The CSD-1 ASME Code, Section CW-400 requires that hot water heating and supply boilers have a) a UL 353 temperature control device, b) at least one (1) temperature-actuated control to shut off the fuel supply when system water reaches a preset operating temperature, c) a high temperature limit control that prevents the water temperature from exceeding the maximum allowable temperature by causing a safety shutdown and lockout, and d) its own sensing element and operating switch.

The temperature control system integrated into the 926 control provided with this heating appliance complies with the requirements of CSD-1 Section CW-400 as a temperature operation control. The control monitors the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet sensor, which is affected by boiler water flow. If this temperature difference exceeds 55°F (typically because of low water flow or very low heat load), the control will reduce the maximum fan speed.

If the temperature difference exceeds 60°F, the control will effectively sense there is little or no water flow or heat load and shut the boiler down. The controller will restart automatically once the temperature difference has dropped below 55°F and the minimum off time (anti-cycle time) has expired. In addition, if the control senses that the outlet water temperature has reached 210°F, the boiler is put into a hard lockout and requires manual reset to restart.

B. How the Boiler Operates

Elite Premier VWH® condensing technology intelligently delivers large amounts of hot water while maximizing efficiency. Outlined below are the features of the system and how they operate:

Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger

The highly efficient stainless steel heat exchanger is designed to use the cold water return from the storage tank and extract the last bit of heat before it is exhausted.

Modulating Combustion System

The combustion system modulates the output of the burner during operation to match system demand and achieve the control set point while in operation. The set point can change by internal or external signals to enhance the overall performance of the system.

Control

The integrated control system monitors the system and regulates fan speed to control boiler output. This allows the boiler to deliver only the amount of heat energy required and nothing more.

The control can regulate the output of multiple boilers through its cascade system function. The cascade system is capable of connecting up to eight boilers together in such a way that they function as one boiler system. This allows for greater turn down ratios and provides systematic control of the multiple boilers in an installation to minimize downtime and maximize efficiency.

The cascade system works by establishing one boiler as the master and the other connected boilers as followers. The master boiler requires a sensor to provide feedback on set point temperature in order to adjust heating input from the connected boilers. Each cascaded boiler will have its own pump to provide maximum flow and control heat exchanger flow rate.

Text Display and Operational LED Light Indicators

The display allows the user to change system parameters and monitor system outputs.

Gas Valve

Senses suction from the blower, allowing gas to flow only if powered and combustion air is flowing.

All Metal Integrated Venturi

Controls air and gas flow into the burner.

Burner

The high grade stainless steel burner uses premixed air and gas to provide a wide range of firing rates.

Spark Ignition

The burner is ignited by applying high voltage through the system spark electrode. The spark from the electrode ignites mixed gas off of the burner.

Supply Water Temperature Sensor

This sensor monitors the boiler outlet water temperature

(System Supply). The control adjusts boiler firing rate so the supply temperature will match the boiler set point.

Return Water Temperature Sensor

This sensor monitors boiler return water temperature (System

Return).

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

7

Flue Sensor

Monitors flue temperature and adjusts firing rate.

Temperature and Pressure Gauge

Allows the user to monitor system temperature and pressure.

Electrical field connections with terminal strips

The electrical cover allows easy access to the clearly marked line voltage and low voltage terminal strips to facilitate wiring the boiler.

Condensate Collection System

This boiler is a high efficiency appliance and will produce condensate. The condensate collection system has a float which monitors condensate level and prevents condensate from backing up into the combustion system. Inside the collection system is a built in trap which seals the combustion system from the connected drain. This condensate should be neutralized to avoid damage to the drainage system or piping.

Flow Protection

The supplied flow switch is designed to protect the boiler during low flow conditions. The boiler control also monitors flow through the heat exchanger by monitoring the return and supply sensors and will shut down the burner before overheating occurs.

0-10 Volt Input

Allows the installer to connect a BMS (Building Management

System) to control the boiler.

Condensate Flue Check System

The check system prevents heat exchanger exhaust from backing up into the cabinet.

Pump Service Mode

Allows manual operation of pumps to commission system and check pump operation.

Part 3 - Prepare the Boiler

Remove all sides of the shipping crate to allow the boiler to be moved into its installation location. The boiler is also equipped with leveling feet that can be used to level the boiler properly on an uneven location surface. If surface flooring is rough, take care when moving the boiler into position, as catching the leveling feet could damage the boiler.

COLD WEATHER HANDLING

- If the boiler has been stored in a very cold location (BELOW 0 o

F) before installation, handle with care until the components come to room temperature. Failure to do so could result in damage to the boiler.

Carefully consider installation when determining boiler location.

Please read the entire manual before attempting installation.

Failure to properly take factors such as boiler venting, piping, condensate removal, and wiring into account before installation could result in wasted time, money, and possible property damage and personal injury.

A. Locating the Boiler

This boiler is certified for indoor use only. DO NOT INSTALL

OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by warranty. Failure to install the boiler indoors could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the heating system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that the installation location adheres to the information included in this manual. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. Failure of boiler or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.

This boiler must be installed upright in the vertical position as described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to install this boiler in any other orientation. Doing so will result in improper boiler operation and property damage, and could result in serious personal injury or death.

1. Installation Area (Mechanical Room) Operating Conditions

2. Check for nearby connections to:

• System water piping

• Venting connections

• Gas supply piping

• Electrical power

• Condensate drain

3. Check area around boiler. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.

Failure to keep the boiler area clear and free of combustible materials, liquids, and vapors can result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Do not mount the boiler to a hollow wall. Mount to the studs only.

Use extreme care not to drop the boiler or cause bodily injury while lifting or mounting the boiler onto the optional wall mount bracket.

Gas conversion should be performed BEFORE the boiler is installed. Carefully follow the gas conversion instructions when performing the conversion.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

B. Flooring

The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as the casing, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heat exchanger, are directly influenced by proximity to damp and salty marine environments. In such areas higher concentration levels of chlorides from sea spray coupled with relative humidity can lead to degradation of boiler components. In these environments, boilers must not be installed using direct vent systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such boilers must be installed using room air for combustion. Indoor air will have a much lower relative humidity, and hence potential corrosion will be minimized.

High heat sources (generating heat 100 o F / 37 o C or greater, such as boiler flue pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage plastic components of the boiler as well as plastic vent pipe materials. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is recommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high heat sources. Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as well as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations, and ordinances when installing this boiler and related components near high heat sources.

Locate the boiler where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage to surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. The boiler should be located near a floor drain or installed in a drain pan.

Leakage damages ARE NOT covered by warranty.

Failure of the boiler or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.

4. Gas control system components must be protected from dripping water during operation and service.

5. If the boiler is to replace an existing boiler, check for and correct any existing system problems, such as:

• System leaks

• Location that could cause the system and boiler to freeze and leak

• Incorrectly sized expansion tank

6. Clean and flush system when reinstalling a boiler.

NOTE:

When installing in a zero clearance location, it may not be possible to read or view some product labeling. It is recommended to make note of the boiler model and serial number.

Assure that the floor and structure of the installation location are sufficient to support the full installed weight of the boiler, including water content of the heat exchanger and related piping. Failure to ensure the floor and structure of the installation location are structurally sound before installation of the boiler can result in structural failure, substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

This boiler is approved for installation on combustible flooring, but must never be installed on carpeting. Installing this boiler on carpeting could result in fire, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

C. Leveling

In order for the condensate to properly flow out of the collection system, the area where you locate the boiler must be level. Location must also fully support the weight of the filled boiler.

NOTE: The venting options described here (and further detailed in the Venting section, this manual) are the lone venting options approved for this boiler. Failure to vent the boiler in accordance with the provided venting instructions will void the warranty.

Failure to vent the boiler properly will result in serious personal injury or death.

Figure 2 - Recommended Service Clearances

NOTE:

If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown in Figure 2 it might not be possible to service the boiler without removing it from the space.

NOTE:

A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable front clearance.

Minimum Clearances from Combustible Materials

• Hot water pipes - at least 1” from combustible materials

• Exhaust vent pipe - at least 1” from combustible materials

Do not attempt to vent this boiler by any means other than those described in this manual. Doing so will void the warranty and may result in severe personal injury or death.

Vents must be properly supported. Boiler exhaust and intake connections are not designed to carry heavy weight. Vent support brackets must be within 1’ of the boiler and the balance at 4’ intervals. Boiler must be readily accessible for visual inspection for first 3’ from the boiler. Failure to properly support vents could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

The exhaust discharged by this boiler may be very hot. Avoid touching or other direct contact with the exhaust gases of the vent termination assembly. Doing so could result in severe personal injury or death.

The space must be provided with combustion / ventilation air openings correctly sized for all other appliances located in the same space as the boiler. The boiler cover must be securely fastened to prevent the boiler from drawing air from the boiler room. This is particularly important if the boiler is in a room with other appliances. Failure to comply with the above warnings could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

All boilers eventually leak. It is recommended to install a catch pan beneath the boiler. This catch pan should be sized with a maximum depth of 2”, and a minimum diameter 2” greater than the diameter of the boiler. The catch pan should empty into an open drain line. This drain line should be 3/4”

ID minimum, piped to an open drain. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage. Such damages

ARE NOT covered by product warranty.

