The value of ΔTMIN can be changed to a value between 1°F  
and 20°F. This will cause the unit to continue pump operation  
until the ΔT is less than the value selected (30 second  
minimum).  
Base for Combustible Floors  
There are no manufactured combustible floor base kits  
available for 990,000 - 2,070,000 Btu models. See Table-A  
below for floor base kits that are available.  
You must construct a base for combustible floor installation.  
Install unit over a base of hollow clay tiles or concrete blocks  
from 8" to 12" thick and 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.  
A value of “ON” is selectable through the control for ΔTMIN.  
This will operate the pump continuously. Alternatively, the  
pump can be powered by a separate circuit for continuous  
operation.

FREEZE PROTECTION  
Hydronic System Antifreeze  
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.  
Freeze protection for a heating boiler or hot water supply  
boiler using an indirect coil can be provided by using hydronic  
system antifreeze. Follow the appliance manufacturers  
instructions. Do not use undiluted or automotive type  
antifreeze.  
ƽ WARNING: Do not use antifreeze in  
domestic water heater applications.  
Anytime the temperature measured at any of the sensors  
(except the outside air temperature sensor) drops below 35°F  
(2°C), the control turns on the pump contact and the alarm  
relay. The screen displays an error message (EO2).  
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.  
Pump Operation  
This unit is equipped with a pump delay feature as standard.  
The delay is selectable through the temperature controller. As  
shipped from the factory, the ΔTMIN is set to “OFF”, which  
creates a 30 second pump delay at the end of a Call for Heat.

4. Combustion Air from Interior Space  
You can direct combustion air to this unit using air from an  
adjoining interior space. You must provide two openings from  
the boiler room to the adjoining room.  
Each of the two openings must have a net free area of one  
2
square inch per 1000 Btu input (22cm per kW), but not less  
2
than 100 square inches (645cm ).  
FIG. 7 Outside Combustion Air - Two Openings  
2. Outside Combustion Air, Using Ducts  
You can direct outside combustion air to this unit using two air  
ducts to deliver the air to the boiler room.  
Each of the two openings must have a minimum free area of  
2
one square inch per 2000 Btu input (11cm per kW).  
FIG. 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 14. Single openings  
shall be installed within 12" (30 cm) of the ceiling.  
The combustion air supply must be completely free of any  
flammable vapors that may ignite or chemical fumes which  
may be corrosive to the unit. 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 unit  
failure.

Exhaust Fans  
Vertical Vent Termination Clearances  
and Location  
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 immediately corrected. 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 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.  
The vertical termination must be a minimum of 3 feet (0.91m)  
above the point of exit.  
Vertical DirectAire™ and Horizontal DirectAire™ venting  
systems have specific requirements for combustion air ducts  
from the outside which are directly connected to the unit. See  
the requirements for combustion air duct in the venting  
section.  
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.  
You must locate the air inlet termination elbow at least 12"  
(30cm) above the roof or above normal snow levels.  
VENTING  
Keep the vent cap clear of snow, ice, leaves, and debris to  
avoid blocking the flue.  
General Information

size for ease of installation, if needed.  
Combustion Air Inlet Piping  
ƽ WARNING: Locate and install the  
combustion air inlet cap correctly. Failure to  
do so can allow the discharge of flue products  
to be drawn into the combustion process.  
This can result in incomplete combustion and  
potentially hazardous levels of carbon  
monoxide in the flue products. This will cause  
operational problems and the spillage of flue  
products. Spillage of flue products can cause  
personal injury or death due to carbon  
monoxide poisoning.  
FIG. 14 Sidewall Combustion Air Inlet  
The sidewall or vertical rooftop DirectAire™ combustion air  
supply system has specific vent material and installation  
requirements. The air inlet pipe connects directly to the unit to  
supply combustion air. In most installations, the combustion air  
inlet pipe will be a dedicated system with one air inlet pipe per  
unit. You can combine multiple air inlets if the guidelines in  
Combined Air Inlet Points, page 15 are followed. The air inlet  
pipe will be connected to a combustion air inlet cap as specified  
in this section.  
For normal installations, this system uses a single-wall pipe to  
supply combustion air from outdoors directly to the unit.  
In cold climates, use a Type-B double-wall vent pipe or an  
insulated single-wall pipe for combustion air. This will help  
prevent moisture in the cool incoming air from condensing and  
leaking from the inlet pipe.

Service Manual  
4. Horizontal DirectAire™ Venting  
If the air inlet cap is within a 10-foot (3.05m) radius of the flue  
outlet, the point of termination for the combustion air inlet cap  
must be at least 3 feet (0.91m) below the point of flue gas  
termination (vent cap).  
This option uses a powered vent assembly to exhaust the flue  
products out a sidewall. Combustion air is supplied by a pipe  
from the sidewall. See page 21 for venting details.  
Do not install the combustion air inlet cap closer than 10 feet  
(3.05m) from an inside corner of an L-shaped structure.  
5. Direct Venting  
This option uses a sealed AL29-4C flue and a separate  
combustion air pipe to the outdoors. This system terminates  
both the flue and combustion air inlet in the same pressure  
zone. The flue outlet and combustion air intake may terminate  
at either a sidewall (horizontal) or the rooftop (vertical). See  
page 22 for venting details.  
Combined Air Inlet Points  
The air inlet pipes from multiple boilers can be combined to a  
single common connection if the common air inlet pipe has a  
cross sectional area equal to or larger than the total area of all  
air inlet pipes connected to the common air inlet pipe.  
6. Outdoor Installation Venting  
2
This option uses the installation of a special air inlet/vent cap  
on top of the unit. See page 26 for venting details.  
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  
venting materials. The following is a detailed explanation of  
the installation requirements for each venting system,  
Example: Two 10" air inlet pipes (78.5 in area each) have a  
2
2
total area of 157 in and will require a 15" (176.7 in area)  
common air inlet pipe.  
The air inlet point for multiple boiler air inlets must be  
provided with an exterior opening which has a free area equal  
to or greater than the total area of all air inlet pipes connected components used and part numbers of vent kits for each model.  
to the common air inlet. This exterior opening for combustion  
air must connect directly to the outdoors. The total length of  
the combined air inlet pipe must not exceed a maximum of 50  
(15.2m) equivalent feet. Subtract 5 feet (1.5m) for each 90°  
elbow in the air inlet pipe. You must deduct the restriction in  
area provided by any screens, grills or louvers installed in the  
common air inlet point. These are common on the sidewall air  
inlet openings. Screens, grills or louvers installed in the  
common air inlet can reduce the free area of the opening from  
25% to 75% based on the materials used.  
Barometric Damper Location  
Any venting system option that requires a barometric damper  
must adhere to the following directions for optimum  
performance.  
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 the weights on the damper to ensure that  
draft is maintained within the specified range.  
Vent System Options  
This unit has six venting options.  
1. Conventional Negative Draft Venting  
This option uses a vertical rooftop flue termination.  
Combustion air is supplied from the mechanical room. See  
column 2 for detailed information.  
2. Vertical DirectAire™ Venting  
This option uses a vertical conventional vent for flue products.  
Combustion air is supplied by a pipe from the sidewall or  
rooftop. See page 17 for venting details.  
3. Sidewall Venting  
This option uses a powered vent assembly to exhaust the flue  
products out a sidewall vent termination. Combustion air is  
supplied from the mechanical room. See page 19 for venting  
details.

