extending at least 24" beyond the unit sides. Place tiles or  
blocks so that the holes line up horizontally to provide a clear  
passage through the tiles or blocks. Place a 1/2" fireproof  
millboard over the top of the tile or block base. Place a 20-  
gauge sheet metal cover over the fireproof millboard. Center  
the unit on the base. Also follow this procedure if electrical  
conduit runs through the floor beneath the unit. This base must  
meet all local fire and safety codes.  
ƽ CAUTION: A mechanical room operating  
under a negative pressure may experience a  
down draft in the flue of a boiler which is not  
firing. The cold outside air pulled down the flue  
may freeze a heat exchanger. This condition  
must be corrected to provide adequate freeze  
protection.  
Hydronic System Antifreeze  
TABLE - A  
Freeze protection for a heating boiler or hot water supply

Outdoor Boiler Installation  
Adequate hydronic system antifreeze must be used. A snow  
screen should be installed to prevent snow and ice  
accumulation around the unit or its venting system.  
FREEZE PROTECTION  
Shut-Down and Draining  
Although these units are CSA International design certified for  
outdoor installations, such installations are not recommended  
in areas where the danger of freezing exists. You must provide  
proper freeze protection for outdoor installations, units  
installed in unheated mechanical rooms or where temperatures  
may drop to the freezing point or lower. If freeze protection is  
not provided for the system, a low ambient temperature alarm  
is recommended for the mechanical room. Damage to the unit  
by freezing is non-warrantable.  
Anytime the temperature measured at any of the sensors  
(except the outside air temperature sensor) drops below 40°F,  
the control turns on the pump contact and the alarm relay. The  
pump will shut off when both sensors are above 50°F.  
If for any reason, the unit is to be shut off, the following  
precautionary measures must be taken:  
1. Shut off gas supply.  
2. Shut off water supply.  
3. Shut off electrical supply  
4. Drain the unit completely. Remove one threaded plug or  
bulbwell from the inlet side of the front header and one  
from the outlet side of the front header on the heat  
exchanger. Blow all water out of the heat exchanger (see  
Figure 3).  
5. Drain pump and piping.  
Pump Operation  
This unit is equipped with a pump delay of 30 seconds. If  
continuous operation of the pump is desired, the pump must be  
electrically connected to another circuit. Connection of the  
pump to this unit will provide intermittent pump delay  
operation.  
Location  
Locate indoor boilers and hot water supply boilers in a room  
having a temperature safely above freezing [32°F (0°C)].

Installing Combustion Air Filter  
1. Use only properly diluted inhibited glycol antifreeze  
designed for hydronic systems. Inhibited propylene glycol  
is recommended for systems where incidental contact with  
drinking water is possible.  
To install the filter(s), remove the combustion air inlet panel(s).  
The 985,000 - 1,435,000 Btu/hr models have one combustion air  
inlet panel located on the left front of the unit (see Figure 4). The  
1,795,000 and 2,065,000 Btu/hr models have two combustion air  
inlet panels located on the left and right front of the unit (see  
Figure 5).  
ƽ WARNING: Do not use undiluted or  
automotive type antifreeze.  
1. Loosen knurled knob at the bottom of the control panel  
cover.  
2. Pull the bottom of the panel(s) out and down to remove.  
3. Place filter(s) in opening(s).  
4. Replace combustion air inlet panel(s).  
2. A solution of 50% antifreeze will provide maximum  
protection of approximately -30°F.  
3. Follow the instructions from the antifreeze manufacturer.  
Quantity of antifreeze required is based on total system  
volume including expansion tank volume.  
4. Glycol is denser than water and changes the viscosity of  
the system. The addition of glycol will decrease heat  
transfer and increase frictional loss in the boiler and related  
piping. A larger pump with more capacity (15% to 25%  
more) may be required to maintain desired flow rates and  
prevent a noise problem in a glycol system.  
5. Local codes may require a back flow preventer or actual  
disconnect from city water supply when antifreeze is  
added to the system.

General Information  
You must supply adequate combustion and ventilation air to  
this unit. You must provide minimum clearances for the vent  
terminal from adjacent buildings, windows that open, and  
building openings. Follow all requirements set forth in the  
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in  
Canada, the latest edition of CAN/CGA Standard B149  
Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment  
or applicable local building codes. Vent installations for  
connection to gas vents or chimneys must be in accordance  
with Part 7, "Venting of Equipment" of the above-mentioned  
standards.  
IMPORTANT: Examine the venting system at  
least once each year. Check all joints and vent  
pipe connections for tightness. Also check for  
corrosion or deterioration. If you find any  
problems, correct them at once.  
Figure 9 - Combustion Air from Interior Space  
All dimensions are based on net free area in square inches.  
Metal louvers or screens reduce the free area of a combustion  
air opening a minimum of approximately 25%. Check with  
louver manufacturers for exact net free area of louvers. Where  
two openings are provided, one must be within 12" (30 cm) of  
the ceiling and one must be within 12" (30 cm) of the floor of  
the mechanical room. Each opening must have a minimum net  
free area as specified in TABLE-C, page 12. Single openings  
shall be installed within 12" (30 cm) of the ceiling.  
Venting Support  
Support horizontal portions of the venting system to prevent  
sagging. Provide an upward slope of at least 1/4 inch per foot  
(21mm/m) on all horizontal runs from the unit to the vertical  
flue run or to the vent terminal on sidewall venting  
installations.  
The combustion air supply must be completely free of any  
flammable vapors that may ignite or chemical fumes which  
may be corrosive to the appliance. Common corrosive  
chemical fumes which must be avoided are fluorocarbons and  
other halogenated compounds, most commonly present as  
refrigerants or solvents, such as Freon, trichlorethylene,  
perchlorethylene, chlorine, etc. These chemicals, when  
burned, form acids which quickly attack the heat exchanger  
finned tubes, headers, flue collectors, and the vent system. The  
result is improper combustion and a non-warrantable,  
premature appliance failure.  
Do not use an existing chimney as a raceway if another  
appliance or fireplace is vented through the chimney. The  
weight of the venting system must not rest on the unit. Provide  
adequate support of the venting system. Follow all local and  
applicable codes. Secure and seal all vent connections. Follow  
the installation instructions from the vent material  
manufacturer.  
Vertical Vent Termination Clearances  
and Location  
The vent terminal should be vertical and exhaust outside the  
building at least 2 feet (0.61m) above the highest point of the  
roof within a 10 foot (3.05m) radius of the termination.  
Exhaust Fans  
Any fan or equipment which exhausts air from the boiler room  
may deplete the combustion air supply and/or cause a down  
draft in the venting system. Spillage of flue products from the  
venting system into an occupied living space can cause a very  
hazardous condition that must be corrected immediately. If a  
fan is used to supply combustion air to the boiler room, the  
installer must make sure that it does not cause drafts which  
could lead to nuisance operational problems with the boiler.  
The vertical termination must be a minimum of 3 feet (0.91m)  
above the point of exit.  
A vertical termination less than 10 feet (3.05m) from a parapet  
wall must be a minimum of 2 feet (0.61m) higher than the  
parapet wall.

