LOCATING THE APPLIANCE
2.1 Locating the Appliance
The MagnaTech may be installed indoors or
outdoors. If installing outdoors in a location
that may experience freezing temperatures,
precautions must be taken to prevent water in
the heat exchanger and condensate inside and
outside of the boiler from freezing. Damage due
to freezing water or condensate is not covered by
the warranty.
Choose a location for the unit which allows
clearances on all sides for maintenance and
inspection. See Table 1. Always install the unit on
a rm, level surface.
The unit should not be located in an area
where leakage of any connections will result in
damage to the area adjacent to the appliance,
or to lower oors of the structure.
When this type of location is not available,
install a suitable drain pan, adequately drained,
under the appliance.
The appliance is design-certied by CSA-
International for installation on combustible
ooring; in basements; in utility rooms or
alcoves. MagnaTech boilers must never be
installed on carpeting. The location for the
appliance should be chosen with regard to the
vent pipe lengths and external plumbing.
The unit shall be installed such that the gas
ignition system components are protected from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during
operation and service (circulator replacement,
control replacement, etc.).
When vented vertically, the MagnaTech must
be located as close as practical to the vertical
section of the vent. If the vent terminal and/or
combustion air terminal terminate through a wall,
and there is potential for snow accumulation in
the local area, both terminals should be installed
at an appropriate level above grade or the
maximum expected snow line.
The dimensions and requirements that are
shown in Table 1 should be met when choosing
the locations for the appliance.
Note - When located on the same wall, the
MagnaTech combustion air intake terminal must be
installed a minimum of 12” (30cm) below the exhaust
terminal. There must also be a minimum horizontal
distance from intake to the exhaust terminal
of 84” (213cm) See Figure 4

WARNING
All venting must be installed according to this
manual and any other applicable local codes,
including but not limited to, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
CSA B149.1, CSAB149.2 and ULC S636. Failure
to follow this manual and applicable codes may
lead to property damage, severe injury, or death.
If the system temperatures are unknown at
the time of installation, class IIC or higher
venting material is recommended.
The MagnaTech is a Category IV appliance and
may be installed with the standards listed on
Table 6.
The unit’s vent can terminate through the roof,
or through an outside wall.
All installations must be done following the vent
supplier’s recommended installation techniques.
If these are not available, refer to the Bradford
White recommendations for the material used.
NOTE: For Category IV boilers, have
horizontal runs sloping upwards not less than
1/4 inch per foot (21 mm/m) from the boiler to
the vent terminal; be installed so as to prevent
accumulation of condensate; and, where
necessary, have means provided for drainage
of condensate.
ATTENTION: Pour la catégorie IV, les
chaudières ont horizontal en pente vers
le haut au moins 1/4 de pouce par pied
(21 mm/m) à partir de la chaudière pour
l’évent borne; être installé de façon à éviter
l’accumulation de condensats; et, le cas
échéant, ont des moyens prévus pour
l’évacuation des condensats.
This will allow the condensate to run back to

Table 5
3.2.1 Common Venting
The MagnaTech can be common vented,
however, the common venting must be a
professionally designed and approved system.
MagnaTech units are never permitted to share a
vent with any Catagory 1 appliances.
3.2.3 Venting Requirements Unique to
Canada
MagnaTech boilers and water heaters are Vent
Category IV appliances. Per the requirements
of CAN/CSA-B149.1, only BH vent systems
can be connected to these units and such vent
systems, either ULC S636 certied stainless
steel or other ULC S636 certied BH vent
It is the responsibility of the appropriately
licensed technician installing this MagnaTech to
use ULC S636 certied vent material consistent
with the requirements as described in the
Venting and Combustion Air section.
Class I venting systems are suitable for gas-red
appliances producing ue gas temperature of more
than 135°C, but not more than 245°C.
Class II venting systems are suitable for gas-red
appliances producing ue gas temperatures of 135°C
or less.
Class II venting systems are further classied into
four temperature ratings as follows:
Page 11
Figure 2. Test Port
the ULC S636 certied vent system is preferred.
However, if one is not available with the certied
vent system, Bradford White suggests using a
tee with the branch connection sized to allow
for insertion of a ue gas analyzer probe. The
branch connection must be resealable with a
cap or other means to ensure the vent system
remains sealed. (See Figure 2)
Consideration must be given to the placement
and orientation of the ue gas sampling port to
ensure that condensate is free to ow back into
the MagnaTech and not collect anywhere in the
vent system - including in the ue gas sampling
port.
A Up to and including 65°C / 149°F
B Up to and including 90°C / 194°F
C Up to and including 110°C / 230°F and
D Up to and including 135°C / 275°F
Flue Gas Sampling Port -
It is also the responsibility of the installer to
ensure that a ue gas sampling port is installed
in the vent system. This ue gas sampling port
must be installed near the ue connection of the
MagnaTech: within 2 feet of the ue connection.
There is no ue gas sampling port internal to
the MagnaTech, so one must be installed in the
vent system external to the MagnaTech. A ue
gas sampling port available as a component of
Exhaust Vent Terminal -
An exhaust vent terminal must be installed.
If an exhaust vent terminal is not available
with the certied vent system, Bradford White
suggests the use of a coupler tting from
the certied vent system into which the vent
terminal screen can be installed. Be sure to
install and terminate both vent and combustion
air pipes per the instructions in this section.

6. The vent outlet must be at least 12” above
the top of the air inlet, and must be at least
84” (213 cm) horizontally from the air inlet.
(See Figure 5).
3.3.3 Vertical Vent Terminal
When the unit is vented through the roof, the
vent must extend at least 3 feet (0.9 m) above
the point at which it penetrates the roof. It must
extend at least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any
portion of a building within a horizontal distance
of 10 feet (3.0 m), and high enough above the
roof line to prevent blockage from snow. The
vent terminal offered with the MagnaTech can be
used in both vertical and horizontal applications.
When the combustion air is taken from the roof,
the combustion air must terminate at least 12”
(30 cm) below the vent terminal.
3.3.4 Vertical Combustion Air Terminal
When combustion air is taken from the roof, a
eld-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement
must be used to prevent entry of rain water.
The opening on the end of the terminal must be
at least 12” (30 cm) above the point at which it
penetrates the roof, and high enough above the
roof line to prevent blockage from snow. When
the vent terminates on the roof, the combustion