E. Residential Garage Installation

Precautions

If the boiler is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1:

• Install the boiler burner and ignition devices a minimum of 18” above the floor of the garage. This will ensure the burner and ignition devices are well off the floor.

• When raising the boiler ensure the entire bottom and fully filled weight of the boiler are fully supported.

• Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be damaged by a moving vehicle.

F. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe

The boiler is rated ANSI Z21.13 Category IV (pressurized vent,

1. Direct Vent of Exhaust and Intake

If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn from the outdoors directly into the boiler intake and exhaust must terminate outdoors. There are three basic direct vent options detailed in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2. Roof

Venting, and 3. Unbalanced Venting.

Be sure to locate the boiler such that the exhaust vent and intake piping can be routed through the building and properly terminated. Different vent terminals can be used to simplify and eliminate multiple penetrations in the building structure (see

Optional Equipment in Venting Section). The exhaust vent and intake piping lengths, routing, and termination methods must

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

10 all comply with the methods and limits given in the Venting

Section, this manual.

When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air.

To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.

2. Indoor Combustion Air in Confined or Unconfined Space

This boiler requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe operation and must be installed in a mechanical room where there is adequate combustion and ventilating air.

NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.

Combustion air from the indoor space can be used if the space has adequate area or when air is provided through a duct or louver to supply sufficient combustion air based on the boiler input. Never obstruct the supply of combustion air to the boiler.

If the boiler is installed in areas where indoor air is contaminated

(see Table 2) it is imperative that the boiler be installed as direct vent so that all combustion air is taken directly from the outdoors into the boiler intake connection.

Unconfined space

is space with volume greater than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space.

Rooms connected directly to this space through openings not furnished with doors are considered part of the space. See

Venting Section for details.

Confined space

is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet per

1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space. Rooms connected directly to this space through openings not furnished with doors are considered part of the space.

When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally constructed building to a confined space, such space should be provided with two permanent openings: one located 6” (15 cm) below the space ceiling, the other 6” (15cm) above the space floor. Each opening should have a free area of one square inch per 1,000 BTU/hr (22cm 2 /kW) of the total input of all appliances in the space, but not less than 100 square inches (645cm 2 ).

If the confined space is within a building of tight construction, air for combustion must be obtained from the outdoors as outlined in the Venting section of this manual.

When drawing combustion air from the outside into the mechanical room, care must be taken to provide adequate freeze protection.

Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh combustion air can cause poisonous flue gases to enter the living space, resulting in severe personal injury or death. To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.

G. Prevent Combustion Air Contamination

Install intake air piping for the boiler as described in the Venting

Section, this manual. Do not terminate exhaust in locations that can allow contamination of intake air.

Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants in Table 2. Contaminated air will damage the boiler, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death. For example, do not pipe intake air near a swimming pool or laundry facilities. These areas always contain contaminants.

H. Removing a Boiler from a Common Vent System

Do not install the boiler into a common vent with any other appliance. This will cause flue gas spillage or appliance malfunction, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.

When removing an existing boiler, follow the steps below.

1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies that could cause an unsafe condition.

Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed.

Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close all fireplace dampers.

4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously.

5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle or smoke from a cigarette.

6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers, and any other gas burning appliances to their previous condition of use.

7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected to conform to the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the system should approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix

G of ANSI Z223.1.

• Sodium less than 20 mGL

• Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0

• Maintain water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Check with litmus paper or have it chemically analyzed by water treatment company.

• If the pH differs from above, consult local water treatment for treatment needed.

• Hardness less than 7 grains

• Consult local water treatment companies for unusually hard water areas (above 7 grains hardness).

• Chlorine concentration less than 100 ppm

• Using chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable as levels are typically less than 5 ppm.

• Do not connect the boiler to directly heat swimming pool or spa water.

• Do not fill boiler or operate with water containing chlorine in excess of 100 ppm.

Figure 3 - CO Warning Label

I. Water Chemistry Requirements*

Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe damage to the boiler and associated equipment. HTP recommends having water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to install a water softener. It is important that the water chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central heating sides are checked before installing the boiler, as water quality will affect the reliability of the system. In addition, operating temperatures above 140 o F will cause the boiler to operate continuously, accelerating the build-up of lime scale and possibly shortening the service life of the boiler. Failure of a boiler due to lime scale build-up, low pH, or other chemical imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.

Part 4 - Piping

Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the warranty and may result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Dielectric unions or galvanized steel fittings must not be used in a system with this boiler. Doing so WILL VOID the warranty.

Use only copper, brass, or stainless steel fittings. Teflon thread sealant must be used on all connections.

DO NOT pipe this boiler with black iron, galvanized steel, steel, or lead pipe. Doing so will result in premature product failure and property damage, and WILL VOID the warranty.

Plumbing of this product should only be done by a qualified, licensed plumber in accordance with all local plumbing codes.

The boiler is designed to be connected to a storage tank to supply domestic hot water. HTP offers 60/80/119/175 gallon size storage tanks in either stainless steel or glass-lined construction.

These storage tanks will be directly connected to the boiler supply and return connection.

A. General Plumbing Information

• Discharge line must be as short as possible and the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length.

• Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve and terminate at least 6” above the floor drain, making discharge clearly visible.

• The discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375 o F or greater.

• Do not pipe discharge to any location where freezing could occur.

• No valve may be installed between the relief valve and boiler or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place any obstruction in the discharge line.

• Test the operation of the relief valve after filling and pressurizing the system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, immediately replace with a new properly rated relief valve.

• Test T&P valve at least once annually to ensure the waterway is clear. If valve does not operate, turn the boiler “off” and call a plumber immediately.

• Take care whenever operating relief valve to avoid scalding injury or property damage.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE GUIDELINES

COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF RELIEF VALVE OPERATION,

RESULTING IN POSSIBILITY OF SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY

DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

The building piping system must meet or exceed the the piping requirements in this manual.

Use two wrenches when tightening water piping at boiler. Use one wrench to prevent the boiler return or supply line from turning. Failure to prevent piping connections from turning could cause damage to boiler components.

NOTE:

The addition of a high temperature limiting device is important if the boiler is to be connected to a domestic hot water system.

Connect the cold water supply to both the storage bottom port and the supply side of the boiler (shown in Applications, this manual). It is important that you install a flow check on the supply line of the boiler BEFORE connecting the feed line to the storage tank. This allows the cold feed to flow through the storage tank first. It is recommended that you install shut off valves on the cold feed line for future ease of service. If there is a back flow preventer or any type of no return valve in the system, then you must install an additional tee for a suitable potable hot water expansion tank. Connect the storage tank return line to the return connection located on the boiler (shown in Applications, this manual). Then connect the storage tank hot water outlet to the hot water plumbing lines.

B. Relief Valve

Connect discharge piping to a safe disposal location following the guidelines below.

To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:

• Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of severe burns or property damage should the relief valve discharge.

Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve or relief valve line under any circumstances! Explosion and property damage, serious injury, or death may result.

RE-INSPECTION OF T&P RELIEF VALVES: T&P valves should be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE

YEARS, and replaced if necessary,

by a licensed plumbing contractor or qualified service technician to ensure that the product has not been affected by corrosive water conditions and to ensure that the valve and discharge line have not been altered or tampered with illegally. Certain naturally occuring conditions may corrode the valve and its components over time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such conditions can only be detected if the valve and its components are physically removed and inspected.

Do not attempt to conduct an inspection on your own.

Contact your plumbing contractor for a re-inspection to assure continued safety.

FAILURE TO RE-INSPECT THE T&P VALVE AS DIRECTED

COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE AND/OR

PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY

DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

C. Backflow Preventer

Use a backflow preventer specifically designed for boiler installations. This valve should be installed on the cold water fill supply line per local codes.

D. Potable Expansion Tank

A potable hot water expansion tank is required to offset heated water expansion. In most city plumbing systems, the water meter has a no return or back flow device built into the system to prevent back flowing of water into city mains.

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

15

Some local codes require back flow preventers on all incoming water supplies. The hot water expansion tank must be listed for potable water use. The expansion tank should be located on the cold inlet piping close to the boiler.

Expansion Tank and Make-Up Water

1. Ensure that the expansion tank is sized to correctly handle boiler and system water volume and temperature.

Expansion tanks must be sized according to total system volume. This includes all length of pipe, all fixtures, boilers, etc. Failure to properly size for system expansion could result in wasted time, money, possible property damage, serious injury, or death.

F. Flow Switch Installation

1. Choosing the correct flow paddle.

The boiler comes with a flow switch and four flow paddles. Use the table below to determine which paddle to use with the boiler.

N/A

H4

Table 4 - Flow Paddle Sizing

2. Use a Phillips Head screwdriver to attach flow paddle as shown below.

Undersized expansion tanks cause system water to be lost from the relief valve, causing make-up water to be added.

Eventual boiler failure can result due to excessive makeup water addition.

SUCH FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY

WARRANTY.

DO NOT

install automatic air vents on closed type expansion tank systems. Air must remain in the system and return to the tank to provide an air cushion. An automatic air vent would cause air to leave the system, resulting in improper operation of the expansion tank.

The expansion tank must be suitable for hot potable water systems.

3. Thread outlet combination fitting onto supply outlet of boiler using pipe dope.

2. The expansion tank must be located as shown in

Applications, this manual, or following recognized design methods. See expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for details.

