SECTION 1.General Information

1A. IntroductionThis manual provides information for the

installation and operation of Laars volume waterheaters. It is strongly recommended that all applicationand installation procedures be reviewed completelybefore proceeding with the installation. Consult theLaars factory, or local factory representative, with anyproblems or questions regarding this equipment.Experience has shown that most problems are causedby improper installation.

Some accessory items are shipped in separatepackages. Verify receipt of all packages listed on thepackage slip. Inspect everything for possible damageupon delivery, and inform the carrier of any shortagesor impairments. Any such claims should be filed withthe carrier. The carrier, not the shipper, is responsiblefor shortages and damage to the shipment whethervisible or concealed.

WARNINGAll volume water heaters must be installed inaccordance with the procedures outlined in thismanual. The warranty does not apply toheaters not installed or operated in accordancewith these procedures. Consult local buildingand safety codes before proceeding with work.The installation must conform to therequirements of the authority having jurisdictionor, in the absence of such requirements, to thelatest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code;ANS1 Z223.1, National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or in Canada CAN1-B149requirement.When required by the authority havingjurisdiction, the installation must conform toAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineerssafety codes for controls and safety devices forautomatically fired heaters No. CSD-1, and inCanada CGA 3.3. Any modification to the waterheater, its gas controls, gas orifices, wiring ordraft diverter may void the Laars warranty. Iffield conditions require such modifications,consult factory.

LAARS HEATING SYSTEMSPage 4

1C. Flow RequirementsFor proper operation, all low volume hot water

heaters must have continuous flow through the heatexchanger when firing. The system pump must becapable of developing sufficient pressure to overcomethe resistance of the heater plus the entire circulatingsystem at the designed flow rate.

1D. Water ChemistryLaars equipment is designed for use in a wide

variety of water conditions. The water velocitymaintained in the heat exchanger tubes is kept highenough to prevent scaling from hard water and lowenough to avoid corrosion from soft water. Ninety-five percent of the urban areas in the country havewater that is compatible with this equipment, but insome areas a water supply will contain a large quantityof scaling chemicals or the water may be extremelysoft and corrosive. In rare situations the water willcontain both scaling chemicals and corrosivechemicals such as calcium or sodium chloride. Theseconditions may be the result of a nearby well orpumping station and the particular condition may notbe characteristic of the entire city water system.

If an installer observes damage from theseconditions to any water handling equipment in thearea, a factory representative should be contactedimmediately for assistance in minimizing maintenancecosts. If erosion is present, the pump impeller can bereplaced to reduce water velocity. If scaling conditionsare bad, tube cleaning maintenance schedules can beestablished to prevent tube burn-out and cracking.Neglecting the problem could mean serious damage tothe heater and water system.

Scaling can be recognized as a layer depositedon the inner walls of the tube which reduces the innerdiameter of the tube. Scale can be any color or texture;smooth or rough, granular or amorphous. Signs oferosion are generally pitting, cavitation, ridges and“islands” on the inner walls of the tubes. Since thiscondition results from extremely soft water sources, oras a result of a water softening program, the internalcopper surfaces will be extremely shiny. Otherchemicals, such as chlorine or chlorides in the water,will cause dark surfaces of erosion.

In areas where the water supply is extremelycorrosive, it is advisable to order the heater withcupro-nickel tubes in the exchanger.

Damage From Scaling, Corrosion, or Erosionis Not Covered by the Warranty.

SECTION 2.Installation

2A. Heater PlacementThe heater must be placed to provide specific

clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection.There must also be minimum distances maintainedfrom combustible surfaces. These clearances alsoapply to non-combustible materials because the heaterrequires air circulation for proper operation.

Heater should be mounted on a level surface. Anintegral combustible flooring base is provided asstandard equipment on outdoor models. Indoor modelscan be installed on a combustible floor with a specialbase assembly which is available from the factory, orwith a base that complies with local coderequirements. See rating plate for part number of thebase assembly.

