4.3.1 Combustion Air from Room

In the United States, the most common requirements specify that the space shall communicate with the outdoors in accordance with method 1 or 2, which follow.

Where ducts are used, they shall be of the same crosssectional area as the free area of the openings to which they connect.

Method 1:

Two permanent openings, one commencing within 12” (300mm) of the top and one commencing within 12” (300mm) of the bottom, of the enclosure shall be provided. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors. When directly communicating with the outdoors, or when communicating to the outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4000 Btu/hr (550 square mm/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. When communicating to the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of not less than 1 square inch per 2000 Btu/hr (1100 square mm/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.

Method 2:

One permanent opening, commencing within 12” (300mm) of the top of the enclosure, shall be permitted. The opening shall directly communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or spaces that directly communicate with the outdoors and shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 3000

Btu/hr (734 square mm/kW) of the total input rating of all equipment located in the enclosure. This opening must not be less than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors in the confined space.

Other methods of introducing combustion and ventilation air are acceptable, providing they conform to the requirements in the applicable codes listed above.

In Canada, consult local building and safety codes or, in absence of such requirements, follow CAN/CGA B149.1

4.3.2 Ducted Combustion Air

The combustion air can be taken through the wall, or through the roof. When taken from the wall, it must be taken from out-of-doors by means of the LAARS horizontal wall terminal. When taken from the roof, a field-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must be used to prevent entry of rain water.

Use ABS, PVC, CPVC, polypropylene, or galvanized pipe for the combustion air intake. Route the intake to the boiler as directly as possible. Seal all joints.

Provide adequate hangers. The unit must not support the weight of the combustion air intake pipe. Maximum linear pipe length allowed is shown in Table 6 . Subtract

5 allowable linear ft. (1.5m) for every elbow used.

The connection for the intake air pipe is at the top of the unit.

NOTICE

The instructions for the installation of the venting system shall specify that the horizontal portions of the venting system shall be supported to prevent sagging; the methods of and intervals for support shall be specified. These instructions shall also specify that the venting system:

Category I, II and IV boilers must be installed so that horizontal sections have a slope of at least ¼ inch per foot (21 mm/m) to prevent accumulation of condensate; and

For Category II and IV boilers, where necessary, have means provided for drainage of condensate.

CAUTION

The Mascot FT is standard as a Natural Gas Boiler and must be converted if propane is the desired gas, unless specifically manufactured for propane.

Adequate drainage

• The appliance should be installed not to damage the adjacent area. If such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not block combustion air flow.

Connecting the Water Supply

• To conserve water and energy, insulate all water piping—especially the hot and recirculation water lines. Never cover the drain or pressure relief valve.

Having a backflow preventer in the cold water supply line will prevent thermal expansion backflow. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector for information about how to control this situation.

If overheating occurs or the gas supply fails to shut off, turn off the manual gas valve.

This installation must conform with below section

• “Air for Combustion and Ventilation” of the

The supply line must be sized for the maximum output of the combination boiler model being installed. If there are additional gas appliances from the main supply line, you must measure sizes of the supply line according to the

COMBINED total maximum BTUH draw for the appliances as if they were all operating at the same time.

Measure the length of the gas supply line from the gas meter to the Combination boiler.

Use the tables in this manual or refer to the gas line manufacturers sizing information to determine the correct supply pipe size.

The gas shut-off valve in the gas supply line should be installed close to the unit.

To facilitate any future maintenance, it is also recommended that an approved gas union fitting be installed in the supply line between the shut-off valve and the 1/2˝ female NPT connection on the

Combination boiler.

1) Install an approved gas line pipe to gas line connection under the Combination boiler.

Include manual shut off valve and gas union connection, as shown.

2) Test gas pressure to make sure it meets the minimum standards and does not exceed the maximum standards for the combination boiler.

3) Leak test the gas line pipe before placing the unit in operation. Use approved leak detector liquid solutions only to check for leaks.

Do Not Operate the combination boiler until all connections have been completed, checked for leaks, and the heat exchanger is filled with water.

4.15 Pressure Relief Valve

External pressure relief valves must be installed.

Observe the following. Failure to comply with the guidelines on installing the pressure relief valve and discharge piping can result in personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

WARNING

Do not operate this appliance before the pressure relief valve supplied is installed with sufficient relieving capacity in accordance with the ASME Rating Plate on the boiler.

This hot water boiler is provided with 30 psi safety relief valve that complies with the ANSI/ASME Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV (“Heating Boilers).

(Model : CASE ACME F-82)

This safety relief valve (30 psi) is shipped loose for field installation.

An approved ASME HV Pressure Relief Valve must be installed on the DHW supply line as close to the unit as possible. Valve size 3/4”, maximum 150 psi. Not included with boiler.

For safety, the relief valve(s) must be installed into it’s designed location and not be removed or plugged.

Failure to comply with the guidelines on installing the pressure relief valves and discharge piping can result in personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Direct the discharge piping of the pressure relief valve so that hot water will not splash on anyone or any nearby equipment. Attach the discharge line to the pressure relief valve and run the end of the line within

6-12″ (150-300mm) of the floor.

