CAUTION

NOTICE

This boiler has a limited warranty, a copy of which is printed on the back of this manual. The warranty for this boiler is valid only if the boiler has been installed, maintained and operated in

accordance with these instructions. Surface rust on cast iron sections may be attributed to the manufacturing process as well as condensation

during storage. Surface rust is normal and does not affect the performance or longevity of a boiler.

DANGER

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death. Read and understand all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers manuals which are provided with the appliance before installing, starting-up, operating, maintaining or servicing this appliance. Keep this manual and literature in legible condition and posted near appliance for reference by owner and service technician.

This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained

in this manual. Installation, maintenance, and service must be performed only by an experienced, skilled and knowledgeable

installer or service agency. All heating systems should be designed by competent contractors and only persons knowledgeable in

the layout and installation of hydronic heating systems should attempt installation of any boiler. Installation is not complete unless a safety valve is installed into 1½"" x ¾"" NPT reducing bushing,

mounted into rear section boss, at the back of rear section. See Unit-Pak Boiler Assembly and Steam Boiler Trim & Piping Sections of this manual for details.

It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are operating properly when the installation is completed.

This boiler is suitable for installation on combustible ooring. Do not install boiler on carpeting.

Do not tamper with or alter the boiler or controls.

Inspect ueways at least once a year - preferably at the start of the heating season. The inside of the combustion chamber, the vent system and boiler ueways should be cleaned if soot or scale has

accumulated. When cleaning this boiler, take precaution to avoid damage to burner swing door insulation. If damaged,

or if there is evidence of previous damage, burner swing door insulation must be replaced immediately. Oil Burner and Controls must be checked at least once a year or as may be necessitated.

Do not operate unit with jumpered or absent controls or safety devices. Do not operate unit if any control, switch, component, or device has been subject to water.

Appliance materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy metals, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which can cause death or serious injury and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth

defects and other reproductive harm. Always use proper safety clothing, respirators and equipment when

servicing or working nearby the appliance.

WARNING

This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. Do not unscrew any pipe ttings nor attempt

to disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no

pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this

boiler to prevent scald injuries. Do not rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the temperature and pressure of the boiler. This boiler contains components which become very hot when the boiler is operating. Do not touch any components unless they are cool.

This boiler must be properly vented. The chimney must be inspected for any obstructions and cleaned

prior to each heating season. A clean and unobstructed chimney ue is necessary to produce the minimum draft required to safely evacuate noxious fumes that could cause personal injury or loss of life. Evidence of loose debris and or condensate induced stains at the base of the chimney ue, connector or smokepipe joints may be signs of condensing ue gases. Flue gas condensate is corrosive, which requires special

consideration and must be addressed immediately. Refer to Section V, "Venting and Air Intake Piping".

This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate

combustion and ventilation air. This boiler is supplied with controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start without

service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent damage if the boiler is inoperative.

This boiler is designed to burn No. 2 fuel oil only. Do not use gasoline, crankcase drainings, or any oil containing gasoline. Never burn garbage or paper in this boiler. Do not convert to any solid fuel (i.e.

wood, coal). Do not convert to any gaseous fuel (i.e. natural gas, LP). All ammable debris, rags, paper,

wood scraps, etc., should be kept clear of the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area clean and free of

re hazards. All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which, if ignored, can cause severe

property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Before opening swing door, unplug burner power cord from receptacle located in lower right corner of jacket front panel and turn off service switch to boiler

to prevent accidental ring of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door

fasteners completely when service is completed.

SECTION I: PRE-INSTALLATION

A. INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of

damage.

1. All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected

and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery of crated boiler to the carrier in good condition.

2. Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment

must be led immediately against the carrier by the

consignee. No claims for variances from, or shortage

in orders, will be allowed by the manufacturer

unless presented within sixty (60) days after receipt of goods.

B. LOCATE BOILER in front of nal position before

removing crate. See Figure 1.

1. LOCATE so that vent pipe connection to chimney

will be short and direct.

2. BOILER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION

ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. Boiler cannot be

installed on carpeting.

3. FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide

a solid elevated base, such as concrete, if oor is not level, or if water may be encountered on oor around boiler.