Continued  
All units are shipped from the factory equipped for  
conventional negative draft venting. All other optional vent  
systems require the installation of specific vent kits and

The preferred location for the barometric damper is in a tee or  
collar installed in the vertical pipe rising from the unit’s flue  
outlet. The barometric damper MUST NOT be installed in a  
bull head tee installed on the unit’s flue outlet. The tee or collar  
containing the barometric damper should be approximately  
three feet vertically above the connection to the unit’s flue  
outlet. This location ensures that any positive velocity pressure  
from the unit’s internal combustion fan is dissipated and the  
flue products are rising due to buoyancy generated from the  
temperature of the flue products. Adjust weights on damper to  
ensure that draft is maintained within the specified ranges.  
Vent System Options  
This unit has two venting options.  
1. Conventional Negative Draft Venting  
This option uses a vertical rooftop flue termination.  
Combustion air is supplied from the mechanical room. See

Flue Outlet Piping  
1. Conventional Negative Draft  
Venting  
With this venting option, you must use Type-B double-wall (or  
equivalent) vent materials. Vent materials must be listed by a  
nationally-recognized test agency for use as vent materials.  
Make the connections from the unit vent to the outside stack as  
direct as possible with no reduction in diameter. Use the  
National Fuel Gas Code venting tables for double-wall vent to  
properly size all vent connectors and stacks. Follow the vent  
manufacturer's instructions when installing Type-B vents and  
accessories, such as firestop spacers, vent connectors,  
thimbles, caps, etc.  
IMPORTANT: Before installing a venting system,  
follow all venting clearances and requirements  
found in the Venting, General Information  
section, page 10.  
Provide adequate clearance to combustibles for the vent  
connector and firestop.  
When planning the venting system, avoid possible contact with  
plumbing or electrical wiring inside walls, ceilings, and floors.  
Locate the unit as close as possible to a chimney or gas vent.  
Avoid long horizontal runs of the vent pipe, 90° elbows,  
reductions and restrictions.  
No additional draft diverter or barometric damper is required  
on single unit installations with a dedicated stack and a  
negative draft maintained between 0.02 to 0.08 inches w.c.  
Figure 14 - Conventional Negative Draft Vertical Venting  
with Combustion Air Louvers  
This option uses Type-B double-wall flue outlet piping. The  
blower brings in combustion air. The buoyancy of the heated  
flue products cause them to rise up through the flue pipe. The  
flue outlet terminates at the rooftop.  
Common Venting Systems  
You can combine the flue with the vent from any other  
negative draft, Category I appliance. Using common venting  
for multiple negative draft appliances requires you to install a  
barometric damper with each unit. This will regulate draft  
within the proper range. You must size the common vent and  
connectors from multiple units per the venting tables for Type-  
B double-wall vents in the latest edition of the National Fuel  
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CGA-B149 Installation  
Code.  
Negative Draft  
The negative draft in a conventional vent installation must be  
within the range of 0.02 to 0.08 inches w.c. to ensure proper  
operation. Make all draft readings while the unit is in stable  
operation (approximately 2 to 5 minutes).  
Connect the flue vent directly to the flue outlet opening on the  
top of the unit. No additional draft diverter or barometric  
damper is needed on single unit installations with a dedicated  
stack and a negative draft within the specified range of 0.02 to  
0.08 inches w.c. If the draft in a dedicated stack for a single  
unit installation exceeds the maximum specified draft, you  
must install a barometric damper to control draft. Multiple unit  
installations with combined venting or common venting with  
other Category I negative draft appliances require each boiler  
to have a barometric damper installed to regulate draft within  
the proper range.  
Do not connect vent connectors serving appliances vented by  
natural draft (negative draft) to any portion of a mechanical  
draft system operating under positive pressure. Connecting to  
a positive pressure stack may cause flue products to be  
discharged into the living space causing serious health injury.  
Common venting systems may be too large when an existing  
unit is removed.  
At the time of removal of an existing appliance, the following  
steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining  
connected to the common venting system placed in operation,  
while other appliances remaining connected to the common  
venting system are not in operation.  
1. Seal any unused opening in the common venting system.  
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and  
horizontal pitch. Make sure there is no blockage or  
restriction, leakage, corrosion and other unsafe conditions.  
3. If possible, close all building doors and windows. Close all  
doors between the space in which the appliances remaining  
connected to the common venting system are located and  
other building spaces.

Inspection of a Masonry Chimney  
A masonry chimney must be carefully inspected to determine  
INSTALLATION  
Continued  
its suitability for the venting of flue products. A clay-tile-lined  
chimney must be structurally sound, straight and free of  
misaligned tile, gaps between liner sections, missing sections  
of liner or any signs of condensate drainage at the breeching or  
clean out. If there is any doubt about the condition of a  
masonry chimney, it must be relined with a properly-sized and  
approved chimney liner system. An unlined masonry chimney  
must not be used to vent flue products from this high-  
efficiency unit. An unlined chimney must be relined with an  
approved chimney liner system when a new appliance is  
being attached to it. Metallic liner systems (Type-B double-  
wall or flexible or rigid metallic liners) are recommended.  
Consult with local code officials to determine code  
requirements or the advisability of using or relining a masonry  
4. Turn on clothes dryers and any other appliances not  
connected to the common venting system. Turn on any  
exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so  
they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a  
summer exhaust fan.  
5. Close fire place dampers.  
6. Place in operation the unit being inspected. Follow the  
lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so unit will operate  
continuously.  
7. 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, cigar or pipe.  
8. After making sure that each appliance remaining chimney.  
connected to the common venting system properly vents

9. Correct any improper operation of the common venting  
system so that the installation conforms to the latest edition  
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada,  
the latest edition of CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code for  
Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment. When resizing  
any portion of the common venting system, resize to  
approach the minimum size as determined using the  
appropriate tables of the latest edition of the National Fuel  
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of  
CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning  
Appliances and Equipment.  
Follow all vertical venting termination information for  
clearances and location under Vertical Vent Termination  
Clearances and Location, page 10.  
2. Outdoor Installation Venting  
IMPORTANT: Before installing a venting system,  
follow all venting clearances and requirements  
found in the Venting, General Information section,  
page 10.  
Units are self-venting and can be used outdoors when installed  
with the optional outdoor caps. These caps mount directly to the  
unit and cover the flue outlet and combustion air inlet openings.  
No additional vent piping is required.  
Masonry Chimney Installations  
A masonry chimney must be properly sized for the installation  
of a high efficiency gas-fired appliance. Venting of a high  
efficiency appliance into a cold or oversized masonry chimney  
can result in operational and safety problems. Exterior  
masonry chimneys, with one or more sides exposed to cold  
outdoor temperatures, are more likely to have venting  
problems. The temperature of the flue products from a high  
efficiency appliance may not be able to sufficiently heat the  
masonry structure of the chimney to generate proper draft. This  
will result in condensing of flue products, damage to the  
masonry flue/tile, insufficient draft and possible spillage of  
flue products into an occupied living space. Carefully inspect  
all chimney systems before installation.  
ƽ WARNING: Only install outdoor models  
outdoors and only use the vent caps supplied by  
the appliance manufacturer. Personal injury or  
product damage may result if any other cap is  
used or if an outdoor model is used indoors.  
Properly install all covers, doors and jacket panels  
to ensure proper operation and prevent a  
hazardous condition.  
Combustion air supply must be free of contaminants (see  
Combustion and Ventilation Air, page 8). To prevent recirculation  
of the flue products into the combustion air inlet, follow all  
instructions in this section.

