HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS

This boiler must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code and/or local codes. Correct wiring is imperative for proper operation.

This boiler must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the boiler.

CORRECT GAS

MAKE SURE THE GAS ON WHICH THE BOILER WILL OPERATE IS THE SAME AS THAT SPECI FIED ON THE

BOILER RATING PLATE. DO NOT INSTALL THE BOILER IF

EQUIPPED FOR A DIFFERENT TYPE OF GAS — CONSULT

YOUR SUPPLIER.

PRECAUTIONS

IF THE UNIT IS EXPOSE D TO THE FOLLOWING, D O NO T OPERATE UNTIL ALL CORRECTIVE S TE PS HAVE B EE N MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN:

1. EXPOSURE TO FIRE.

2. IF DAMAGED.

3. FIRING WITHOUT WATER.

4. SOOTING.

Rated inputs are suitable up t o 2000 feet (61 0 m) elevation. Co nsu lt the factory for i nst all ation a t alt itu des ove r 200 0 feet (610 m).

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS

IN CANADA

Acceptance of these models for use at altitudes above 2000 feet (600 m) is based on eld test of the individual installation by the provincial/state authority having jurisdiction.

IN THE U.S.A.

WARNING

INSTALLATIONS ABOVE 2000 FEET REQUIRE REPLACEMENT

OF THE BURNER ORIFICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE

CURRENT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE (ANSI Z223.1). FAILURE TO REPLACE THE ORIFICES WILL

RESULT IN IMPROPER AND INEFFICIENT OPERATION OF THE

APPLIANCE RESULTING IN THE PRODUCTION OF INCREASED LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE GAS IN EXCESS OF SAFE

LIMITS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL

INJURY OR DEATH.

For specic orice requirements, please refer to the appropriate section of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

You should contact your gas supplier for any specic changes which may be required in your area.

Ratings specified by manufacturers for most boilers apply for elevations up to 2000 feet (600 m). For elevations above 2000 feet (600 m) ratings must be reduced by a rate of 4% for each 1000 feet (300 m) above sea level.

Example: If a boiler is rated at 610,000 Btu/hr. at sea level, to operate the boiler at 5000 feet (1500 m) it must be derated by 20% (4% x 5) to a new rating of 488,000 Btu/hr.

A. O. Smith does build some models specically for high altitude service. Please check the rating plate before making changes.

The input reduction is primarily achieved by reducing the size of the main burner orifices. To do this, the main burner orifices re qui re repl aceme nt with orific es size d for the pa rticu lar installation elevation. When ordering, be sure to state the model number and the altitude of the location where the boiler is being installed.

Upon field deration of the boiler, adjustment to the gas pressure regulator is required. See CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE INPUT in this manual for inlet and manifold pressure requirements. Also, due to the input rating reduction required at high altitudes, the output rating of the appliance is also reduced and should be compensated for in the sizing of the equipment for applications.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTION

AUTO RESET HIGH LIMIT

Th e hig h l im it is a safety devic e w ired in s eries wit h t he ignition system. Set the high limit control to approximately 10 ab ove the maxi mum d esigned system temper at ure. If th e boi ler out let wa ter te mpe r atu re shou l d exc e ed the hig h limit setting, the main gas valve will close but the circulator will continue to operate. Maximum adjustable setting is 115 (239°F) cut-out with a 3

C (50F) to 250C (450F) adjustable

differential, see Figure 2.

FIGURE 2.

INTERMITTENT IGNITION CONTROL MODULE

The Honeywell S-8600 control module contains the electronic components of the system and also serves as a control wiring system for the controls mounted on the heater. The control module performs the following functions:

3. Opens the pilot valve.

4. Discontinues ignition spark when the pilot flame is established. The S-8600 control used on propane gas models provides safety lockout if the pilot fails to ignite within the pilot flame estab lishing period. The S-8600 control used on natural gas models continues trial for ignition until pilot flame is established.

5. After proof of pilot ame, opens then main valve.

6. On a power loss, shuts the heater down. When power is restored it will begin a new ignition cycle.

7. On a loss of ame, shuts off main gas and starts trial for pilot ignition.

PLEASE SEE TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.

1. Checks for safe-start by sensing for a false ame condition on start-up.

2. Generates a potential of 15,000 volts for spark ignition of the pilot burner.

THERMAL BALANCER

Figure 4 shows the internal wiring of the thermal balancer. The device may be tested after disconnecting the four leads from their respective terminals on the unit.

1. Apply a test light to the yellow and red leads.

• The lamp should light as the contact in this circuit is normally closed when the resistor is cool.

2. Apply a light to the black and yellow leads.

• The lamp should not light as the contact in this circuit is normally open when the resistor is cool.

3. Remove the test light.

4. Apply 120 volts to the white and red leads which power the 1900

ohm resistor. After a warming period the contacts of the thermal balancer should operate.

5. Remove the test light.

6. Apply the test light as described in steps 1 and 2.

While the resistor is still warm the lamp indications should be the

opposite as described previously.

FIGURE 4.

HIGH LIMIT SWITCH

FIGURE 5.

SAFETY FLOW SWITCH

The safety ow switch is a safety device which must be installed at the water outlet of the unit to prevent main burner operation in the event of inadequate water ow through the unit.

An accessory package containing a safety ow switch is available for this application.

This switch may be mounted in a horizontal pipe line or a vertical pipe line with upward water ow. Do not install the switch where the water ow is downward.

For proper performance mount the switch in a section of pipe where there is a straight run of at least 5 pipe diameters on each side of the ow switch (i.e. do not locate adjacent to valves, elbows, orices, etc.).

The ow switch shall be mounted in a standard 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1" tee for a 1-1/2" pipe application. For larger pipe sizes use a reducing tee in order to keep the switch as close to the pipe as possible. Install the ow switch in the branch (top) opening of the reducing tee and provide adequate paddle length in the ow stream. For example in a 2" pipe installation use a 2" x 2" x 1" reducing tee. For 2", or 3" pipe use paddle segments as supplied. For other pipe sizes (i.e. 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2-1/2") trim the paddle to the proper pipe size, see Figure 6 on page 10. If a standard tee is used, install a face or hex bushing in the top opening. The paddle must be adjusted or trimmed to the size of the pipe in which it will be installed.

MANUAL RESET HIGH LIMIT

This boiler is equipped with a manual reset high limit switch, located under the small cover on the side of the jacket, see Fi gur e 5. T his devi ce p rov ide s posi tiv e s hut dow n of the boiler in the event of boiler or system malfunction. Should the surface temperatu re of the copper t ubing hea t exc ha nger rea ch 25 0 °F (12 0°C), th e h i gh li mit sw itc h will ac tiv ate , the gas valve will c lose, the pilot and main burners will be extinguished. If the high limi t switch should shut of f unit, check the following conditions:

• No water in boiler.

• Restricted water flow through the boiler.

• Improper wiring (boiler firing without circulator

operating).