4. PROVIDE RECOMMENDED SERVICE

CLEARANCE, if applicable, as follows:

a. Clearance from Jacket Front Panel -

• 24" for servicing burner

• 24" for ueway cleaning (MST288 &

MST396)

• 30" for ueway cleaning (MST513)

• 36" for ueway cleaning (MST629)

b. Clearance from Jacket Left Side Panel -

• 19" for burner swing door, if opened fully with burner mounted, otherwise 1" with burner removed

• 12" access clearance to service rear of

boiler if right side clearance is less

than 12"

• 1" minimum if right side clearance is 12" or

larger to access and service rear of boiler.

c. Clearance from Jacket Right Side Panel -

• 6" minimum from external Electrical Enclosure if left side clearance is 12" or

larger to access and service rear of the boiler

• 24" minimum from rear tanklesss heater (if equipped) for servicing and removal of the heater

d. Clearance from Jacket Rear Panel -

• 12" minimum for rear smokebox cleaning

(Note: This dimension will also be

controlled by horizontal to vertical to horizontal smokepipe arrangement - See

Figures 2 and 14.)

5. For minimum clearances to combustible materials.

See Figure 2.

Figure 2: Minimum Installation Clearances To Combustible Materials (Inches)

NOTES:

1. Listed clearances comply with American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 31, Installation of Oil Burning Equipment.

2. MegaSteam™ boilers can be installed in rooms with clearances from combustible material as listed above.

Listed clearances cannot be reduced for alcove or closet

installations.

3. For reduced clearances to combustible material, protection must be provided as described in the above ANSI/NFPA 31

standard.

NOTICE

Clearance to venting is for single wall vent pipe. If Type L vent is used, clearance may be

reduced to the minimum required by the vent pipe

manufacturer.

C. PROVIDE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

AIR. Local and National Codes may apply and should

be referenced.

WARNING

Adequate combustion and ventilation air must

be provided to assure proper combustion and to maintain safe ambient air temperatures.

Do not install boiler where gasoline or other

ammable vapors or liquids, or sources of

hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, fabric softeners, etc.) are used or stored.

Do not install boiler in laundry room, or, in

vicinity of clothes dryer to prevent inadequate

air supply to burner and lint contamination of burner air intake openings.

1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms

communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the space.

Volume(ft3) = Length(ft) x Width(ft) x Height(ft)

2. Determine total input of all appliances in the space. Add inputs of all appliances in the space and round

the result to the nearest 1000 BTU per hour.

3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by total

input of all appliances in space. If the result is greater than or equal to 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour, then it is considered an unconned space. If the result is less than 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour then the space is considered a conned space.

4. For boiler located in an unconned space of a conventionally constructed building, the fresh

air inltration through cracks around windows

and doors normally provides adequate air for

combustion and ventilation.

5. For boiler located in a conned space or an unconned space in a building of unusually tight

construction, provide outdoor air.

a. Outdoor air for combustion may be provided

with an optional Burnham Inlet Air Accessory

Kit, Part Number 611280031 (only available and suitable for use on Beckett AFG with burner enclosure cover burner). See Section V

for installation details.

b. Outdoor air may be provided with the use of two

permanent openings which communicate directly

or by duct with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or

attic) freely communicating with the outdoors. Locate one opening within 12 inches of top of space. Locate remaining opening within 12

inches of bottom of space. Minimum dimension of air opening is 3 inches. Size each opening per following:

i. Direct communication with outdoors.

Minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment in space.

ii. Vertical ducts. Minimum free area of 1

square inch per 4,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional

area shall be same as opening free area.

iii. Horizontal ducts. Minimum free area of 1

square inch per 2,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional

area shall be same as opening free area.

Alternate method for boiler located within

conned space. Use indoor air if two

permanent openings communicate directly

with additional space(s) of sufcient volume such that combined volume of all spaces meet criteria for unconned space. Size each

opening for minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1,000 BTU per hour input of all

equipment in spaces, but not less than 100

square inches.

6. Louvers and Grilles of Ventilation Ducts

a. All outside openings should be screened and

louvered. Screens used should not be smaller

than 1/4 inch mesh. Louvers will prevent the entrance of rain and snow.

b. Free area requirements need to consider the

blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens

protecting the openings. If the free area of the louver or grille is not known, assume wood louvers have 20-25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles have 60-75 percent free area.

c. Louvers and grilles must be xed in the open

position, or interlocked with the equipment to open automatically during equipment operation.