3.4 Common Vent Test
Note -This section does not describe a method
for common venting MagnaTech’s. It describes
what must be done when a unit is removed from
a common vent system. MagnaTech’s require
special vent systems and fans for common vent.
Contact the factory if you have questions about
common venting MagnaTech’s.
When an existing boiler is removed from a
common venting system, the common venting
system is likely to be too large for proper
venting of the appliances remaining connected
to it.
Page 15
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.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common
venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch and determine
there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,
corrosion or other deciencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3. 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
any 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. Do not operate
a summer exhaust fan. Close replace
dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being
inspected. Follow the lighting instructions.
Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate
continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief
opening after ve minutes of main burner
operation. Use the ame of a match or candle,
or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
6. After it has been determined that each
appliance remaining connected to the
common venting system properly vents when
tested as outlined above, return the doors,
windows, exhaust fans, replace dampers
and any other gas burning appliance to their
previous conditions of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common
venting system should be corrected so the
installation conforms with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or
CAN/CSA B149.1, National Gas and Propane
Installation Code. When resizing any portion
of the common venting system, the common

Note - The MagnaTech appliance and all other
gas appliances sharing the gas supply line
must be ring at maximum capacity to properly
measure the inlet supply pressure. The pressure
can be measured at the supply pressure port
on the gas valve. Low gas pressure could be an
indication of an undersized gas meter, undersized

2. The maximum inlet gas pressure must not
exceed 13” W.C. (3.2kPa). The minimum
inlet gas pressure is 4” W.C. (1.0kPa).
3. Table 8 and Table 9 offer some gas pipe
sizing information. Refer to the applicable
gas code for more detailed sizing
information.
4. Run gas supply line in accordance with all
applicable codes.
5. Locate and install manual shutoff valves
in accordance with state and local
requirements.
6. A sediment trap must be provided
upstream of the gas controls.
7. All threaded joints should be coated with
piping compound resistant to action of
liqueed petroleum gas.
8. The appliance and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 PSIG (3.45kpa).
9. The unit must be isolated from the gas
supply system by closing its individual

BMGH BOILERS
6.1 BMGH System Piping: Hot Supply Connections
Note -This appliance must be installed in a closed
pressure system with a minimum of 12 psi (82.7
kPa) static pressure at the boiler.
The hot water piping should be supported
by suitable hangers or oor stands. Do not
support the piping with this appliance. The
hangers used should allow for expansion and
contraction of pipe. Rigid hangers may transmit
noise through the system resulting from the
piping sliding in the hangers. We recommend
that padding be used when rigid hangers are
installed. Maintain 1” (2.5 cm) clearance to
combustibles for all hot water pipes.
Pipe the discharge of the relief valve (full size)
to a drain or in a manner to prevent injury in the
event of pressure relief. Install an air purger,
an air vent, an expansion tank, a hydronic ow
check valve in the system supply loop, and
any other devices required by local codes. The
minimum ll pressure must be 12 psig (82.7
kPa). Install shutoff valves where required by
code.
Suggested piping diagrams are shown in Figure
7 through Figure 10. These diagrams are meant
only as guides. Components required by local
codes must be properly installed.

to get the best low return temperature with
multiple boilers, pipe as shown in Figure 9 and

connection of an automatic ll valve.
2. Install a suitable back ow preventer

be equipped with ow control valves or other
automatic means to prevent gravity circulation
of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.
A boiler installed above radiation level, or as
required by the authority having jurisdiction,
must be provided with a low water cutoff device
either as a part of the boiler or at the time of
boiler installation.
6.3 BMGH Freeze Protection
MagnaTech units may be installed indoors
or outdoors. If installing outdoors in a location
that may experience freezing temperatures,
precautions must be taken to prevent water in
the heat exchanger and condensate inside and
outside of the boiler from freezing. Damage due
to freezing water or condensate is not covered by
the warranty.
If installed indoors, and there is an event such
as a power outage, interruption of gas supply,
failure of system components, activation of
safety devices, etc., this may prevent a boiler
from ring. Any time a boiler is subjected
to freezing conditions, and the boiler is not
abletore,and/orthewaterisnotableto
circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the
boiler or in the pipes in the system. When
water freezes, it expands. This may result
in bursting of pipes, or damage to the boiler,
and this could result in leaking or ooding
conditions.
Do not use automotive antifreeze. To help
prevent freezing, Bradford White recommends
the use of inhibited glycol concentrations
between 20% and 35% glycol. Typically, this
concentration will serve as burst protection
for temperatures down to approximately -5°F
(-20°C). If temperatures are expected to be
lower than -5°F (-20°C), glycol concentrations
up to 50% can be used. When concentrations
greaterthan35%areused,waterowrates
must be increased to maintain a 20°F to 25°F
temperature rise through the boiler.
In some installations, a hot water heating
boiler is connected to heating coils located in
an air handling appliance where the coils may
be exposed to refrigerated air circulation. In
these cases, the boiler piping system must
Page 24
Page 20

RADFORD WHITE
WARNING
Glycol must not be used in domestic hot
water applications. Refer to Section 7 for
instructions on freeze protection for BMGV
units (domestic hot water).
Different glycol products may provide varying
degrees of protection. Glycol products must
be maintained properly in a heating system,
or they may become ineffective. Consult the
glycol specications, or the glycol manufacturer,
for information about specic products,
maintenance of solutions, and set up according
to your particular conditions.
The following manufacturers offer glycols,
inhibitors, and anti foamants that are suitable
for use in the MagnaTech. Please refer to the
manufacturers instructions for proper selection
and application.
• Sentinel Performance Solutions Group
• Hercules Chemical Company
• Dow Chemical Company
The boiler control offers some assistance
with freeze protection, as long as the boiler is
energized, and able to re.
1. If the outlet sensor detects less than 45°F,
the control energizes the boiler pump.
2. If the outlet sensor detects less than 35°F,
the control will re at low rate.
3. Once in freeze protect mode, the boiler will
remain in that state until the outlet sensor
detects greater than 50°F.
A condensate drain trap is included with the
MagnaTech and is designed to drain the boiler
of condensate. The vent condensate should
be drained through a drain tee located in the
vent line. This will help prevent excessive
condensate from entering the boiler condensate
trap.
Connect a 3/4” PVC pipe between the drain
connection and a oor drain (or condensate
pump if a oor drain is not accessible).
The condensate drain must be installed to
prevent the accumulation of condensate.
When a condensate pump is not used, the
tubing must continuously slope downward
toward the drain with no spiraling.
Consult local codes for the disposal method.
Caution
Condensate is mildly acidic (pH=5), and
may harm some oor drains and/or pipes,
particularly those that are metal. Ensure
that the drain, drainpipe, and anything that
will come in contact with the condensate
can withstand the acidity, or neutralize
the condensate before disposal. Damage
caused by failure to install a neutralizer
kit or to adequately treat condensate will
not be the manufacturer’s responsibility.