INSTALLATION Continued  
1. Conventional Negative Draft  
Venting  
Flue Outlet Piping  
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 11.  
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.  
FIG. 17 Conventional Negative Draft Vertical Venting with  
Combustion Air Louvers  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Do not connect vent connectors serving appliances vented by  
natural draft (negative draft) to any portion of a mechanical draft

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.  
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.  
ƽ WARNING: Do not vent this unit into a  
masonry chimney without a sealed stainless  
steel liner system. Any breaks, leaks, or damage  
to the masonry flue/tile will allow the positive-  
pressure flue products to leak from the chimney  
and into occupied living spaces. This could  
cause serious injury or death due to carbon  
monoxide poisoning and other harmful flue  
products.  
5. Close fireplace dampers.  
IMPORTANT: Check with local code officials to  
determine code requirements or the advisability  
of using a masonry chimney with a sealed  
corrosion-resistant liner system.  
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  
connected to the common venting system properly vents  
when tested as above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,  
fireplace dampers and other gas burning appliances to their  
previous conditions of use.  
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.  
Inspection of a Masonry Chimney  
A masonry chimney must be carefully inspected to determine 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 breaching 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 chimney.  
Vertical Vent Termination Clearances and Location  
Masonry Chimney Installations  
Follow all vertical venting termination information for  
clearances and location under Vertical Vent Termination  
Clearances and Location, page 11.  
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.  
2. Vertical DirectAire™ Venting  
IMPORTANT: Before installing the venting  
system, follow all venting clearances and and  
requirements found in the Venting, General  
Information section, page 11.  
The Vertical DirectAire™ vent system is the same as the  
Conventional Negative Draft vent system, except it pulls  
combustion air from the outdoors through a vertical air inlet.

The Horizontal DirectAire™ vent system is the same as the  
Sidewall Venting system, except it pulls combustion air from the  
outdoors through a sidewall air inlet. Follow all requirements in  
Sidewall Venting, page 19.  
The Horizontal DirectAire™ vent system requires you to  
install two vent pipes directly to the unit; one pipe for flue  
products and one for combustion air. Install both vent pipes  
horizontally with a sidewall termination point. For this venting  
option, you must purchase the DV box accessory from the  
appliance manufacturer. The DV box attaches to the air inlet of  
the unit. The pipe for combustion air attaches to the DV box.  
Sidewall Vent Termination Clearances and  
Location

Vent Kits  
5. Direct Venting  
You must order the Horizontal DirectAire™ Vent Kit for  
sidewall installation from the appliance manufacturer. See  
TABLE–F for kit numbers. Each kit includes a sidewall  
powered vent cap fan, proving switch, controls, combustion air  
inlet cap to supply air to a single unit, the transition adapter to  
attach the field supplied single wall air inlet pipe to the unit  
and installation instructions. Purchase flue pipe and air inlet  
pipe locally.  
IMPORTANT: Before installing venting system,  
follow all venting clearances and requirements  
found in the Venting, General Information  
section, page 11.  
This option uses sealed AL29-4C vent materials for the flue  
outlet piping and separate combustion air inlet piping. This  
system terminates both the flue and combustion air inlet in the  
same pressure zone. The flue outlet and combustion air intake  
may terminate at either a sidewall or the rooftop.  
To use the optional Direct Vent system, you must install  
specific vent kits and venting materials. The following is a  
detailed explanation of Direct Vent installation requirements,  
including the components used and vent kit part numbers.  
The sidewall air inlet cap supplied in the Horizontal  
DirectAire™ Vent Kit is used to supply combustion air to a  
single boiler. Combustion air supply pipes from multiple units  
can not be combined into a single air inlet pipe and inlet point.  
ƽ WARNING: Only use the sidewall air inlet  
cap  
recommended  
by  
the  
appliance  
manufacturer. Using another sidewall air inlet  
cap may result in operational problems and the  
spillage of flue products. Spillage of flue  
products can cause personal injury or death due  
to carbon monoxide poisoning.  
Flue Outlet Piping  
Venting Guidelines  
If using this venting option, a sealed AL29-4C venting system  
for flue products is required on all models of this appliance.  
This venting system operates with a positive pressure in the  
vent. The internal combustion air blowers generate this  
positive pressure which operates the combustion process and  
also exhausts the flue products from the building.  
This vent system has specific vent material and installation  
requirements. Only use listed sealed AL29-4C vent system  
materials. Follow all installation requirements. See TABLE–B,  
page 13 for proper pipe size for your unit. A list of sealed  
AL29-4C flue pipe manufacturers is located on page 24.  
Venting of Flue Products  
For venting flue products horizontally, follow all requirements  
in the installation instructions for sidewall venting.  
Termination point for the flue products must follow the  
clearance requirements in Sidewall Venting Termination,  
page 19.  
For proper operation, a barometric damper is provided for  
Horizontal DirectAireTM installations. The damper will help to  
ensure a draft between negative 0.04 to 0.08 inches w.c.