Do not install a heater on carpeting.Under the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1, it is permissible to place the heater on floorsother than non-combustible when the installationcomplies with the American Insurance Code. Figures2, 3, 4 and 5 show common installation oncombustible flooring.

2B. Installation of Indoor Heaters1. Locate the water heater to provide adequate

clearance for inspection and service on all sides(see Table I). We recommend minimums of 24"from front (for proper access to and service ofcontrols) and 18" at water connection end. Foralcove installation (see Figure 6).

2. Install the heater on a waterproof floor with anadequate floor drain and a 6" minimum curb onall four sides to protect the building if heaterrepairs are required. The manufacturer will notbe held liable for any water damage inconnection with this heater.

LAARS HEATING SYSTEMSPage 6

2B-1. Combustion Air Supply1. The heater location must provide sufficient air

supply for proper combustion and ventilation ofthe surrounding area as outlined in the latestedition of ANSI standard Z223.1, and any localcodes that may be applicable. Inadequatecombustion air supply may result in incompletecombustion, sooting of the heat exchanger, andunsafe operation of the heater.

2. In general, these requirements specify that smallheater rooms should be provided with twopermanent air supply openings communicatingdirectly through the wall to outside air; onewithin 12 inches of the ceiling, and the otherwithin 12 inches of the floor. Each openingshould have a minimum free area of one squareinch per 4,000 BTUH input of the total inputrating of all appliances in the enclosed area. SeeTable 2 for recommended air supply for eachmodel. An improperly ventilated equipmentroom can get excessively hot and causeaccelerated deterioration of controls andelectrical components.

IMPORTANT: In beauty shops, barber shops,cleaning establishments and self-service laundrieswith dry cleaning equipment, it is important that thewater heater be installed in a location where

combustion and ventilation air is received from asource outside the building. Please refer to the mostrecent edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1, or in Canada, CGA requirements.

3. (a) In the United States: Exhaust Fans or Vents:Any equipment which exhausts air from theheater room can deplete the combustion airsupply or reverse the natural draft action of theventing system. This could cause flue products toaccumulate in the heater room. Additional airmust be supplied to compensate for such exhaust.The information in Table 2 is not applicable ininstallations where exhaust fans or blowers ofany type are used. Such installations must bedesigned by qualified engineers.(b) In Canada: Follow Canadian standard,CANI-B149or local codes.

4. If a blower or fan is used to supply air to theheater room, the installer should make sure itdoes not create drafts which could causenuisance shutdowns of the pilot. If a blower isnecessary to provide adequate combustion air tothe heater, a suitable switch or equivalent mustbe wired into the heater control circuit to preventthe heater from firing unless the blower isoperating.

5. The heater must be completely isolated andprotected from any source of corrosive chemicalfumes such as trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene,chlorine, etc.

2B-2. Venting1. Laars heaters have built-in draft diverters for

natural draft operation and must not beconnected to any portion of a mechanical draftsystem under positive pressure. The flue outletmust be connected to a clear, unobstructed ventof adequate capacity ending above the highestpoint of the building with an approved vent cap.The venting system should be installed accordingto the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1 and/or, inCanada, CAN1-B149 requirement and any localcodes having jurisdiction.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use sheet metalscrews at the snap lock joints of Type B gas vents.

2. Do not weld or fasten the vent pipe to the heaterdraft hood. The weight of the stack must not reston the heater. The draft hood and heater top mustbe easily removable for normal heater serviceand inspection.

3. Avoid using long horizontal runs of the ventpipe, and too many 90° elbows, reductions orrestrictions. Horizontal runs should have at leasta 1/4" rise per foot in the direction of flow. Avent connector should be supported for thedesign and weight of the material used to

*Net Free Area in Square Inches

Area indicated is for one of two openings; one atfloor level and one at the ceiling, so the total netfree area could be double the figures indicated.For special conditions refer to the latest edition ofANSI Z223.1.