BMGV UNITS
7.1 BMGV Water Quality
BMGV water heaters must be installed in water
conditions of 15 gpg hardness or less, with a
pH range of 6.5 to 9.5 pH. Values outside of
this range may reduce the life expectancy of
the product. Operating the BMGV in water
with higher hardness levels will cause heat
exchanger fouling, erosion, or corrosion, leading
to premature component failure, reduced
efciency, heat exchanger failure or system
failure. Failure of this type will not be warranted.
If the water in use exceeds the conditions
recommended, water softeners or other devices
should be installed to improve water quality.

such as a power outage, component failure or
other issue when freezing is likely, the heater
and system must be drained to avoid the risk
of damage due to freezing. Glycol must not be
used in volume water heating applications.

7.7 Condensate Drain Trap
A condensate drain trap is included with the
MagnaTech and is designed to drain the boiler
of condensate. The vent condensate should be
drained through a drain tee located in the vent
line. This will help prevent excessive condensate
from entering the boiler condensate trap.
Connect a 3/4” PVC pipe between the drain
connection and a oor drain (or condensate
pump if a oor drain is not accessible).
1
The condensate drain must be installed to
prevent the accumulation of condensate.
When a condensate pump is not used, the
tubing must continuously slope downward
toward the drain with no spiraling.
Consult local codes for the disposal method.
Caution
Condensate is mildly acidic (pH=5), and
may harm some oor drains and/or pipes,
particularly those that are metal. Ensure
that the drain, drainpipe, and anything that
will come in contact with the condensate
can withstand the acidity, or neutralize
the condensate before disposal. Damage
caused by failure to install a neutralizer
kit or to adequately treat condensate will
not be the manufacturer’s responsibility.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
8.1 Installation Warnings
B
RADFORD WHITE
WARNING
The appliance must be electrically grounded in
accordance with the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, with the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, in the U.S. and
with the latest edition of CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1, in Canada. Do not rely
on the gas or water piping to ground the metal
parts of the boiler. Plastic pipe or dielectric unions
may isolate the boiler electrically. Service and
maintenance personnel, who work on or around
the boiler, may be standing on wet oors and
could be electrocuted by an ungrounded boiler.
Electrocution can result in severe injury or death.
Single pole switches, including those of safety
controls and protective devices, must not be wired
in a grounded line.
All electrical connections are made on the terminal
blocks that are located inside the control panel.
Wiring connections are shown in Figure 34.
CAUTION
The supply voltage to the MagnaTech unit
must not be disconnected, except for service
or isolation, or unless otherwise instructed by
procedures outlined in this manual. To signal
a call for heat, use the 24V eld interlock, as
shown in the wiring diagram.
DO NOT MAKE AND BREAK THE LINE
VOLTAGE TO THE MagnaTech UNIT TO
SIGNAL A CALL FOR HEAT. A call for heat/
end call for heat MUST be connected to the
eld interlock terminals. Some MagnaTech
components are designed to have constant
voltage during normal operation. If the
MagnaTech’s supply voltage is toggled as a
call for heat signal, premature failure of these
components may result.
The MagnaTech unit does not recognize 4mA
as a signal to shut off. If the call for heat is not
connected between the eld interlock terminals,
the MagnaTech will remain in low re when it
sees 4mA as a modulating signal.
All internal electrical components have been
prewired. No attempt should be made to connect
electrical wires to any other location except the
terminal blocks.
8.2 Main Power Connections
MagnaTech is provided with an electrical junction
box in the rear panel for easy connections and all
wires are factory installed between this junction box
and the Main High Voltage Box. The MagnaTech
line is equipped with multiple voltage packages to
adapt to customer needs ranging from 120-600 volts
with single or 3 phase versions. Refer to the rating
plate for appropriate voltage and current ratings. As
a common industry practice, Bradford White has
color coded the single and three phase wires.

Table 12. PhaseVoltageColorIdentication
On three phase models a step down transformer
(which is protected using an appropriate din rail
mounted circuit breaker) generates 120 volt single
phase to power the 24 Volt Transformer. The 120
volt and 24 volt outputs of either transformer are
protected with resettable fuses mounted in the top
of the high voltage box. The 24 volt transformer is
also redundantly protected by its integrated 4 amp
resettable fuse.

On single phase models, the incoming voltage will
be protected by the appropriate circuit breaker sized
and installed, by a qualied Electrician/authorized
personnel. The 120 volt and 24 volt systems will be
protected with resettable fuses mounted in the top
of the high voltage box. The 24 volt transformer is
also redundantly protected by its integrated 4 amp
resettable fuse.
8.3 Pump Connections and Operation
The controller in the MagnaTech energizes the
appropriate pump contacts when it receives a call for
heat. Once the call for heat is satised, the pumps
will remain on for the dened pump overrun time.
The Boiler, System, and DHW pump terminals
are found on the Main control board TB1-15A
through 20A. They are fed 120 Volts internally
from the main power feed. The current rating
of the contacts is 7.4 amps, and an appropriately
sized contactor must be supplied and installed
by a qualied technician to ensure proper pump
operation. Once the system has been installed, the
“Pump Conguration” menu will allow the installer
to adjust Pump control, Overrun time and Demand
control for the various pumps in the system.
Caution
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify
proper operation after operation servicing.
Attention
Au moment de l’entretien des commandes,
étiquetez tous les ls avant de les
débrancher. Les erreurs de câblage
peuvent nuire au bon fonctionnement et
être dangereuses. S’assurer que l’appareil
fonctionne adéquatement une fois l’entretien
terminé.
Caution
The supply voltage to the MagnaTech must
not be disengaged, except for service or
isolation, or unless otherwise instructed by
procedures outlined in this manual. To signal
a call for heat, use the correct terminals as
instructed in Section 8.

Return to previous screen
To change some parameters, a password is
required. The control system includes three
levels of password protection:
OEM Password Setup and parameter
changes available only to the
factory.
Installer Password Setup and parameter
changes made when the
system is installed, and
some diagnostic and
troubleshooting functions.
The installer level password
is “lnt” (lower case “LNT.”)
User Level (no password required)
Non-critical adjustments and
functions, including
adjusting the Central Heat
and Domestic Hot Water
setpoints, monitoring the
input and output variables,
reading parameters from the
controller, and reading the
error log
(For some special safety-related functions,
besides entering the correct password, the
system will ask you to go through an additional
“verication” process. For more information,
see the section on “Conguration.”)
When a password is necessary, the system will
present the keyboard screen. See Menu 3.