Service Manual  
Drain Tee Installation  
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 chimney or gas vent.  
A drain tee must be installed in the vent pipe to collect and  
dispose of any condensate that may occur in the vent system.  
The drain tee must be installed as the first fitting after the  
horizontal ell on the top of the unit (see FIG. 23B). Plastic  
drain tubing, sized per the vent manufacturer’s instructions,  
shall be provided as a drain line from the tee. The drain tubing  
must have a trap provided by a 3" (7.6cm) diameter circular  
trap loop in the drain tubing. Prime the trap loop by pouring a  
small quantity of water into the drain hose before assembly to  
the vent. Secure the trap loop in position with nylon wire ties.  
Use caution not to collapse or restrict the condensate drain line  
with the nylon wire ties. The condensate drain must be routed  
to a suitable drain for disposal of condensate that may occur in  
the direct vent system. Refer to the condensate drain  
installation instructions as supplied by the manufacturer of the  
vent material.  
When a vent system is disconnected for any reason, the flue  
must be reassembled and resealed according to the vent  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
The installed length of flue from the unit to the outside point  
of termination must not exceed 50 equivalent feet (15.2m).  
Subtract 5 feet (1.5m) of equivalent length for each 90° elbow.  
Subtract 2.5 feet (0.7m) of equivalent length for each 45°  
elbow.  
Vertical DV Venting Termination  
You must use the vent termination recommended by the vent  
manufacturer for vertical direct vent terminations. Follow all  
vertical venting termination information for clearances and  
location under Vertical Vent Termination Clearances and  
Location, page 11.  
Masonry Chimney Installation  
Do not use a standard masonry chimney to directly vent the  
combustion products from this unit.  
To use a masonry chimney, the chimney must use a sealed,  
corrosion-resistant liner system. Sealed, corrosion-resistant  
liner systems (single-wall, double-wall, flexible, or rigid) must  
be rated for use with a high efficiency, positive pressure vent  
system.  
Corrosion-resistant chimney liner systems are typically made  
from a high grade stainless steel such as AL29-4C. The liner  
must be properly sized and fully sealed throughout the entire  
length. Both the top and bottom of the masonry chimney must  
be capped and sealed to provide a dead air space around the  
liner.  
FIG. 23B Aire-Lock Direct Vent (Illustration with Sidewall  
Vent and Sidewall Combustion Air)  
ƽ WARNING: Do not combine the flue from  
this unit with the vent from any other appliance.  
Do not combine flues from multiple appliances  
into a common vent. The flue from this unit  
must be a dedicated stack.  
ƽ WARNING: Do not vent this unit into a  
masonry chimney without a sealed stainless  
steel liner system. Any breaks, leaks, or damage  
to the masonry flue/tile will allow the positive-  
pressure flue products to leak from the chimney  
and into occupied living spaces. This could  
cause serious injury or death due to carbon  
monoxide poisoning and other harmful flue  
products.  
Connect the flue vent directly to the flue outlet opening on the  
top of unit. Make the connections from the unit vent to the  
outside stack as direct as possible with no reduction in

INSTALLATION Continued  
Horizontal DV Venting Termination  
Horizontal venting uses the unit’s internal combustion air  
blowers to force the flue products out of the horizontally-  
terminated flue.  
Combustion Air Inlet Piping  
The Direct Vent system requires the installation of a pipe to  
supply combustion air from the outdoors directly to the unit.  
Make sure the combustion air inlet is in the same pressure zone  
as the vent terminal.  
In cold climates, use a Type-B double-wall vent pipe or an  
insulated single wall pipe for combustion air. This will help  
prevent moisture in the cool incoming air from condensing and  
leaking from the inlet pipe.  
You must purchase a horizontal direct vent kit from the  
appliance manufacturer to ensure proper operation. See  
TABLE–G, page 24 to determine which horizontal direct vent  
kit you need. When installing the vent cap, the wall opening  
must provide an air space clearance of 2 inches (5.1cm) around  
the flue pipe. The diameter of the opening for installation of  
the sidewall cap will be 4 inches (10.2cm) larger (minimum)  
than the nominal diameter of the installed vent pipe to the  
horizontal vent cap.  
ƽ CAUTION: Units that are shut down or will  
not operate may experience freezing due to  
convective airflow in the air inlet pipe.  
Install the horizontal vent cap from the outside. Mount the vent  
cap to the wall using four screws or wall anchors. Seal under  
the screw heads with caulking. Install the Category IV vent  
pipe from the unit to the vent cap. See detailed instructions  
packed with the horizontal direct vent kit.  
Length of Air Inlet Pipe  
The installed length of air inlet pipe from the unit to the outside  
air inlet cap must not exceed 50 equivalent feet (15.2m).  
Subtract 5 feet (1.5m) of equivalent length for each 90° elbow.  
Subtract 2.5 feet (0.7m) of equivalent length for each 45°  
elbow.  
Horizontal Vent Termination Clearances and  
Location  
Follow all sidewall venting termination information for  
clearances and location under Sidewall Vent Termination  
Clearances and Location, page 12.  
Do not exceed the limits for the combustion air inlet piping  
lengths.  
Connecting the Air Inlet Pipe to the Unit  
TABLE-G