Figure 10: Oil Burner Installation

SECTION III: STEAM BOILER PIPING & TRIM

WARNING

Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper operation and damage to boiler or structure.

Do not increase steam boiler input above the ratings.

A. EVALUATE THE EXISTING STEAM SYSTEM. The single most important factor in determining the

expected life cycle of a steam boiler, is the amount of fresh water added to the boiler during operation. Fresh water brings minerals and oxygen into the boiler. These

contaminants greatly accelerate corrosion of the cast

iron boiler sections.

1. Assure that all system radiators, piping and vents are

absolutely leak tight. a. When a steam boiler is installed in an existing

system, ALL air vents should be replaced at the same time. This assures that the new boiler will not be compromised by existing system leaks.

b. If the system contains hidden supply or return

piping (hidden behind walls, buried in concrete,

etc.) pressure test this piping to assure there are no leaks.

B. CONNECT SYSTEM SUPPLY AND RETURN

NOTICE

2. Repair any leaks in the system.

3. Install accurate water meter on the fresh water

supply to the boiler.

PIPING TO BOILER.

details. Also consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.

See Figure 11 for piping

CAUTION

Maintain minimum ½ inch clearance from hot water piping to combustible materials.

Do not use softened water in steam boilers. Accelerated boiler corrosion will result. Tie in fresh water supply to the boiler upstream of a water softener.

Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can lead to boiler failure. Burnham's Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen

contamination of boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by frequent addition of water.

Before using copper for steam piping, consider the following characteristics of copper piping:

1) high coefcient of thermal expansion can induce mechanical stresses and cause expansion/

contraction noises if not accounted for in the piping system design and installation,

2) high heat transfer rate (heat loss) of uninsulated copper piping must be included in the normal piping and pickup factors used to size the boiler,

3) soldering or brazing pastes and uxes that end up in the system can cause poor heat transfer,

surging, an unsteady water line and wet steam if not thoroughly removed during the boil out procedure and,

4) galvanic corrosion of the adjoining metal may occur due to dissimilar metals in certain water chemistries if dielectric unions are not used.

Figure 11: Recommended Boiler Piping for Gravity Return Steam Boiler

SECTION IV: TANKLESS & INDIRECT WATER HEATER PIPING

A. CONNECT TANKLESS HEATER PIPING as

shown in Figure 12. See Table 4 for Tankless Heater

Rating.

WARNING

Install automatic mixing valve at tankless heater outlet to avoid risk of burns or scalding due to

excessively hot water at xtures. Adjust and

maintain the mixing valve in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not operate tankless heater without mixing valve.

THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHEN PIPING THE TANKLESS

HEATER:

1. FLOW REGULATION — If ow through the

heater is greater than its rating, the supply of

adequate hot water may not be able to keep up with the demand. For this reason a ow regulator matching the heater rating should be installed in the cold water line to the heater. The ow regulator should preferably be located below the inlet to the heater and a minimum of 3’ away from the inlet so that the regulator is not subjected to excess

temperatures that may occur during “off” periods

when it is possible for heat to be conducted back through the supply line. The ow regulator also limits the ow of supply water regardless of inlet

pressure variations in the range of 20 to 125 psi.

2. TEMPERING OF HOT WATER — Installation of an automatic mixing valve will lengthen the

delivery of the available hot water by mixing some cold water with the hot. This prevents the possibility of scalding hot water at the xtures. In addition, savings of hot water will be achieved since the user

will not waste as much hot water while seeking a water temperature. Higher temperature hot water

required by dishwashers and automatic washers is

possible by piping the hot water from the heater

prior to entering the mixing valve. The mixing valve

should be “trapped” by installing it below the cold

water inlet to heater to prevent lime formation in the valve. Refer to Figure 12.

3. FLUSHING OF HEATER — All water contains some sediment which settles on the inside of the

coil. Consequently, the heater should be periodically back washed. This is accomplished by installing hose bibs as illustrated and allowing water at city pressure to run into hose bib A, through the heater, and out hose bib B until the discharge is clear. The tees in which the hose bibs are located should be the same size as heater connections to minimize

pressure drop.

4. HARD WATER — A water analysis is necessary

to determine the hardness of your potable water. This is applicable to some city water and

particularly to well water. An appropriate water

softener should be installed based on the analysis and dealer’s recommendation. This is not only benecial to the tankless heater but to piping and xtures plus the many other benets derived from

soft water.