• Pump failure.

After correcting failure condition remove the protector switch cover and push the reset button. The high limit switch may be reset after the coil surface cools to 6°F (3.3°C) below the trip setting.

CAUTION

Any part of the paddle must not touch the pipe or any restrictions in the pipe. Screw the ow switch in position so the at of the paddle is at right angles to the ow. The arrow on the side case must point in the direction of the ow.

The safety ow switch may be eld adjusted to obtain higher minimum ow rates than those shown in table 3.

To adjust the ow rate setting:

1. Remove the ow switch cover.

2. For higher ow rate - turn the range adjusting screw clockwise.

CAUTION

The switch is factory set at approximately the minimum ow rate, see Table 3 on page 9. It must not be set lower than the factory setting as this may result in the switch failing to return at 'no ow' condition.

3. For lowe r flow rat e - tur n the rang e adjus tin g sc rew counterclockwise.

CAUTION

Paddle must be trimmed at the dotted arc. It must not touch the pipe or have any restriction when installed.

4. Replace ow switch cover. Where units are installed in multiples, each boiler must be individually protected by a safety ow switch.

FIGURE 6.

SAFETY RELIEF VALVES

Your local code authority may have other specic relief valve requirements not covered below.

WARNING

THE PURPOSE OF A SAFETY RELIEF VALVE IS TO AVOID EXCESSIVE PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE INTO THE STEAM RANGE WHICH MAY CAUSE SCALDING AT FIXTURES, TANK EXPLOSION, SYSTEM OR BOILER DAMAGE.

TO AVOID SCALDING OR WATER DAMAGE A DRAIN LINE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A RELIEF VALVE TO DIRECT DISCHARGE TO A SAFE LOCATION. A DRAIN LINE MUST NOT BE REDUCED

FROM THE SIZE OF THE VALVE OUTLET AND IT MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY VALVES BETWEEN THE BOILER AND THE RELIEF VALVE OR THE RELIEF VALVE AND THE DRAIN EXIT. IN ADDITION, THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY RESTRICTIONS IN A DRAIN LINE NOR SHOULD IT BE ROUTED THROUGH AREAS WHERE FREEZING CONDITIONS MIGHT OCCUR. DO NOT THREAD OR CAP THE DRAIN LINE EXIT. RESTRICTING OR BLOCKING A DRAIN LINE WILL DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THE RELIEF VALVE AND MAY CREATE AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

INSTALL A DRAIN LINE WITH A DOWNWARD SLOPE SUCH THAT

IT NATURALLY DRAINS ITSELF.

If any safety relief valve is replaced, the replacement valve must comply with the current editions of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel

Code, Section IV or CSA B51, as applicable. Select a relief valve with a discharge NOT less than the boiler input, and a pressure rating NOT exceeding the working pressure of any component in the system.

A. O. Smith supplies a 125 psi relief valve for hot water supply systems and 50 psi relief valve for space heating application.

An ASME rated temperature and pressure relief valve must be installed on each and every water storage tank in a hot water supply system.

The storage tank temperature and pressure (T & P) relief valve must comply with the applicable contruction provisions of the Standard for Relief valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, Z21.22 - CSA 4.4. The T & P valve must be of the automatic reset type and not embody a single-use type of fusible plug, cartridge or linkage.

The T & P relief valve should have a maximum temperature rating of 100°C (210°F), a pressure rating NOT exceeding the lowest rated working pressure of any system component, and a discharge capacity exceeding the total input of the water boilers supplying water to the storage tank.

Locate the T & P relief valve (a) in the top of the storage tank or (b) in the side of the tank on centerline within upper 6 inches from the top of the tank. See Figures 28 to 33, Pages 34 to 38. Tapping shall be threaded in accordance with the latest version of the Standard for Pipe Threads, General Purpose (inch), ANSI/ASME B.120.1.

The water temperature in the storage tank is controlled by the Tank Temperature Control. The sensing element is mounted inside the hot water storage tank.

DANGER

HOT WATER TEMPERATURES REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATIC

DISHWASHER AND LAUNDRY USE CAN CAUSE SCALD BURNS

RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH INJURY OCCURS VARIES WITH THE PERSON’S AGE AND TIME OF EXPOSURE. THE SLOWER RESPONSE TIME OF CHILDREN, AGED OR DISABLED PERSONS INCREASES THE HAZARDS TO THEM. NEVER ALLOW SMALL CHILDREN TO USE A HOT WATER TAP, OR TO DRAW THEIR OWN BATH WATER. NEVER LEAVE A CHILD OR DISABLED PERSON UNATTENDED IN A BATHTUB OR SHOWER.

Mark location with a class III Label. See ANSI Z21.10.1, Part 1, Marking, See CAN/CSA B149.

The tank temperature control is adjustable from 100°F (37.7°C) to 220°F (104.4°C). It is recommended that lower water temperatures be used to avoid the risk of scalding. It is further recommended, in all cases, that the water temperature be set for the lowest temperature which satises the user’s hot water needs. This will also provide the most energy efcient operation of the water heater and minimize scale formation.

THE WATER HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE

THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SET TEMPERATURES. SETTING THE WATER TEMPERATURE AT 120°F (49°C) WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF SCALDS. Some states or provinces require settings at specic lower temperatures. Below you will nd listed the approximate time-to-burn relationship for normal adult skin. Valves for reducing point-of-use temperature by mixing cold and hot water are available. Also available are inexpensive devices that attach to faucets to limit hot water temperatures. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority.

160°F (71°C) 150°F (65°C) 140°F (60°C) 130°F (54°C) 120°F (49°C)

USE ANTI-SCALD VALVE(S) in the hot water system to reduce the risks of scalds at points of use such as lavatories, sinks and bathing facilities.

A change in water temperature in the storage tank lower than the Tank Temperature Control setting will c ause the sensor to close its contacts and consequently energize the boiler.

If the Tank Temperature Control is out of calibration, replace it with a new one; do not attempt to fix this control.

GENERAL

REQUIRED ABILITY

Installation or service of this boiler requires ability equivalent to that of a licensed tradesman in the eld involved. Plumbing, air supply, venting, gas supply and electrical work are required.

LOCATION

When installing the boiler, consideration must be given to proper location. Location selected should be as close to the stack or chimney as practicable with adequate air supply and as centralized with the piping system as possible. This location should also be such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).

THE BOILER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED ON CARPETING.

THE BOILER SHOULD NOT BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE

IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING.

LOCATE IT NEAR A FLOOR DRAIN. THE BOILER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE LEAKAGE FROM THE BOILER OR

CONNECTIONS WILL NOT RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ADJACENT AREA OR TO LOWER FLOORS OF THE STRUCTURE.

WHEN SUCH LOCATIONS CANNOT BE AVOIDED, A METAL DRAIN PAN SHOULD BE INSTALLED UNDER THE BOILER. Such pans should be fabricated with sides at least 60mm (2-1/2") deep, with length and width at least 50mm (2") greater than the diameter of the boiler and must be piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air ow.