E. Circulators

Every VWH system requires special attention to circulator size to overcome pressure drop through the boiler and its related piping. All circulators installed on the VWH system must be designed for potable water installations. Boiler pressure drop is detailed in this manual.

4. Thread flow switch into outlet combination fitting using pipe dope,

making certain the FLOW arrow points in the correct direction.

5. Thread relief valve into outlet combination fitting using pipe dope.

Water temperature above 140 o

F requires the circulator to run continuously. Water hardness must be between 5 and 7 grains.

Hardness above 7 grains will damage the heat exchanger and shorten the service life of the boiler.

DO NOT

use the boiler circulator in any location other than the ones shown in this manual. The boiler circulator location is selected to ensure adequate flow through the boiler.

Failure to comply with this caution could result in unreliable performance and nuisance shutdowns from insufficient flow.

6. Thread temperature and pressure gauge into outlet combination fitting using pipe dope.

G. Scalding

This boiler can deliver scalding water at any faucet in the system.

Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury.

Certain appliances such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers may require increased temperatures. water

By setting the thermostat on this boiler to obtain the increased water temperature required by these appliances you may create the potential for scald injury.

To protect against injury, install a mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce point of use discharge temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from your local plumbing supplier.

Table 5 details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.

H. High Velocity Circulator Pump

Every VWH system requires special attention to pump size in order to overcome pressure drop through the boiler and its related piping. All circulators installed on the VWH system must be designed for a potable water system.

In addition, the heat exchanger has a minimum total water volume that must be taken into account when sizing the circulator. Minimum flow rates are listed in the table below.

I. Plumbing

The boiler is designed to function in an open loop hot water supply system. We have included a temperature and pressure gauge that allows the user to monitor the system pressure and outlet temperature from the boiler. It is important to note that the boiler has a minimal amount of pressure drop and must be calculated when sizing the circulators.

Install the boiler so the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, etc.). Allow clearance for basic service of boiler circulator, valves and other components.

Observe the minimum 1” clearance around all uninsulated hot water pipes when openings around pipes are not protected by non-combustible materials.

Basic steps are listed below, with illustration that will guide you through the installation of the boiler.

1. Connect the system return marked “Boiler Return”.

2. Connect the system supply marked “Boiler Supply”.

3. Install a circulator as shown in Applications (this manual).

Make sure the circulator is properly sized for the system and friction loss.

4. Install an expansion tank on the system supply. Consult the expansion tank manufacturer’s instruction manual (see Part 4,

Section D for water volume) for specific information relating to expansion tank installation. Size the expansion tank for the required system volume and capacity.

5. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the system. Note:

The boiler cannot be drained completely of water without purging the unit with an air pressure of 15 PSI.

6. The relief valve and temperature and pressure gauge are included in the accessory kit. A discharge line should be installed 6” above the drain in the event of a pressure relief.

The pipe size must be the same size as the relief valve outlet.

2. Install the venting system in accordance with these instructions and with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54, CAN/CGA B149, and / or applicable provisions of local building codes.

3. This boiler must be vented with materials, components, and systems listed and approved for Category IV appliances.

Due to the extreme flammability of most glues, cements, solvents, and primers used to join plastic exhaust vent and intake pipes, explosive solvent vapors must be cleared from all vent piping before start-up. Avoid using excess cement or primer, as this may pool in the vent pipes. Vent assemblies should be allowed to cure for a period of at least 8 hours before powering a connected appliance. Failure to follow these instructions will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death. It is the installers’ responsibility to understand the hazards associated with explosive solvents and take the necessary precautions to avoid these risks.

Exhaust and intake are to be piped separately. This boiler cannot share a common exhaust or intake with multiple appliances. Failure to follow these instructions will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

NOTE:

To avoid contamination often contained in indoor air, it is best to pipe all intake combustion air directly to the outdoors.

NOTE:

If exhaust vent pipe system passes through an unheated space such as an alcove or attic, the space must be heated or the pipe must be insulated. The insulation must have an R value sufficient to prevent freezing of the condensate.

Improper seating of vent pipe gaskets can cause eventual gasket failure and exhaust gas leakage. Ensure the exhaust vent pipe is properly beveled and seated before insertion into the flue adapter. Failure to do so could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

For closet and alcove installations: CPVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel venting material MUST BE USED. Failure to follow this statement could result in product damage, severe personal injury, or death.

DO NOT insulate the first 3 feet of the exhaust vent. CPVC,

Polypropylene, or Stainless Steel pipe material MUST be used for the first 3 feet of the vent run if the exhaust vent is insulated or passes through an enclosed space greater than 6”, such as a wall. The balance of the vent run can be installed with standard

Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Failure to comply with this warning could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Exhaust vent adaptors are not designed as load-bearing devices, and must not be used to support exhaust vent piping.

All vent pipes must be properly connected, supported, and the exhaust vent must be pitched a minimum of 1/4” per foot back to the boiler to allow drainage of condensate. Failure to properly support vent piping and follow the information in this statement could result in product damage, severe personal injury, or death.

E. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Sizing

1. The exhaust vent and intake pipe size is 3” for 220 models and

4” for 299 - 399 models.

2. The maximum total equivalent length of exhaust vent and intake pipe

should not exceed 200 feet

.

b. For example: If the exhaust vent is 3” in diameter, has two

90 o

elbows, and 10 feet of PVC pipe we will calculate:

Exhaust Vent Equivalent Length = (2x5) + 10 = 20 feet.

Further, if the 3” intake pipe has two 90 o

elbows, one 45 o elbow, and 10 feet of PVC pipe, the following calculation applies:

Intake Pipe Equivalent Length = (2x5) + 3 + 10 = 23 feet.

The total equivalent length is 43 feet, well below the maximum of 200 feet.

c. Effort should be made to keep a minimum difference in equivalent length between the exhaust vent and intake pipe.

3. The minimum total equivalent length is 16 feet.

Do not exceed the maximum lengths for vent pipes. Excessive length could result in boiler shutdown and property damage.

Failure to provide a minimum total vent length of 16 equivalent feet could result in property damage and improper product operation.

F. Longer Vent Runs

The maximum total equivalent length can be extended by increasing the diameter of both the exhaust vent and intake pipes equally. However, the transitions should begin a minimum of 16 equivalent feet from the boiler. Transitions should always be made in vertical sections of pipe to prevent the condensate from pooling in the vent pipe.

The maximum equivalent length for increased diameter vent pipes is 275 ft, which includes 16 ft from with boiler with a transition total of 259 ft upsize piping for longer vent runs.

Total maximum equivalent length of increased diameter exhaust vent and intake pipe must not exceed the lengths defined in this manual. Failure to keep the total equivalent length below the maximum lengths determined in this manual will result in faulty boiler operation, substantial property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

G. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Installation

All joints of positive pressure vent systems must be sealed completely to prevent leakage of flue products into the living space. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

1. Use only solid PVC, CPVC, or stainless steel pipe or a

Polypropylene vent system approved for use with Category IV appliances.

FOAM CORE PIPING IS NOT APPROVED FOR EXHAUST

VENT APPLICATIONS. Foam core piping may be used on air inlet piping

only

.

2. Remove all burrs and debris from joints and fittings.

3. When using PVC or CPVC pipe, all joints must be properly cleaned, primed, and cemented. Use only cement and primer approved for use with the pipe material. Cement must conform to ASTM D2564 for PVC and ASTM F493 for CPVC pipe.

NOTE: DO NOT CEMENT POLYPROPYLENE PIPE.

4. Ensure the vent is located where it will not be exposed to prevailing winds.

5. In all roof venting applications, exhaust discharge must point away from the pitch of the roof.

6. If the exhaust vent is to be terminated in a walled off area

(such as a roof with a parapet wall), ensure the exhaust vent terminates a minimum of 10’ from nearest wall and extends level with or above the top of the wall. This will ensure flue gas does does not get trapped and possibly recirculated into the intake air pipe, which could contaminate the combustion air.

7. To prevent water leakage, install adequate roof flashing where the pipe enters the roof.

8. Do not locate vent over public walkways, driveways, or parking lots. Condensate could drip and freeze, resulting in a slip hazard or damage to vehicles and machinery.

9. Due to potential moisture build-up, sidewall venting may

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

25 not be the preferred venting option. To save time and cost, carefully consider venting installation and location.

10. Horizontal lengths of exhaust vent must slope back towards the boiler not less than ¼” per foot to allow condensate to drain from the vent pipe.

11. The exhaust vent must terminate where vapors cannot make accidental contact with people or pets, or damage shrubs or plants.

12. In vacant chimney applications, install and seal a rain cap over existing chimney openings.

13. All piping must be fully supported. Use pipe hangers at a minimum of 4 foot intervals to prevent sagging of the pipe where condensate may form.

14. Do not use the boiler to support any piping.

15. Ensure the outdoor exhaust vent termination is screened to prevent blockage caused by debris or birds.

16. Ensure the outdoor intake pipe termination is screened to prevent blockage caused by debris or birds.

H. Applications

1. Direct Vent Installation of Exhaust and Intake

If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn from the outdoors directly into the boiler intake, and exhaust must terminate outside. There are three basic direct vent options detailed in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2.