Vertical Combustion Air Inlet Clearances  
You must locate the air inlet termination elbow at least 12"  
(30cm) above the roof or above normal snow levels.  
If the air inlet cap is within a 10-foot (3.05m) radius of the flue  
outlet, the point of termination for the combustion air inlet cap  
must be at least 3 feet (0.91m) below the point of flue gas  
termination (vent cap).  
Do not install the combustion air inlet cap closer than 10 feet  
(3.05m) from an inside corner of an L-shaped structure.  
INSTALLATION Continued  
ƽ WARNING: Locate and install the  
combustion air inlet termination correctly.  
Failure to do so can allow the discharge of flue  
products to be drawn into the combustion  
process. This can result in incomplete  
combustion and potentially hazardous levels of  
carbon monoxide in the flue products. This will  
cause operational problems and the spillage of  
flue products. Spillage of flue products can  
cause personal injury or death due to carbon  
monoxide poisoning.  
Horizontal Combustion Air Inlet Clearances  
You must locate the horizontal air inlet termination point at  
least 12" (30cm) above grade and above normal snow levels.  
If the air inlet cap is within a 10-foot (3.05m) radius of the flue  
outlet, the point of termination for the combustion air inlet cap  
must be at least 3 feet (0.91m) horizontally and 12 inches  
(30cm) below the point of flue gas termination (vent cap). Do  
not install the horizontal combustion air inlet cap above the  
flue outlet.  
You must locate the combustion air cap and the flue gas outlet  
on the same roof top surface (vertical direct vent system) or  
sidewall surface (horizontal direct vent system) and in the  
same pressure zone as the vent termination. Follow all  
clearance requirements listed on this page.  
Purchase and assemble the combustion air inlet cap to protect  
the air inlet from wind and weather.  
Do not install the combustion air inlet cap closer than 10 feet  
(3.05m) from an inside corner of an L-shaped structure.  
Alternatively, assemble the combustion air inlet cap for  
vertical rooftop air inlet from items purchased locally. The air  
inlet cap consists of two 90° elbows installed to the air inlet  
pipe (see FIG. 26). Install the first 90° elbow on the rooftop at  
the highest vertical point of the air inlet pipe. Install the second  
90° elbow on the horizontal outlet of the first elbow. The outlet  
of the second 90° elbow will be pointing down. You may use a  
90° elbow and a 90° straight elbow to make this assembly. If  
you use a straight piece of pipe between the two 90° elbows, it  
should not exceed 6" (51mm) in length.  
Multiple Sidewall Direct Vent Installations  
The combustion air inlet caps for multiple appliance  
installations must maintain the same minimum clearance from  
the closest flue vent cap as specified in single appliance  
installations. You may install multiple flue outlet caps side-by-  
side and multiple combustion air inlet caps side-by-side, but  
the air inlet must always be at least 3 feet (0.91m) horizontally  
and 12 inches (30cm) below the closest flue outlet. Do not  
install combustion air inlet caps above the flue outlets.  
Maintain all clearances and installation requirements for  
multiple appliance installations.

recirculation of the flue products into the combustion air inlet,  
follow all instructions in this section.  
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 outdoor  
cap air inlet, flue outlet and drain slot clear of snow, ice, leaves,  
debris, etc.  
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.  
* These kits include an outdoor vent cap and gasket.  
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

device and do not require venting to atmosphere, outside the  
building. The unit will not operate properly if the reference  
hose is removed or a vent to atmosphere is installed.  
Optional gas controls may require routing of bleeds and vents  
to the atmosphere, outside the building when required by local  
codes.  
MANIFOLD PRESSURE: Measure manifold pressure at the  
pressure tap on the downstream side of the combination gas  
valves. The gas regulator on the unit’s combination gas valve is  
adjustable to supply proper manifold pressure for normal  
operation. See TABLE–M, page 32 for net manifold pressure  
settings.  
If you must adjust regulator pressure, follow the instructions  
under Gas Manifold Pressure Adjustment, page 31. Do not  
increase regulator pressure beyond specified pressure setting.

9. If gas pressure is out of range, contact gas utility, gas  
supplier, qualified installer or service agency to determine  
necessary steps to provide proper gas pressure to the  
control.  
These units fire in multiple stages of burner input. Each stage  
of burner operation has a combination gas valve(s) 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 stick is located on the discharge side of the valve.  
10. If gas supply pressure is within normal range, turn the  
power switch to the “OFF” position.  
11. Turn gas valve knobs to the “OFF” position.  
12. Shut off gas supply at the manual gas cock in the gas  
piping to the unit. If fuel supply is L.P. gas, shut off gas  
supply at the tank.  
13. Remove the manometer and related fitting from the “inlet”  
side of the gas valve, replace 1/8" hex plug in gas valve  
and tighten.  
14. Turn on gas supply at the manual valve, turn on L.P. gas at

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 31.  
Venting of Combination Gas Valves  
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 in the event of a failed gas diaphragm  
does not exceed the maximum safe leakage rate allowed by  
agency requirements. Combination gas valve/regulators  
equipped with integral vent limiters are not required to have  
vent or relief lines piped to the outdoors. The termination of  
the vent limited opening on the combination gas  
valve/regulator complies with the safety code requirements of  
CSD-1, CF-190(a) as shipped from the appliance manufacturer  
without the installation of additional vent lines.  
ƽ WARNING: After completing any testing on  
the gas system, leak test all gas connections.  
Apply a soap/water solution to all gas connections  
while main burners are operating. Bubbles  
forming indicate a leak. Repair all leaks at once. Do  
not operate this unit with a leak in the gas train,  
valves or related piping.  
Checking Gas Supply Pressure

be operated at less than 12 PSIG.  
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 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.  
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.  
4. To avoid serious damage, do not energize the unit until the  
system is filled with water.  
5. Provide the unit with proper overload protection.  
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.  
IMPORTANT:  
Do not block access to the  
electrical cover plate when installing electrical  
conduit.

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. A heat exchanger head-loss chart (FIG.’s 34 and 35) is  
provided to assist in proper pump selection. Also provided is a  
System Temperature Rise Chart (TABLE–P, page 37). 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.  
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.

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 Diagram, page 64.

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 FIG. 36 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 primary (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) loop 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 FIG. 37. The multiple boilers are connected to the  
manifold in reverse return to assist in balancing flow to  
multiple boilers.

FLOW IN GALLONS PER MINUTE  
ƽ CAUTION: DO NOT allow the flow in the  
primary (system) 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.  
FIG. 35 Pressure Drop Chart 990,000 - 2,070,000  
Circulator Pump Specifications  
1. Maximum operating pressure for pump must exceed  
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.  
The installer must ensure that the boiler has adequate flow  
without excessive temperature rise. Low system flow can  
result in overheating of the boiler water which can cause short  
burner on cycles, system noise and in extreme cases, a  
knocking flash to steam. These conditions indicate the need to  
increase boiler flow by installation of a larger circulator pump  
or the installation of a system bypass. System noise may also  
indicate an oversized boiler.  
Circulator Pump Operation  
(Heating Boilers Only)  
The boiler pump should run continuously unless the boiler is  
provided with the pump delay control system. 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

990,000 - 2,070,000  
Be sure to install the LTV valve per the piping diagrams  
included with the kits. Alternatively, a bypass as shown in  
FIG. 38 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 40).

Radiant Floor and Snow Melt  
Heating Systems  
This type of heating boiler application operates in a low  
temperature range which requires a boiler bypass as described  
under Low Temperature Return Water Systems. 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.  
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.