WARNING

KEEPING BOILER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.

WARNING

THERE IS A RISK IN USING FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH AS BOILERS IN ROOMS OR AREAS WHERE GASOLINE, OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR ENGINE DRIVEN EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES ARE STORED, OPERATED OR REPAIRED. FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE HEAVY AND TRAVEL ALONG THE FLOOR AND MAY BE IGNITED BY THE IGNITER OR MAIN BURNER FLAMES CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION. SOME LOCAL CODES

PERMIT OPERATION OF GAS APPLIANCES IF INSTALLED 18 INCHES OR MORE ABOVE THE FLOOR. THIS MAY

REDUCE THE RISK IF LOCATION IN SUCH AN AREA CANNOT

BE AVOIDED.

WARNING

FLAMMABLE ITEMS, PRESSURIZED CONTAINERS OR ANY OTHER POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDOUS ARTICLES MUST NEVER BE PLACED ON OR ADJACENT TO THE BOILER.

OPEN CONTAINERS OF FLAMMABLE MATERIAL MUST NOT BE STORED OR USED IN THE SAME ROO M WITH

THE BOILER.

A hot water boiler installed above radiation level or as required by the authority having jurisdiction, must be provided with a low water cutoff device at the time of boiler installation.

AIR REQUIREMENTS

Keep appliance area free of combustible or ammable liquids.

If the confined space is within a building of tight construction, air for combustion, ventilation, and draft hood dilution must be obtained from outdoors. When directly communicating with the outdoors or communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts, two permanent openings, located in the above manner, shall be provided. Each opening shall have a free area of not less than one square inch per 4000 Btuh of the total input of all appliances in the enclosure. If horizontal ducts are used, each o pe ni ng shall h ave a free area of not less tha n one square inch per 2000 Btuh of the total input of all appliances in the enclosure.

(b) Canadian Installations

Ventilation of the space occupied by the b oiler(s) shall be provided by an opening for ventilation air at the highest practical point communicating with outdoors. The total cross-sectional area shall be at least 10% of the area of the combustion air opening but in no case shall the cross-sectional area be less than 10 square inches (6500 mm

In additional to the above, there shall be permanent air supply opening(s) having a cross-sectional area of not less than 1 square inch per 7,000 BTUH (310 mm

/KW) up to and including 1,000,000 BTUH plus 1 square inch per 14,000 BTU in excess of 1,000,000 BTUH. This opening(s) shall be located at, or ducted to, a point neither more than 18" (450 mm) nor less than 6 inches (150 mm) above the floor level.

Do not obstruct the ow of combustion or ventilating air.

WARNING

FOR SAFE OPERATION PROVIDE ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION. AN INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY

OF AIR WILL CAUSE RECIRCULATION OF COMBUSTION

PRODUCTS RESULTING IN AIR CONTAMINATION THAT MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO LIFE. SUCH A CONDITION OFTEN WILL RESULT IN A YELLOW, LUMINOUS BURNER FLAME, CAUSING CARBONING OR SOOTING OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, BURNERS AND FLUE TUBES AND CREATES A RISK OF ASPHYXIATION.

Unconned Space

In buildings of conventional frame, brick or stone construction, unconned spaces may provide adequate air for combustion, and draft hood dilution.

If the unconfined space is within a building of tight construction (buildings using the following construction: weather stripping, heavy insulation, caulking, vapor barrier, etc.) air for combustion, ventilation, and draft hood dilut io n must be obt ained from outdoors or spaces freely communicating with the outdoors. The installation instructions for confined spaces in tightly constructed buildings must be followed to ensure adequate air supply.

Conned Space

(a) U. S. Installations

When drawing combustion and dilution air from inside a conventionally constructed building to a conned space, such a space shall be provided with two permanent openings, ONE WITHIN 12 INCHES

OF THE ENCLOSURE TOP AND ONE WITHIN 12 INCHES OF THE

ENCLOSURE BOTTOM. Each opening shall have a free area of at least one square inch per 1000 Btuh of the total input of all appliances in the enclosure, but not less than 100 square inches.

Where power vented equipment is used in the same room as the boiler, sufcient air openings must be supplied.

UNDERSIZED OPENINGS MAY RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT AIR FOR COMBUSTION.

WHERE AN EXHAUST FAN IS INSTALLED IN THE SAME ROOM WITH A BOILER, SUFFICIENT OPENINGS FOR AIR MUST BE PROVIDED IN THE WALLS.

UNDERSIZED OPENINGS WILL CAUSE AIR TO BE DRAWN INTO THE ROOM THROUGH THE CHIMNEY, CAUSING POOR COMBUSTION. SOOTING MAY RESULT WITH AN INCREASED RISK O F ASPHYXIATION.

ASPHYXIATION.

Water boiler corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, and process chemicals are typical compounds which are corrosive. These materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no odor to reveal their presence. Products of this sort must not be stored near the boiler. Also, air which is brought in contact with the water boiler should not contain any of these chemicals. If necessary, uncontaminated air should be obtained from remote or outside sources.

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

These boilers are approved for installation on combustible ooring in an alcove with minimum clearance to combustibles of:

TABLE 4

VENTING THE BOILER - STANDARD VENTING

WARNING

THE INS T RUCT I ONS IN THIS SE CTIO N ON VEN TING TH E BOILER M UST BE FOLLOWED TO AVOI D CHOK ED COM B UST ION OR RECI RCU L AT ION OF FLUE GA SES . SUCH CONDITIONS CAUSE SOOTING OR RISKS OF FIRE AND ASPHYXIATION.

TYPE B VENTING MAY BE USED WITH THESE BOILERS. ALL LOCAL UTILITY REGULATIONS ON VENTING SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.

For boilers for connection to gas vents or chimneys, vent sizing, installation and termination shall be in accordance with the

current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or CAN/CSA B149.1, Installation Codes, or applicable provisions of the local building codes.

Vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft shall not be connected into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under positive pressure.

The minimum distance from adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings, openable windows and building openings shall not be less than those values specif ied in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Installation Codes;

Stack or chimney must be a minimum height of 12 " (305mm) above the annual snow fall to prevent blockage.

Building materials must not come in contact with combustion products from stack or chimney, due to the degradating properties of ue products.

Vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft shall not be connected into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under positive pressure.

Flue products must have a minimum clearance of 4 feet (1.22m) horizontally from, and in no case above or below, unless a 4-foot (1.22m) horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.

CAN/CSA B149.1, Installation Code species a 6 foot horizontal vent terminal clearance to gas and electric meters and relief devices (this clearance is specied as 4 feet in the U.S. under the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI/Z223.1). Therefore instruction, which species compliance with the 4 foot clearance, as applies in the U.S. only, and the CAN/CSA B149.1 Installation Code applies in Canada.

