
Now the boiler will continue to operate in relation to the service requested and will indicate the following on display “1”:
- if a domestic water request is active (Load of an indirect water heater);
- if a heating request is active;
- if there is no domestic water or heating request active.
13.5 - Summer mode
To disable the heating functions for a prolonged period, leaving only the domestic hot water function, switch OFF the heating temperature, until the wording OFF appears, by turning knob “7” of Figure 13-1 to the minimum.
13.6 - Winter mode
In Winter mode, by means of the pump, the boiler sends the water to the system at the temperature set using knob “7” of Figure 13-1.
When the temperature inside the boiler reaches the temperature set, the burner starts to modulate the flame so as to reduce the output to a minimum. If the temperature rises further, the burner shuts down.
Simultaneously, the pump which sends the water to the system is switched on and off by the room thermostat. This can be noted, because indicator “6” of Figure 13-1 switches on and off in correspondence with the on and off of the pump.
At first the pump may make a noise.
This is due to the presence of residual air in the hydraulic system which will soon disappear on its own.
We recommend keeping the temperature set using knob “7” at the point shown by the symbols on the panel for a rational use of the boiler.
If it is a particularly cold Winter and it is difficult to maintain the desired room temperature, turn knob “7” to gradually higher values.
CAUTION!!!
do not demandate the antifreeze protection of your house to the boiler.
Because the boiler’s function depends from the electrical supply and from the gas supply and because a trouble can stops the boiler, if you live your house, it is mandatory install a safety device that alarm the user in a case the house will reach a temperature near 50°F (10°C).

13.8 - Heating system temperature adjustment
The boiler provides hot water to the heating system at the temperature set by adjusting knob “7” as shown in Figure 13-1. The room thermostat turns the boiler’s circulator pump on in order to satisfy the heat demand of the rooms controlled by the thermostat.
To maximize the boilers’ performance, temperature knob “7”, should be set at a value that is just sufficient to maintain the desired temperature of the rooms. As the weather gets colder, progressively increase the water temperature by adjusting knob “7”. When the weather gets milder turn the water temperature down. This extremely simple method is suitable for the following types of systems:
A - small systems with radiators where the thermostat is installed in a room whose temperature is characteristic of all the other rooms;
B - large systems with radiators, where each zone is controlled by its own room thermostat. Where zone valves are used the boiler pump is shutdown only when all the room thermostats are satisfied.
C - large systems with low temperature radiant panels , where each zone is controlled by its own room thermostat.
Where zone valves are used the boiler pump is shutdown only when all the room thermostats are satisfied.

While in the “Installers’ Menu”, set the
parameter to 01. In this mode the heating supply water temperature, calculated temperature in Figures 13-2 and 13-3, will be adjusted automatically based on the input from the outdoor temperature sensor. The relationship between the outdoor temperature and the supply water temperature, corresponds with the graphs shown in Figures 13-2 and 13-3. In order to change the relationship between the supply water temperature and the outdoor temperature, all the parameters listed in the sections below must be set.
13.10.1 - Outdoor reset applications
Outdoor reset is a sophisticated way to maximize comfort and boiler efficiency.
It is suitable for the following system types:
A - small systems, with radiators where the thermostat is installed in a room whose temperature is characteristic of all the other rooms. The room thermostat is used to turn the boiler on and off.
B - Iarge systems, with radiators, where each zone is controlled by its own room thermostat. Where zone valves are used the boiler pump is shutdown only when all the room thermostats are satisfied (see to an appropriate electrical system).
C - small systems, with low temperature radiant panels where the thermostat is installed in a room whose temperature is characteristic of all the other rooms. The room thermostat is used to turn the boiler on and off. In this type of system it is necessary to consider that the radiant panel systems sometimes have long lag times.
D - Iarge systems with low temperature radiant where each zone is controlled by its own room thermostat. Where zone valves are used the boiler pump is shutdown only when all the room thermostats are satisfied.
13.10.2 - Outdoor reset adjustment precautions
When making adjustments to change the supply temperature, it is advisable to first set the suggested default values for the desired curves shown in figures
13-2 and 13-3. If these default values do not produce a satisfactory result, then proceed to make the appropriate adjustments bearing in mind that:
A - each parameter must be very gradually;
B - after each parameter change, wait at least 24 hours in order to see the result;
C - the closer the adjustment curve matches the actual load of the building, the greater the comfort and the energy savings will be;
D - knob “7” in Figure 13-1 can be used to make the small line shifts,
“b”, shown in Figure 13-3. These shifts will change the supply water temperature up to 18 °F (10 °C).

The system will function exactly as described in the previous “Outdoor reset adjustment” sections except that now the boiler pump will stay on permanently. The opening of the room thermostat contacts will translate into a parallel downward movement of the curve in Figures 13-2 and 13-3.
The value by which the curve moves downwards can be adjusted by the
parameter present in the
“Installers’ Menu”, see section 13.17.
The parameter can range from 1 °F (1 °C) to 36 °F, (20°C). The suggested values for this parameter are:
- 18 °F (10°C) for high temperature radiator systems;
- 6 °F (3°C) for low temperature radiant panel systems
Values of this parameter that are too high may translate into room temperature instability. Values that are too low may make the action of the room thermostat ineffective.
Climatic adjustment with room compensation can be used in all the systems described in Section 13.10.1.
The advantage being that the constant running of the pump will stabilize and standardize the room temperatures.
This is especially true when some loops in the heating system have considerably greater volume than others.

13.12 - Delays, alarms and protective actions
To protect the life of the appliance, improve comfort, and maximize energy savings, the following timings have been incorporated into the control logic: a - Pump delay: each time the room thermostat is satisfied, the circulator pump continues to run for 1 minute; b - DHW delay: each time the domestic hot water demand is satisfied, a 2 minutes delay must pass before the heating service is allowed to restart; c - Protection against legionnaires bacteria: if the boiler is connected to a DHW storage tank the boiler will increase the tank temperature to 140 °F (60 °C) every seven days, prevent the formation of legionnaires bacteria. This function is displayed by .
d - DHW alarm: if the call for domestic hot water lasts for longer than two hours, an 01 alarm is generated.
This function is only for boilers set up to provide instantaneous DHW.
e - Time delay in restarting the burner: in its normal functioning state, except when providing domestic water, every time the burner stops, there is a delay time of 3 minutes before the boiler restarts again.
13.13 - Circulator pump and three way valve protection
During the summer months, the circulator is run once a day for around
15 seconds to prevent it from seizing.
At the same time, the three way valve
(if present) is activated for the same reason.
13.14 - Boiler’s
Freeze protection
CAUTION!!!
For the freeze protection function to work, the boiler must remain connected to the electrical and gas supplies with knobs “7” and
“11” in Figure 13-1, in the OFF position.
CAUTION!!!
This freeze protection function is conceived to protect the boiler only, not the heating system.
CAUTION!!!
Because the boiler’s freeze protection function depends from the electrical supply and from the gas supply, it is mandatory install a safety device that alarm the user in a case the boiler room will reach a temperature near 35°F (2°C)
Once the boiler has reached a temperature of 45 °F (7 °C), the heating pump will automatically comes on. If the temperature falls below 35 °F (2 °C), the burner will light to prevent the boiler from freezing.
If the boiler will not be used for long time it should be drained per Sections
14.10 and 14.11.