WARNING

DO NOT install a CH pipe line relief valve with a pressure higher than 30psi and DHW pipe line relief valve with a pressure higher than 150psi. This is the maximum allowable relief valve setting for the combination boiler.

Test the operation of the valve after filling and pressurizing system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, replace it with a new relief valve. Ensure that the discharge capacity of the pressure relief valve is equal to or greater than the maximum pressure rating of the combination boiler.

LAARS Heating Systems

Ensure that the maximum BTU/H rating on the pressure relief valve is equal to or greater than the maximum input BTU/H rating of the combination boiler.

Pressure Relief Valve must be installed on the CH supply line & DHW outlet line as close to the unit as possible. (CH supply line: maximum 30psi, DHW outlet line : maximum 150psi). No other valves should be placed between the pressure relief valve and the appliance.

This appliance has a high-temperature shut off switch built in as a standard safety feature .Therefore a

“pressure only” relief valve is required.

4.16 Disposal of Condensate

High efficiency gas condensing Boilers create condensation when operating. Condensation has acidic (pH) of approximately 4-5.

Condensate must be drained in accordance with all local regulations. Follow your local code with regards to the disposal of condensation.

One of 4 disposal methods must be followed

1. to floor drain

2. to neutralizer (optional kit)

3. to laundry tub

4. to condensate pump (field supplied)

If a neutralizer is installed, periodic replacement of the lime stone (or neutralizing agent) will be required. The rate of depletion of the lime stone varies upon usage of the boiler. During the first year of operation, please check the neutralizer every few months for depletion.

Apply only corrosion-resistant materials for the condensate drain lines such as 1/2˝ PVC, CPVC,

Polypropylene pipe or included plastic hose.

NOTICE

For Category II and IV boilers, be installed so as to prevent accumulation of condensate; and

For Category II and IV boilers, where necessary, have means provided for drainage of condensate.

AVIS

les chaudières de catégories II et IV doivent être installées de façon à empêcher l'accumulation de condensat; et si nécessaire, les chaudières de catégories II et IV doivent être pourvues de dispositifs d'évacuation du condensat.

CAUTION

Condensate is mildly acidic (pH=5), and may harm some floor drains and/or pipes, particularly those that are metal. Ensure that the drain, drainpipe, and anything that will come in contact with the condensate can withstand the acidity, or neutralize the condensate before disposal.

Damage caused by failure to install a neutralizer kit or to adequately treat condensate will not be the manufacturer’s responsibility.

Repeat steps 11 thru 17 at MAX FIRE by changing DIP switches 6 and 7. BUT Do NOT ADJUST MAX FIRE.

If the MAX FIRE is too Low, then go back to MIN FIRE and adjust MIN FIRE to come up. Be sure to shut boiler OFF before moving DIP switches.

If the MAX FIRE is too High, then go back to MIN FIRE and adjust MIN FIRE to come down. Repeat this process between the MIN FIRE settings and MAX FIRE settings ( without adjusting at MAX FIRE) until both MAX and MIN are within allowable CO2 as per Table C.

SECTION 5. Control Display and Operation

Outdoor Reset varies the control setpoint based on the outdoor temperature. The reset function works as shown in Figure ‘CH Outdoor Reset’. When the outdoor air temperature reaches 6:OH “high outdoor temperature setpoint”, the control point setting is adjusted to 17:cL “low boiler temperature setpoint”.

When the outdoor air temperature reaches 7:OL “low outdoor temperature setpoint” the control setpoint is adjusted to 16:cH “high boiler temperature”.

Default outdoor reset setpoint is 100°F (38°C)

The Outdoor Temperature Mode Icon on the display will flash if an Outdoor Sensor or 0-10 Volt is not connected to the appliance.

See Figure 43 to set your Outdoor Reset Curve.

To check the CH Target Temperature while using

LAARS Heating Systems

5.9 Outdoor Reset Adjustment

Connect to terminal strip as outlined 4.17 Electrical Connections.

NOTE: 0 - 10VDC terminals may not be used for both outdoor reset and 0 - 10VDC temp

setpoint simultaneously.

5.10 External Set Point Temperature Control

A signal from a building management system may be connected to the appliance to enable remote control. This signal should be a 0-10 volt DC signal. When this input is enabled, a building control system can be used to control the set point temperature of the appliance.

The control interprets the 0-10 volt signal as follows; when the signal is between 0 and 1.5 volts, the appliance will be in standby mode, not firing.

When the signal rises above 1.5 volts, the appliance will ignite. As the signal continues to rise towards its maximum of 10 volts, the appliance will increase in set point temperature. Adjust 16:cH and 17:cL to set MIN and MAX boiler water temperatures respectively.

Connect a building management system or other auxiliary control signal to the terminals marked for this purpose on the appliance terminal block (shown in Piping Diagrams, this manual). Caution should be used to ensure that the 0-10 VOLT + connection does not become connected to ground.

Connect to terminal strip as outlined 4.17 Electrical Connections.

NOTE: 0 - 10VDC terminals may not be used for both outdoor reset and 0 - 10VDC temp

setpoint simultaneously.