Installation and  
Service Manual  
Flue gas condensate can freeze on exterior walls or on the vent  
cap. Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked  
flue condition. Some discoloration to exterior building or unit  
surfaces can be expected. Adjacent brick or masonry surfaces  
should be protected with a rust resistant sheet metal plate.  
Outdoor Vent/Air Inlet Location  
Keep venting areas free of obstructions. Keep area clean and free  
of combustible and flammable materials. Maintain a minimum  
clearance of 3" (76mm) to combustible surfaces and a minimum  
of 3" (76mm) clearance to the air inlet. To avoid a blocked air  
inlet or blocked flue condition, keep the air inlet, flue outlet and  
drain slot clear of snow, ice, leaves, debris, etc.  
The Outdoor Vent Kit  
The optional outdoor vent kit is available from the appliance  
manufacturer. The outdoor kit part numbers are listed by unit  
size. See TABLE-D for kit numbers.  
You can install the outdoor vent cap and combustion air inlet  
panel(s) on the unit (see Figures 15 and 16).  
Do not install outdoor models directly on the ground. You must  
install the outdoor unit on a concrete, brick, block, or other  
non-combustible pad.  
Do not locate unit so that high winds can deflect off of adjacent  
walls, buildings or shrubbery causing recirculation.  
Recirculation of flue products may cause operational  
problems, bad combustion or damage to controls. Locate unit  
at least 3 feet (0.91m) from any wall or vertical surface to  
prevent wind conditions from affecting performance.  
Multiple outdoor unit installations require 48" (1.22m)  
clearance between each vent cap. Locate the outdoor cap at  
least 48" (1.22m) below and 48" (1.22m) horizontally from  
any window, door, walkway or gravity air intake.  
Locate the unit at least 10 feet (3.05m) away from any forced  
air inlet.  
Locate the unit at least 3 feet (0.91m) outside any overhang.  
Clearances around outdoor installations can change with time.  
Do not allow the growth of trees, shrubs or other plants to  
obstruct the proper operation of the outdoor vent system.  
Do not install in locations where rain from building runoff  
drains will spill onto the unit.

Combination Gas Valves  
Checking Gas Supply Pressure  
These units fire in up to 2 stages of burner input. Each stage of  
burner operation has a combination gas valve or series of gas  
valves to cycle the gas supply on and off and regulate gas to the  
burners. Each combination valve consists of a gas regulator and  
two valve seats to meet the requirements for redundant gas  
valves. The valve has a gas control knob that must remain in the  
open position at all times when the unit is in service. The gas  
control valve has pressure taps located on the inlet and discharge  
sides of the valve. Manifold pressure is adjusted using the  
regulator located on the valve. A manifold gas pressure tap for  
each burner stage is located on the discharge side of the valve.  
Use the following procedure to check gas supply pressure.  
1. Turn the main power switch to the "OFF" position.  
2. Turn gas valve knobs to the "OFF" position.  
3. Shut off gas supply at the field-installed manual gas cock  
in the gas piping to the unit. If fuel supply is L.P. gas, shut  
off gas supply at the tank.  
4. Remove the 1/8" hex plug, located on “inlet” side of the  
gas valve. You may also use a tapping on the field-installed  
main manual gas cock or gas piping. Install a fitting in the  
inlet pressure tapping suitable to connect to a manometer  
or magnahelic gauge. Range of scale should be 14" w.c. or  
greater to check inlet pressure.  
The manifold pressure is preset at the factory and adjustment  
is not usually required. If you must adjust regulator pressure,  
follow the instructions under Gas Manifold Pressure  
Adjustment, page 19.  
5. Turn on gas supply at the manual gas cock, turn on L.P. gas  
at tank if required.  
6. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position.  
Venting of Combination Gas Valves  
7. Turn the gas valve knobs to the “ON” position. Set the  
electronic temperature control or thermostat to call for

8. Observe the gas supply pressure as all burners are firing.  
Ensure that inlet pressure is within the specified range. See  
Connecting To Gas Supply, page 16 for minimum and  
maximum gas supply pressures.  
The combination gas valve/regulator used on all units is  
equipped with an integral vent limiting orifice per ANSI  
Z21.78. The vent limiter ensures that the volume of gas  
emitted from the valve does not exceed the maximum safe  
leakage rate allowed by agency requirements. Combination  
gas valve/regulators equipped with integral vent limiters are

Low Water Cutoff  
(If Equipped)  
If installing this unit above radiation level, you must install a  
low water cut-off device at the time of appliance installation.  
Electronic or float type low water cutoff controls are available  
as a factory supplied option on all units. Inspect the low water  
cutoff every six months, including flushing of float types. The  
low water cutoff control is located on the control panel directly  
behind the control panel cover.  
The reset and test buttons (if equipped) are located on the  
control panel.  
CONNECTING TO  
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY  
Figure 22 - Water Connections  
This unit is wired for 120 VAC service. The unit, when  
installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with the  
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or in the  
absence of such requirements, with the latest edition of the  
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70. When the unit is  
installed in Canada, it must conform to the CAE C22.1,  
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and/or local Electrical Codes.  
1. Use only Type-T wire [63°F (35°C) rise] on all wiring  
between the unit and field-installed devices.  
2. Enclose line voltage wire exterior to the unit in approved  
conduit or approved metal-clad cable.  
3. The pump must run continuously when the unit is being  
fired (hot water heating boilers must use the optional pump  
delay if the pump is to be cycled. See Freeze Protection,  
page 7 when cycling the pump). Water heaters use the  
pump delay as standard in accordance with ASHRAE 90.1  
requirements.  
Relief Valve  
This unit is supplied with a relief valve(s) sized in accordance  
with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV  
("Heating Boilers"). The relief valve(s) is installed in the  
vertical position and mounted in the hot water outlet. Place no  
other valve between the relief valve and the unit. To prevent  
water damage, pipe the discharge from the relief valve to a  
suitable floor drain for disposal when relief occurs. Do not  
install any reducing couplings or other restrictions in the  
discharge line. The discharge line will allow complete drainage  
of the valve and line. Manually operate the relief valves at least  
once a year.  
ƽ CAUTION: Avoid contact with hot  
discharge water.  
4. To avoid serious damage, do not energize the unit until the  
system is filled with water.  
Water Flow Switch  
A water flow switch is factory installed. The flow switch is  
wired in series with the 24 VAC safety control circuit at the  
units terminal strip. This wiring connection installs the flow  
switch in the 24 VAC safety circuit to prove water flow before  
main burner ignition. The factory supplied flow switch is  
installed in the outlet side of the front header. These units  
require a minimum flow of 26 GPM to make the flow switch  
and start burner operation. Ensure that the pump installed on  
the unit will supply adequate flow to make the flow switch  
contacts and operate the unit. A water flow switch meets most  
code requirements for a low water cut off device on appliances  
requiring forced circulation for operation.  
5. Provide the unit with proper overload protection.