Menu 3. Keyboard Screen
The passwords used by this system are “case
sensitive” – it matters whether a letter in the
password is capitalized or not. Pressing the
Shift key toggles between capital and lower
case letters.
“BS” stands for “Back Space,” and also works
as a Delete key.
Anyone can view all of the parameters.

However, to change most of the parameters,
you will need a password.
At the bottom of the screen, the system
indicates that you need to enter a password.
Menu 4. Login Required
The screen used to Login is similar to the
Keyboard screen.
It may be difcult for some operators to press
the keys on this screen. In this case, use the
back of a plastic pen, or a stylus, or a pencil
eraser. (Do not use sharp metal tools – these
may damage the plastic surface of the screen.)
Each time you press a key, the system will
respond with a beep. If you are entering a
password, an asterisk (*) will appear for each
character you enter. The beeps and asterisks
will help you enter the correct number of
characters for your password.
When changing a numerical value, the system
presents a numerical entry screen, as shown
below.
correct and that there have not been any
inadvertent changes made.
1. When you start to change a parameter
that is related to safety, the system will
present a warning which looks like this:
Menu 6. Parameter Safety Warning
WARNING
Changing safety parameters should only be
conducted by experienced, licensed boiler
operators and mechanics. Hazardous burner
conditions can happen with improper operations
that may result in PROPERTY LOSS,
PHYSICAL INJURY, or DEATH.
Press OK to continue. The system will
ask you to login before you make a
change. (For more information on logging
in, see Section 8.2.)
2. If you make a change in any group that
could affect the safe operation of the unit,
the control system will ask you to “verify”
the change before it is accepted.

to conrm that all the changes made are
3. Once all parameters have been changed,
return to the congure menu. In the lower
right hand corner of the screen you will
see ‘VERIFY’ Press VERIFY, then press
BEGIN to start verication.
Notes –
• Once you change one of these safety-related
parameters, you must nish the verication
process for the group that includes the parameter,
or the control system will not let the boiler
operate. You can wait to do the verication until
you have changed parameters in other groups, but
before you return the boiler to service, you must
complete the verication process for all groups
that have been changed.
Page 53

• At the end of the verication process, you
must press the Reset button on the front of the
controller. See Figure 29. You have to do this
within 30 seconds, or the verication will be
cancelled. To make it easy to reach the Reset
button, open the door on the front of the boiler and
slide out the control panel before beginning the
verication.

A count-down timer is shown at the bottom
of the screen.
If you made changes in other safety-
related groups, verify the entries in those
groups in the same way. Do this until the
following screen shows

6. When the process is complete, the system
will
tell you to reset the control system. The
Reset button is located on the front of

9.6 Setting the Date and Time on the
System Display
The display includes an internal clock, which
keeps track of the date and time. This setting
is important, because log entries for Lockouts
and Alerts include time listings. If the Date
and Time setting for the boiler is not correct,
the listings in the Lockout and Alert logs will be
incorrect.
The display has a removable battery (CR2032)
to store time, date, lockout, and alerts in the
event of a power failure.
To set the clock:
1. Start at the ‘home’ screen.

Conguration
9.7.6 DemandPriorityConguration
From the Demand Priority Conguration, the installer can
adjust the priority of the different demand types.
-Central Heat
-Domestic Hot Water
-Lead Lag
The control uses arrows as indicators to point to the loop
with higher priority.
9.7.7 ModulationConguration
DHW - Domestic Hot Water is used to congure the
DHW temperature parameters for water heaters (MGV)
and for indirect water heaters that are used with boiler
(MGH) systems.
9.7.5 Warm Weather Shutdown
Conguration
Connect the outdoor reset sensor as descibed in Section
9.7.3
From this menu you will be able to enable/disable the
Warm Weather Shutdown feature and adjust the set point.
From this menu the installer has the ability to adjust the
range of modulation for the CH, and DHW demands.
MagnaTech is designed with a 5:1 turn down ratio. Any
change to the minimum and maximum modulation rates
will affect the overall ratio of the boiler. The installer
level password will allow changes to these parameters.
Consult the factory if an adjustment is needed to any of
these parameters.

The controller in the MagnaTech energizes the appropriate
pump contacts when it receives a call for heat. Once the
call for heat is satised, the pumps will remain on for the
dened pump overrun time.
The Boiler, System, and DHW pump terminals are
found on the Main control board TB1-15A through 20A.
They are fed 120 Volts internally from the main power
feed. The current rating of the contacts is 7.4 amps, and
an appropriately sized contactor must be supplied and
installed by a qualied technician to ensure proper pump
operation. Once the system has been installed, the “Pump
Conguration” menu will allow the installer to adjust
Pump control, Overrun time and Demand control for the
various pumps in the system.
9.7.9 StatisticsConguration
9.7.11 Stack Limits
Stack limit delay, response and setpoint can
be changed ONLY BY THE FACTORY.
9.7.12 Delta T Limits-
The statistics conguration menu allows the installer
to view Burner Cycles, Burner Run Time, DHW Pump
Cycles, Boiler Pump Cycles, and System Pump Cycles.
This menu is ‘Read-Only’
9.7.10 High Limits
The outlet High limit can be adjusted using the installer
password. After a change is made, the control will lockout
and require a Safety Verication (see Section 9.3 for more
details on Safety Verication).
Installers do not have access to change the Outlet High
Limit Response. That is only accessible to the factory.
MagnaTech is shipped with a factory set Delta T
(temperature rise) limit of 60 degrees F. The installer
has the ability to adjust the Delta T inlet/outlet degree
set point, Delta T delay, Delta T response, and the Delta
T retry limit using the installer level password. Only
the factory may disable this function.
9.7.13 Frost Protection
Frost protection will assist in keeping the
MagnaTech from freezing when the unit is not
able to re, but is still able to run the pumps.
The frost overrun time can be changed.