NOTICE

During summertime operation, the normal water line on a steam boiler can be raised 1", from 28-7/8" to 29-7/8" (see Figure 1) for improved tankless heater performance on steam boilers.

Use street elbow ttings in tankless in and out connections to assure adequate clearance of

piping.

CAUTION

Use of hard water with a tankless coil will, over a short period of time, reduce the output of the coil and reduce the useful life of the coil.

SeCtiOn V: Venting & Air intAke piping

A. Chimney Venting

1. Chimney venting is an important part of a safe

and efcient oil red appliance system. Contact your local re and building ofcials on specic requirements for restrictions and the installation of fuel oil burning equipment. In addition, consult with a professional knowledgeable on

the requirements of NFPA 31 – Standard for the

Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment and NFPA 211 - Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances for installations in

the United States

2. The safe venting of oil red boilers is dependent on many factors. Some of these factors include:

a. sufcient draft during the entire heating season

to allow for the safe discharge of combustion byproducts and;

b. suitable corrosion protection in the event of

condensing ue gases. Only a trained and qualied contractor may install this product.

3. The MegaSteam™ can be vented into a reclay tile-lined masonry chimney that meets requirements outlined in Paragraph 4 below. It can also be vented into a chimney constructed from type L vent or a factory built chimney that complies with the type HT requirements of UL 103. The chimney and vent pipe shall have a sufcient draft at all times, to assure safe proper operation of the boiler. See Figure 14 for recommended installation.

WARNING

Do not de-rate the appliance. Failure to re the

unit at it's designed input may cause excessive condensation upon the interior walls of the chimney. In addition, the lower input may not create enough draft to adequately evacuate the by-products of combustion.

a. Loose Mortar – Loose mortar could be an

indication of a prior history of condensing ue gases upon the inside walls of the chimney. Colder climates are more susceptible to this condition. Under no circumstances shall a chimney of this condition be used until it meets

the requirements of NFPA 211.

b. Unlined Chimney – Under no circumstances

shall a chimney constructed of brick only be used. Only approved clay liners or listed chimney lining systems shall be used as specied

in NFPA 31.

c. Abandoned Openings – Openings through the

chimney wall that are no longer used shall be sealed in accordance to NFPA 211. Often abandoned openings are improperly sealed and usually covered by a gypsum wall covering.

d. Clean Chimney – Chimney shall be free of all

loose debris.

5. Draft Regulator – the draft regulator supplied with the boiler must be used with this appliance. No other draft regulator shall be used. Refer to Figures 14 and 15.

B. Chimney COnneCtOr

1. A chimney connector (vent pipe) is used to connect the boiler to the base of the chimney. The chimney connector should be kept as short as possible. The horizontal length of the chimney connector shall not be greater than 10 feet.

NOTE: Secure chimney connector to cast iron

smokebox collar with three (3) #10 x ½" self drilling hex head TEK screws provided in appropriate Parts Carton. Locate screws around perimeter of connector as shown in Figure 14 and approximately ½" in from edge. Use drill with 5/16" hex bit to drive screws through connector and smokebox collar.

4. Chimney Inspection – Prior to the installation of

any new or replacement fuel burning equipment the chimney shall be inspected by a qualied installer. The chimney shall be inspected for integrity as well as for proper draft and condensate control. Some jurisdictions require the use of a liner when changing fuel types. Some jurisdictions require the use of a liner even when the same fuel is used. At a minimum, the chimney shall be examined by a qualied person in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 11 of NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid FuelBurning Appliances.

DANGER

The chimney and connector shall be inspected annually for signs of debris and corrosion. Loose mortar at the base of the chimney may be a sign of condensate damage to the chimney. A chimney professional shall be contacted immediately to examine the damage and recommend a solution. Long term operation while in this condition may cause a venting

failure and force ue gases into the living

space. If the chimney is to be relined use the recommendations in NFPA 31, Appendix E.

Figure 14: Recommended Vent Pipe Arrangement and Chimney Requirements

Figure 15: Proper and Improper Locations of Draft Regulator

2. Type B Chimney Connector - a type B chimney

connector can be used to transmit the ue gases provided ue gas temperature entering the chimney

connector is greater than 310°F.