INSTALLATION Continued  
Boiler Flow Rate  
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.  
ƽ CAUTION: The maximum flow rate through  
the boiler with a copper heat exchanger MUST  
NOT exceed the following:  
Input - Btu/hr  
Maximum Flow Rate  
1. Close all drain cocks and air vents.  
399,999 - 750,000  
990,000 - 2,070,000  
55 GPM  
90 GPM  
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.  
If higher flow rates are required through the boiler, an optional  
Cupro-Nickel heat exchanger is available. Consult the factory  
for specific application requirements.  
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.  
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.  
B. Repeat this procedure for each circuit.  
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 as shown in FIG. 40 will allow  
control of boiler flow.  
FIG. 40 Boiler Bypass Piping for High Flow Systems  
5. Open all valves after all circuits have been purged. Make sure  
there are no system leaks.  
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 °F.  
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.  
8. Recheck all air vents as described in step 4.

9. Inspect the liquid level in the expansion tank. The system  
must be full and under normal operating pressure to ensure  
proper water level in the expansion tank. Ensure that  
diaphragm type expansion tanks are properly charged and  
not water logged.  
10. Start the boiler according to the operating instructions in this  
manual. Operate the system, including the pump, boiler and  
radiation units, for one hour.  
11. Recheck the water level in the expansion tank. If it exceeds  
half the tank volume, open the tank to reduce the water level.  
Recheck pressure charge on diaphragm type tanks.  
12. Shut down the entire system and vent all radiation units and  
high points in the system.  
13. Close the water makeup valve and check the strainer and  
pressure reducing valve for sediment or debris. Reopen the  
water makeup valve.  
FIG. 41 Installation with a Chilled Water System  
14. Verify system pressure with the boiler pressure gauge before  
beginning regular operation.  
15. Within three days of startup, recheck and bleed all air vents  
and the expansion tank using these instructions.  
Boiler Operating Temperature Control  
This unit can have up to four sensors. The four sensors are for  
inlet temperature, outlet temperature, system/tank temperature,  
or outdoor air temperature.  
If the unit is ordered as a boiler without any options and you  
need remote sensing, you can relocate either the inlet or outlet  
sensors. For best performance, do not relocate the inlet or  
outlet sensors. Install an optional system sensor.  
If the unit is ordered as a water heater, the tank sensor is  
included with the unit. Do not relocate the inlet or outlet  
sensors from their bulbwells.  
The digital electronic operating temperature control for these  
units is located on the front control panel. The sensing  
elements for the temperature control are placed in the inlet and  
outlet bulbwells. See Remote Mounting of Sensors (Outdoor  
Air Sensor), on page 48 of this manual. Carefully observe the  
discharge water temperature on the initial boiler “ON” cycles.  
The location of the temperature sensor will generally require a  
lower temperature set point on the operating control to achieve  
the desired discharge water temperature from the boiler. These  
sensing element locations allow a boiler operating with a low  
to moderate flow rate to sustain longer burner on cycles,  
preventing short boiler “ON” cycles based on high discharge  
water temperatures. For example, a boiler operating with a  
180°F (82°C) discharge and a 20°F (11°C) temperature rise  
would require approximately a 160°F (71°C) to 165°F (74°C)  
set point with the temperature sensor installed on the inlet side  
of the heat exchanger. The exact temperature set point is based  
on your system’s requirements.  
Installation with a Chilled Water  
System  
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  
FIG. 41).

External safety devices connected to these terminals will  
function to protect the unit. Devices connected to the  
Intermittent terminals (B1 and B2) are monitored only when  
there is an active Call for Heat. Devices connected to the  
Continuous terminals (A1 and A2) are monitored continuously  
and will activate an alarm (if the unit is equipped with the  
alarm option) anytime the safety device senses an abnormal  
condition. An additional wire may be field installed from these  
safety devices to terminals A3 or B3 (as appropriate) to  
activate an alarm (if the unit is equipped with the alarm  
option).  
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  
on operation. Excessive build up of minerals in the heat  
exchanger can cause a non-warrantable failure.  
Terminal Strip Connection Options  
The scenarios shown in FIG. 42 represent typical terminal strip  
connection requirements. The terminal strips are located on  
the left side of the unit under the electrical access panel. Other  
applications may be accommodated, but must be addressed  
individually.  
FIG. 42-A shows the position of jumpers as shipped from the  
factory for stand-alone operation of boilers or water heaters  
(Modes 1 or 2). NOTE: Boilers equipped with the  
Indoor/Outdoor Air Reset option should have the 3C-3NO

TABLE–Q, page 44 lists the Adjust Menu settings for the  
different operation modes.  
Inlet Water Temperature Sensor  
This sensor measures the inlet water temperature coming into  
the unit. This is the default controlling sensor as shipped from  
the factory.  
Access Levels  
There are two levels of programming access for this  
temperature control. These are the Advanced access level and  
the User access level. The control is set to the Advanced access  
level at the factory. You may wish to switch the control to the  
User level, limiting the operator to certain basic programming  
options. TABLE–Q shows the various menu settings for this  
control. The items marked with an asterisk (*) indicate  
adjustments only available in the Advanced access level.  
Outlet Water Temperature Sensor  
This sensor measures the outlet water temperature leaving the  
unit.  
Multi-Purpose Temperature Sensor  
Depending on what mode the control is in, this sensor is either  
a tank sensor or a system sensor.  
Placement of Sensors  
Outside Air Temperature Sensor  
To switch from the Advanced access level to the User access  
level, move the dip switch located on the back side of the  
temperature control (see FIG. 49).  
The outside air temperature sensor will only be used for boiler  
systems. The outside air sensor is optional. You can 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 48.  
DIP SWITCH  
Inlet and Outlet Water Temperature Sensors  
The inlet and outlet water temperature sensors are placed into  
the inlet or outlet bulbwells on the boiler. These sensors are  
installed by the factory in new units. If you have to reposition  
these sensors, use a thermal-conductive paste to coat the  
sensors. Insert the sensors in the appropriate bulbwell. Make  
sure to insert the sensors 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.  
FIG. 49 User Access Level Dip Switch Location  
Temperature Control  
This is a four-stage temperature control that controls the burner  
ignition, pump, and alarm functions. This temperature  
controller can measure four different sensor inputs. They are as  
follows:  
1. Outside Air Temperature Sensor  
2. Inlet Water Temperature Sensor  
3. Outlet Water Temperature Sensor  
4. Multi-Purpose Temperature Sensor  
Multi-Purpose Temperature Sensor  
You can use the multi-purpose temperature sensor as a tank  
sensor or as a system sensor. Install a bulbwell (provided by  
the appliance manufacturer) in a water tank or a system loop.  
Place the multi-purpose temperature sensor in the bulbwell to  
monitor the water temperature.  
Tank Sensor: This is used in water heating applications. Place  
sensor in water storage tank to measure water temperature. For  
more information on mounting the sensor, see Remote  
Mounting of Sensors, page 48.