1. DRAFT HOOD

The draft hood furnished with this boiler must be installed without alteration. Provision must be made if the boiler is installed in conned space or a small boiler room to accommodate draft hood spillage and avoid risks described above. The upper air opening called for in the AIR REQUIREMENTS section of this manual is for this purpose.

2. VENT CONNECTION

Size and install proper size vent pipe. Do not reduce pipe size to less than that of the draft hood outlet.

Horizontal runs of vent pipe shall be securely supported by adequately placed (approximately every 4 feet or 1 meter), noncombustible hanger s and /or slip joints suitable for the weight and design of the materials employed to prevent sagging and to maintain a minimum upward slope of 1/4" (21mm/m) per foot from the boiler to the vent terminals, see Figure 8. Dampers or other obstructions must not be installed in the vent. Be sure that the vent pipe does not extend beyond t he inside wall of the chimney.

3. CONNECTING BOILER TO A COMMON VENT

Do not connect the boiler to a common vent or chimney with solid fuel burning equipment. This practice is prohibited by many local building codes as is the practice of venting gas red equipment to the duct work of ventilation systems.

Where a separate vent connection is not available and the vent pipe from the boiler must be connected to a common vent with oil burning equipment, the vent pipe should enter the common vent or chimney at a point ABOVE the ue pipe from the oil red unit.

Where two or more appliances vent into a common vent connector or manifold, the area of the common vent or vent connector should at least equal the area of the largest vent connector plus 50% of the areas of the additional draft hood outlets.

When removing a boiler from a system with a common vent, use the following steps:

Be sure the other appliances connected to the common vent are not in operation.

Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

WARNING

Ensure sufcient supply and ventilation air. Under no circumstances should the equipment room where the boiler is installed ever be under negative pressure. Insufcient air supply can interfere with combustion and ventilation of this boiler resulting in unsafe conditions.

VENT PIPE INSTALLATION

FIGURE 8.

Where a continuous or intermittent back draft is found to exist the cause must be determined and corrected. A special vent cap may be required. If the back draft cannot be corrected by the normal methods or if a suitable draft cannot be obtained, a blower type ue gas exhauster may be employed to ensure proper venting and correct combustion if permitted by local codes.

WARNING

FAIL URE TO CORRECT BACK DRAFTS WILL CAUSE AIR

CONTAMINATION AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance 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. Close replace dampers.

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

Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after ve minutes of main burner operation. Use the ame of a match or candle.

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

Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the current edition of CAN/CSA B149.1 (current edition). When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in CAN/CSA B149.1.

4. MULTIPLE VENT TABLE

Table 5 on page 17 has been compiled to show the material sizes in a Type B doublewall combined vent system. Refer to CAN/CSA B149 .1 (current edition), or the ASHRAE 1983 Equipment Volume for further information.

A combined vent system is one in which two or more boilers at one level are attached to a common vent.

In order to use table 5, the connector rise and total vent height must be known. Connector rise is vertical distance from the draft hood outlet to the point where the manifold connection is made. Total vent height is the least vertical distance from a draft hood outlet to the top of the vent. Local codes or utility requirements often govern termination height. ULC listed doublewall gas vents, up through 24" (610mm) diameter, can be installed in heated and unheated areas and can pass through oors, ceilings, partitions, walls and roofs, provided the required one inch clearance is observed. These vents should be installed in accordance with CAN/CSA B149.1 (current edition).

EXAMPLE SHOWING USE OF THE HW-610 COMBINED VENT SIZING TABLE

1. Turn off the electrical power (main manual gas shutoff and pilot valves, if applicable).

Allow boiler parts and vent to cool before disassembly.

2. Remove the boiler draft diverter and vent pipe running to the chimney.

• Check parts and chimney for obstructions and clean as necessary.

3. Remove burner from boiler and other metal parts as required to clean and vacuum the heat exchanger and combustion coils.

• Refer to parts list supplied with this manual for disassembly aid.

4. Reinstall the parts removed in steps 2 and 3.

• Be sure the vent pipe has a minimum upward pitch of one quarter

inch per foot of length (21mm/m) and is sealed as necessary.

5. Restore electrical power and gas supply to boiler.

• Place boiler in operation by following the lighting instructions

in this manual.

• Check for gas leaks and proper boiler and vent operation.

VENTING - SIDEWALL (OPTIONAL) POWER VENT SYSTEM

If you are installing the optional Power Vent Kit, refer to your HW Power Vent Kit Installation Instructions for proper wiring and installation procedures. Contact your local A. O. Smith representative for details.

FIGURE 9.

VENTING MAINTENANCE - STANDARD VENTING

It is recommended that the heating surfaces and vent piping of the appliance be checked every six months for dust, deterioration and carbon deposits. Remove all soot or other obstructions from chimney and ue which will retard free draft. Replace any damaged or deteriorated parts of the venting system.

VENTING SYSTEM

HAVE VENTING SYSTEM CHECKED EVERY SIX MONTHS FOR OBSTRUCTIONS AND/OR DETERIORATION IN VENT PIPING.

A. Insofar as is practical, close all doors, windows and air inlets to

the building. Turn on all exhaust fans (range hood, bathroom exhaust, etc.) so they will operate at their maximum speed. Close replace dampers.

B. After allowing appliance to operate for ve minutes, test for

spillage at the draft hood relief opening.

C. “CHECKING THE DRAFT. Operate vent connected gas utilization

equipment for several minutes and check to see that the combustion products are going up the chimney or gas vent properly by passing a lighted match or taper around the edge of the relief opening of the draft hood. If the chimney or gas vent is drawing properly, the match ame will be drawn into the draft hood. If not, the combustion products will tend to extinguish this ame. IF THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS ARE ESCAPING FROM THE RELIEF OPENING OF THE DRAFT HOOD, DO NOT OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT UNTIL PROPER ADJUSTMENT OR REPAIRS ARE MADE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE DRAFT THROUGH THE CHIMNEY OR GAS VENT.”

D. Next, turn on all other fuel burning appliances within the same

room so they will operate at their full input.

Qualied servicers should follow this procedure when the boiler’s external heating surfaces and vent pipe need cleaning.

CAUTION

DO NOT USE A NYLON BRUSH OR OTHER STATIC CREATING

MATERIAL TO CLEAN DUST AND CARBON DEPOSITS FROM

HEATING SURFACES AND VENT.

SUCH DEPOSITS ARE FLAMMABLE AND MAY BE IGNITED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY. USE A METAL BRUSH TO MINIMIZE THE DANGER OF EXPLOSION.

Repeat step C above, checking the draft on each appliance.

SYSTEM INSTALLATIONS

1. CONVENTIONAL INSTALLATIONS

All modern hydronic type boilers are exceptionally fast heating units. The low water volumes in relation to ring rates require special attention to water ow rates for smooth, efcient operation. These considerations for the A. O. Smith copper heat exchanger boilers are covered below.