Installation and  
Service Manual  
BOILER SYSTEM PIPING  
The drawings in this section show typical boiler piping  
installations. Before beginning the installation, consult local  
codes for specific plumbing requirements. Be sure to provide  
unions and valves at the boiler inlet and outlet so it can be  
isolated for service. You must install an air separation device in  
the installation piping to eliminate trapped air in the system.  
Locate a system air vent at the highest point in the system. The  
system must also have a properly sized expansion tank  
installed. Typically, an air charged diaphragm-type  
compression tank is used. You must install the expansion tank  
close to the boiler and on the suction side of the system pump  
to ensure proper operation.  
Figure 24A - Stand Alone Operation - Models 985,000 -  
2,065,000 Btu/hr Only  
ƽ CAUTION: This boiler system should not  
be operated at less than 12 PSIG.  
Provide suitable hangers or floor stands to support hot water  
piping. The boiler alone should not support hot water piping.  
Copper pipe systems are subject to considerable expansion and  
contraction. Rigid pipe hangers could allow the pipe to slide in  
the hanger resulting in noise transmitted into the system. Use  
padding on rigid hangers installed with a copper system. Pipe  
the boiler pressure relief valve to a suitable floor drain. See the  
relief valve section in this manual.  
Figure 24B - Remote On/Off Boiler or Water Heater -  
Models 985,000 - 2,065,000 Btu/hr Only  
ƽ CAUTION: A leak in a boiler "system" will  
cause the "system" to intake fresh water  
constantly, which will cause the tubes to  
accumulate a lime/scale build up. This will cause  
a non-warrantable failure.  
General Plumbing Rules  
1. Check all local codes.  
2. For serviceability of boiler, always install unions.  
3. Always pipe the pressure relief valve to an open drain.  
4. Locate system air vents at the highest point of system.  
Figure 24C - Two-Stage (High/Low Fire) Boiler or Water  
Heater - Models 985,000 - 2,065,000 Btu/hr Only

Circulator Pump Specifications  
INSTALLATION  
1. Maximum operating pressure for pump must exceed  
Continued  
system operating pressure.  
2. Maximum water temperature should not exceed nameplate  
rating.  
3. Cast iron circulators may be used for closed loop systems.  
4. A properly sized expansion tank must be installed near the  
boiler and on the suction side of the pump.  
Circulator Pump Requirements  
This is a low mass, high efficiency hot water boiler which must  
have adequate flow for quiet, efficient operation. Pump  
selection is critical to achieve proper operation. A pump should  
be selected to achieve proper system design water temperature  
rise. Two heat exchanger head-loss charts (Figure 25A & 25B)  
are provided to assist in proper pump selection. Also provided  
is a System Temperature Rise Chart (TABLE-K). This table  
provides GPM and boiler head-loss at various temperature  
rises for each boiler based on Btu/hr input. Temperature rise is  
the difference in boiler inlet temperature and boiler outlet  
temperature while the boiler is firing.  
Circulator Pump Operation  
(Heating Boilers Only)  
The boiler pump should run continuously unless the boiler is  
provided with the optional pump delay control system. This  
optional pump control system is available as a factory-installed  
option. External wire leads are furnished with this option to  
allow the power supply for the pump to be switched across the  
normally open contacts of the relay, allowing the control relay  
to cycle the pump on each call for heat. The field installed  
boiler pump (using the optional factory supplied pump control  
system) must not exceed 10 AMPS at 120VAC. As shipped  
from the factory, the optional control system is set to cycle the  
boiler pump on at each call for heat before the burners fire and  
run the pump for a 30 second period after the thermostat is  
satisfied. This will remove any residual heat from the  
combustion chamber before turning the pump off. See Wiring  
Diagrams, page 47.  
Example: The boiler inlet temperature is 160°F (71°C) and the  
boiler outlet temperature is 180°F (82°C), this means that there  
is a 20°F (11°C) temperature rise across the boiler.  
Heat Exchanger Pressure Drop Chart  
Pump Installation and Maintenance  
For installation and maintenance information on the circulator  
pump, refer to pump manufacturers instructions included in the  
instruction package.  
Primary/Secondary Boiler Piping  
Boiler installations with a primary/secondary piping system as  
shown in Figure 26 are recommended. This type of system  
uses a dedicated pump to supply flow to the boiler only. This  
secondary pump is sized based on desired boiler flow rate,  
boiler head loss and head loss in the secondary system piping  
only. A properly-sized system pump provides adequate flow to  
carry the heated boiler water to radiation, air over coils, etc.  
The points of connection to the primary system should be a  
maximum of 12" (or 4 pipe diameters) apart to ensure  
connection at a point of zero pressure drop in the primary  
system. Multiple boilers may also be installed with a  
primary/secondary manifold system as shown in Figure 27.  
The multiple boilers are connected to the manifold in reverse  
return to assist in balancing flow to multiple boilers.  
Figure 25A - Pressure Drop Chart_Models 495,000 -  
745,000 Btu/hr  
ƽ CAUTION: DO NOT allow the flow in the  
primary loop to drop lower than the flow in the  
secondary loop at any time during boiler  
operation. Improper operation of the boiler(s)  
and possible tripping of the high limits and relief  
valves may occur.

Installation and  
Service Manual  
The installer must ensure that the boiler has adequate flow temperature protection valve (LTV) that is factory preset to  
without excessive temperature rise. Low system flow can maintain 140°F inlet water to the boiler regardless of the  
result in overheating of the boiler water which can cause short system return water temperature. See Table K for available

ƽ CAUTION: At no time should the system

985,000 - 2,065,000  
Be sure to install the LTV valve per the piping diagrams  
included with the kits. Alternatively, a bypass as shown in  
FIG. 28 may be piped into the system. This piping is like a  
primary/secondary boiler installation with a bypass in the  
secondary boiler piping. Inlet water temperatures below 140°F  
(60°C) can excessively cool the products of combustion  
resulting in condensation on the heat exchanger and in the flue.  
Condensation can cause operational problems, bad  
combustion, sooting, flue gas spillage and reduced service life  
of the vent system and related components. The bypass allows  
part of the boiler discharge water to be mixed with the cooler  
boiler return water to increase the boiler inlet temperature  
above 140°F (60°C). This should prevent the products of  
combustion from condensing in most installations. The bypass  
should be fully sized with a balancing valve to allow for proper  
adjustment. A valve must also be provided on the boiler  
discharge, after the bypass. Closing this discharge valve forces  
water through the bypass. Start boiler adjustment with the  
bypass valve in the full open position and the boiler discharge  
valve half open. A small amount of the higher temperature  
boiler discharge water is mixed with the system water to  
maintain the desired lower system temperature. A remote low  
temperature range operator is recommended to control the  
boiler operation based on the lower system temperature. (See  
Terminal Strip Connection Options starting on  
page 22).

This type of heating boiler application operates in a low  
temperature range which requires a boiler bypass as described  
under Low Temperature Bypass Requirements. A non-metallic  
rubber or plastic tubing installed in a radiant (in floor) system  
must have an oxygen barrier to prevent oxygen from entering  
the system through the walls of the installed tubing. Excessive  
oxygen absorption into the system will result in an accelerated  
rate of corrosion causing a sludge buildup. This excessive  
corrosion will also damage the boiler and system components.

INSTALLATION  
Continued  
Pipe refrigeration systems in parallel. Install duct coil  
downstream at cooling coil. Where the hot water heating boiler  
is connected to a heating coil located in the air handling units  
which may be exposed to refrigeration air circulation, the  
boiler piping system must be equipped with flow control  
valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation  
of the boiler water during the cooling cycle. The coil must be  
vented at the high point and hot water from the boiler must  
enter the coil at this point. Due to the fast heating capacity of  
the boiler, it is not necessary to provide a ductstat to delay  
circulator operation. Also, omit thermostat flow checks as the  
boiler is cold when heating thermostat is satisfied. This  
provides greater economy over maintaining standby heat (see  
Figure 29).  
Sludge formed as the result of excessive oxygen in the system  
can restrict water flow resulting in a premature boiler failure.  
Any boiler damage due to excessive oxygenation is non-  
warrantable.