Roof Venting, and 3. Unbalanced Venting.

Be sure to locate the boiler such that the exhaust vent and intake pipe can be routed through the building and properly terminated. Different vent terminals can be used to simplify and eliminate multiple penetrations in the building structure

(see Optional Equipment in Venting Section). The exhaust vent and intake pipe lengths, routing and termination methods must all comply with the methods and limits given in the Venting section of this manual.

When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air.

NOTE:

To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.

Figure 16 - Unbalanced Venting - Roof Exhaust and Sidewall

NOTE:

These drawings are meant to demonstrate system venting only. The installer is responsible for all equipment and detailing required by local codes.

Contractors must check state and local codes before installing through an existing vent opening. State and local codes always take precedence over manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to check state and local codes before installing through an existing opening could result in property damage and add significantly to installation costs.

If an existing venting system is converted for use with this boiler, the installer must ensure that the existing venting system is clean and free from particulate contamination that could damage the boiler. Failure to do so could result in property damage and boiler failure. Such failure IS NOT covered under warranty.

Concentric Venting Through an Existing System

NOTE: The following instructions refer only to venting through an existing vent system, and not to venting with HTP’s optional concentric vent kits. Refer to Concentric Vent Kit installation manual (LP-166) for further information on venting with the optional concentric vent kits.

Concentric venting through an existing system must run vertically through the roof. See Table 17 for proper minimum vent sizing. Use only the approved venting materials specified in Table 13 for piping the system. All instructions listed in this

Venting section apply. See Figures 17-1 and 17-2 for venting demonstrations.

All vent pipes must be glued, properly supported, and the exhaust pitched a minimum of 1/4” per foot back to the boiler to allow drainage of condensate. When placing support brackets on vent piping, the first bracket must be within 1 foot of the boiler and the balance of 4 foot intervals on the vent pipe. Venting must be readily accessible for visual inspection from the first three feet from the boiler.

An unbalanced vent system can be installed ONLY when the exhaust is in the vertical position. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.

2. Venting Through an Existing System

This boiler may be vented through an existing unused vent system. The inner diameter of the existing vent system is utilized for the combustion air source. Two methods have been approved for such venting: Concentric Venting Through an Existing System and Venting as a Chase.

The upper and lower vent terminations as well as all joints in the venting system must be properly sealed to ensure that all combustion air is drawn properly and exhaust does not leak from the system. Failure to properly seal the venting system will result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

Chase Venting Through an Existing System

When venting as a chase, follow all instructions included in this

Venting section, including those in the previous Concentric

Venting Through an Existing System section. See Figure 17-3 for chase venting demonstration.

3. Indoor Combustion Air in Confined or Unconfined Space

This boiler requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe operation and must be installed in a mechanical room where there is adequate combustion and ventilating air.

NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.

Combustion air from the indoor space can be used if the space has adequate area or when air is provided through a duct or louver to supply sufficient combustion air based on the boiler input.

Never obstruct the supply of combustion air to the boiler.

If the boiler is installed in areas where indoor air is contaminated (see Figure 18) it is imperative that the boiler be installed as direct vent so that all combustion air is taken directly from the outdoors into the boiler intake connection.

Unconfined space

is space with volume greater than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space.

Rooms connected directly to this space, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered part of the space.

Confined space

is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space.

Rooms connected directly to this space, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered part of the space.

When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally constructed building to a confined space, such space should be provided with two permanent openings: one located 6” (15 cm) below the space ceiling, the other 6” (15cm) above the space floor. Each opening should have a free area of one square inch per 1,000 Btu/hr (22cm2/kW) of the total input of all appliances in the space, but not less than 100 square inches (645cm2).

If the confined space is within a building of tight construction, air for combustion must be obtained from the outdoors as outlined in the Venting section of this manual. See Figure 19.

I. Condensate Removal System

NOTE:

Check with your local gas company to determine if combustion condensate disposal is permitted in your area. In the state of Massachusetts, condensate must be neutralized before entering a drain.

This boiler is a high efficiency appliance, and therefore produces condensate: a by-product of the combustion process. A condensate collection system with an internal float switch monitors condensate level to prevent it from backing up into the combustion system. There is a ¾” socket connection provided to connect the outlet of the collection system to a drain or condensate pump.

Condensate from the boiler is slightly acidic with a pH of 3.2 -

4.5. To avoid long term damage to the drainage system and to meet local code requirements, HTP recommends neutralizing condensate with a Condensate Neutralizer Kit (Part # 7450P-

212 for 80/110/150/220/299/301 models, Part # 7350P-611 for the 399 model). The neutralizer kit connects to the drain system and contains limestone chips that neutralize the pH level of the condensate. The neutralizer kit should be checked annually and the limestone chips replenished if necessary. When replacing the limestone chips, take care to ensure chips are no smaller than ½” to avoid blockage in condensate piping (refer to Figure

20 for piping of the condensate neutralizer.)

NOTES:

1. Condensate line must be pitched at least ¼” per foot to properly drain. If this cannot be done, or a very long length of condensate hose is used, increase the condensate line to a minimum of 1” ID and place a tee in the line after the condensate neutralizer to properly reduce vacuum lock in the drain line.

2. PVC or CPVC pipe should be the only material used for condensate line. Steel, brass, copper, and other metals will be subject to corrosion or deterioration.

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

30

3. A frozen condensate line could result in a blocked vent condition. It is very important to protect the condensate line from freezing temperatures or any type of blockage. In installations that may encounter sustained freezing conditions, the use of heat tape is recommended to avoid freezing of the condensate line. It is also recommended to bush up the condensate line size to 1” and terminate condensate discharge as close to the unit as possible. Longer condensate runs are more prone to freezing.

Damages due to frozen or blocked condensate lines ARE NOT covered by warranty.

4. Support of the condensate line may be necessary to avoid blockage of the condensate flow.

5. To allow proper drainage on longer horizontal condensate runs, tubing size may need to increase to 1” and a second line vent may be required.

NOTE:

To clean out condensate trap, see Maintenance section.

Part 6 - Wiring

It is of extreme importance that this unit be properly grounded. It is very important that the building system ground is inspected by a qualified electrician prior to making this connection. Electrical power must only be turned on when the boiler is completely filled with cold water. Failure to follow these instructions could result in component or product failure, serious injury, or death.

Electrical Shock Hazard

- Turn off electrical power supply at service entrance panel before making any electrical connections. Failure to follow do do so could result in serious injury, or death.

Label all wires prior to disconnecting them when servicing the boiler. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or personal injury.

The condensate line must remain unobstructed. If allowed to freeze in the line or obstructed in any other manner, condensate can exit from the boiler tee, resulting in potential water damage to property. When installing a condensate pump, select one approved for use with condensing boilers and furnaces. The condensate pump should have an overflow switch to prevent property damage from spillage. Condensate from the boiler will be slightly acidic (pH from 3.2 to 4.5). Install a neutralizing filter if required by local codes.

Is is very important that condensate piping be no smaller than

1/2”. Use a tee at the condensate connection with a branch vertically up and open to the atmosphere to prevent a vacuum that could obstruct the flow of condensate from the boiler. To prevent sagging and maintain pitch, condensate piping should be supported with pipe supports.

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.

Power to the optional condensate pump is continuous. When the boiler is powered off the condensate pump will remain on.

It is important to remember to turn off the condensate pump when powering down the boiler. Failure to do so could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

To avoid electrical shock, turn off all power to the boiler prior to opening an electrical box within the unit. Ensure the power remains off while any wiring connections are being made.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in component or product failure, serious injury, or death. Such product failure IS

NOT covered by warranty.

Jumping out control circuits or components WILL VOID product warranty and can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Wiring must be NEC Class 1. If original wiring supplied with the boiler must be replaced, use only TEW 105 o

C wire or equivalent. Boiler must be electrically grounded as required by the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - Latest

Edition.

A. Installation Must Comply With

1. National Electrical Code and any other national, state, provincial, or local codes or regulations.

2. In Canada, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, and any local codes.

B. Field Wiring

Terminations

All connections made to the boiler in the field are done inside the electrical junction box located on the left side of the unit. Multiple k n o c k o u t locations are

Figure 21 - Knockout Locations

available to route field wires into and out of the electrical junction box.

C. Field Wiring

The control used in the boiler is capable of directly controlling

1 pump in standard mode and 2 pumps when configured as a cascade master boiler. As a standard unit, each pump can provide a maximum of 3 amps at 120 volts. If a pump requires more than this amount of power, an external contactor or motor starter is needed. If the boiler is configured as a cascade master, the system pump output is a dry contact output capable of switching 5 amps at 120 volts, in addition to the boiler pump output sourcing 4 amps each.

The electrical junction box has separate, clearly marked terminal strips for line voltage and low voltage wiring. Special jacks are provided for trouble-free cascade system wiring using standard CAT3 or CAT5 patch cables.

D. Line Voltage Wiring for Standard Boiler

NOTE:

A termination plug is included in the CAT 3 / CAT 5 Bus

Connection Point, labeled J3 in Figure 22. DO NOT REMOVE

THIS PLUG! Doing so will affect boiler operation and void warranty.

1. Connect the incoming power wiring to the line voltage terminal strip in the electrical junction box at terminals 120V,

Neutral, Ground (shown in Figure 22).