9.7.14 Burner Control Ignition
The Pilot test hold function allows the installer to set
the pilot ame to the required pressures listed in Table
16, without turning on the Main valve. With a call for
heat enabled the unit will start the normal sequence of
operation to light the pilot only. Once pilot pressure has
been properly set, the installer must disable call for heat
and turn this feature “OFF”. The next time a call for heat
is supplied the unit will light normally.
9.7.16SensorConguration
The outdoor temperature can be read from
the outdoor sensor that is shipped with the
MagnaTech, or from an Envirocom outdoor
sensor (sold separately). The Sensor
Conguration screen allows the installer to tell
the control which sensor is being used.
9.7.15SystemConguration
The installer can set the control to display
temperature units in °F or °C, can adjust the
anti short -cycle time, the low re cutoff time,
burner off inhibit time, and can set the time
allowed for an alarm to sound before being
silenced.

9.7.17LeadLagSlaveConguration
About Lead/Lag Operation -
If an installation includes two or more boilers, they
may be set up for “Lead/Lag” operation. One boiler
will be set up as the “Master”, and the others will
operate as “Slaves.” Figure 31 shows an installation
with eight boilers. (A Lead/Lag system can include up
to eight boilers.) The boiler controllers are connected
in a “daisy chain” using a Modbus connection.
A single System sensor is used to monitor the demand
for heat. The input from this sensor is used by the
Master controller to control the modulation rates of all
of the operating boilers.
Lead/Lag Modulation Cycle -
Note - We will explain the modulation cycle here, in
case you need to understand how the Lead/Lag system
actually operates. If you are installing the unit(s)
and want to skip this section, just remember that, as
the heating demand increases, the Lead/Lag system
puts more boilers on-line. As the heating demand is
reduced, the Lead/Lag system shuts off some of the
boilers.
The signal from the System sensor is sent to the unit
operating as the Lead/Lag Master. A Run sequence is
initiated when the system temperature falls to the Lead/
Lag Central Heat setpoint. (Actually this is the LL
CH setpoint less the On Hysteresis value. The default
setting for On Hysteresis is 5°F, but this is adjustable.)
Notice that, when a boiler is operating as part of a
Lead/Lag system, it does not use the normal CH
setpoint – it uses the special LL CH setpoint on the
Lead/Lag Master.
The unit acting as the Lead/Lag Master
decides which boiler is assigned to start rst. This
assignment is rotated across all of the available
boilers so that any one boiler does not run
signicantly longer than the others. The Lead/Lag
controller tracks the run times for all of the boilers,
and uses this to calculate the starting order for the
boilers. This means that each time the system starts
up, a different boiler may start rst.

Caution
You should set the Modbus addresses before
you connect the Modbus wiring. If the wiring
is attached before the Modbus addresses on
the controls are changed, there will be multiple
controls with the same address, and the system
will not work.
WARNING
If the Modbus addresses are not assigned
properly, the system could fail to operate
correctly, or it might operate in an unsafe
manner. This could lead to property damage,
personal injury or death.

Table 15. Base Load Settings
• When the Run sequence is initiated, the
boiler with the least amount of runtime
will re.
• If the heating demand increases so that
the ring rate of that rst boiler rises to
your boiler congurations Base Load
Value (see Table 15), the next boiler in
the sequence will start up and begin ring
at 20 to 35% fan speed (depending on
your conguration). After this, the entire
conguration of boilers will modulate
up or down together, in reaction to the
changes in demand.
See Figure 30 and Figure 32
Control Settings for Lead/Lag System Part 1
1. Power up all of the boilers in the system.
2. In an installation with several boilers, you
must give each boiler a different name,
sot that the controller of the Lead/Lag Master can
communicate with the other units. All of the units
come from the factory with a Modbus address of “1,”
so you will need to change some of these addresses.
On each unit, go to the screen for “System ID and
Access,” and enter a unique name.
3. The unit operating as the Lead/Lag Master must be
‘Master Enabled’ rst and then set up address “1,” and
the other boilers should each be ‘Slave Enabled’ and
have unique Modbus address numbers typically 2 thru
X (total number of boilers)
Figure 32. Lead / Lag Operation, 3 or more boilers
On the boilers, touch the controller Icon on the Home
Screen.

Wiring Connections for Lead/Lag -
Now you can make the Modbus wiring connections
between the units. The controller in each boiler
includes two wiring terminals for the Modbus system,
labeled “MB1” and “MB2.” MB1 has the wiring
connections to the User Interface display on each
unit, and MB2 is used to communicate with the other
boilers in the Lead/Lag system.
To reach the controller, open the cabinet of the boiler
by turning the door lock and then opening the doors.
The wiring from the controller on the rst boiler runs
to the controller on the next boiler. Use 22 AWG or
thicker shielded twisted-pair wire with drain. Two
twisted pairs or three conductors are needed. Wire A
on MB2 of Boiler 1 must be connected to A on MB2
of Boiler 2, wire B on Boiler 1 goes to B on Boiler
2, and wire C on Boiler 1 goes to C on Boiler 2.
Repeat this wiring for any other boilers in the system.
Connect all of the drain wires and ground the drain
wire on one end of the assembly only.

9.10 Variable speed pump control (VSPC)
is standard equipment on all BMGH boilers. Pump
speed is controlled to maintain a user-chosen
temperature rise between the inlet and outlet of the
MagnaTech.
General PCB Operation
1. The desired Delta T can be set to any of the
following values by moving or adding jumpers to the
JP2 terminal on the control: See Figure 35
-15 deg F/8 deg C
-20 deg F/10 deg C
-25 deg F/13 deg C
-30 deg F/ 16 deg C
By adding a second jumper, one on “15 deg F” and
one on “20 deg F”, it is possible to achieve 35 deg F
/19 deg C.
By adding a second jumper, one on “15 deg F” and
one on “25 deg F”, it is possible to achieve 40 deg
F/22 deg C.
2. As shipped, the VSPC has a jumper on the JP4
terminal, to operate a 0-10 VDC output. If a 4-20
mA output is needed, move the jumper to the JP5
terminal. Figure 35
3. Variable speed pump control can operate in °F
or °C. A jumper on the JP1 terminal allows the user
to choose the temperature scale.
4 If Main Gas valve is “OFF” AND a call for heat
is “TRUE” then the PCB overrides the PID control
and runs the pump output at 100% (10 VDC, or 20
mA).
5. Once the Main Gas valve is energized the PCB
will maintain pump output at 100% for 60 seconds
to allow the system to stabilize. Once the 60 second
timer has expired, the PCB will then run the pump
output speed based on the jumper setpoint. .
6. When “T-T” is satised, the PCB will run pump
at 100% output for the duration of the pump overrun
time.
7. A jumper on the “JP1” terminal on the VSPC
PCB will allow the Variable speed pump control to
operate in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. (Factory set
for Fahrenheit).
8. The VSPC PCB has a low end cap to prevent
nuisance low ow trips. The cap is factory
programmed to 2 VDC.
9. Factory settings are:
-Degrees - Fahrenheit
-Output Signal- 0 -10VDC
-Delta T setpoint - 30 °F/17 °C