Consult factory if not communicating directlythrough the walls with the outdoors.

Note: Check with louver manufacturers for netfree area of louvers. Correct for screenresistance to the net free area if a screen isinstalled. Check all local codes applicable tocombustion air.

Mighty Therm Volume Water Heater Page 7

maintain clearances and prevent physical damageand separation of joints.

4. Avoid ending heater vents near air conditioningor air supply fans. The fans can pick up exhaustflue products from the heater and return theminside the building, creating a possible healthhazard. A minimum of 4 feet horizontal distancemust be maintained from electrical meters, gasmeters, and relief equipment.

5. Always use double-wall or insulated vent pipe(Type B or equivalent). In cold weather,uninsulated outside vents can chill the rising flueproducts, blocking the natural draft action of theventing system. This can create a health hazardby spilling flue products into the heater room.

6. Avoid oversize vent piping or extremely longruns of the pipe which may cause excessivecooling and condensation. Rule of Thumb: Thetotal length of the vent, including the connectorand any offset, should not exceed 15 feet forevery inch of vent diameter. Longer total lengthsshown in venting tables are based on maximumcapacity, not condensation factors.

7. When the installation of a draft fan is necessaryin connecting a venting system to a Laars heater,the installation should be engineered bycompetent personnel following good engineeringpractices. The draft fan supplier should beconsulted for correct size. The installation shouldbe in accordance with the latest edition of ANSIZ223.1 and/or, in Canada, CAN1-B149requirement and any local codes havingjurisdiction. When a draft fan is installed, asuitable draft switch must be wired into theheater control circuit at terminal designated“Field Interlock” to prevent firing of the heaterunless a positive draft has been established.

2C. Installation of Outdoor Heaters1. Locate the heater to provide the minimum

clearances as listed in Table 1, “Placement ofHeater”.

2. Do not place the heater in an enclosure or wallrecess. Avoid locations where wind deflectionoff structures might cause down draft. Whensuch wind conditions are possible, place theheater at least three (3) feet from the structures.

3. Never install the heater under any kind of roofoverhang. Do not place the heater below oradjacent to any doors, windows, louvers, grills,etc. which connect in any way with an inhabitedarea of a building. This includes other structuressuch as garages or utility rooms (see Figure 7).

4. Although these models are AGA and CGAdesigned certified for outdoor installations, suchinstallations are not recommended in areas where

Figure 7. Incorrect Outdoor Installation.

the danger of freezing exists unless properprecautions are taken for freeze protection.

2D. Gas Supply and PipingReview the following instructions before

proceeding with the installation.

1. Verify that the heater is fitted for the proper typeof gas by checking the rating plate. Laars heatersare normally equipped to operate below a 2000foot altitude. Heaters equipped to operate athigher altitudes have appropriate stickers or tagsattached.

2. Use the figures in Table 3 to provide adequategas piping from the gas meter to the heater.

3. A trap (drip leg) must be provided ahead of thegas controls (see Figure 8 ). A manual gasshutoff valve must also be provided for serviceconvenience and safety. Check the local codes.

4. The boiler and its individual shutoff valve must bedisconnected from the gas supply piping systemduring any pressure testing of that system at testpressures in excess of 1/2 psig. The boiler mustbe isolated from the gas supply piping system byclosing its individual manual gas shutoff valveduring any pressure testing of the gas supplypiping system at test pressures equal to or lessthan 1/2 psig.

5. Provide gas supply pressure to the heater asfollows:

Natural Gas LPG

Min. (inches water column)

Max. (inches water column)

Note: The heater and all other gas appliancessharing the heater gas supply line must be firing atmaximum capacity to properly measure the inletsupply pressure. Low gas pressure could be anindication of an undersized gas meter and/orobstructed gas supply line.

6. The correct burner manifold gas pressure isstamped on the rating plate. The regulator ispreset at the factory and normally requires nofurther adjustment.