Boiler Flow Rate  
ƽ CAUTION: The maximum flow rate for  
models 495,000 - 745,000 Btu/hr is 60 GPM and  
90 GPM on 985,000 - 2,065,000 models. Do not  
exceed the maximum flow rate of the heating  
boiler.  
If higher flow rates are required through the boiler,  
an optional Cupro-Nickel heat exchanger is  
available. When using a Cupro-Nickel heat  
exchanger, GPM can be increased by 30 percent.  
Consult the factory for specific application  
requirements.  
The heat exchanger is generally capable of operating within  
the design flow rates of the building heating system. Should  
the flow rate exceed the maximum allowable flow rate through  
the boiler an external bypass must be installed. The bypass  
should be fully sized with a balancing valve to allow for proper  
adjustment of flow. Flow rate can be determined by measuring  
the temperature rise through the boiler.  
Figure 30 - Boiler Bypass Piping for High Flow Systems  
Filling the System  
All air must be purged from the system for proper operation.  
An air scoop and air vent must be located close to the boiler  
outlet and there should be a minimum distance between the  
cold water feed and the system purge valve.  
Boiler Bypass Requirements  
The installer must ensure that the boiler is supplied with  
adequate flow without excessive temperature rise. It is  
recommended that this boiler be installed with a bypass in the  
piping if the maximum recommended flow rate is exceeded.  
The bypass will help to ensure that the boiler can be supplied  
with adequate water flow. Flow rates exceeding the maximum  
recommended flow will result in erosion of the boiler tubes. A  
typical bypass with a valve is shown in Figure 30 will allow  
control of boiler flow.  
1. Close all drain cocks and air vents.  
2. Open the makeup water valve and slowly fill the system.  
3. If a makeup water pump is employed, adjust the pressure  
to provide a minimum of 12 psi at the highest point in the  
system. If a pressure regulator is also installed in the line,  
it should be adjusted to the same pressure.  
4. Close all valves. Purge one circuit at a time as follows:  
A. Open one circuit drain valve and let the water drain  
for at least five minutes. Ensure that there are no air  
bubbles visible in the water stream before closing  
the drain valve.  
Temperature/Pressure Gauge  
This boiler is equipped with a dial type temperature/pressure  
gauge. This gauge is factory installed in the outlet side of the  
heat exchanger. The gauge has one scale to read system  
pressure and a separate scale to read water temperature in  
degrees, Fahrenheit.  
B. Repeat this procedure for each circuit.  
5. Open all valves after all circuits have been purged. Make  
sure there are no system leaks.  
ƽ CAUTION: Do not use petroleum based  
stop leak products. All system leaks must be  
repaired. The constant addition of make-up water  
can cause damage to the boiler heat exchanger  
due to scale accumulation. Scale reduces flow  
and heat transfer, causing overheating of the  
heat exchanger.  
6. Run the system circulating pump for a minimum of 30  
minutes with the boiler turned off.  
7. Open all strainers in the system and check for debris.

ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not  
try to light the burner by hand.  
B. BEFORE OPERATING, smell around the appliance area  
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas  
is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.  
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS  
• Do not try to light any appliance.  
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use  
any phone in your building.  
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a  
neighbors phone.  
• Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

beginning regular operation.  
15. Within three days of startup, recheck and bleed all air vents  
and the expansion tank using these instructions.  
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the  
fire department.  
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control lever. Never use  
tools. If the lever will not turn by hand, don't try to repair it,  
call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair  
may result in a fire or explosion.  
D. Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.  
Immediately call a qualified service technician to replace the  
boiler. The possible damage to a flooded boiler can be  
extensive and present numerous safety hazards. Any  
appliance that has been under water must be replaced.  
WATER TREATMENT  
In hard water areas, water treatment should be used to reduce  
the introduction of minerals to the system. Minerals in the  
water can collect in the heat exchanger tubes and cause noise

Note: Anytime that OJ1 is the only jumper cut, a new  
overlay is required under the Set Point knob on the  
temperature controller because the scale has changed to a  
maximum of 190°F.  
Maximum Set Point Determination  
The maximum set point for the control is factory set. Boilers  
are set to 230°F max., water heaters are set to 190°F max., and  
specialty state and local codes to 200°F.  
Anytime the OJ2 jumper is cut (with or without OJ1), a  
new overlay is required under the Set Point knob on the  
temperature controller because the scale has changed to a  
maximum of 200°F.  
These maximum set points are established by not  
cutting/cutting the OJ1 and OJ2 jumpers located on the right  
side of the temperature controller (see Figure 35). The  
maximum set point is determined as shown in TABLE-M.  
Set Point  
The Set Point knob specifies the target water temperature in  
degrees, Fahrenheit. After the water temperature reaches the  
set point, the temperature control shuts off the burners.  
Differential  
The Differential specifies the number of degrees below the set  
point that the control will allow the water temperature to drop  
before it brings the unit back on again.

The temperature control operates a two-stage firing system.  
The two stages are High-Fire and Low-Fire. High-Fire  
operates all burners while Low-Fire operates approximately  
one-half of the burners.  
The High-Fire knob specifies the number of degrees below set  
point that the High-Fire stage shuts down. At that point, the  
unit will continue to operate at the Low-Fire stage until the set  
point is reached.  
The High-Fire offset knob has settings between 0°F and 20°F.  
If set at 0°F, the High-Fire offset is disabled and the unit will  
operate at the High-Fire stage until the set point is reached and  
the temperature control shuts the unit off.  
When the High-Fire offset knob is set to 0 or 1, the unit will  
light at Low Fire and operate for approximately 10 seconds  
before the High-Fire stage actuates. When set to 2 or above,  
the unit will operate at Low Fire for 2 minutes before the High

Outdoor Air Reset Option  
For boilers ordered with the Outdoor Air Reset option, there is  
an additional control (see Figure 36). There are three setting  
knobs for Shutdown, Outdoor Air Max., and Ratio. There is  
also a switch to turn the outdoor air sensor On or Off. An O.A.  
Sensor is also included.  
Shutdown  
The Shutdown knob specifies the outdoor air lockout  
temperature at which the control would prevent the unit from  
operating. This feature can be enabled/disabled with the O.A.  
Shutdown switch.  
Outdoor Air Max (O.A. Max)  
The O. A. Max knob allows a reset up to the maximum outdoor  
air temperature specified by this knob setting. When the  
outdoor air temperature is above the specified setting, the unit  
will not function in the O.A. Reset Mode, but will continue to  
run at the selected set point temperature.  
Note that the set point knob will now indicate the “minimum”  
boiler temperature. Target temperature is determined by the  
ratio and outdoor air temperature below the O.A. Max setting.  
Ratio  
The Ratio knob allows the control over the reset ratio to be  
used during Outdoor Air Reset. The allowable ratios are as low  
as 0.5:1 or as high as 1.5:1.  
Selecting the 0.5:1 ratio will increase the set point 0.5°F for  
every 1.0°F drop in outdoor air temperature up to the  
maximum set point temperature.  
Selecting the 1.5:1 ratio will increase the set point 1.5°F for  
every 1.0°F drop in outdoor air temperature up to the  
maximum set point temperature.