3. Type L Chimney Connector - a type L vent or

other suitable material shall be used for a chimney

connector if the temperature or exiting temperature is less than 310°F.

2. NFPA 31 has information to help the installer make an appropriate choice of venting materials.

In some cases a chimney may have to be lined to create sufcient draft. In other cases, the chimney may have to be lined to prevent the corrosion

of a masonry chimney. Consult with a chimney

specialist knowledgeable on the requirements for

chimney requirements in your area.

DANGER

Any signs of condensate seepage at the base of the chimney shall be inspected immediately. The discoloration may be a sign of chimney damage and must be remedied immediately.

C. DRAFT

1. The natural draft generated through a chimney is dependent on several factors including, chimney

height, temperature of ue gases, cross section area

of chimney, chimney wall insulation value, dilution

air and total volume of ue gases, to name a few. Make sure that the boiler has been running for at least 5 minutes before measuring the draft.

2. Minimum Draft at Breech (Canopy) – The draft

induced by a chimney must create at least a pressure of 0 (zero) inches water column (“ w.c.)

at the pressure tapping on the canopy mounted

on rear of boiler (see Figure 16). The pressure at the canopy cannot be positive since this could create a condition that allows ue gas by-products

to escape from the draft regulator. A negative pressure reading up to -.03 inches water column

is acceptable for proper operation. (See Table 8, Burner Specications at the rear of this manual for

more details)

3. Minimum Overre Pressure – The overre

pressure is another piece of information that is

often measured, however this should be done for observation purposes only! The breech pressure must be used to qualify the draft condition. See Table 8 for more details as a guide. Actual draft and temperature measurements may be different then those values in the table.

D. STACK TEMPERATURE

1. The temperature of the ue gases has a signicant

effect on the amount of draft created in a vertical chimney as well as the propensity to create condensate. The higher the stack temperature, the

greater the amount of draft that can be generated. A

lower stack temperature not only reduces the amount

of draft that can be created but it also increases the possibility that the ue gases could condense in the

chimney connector or stack.

CAUTION

Any doubt on the condition of a chimney or it's ability to prevent the generation and

accumulation of ue gas condensate, must be

relined according to NFPA31.

CAUTION

Use the chimney venting tables as a guide. It is highly recommended that any borderline application should result in the relining of the

chimney with a suitable liner that creates sufcient

draft and to protect against corrosion caused by

ue gas condensate.

3. Bafes – The efciency of the boiler is based on the insertion of ue bafes supplied with your product. Under no circumstances are other bafes to be used on this product. The bafes are installed in the 2nd pass (two inner ueways) on the MST396, MST513

and MST629 Refer to Section II, Item E, Paragraph

1 for bafe installation. If there is any doubt on the application of this boiler on the intended chimney, consult with your local code ofcials. At a minimum, remove the bafes to increase the stack temperature. See Table 8 for temperature

differential (∆T) with bafes IN and OUT. In addition, the lower the CO2 level the higher the stack temperature.

SECTION VI: ELECTRICAL

DANGER

Positively assure all electrical connections are unpowered before attempting installation or service of electrical components or connections of the boiler or building. Lock out all electrical boxes with padlock once power is turned off.

WARNING

Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm. Electrical power may be from more than one source. Make sure all power is off before attempting any

electrical work. Each boiler must be protected with a properly sized fused disconnect. Never jump out or make inoperative any safety or operating controls.

A. GENERAL

1. Install wiring and electrically ground boiler in

accordance with requirements of the authority

having jurisdiction, or in absence of such

requirements the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70.

2. Refer to National Electric Code or Local Electric

Codes for proper size and type of wire required.

Follow Code.

3. A separate electrical circuit must be run from

the main electrical service with an over-current device/disconnect in the circuit. A service switch is

recommended and may be required by some local

jurisdictions.

4. Use anti-short bushings on all wiring passing through boiler jacket, junction boxes and/or control boxes.

5. Use armored cable (BX) over all exposed line

voltage wiring.

6. If an Alliance™ indirect water heater is used, use

priority zoning. Do not use priority zoning for

Hydro-Air Systems.

7. Wiring should conform to Figure 18.

B. INSTALL A ROOM THERMOSTAT on an

inside wall about four feet above oor. Never install thermostat on an outside wall or where it will be inuenced by drafts, hot or cold water pipes, lighting xtures, television, rays of the sun or near a replace.