7. The gas manifold and control assembly wastested and conform to the safe lighting and otherperformance criteria specified in the latesteditions of ANSI Z21.13 and CGA 3.3 LowPressure Boiler Standard.

8. Before operating the boiler, the complete gassupply system and all connections must be testedfor leaks using a soap solution. Do not use rawflame.

Figure 8. T-Fitting Sediment Trap Installation.

Per Rating Plate

9 14

CautionSince some leak test solutions (including soapand water) may cause corrosion or stresscracking, the piping must be rinsed with waterafter testing, unless it has been determinedthat the leak test solution is noncorrosive.

2E. Electrical Wiring

WARNINGThe heater must be electrically grounded inaccordance with the most recent edition of theNational Electrical Code, ANSI/NPA 70. InCanada, all electrical wiring to the heatershould be in accordance with the CanadianElectrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1. Do not relyon the gas or water piping to ground the metalparts of the heater. Oftentimes, plastic pipe ordielectric unions isolate the heater electrically.Service and maintenance personnel who workon or around the heater may be standing onwet floors and could be electrocuted by anunderground heater.

1. Check heater wiring and pump for correctvoltage, frequency and phase. If the pump circuitis other than 115V, check to see that the heater isprovided with an appropriate transformer.

2. Wire the heater and pump exactly as shown inthe wiring diagram supplied with the heater.

3. The pump and heater must be electricallyinterlocked so the heater cannot come on unlessthe pump is running.

4. All field installed electrical safety devices and allfield installed devices (draft switches, relays,timers, outdoor temperature reset devices, etc.)can be connected to the heater wiring at pointsshown in the wiring diagram designated “FieldInterlock”.

2F. Water Piping of System1. Be sure to provide valves at the inlet and outlet

of the boiler so it can be readily isolated forservice. A butterfly or similar type of valve isrecommended.

2. The pressure relief valve installed in the tappedopening provided in the outlet header (seeFigure 9), must be piped, but not fastened, to adrain or floor sink. The drain pipe must be thesame size as the valve outlet and must pitchdownward from the valve.

Page 9: Installation and Operation Instructions for Mighty Therm · 2012. 1. 4. · Sizes 500-1825 These instructions are to be stored in the pocket provided on the boiler. ... Introduction

Mighty Therm Volume Water Heater Page 9

Special attention must be given to relief valvesettings in installations where the heater islocated on the ground floor of a tall building.The static pressure of the system is elevated andcould cause the relief valve to leak. Where nospecial setting of the relief valve is ordered, thefactory will furnish a 125 psi setting. Neverreduce the relief valve openings.

3. Pressure relief valve lever must be tripped atleast once a year to insure that waterways areclean. When manually operating lever, water willdischarge through drain line. Precautions must betaken to avoid contact with hot water and waterdamage.

4. The weight of all water and gas piping should besupported by suitable hangers or floor stands.

5. Check piping diagrams with local applicableplumbing, heating and building safety codes.

6. All two-temperature systems using temperaturevalves must have forced recirculation in the lowtemperature building loop.

7. A check valve installed at the hot water inlet tothe tempering valve will prevent cold water frombeing drawn in reverse through the temperingvalve into the hot water.

8. When installing a tempering valve, place atbottom of antithermosyphon loop at least 24"high to prevent excessive hot water fromentering mixed water supply. Bring the coldwater supply up from the floor to the valve (seeFigure 10).

2G. Water ExpansionWhen cold water is heated the water expands. If

no water is being used during the heat-up period theexpanded water will normally back up into the citymains.

A water pressure reducing valve installed in theincoming cold water line may act as a check valve andprevent the expanded water from moving backward.This will cause pressure to rise in the heater, whichwill be relieved by the pressure relief valve.

If the relief valve pops frequently a mineraldeposit may build up on the valve seat, causing it toleak.

The following suggestions may solve the problem:

1. Install a properly sized expansion tank.

2. Replace the installed water pressure reducing valvewith a suitable valve having a back flow port. Thesevalves have a back flow port which allows waterto flow backwards when the pressure in the systemexceeds the pressure in the mains.