Temperature Control Sensors  
This is a two-stage temperature control that controls the burner  
ignition, pump, and alarm functions. This temperature  
controller can measure up to three different sensor inputs,  
depending upon how the unit is set up. They are as follows:  
Water Heater Application  
Water heater units are shipped with two sensors; the inlet water  
temperature sensor and the multi-purpose temperature sensor  
to be used as a tank sensor.  
1. Inlet Water Temperature Sensor  
2. Multi-Purpose Temperature Sensor  
3. Outside Air Temperature Sensor  
Placement of Sensors  
Inlet Water Temperature Sensor  
This sensor measures the inlet water temperature coming into  
the unit.  
Inlet Temperature Sensor  
The inlet water temperature sensor is placed into the inlet  
bulbwell on the boiler. This sensor is installed by the factory in  
new units. Make sure to insert the sensor all the way into the  
bulbwell, leaving no air pocket between the front surface of the  
sensor and the back of the bulbwell. Air pockets are thermally  
non-conductive and will cause sensors to not read accurately.  
Multi-Purpose Temperature Sensor  
Depending upon how your unit is set up, this sensor can be  
used as a system sensor or a tank sensor.  
Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor  
This sensor is only available on boiler units with an outdoor air  
reset option. This allows you to tie boiler operation to the  
outdoor air temperature. As outside temperatures drop, the  
System Sensor  
This is used for boiler applications. This sensor will control the  
control will increase the temperature setting of the boiler. As boiler operation based upon the water temperature within the  
outdoor temperatures rise, the control will decrease the  
temperature to the selected set point of the boiler. You can set  
the control to shut the boiler off when a desired outdoor air  
temperature level is reached.  
building loop.  
Tank Sensor  
This is used in water heating applications. Place the sensor in  
the water storage tank to measure water temperature. For more  
information on mounting the sensor, see Remote Mounting of  
Sensors, page 33.  
Outside Air Temperature Sensor  
The outside air temperature sensor will only be used for boiler  
systems. The outside air sensor is optional. You must purchase  
the sensor from the appliance manufacturer. The sensor comes  
with a housing that helps protect the sensor from the elements.  
Mount the air sensor housing under the eve of the roof. Make  
sure the housing is out of direct sunlight. This will ensure that  
the sensor will accurately read the true outdoor temperature.  
For more information on mounting the sensor, see Remote  
Mounting of Sensors, page 33.

below. Take care to correctly wire sensors to the unit. Erratic  
Control Module  
This unit has one ignition module and one hot surface igniter.  
temperature readings can be caused by poor wiring practices.  
Twist the wires between the unit and the remote sensor. Turn  
wires at least three or four turns per linear foot of wiring. This  
provides common mode rejection of some types of electrical  
interferences.  
1. Do not route temperature sensor wiring with building  
power wiring.  
2. Do not locate temperature sensor wiring next to control

3. Do not locate temperature sensor wiring near electric  
motors.  
4. Do not locate temperature sensor wiring near welding  
equipment.  
5. Make sure good mechanical connections are made to the  
sensor, any interconnecting wiring and the controller.  
ƽ Caution: The igniter is extremely fragile, be very  
careful when removing. A faulty or damaged hot surface  
igniter MUST BE replaced with a Lochinvar PLT3400  
igniter. Do not use general purpose field replacement  
igniters.  
6. Do not mount sensor with leadwire end pointing up in an  
area where condensation can occur.

The ignition module may lockout in either a hard-lockout  
condition, requiring pushing of the reset button to recycle the  
control, or a soft-lockout condition which may recycle after an  
approximate five-minute waiting period. This soft-lockout  
condition is intended to allow self-correcting faults to correct  
themselves and permit normal operation. A typical hard-  
lockout fault is a flame failure condition. An ignition module  
that is in a hard-lockout condition may only be reset by  
pushing the reset button next to the ignition control or the  
"RESET" button on the diagnostic panel on the left end of the  
unit. Upon a flame failure, the reset button is only active after  
the control module has completed its post-purge cycle. Turning  
main power "OFF" and then "ON" or cycling the thermostat  
will not reset a hard-lockout condition. Wait five seconds after Post-purge:  
turning on main power before pushing the reset button when  
the ignition module is in a hard lockout. The ignition module  
will go into a soft lockout if conditions of low air, low voltage  
or low hot surface igniter current are present. A soft-lockout  
condition will operate the combustion air fans for the post  
purge cycle and then the ignition module will pause for  
approximately five minutes. At the end of this timed pause, the  
ignition module will attempt a new trial for ignition sequence.  
If the soft-lockout fault condition has subsided or has been  
corrected at the end of the timed pause, main burner ignition  
should be achieved with the resumption of the normal trial for  
ignition sequence. If the control sensed fault is not corrected,  
the ignition module will continue in the soft-lockout condition.  
If the electronic thermostat opens during the soft-lockout  
period, the ignition module will exit soft lockout and wait for  
a new call for heat from the thermostat. A soft-lockout  
condition may also be reset by manually cycling the thermostat  
or turning the main power switch "OFF" and then "ON" after  
the control sensed fault has been corrected.

HEATERS  
the pump motor is running in the proper direction (see  
arrow on volute housing).  
4. Be sure the installed circulation pipes between the water  
heater and storage tank are not less than 2 1/2" in diameter  
on models 985,000 - 2,065,000 Btu/hr.  
5. Common manifold piping for multiple unit installations  
will require larger minimum pipe sizes and tank circulating  
tappings to ensure proper flow. See TABLE-R.  
This section applies only to those units used to supply potable  
hot water for domestic use. The hot water supply boiler must  
be installed with a storage tank.  
This section contains specific instructions for those units used  
to supply domestic hot water. All warnings, cautions, notes and  
instructions in the general installation and service sections  
apply to these instructions. Hot water supply heaters are  
designed for installation with a properly sized storage tank.  
The use of a properly sized pump and the control of water  
velocity, as explained below, are important for correct  
operation of your water heater.  
If the temperature rise is too low, the water velocity  
is too high. Adjust as follows:  
1. Slowly throttle the valve on the outlet side of the water  
heater until the temperature rise is steady at the required  
temperature rise as noted in TABLE-Q.  
2. Sustained high water velocity and low temperature rise  
may result in pitting or erosion of the copper tubes in the  
heat exchanger. This is a non-warrantable failure.  
Temperature rise must be properly adjusted to achieve the  
specified flow rate.  
Water Velocity Control  
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper velocity through  
the heat exchanger, you must regulate the  
temperature rise across the heat exchanger from  
inlet to outlet. Do this upon initial installation and  
periodically recheck. The correct temperature  
rise across the heat exchanger ensures proper  
velocity in the tubes. This will yield long life and  
economical operation from your hot water  
heater. Excessive lime build up in the tube is  
caused by too low of velocity through the tubes.  
Excessive pitting or erosion in the tube is caused  
by too high of velocity through the tubes. Take  
care to measure temperature rise and maintain a  
velocity as follows:  
Required Temperature Rise  
Based on heating potable water with a hardness of 5 to 25  
grains per gallon and/or total dissolved solids not exceeding

Temperature  
1. With the pump running and the water heater off, the inlet  
and outlet thermometers should read the same  
temperatures. If they do not, an adjustment must be made  
to your final calculation.  
2. Turn the water heater “On” and allow time for the  
temperature to stabilize. Record the difference between the  
inlet and outlet temperatures. This difference will be the  
“temperature rise”.

be needed, proceed as follows:  
If the temperature rise is too high, the water velocity  
is too low. Check the following:  
1. Check for restrictions in the outlet of the water heater.  
2. Be sure all valves are open between the water heater and  
the tank.