fire before stage 1 and stage 4 cannot fire before stage 3.  
Staging Logic  
PID Staging Logic  
(Outdoor Air Mode 1 Only)  
There are two different types of staging logic used in the  
temperature control; Proportional (step) Staging Logic and  
PID Staging Logic. The staging logic used depends upon what  
mode the control is running under.  
This method is used on Mode 1 for outdoor reset with reset  
override operation (using the outside air temperature sensor).  
The PID method of staging allows the control to decide the  
most effective way to operate the stages to maintain an  
accurate temperature and minimize short cycling.  
Proportional (Step) Staging Logic  
The control continuously monitors the actual supply  
temperature and compares it to the target temperature. The  
amount of error (proportional), the time the error has been  
present (integral), and the rate of change (derivative),  
determine if an additional stage is required to turn on or off.  
The proportional method of staging is based on manually  
adjusted settings which determine when the next stage is required  
to fire. This method is used on Mode 1 for set point operation  
(with no outdoor sensor) and Mode 2 for water heating. The  
adjustable settings are:  
The control automatically calculates the inter-stage differential  
as well as the delays between stages turning on or off.  
OUTDR START, OUTDR DSGN, BOIL START and BOIL  
DSGN need to be field set based on installation design criteria to  
establish the reset curve. Verify that the WWSD is set to the  
desired value. Adjust BOIL MAX and BOIL MIN to appropriate  
values for the application.  
Note: BOIL MIN should not be less than a setting which will  
ensure the return water temperature to the unit being 140°F  
minimum.  
BOIL MASS should only need adjustment if changes in the  
interstage delay are necessary.  
Set Point TARGET 1, 2, 3, or 4: Staging set point target for each  
stage. Typically, users set the four different stages a few degrees  
apart to allow segments of the heater to come on as the  
temperature drops.  
DIFF 1, 2, 3, or 4: Staging differential for each stage.  
STG DLY: Interstage delay to turn on between stage 1 and 2 and  
between stage 3 and 4.  
How It Works  
A stage will turn on once the temperature drops to its Set point  
TARGET minus DIFF. The stage will turn off once the  
temperature rises to its Set point TARGET.  
EXAMPLE:  
Graphic Symbols  
Using stage one of the control as an  
example, the corresponding load would  
be energized and de-energized at the  
following temperatures based on the  
programmed settings.  
The screen will display two graphic symbols. One is a circle  
with a triangle inside and the other is a graphic representation  
of a blower (see FIG. 50). The circle with a triangle inside  
represents the pump. When this symbol is present, the pump is  
operating. When the blower symbol is present, the controller is  
calling for heat.

Programming For Mode 1, Boiler  
Operation  
Mode 1 is for boiler operation. Under Mode 1, there are two  
sublevels of operation.  
1. Operate off of set point.  
2. Operate off of outdoor air reset curve.  
There is a time delay (STG DLY) that applies in the staging on  
sequence between stage 1 and 2 and between stage 3 and 4. For  
example, in order for stage 2 to turn on, the temperature must  
drop to Set point TARGET 2 minus DIFF 2, and the STG DLY  
must elapse. The STG DLY begins once stage 1 turns on. This  
operation applies between stage 3 and 4 as well.

Remote Mounting of Sensors  
You must mount the outside air temperature sensor outside the  
building. To mount remote sensors, follow the guidelines below.  
Take care to correctly wire sensors to the unit. Erratic  
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  
contactors.

Service Manual  
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.  
6. Do not mount sensor with leadwire end pointing up in an area  
where condensation can occur.  
7. Use shielded wiring to connect the sensor to the control when  
the possibility of an electrically noisy environment exist.  
Shielded cable is recommended on all cable runs of more  
than 25 feet in length.  
Note: Ground the cable shield at the connection to the  
boiler/electronic temperature control only. Do not ground the  
shielded cable at the sensor end.  
FIG. 52 Hot Surface Ignition Control Module  
Hot Surface Ignition Control Module  
To maintain temperature accuracy, sensor wires should be at least  
18 AWG. See Table T below.  
Ignition Module Lockout Functions  
The ignition module(s) 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 for the ignition control. The reset buttons are located on  
the front of the control panel. 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 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. 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 electronic 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).  
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.  
4. Be sure the installed circulation pipes between the water  
heater and storage tank are not less than 2" in diameter on  
399,999 - 750,000 Btu/hr models and 2 1/2" in diameter on  
990,000 - 2,070,000 Btu/hr models.  
5. Common manifold piping for multiple unit installations  
will require larger minimum pipe sizes and tank circulating  
tappings to ensure proper flow. See TABLE–X, page 53.  
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–W.  
Water Velocity Control  
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.  
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 little velocity through  
the tubes. Excessive pitting or erosion in  
the tube is caused by too much 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  
350 ppm. See Water Chemistry, page 52.

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 boiler 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.”

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.

This pump is sized based on installation of a single storage  
tank and heater in close proximity. If the number of fittings and  
straight pipe exceeds the quantities shown in this section, a  
larger pump will be required.  
The standard pump selection is based on the following pipe  
and fittings from the unit to the storage tank:  
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 Programming  
Temperature Control, page 43, for instructions to program the  
digital temperature control. The immersion thermostat or  
electronic control is factory pre-set 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.