2. A line voltage fused disconnect switch may be required, externally mounted and connected according to local codes that may apply.

3. Connect the boiler pump as shown in Figure 22 to the terminals marked 1 – (HOT), 2 – (NEUT), and 3 – (GND). The connections shown are suitable for a maximum continuous pump draw of 3 amps at 120 volts. If the pump requires more current or voltage than the 120 volts supplied, an external motor starter or contactor will be required.

E. Alarm Connections

The control includes a dry contact alarm output. This is an

SPDT circuit, rated at 5 amps at 120 volts. This contact can be used to activate an alarm light or bell or notify a building management system if the boiler goes into a lockout condition. The circuit between the ALARM COM and NC terminals is closed during normal operation and the circuit between ALARM COM and NO is open during normal operation.

The connections depicted in Figure 22 show two 120 volt lights connected to the alarm terminals. One light will be on when the boiler is in normal mode and the other light will be on when the boiler is in lockout mode.

F. Low Voltage Connections for Standard Boiler

1. All low voltage cables should enter the electrical junction box through the provided knock out holes as shown in Figure 21.

2. Connect all low voltage field devices to the low voltage terminal strip located in the electrical junction box.

G. Tank Sensor or Mechanical Control

Connect the tank sensor or mechanical controls to the TANK

SENSOR terminals (10, 11) of the low voltage terminal strip as shown in Figure 22. The control will automatically determine which type of sensor is connected and operate accordingly.

Figure 22 - VWH Control Wiring

Failure to use the correct sensor may result in tank temperature being either above or below set point, and could result in decreased performance, substantial property damage, or heightened risk of injury or death due to scalds.

Caution should be used to ensure neither of these terminals becomes connected to ground.

NOTE:

If sensor wires are located in an area with sources of potential electromagnetic interference

(EMI), the sensor wires should be shielded, or the wires routed in a grounded metal conduit. If using shielded cable, the shielding should be connected to the common ground of the boiler.

H. System / Pipe Sensor

The system/pipe sensor can be used to control the temperature of the storage tank when a tank sensor or mechanical control cannot be mounted.

The system/pipe sensor would be wired into the terminals of the low voltage terminal strip as shown on

Figure 22. It is important to note that when a system/pipe sensor is used, the circulating pump must be wired to operate continuously; otherwise the boiler will short cycle.

The system/pipe sensor can also be used in a cascade system when the sensor is placed on the supply line of multiple boilers that feed the storage tank. This will control the temperature and modulate the firing rate of the connected boilers. The system/pipe sensor

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

32 would then be wired into the master boiler terminals on the low voltage strip as shown on Figure 24.

NOTE:

If sensor wires are located in an area with sources of potential electromagnetic interference (EMI), the sensor wires should be shielded, or the wires routed in a grounded metal conduit. If using shielded cable, the shielding should be connected to the common ground of the boiler.

I. Optional 0-10 Volt Building Control Signal

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

The control interprets the 0-10 volt signal as follows; when the signal is between 0 and 1.5 volts, the boiler will be in standby mode, not firing. When the signal rises above 1.5 volts, the boiler will ignite. As the signal continues to rise towards its maximum of 10 volts, the boiler will increase in set point temperature. See Part 10 for details on the setting of function

16.

2. Connect a building management system or other auxiliary control signal to the terminals marked 16, 0-10 VOLT + and

17, 0-10 VOLT – in the electrical junction box (shown in Figure

22). Caution should be used to ensure that the 0-10 VOLT + connection does not become connected to ground.

3. Move jumper on connection board (shown in Figure 24) from A to B.

4. See Function 17 this manual to program the 0-10 volt signal.

NOTE:

When a 0-10 volt building management system is installed, the return sensor temperature cannot be monitored through the appliance display.

J. Optional UL353 Low Water Cut-Off Interface Kit

If an optional Low Water Cut-Off (LWCO) Kit is used, the

LWCO probe should be mounted into the fitting provided in the outlet combination fitting.

Follow the complete instructions included in the kit for proper installation.

K. Wiring of Cascade System Communication Bus

1. A Cascade Bus Termination Plug has been installed on the customer connection board of this boiler. The purpose of this plug is to stabilize communication between multiple boilers and reduce electrical “noise”. See Figures 23 and 24 for

Cascade Bus Termination Plug installation detail.

2. Use standard CAT3 or CAT5 computer network patch cables to connect the communication bus between each of the boilers. These cables are readily available at any office supply, computer, electronic, department or discount home supply store in varying lengths. If you possess the skills you can also construct custom length cables.

3. It is recommended to use the shortest length cable that will reach between the boilers and create a neat installation. Do not run unprotected cables across the floor where they may become wet or damaged. Avoid running communication cables parallel and close to or against high voltage (120 volt or greater) wiring.

HTP recommends that the maximum length of communication bus cables not exceed 200 feet.

4. Route the communication cables through one of the knockouts in the cabinet.

5. Connect the boilers in a daisy chain configuration as shown below. It is best to wire the boilers using the shortest wire runs rather than trying to wire them in the order that they are addressed. The communication bus jacks on the customer connection panel are interchangeable so you can use either one or both in any order to connect the cable.

If you have connected the boilers to each other properly, there will be no open communication connection ports.

L. Cascade Master Pump and Sensor Wiring

1. Connect the system pump hot wire to the terminal marked 8.

2. Connect the system pump neutral to the 2 terminal and the pump ground wire to the 3 terminal.

3. Connect a jumper wire from the 120 VOLT terminal to the 9 terminal.

4. Connect the boiler pump to the terminals marked 1 (HOT), 2

(NEUT) and 3 (GND).

5. Connect system pipe sensor to terminals marked 10 and 11.

M. Cascade Follower Pump and Sensor Wiring

1. Connect the boiler pump to the terminals labeled 1 (HOT), 2

(NEUT), and 3 (GND).

2. An alarm bell or light can be connected to the alarm contacts of the follower boiler. The normally closed alarm contact may be used to turn a device off if the boiler goes into lockout mode. The alarm contacts are rated 5 amps at 120 VAC.

To connect an alarm device, connect the power for the device to the ALARM COM terminal. Connect the alarm device hot wire to the ALARM NO terminal. Connect the neutral or return of the alarm device to the neutral or return of the power for the alarm device.

To connect a device that should be powered off during a boiler lockout condition, follow the same instructions as above except use the ALARM NC terminal rather than the ALARM NC terminal.

Note that in a cascade system the alarm output of the boiler addressed as #1 will also be active if the master boiler has a lockout condition. The alarm output of boilers addressed as 2-7 will only activate an alarm if a lockout condition occurs on that specific boiler.

Part 7 - Gas Connections

35

Care must be taken when applying compound to prevent blockage or obstruction of gas flow which may affect the operation of the unit.

Failure to follow all precautions could result in fire, explosion, severe injury, or death.

It is very important that you are connected to the type of gas noted on the rating plate. “LP” for liquefied petroleum, propane gas, or “NG” for natural or city gas. Do not do a gas conversion without an approved gas conversion kit. Follow the included instructions VERY carefully if converting the boiler. Prior to turning the gas on, all gas connections must be approved by the local gas supplier or utility, in addition to the governing authority. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

The gas supply shall have a maximum inlet pressure of less than 14” w.c. (3.5 kPa), and a minimum of 3.5” w.c. (.87 kPa).

The entire piping system, gas meter and regulator must be sized properly to prevent pressure drop greater than 0.5” (.12 kPa) as stated in the National Fuel Gas Code. This information is listed on the rating label.

Support gas supply piping with hangers, not by the boiler or its accessories. The boiler gas valve and blower will not support the weight of the piping. Make sure the gas piping is protected from physical damage and freezing, where required. Failure to follow these instructions could result in gas leakage, and result in fire, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Do not use Teflon tape on gas line pipe thread. Use a pipe compound rated for use with natural and propane gases. Apply sparingly on male pipe ends, leaving the two end threads bare and flow unobstructed. Failure to follow these instructions could result in gas leakage or blockage, and result in fire, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

UL recognized fuel gas detectors are recommended in all enclosed propane and natural gas applications where there is a potential for an explosive mixture of fuel gas to accumulate. The installation of these detectors should be made in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s recommendations, and/or local laws. Failure to install fuel gas detectors in these applications could result in fire, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

The gas connection on the boiler is 3/4” for 80/110/150 models and 1” for 220/299/301/399 models. It is mandatory that this fitting is used for connection to a field fabricated drip leg as shown in the illustratioN per the National Fuel Gas Code. You must ensure that the entire gas line to the connection at the boiler is no smaller than the unit supplied connection.

Once all inspections have been performed, the piping must be leak tested. If the leak test requirement is a higher test pres¬sure than the maximum inlet pressure, you must isolate the boiler from the gas line. In order to do this, shut the gas off using factory and field-installed gas cocks. This will prevent high pressure. Failure to do so may damage the gas valve. In the event the gas valve is exposed to a pressure greater than

½ PSI, 14” w.c. (3.5 kPa), the gas valve must be replaced.

Never use an open flame (match, lighter, etc.) to check gas connections.