Water Chemistry  
TABLE - R  
Pipe Sizing Chart  
The required temperature rise and the standard pump sizing are  
based on the heating of potable water with a hardness of 5 to  
25 grains per gallon and a total dissolved solids not exceeding  
350 ppm. Consult the appliance manufacturer when heating  
potable water exceeding these specifications. Heating of high  
hardness and/or high total dissolved solids water will require a  
larger circulating pump, an optional cupro-nickel heat  
exchanger and a revised temperature rise specification based  
on the water chemistry of the water to be heated. Water with a  
hardness of less than 5 grains per gallon will usually have a  
low pH which can be aggressive and corrosive causing non-  
warrantable damage to the heater, pump and associated piping.  
Corrosion due to water chemistry generally shows up first in  
the hot water system because heated water increases the rate of  
corrosive chemical reactions.

ƽ WARNING: You must take adequate care  
to prevent scald injury when storing water at  
elevated temperatures for domestic use.  
This unit has an adjustable temperature control to maintain the  
desired water temperature set point. See Setting Temperature  
Control, page 29, for instructions to program the temperature  
control. The temperature control is factory preset at  
approximately 125°F (52°C) or less. Households with small  
children or invalids may require 120°F (49°C) or lower  
temperature hot water to reduce risk of scald injury.  
Operate this high efficiency hot water heater at a temperature  
setting high enough to prevent condensing of the products of  
combustion on the unit's heat exchanger or in the attached  
venting system. A water temperature setting that is above the  
dew point of the gas combustion products should prevent  
condensate formation.

Minimum Pump Performance  
Storing the water at a higher temperature and thermostatically  
mixing the water increases the available quantity of mixed hot  
water, greatly reducing the possibility of condensate forming  
on the heat exchanger or in the venting system and helps  
prevent water born bacteria growth.  
Some states may require a lower water temperature setting for  
specific applications. Check local codes or your gas supplier  
for domestic hot water temperature requirements.  
Heat Exchanger  
This is a highly sophisticated heat exchanger, designed to carry  
water in such a way that it generates a scouring action which  
keeps all interior surfaces free from build up of impurities. The  
straight line, two pass design of the tubes sends water into the  
headers at a properly rated velocity. The configuration of the  
headers, in turn, creates a high degree of turbulence which is  
sufficient to keep all contaminants in suspension. This  
“scouring action” provides greater cost savings for owners.  
Tubes are always able to transfer heat at peak efficiency. Every  
surface within this water containing section is of a non ferrous  
material, providing clear, clean, rust free hot water. Straight  
copper tubes finned on the outside for maximum heat transfer  
and coated cast iron one piece cored headers make up an  
entirely rust proof unit. On all models, header inspection plugs  
can be removed for field inspection and cleaning of copper  
tubes. The entire heat exchanger may be easily removed from  
the unit.  
• Water temperature over 125°F (52°C)  
can cause severe burns instantly or  
death from scalds.  
• Children, disabled and elderly are  
at highest risk of being scalded.  
• See instruction manual before  
setting temperature at heating  
appliance.  
• Feel water before bathing or showering.  
• If this appliance is used to produce  
water that could scald if too hot,  
such as domestic hot water use,  
adjust the outlet control (limit) or use  
temperature limiting valves to obtain  
a maximum water temperature of  
125°F (52°C).

Installation and  
Service Manual  
Remember, no water heating system provides exact  
temperatures at all times. Let the system operate a few days at  
your desired settings to determine correct settings for your  
needs.  
1. These units are equipped with an operating temperature  
control.  
ƽ WARNING: Should overheating occur or  
the gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or  
disconnect the electrical supply to the pump.  
Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location  
external to the unit.  
2. The control set points are preset to a low test setting when  
shipped from the factory.  
3. Reset the temperature set points to the lowest settings  
which will satisfy hot water demands, eliminate a possible  
condensate problem and prevent a risk of scald injury.  
High Water Temperature Limit Control  
The unit is equipped with an adjustable setting, auto-reset high  
water temperature limit control. The hot water heater  
temperature limit control has a maximum limit setting of  
200°F (93°C). If water temperature exceeds the set point, the  
limit will break the control circuit and shut down the unit. The  
limit control will only be reset after the water temperature has  
cooled below the set point of the limit. The high water  
temperature limit control is mounted in the outlet side of the  
front header. A manual reset high water temperature limit  
control is available as an optional control.  
ƽ WARNING: Return water temperatures  
must not be less than 140°F (60°C). If lower  
return wate temperatures are required, folllow  
the instructions for Low Temperature Return  
Water Systems, page 25.  
Optional Relief Valve  
4. The High-Fire Offset should normally be adjusted to “0”  
when supplying potable hot water for domestic use.  
5. Stage firing can be achieved by adjusting the High-Fire  
Offset to any value other than zero. Typically, a setting of  
3°F is 5°F is suitable for stage firing in a water heater  
application. Stage firing of a potable water heater is  
normally only used to replace system standby heat loss.  
This water heater is normally supplied with a temperature and  
pressure relief valve(s) sized in accordance with applicable  
codes. Units may be supplied with an optional pressure only  
relief valve(s). When a water heater equipped with this  
optional relief valve is piped to a separate storage vessel, the  
storage vessel MUST have a properly installed temperature  
and pressure relief valve which complies with local codes.  
6. All stages of burner operation should fire when there is a  
major draw from the potable hot water storage system.  
Thermal Expansion  
This prevents possible condensate problems and ensures a A relief valve which discharges periodically may be due to  
thermal expansion in a closed system. A hot water supply  
boiler installed in a closed system, such as one with a backflow  
preventer or check valve installed in the cold water supply,  
shall be provided with means to control expansion. Contact the  
water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to correct  
this situation. Do not plug or cap the relief valve discharge!  
rapid recovery of the hot water used.  
Note: The High-Fire stage will be delayed by approximately  
10 seconds to allow a soft start of the water heater.  
IMPORTANT: When water is stored at  
temperatures above 125°F (52°C), a thermostatic  
mixing valve must be installed on the hot water  
outlet from the storage tank to supply lower  
temperature water and prevent the risk of a scald  
injury.  
Cathodic Protection  
Hydrogen gas, which is extremely flammable, can be produced  
in a hot water system that has been unused for a long period of  
time (generally two weeks or more). To prevent the possibility  
of injury under these conditions, open the kitchen sink hot  
water faucet for several minutes before using any electrical  
appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is  
present, there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping  
through the pipe as the hot water begins to flow. Do not smoke  
or have open flames near the faucet at this time.  
Note: This water heater, when set at a lower temperature  
setting, is not capable of producing hot water of sufficient  
temperature for sanitizing purposes.  
Location of Cold Water Supply Piping  
Connections  
Incorrect piping of the cold water supply to the system may  
result in excessive low temperature operation causing  
condensate formation on the heat exchanger and operational  
problems. You must install the cold water supply piping in the  
discharge piping from the heater to the storage tank. This  
allows the cold water to be tempered in the storage tank before  
entering the heater. See Figure 41 and typical installation  
drawings provided with the unit for correct piping. Higher  
water temperatures reduce condensate formation.