Conventional 20

F (100C) drop in systems for a fully loaded boiler

will maintain the following approximate ow rates:

MODELS GPM (LPM)

HW-610/670 46 (175)

Figure 7 on page 14 shows a typical installation of the boiler with pipe sizing and circulator selected by the installer to provide adequate water ow whenever the boiler is ring.

In a system with several large zones of which any might be smaller than approximately 1/3 of the system should include a hydronic balancer as shown in Figure 7. The balancer connects between the system supply and the return line before the circulator inlet. Adjustment of the balancing cock should permit adequate boiler ow rate when only the smallest zone is in operation.

Attention should be given to balancing inputs and water ow rates where wide variations of system ow rates can occur.

The recommended minimum ow rates that will result in approximately

F (300C) temperature rise across the boiler are as follows:

ONE BOILER INSTALLED

INDEPENDENT OF THE PRIMARY SYSTEM

FIGURE 11.

Total heating requirements for the building can be supplied by a series of boiler loops all connecting to a common pipe joining the system supply and return mains. The supply and return branches of each boiler loop must join the common pipe only a short nipple length apart. The different sets of branches should be installed reasonably close together, but not necessarily to the short nipple length as required for the supply and return of each set. These branches may be made with tees or with welded connections.

The installer is reminded that the total boiler ow rates need not match the system ow rate.

If system ow rate is unknown, or if zoning creates extreme variations in ow rates, the boiler should be installed as shown in Figure 11 on this page for A. O. Smith LINEAR-TEMP installations.

Boiler headers for three (3) boilers can be larger than pipe

loop, if desired, to aid in balancing.

The system flow rate is selected to give the desired system temperature drop - depending on the design criteria.

The boiler generator ow rates, on the other hand, should be selected to give the temperature rise through the generator that is both economical and offers the best generator efciency.

The boiler temperature rise is normally between 10

C and 200C (200F and 400F). The system temperature that will be introduced to the boiler (inlet temperature) plus the selected boiler temperature rise selected from PUMP AND PIPE SIZING DATA should not exceed the high limit control setting of 1150C (2400F).

SCHEMATIC OF THE LINEAR-TEMP® SYSTEM

FIGURE 12.

Supply and return headers of the old system should be connected to the boiler loop with a pair of tees set close together. The boiler loop pump and the boiler(s) should be wired to operate only when any of the system pumps are in operation. The number of zone pumps that may be in operation at any particular time will take their required ow rate out from the rst tee in the boiler piping. This water will be circulated through the proper branches from the supply header to the zones calling for heat. The water will be brought back to the return header and then into the second tee in the boiler pipe loop. There will be no conict between the boiler pump and the zone pumps when the two tees in the boiler loop are placed close together.

Normal use of ow control valves is required to prevent cross circulation of zones as with any multiple pump system. Flow control is not required on boiler circuit.

Attention should be given to balancing gas inputs and water ow rates. Large systems with multiple boilers should include main water temperature control (with or without outdoor reset) to stage the boilers on and off in relation to the load on the system.

3. WATER SUPPLY LINE

These boilers can be used ONLY in a forced circulation hot water heating system. Since most forced circulation systems will be of the closed type, install the water supply line as shown on piping diagrams, Figure 7 to 11 on pages 14 and 18.

Fast lling of large pipe, old radiator installations and pressure purging of series loop systems (where high pressures are not available) requires bypassing of the pressure reducing valve. Generally, pressure purging is not possible with a well pump system. High point air venting is essential.

If the system is of the open type, a pressure reducing valve will not be required as the water supply to the system will be controlled by a manually operated valve. An overhead surge tank is required.

There should be a relation of the minimum system load to the size boiler selected as the rst ring or base boiler. This will stabilize operation during minimum load periods.

B. Commercial Boiler Replacements

Application of LINEAR-TEMP

to a commercial boiler replacement with an old multiple pump installation is an excellent way to modernize the system. The A. O. Smith boiler(s) should be installed on a pipe loop with a separate circulating pump selected from PUMP AND PIPE SIZING DATA TABLE.

Figure 12 shows a line drawing of how the system headers should be connected to the pipe loop installed with the replacement boiler(s). Make-up water connections and accessories are not shown.

4. EXPANSION TANK

CAUTION

A closed system will exist if a check valve (without bypass), pressure reducing valve (without bypass), or a water meter (without bypass) is installed in the cold water line between the water heater and street main (or well).

Excessive pressure may develop causing premature tank failure or intermittent relief valve operation. This is not a warranty failure. An expansion tank or a similar device may be required in the inlet supply line between the appliance and the meter or valve to compensate for the thermal expansion of water under supply pressure, see Figure 7 on page 14.

An air separator as shown in the piping diagrams is recommended especially for modern commercial hydronic systems.

5. VENT VALVES

It is recommended that automatic, loose key or screwdriver type vent valves be installed at each convector or radiator.

6. MANIFOLD HEADERS

Split systems with individual supply and return lines from the boiler room should normally have this piping connected to supply and return manifold headers near the boiler. To achieve good water distribution with maximum pressure drop for several circuits, manifolds of at least 2-1/2" (64mm) diameter are suggested on HW-399, HW-420, HW-520, HW-610 and HW-670 units. HW-300 units should have 1-1/2" (38mm) diameter manifolds.

The circuits should be spaced on the header at a minimum of 3" (76mm) center to center. Install a balancing cock in each return line.

Manifold headers are recommended for split systems with or without zone valves and also those installations with zone circulators. If the system is to be split at remote points, good practice requires special attention be given to main pipe sizing to allow balancing of water ow.

The boiler piping system of a hot water boiler connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air circulation must be equipped with ow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.

7. COOLING PIPING

When the boiler is used in conjunction with a refrigeration system it must be installed so that the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the boiler with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler, see Figure 13.

Water temperature in the heating system must be reduced to less than 100 the chiller unit may occur.

F (38°C) before cooling system is started, or damage to

If the boiler is connected to chilled water piping or its heating coils are exposed to refrigerated air, the boiler piping system must be equipped with ow valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation through the boiler during the cooling cycle.

8. CIRCULATING PUMP

CONSTANT CIRCULATING PUMP OPERATION OF THE BOILER VOIDS THE WARRANTY. Constant water ow through the unit will “wash” away the copper’s natural protective coating. This is called velocity erosion. This erosion is not as great a problem when intermittent circulating operation is used per the recommended installation procedure. Constant circulation of water through the building’s system main is permissible as long as the water does not constantly ow through the boiler. Only all bronze or stainless steel circulators are to be used with the unit when it is installed in HOT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS.

A TYPICAL CIRCULATING PUMP

FIGURE 14.

Although each circulator that requires oiling is oiled and operated by the manufacturer, IT MUST BE OILED AGAIN BEFORE OPERATED. Oil the three oil cups (2 on the motor, 1 on the pump) as instructed on the oil tube supplied with the unit, see Figure 14 on this page.

GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING THIS BOILER IS NOT INTENDED TO OPERATE AT GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE OTHER THAN SHOWN ON THE RATING PLATE. EXPOSURE TO HIGHER GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO GAS VALVES WHICH CAN RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION. IF OVERPRESSURE HAS OCCURRED SUCH AS THROUGH IMPROPER TESTING OF GAS LINES OR EMERGENCY MALFUNCTION OF THE SUPPLY SYSTEM, THE GAS VALVES MUST BE CHECKED FOR SAFE OPERATION. MAKE SURE THAT THE OUTSIDE VENTS ON THE SUPPLY REGULATORS AND THE SAFETY VENT VALVES ARE PROTECTED AGAINST BLOCKAGE. THESE ARE PARTS OF THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM, NOT THE BOILER. VENT BLOCKAGE MAY OCCUR DURING ICE BUILD-UP OR SNOW STORMS.

Thereafter, during the heating season, lubricate the three oil cups at least once every four months. Combination heating-cooling systems should be lubricated every four months year ‘round.

Use 2 or 3 teaspoonsful in bearing oil cups or 12 drops in the motor oil cups, see Figure 14 on this page. Use No. 20 non-detergent motor oil.

Follow the same oiling procedure if a replacement circulator is installed into the system.

WHEN LOCAL CODES REQUIRE A MAIN MANUAL SHUTOFF VALVE OUTSIDE THE BOILER JACKET, A SUITABLE MAIN MANUAL SHUTOFF VALVE MUST BE INSTALLED IN A LOCATION COMPLYING WITH THOSE CODES.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO GUARD AGAINST GAS VALVE FOULING FROM CONTAMINANTS IN THE GAS WAYS. SUCH FOULING MAY CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION, FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

1. CORRECT GAS

Make sure the gas on which the boiler will operate is the same as that specied on the boiler rating plate. Do not install the boiler if equipped for a different type gas — consult your supplier.

2A. SIZING GAS SUPPLY LINE (For single boiler installations

and for installations of multiples of two or three of same size boilers).

Capacities in cubic feet per hour of 0.60 specic gravity gas for different sizes and lengths are shown in table 7. No additional allowance is necessary for an ordinary number of ttings.

Applications of the gravity factor converts the gures given in table 7 to capacities with another gas of different specic gravity. Such application is accomplished by multiplying the capacities given in table 7 by the multipliers shown in table 8 on page 22.

To determine the size of each section of gas piping in a system within the range of table 7 proceed as follows:

• Determine the gas demand of each appliance to be attached to the piping system. When table 7 is to be used to select the piping size, calculate the gas demand in terms of cubic feet per hour for each piping system outlet. The gas demand for an appliance can be found by dividing its heat input rate by the gas’s heating value.

• Obtain or determine the length of piping from the gas meter or service regulator to the appliance(s).

• In table 7 on page 21, select the row showing the distance to

the most remote outlet or the next longer distance if the table does not give the exact length. This is the only distance used in determining the size of any section of gas piping. If the gravity factor is to be applied, the values in the selected row of table 7 are multiplied by the appropriate multiplier from table 8.

• Total the gas demands of all appliances on the piping system. Enter table 7, on the left hand side, at the row equal to or just exceeding the distance to the most remote outlet. Select the pipe size in the row with a capacity equal to or just exceeding the total gas demand. This is the required main gas supply line size leading away from the gas meter or regulator. To determine the pipe size required for each branch outlet leading away from the main supply line, determine the gas demand for that outlet. Enter table 7 on the same row, and select the branch pipe size for a capacity equal to or just exceeding the demand at that outlet. The main line can be resized for a lesser capacity after each branch outlet, since the gas demand is reduced. Total the gas demands of all remaining appliances branching off downstream on the main gas line. Re-enter table 8 in the same row and select the appropriate pipe size with adequate capacity. Repeat the branch sizing and main line re-sizing for any remaining appliances in the system.

The gas pressure regulator is included in the combination gas valve, Figure 15, and is set to operate on the gas specied on the boiler model and rating plate.

EXAMPLE

Job Condition:

Determining the required gas pipe size for a system composed of two HW-420 boilers and two HW-610 boilers to be installed as a multiple group, 50 lineal feet from meter. Gas to be used has a .60 specic gravity and heating value of 1,000 Btu per cubic foot.

Solution:

2 HW-420 Boilers = 840,000 Btuh 2 HW-610 Boilers = 1,220,000 Btuh

Total Btuh Input = 2,060,000 Btuh

Total Btuh Input = 2,060,000 Btuh = 2,060 cf/h

Btu per Cubic Foot of Gas 1,000

With a cubic foot per hour demand of 2,060 and with 50 lineal feet of gas supply line, table 7 shows a pipe size of 3" (76mm) is required.

NOTE: For other than .60 specic gravity, apply multiplier factor as

shown in table 8.

FIGURE 15.

Periodically check main burner, Figure 34 on page 39, and pilot flame, Figure 35 on page 40, for proper operation. This should be checked every six months.

Do not subject the gas valve to inlet gas pressures of more than 14" W.C. (1/2 P.S.I.). If higher gas pressures are encountered, a service regulator is necessary.

1. CONVENTIONAL INSTALLATIONS

ALL ELECTRICAL WORK MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70 AND/ OR THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, PART 1, CSA C22.1,

ELECTRICAL CODE AND MUST CONFORM TO LOCAL

REGULATIONS.

The boiler, when installed, must be electrically bonded to ground in accordance with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or the Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, CSA C22.1, Electrical Code.

STRICT ADHERENCE TO PIPING AND WIRING DIAGRAMS IS REQUIRED TO PREVENT CONSTANT PUMP OPERATION WHEN SYSTEM TEMPERATURE CONTROL IS SATISFIED. OTHERWISE THE WARRANTY IS VOID AS STIPULATED IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY ON THE INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL.

The electrical connections must be made so that the circulator will operate before the gas valve opens. At no time may the controlling system allow the burner to re when there is no water ow through the boilers.

Refer to the diagrams in Figures 16 and 17 on pages 24 and 25 for proper wiring sequence with conventional single boiler installations.

The THERMAL BALANCER shown is factory included by A. O. Smith. This device serves as a pump shutdown delay switch to balance the rising boiler water temperature to system temperature before the pump stops. Overshooting of boiler temperature is prevented and stack loss after shutdown is negligible.

WARNING

AN ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR POSSIBLE ELECTROCUTION. Make the ground connection to the screw provided in the electrical supply junction box on the boiler.

2. LINEAR-TEMP INSTALLATIONS

Control for these systems is decided mainly by the type of building system controlling that is desired. A single boiler installation might be controlled directly from space temperature thermostat(s). Multiple boiler installations are more effective when the boilers are sequenced in and out of operation by some form of main water temperature controller. With one to three boilers, individual controls set at progressive temperatures may be used. For more than three or four boilers, a step controller is recommended.