3. Install a check valve around the pressure reducingvalve to permit reverse flow. This will allowthe expanded water to back flow into the mains.

4. Install an auxiliary small relief valve set at 25 psiless than the main relief valve. The valve must bepiped to a drain and may require occasionalcleaning. It will bleed off the expanded waterand protect the main pressure relief valve frombecoming fouled.

2H. Pump Performance and Installation1. The factory provided pump on PW heaters and

the recommended field provided pump formodel VW heaters are sized to provide propercirculation through the heater and heater-to-tank circulation loop (see Figures 11 and 12). Ifthe heater-to-tank circulating loop does notcontain more than 6 elbows or 30 feet ofpipe, use pipe fittings in the loop no smallerthan the following:

Model Pipe Size

500 through 850 2"1010 through 1825 2-1/2"

If the heater-to-tank circulating loop containsmore than 6 elbows or 30 feet of pipe, use pipeor fittings in the loop no smaller than thefollowing:

Model Pipe Size

500 through 850 2-1/2"1010 through 1825 3"

To assure free circulation, do not use globevalves, side outlet tee connections or otherrestrictive fittings in heater-to-tank loop.

2. The Model IW heater is designed for use in asystem without a hot water storage tank. The hotwater supply line to usage point must have areturn leg to the heater (see Figure 13, 14 and15). A built-in circulating pump and internal heatexchanger bypass maintains the heater in astandby condition. It also maintains thetemperature at the controller setting of the waterin the entire building circulating loop whether ornot there is any use of hot water.

A separate circulating pump is required forcirculation of water in the building loop. Thecontrol system provides variable heat inputs tomatch periods of higher or lower waterconsumption.

3. The Model IW heater requires a minimum ofcirculating hot water in the building circulationloop. To prevent excessive temperaturefluctuations in the delivered water, the wholebuilding system, including the return loop, musthave the equivalent volume of pipe shownbelow:

MinimumReservoir Equivalent Pipe

Model IW Gallons* Size and Length

500 through 850 ...............6.3 ................. 1 1/4" x 100 ft.1010 through 1220 .........10.2 ................. 1 1/2" x 100 ft.1430 through 1670 .........17.0 ....................... 2" x 100 ft.1825 ................................ 27.0 ................. 2 1/2" x 100 ft.

* The gallons shown are the calculated volumes of the pipes.

4. Model VW, PW and IW heaters are not suitablefor heating swimming pools or any otherapplication where temperature of the waterflowing through the heater remains below thedew point (110°F).

In applications requiring the rapid use ofmeasured volumes of water, the recovery of theheater between the time intervals of use mustequal the volume used. See the recovery table inthe current Document 2045 (Submittal Data).

5. Pump Sizing: A suitable pump must be field-provided for circulation of water between ModelVW heaters and the storage tank. This pumpmust be sized to avoid excessive temperature riseand to provide correct flow for water hardnessconditions. Specifications in Table 4 includeallowance for 30 feet of piping and normalfittings between heater and tank.

6. Install pump in a cool location. When pump isinstalled where it is subjected to excessive heat,the life of the pump will be shortened. Heat willembrittle motor insulation and dry out bearinglubricants. If the pump motor is equipped withthermal protection, excessive heat may trip thethermal switch and shut down the pumpintermittently. This could result in rapid scalingof the heater.

IMPORTANT: Check oil level in pump beforestarting. Oil pump every three (3) months. Fill bearingassembly to lower level of overflow vent. Add five (5)or six (6) drops of oil to front and rear of motor. Use20W non-detergent oil. Pumps located in excessivelyhot or dusty locations should be oiled once a month.Self lubricating pumps do not require oiling.

7. The pump should be accessible for lubrication,inspection and service.

8. If pump is designed for floor mounting, installsecurely on concrete block or pad at least six (6)inches above floor level. This will preventflooding of motor when floor is washed. Be surethat floor mounted pumps are not suspendedfrom piping and that piping is plumbed to avoidstrain on the pump casing.