A circuit breaker is provided on the 985,000 - 2,065,000 Btu/hr  
models for protection of the low voltage supply transformer  
from overloads and short circuits. The breaker is located inside  
the unit on the lower right corner of the control panel. Power  
from this breaker goes to the electronic temperature controller,  
ignition module and various other components and/or options  
on the unit. When tripped, all factory-installed 24VAC  
components will lose their 24VAC power.  
HEAT TRANSFER PROCESS  
35. Heated products of combustion pass over the heat  
exchanger transferring heat to the water.  
36. The rate of flue product movement is controlled by “V”  
baffles on the heat exchanger to maximize heat transfer.  
37. Flue products pass into the flue collector and are  
exhausted from the unit.  
Manual Reset High-Limit Thermostat  
A manual reset high limit thermostat is provided as backup for  
the temperature controller. This will either be an adjustable dial  
or fixed temperature bulb-capillary style thermostat that will  
trip and require resetting should water temperature exceed its  
settings. When tripped, all controls remain powered, but  
24VAC is prevented from being delivered to the ignition  
module's thermostat input.  
END OF SEQUENCE  
38. Set point for the high fire on the electronic temperature  
control is satisfied.  
39. Power to all valves is turned OFF on F9 systems and  
power to the high fire gas valves is turned OFF on M9  
systems.  
40. The water temperature continues to rise and the set point  
for low fire is satisfied (M9).  
41. Power to the low fire gas valves is turned OFF (M9).  
42. The combustion air fan runs for a 30 second post purge  
timing and turns OFF.  
43. The appliance is now in a Standby Mode waiting for the  
next “call for heat”.  
EMS/Sequencer/Remote Aquastat  
Terminals  
The EMS/sequencer/remote aquastat terminals are provided  
for connection of the unit to an external energy management  
system or sequencer and are located along the top edge of the  
terminal strip located within the electrical wiring box. In  
addition to providing a means to externally stage fire the unit,  
these terminals also provide for remote shutdown and override  
by routing through dry contacts from external devices.  
Connection of the external dry contacts to these terminals  
requires the removal of one or more factory installed jumpers  
located on the terminal strip.  
GLOSSARY  
Power Supply  
(AC120VAC/60Hz)  
120VAC/60Hz/1PH power connects to black (line) and white  
(neutral) wires located within an electrical wiring box located  
on the left side of the unit. A green chassis grounding wire is  
also provided for connection to earth ground.  
Safety Device Terminals  
The safety device terminals ensure that no power can be  
delivered to the ignition module unless factory/field-installed  
safety devices such as flow switches and gas pressure switches  
are closed. These safety device terminals are located below the  
EMS/Sequencer/Remote Aquastat terminals located within the  
electrical wiring box. Two types of connections are offered:  
Continuous terminals provide for connection of safety devices  
that are desired to be constantly monitored. Intermittent  
terminals are provided for devices that are only monitored  
ON/OFF Rocker Switch  
The black line voltage wire runs directly to a single pole, single  
throw On/Off rocker switch located behind the front cover  
accessible by a thumb screw. Turning ON the rocker switch  
delivers line voltage to the low voltage transformer and  
ignition module.  
Note: The On/Off switch does not provide for disconnection of during a "call for heat" cycle. Connection to either of these  
power being supplied to any remotely connected devices that terminals requires the removal of a factory-installed jumper  
may be connected to the unit (i.e. pumps, louvers, power located on the terminal strip.

Hydronic Heating Boilers and  
Domestic Water Heaters  
Electronic Temperature Controller  
Relay Board (Controlled by Electronic  
Temperature Controller and Ignition Module)  
A small relay board is provided on the 985,000 - 2,065,000  
Btu/hr models to switch the blower from low to high speed and  
to deliver power from the low fire stage (Stage 1) to the high  
fire stage (Stage 2) depending upon the electronic thermostat's  
settings.  
(Operator)  
A 2-stage electronic temperature controller is provided on the  
unit and it serves to maintain a user selectable temperature set  
point. Ultimately, the temperature controller delivers 24VAC to  
the ignition module and pressure switch when it senses heat  
mode is desired. It also activates the pump relay. If more heat is  
needed, it activates the high fire stage.  
Ignition (Ignition Module Function)  
Once the trial for ignition period has been completed, the  
ignition module sends 24VAC to the gas valves on the low fire  
stage (Stage 1). Gas valves should open and allow gas to flow  
to the burners in Stage 1 being energized. The fuel/air mixture  
should ignite from the hot surface igniter. Once this voltage has  
been sent to the valves, the hot surface igniter is turned off. The  
ignition module then monitors the status of the flame and will  
either allow ignition to continue or shut down the gas valves  
should flame not be proven and proceed to a Flame Failure  
condition. If flame was proven briefly during the ignition  
period, the module may not proceed to Flame Failure, but  
rather post-purge and then go into another trial for ignition.  
Ignition Module  
(Controlled by Electronic Temperature Controller)  
One ignition module is provided on the unit. Upon sensing the  
24VAC delivered to it by the electronic temperature controller,  
the ignition module checks for a shorted pressure switch and  
then, provided the air switch isn't shorted, supplies 120VAC to  
its blower output relay and waits for a pressure switch signal.  
Two Speed Blower (Controlled by Ignition  
Module and Relay Board)  
A single 2-speed blower on the 985,000 - 2,065,000 Btu/hr  
models (single 1-speed blower on the 495,000 - 745,000 Btu/hr  
models) provide combustion air to the unit. The blower is  
provided with a high and low speed tap. The blower operates  
in tandem with the ignition module when a call for heat signal  
is received. Depending upon the number of stages in operation,  
the blower's speed may increase or decrease accordingly.  
Heat Transfer Process (Gas Valves, Burner,  
and Heat Exchanger)  
Once flame has been proven, the ignition module will hold the  
gas valves open as long as there is proof of flame and a call for  
heat is present. If the low fire stage cannot provide enough heat  
to raise the system temperature, the electronic temperature  
controller turns on the high fire stage. The high fire stage will  
operate until the system water temperature shows a gain that  
can be handled by low fire operation. The high fire stage shuts  
off at this point. When the low-fire stage alone produces more  
heat than is required, the electronic temperature controller  
turns off the call for heat.  
Pressure Switch (Activated by Blower Turning  
On)  
One pressure switch is provided to monitor the blower On/Off  
operation. Upon a call for heat, 24VAC is delivered to the  
pressure switch. If the blower generates adequate air pressure,  
the pressure switch closes to deliver 24VAC to the ignition  
module pressure switch monitoring input terminal.  
Post-Purge (Ignition Module Function)  
When 24VAC is removed from the ignition module's  
thermostat input, the module turns off the gas valves and  
maintains the blower for approximately 25 seconds in order to  
allow the combustion chamber to be purged of all combustion  
by-products.  
Prepurge (Ignition Module Function)  
Once the ignition module sees a 24VAC input from the  
pressure switch, it runs the blower for approximately 15  
seconds in order to purge the combustion chamber of any  
unburned fuel/air mixture.  
Trial for Ignition (Ignition Module Function)  
Once the ignition module has completed its prepurge period, it  
turns on the hot surface igniter. Once the hot surface igniter's  
current draw reaches a proper level, the ignition module begins  
a trial for ignition period of approximately 25 seconds to allow  
time for the igniter to reach the ignition temperature necessary  
to ignite the fuel/air mixture.  
Pump Delay (Electronic Thermostat Function)  
When the electronic thermostat removes 24VAC from the  
ignition module, it continues to hold the pump relay on for 30  
seconds in order to get the remaining heat out of the  
combustion chamber. The pump then turns off to prevent the  
heat in the water from going back into the combustion chamber  
and up the flue.  
Igniter (Controlled by Ignition Module)  
One igniter is provided in order to ignite the fuel/air mixture  
and its on/off operation is controlled by the ignition module.  
Idle (Electronic Thermostat Function)  
After completion of the post-purge cycle, the unit will go into  
an idle state whereby the electronic thermostat continuously  
monitors the water temperature until the water temperature  
drops to levels that require additional heat.