Individual boiler controls, or the separate stages of a step controller, should re a boiler and also start the boiler loop circulator whenever the rst boiler of a group supplied by that boiler loop is red. Some large installations may require the ring of more than one boiler per stage.

The system or primary circulator may or may not be controlled by the boiler sequencer. When this pump is operated through the rst switch of any type of step controller, care should be taken to determine if a motor starter is needed due to insufcient switch capacity.

If the primary pump is controlled by a manual switch or any other controllers, the electric current supply to the boiler group should be through the primary pump controller. The fast response of A. O. Smith boi lers e liminates any nee d to maintain b oiler temperature when the system is satised. Wiring should always prevent ring of boiler(s) when there is no water ow in the mains.

building is not under control of space temperature thermostats. A single bulb outdoor sensing control will prevent overheating of halls, stairways or other uncontrolled areas. There are occasions when outdoor temperatures are temporarily too warm for even a moderate amount of heating in these areas.

Space temperature controlling can be varied to meet the building requirements. Either the single thermostat, as shown, or multiple zone thermostats should control a common relay. This relay controls electric power to the system primary circulator and to the main water temperature controller. This provides for water movement in the system before the main temperature controller can s tart the s econdary c irculating pump or fire the boiler.

Figure 17 shows a typical wiring diagram for a single boiler space heating installation. The boiler may be controlled by a main temperature controller as shown or may include outdoor reset if desired.

Figure 18 on page 26 shows a layout for various choices of controls often found in commercial heating. These layouts are not intended to be wiring diagrams and only show the relation of one device to another in the system.

Figure 18 is a typical layout of controls for two boilers with one circulator and including optional outdoor reset and thermal balancer. If a secondary circulator is used with each boiler, arrangement for boiler no. 2 will be as shown for boiler no. 1.

Installation diagrams show ow switches in the outlet piping from each boiler as good protection against any boiler being red when the boiler loop circulator is not in operation. These ow switches will also serve as protection if there is a loss of water.

Outdoor vent systems will normally require an automatic shutdown control if there is a continuous recirculating main and/or if the entire

Commercial size installations are always best when designed to individual building requirements.

The layout in gure 18 is typical of many combination possibilities to meet the requirements of different buildings. Brand names of controls shown are suggestions and not directly related to any particular type of system. THESE LAYOUTS ARE NOT WIRING DIAGRAMS.

NOTE:

1. Building temperature controls supply electric power to building circulator.

2. Main ow switch proves main water ow before energizing sequencing and resetting controls.

OPERATION AND START-UP INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

After placing boiler into operation, the ignition system safety shutoff device must be tested by the following test method.

1. Reset High Limit Temperature Control to lowest setting. (See gure 2 on page 8).

2. Reset System Controller to maximum setting, causing a call for heat and allowing unit to run until High Limit Temperature Control trips.

3. Resetting the High Limit Temperature Control to a higher setting, unit should run.

4. Reset System Controller and High Limit Temperature Control to desired temperature. If unit fails to run, see Trouble-Shooting in this manual.

Before operating the boiler, the entire system must be lled with water, purged of air and checked for leaks. Do not use Stop Leak or other boiler compounds. The gas piping should also be leak tested.

Any safety devices including low water cutoffs used in conjunction with this boiler should receive periodic (every six months) inspection to assure proper operation. A low water cutoff device of the oat type should be ushed every six months. All relief valves should be inspected and manually operated at least twice a year.

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

SH OULD OVERHEATIN G OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, DO NOT TURN OFF OR DISCONNECT THE ELE CTRI C A L SU PPLY TO THE PUMP. INS T E A D, SHUTOFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT A LOCATION EXTERNAL TO THE APPLIANCE.

PILOT AND MAIN BURNER

To maintain safe operation of the boiler, check the pilot and the main burner once every six months for proper ame characteristics.

1. MAIN BURNER

The main burner, Figure 34, should display the following

characteristics:

• Provide complete combustion of gas.

• Cause rapid ignition and carryover of ame across entire burner.

• Give reasonably quiet operation during ignition, burning and extinction.

• Cause no excessive lifting of ame from burner ports.

If the proceeding burner characteristics are not evident, check for accumulation of lint or other foreign material that restricts or blocks the air openings to the burner or boiler.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIFIED PERSON PERFORM THE INITIAL FIRING OF THE BOILER. AT THIS TIME THE USER SHOULD NOT HESITATE TO ASK THE INDIVIDUAL ANY QUESTIONS WHICH HE MAY HAVE IN REGARD TO THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE UNIT.

FILLING THE SYSTEM

1. Fast ll system through bypass until pressure approaches desired system pressure. Close bypass valve and permit pressure to be established by the pressure reducing valve.

2. Vent all high points in system to purge system of air.

If pressure bleeding of system is desired, install valves as shown in Figure 7 on page 14.

Where cast iron radiation and motorized valves are used, conventional system pressure and installation practices should be followed.

Provisions should be made to permit manual venting of radiators or convectors.

PRECAUTIONS

If the unit is exposed to the following, do not operate boiler until all corrective steps have been made by a qualied serviceman:

Also check for good ow of combustion and ventilating air to the unit. Maintain a clear area around the boiler at all times.

FIGURE 34.

The boiler should be periodically inspected by a qualied servicer for continuous safe operation.

Qualied servicers should follow this procedure when the boiler’s burners need cleaning.

1. Turn off the electrical power and close the main manual gas shutoff valve. See L&O instructions on pages 43 and 44.

• Allow boiler parts to cool before disassembly.

2. Remove main burner manifold assembly from boiler.

• Re fer to parts list supplied wit h this manual for

disassembly aid.

1. Flooding to level of burner or controls or higher.

2. Exposure to re.

3. If damaged.

4. Firing without water.

5. Sooting.

3. Remove any loose foreign material such as dust or lint with a vacuum. Check all ports, orices, and air openings for blockage. Dislodge any foreign material causing blockage. Remove any soot or carbon deposits with a rag making sure to remove any lint left on burner by vacuuming again.

4. Reinstall the burner manifold assembly on boiler.

5. Restore electrical power and gas supply to boiler.

• Put the boiler back in operation by following the lighting instructions in this manual or on the lighting and operating label on the boiler. See pages 43 - 44.

• Check for gas leaks and proper boiler and vent operation.

2. PILOT BURNER - ELECTRONIC IGNITION

Check for good terminal connection at the sensing probe at the pilot burner assembly if pilot does not light.

Check for electrical power to the valve. If electrical power and gas are present at the valve and the pilot does not operate when system calls for heat, replace valve.

5. Low gas pressure

• Adjust pilot ame by means of the pilot gas adjustment located in the gas valve.

To establish pilot ame without main burner operation, it will be

necessary to perform the following steps:

Servicing of the pilot burner (every six months) includes

keeping pilot shield (not shown) free of lint, cleaning the burner head, the primary air opening and the orice of the pilot burner, Figure 35.