Keep large furniture away from thermostat so there will

be free movement of room air around this control.

Heat Anticipator in Thermostat should be set to match

the requirements of the control to which it is connected. See Figure 20 for desired system and heat anticipator

setting. If system tends to overheat above the thermostat's temperature setting, reduce heat anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps. If system tends to short cycle

BOILER SEQUENCE OF OPERATION WITH PROBE LWCO (See Figure 18)

When the thermostat calls for heat, it energizes the R8285C Control Center relay which in turn energizes the cad cell

primary control, bringing on the burner. The burner will operate in the following sequence: Prepurge for the rst 10 seconds; re until the thermostat is satised or the limit setting on the high limit is reached; post-purge for the last 10

seconds. When the pressure limit control restores the circuit on a drop in pressure, the burner will start if the thermostat is still calling for heat.

The probe low water cut-off will shut down the burner after a 10-15 second delay, if the water level in the boiler drops below the probe level.

The Hydrolevel CG450 low water cut-off will shut down the burner for 90 seconds every 10 minutes of ring time to

allow water level to stabilize. If the water level is too low the burner will not be allowed to restart. The probe low water cut-off will reset and restart the burner with a call for heat a few seconds after the water is re-

turned to its normal level.

On burner start, if the cad cell does not see ame within approximately 15 seconds, primary control will shut burner

down and enter into a recycle mode, after 60 seconds burner will restart and repeat trial for ignition. If after three

(3) trials for ignition, ame is not detected, control will enter into restricted mode and must be reset manually before

burner can be restarted. When there is no demand for heat, the operating control will maintain the boiler water temperature at the selected

setting for proper operation of the domestic water heater, if equipped with optional tankless heater.

ting for proper operation of the domestic water heater, if equipped with optional tankless heater.

SECTION VII: OIL PIPING

A. GENERAL

1. Use exible oil line(s) so the burner swing door can be opened without disconnecting the oil supply

piping.

2. A supply line fuel oil lter is recommended as a minimum for all ring rates but a pleated paper fuel oil lter is recommended for the ring rates below

1.0 gph to prevent nozzle fouling.

3. Use Flared ttings only. Cast iron ttings cannot be

used.

NOTICE

Do not use compression ttings.

Oil piping must be absolutely airtight or leaks or loss of prime may result. Bleed line and fuel unit completely.

Refer to your local jurisdictions regarding any special considerations for fuel supply

requirements. In addition, refer to NFPA 31,

Standard for the installation of Oil-Burning

Equipment.

4. Use of a high efciency micron lter (Garber or equivalent) in addition to a conventional lter is

highly recommended.

5. Piping used to connect the oil burner to the oil supply tank shall not be smaller than 3/8" iron pipe or 3/8" OD copper tubing. Copper tubing shall have

a .032" minimum wall thickness.

WARNING

Under no circumstances can copper with sweat style connectors be used.

NOTICE

Some jurisdictions require the use of a fusible

shutoff valve at the tank and/or the burner. In

addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a

fusible electrical interlock with the burner circuit.

Check your local Codes for special requirements.

B. SINGLE PIPE OIL LINES

1. Standard burners are provided with single-stage 3450 rpm fuel units with the bypass plug removed

for single-pipe installations.

2. The single-stage fuel unit may be installed single-

pipe with gravity feed or lift. Maximum allowable lift is 8 feet. See Figure 21.

3. Fuel Oil Line Deaerator – On many occasions a leaky oil delivery line can introduce air into the fuel oil supply system. This often creates a rough

starting condition and can create a burner lockout state. In addition to xing the leak, a fuel line deaerator can be installed to eliminate air. The

single line from the fuel tank is connected to the

deaerator. The burner pump must be connected

to the deaerator as a two pipe system. Follow the

oil pump manufacturer’s recommendations for

conversion to a two pipe system.

Figure 21: Single Pipe Oil Line

C. TWO PIPE OIL LINES

1. For two piped systems, where more lift is required,

the two-stage fuel unit is recommended. Table 5 (two-stage) and Table 6 (single-stage) show allowable lift and lengths of 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch OD tubing for both suction and return lines. Refer

to Figure 22.

2. Follow the oil pump manufacturer’s recommenda-

tions on the proper connections for a two pipe system. Some manufacturers require the insertion

of a bypass plug.

