Please read and save for future reference the entire instruction manual before attempting installation of or starting the unit. Insurance and local or state regulatory codes may contain additional or more stringent requirements than those contained in this manual. Installation must conform to these codes and any other authority having jurisdiction. This instruction manual shall be posted and maintained in a legible condition.
1.2.1 MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES
1.1 BOILER FOUNDATION
Before uncrating, the boiler location should be prepared. The boiler should set upon a good level concrete floor. If the boiler is not level or the floor is not in good condition, a concrete foundation should be built, the dimensions being larger than the outside dimensions of the boiler base. A 4” high housekeeping pad is suggested.
WARNING:
Do not install boiler on combustible flooring.
1.2 CLEARANCES
See Table 1 for minimum clearances to walls, ceilings, or obstructions. The clearances in Table 1 are intended as a general recommendation only. Local codes must be applied to specific installations and the minimum clearances established accordingly. Provisions must also be made for service, accessibility and clearance for piping and electrical connections. Do not obstruct combustion air and ventilation openings with piping or any other construction. All boilers must be installed in a space that is large compared to the boiler.
NOTE:
These boilers should be installed in a room that is large compared to the size of the boiler. They are not intended for alcove installation and are suitable for installation on non-combustible flooring only. Adhere to all applicable local codes regarding boiler installation and clearances.

Revision: 0 Form: 2396
BE REMOVED after the boiler is set in-place on its concrete foundation before any piping/electrical connections are made. It is recommended that the plastic protective cover be left on as long as possible to reduce finish damage from the installation.
1.4 BOILER CONNECTIONS
Do not run any pipes along the tube access panel side of the boiler. Maintain clearances as shown on the dimensional drawing for servicing of the boiler tubes. Provide at least 48" from the front of the boiler, unless a larger dimension is indicated on the dimensional. All piping should be designed and installed to avoid any loadings on the boiler connections or piping.
1.4.1 FLOW CONNECTION
The system supply and return flow connections are shown on Figure 3 and Figure 4 respectively. A gate valve should be installed on the boiler outlet and inlet lines. This allows the boiler to be isolated from the heating system for draining and servicing.
1.4.5 CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION
A 1” MPT connection is provided to drain the condensed products of combustion from a trap located beneath the boiler. This must be run to a drain using stainless steel or PVC piping. The condensate temperature should never exceed
o
212
F and the pH of the condensate should never be greater than 3.5. NO VALVE is to be installed in this line from the boiler to point of discharge.
1.4.6 GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
The installation must conform completely to the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction, or in the absence of such, requirements shall conform in the U.S. to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1984, or in Canada to the current Natural gas and propane installation code (CAN/CSA B149.1-05), and applicable regional regulations for the class; which should be followed carefully in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.
1.4.2 SAFETY RELIEF VALVES
Safety relief valve(s) are shipped loose. Connections are provided in the top of the boiler for the safety relief valve(s). The safety relief valve discharge piping must be the same size as the safety relief valve discharge opening and run to a point of safe discharge. Avoid over­tightening as this can distort valve seats. All piping from the safety relief valve(s) must be independently supported with no weight carried by the valve.
1.4.3 EXPANSION TANK CONNECTIONS
Connection(s) to an expansion tank are to be provided by others in the system piping separate from the boiler.
1.4.4 DRAIN CONNECTION
A drain valve must be installed on the boiler drain connection, the same pipe size as this connection, to allow draining of the boiler.
1.4.7 DRIP LEG
A drip leg, or sediment trap, must be installed in the gas supply line. See Fig. 1.5A. The gas line must be connected to a supply main at least as large as the gas train connection at the boiler. This connection should be made with a union so that the boiler gas train components and burner may be easily removed for service.
1.4.8 GAS PIPING LEAK TEST
Leaks shall be checked using a soap and water solution.
After completion of the gas-piping hookup, the installation must be checked for leaks. All joints up to the main motorized gas valve shall be checked. A pressure gauge shall be installed down stream of the main motorized gas valve and up stream of the manual gas shutoff valve in the closed position to ensure the main motorized valves are not leaking by. During commissioning, the remainder of the gas train joints down stream of the main motorized gas

1.7.3 MARKING OF GAS VENTS
Where solid and liquid fuels are used, gas vents, must be plainly and permanently identified by a label. The label should read, "This gas vent is for appliances that burn gas only. Do not connect to incinerators or solid or liquid fuel burning appliances." This label must be attached to the wall or ceiling at a point near where the gas vent connector enters the wall, ceiling or chimney. The authority having jurisdiction must determine whether their area constitutes such a locality.
Solid Fuel Appliance Vents
Gas appliances shall not be vented to a vent or a chimney that serves a solid-fuel burning appliance.
shaft used for return air, hot air, ventilating air, or combustion air.

1.8.1 HYDROSTATIC TEST OF BOILERS AND SYSTEM
After completing the boiler and burner installation, the boiler connections, fittings, attachments and adjacent piping must be inspected for leaks by filling the unit with water. The pressure should be gradually increased to a pressure just below the setting of boiler safety relief valve(s).
Remove the boiler tube access panels (see dimensional drawing in the boiler manual). Inspect the tube to header joints to be certain that all tube fittings are sealed. This is necessary because, although the boiler is hydrostatically tested at the factory, minor leaks in fittings and at attachments can develop from shipping vibration or from installation procedures. It is often necessary to retighten such fittings after installation and after the boiler has been operated for some time. Replace tube access panels before proceeding to start boiler.

These parameters can be edited, and when the user is finished, control returns back to the configuration menu page. Each parameter is displayed in its group. If there are more parameters than will fit on the screen, a vertical scroll bar allows the user to scroll up and down to view all parameters. The parameter name is displayed on the left and the current setting is displayed in the text box on the right.
2.2.7 CONFIGURATION PASSWORD
Any user can view the configuration parameters (default mode). No access-level password is required to view the parameters. A valid configuration password for the parameter’s level must be entered before the parameter can be changed. The password need only be entered once while the user remains on the configuration pages. Leaving the configuration pages ends the scope of the password entry. The user is notified that a new password is needed upon the first attempt to change a parameter (or until a password is entered successfully). The user can continue viewing the configuration parameters regardless of whether a password is entered successfully.
The boiler also maintains a password timeout that limits the scope of the password entry. Once a password is successfully entered the boiler starts an internal timer that expires after 10 minutes of inactivity. After the timer expires, the user is required to re-enter a password before a parameter can be changed. The user is not required to enter a configuration password
Explosion Hazard.
Improper configuration can cause fuel buildup and explosion. Improper user operation may result in PROPERTY LOSS, PHYSICAL INJURY or DEATH. Changing parameters, must be attempted by only experienced and/or licensed burner / boiler operators and mechanics.
Three levels of write access to boiler parameters are permitted. Each access level has defined rights when interfacing with configuration and status parameters in the Boiler.
End user: The lowest access rights (no
password login). The end user can, in most cases, only read or view boiler parameters. In some instances the end user can change boiler parameters, e.g., change the CH, central heat, setpoint.
Installer: The next highest level. The installer
can read all boiler parameters and change most boiler parameters. This access level is used to customize the boiler for a particular installation. The default installer password is ‘
bryan’.
OEM: The highest access level. The OEM can
read and change all R7910 parameters, as well as change sensor limits and burner control safety parameters
.
Different passwords exist in the boiler for each access level. The end user level requires no password, but the installer and OEM levels have unique passwords defined for them. The display