A. Gas Piping

1. Run the gas supply line in accordance with all applicable codes.

2. Locate and install manual shutoff valves in accordance with state and local requirements.

3. In Canada, the Manual Shutoff must be identified by the installing contractor.

4. It is important to support gas piping as the unit is not designed to structurally support a large amount of weight.

5. Purge all gas lines thoroughly to avoid start up issues with air in the lines.

6. Sealing compound must be approved for gas connections.

Figure 26 - Gas Connection

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

36

Never use an open flame (match or lighter) to check for gas leaks. Use a soapy solution to test connection. Failure to use a soapy solution test or check gas connection for leaks can result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Use two wrenches when tightening gas piping at the boiler: One to prevent the boiler gas line from turning. Failure to prevent the boiler gas connection from turning could result in damage to the gas line components, substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

CSA or UL listed flexible gas connections can be used when installing the boiler. Flexible gas connections have different capacities and must be sized correctly for the connected boiler firing rates. Consult with the flex line supplier to assure the line size is adequate for the job. Follow local codes for proper installation and service requirements.

B. Check Inlet Gas Pressure

The gas valve is equipped with an inlet gas pressure tap that can be used to measure the gas pressure to the unit. To check gas pressure, perform the steps listed below:

1.

IMPORTANT!

Before you connect to the inlet pressure, shut off the gas and electrical power to unit.

2. Loosen the pressure tap with a small screwdriver. Refer to

Figure 27 for location.

3. Each unit is equipped with a needle valve that will accept a

5/16 ID hose to connect to a digital manometer or liquid gauge to measure incoming pressure from 0-35” w.c. See Figure 27.

4. Turn on the gas and power up the unit.

5. Put the unit into manual test mode (details on test mode are in Part 10). In test mode, monitor pressure to assure it does not drop below 1 inch from its idle reading. If gas pressure is out of range or pressure drop is excessive, contact the gas utility, gas supplier, qualified installer, or service agency to determine correct action that is needed to provide proper gas pressure to the unit. If Gas Pressure is within normal range proceed to Step

6.

6. Exit test mode, then turn power off and shut off gas supply at the manual gas valve before disconnecting the hose from the gas monitoring device. Tighten screw on the pressure tap and turn gas on. Check for leaks with soapy solution. Bubbles will appear on the pipe to indicate a leak is present.

Ensure the pressure tap screw is properly tightened to prevent gas leaks. Failure to do so could cause substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

The gas piping must be sized for the proper flow and length of pipe to avoid pressure drop. The gas meter and regulator must be properly sized for the total gas load. If you experience a pressure drop greater than 1” w.c. (.87 kPa), the meter, regulator or gas line may be undersized or in need of service.

You can attach a manometer to the incoming gas drip leg after removing the cap. The gas pressure must remain between

3.5” (.87 kPa) and 14” (3.5 kPa) during stand-by (static) mode and while in operating (dynamic) mode.

If an in-line regulator is used, it must be a minimum of 10 feet from the boiler. It is very important that the gas line is properly purged by the gas supplier or utility. Failure to properly purge the lines, or improper line sizing, will result in ignition failure.

This problem is especially noticeable in NEW LP installations and empty tank situations. This situation can also occur when a utility company shuts off service to an area to provide maintenance to their lines. This gas valve must not be replaced with a conventional gas valve under any circumstances.

DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure gas valve outlet pressure. The gas valve is factory-set for the correct outlet pressure and requires no field adjustment. Attempts by the installer to adjust or measure the gas valve outlet pressure could result in damage to the valve and cause substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Ensure that the high gas pressure regulator is as least 6 – 10 feet upstream of the appliance. Failure to do so could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

C. Boiler Gas Valve

37

Figure 27 - Gas Valve

Do not do a gas conversion on this boiler without an officially approved conversion kit and instructions supplied by HTP.

Failure to use a conversion kit when converting the boiler to fire on Natural or Propane gas will result in extremely dangerous burner operation, leading to fire, explosion, severe personal injury, or death.

Strain on the gas valve and fittings may result in vibration, premature component failure and gas leakage, and result in fire, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Adjustments to the throttle screw or offset may only be made by a qualified gas technician using a calibrated combustion analyzer capable of measuring CO2 and CO. Failure to follow this instruction could result in fire, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Part 8 - Start-Up Preparation

A. Check / Control Water Chemistry

Chemical imbalance of your water can cause severe damage to your boiler and associated equipment, and may also affect efficiency. You may have to have your water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether you need to install a water softener. It is important that the water chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central heating sides are checked before installing the boiler, as water quality will affect the reliability of the system. Outlined below are those water quality parameters which need to be met in order for the system to operate efficiently for many years. Failure of a heat exchanger due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH or other imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.

To assure extended service life, it is recommended to test water quality prior to installation. Listed below are some guidelines.

Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in the boiler system. Damage to elastomer seals and gaskets in the system could occur, resulting in substantial property damage.

Sodium less than 20 mGL

Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0

1. Maintain boiler water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Check with litmus paper or have it chemically analyzed by a water treatment company.

2. If the pH differs from above, consult local water treatment company for treatment needed.

Hardness less than 7 grains

Consult local water treatment companies for unusually hard water areas (above 7 grains hardness).

Chlorine concentration less than 100 ppm

1. Using chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable since drinking water chlorine levels are typically less than 5 ppm.

2. Do not connect the boiler to directly heat a swimming pool or spa water.

3. Do not fill boiler or operate with water containing chlorine in excess of 100 ppm.

Hardness:

Less than 7 grains

Chloride Levels:

Less than 100 ppm

pH Levels:

6-8

TDS:

Less than 2000 ppm

Sodium:

Less than 20 mGL

B. Check for Gas Leaks

PROPANE BOILERS ONLY – The propane supplier mixes an odorant with the propane to make its presence detectable.

In some instances the odorant can fade, and the gas may no longer have an odor. Before startup (and periodically thereafter), have the propane supplier verify the correct odorant level in the gas.

C. Condensate Removal

1. The boiler is a high efficiency condensing boiler. Therefore, the unit has a condensate drain. Condensate fluid is nothing more than water vapor, derived from combustion products, similar to that produced by an automobile when it is initially started.

Condensation is slightly acidic (typically with a pH of 3 to 5) and must be piped with the correct materials. Never pipe the condensate using steel, copper, brass or other materials that will be subject to corrosion. Plastic PVC or CPVC pipe are the only approved materials.

A condensate neutralizer, if required by local authorities, can be made up of lime crystals, marble or phosphate chips that will neutralize the condensate. This may be done by the installer or you may purchase a condensate neutralizer from

HTP (7450P-212).

2. The boiler is equipped with a ¾ female socket weld fitting connection that must be piped to a local drain. It is very important that the condensate line is sloped downward away from the boiler to a suitable inside drain. If the condensate outlet on the appliance is lower than the drain, you must use a condensate removal pump, available from HTP (554200). This pump is equipped with two leads that can be connected to an alarm or another type of warning device to alert the user of a condensate overflow, which, if not corrected, could cause property damage.

3. If a long horizontal run is used, it may be necessary to create a vent in the horizontal run to prevent a vacuum lock in the condensate line.

4. Do not expose the condensate to freezing temperatures.

5. It is very important you support the condensation line to assure proper drainage.

D. Final Checks Before Starting Boiler

1. Read Startup Procedures within this manual for proper steps to start boiler. (See Startup Report to record steps for future reference.)

2. Verify the boiler and system are full of water and all system components are correctly set for operation.

Before starting the boiler, and during initial operation, smell near the floor and around the boiler for gas odorant or any unusual odor. Remove boiler front door and smell interior of boiler enclosure. Do not proceed with startup if there is any indication of a gas leak. Repair any leaks at once.

Ensure the boiler is full of water before firing the burner.

Failure to do so will damage the boiler. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty, and could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

3. Fill condensate trap with water.

4. Verify electrical connections are correct and securely attached.

5. Inspect exhaust vent and intake piping for signs of deterioration from corrosion, physical damage or sagging.

Verify exhaust vent and intake piping are intact and correctly installed per Venting Section and local codes.

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

E. Setting Up a Single Boiler

When power is applied to the boiler, the control first completes a power-up systems check. During this time the combustion fan may run. The display will initially show the current boiler outlet temperature. If a fault is detected during the power-up test, the control will display the appropriate fault code. Otherwise, the display will continue to show the boiler outlet temperature and stand-by, waiting for a demand for hot water. If the temperature of the tank sensor falls below the tank set point minus the tank differential temperature, a demand for hot water is generated by the control.

When a demand for hot water is received, the control begins the following demand sequence. The boiler first turns on the pump (if it is not wired to run continuously). Once the pump is running, the control will display LOW WATER FLOW and wait for the water flow in the system to increase to an acceptable level determined by the flow switch on the outside of the boiler. (NOTE: This step may happen very rapidly. If flow is adequate, LOW WATER FLOW may never display.)

Once flow through the boiler is adequate, the control will measure the supply temperature. If it is below the set point temperature minus the ignition differential set point, the control will ignite the burner. After the burner is lit, the control modulates the firing rate to control the supply water temperature at the set point temperature plus the supply offset temperature (installer #4) above the tank set point temperature. When the tank temperature is equal to the tank set point temperature, the control will extinguish the burner and run the combustion fan to purge gasses from the combustion chamber. In addition, the pump will run for a pump post purge interval. The control will then be in standby, waiting to process the next demand for heat.