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.  
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-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.  
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. Remember,  
no water heating system provides exact temperatures at all  
times. Let system operate a few days at your programmed  
settings to determine correct settings for your needs.  
1. These units are equipped with an electronic operating  
temperature control.  
2. The electronic control set points are pre-programmed to a  
low test setting when shipped from the factory.  
3. Reprogram 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.

be tempered in the storage tank before entering the heater. See  
FIG. 54 and typical installation drawings provided with the unit  
for correct piping. Higher water temperatures reduce condensate  
formation.  
• 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).  
High Water Temperature Limit Control  
The unit is equipped with an adjustable setting, manual-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.  
ƽ WARNING: Return water temperatures  
must not be less than 140°F (60°C). If lower  
return water temperatures are required, follow  
the instructions for Low Temperature Return  
Water Systems, page 36.  
Optional Relief Valve  
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.  
4. The temperature set points for all stages should be set at  
the same temperature when supplying potable hot water  
for domestic use.  
5. Stage firing is achieved by setting the differentials at  
approximately 3°F, 5°F, 7°F and 9°F for stages 1, 2, 3, and  
4. Stage firing of a potable water heater should only be  
used to replace system standby heat loss.  
6. All stages of burner operation should fire when there is a  
major draw from the potable hot water storage system.  
This prevents possible condensate problems and ensures a  
rapid recovery of the hot water used.  
Thermal Expansion  
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!  
Cathodic Protection  
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.  
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

ƽ CAUTION: Label all wires prior to  
disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring  
errors can cause improper and dangerous  
operation.  
Any sign of soot around the outer jacket, at the burners or in  
the areas between the fins on the copper heat exchanger  
indicates a need for cleaning. The following cleaning  
procedures must only be performed by a qualified serviceman  
or installer. Proper service is required to maintain safe  
operation. Properly installed and adjusted units seldom need  
flue cleaning.  
Appliance Area  
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials,  
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.  
IMPORTANT: All gaskets on disassembled  
components must be replaced with new gaskets  
on reassembly. Gasket kits are available from  
your distributor.  
Water Circulating Pump  
Inspect pump every six months and oil as necessary. Use SAE  
30 non-detergent oil or lubricant specified by pump  
manufacturer.

1. Turn off main power to unit.  
Burner Flames  
2. Turn off main manual gas shutoff to unit.  
3. Remove the front outer jacket panels.  
4. Disconnect manifold from gas train using union(s) just  
below each gas valve(s).  
Visually check main burner flames at each start up after long  
shutdown periods or at least every six months. Burner  
viewports are located on the right and left sides of the unit.  
5. Remove mounting screws from manifold mounting  
brackets. Pull the manifold/orifice assembly away from  
burners. Repeat for each manifold assembly.  
6. Remove two mounting screws from burner and slide  
burner out toward front of unit. Use caution to prevent  
damage to burners, refractory, hot surface igniter or wiring.  
7. Remove soot from burners with a stiff bristle brush. Dirt  
may be removed from burner ports by rinsing the burner  
thoroughly with water. Drain and dry burners before re-  
installing. Damaged burners must be replaced.  
FIG. 55 Flame Pattern Illustration  
When installed in a dusty and dirty location, the burners may  
require cleaning on a 3 to 6 month schedule or as needed,  
based on severity of contamination. Contaminants can be  
drawn in with the combustion air. Non-combustible particulate  
matter such as dust, dirt, concrete dust or dry wall dust can  
block burner ports and cause non-warrantable failure. The  
standard inlet air filter will help eliminate dust and dirt from  
entering the unit. Use extreme care when operating a unit for  
temporary heat during new construction. The burners could  
require a thorough cleaning before the unit is placed in service.  
Normal Flame: A normal flame is blue with slight yellow tips,  
has a well-defined inner cone, and displays no lifting flames.  
Yellow Tips: The usual causes for yellow tips on the burner  
flame are burner air flow blockage or partial obstruction.  
Yellow Flames: The usual causes for yellow flames are  
primary air flow blockage to the burner(s) or excessive gas  
input. Correct this condition immediately.

Combustion Air Filter  
This unit has a standard air filter located at the combustion air  
inlet. This filter helps ensure clean air is used for the  
combustion process. Check this filter every month and replace  
when it becomes dirty. The filter size on the 399,999 - 750,000  
Btu/hr models is 12" x 12" x 1" (30.5cm x 30.5cm x 2.5cm)  
and 16" x 16" x 1" (40.6cm x 40.6cm x 2.5cm) on the 990,000  
- 2,070,000 Btu/hr models. You can find these commercially  
available filters at any home center or HVAC supply store.  
Venting System  
Examine the venting system at least once a year. Check more  
often in the first year to determine inspection interval. Check  
all joints and pipe connections for tightness, corrosion or  
deterioration. Clean screens in the venting air intake system as  
required. Have the entire system, including the venting system,  
periodically inspected by a qualified service agency.  
Air Flow  
Check frequently to be sure the flow of combustion and  
ventilation air to the unit is not obstructed.

12. Reassemble outer jacket panels.  
13. Cycle unit and check for proper operation.  
Combustion Air Fan Adjustment  
Electrical  
The combustion air fans are factory pre-set and should not  
need adjustment in most cases. Follow the steps below to  
adjust the fan if a continuous Low Air status code occurs.  
This unit uses a transformer to supply a low voltage control  
circuit. The voltage on the secondary side should be 24 to  
28 VAC when measured with a volt meter. The 399,999 -  
750,000 Btu/hr models have a 5 AMP circuit breaker provided  
on the secondary side of the transformer and the 990,000 -  
2,070,000 Btu/hr models have a 7 AMP circuit breaker  
provided on the secondary side of the transformer. A tripped  
circuit breaker indicates a short in the 24VAC controls that  
must be corrected.  
Note: On the 399,999 - 750,000 Btu/hr models the air shutter  
is adjusted on the side of the fan duct as depicted in FIG. 56.  
On the 990,000 - 2,070,000 Btu/hr models the air shutter is

Set Up Procedure  
CLEANING AND  
Beside each fan duct is an air pressure switch with a large and  
a small tube delivering pressure from points inside the unit (see  
FIG. 59). The pressure in the large tube is the chamber  
pressure. The pressure in the small tube is the burner pressure.  
They act together to make the pressure switch. By  
disconnecting the caps from the tees in the pressure switch  
hoses and connecting them to either side of a manometer, you  
can read the differential pressure to the switch.  
MAINTENANCE Continued  
Adjusting Differential Air Pressure  
The following is a recommended method for setting the  
differential air pressure (ΔP) for each fan.  
The “ (+)” connection on the manometer connects to the tee in  
the tubing from the units front chamber and the “ (-) ”  
connection on the manometer connects to the tee in the small  
tubing from the burner.  
If the air pressure switch does not make within 60 seconds  
from the time the fans turn ON, the ignition module will go  
into a soft lockout period (approximately five minutes in  
duration) during which time the fans are turned OFF and the  
module shows the Low Air flash code. If necessary, soft  
lockout can be circumvented by cycling power to the ON/OFF  
switch to cycle power to the unit.