2I. Water PressureIt is very important that water pressure in the

system be maintained above 30 psi. If the systempressure should drop below this, the vapor pressure ofwater in the suction side of the pump can causehammer and cavitation in the pump and damage theheater through lack of water circulation. If for anyreason the water supply is turned off temporarily toservice a piece of equipment, the manual gas valveon the Model IW should be closed until the waterpressure has been restored and the lines bled ofaccumulated air. If the heater fails to fire when it isturned back on, it may be airlocked. To eliminate theairlock, open the pressure relief valve and allow air tobleed out until water flows. As soon as full circulationis resumed, the entrained air will be carried outthrough the hot water faucets.

2J. Tank Installation1. Be sure the floor is waterproof and structurally

capable of supporting the tank when it is filledwith water.

2. The tank should be placed so that manholes,inspection covers, nameplates and drain valvesare accessible.

3. Be sure the tank is suitable for the water in thesystem. Some water is corrosive and requires aprotected tank with a special lining.

4. If the tank is glass-lined, it should be equippedwith a suitable magnesium anode. It is goodpractice to replace the anode when it isapproximately 50% used. The factory warrantyon a glass-lined tank will be void if a satisfactoryanode is not in place at the time of a failure or ifit is consumed by cathodic action.

5. Make sure the tank connections in the heater-tank circulating loop are the proper size as listedin Section 2H. If tappings are smaller than therecommended pipe size, a larger pump may berequired. Consult the factory if in doubt.

6. Install a pipe in the tank drain fitting that goes toa floor sink, and install a drain valve. If a floorsink is not available, install a hose bib.

7. Hot water tanks in an existing installation arelikely to have a deposit of silt on the bottom.Therefore, it is important to extend the pumpsuction pipe in the tank to a position near the top.Pipe the return from the heater to the bottom ofthe tank.

2K. Two-Temperature SystemSee Figures 16 and 17 for piping schematics.

This system is designed to maintain the temperedwater circulating loop at the desired temperatureduring idle periods as well as when there is a demandfor hot water. It is recommended for general purposewater supply including shower and bathingapplications. Water at 180°F is available directly fromthe tank.

proven to be lit. Whenever the pilot flame isinterrupted, the main gas valve closes within0.8 seconds.

b. Electronically Supervised Standing PilotSystem (System #16):

When pilot flame fails, the ignition controlmodule responds in less than 0.8 secondsand provides 100% safety shutdown.

2. Operating Controls:

a. Electrically Operating Controls:

Single, two-stage, four-stage or modulatingaquastats are provided in models VW, PWand IW heaters to control the desiredservice water temperature. The temperaturesensing bulb is located in the heater inlet.

b. Modu-snap Valves:

These valves are furnished in addition tothe main electric gas valve when heater isordered with mechanical modulation. Eachvalve has a remote capillary bulb immersedin a well at the outlet header to maintain aconstant outlet temperature. Consult Table5 for desired temperature setting.

3. High Limit Controls:

The manual reset high limit switches areprovided as standard equipment on all heaters.Automatic reset switches are optionally

provided. The temperature sensing bulb of theswitch is always located in the heater outlet.Burners will automatically shut down wheneveroverheating of water occurs.

4. Flow Switch:Standard on all models: Models VW and PW, theswitch is mounted in the outlet “tee” connection.Model IW, the switch is mounted directly in theheader outlet. The flow switch shuts down allburners in case of low water condition or pumpfailure.

5. Low Water Cut Off:The low water cut off automatically shuts offheater whenever water level drops below probe.Located at heater inlet (model IW and PW) andat return header (model VW).

3B. Initial Start-UpBefore placing the heater in operation, be certain

that the heater is filled with water and all air is purgedfrom the system. Once the heater is connected to the

gas supply, the automatic safety shutoff devices mustbe checked.1. Before beginning the tests, make sure the main

manual gas valve, and any other heater firingvalves are in the “OFF” position.