9.11 – Combustion Setup Procedure
In this section, we will explain how to set up the
gas valve so the boiler will run efciently at both
the High Fire and Low Fire conditions.
Required tools: Screwdrivers, Torx bits, Allen
Wrench Set, Combustion Analyzer
WARNING
Improper adjustment may lead to poor combustion
quality, increasing the amount of carbon monoxide
produced. Excess carbon monoxide levels may
lead to personal injury or death.
1. On the Main Gas Valve, locate the
adjustments for high re throttle, and low
re offset.
Refer to Table 17 for appropriate CO2
ranges.

a call for heat and the boiler will begin its
sequence of operation (Refer to Section
12.8 for sequence of operation, and Table
16 for required pilot valve pressures.)
6. Once the pilot has lit, adjust pilot regulator
pressure to that described in Table 16.
With pilot still lit, view the ame through
the sight glass. An adjustment to the pilot
regulator may be needed if a yellow ame
is visible. Use the regulator adjustment to
adjust pilot ame to a nice blue hue while
ensuring that the pressure in the pilot

INITIAL STARTUP INSTRUCTIONS
10.1 Filling the Boiler System
B
RADFORD WHITE
1. Ensure the system is fully connected.
Close all bleeding devices and open the
make-up water valve. Allow the system to
ll slowly.
2. If a make-up water pump is employed,
adjust the pressure switch on pumping
system to provide a minimum of 12 psi
(81.8 kPa) at the highest point in the
heating loop.
3. If a water pressure regulator is provided
on the make-up water line, adjust the
pressure regulator to provide at least 12
psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest point in the
heating loop.
4. Open any bleeding devices on all radiation
units at the high points in the piping
throughout the system, unless automatic
air bleeders are provided at those points.
Note - There are three air bleeds located on top of
the water manifold.
WARNING
Failure to remove all air from the heat
exchanger could lead to property damage,
severe injury or death.
6. Open all strainers in the circulating system,
check the operation of the ow switch (if
equipped), and check for debris. If debris is
present, clean out the strainers to ensure
proper circulation.
7. Recheck all air bleeders as described in
Step 4.
8. Check the liquid level in the expansion
tank. With the system full of water and
under normal operating pressure, the level
of water in the expansion tank should not
exceed ¼ of the total, with the balance
lled with air.
9. Start up the boiler following the procedure
in this manual. Operate the entire system,
including the pump, boiler, and radiation
units for one hour.
tank drain, and drain to that level.
11. Shut down the entire system and vent
all radiation units and high points in the
system piping, as described in Step 4.
12. Close the make-up water valve. Check the
strainer in the pressure reducing valve for
sediment or debris from the make-up water
line. Reopen the make-up water valve.
13. Check the gauge for correct water
pressure, and also check the water level in
the system. If the height indicated above
the boiler ensures that water is at the
highest point in the circulating loop, then
the system is ready for operation.
14. Refer to local codes and the make-up
water valve manufacturer’s instructions as
to whether the make-up water valve should
be left open or closed.
15. After placing the unit in operation, the
ignition system safety shutoff device must
be tested.
First, shut off the manual gas valve,
and call the unit for heat. The main gas
terminals will be energized, attempting to
light, for ve seconds, and then will de-
energize. The unit will go into lockout after
the required number of trial for ignition
periods.
Second, press the manual reset button on
the boiler control, or the user display, open
the manual gas valve and allow the unit to
light. While the unit is operating, close the
manual gas valve and ensure that power to
the main gas valve has been cut.
16. Within three days of start-up, recheck all
air bleeders and the expansion tank as
described in Steps 4 and 8 above.
Note - The installer is responsible for identifying to
the owner/operator the location of all emergency
shutoff devices.
10. Recheck the water level in the expansion
tank. If the water level exceeds ¼ of the
volume of the expansion tank, open the

WARNING
Do not use this appliance if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a qualied
service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control that may have been
under water.
10.2 Initial Operation
The initial setup must be checked before the
unit is put into operation. Problems such as
failure to start, rough ignition, strong exhaust
odors, etc. can be due to improper setup.
Damage to the boiler resulting from improper
setup is not covered by the limited warranty.
10.2.1 Initial Burner Operation
1. Using this manual, make sure the
installation is complete and in full
compliance with the instructions and all
local codes.
2. Determine that the unit and system are
lled with water and all air has been bled
from both. Open all valves.
3. Observe all warnings on the Operating
Instructions label and turn on gas and
electrical power to the unit.
4. The MagnaTech will enter the start
sequence. The blower and pump will
energize for pre-purge, then the ignition
sequence will start. After all safety
devices are veried, the gas valve will
open. If ignition doesn’t occur, turn off the
MagnaTech. Check that there is proper
supply of gas. Wait ve minutes and start
the unit again.
5. If ignition starts normally, leave the
MagnaTech turned on.
6. After placing the unit in operation, the
Burner Safety Shutoff Device must be
tested:
(a) Close the gas shutoff valve with the
burner operating.
(b) The ame will go out, and the blower
will continue to run for the post purge
cycle. A few additional attempts to
light will follow including pre-purge,
ignitor on, valve/ame on and post
purge. Ignition will not occur because
the gas is turned off. The ignition
control will lockout.
(c) Open the gas shutoff valve. Reset
the boiler control by pressing the
Reset button on the control. Restart
the appliance. The ignition sequence
will start again and the burner will
start. The appliance will return to its
previous mode of operation.
Caution
If any odor of gas is detected, or if the gas
burner does not appear to be functioning
in a normal manner, close the main gas shutoff valve. Do not shut off the power
switch. Contact your heating contractor, gas
company, or factory representative.
10.2.2 Combustion Setup Procedure
See the detailed instructions in Section 9.10.
WARNING
Improper adjustment may lead to poor
combustion quality, increasing the amount of
carbon monoxide produced. Excessive carbon
monoxide levels may lead to personal injury or
death.
10.3 Shutting Down the MagnaTech
Thisstepmustbeperformedbyaqualied
service person.
1. Turn off the main electrical disconnect
switch.