During this process, the control will extinguish the burner if it senses a dangerous or unsafe condition. If the control determines that a dangerous or unsafe condition has occurred, the control may lock out the boiler and prevent it from igniting until a maintenance person diagnoses the problem, repairs it, and resets the control. In the event that the control goes into lockout, it will show a diagnostic code on the display, illuminate the LED fault indicator, and close the alarm relay contacts to aid in recognition of the condition, diagnosis, and repair.

F. Setting Up a Cascaded System

If the boiler is part of a cascaded system the operation is somewhat different. The control of each boiler in a cascaded system completes its own power up system check as described above. One of the boilers in the cascade system is designated as the master boiler. After the master boiler completes its power up sequence, it checks the communication bus to see if any other boilers are present. If other boilers are present, the master control determines these follower boiler addresses.

The master boiler control will recheck the bus every few seconds as long as it is powered up to update the status of the connected boilers. The control in the master boiler processes all heat demands and dictates which of the follower boilers should light and what firing rate the followers should try to achieve.

When the master boiler receives a demand for heat, it determines which boiler is first in the firing sequence and sends that boiler a command to begin a demand sequence. That boiler will then begin a demand sequence as described above.

Once the boiler ignites, the master boiler control will increase the firing rate command to that boiler until the system sensor temperature is at the tank set point temperature plus the supply offset temperature (installer #4), or that boiler is at high firing rate. If the command from the master boiler control gets to the high firing rate of the follower boiler, but the system sensor is below the required temperature, the master boiler control will then tell the next boiler in the firing sequence to begin its demand sequence. The master boiler control will then begin to ramp up the firing rate command of that boiler. This process will continue while there is a demand until all boilers in the cascade system are at high fire or the desired temperature of the system sensor is reached. If the system sensor temperature reaches tank set point and installer #4 before all boilers are at high fire, the master control will modulate the cascade command signal to maintain the system sensor at tank set point and installer

#4 until the demand is complete. When the tank temperature is equal to the set point temperature, the demand is complete, and the master boiler control will extinguish all boilers that may be lit. If the demand decreases, the firing rate command and amount of boilers lit will decrease exactly opposite as described above.

Whenever the master boiler control needs to fire a follower boiler, it sends a firing rate command to that boiler. The follower boiler will respond to the command until its supply sensor temperature gets to be 5 o

F above the tank set point temperature plus the supply offset temperature (installer #4), at which point the individual boiler will modulate on its own so as not to overheat. As a result, it is not uncommon to see the cascade output at maximum but individual boilers firing at less than their maximum firing rate.

G. Lockout Condition

If any boilers, including the master boiler in the cascade system, are in a lockout condition, the master control will recognize the lockout condition and skip over the boiler in the firing sequence.

Each boiler in the cascade system is responsible for its own safety functions. So, if any individual boiler control senses an unsafe condition, it will extinguish the burner and, if necessary, go to a lockout condition. In this way, every boiler in the system has its individual safety controls intact and operational, even if the firing of the boiler is under control of the master boiler.

In the event that the system sensor fails, all boilers in the system will ignite simultaneously when there is a demand, and each boiler will individually regulate firing rates to maintain the master set point temperature (tank set point + installer

#4) at the individual supply sensors built into the boiler. If this should happen, the master boiler will display an E03 fault code, indicating that the supply sensor has failed.

H. Cascade System Programming

1. If the boiler is used alone, skip this section.

2. Programming the Master Boiler: a. Make sure there is no demand for heat being supplied to the boiler.

b. Apply power to the boiler.

c. Enter the system setting program navigation following instructions in Part 10 of this manual.

d. Verify that cascade address function 15 is set to 0. This

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

40 makes the master boiler address 0. NOTE: The Master

Boiler MUST be addressed as 0.

e. Change Cascade Mode function 23 to 926 Boilrs. This makes it the master boiler.

f. Exit the installer menu.

NOTE:

The temperature set point of the master must match the follower boiler set point in order for the system to operate properly.

3. Programming Follower Boilers:

NOTE: READ THE NOTES BELOW BEFORE

PROGRAMMING FOLLOWER BOILERS

• The boiler addressed as 1 will share its alarm output with the master boiler.

• It is recommended but not necessary to address boilers in the order that they are wired.

• No two boilers can have the same address.

• It is not required to use all consecutive address numbers.

a. Make sure there is no demand for heat being supplied to the master boiler b. Apply power to the follower boiler you are working on. c. Enter system settings following instructions in Part 10 of this manual d. Set cascade address parameter 15 to 1 for the first follower, 2 for the second follower, etc. depending on which boiler you are programming based on the above notes.

e. Change “CASCADE MODE” parameter to “926 BOILRS”.

This makes the boiler a follower boiler and enables all data to be transferred between boilers as needed for the system to function to full capability. f. Exit the installer menu.

NOTE:

The temperature set point of the follower must match the master boiler set point in order for the system to operate properly.

Part 9 - Start-Up Procedure

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING

1. This boiler does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.

2. BEFORE OPERATING: Smell all around the boiler area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

3. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any boiler.

• Do not touch any electric switch, do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas suppliers’ instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

• Turn off the gas shutoff valve (located outside the boiler) so that the handle is crosswise to the gas pipe.

If the handle will not turn by hand, don’t try to force or repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

4. Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been damaged.

5. The boiler shall be installed so the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap, control replacement, etc.)

Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

If you discover any evidence of a gas leak, shut down the boiler at once. Find the leak source with a bubble test and repair immediately. Do not start the boiler again until the leak is repaired. Failure to comply could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

A. Control Overview

The control is one of the primary safety devices of the boiler.

It monitors the safety sensors of the boiler to assure safe and efficient operation.

The control has many features associated with system design.

This section addresses programming features, including

Boiler Settings / System Settings / Maintenance Settings and

System Diagnostics, to help in customizing your control. It is important to fully understand control capabilities before customization, as its factory defaults may already fit your system design and not require any adjustment at all.

B. Navigation of the Display

The display includes a two line backlit LCD readout to provide informative messages about the operation of the boiler. Many operating parameters can be viewed and adjusted by using the six buttons on the display. The function of each button is described below.

RESET

C. Operating Instructions

Before operating the unit, it is important to remove the cover and verify that the gas line and water lines are connected to boiler and fully purged. If you smell gas, STOP; Follow the safety instructions listed in the first part of this section. If you do not smell gas, follow the next steps.

1. Turn down the thermostats before applying power to the boiler. If 0–10 volt or other inputs are used, make sure that they are set so there is no call for heat while programming.

2. Turn on the power to the boiler or boilers if a cascade system used.

3. Next, check the boiler settings. Adjustment and factory defaults are outlined within this section. If a cascade system is used, it is important that all the boilers have the same boiler settings.

4. Next, check the system settings. Adjustments and factory defaults are outlined within this section. If a cascade system is used, it is important that the Master Boiler is programmed with the correct system settings.

5. Create a demand on the boiler or boilers if a cascade system is used. The user can monitor system functions when the boilers are operational.

6. If the boilers fail to start, refer to the troubleshooting section in the back of this manual.

D. Programming Boiler Settings

ALARM

FLAME

- Output is proportional to boiler fan speed. 0V

= Fan is Off, 1.5V = Minimum Fan Speed, 10V = Maximum Fan

- 0V = Alarm is Off, 10V = Alarm is On

TEMPERATUR

- Output follows boiler temperature setting based on outdoor reset. 0V = Minimum Boiler Temperature for Maximum Outdoor Temperature Setting. 10V = CH (or cascade) temperature setting. This number will vary with the outdoor temperature so that the user can know what setpoint temperature the boiler is trying to achieve.

- Equals boiler Flame Current. 0V = 0ua, 10V = 10ua.

Part 11 - Troubleshooting

A. Boiler Error and Fault Codes

If any of the sensors detect an abnormal condition, or an internal component fails during the operation of the boiler, the display may show an error message and error code. This message and code may be the result of a temporary condition, in which case the display will revert to its normal readout when the condition is corrected, or it may be a condition that the controller has evaluated as not safe to restart the boiler. In this case, the boiler control will be locked out, the red FAULT light will be lit, and the message “LOCKOUT” will be displayed on the readout in the lower line.

The boiler will not start until a qualified technician has repaired the boiler and pressed the RESET button for more than 1 second. If there is an error message displayed on the readout, and the message “LOCKOUT” is not displayed and the FAULT light is not lit, then the message is the result of a temporary condition and will disappear when the problem corrects itself.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you see error messages on your display readout, call a technician immediately, since the message may indicate a more serious problem will occur soon.

B. Boiler Error

The controller will display an error code and message when an error condition occurs. These error codes, descriptions, and recommended corrective actions are described in Section D.

C. Boiler Fault

1. The controller will illuminate the red “FAULT” indication light and display a fault code and message when a fault condition occurs. The alarm output will also activate. Most fault conditions cause the CH pump to run in an attempt to cool the boiler.

2. Note the displayed fault code and refer to Section D for an explanation of the message along with several suggestions for corrective actions.

3. Press

RESET

to clear the fault and resume operation. Be sure to observe the operation of the unit for a period of time to assure correct operation and no reoccurrence of fault message.