2. Make sure the heater’s power switch is in the“ON” position. After placing the manual pilotgas valve in the open position and resetting allsafety devices, (high limit, pressure switch, low-water cutoff, etc.) pilot(s) can be lit following theprocedure located on the heater rating plate.

3. Once the pilot(s) is lit and has been establishedfor five minutes, the flame failure response timeshould be checked as follows:Systems 9 and 4 - (Intermittent ignition): With

this system pilots are automatically lit when theoperating controls call for heat. If the pilot flame failsfor any reason, the main valve is shut off within onesecond and the pilot spark ignition is initiated until thepilot flame has been reestablished. On propanesystems, unit locks out for safety. This sequenceshould be checked by turning off the manual pilot gasvalve, and, at the same time, monitoring the audiblesparking at the pilot burner and signal interruption tothe main valve.

CautionPropane gas is heavier than air and sinks tothe ground. Exercise extreme care in lightingthe heater when so equipped.

System 16 - (Electronically supervised standingpilot system): Extinguish the pilot flame by placingthe manual pilot valve in the closed position, and atthe same time, begin recording the time it takes for theoutput signal from the electronic ignition control to beinterrupted. The signal interruption can be detectedeither with a test light or a voltmeter. The responsetime should never exceed one second.

4. With the pilots lit, initial activation of the mainburners can be achieved by slowly opening themain manual valve. The result should be asmooth lighting of the main burners.

Hi-Limit Checkout:After running the heater for a long enough

period, bring the water temperature within the range ofthe hi-limit and slowly back off the high limit settinguntil the heater shuts off. The main burners shouldreignite when the hi-limit is reset and turned back upto its original setting. The heater should now run untilit shuts off automatically on operating aquastat.

3C. To Start Up System:1. Start Up BoilerBe certain system pump is running, then proceed

as follows:

a. Turn off main electrical switch.b. Turn off all manual gas valves and wait five

minutes (see Figure 19).c. Set operating control to lowest setting.d. Slowly turn manual gas valve to “ON”.e. Reset all safety valve switches (manual reset

high limit and low water cut off).f. Open manual pilot valve. Turn on main electrical

switch.g. Set temperature controller to desired

temperature. Pilot will light automatically toignite main burners whenever the aquastat callsfor heat.For standing pilot system, press on pilot relay

knob, see Figure 20, light pilot and keep relay knob

depressed for one minute then release. Once the pilotis lit, the power is supplied through the aquastat to themain gas valve.

2. To set the temperature and high-limit controls:When using a tank aquastat:Set the tank aquastat to the desired tank

temperature. Set the heater temperature control 20°Fhigher than tank aquastat. Set the manual reset highlimit 50°F higher than tank aquastat. Example: Ifdesired temperature is 140°F, set the tank aquastat at140°F, set the heater temperature control at 160°F, andset the manual reset high limit at 190°F. If the heateris equipped with a pump time delay, the three-positionswitch on the side of the heater can be put into the“Auto Pump” pposition, so that the pump will onlyrun when the tank aquastat calls for heat. then, whenthe call for heat is satisfied, the heater will turn off,but the pump will run for the set amount of delay time(adjustable between 0.1 and 10 minutes).

When a tank aquastat is not used:The pump on the heater must run continuously,

so the heater's temperature control will sense the tank'swater temperature. Set the heater temperature controlto the desired tank temperature. Set the manual resethigh limit 50°F higher than the heater temperaturecontrol. Example: If desired temperature is 140°F, setthe heater temperature control at 140°F, and set themanual reset high limit at 190°F.

3D. To Turn Off Heater:1. Turn off main electric switch.2. Close all manual gas valves.

3E. To Shut Down System:To shut down heater, turn off all manual gas

valves and electrical disconnect switches. Wheneverdanger of freezing exists, shut off water supply andremove drain plug in the bottom of front header cover.Drain every part of system subject to freezingtemperature.