RADFORD WHITE
WARNING
Disconnect all power to the unit before
attempting any service procedures. Contact with
electricity can result in severe injury or death.
11.1 System Maintenance
Do the following once a year:
1. Lubricate all the pumps in the system, per
the instructions on the pump.
2. Inspect the venting system for obstruction
or leakage. Periodically clean the screens
in the vent terminal and combustion air
terminal (when used).
3. Keep the area around the unit clear and
free of combustible materials, gasoline, or
other ammable vapors or liquids.
4. If the unit is not going to be used for
extended periods in locations where
freezing normally occurs, it should be
isolated from the system and completely
drained of all water.
5. Low water cutoffs, if installed, should be
checked every year. Float type low water
cutoffs should be ushed periodically.
6. Inspect and clean the condensate
collection, oat switch and disposal system
yearly.
7. When a means is provided to neutralize
condensate, ensure that the condensate is
being neutralized properly.
8. Inspect the ue passages, and clean them
using brushes or vacuums, if necessary.
Sooting in ue passages indicates
improper combustion. Determine the
cause of the problem and correct it.
9. Inspect the vent system and air intake
system, and ensure that all joints are
sealed properly. If any joints need to
be resealed, completely remove the
existing sealing material, and clean with
alcohol. Apply new sealing material, and
reassemble.
10. Once a year, the items listed below
should be inspected by a qualied service
technician:
a. Appliance control f. Flow switch
b. Automatic gas valve g. Low water
cutoff
c. Pressure switches h. Burner
d. Blower i. Heat exchanger
e. Pump j. Ignitor
Do the following once every six months:
1. If a strainer is employed in a pressure
reducing valve or the piping, clean it every
six months.
11.2 Maintenance Notes
Use only genuine Bradford White replacement parts.
Caution
When servicing the controls, label all wires before disconnecting them. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
The gas and electric controls in the MagnaTech
are engineered for long life and dependable
operation, but the safety of the equipment
depends on their proper functioning.
11.2.1 Burner
Check the burner for debris. Remove the blower
assembly to access the blower adapter plate.
Remove the 4 bolts connecting the blower to
the arm. Remove the 5blower adapter plate
to access the burner. Pull the burner up and
out. Clean the burner, if necessary, by blowing
compressed air from the outside of the burner
into the center of the burner, and wipe the
inside of the burner clean with glass cleaner. A
dirty burner may be an indication of improper
combustion or dirty combustion air. Determine
the cause of the problem, and correct it. If the
burner gaskets are damaged, replace them
when replacing the burner.
11.2.2 Modulating Gas Valve/ Venturi
The modulating gas valve consists of a valve
body that incorporates the On/Off gas ow
control and a negative pressure regulator. It
provides the air/gas ratio control in combination
Page 75
MagnaTech
BOILERS AND VOLUME WATER HEATERS
with the fuel/air mixer to the unit. It is designed
to operate with gas supply pressure between
4 and 13 inches w.c.. To remove the gas valve
or fuel/air mixer, shut off the power supply
to the boiler. Turn off all manual gas valves
connecting the boiler to the main gas supply
line. Remove the front doors of the boiler, and
the top panels, to gain access to the gas valve
and fuel/air mixer. Disconnect the four ange
bolts connecting the gas manifold pipe to the
gas valve. Remove the electrical connections to
the gas valve. Remove the bolts connecting the
fuel/air mixer ange to the blower. This allows
the entire gas valve and fuel/air mixer assembly
to be removed as an assembly to facilitate
inspection and cleaning.
After the valve has been removed, reassemble
in reverse order making sure to include all
gaskets and O-rings. Turn on the manual gas
valves and check for gas leaks. Turn on the
main power. Place the unit in operation following
the instructions in Section 10. Once the boiler is
operating, check for leaks again and conrm all
fasteners are tight.
Check the setup for the unit according to the
instructions in Section 9.
Page 71
11.2.4 Hot Surface Ignitor
The ignitor equipped in MagnaTech is a
silicone-nitride ceramic encased hot surface
ignitor. The silicone-nitride element is extremely
fragile and should be handled with care in the
event of removal (never touch the siliconenitride tip with bare skin, oils in your skin can
cause damage and failure upon heat up. To
verify a defective ignitor the cold resistance of
the wires can be measure to be in the range of
9-17 oHms if the ignitor is good, and zero oHms
would indicate a defective ignitor.
11.2.5 Flame Sensor
The ame sensor is a single rod system. The
minimum ame signal that will allow the unit
to re is 0.8 volts. To replace the ame sensor
electrode, shut off the power supply to the
boiler. Turn off all manual gas valves connecting
the boiler to the main gas supply line. Open
the front doors of the boiler to gain access to
the ame sensor electrode. Remove the ame
sensor wire from the electrode. Remove the
two nuts fastening the electrode to the burner
plate. Remove and replace the old ame sensor
gasket. If the old electrode is determined to
be defective, reinstall a new ame sensor
electrode in the reverse order.
11.2.3 Controller
Each MagnaTech has an integrated controller
that incorporates manual reset high limit control,
operating temperature control, modulating
control, ignition control, outdoor reset control,
pump control and many other features. If
any of these features are thought to be
defective, please consult the factory for proper
troubleshooting practices before replacing a
control.
If it is necessary to replace a controller, turn
off all power to the unit and shut off all manual
gas valves to the unit. Open the front doors to
the unit. Remove all wire connections from the
control board. The control board connections
are keyed to only allow connection in the
proper location, but proper handling techniques
should be used to avoid damage to the wiring
or connectors. To remove the control, undo the
mounting screws. To replace the control repeat
the steps listed above in the reverse order
making sure to connect all wires in the proper
locations. Place the unit in operation following
the steps outlined in Section 10.
Caution
The igniters and sensors get become very hot.
If you touch these parts accidentally, this can
cause burns or injury.
11.2.7 Blower
The combustion air blower is a high pressure
centrifugal blower with a variable speed motor
driven by a factory installed VFD located in
the high voltage box. The speed of the motor
is determined by the controls logic which is
delivered to the VFD by a 0-10VDC signal.
Even with the unit powered up and a call for
heat off, the VFD is still supplying voltage to the
blower motor but at 0 HZ. Main Power MUST
be disconnected before any attempt is made to
service the blower.
If it is necessary to replace or remove the
blower, turn off main power, remove hardware
that connects the Fuel/Air mixer to the blower,
then remove the hardware that connects
Page 76
Page 72
B
RADFORD WHITE
the blower to the adapter plate. If the fan is
determined to be defective, replace the existing
fan with a new one by reversing the steps
listed above. Be sure to install all the required
gaskets and o-rings between blower, adapter
plate, and Fuel/Air mixer.
11.2.8 Heat Exchanger Tubes
Black carbon soot buildup on the external
surfaces of the heat exchanger is caused
by one or more of the following; incomplete
combustion, combustion air problems, venting
problems or heater short cycling. Soot buildup
or other debris on the heat exchanger may
restrict the ue passages.
If black carbon soot buildup on the heat
exchanger is suspected, disconnect the
electrical supply to the unit, and turn off the
gas supply by closing the manual gas valve on
the unit. Access the heat exchanger through
the heat exchanger shrouds. Removal of
the outer bafes may be required for proper
inspection. Use a ashlight. If there is a buildup
of black carbon soot or other debris on the heat
exchanger, clean per the following:
Caution
Black carbon soot buildup on a dirty heat
exchanger can be ignited by a random spark
or ame. To prevent this from happening,
dampen the soot deposits with a wet brush
or ne water spray before servicing the heat
exchanger.
1. Shut off the Main power supply to the
boiler.
2. Turn off all manual gas valves connecting
the boiler to the main gas supply line.
3. Remove the blower assembly and burner
from the heat exchanger.
of the debris out of the bottom of the ue
collector and into the longer condensate
trap line, which is being diverted into a
separate container.
Note - The Warranty does not cover damage
caused by lack of required maintenance, lack of
water ow, or improper operating practices.
WARNING
Failure to rinse the debris from the heat
exchanger and temporary drain line may
lead to clogged condensate lines, traps
and neutralizers. Condensate pumps
(if used) may also be damaged from
the debris left behind, possibly causing
property damage.
8. To place the unit back in operation, install
all removed components in the reverse
order. Be sure all gaskets are in place as
the components are installed. Replace any
damaged gaskets. Do not reuse damaged
gaskets.
9. Place the appliance in operation according
to Section 9, checking all gas connections
for leaks. Conrm all fasteners are tight.
11.2.9 Gas Pressure Switches
The high and low gas pressure switches are
120 Volt manual reset switches that act to cut
power to the interlock circuit if the gas pressure
is too low or too high for proper operation.
The gas pressure switches used are integrally
vent limited, and do not require venting to
atmosphere. To remove a switch, remove the
screw on the plastic housing and pull the clear
cover off. Disconnect the three wires from the
screw terminals. Twist the switch off the pipe
nipple. Reassemble in reverse order.
Set the low gas pressure switch to 3” w.c.
Set the high gas pressure switch to 15”w.c..”
4. Disconnect the condensate drain line.
5. Attach a longer hose to the drain and run it
to a bucket.
6. Clean the heat exchanger by brushing
away any light accumulations of soot and
debris. Use a non metallic brush with soft
bristles to avoid damaging the surfaces of
the heat exchanger tubes.
7. Once the tubes have been brushed clean,
rinse the tubes and combustion chamber
with a small amount of water to rinse all