OVERVIEW  
This sequence of operation can be considered the order of  
events in sequential order that occur after the unit has received  
a call for heat. The process begins with 120VAC power  
entering the unit and ends with the unit going into an idle state  
after completion of a successful call for heat. Note: The  
following descriptions do not include remotely connected  
devices that may be connected to the unit. Refer to the  
wiring diagram for actual point to point wiring connections  
that show power delivery.  
POWER SUPPLY  
FIG. 59 Combustion Air Adjustment with a Manometer to  
set Differential Pressures  
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.  
Servicing Hot Surface Igniter and  
Ignition Module  
This unit uses a proven hot surface ignition control module and  
a hot surface igniter. The hot surface ignition module is not  
repairable. Any modification or repairs will invalidate the  
warranty.  
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 modules. Note: The On/Off switch does not  
provide for disconnection of power being supplied to any  
remotely connected devices that may be connected to the  
unit (i.e. pumps, louvers, power venters, etc.). As such, it  
may be necessary to locate and turn off power to these  
items before attempting to service the unit.  
ƽ WARNING: Do not attempt to repair a faulty  
hot surface igniter or ignition module. Any  
modification or repairs may create hazardous  
conditions that result in property damage,  
personal injury, fire, explosion and/or toxic  
gases.  
A faulty hot surface igniter or ignition module must be  
replaced with an identical part. A specification igniter and  
ignition control module for this specific unit is available from  
your local distributor. Do not use general purpose field  
replacement ignition modules or igniters.  
LOW VOLTAGE SUPPLY TRANSFORMER  
A 120VAC to 24VAC transformer located within the control  
panel provides 24VAC/60Hz to many of the components  
located on the unit. One of its 24VAC outputs (blue) is  
connected to a circuit breaker and the other (yellow) is  
connected to chassis ground.  
Ignition System Checkout  
1. Turn off gas supply to unit.  
2. Turn electric power on.  
3. Program each stage of the temperature control to settings  
above water temperature or to the highest safe setting.  
4. Each igniter will cycle on trial(s) for ignition.  
5. Each ignition module will lock out and turn the alarm light  
on.  
24VAC CIRCUIT BREAKER  
A circuit breaker is provided for protection of the low voltage  
supply transformer from overloads and short circuits. The  
breaker is located inside the unit on the right rear 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.  
6. Program each stage of the temperature control to the  
desired temperature set points.

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.  
SEQUENCE OF  
OPERATION Continued  
TWO SPEED BLOWER(S)  
MANUAL RESET HIGH-LIMIT THERMOSTAT  
A manual reset high limit thermostat is provided as backup for  
the electronic adjustable temperature controller. An adjustable  
dial thermostat 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.  
(Controlled by Ignition Module and Relay Board)  
Two-speed blower(s) serve to provide combustion air to the unit.  
The blower is provided with a high and low speed tap.  
Depending upon the number of stages in operation, a blower’s  
speed may increase or decrease accordingly. Stage 2 will increase  
the blower’s speed to high.  
PRESSURE SWITCH  
(Activated by Blower Turning On)  
EMS/SEQUENCER/REMOTE AQUASTAT  
TERMINALS  
One pressure switch is provided per blower to monitor its on/off  
operation. Upon a call for heat, 24VAC is delivered to the  
pressure switch. If the blower being monitored generates  
adequate air pressure, the pressure switch closes to deliver 24VAC  
to their respective ignition module’s pressure switch monitoring  
input terminal.  
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.  
PREPURGE  
(Ignition Module Function)  
Once an ignition module sees a 24VAC input from its pressure  
switch, it runs the blowers for approximately 15 seconds in order  
to purge the combustion chamber of any unburned fuel/air  
mixture.  
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.  
TRIAL FOR IGNITION  
(Ignition Module Function)  
Once an ignition module has completed its prepurge period, it  
turns on a 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.  
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 during a “call for heat” cycle.  
Connection to either of these terminals requires the removal of a  
factory-installed jumper located on the terminal strip.  
IGNITER  
(Controlled by Ignition Module)  
One igniter per ignition module is provided in order to ignite the  
fuel/air mixture and its on/off operation is controlled by the  
ignition module.  
ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER  
(Operator) A multiple stage electronic temperature controller is  
provided on the unit and it serves to maintain a user selectable  
temperature set point. In addition to maintaining a set point, it can  
provide for various desired modes of operation. Ultimately, the  
temperature controller delivers 24VAC to the ignition module and  
pressure switch when it senses heat mode is desired.  
RELAYS  
(Controlled by Electronic Temperature Controller and Ignition  
Module)  
A relay is provided to switch each blower from low to high speed  
and to deliver power from the primary stages to the secondary  
stages depending upon the electronic thermostat’s settings. The  
relay also serves to override the pressure switch proving function  
of the second ignition control (if equipped) to activate during a  
call for heat because both blowers run whenever any or all stages  
IGNITION MODULE  
(Controlled by Electronic Temperature Controller)  
Upon sensing the 24VAC delivered to the ignition module by the  
electronic controller, the ignition modules check for a shorted

Service Manual  
are energized. This does not interfere with the safety functionality  
of either pressure switch or the ignition modules.  
IGNITION  
(Ignition Module Function)  
Once the trial for ignition period has been completed, the ignition  
module sends 24VAC to the gas valves on one or the other of the  
primary stages . Gas valves should open and allow gas to flow to  
the burners in the stages 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.  
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. Depending upon the number of stages being called upon  
by the electronic thermostat controller, more or less B.T.U.’s are  
delivered to the water within the heat exchanger. Once the  
temperature rise is sufficient to allow stages to be turned off, the  
electronic thermostat will begin to shut down stages in  
preprogrammed order to prevent the set point from being  
exceeded. When the temperature of the water reaches that of the  
highest programmed set point, all stages will be shut down.  
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 blowers for approximately 25 seconds in  
order to allow the combustion chamber to be purged of all  
combustion by-products.  
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.