SECTION 4.Maintenance1. Lubricate the water circulating pump (see

instructions found on the pump).

2. If a strainer is employed in a pressure reducingvalve or in piping, clean it every six (6) months.

3. At start-up and every six (6) months thereafter,the pilot and main burner flame should beobserved for proper performance (see Figure 21).See attached lighting and shut-down instructionsfor proper pilot flame pattern). If flame has the

appearance of “sooting” tips, check for debrisnear orifices. Call serviceman.

4. Inspect the venting system for obstruction,leakage and corrosion at least once each year.

5. Keep heater area clear and free from combustiblematerial, gasoline and other flammable vaporsand liquids (see Table 1 for minimumclearances).

6. Be certain all combustion air and ventilationopenings are unobstructed.

7. Check for fouling on the external surfaces of theheat exchanger every six months. (NOTE: Afterinstallation and first start-up, check the heatexchanger for fouling after the following periodsof operation: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days,and once every six months thereafter).

Fouling on the external surfaces of the heatexchanger is caused by incomplete combustionand is a sign of combustion air and/or ventingproblems. As soon as any fouling is observed,the cause of the fouling should be corrected (seeSection 5, Troubleshooting Guide). The heatexchanger can be checked by locating a mirrorunder the burners with a flashlight. An alternatemethod is to remove the venting and top panel asnecessary to inspect from above. Also check thevent system for defects at this time.a. If cleaning is required, shut off all electrical

and gas supply to the heater.b. To expose the heat exchanger:Indoor Models:Remove flue pipe, top of unit, rear upper jacket,flue collector rear panel and heat exchangerbaffles.Outdoor Models:Remove vent top assembly, rear upper jacket,flue collector rear panel and heat exchangerbaffles.c. Remove all burners:It is usually more convenient to remove theburner tray assembly. Disconnect sensor wire,ignition cable (or thermocouple generator) andpilot gas line. Disconnect manifold inletunion(s). Remove the four (4) retaining screws.Grasp burner/pilot assembly firmly at the front.Push it back, disengaging it from the gas orifice.

Lower the front of the burner (to avoid damagingpilot shield) then remove the burner tray.

CautionBlack carbon or green soot on a dirty heatexchanger can, under certain conditions, beignited by a random spark or open flame. Toprevent this unlikely occurrence, dampen thesoot deposits with wet brush or fine waterspray before servicing or cleaning the heatexchanger.

With a wire brush, remove soot and loose scalefrom heat exchanger. Clean fallen debris frombottom of heater. Make sure burner ports areclear and pilot assembly is free of debris.d. Reassemble in reverse order:Be sure the heat exchanger baffles are replaced.

8. The gas and electric controls installed on heatersare engineered for both dependable operationand long life, but the safety of this equipmentcompletely depends on their proper functioning.It is strongly recommended that the basic itemsbe checked by a competent serviceman everyyear and replaced when necessary. The basiccontrols are:a. Water temperature controls.b. Pilot safety system.c. Automatic electric gas valve(s).d. Flow sensing safety device.

9. Low water cutoffs should be inspected every six(6) months, including flushing of float types.

NOTE: Warranty does not cover any damagecaused by lack of required maintenance or improperoperating practices.10. Both modulating and stage valve are adjusted at

the factory for minimum permissible rates andshould not be readjusted.

SECTION 5.Troubleshooting and Analysis ofService Problems1. For proper service and problem diagnosis of the

heater and heater system, the following tools arerequired:a. Gas pressure test kit with range from zero

to 14 W.C. Either a slack tub manometer oran accurate gas pressure gauge isacceptable with proper adapters which willconnect to the available fittings in the lineand on the gas valve.

b. Multi-meter with the following ranges:0 to 500 volts A.C.0 to 1000 ohms continuity.

c. Tube cleaning kit consisting of reamer,stainless steel brush, speed handle andhandle extensions.