TROUBLESHOOTING
12.1 Lockouts, Holds, and Alerts
The control system on the MagnaTech
responds to three kinds of trouble
indications:
• LOCKOUT: A “lockout” is caused by
a serious problem that might involve a
safety issue. Once the controller enters a
lockout, the burners will shut down, and will
not be allowed to run again until the cause
of the problem is corrected, and the control
is manually reset. The controller will also
lockout if you change a safety-related
parameter, and the unit will require ‘Safety
Verication’ before the control will be
allowed to operate. (For more information
on verication, see Section 9) During a
lockout condition, the image of the affected
controller on the ‘home’ screen will appear
in red. A bell symbol will appear in the
upper left-hand corner of the control
screen. The system maintains a “history”
of the 15 most recent lockouts.
• HOLD: The system may enter a “hold” for
a period of time before locking out. This
allows the controller to see if the error
becomes resolved prior to the hard lockout.
Holds may also show during ignition
sequence and normal operation, as the
control moves from one task to another.
• ALERT: An “alert” indicates that some
feature of the control system’s operation
was not correct, delayed or waiting for
a response. This indicates a change in
state of the control system and doesn’t
necessarily mean there is a problem. For
example, Alerts occur as the fan speed
transitions from the pre-purge to the
startup. This indicates that the control
system is waiting for a condition to be
satised. No Reset is required to recover
from an alert. The system maintains a
“history” of the 15 most recent alerts.
Sometimes it can be helpful to check this
list as a troubleshooting aid.
12.1.1 Responding to a Lockout, Hold, or Alert
1. If a problem occurs while the system is
starting up, the system will declare a Hold.
A brief explanation of the cause of the
Hold will appear in an orange bar across
the bottom of the screen. If you tap the
orange bar, the system will present more
information about the Hold.
Page 73
Correct the cause of the problem, and press
the button on the screen to clear the Hold.
2. If a serious problem continues, the system
will Lockout. A brief explanation of the
cause of the Lockout will appear in an
orange bar across the bottom of the
screen. If you tap the orange bar, the
system will present more information about
the Lockout.
Correct the cause of the problem, and press
the Reset button.
3. If an Alert occurs while the system is
running, the system will present a note
across the bottom of the screen. If you
tap the orange bar, the system will present
more information about the Alert. Press the
OK button to indicate that you have seen
the Alert.
4. If an audible alarm on the display is active,
you can use the Silence button to stop it.
12.1.2 Viewing the Lockout and Alert
Histories
If your boiler is in a Lockout status, the Home
Screen will be look like Menu 29

12.8 Operating Sequence
When there is a call for heat, the unit will
close pump contacts to energize the customer
supplied relay/contactor to start water ow.
Once the LCI circuit (ow switch, gas pressure
switches, LWCO, and High Limit aquastats)
are completed the unit will start the blower and
begin the ignition sequence. MagnaTech is
equipped with a low and high re air pressure
switch. The unit will pre-purge at 65% fan for
30 seconds and prove fan through the blocked
intake switch. Once fan is proven, the blower
will proceed to 24% and the 10 second Preignition timer will start to allow the HSI to heat
up. Once the Pre-ignition timer has expired
the control will open the Pilot solenoid and the
Pilot Flame Establishing Period (PFEP) will
start for 10 seconds to establish ame. Once
ame has been established and the 10 second
timer has expired the control will open the main
valve and the Main Flame Establishing Period
will begin for a period of 5 seconds. If ame is
established within those 5 seconds then unit
will proceed to Run, if ame does not establish
the unit will post-purge to 100% for 30 seconds
and the sequence for ignition will begin again.
For Non CSD-1 units retry for ignition is 3 times
before Lockout 109 (Ignition Failure) occurs.
For CSD-1 units there is a single retry before