1. Open fused disconnect switch or shut off electrical power to the boiler.

2. Disconnect wire from MV wire on valve.

3. Close fused disconnect switch to restore electrical power to the boiler.

The pilot will now ignite provided the system is calling for heat.

4. Adjust pilot ame.

To adjust the pilot ame, remove the cap screw from the pilot

adjusting screw (Figure 36) and turn to deliver a sufcient ame at the pilot burner to cover 3/8" to 1/2" (10-12mm) of the sensing probe tip. See Figure 35.

• The pilot ame should envelop 3/8 to 1/2 inch of the tip of the thermocouple. Remove pilot adjustment cover screw, Figure 36. Turn inner adjustment screw or pilot adjusting valve clockwise to decrease, or counterclockwise to increase pilot ame. Be sure to replace cover screw on combination gas valve after adjustment to prevent possible gas leakage.

7. Incorrect orifice.

• Rep l ace. The O r ifice size is stamp e d on the wrench flats.

8. Clogged primary air opening.

• Restricted air passages will soften the pilot flame and result in poor thermocouple flame impingement.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE INPUT

1. Follow steps 1 thru 6 of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Attach a pressure gauge or a manometer to the manifold pressure tapping and refer to table 10 for correct manifold pressure.

7. Repeat steps 7 thru 11 of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. The boiler will resume normal operation.

When the boiler is operating at full capacity, or full gas input,

it should consume 1 cu. ft. of gas in approximately the time indicated in table 10.

3. Follow steps 7 thru 11 of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

4. Use this formula to “clock” the meter. Be sure that other gas consuming appliances are not ON during this interval.

3600 x H = Btuh T

Btuh = The approximate actual input rate. T = Time in seconds to burn one cubic foot of gas. H = Heating value of the fuel gas in Btu per cubic foot of gas.

EXAMPLE:

T = 9.0 seconds/ft

H = 1050 Btu/ft3(natural gas) Btuh = ? Gas ow through meter: 3600 x 1050 = 420,000 Btuh

9.0

Small changes in the input rate may be made by adjusting the manifold pressure, see GAS PRESSURE REGULATORS. Under no circumstances should you exceed the maximum input rate for the boiler given in table 2 on page 6.

5. Repeat steps 1 thru 6 of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

6. Remove the pressure gauge or manometer from the manifold pressure tapping. Replace the screw-in plug in the manifold pressure tap.

REMOVAL OF EXISTING BOILER FROM A COMMON VENTING SYSTEM

At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.

Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

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

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

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

Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149, Installation Codes. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix F in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes.

These boilers are designed to give many years of efficient and satisfactory service when properly operated and maintained. To as s u re co n t i n ued go o d perf o r m a nce, th e foll o w i n g recommendations are made.

The area around the unit should be kept clean and free from lint and debris. Sweeping the oor around the boiler should be done carefully. This will reduce the dust and dirt which may enter the burner and pilot air passages, causing improper combustion and sooting.

THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR TO THE BOILER MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED.

TH E BOILER A REA MU ST BE KEP T C LEA R AND FREE

FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.

Periodic checks, at least twice a year, should be made for water and/or gas leaks.

More frequent inspections may be necessary depending on water conditions.

MANUAL RESET HIGH LIMIT SWITCH CONTINUITY TEST

Do not depress the switch reset button prior to testing. With the unit cold, disconnect the leads from the switch. With a multimeter place a probe on each side of the switch. If the meter reads zero the switch is good. If you receive an innite or OL signal, the reason could be:

1. Protector switch contacts open.

• Depress reset button on switch (switch cannot be reset until water temperature in the boiler coils drop below 200°F). Meter should read zero.

2. Defective switch or bad leads.

• With leads attached, depress the switch button. If the meter does not read zero, the switch is defective and must be replaced.

RELIEF VALVE

The safety relief valve should be opened at least twice a year to check its working condition. This will aid in assuring proper pressure relief protection. Lift the lever at the top of the valve several times until the valve seats properly and operate freely.

DANGER

THE WATER PASSING OUT OF THE VALVE DURING CHECKING OPERATION MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT. BEFORE OPERATING RELIEF VALVE MAKE SURE DRAIN LINE IS INSTALLED TO DIRECT DISCHARGE TO A SAFE LOCATION SUCH AS AN OPEN DRAIN, TO AVOID SCALDING OR WATER DAMAGE.

The boiler mounted gas and electrical controls have been designed to give both dependable service and long life. However, malfunction can occur, as with any piece of equipment. It is therefore recommended that all components be checked periodically by a qualied serviceman for proper operation.

WARNING

SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, TURN THE MANUAL GAS CONTROL VALVE TO THE APPLIANCE.

CLEANING AND FLUSHING INSTRUCTIONS

INTERNAL CONTAMINANTS

Pipe joint compounds, soldering paste, grease on tubing and pipe all tend to contaminate a system.

The hydronic system must be internally cleaned and flushed after a new or replac ement boiler has been installed to remove contaminants that may have accumulated during installation. This is doubly important when a replac ement boiler is installed into an existing system where Stop Leak or other boiler additives have been used.

Fa ilu re to clea n and flu sh th e sys tem ca n p rodu ce ac id concentrations that become corrosive, cause gases to form that block water circulation or lead to formation of deposits on the boiler surfaces, any of which could result in damage to the system and circulator.

All hot water heating systems should be completely flushed with a grease removing solution to assure trouble-tree operation.

PRE-TROUBLESHOOTING

Before any extensive troubleshooting, perform the following:

Ensure that: – Voltage (120 vac) is supplied to the appliance.

– System control (tank temperature control, thermostat, etc.)

is calling for appliance operation (call for heat).

Failure to flu sh conta minates from a system can cau se solid s to form on the inside of boiler excha ngers, crea te excessive am ounts of ai r a nd other ga ses to bl ock cir culat ion, foul various system accessories and even deteriorate circulation seals and impellers.

It is recommended that after installation, the boiler and system when filled should include the proper percentage of cleaning solution related to approximate water volume of the system. Fire and circulate for about one hour and then flush clean with fresh water. Commercial grease removing solutions are available from your distributor.

HOT WATER SUPPLY BOILERS PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

For care of the HW water system please refer to the A. O. Smith Users Information Manual supplied with the Boiler.

– Voltage (24 vac) is supplied by transformer.

– Appliance is wired according to wiring diagram.

Note: Cross wiring the 24 volt circuit of the relay will short the

transformer.

– Other contacts (switches) are closed (relay, low water cutoff,

ow switch, coil protector, pressure switch, etc.).

– Gas supply pressure is within the maximum and minimum

operating ranges listed on the appliance rating plate/label.

– All wire terminals/connectors are rmly attached to valves,

modules, switches, limit controls, etc.

– For LP models only check for possible lockout condition of

the the ignition module.