When servicing or replacing components that are in direct contact with boiler water, be certain that:

• There is no pressure in the boiler. (Pull the release on the relief valve. Do not depend on the pressure gauge reading.

• The boiler water is not hot.

• The electrical power is disconnected.

• The gas is shut off.

Failure to make these checks could result in substantial property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

49

DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN

SUBMERGED IN WATER.

Immediately call a qualified service technician. The appliance MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged. Attempting to operate an appliance that has been submerged could create numerous harmful conditions, such as a potential gas leakage causing a fire and/or explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful particulates into the air. Operating a previously submerged appliance could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

NOTE:

Appliance damage due to flood or submersion is considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.

If overheating occurs or the gas supply fails to shut off, do not turn off electrical power to the circulating pump. This may aggravate the problem and increase the likelihood of boiler damage. Instead, shut off the gas supply to the boiler at the gas service valve. Failure to do so may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Label all wires prior to disconnecting them when servicing the boiler. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or personal injury.

NOTE:

If system return temperatures are maintained below the dew point, condensation will form on the inside of the boiler cabinet and cause some internal sheet metal components to rust.

Description

E03 indicates a problem with the system sensor circuit. The circuit could be open or shorted. Possible reasons for this error are:

There is no system sensor connected to the

Master Boiler.

The system sensor is faulty.

There is a short circuit in the system sensor wiring; possibly from a staple placed through the wire, or damage to the wire causing both conductors to touch.

The system sensor wiring is open due to defect or damage.

Possible Remedy

Disconnect the system sensor from the wiring and measure it’s resistance. Compare the measured resistance to the table in this manual to see if it corresponds to the temperature of the sensor. If the resistance does not agree with the sensor, replace the sensor. If the sensor is OK, disconnect the sensor wiring from both the boiler and the sensor and check continuity using an ohmmeter.

Repair or replace as necessary.

If this error is present, the boilers in the cascaded group will run and ignite simultaneously when there is a heat demand. Each boiler will modulate to maintain set point temperature on its own supply sensor. This code automatically resets when repair is complete. This code will not display if system setting function ERROR SYSTEM

Part 12 - Maintenance

A. Procedures

Periodic maintenance should be performed once a year by a qualified service technician to assure that all the equipment is operating safely and efficiently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualified heating contractor for periodic maintenance of the boiler. The installer must also inform the owner that a lack of proper care and maintenance of the boiler may result in a hazardous condition.

BEFORE EACH HEATING SEASON a trained and qualified service technician should perform the inspections as per the boiler inspection and maintenance schedule in this manual.

Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.

The combustion chamber insulation in this product contains ceramic fiber material. Ceramic fibers can be converted to cristobalite in very high temperature applications. The

International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded, “Crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).”

• Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.

• Use a NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95). This type of respirator is based on the OSHA requirements for cristobalite at the time this document was written. Other types of respirators may be needed depending on job site conditions. Current NIOSH recommendations can be found on the NIOSH website: http://www.cdc.gov/ niosh/homepage.html. NIOSH approved respirators, manufacturers, and phone numbers are also listed on this website.

• Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection.

• Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining to prevent dust.

• Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from other clothing. Rinse clothes washer thoroughly.

NIOSH stated First Aid.

• Eye: Irrigate immediately.

• Breathing: Fresh air.

B. Combustion Chamber Coil Cleaning Instructions

*Before beginning this procedure, have on hand the following items:

• a nylon, stainless steel, or brass brush (not steel)

• gloves and eye protection

1. Shut down the boiler by using the following steps: a. Close the gas valve. Shut down the unit, and wait for it to be cool to the touch.

b. Disconnect the condensate piping from the outside connection, (not from the boiler side), so flow from condensate reservoir can be observed.

c. Disconnect electrical connections from the gas valve, spark electrode, flame rectification probe, and combustion blower.

d. Remove the four (4) screws on the aluminum ¾” NPT connector on the right side of the gas valve.

e. Disconnect the wiring connected to the combustion blower motor.

f. Remove the six (6) 10MM nuts from the burner plate assembly.

g. Pull the entire burner plate assembly with blower still attached towards you, while removing or pushing aside any wiring to allow removal of the assembly.

2. Spray the coils liberally with a spray bottle filled with clear tap water. Confine the spray to the area being cleaned. Avoid getting the ceramic target wall wet. If the condensate system is blocked, use a vacuum to clear it.

3. Scrub coils of any buildup with a nylon, stainless steel, or brass brush. Do not use a steel brush. Vacuum the debris from the coils.

4. Spray the coils again with clear tap water. Confine the spray

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

55 to the area being cleaned. Flush the combustion chamber with fresh water until it runs clear from the condensate reservoir.

At this point, the boiler should be ready to be reassembled.

a. Inspect gaskets. b. Reinstall the burner assembly c. Replace and tighten the six (6) 10MM nuts to the burner plate using staggered tightening sequence. (See detail.) d. Reconnect all wiring connections e. Inspect the gas valve. Ensure the O-ring is in place.

f. Replace the four (4) screws on the aluminum connector on the gas valve. Turn the gas back on. (IMPORTANT:

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS!) g. Turn boiler power back on and create a heat demand.

When boiler is lit observe condensate flow from the boiler.

Be sure the boiler is operating properly. h. Reconnect the condensate piping to the outside condensate connection.

Do not use solvents to clean any of the burner components.

The components could be damaged, resulting in unreliable or unsafe boiler operation, substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

system.

3. Thoroughly flush the heat exchanger before commissioning the unit back in service.

D. Maintaining the Condensate System

The condensate trap assembly MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED according to these instructions when operating the boiler.

Operating the boiler without the condensate trap assembly will cause flue gases to leak and result in serious personal injury or death.

When servicing is complete, make sure the condensate collector cap is replaced securely. Failure to do so will cause venting issues that will result in serious injury or death.

1. Ensure the boiler is powered off and has had time to cool.

2. Remove the hose clamp attaching the condensate trap to the condensate hose from the heat exchanger. Remove the clear plastic hose from the hose barb. Remove the condensate hose clamp to detach the condensate trap from the drain tube.

Remove the condensate trap from the boiler.

3. Remove the bottom cap from the condensate trap.

4. Flush trap with fresh water to remove debris from the trap.

NOTE:

Ensure the float moves freely within the trap. If the float does not move, DO NOT reinstall the trap.

5. When the condensate trap is sufficiently clean, reinstall the bottom cap on the trap.

NOTE:

Ensure all parts shown in Figure 29, Condensate Detail, are installed with the condensate trap. If any parts are missing,

DO NOT reinstall the trap. Replace the entire assembly.

Figure 28 - Heat Exchanger Detail

C. Cleaning Water Side of Heat Exchanger

1. Make sure power is turned off to the boiler.

Run water through the hot water system to ensure it is below room temperature.

2. Close isolation valves on the return and supply connections to the boilers as shown in the piping diagrams in this manual. Slowly open the ball valves and release pressure into a bucket. Once pressure is released, connect a hose to the water line to flush the boiler. Scale removing solution may be used, but must be approved for use with stainless steel and FDA approved for use in a potable water

Do not install the condensate assembly if a component is lost or missing. Replace the entire assembly. Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

6. Fill the condensate trap with fresh water prior to reassembly on the boiler.

7. Install the condensate trap on the condensate hose from the heat exchanger. Use the hose clamp to secure the trap.

Attach the clear plastic hose onto the hose barb. Reinstall the condensate hose clamp to detach the condensate trap from the drain tube.

Do not operate the boiler without the clear hose attached from the hose barb to the pressure switch. Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

8. If a condensate neutralizer kit is installed with the boiler, check the assembly when cleaning the condensate trap, and replenish the limestone chips if necessary. When replacing limestone chips, take care to ensure chips are no smaller than

½” to avoid blockage in condensate piping (for piping details, refer to condensate neutralizer installation instruction.)

9. Check condensate piping for sagging and/or leakage. Repair any sags or leaks before restoring power to the boiler.

LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16

56

It is very important that the condensate piping be no smaller than ¾”. To prevent sagging and maintain pitch, condensate piping should be supported with pipe supports, and pitched

¼” per foot to allow for proper drainage. Failure to maintain proper pipe size and pitch could result in condensate leakage and potential water damage to property.

The condensate line must remain unobstructed, allowing free flow of condensate. If condensate freezes in the line, or if line is obstructed in any other manner, condensate can exit from the tee, resulting in potential water damage to property.

10. If the boiler has a condensate pump, ensure the pump operates properly before considering maintenance complete.

Part 14 - Maintenance Report

In unusually dirty or dusty conditions, care must be taken to keep boiler cabinet door in place at all times. Failure to do so

VOIDS the warranty.

Allowing the boiler to operate with a dirty combustion chamber will hurt operation. Failure to clean the heat exchanger as needed by the installation location could result in boiler failure, property damage, personal injury, or death.

Such product failures ARE NOT covered under warranty.

The boiler requires minimal periodic maintenance under normal conditions. However, in unusually dirty or dusty conditions, periodic vacuuming of the cover to maintain visibility of the display and indicators is recommended.

Periodic maintenance should be performed once a year by a qualified service technician to assure that all the equipment is operating safely and efficiently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualified heating contractor for periodic maintenance of the boiler. Installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the boiler may result in a hazardous condition.