SECTION VIII: SYSTEM START-UP

WARNING

All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which can cause severe property damage,

personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to

prevent accidental ring of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door fastener

completely when service is completed.

A. ALWAYS INSPECT INSTALLATION

BEFORE STARTING BURNER.

1. Verify that the venting, water piping, oil piping, and electrical system are installed properly. Refer to Installation Instructions contained in this manual.

2. Conrm all electrical, water and oil supplies are

turned off at the source and that the vent is clear

from obstructions.

WARNING

Completely read, understand and follow all instructions in this manual before attempting start up.

B. FILL HEATING SYSTEM WITH WATER.

NOTICE

It is important, especially in a steam system, to properly remove the oil and dirt from the system. Failure to clean the system can result in erratic water lines and surging.

CLEAN HEATING SYSTEM if boiler water or

condensate return water is dirty or if erratic water lines

or surging exist after a few days of boiler operation.

Refer to Maintenance and Service Instructions Section

of this manual for proper cleaning instructions for

steam and water boilers.

1. STEAM BOILERS — Fill boiler to normal water

line. Refer to Figure No. 1.

WARNING

The maximum operating pressure of this boiler is posted on the ASME Data Label located on the top of the boiler. Never exceed this pressure. Do not plug relief valve.

C. CHECK CONTROLS, WIRING AND

BURNER to be sure that all connections are tight and

burner is rigid, that all electrical connections have been completed and fuses installed, and that oil tank is lled and oil lines have been tested.

D. SET CONTROLS with burner service switch turned

“OFF”.

1. SET ROOM THERMOSTAT about 10° above

room temperature.

2. PRESS RED RESET BUTTON on front of

burner cover, hold for one (1) second and release to

reset primary control.

3. On STEAM BOILERS:

a. With an L404F1367 - set cut-out pressure

(MAIN scale) on the pressure limit for (1) PSI and differential pressure (DIFF.) for .5 PSI.

These pressures may be varied to suit individual

requirements of the system.

4. On STEAM BOILERS WITH TANKLESS

DOMESTIC WATER HEATERS, set boiler

water temperature dial on L4006 operating control at 190°F (max.). Set differential at 10°.

E. ADJUST OIL BURNER BEFORE

STARTING.

1. CHECK BURNER AIR BAND, AIR SHUTTER

AND HEAD SETTING (if applicable), readjust if necessary, see Table 8 at rear of manual.

2. OPEN ALL OIL LINE VALVES.

3. Attach a plastic hose to fuel pump vent tting and

provide a pan to catch the oil.

4. OPEN FLAME OBSERVATION PORT COVER

on burner swing door.

F. START OIL BURNER.

1. Open vent tting on fuel pump.

2. PRESS RED RESET BUTTON on front of burner

cover, hold for one (1) second and release to reset primary control.

3. TURN ‘ON’ BURNER service switch and allow burner to run until oil ows from vent tting in a SOLID stream without air bubbles for

approximately 10 seconds.

NOTE: For Primary Control "Pump Priming

Cycle" details, see Paragraph I, No. 2., Step a., Item ii .

4. Close vent tting and burner ame should start

immediately after prepurge is completed. Prepurge

prevents burner ame until 15 seconds has elapsed after initial power is applied to burner. During prepurge the motor and igniter will operate but the

oil valve will remain closed. Refer to Oil Primary Control Instructions for more details.

5. Adjust oil pressure.

a. When checking a fuel unit's operating pressure, a

reliable pressure gauge may be installed in either the bleeder port or the nozzle port. See Figure

23.

b. Locate oil pressure adjusting screw and turn

screw to obtain proper pump pressure, refer to Table 8 at rear of manual.

c. To check the cut-off pressure, deadhead a reliable

pressure gauge onto the copper connector tube attached to the nozzle port. Run the burner for a short period of time. Shut the burner off. The

pressure should drop and hold.

d. Remove the gauge and install bleeder port and/or

reconnect the nozzle port line.

See Table 8 (at rear of this manual) for details

regarding the overre pressure when bafes are both

installed and removed.

3. READJUST THE HEAD SETTING only if necessary.

a. MST288 & MST396: Beckett MB(L1) Head burner has a xed head

which is non-adjustable.

b. MST513 & MST629: Beckett MD(V1) (variable) Head burners have

the ability to control air by moving the head. It might be necessary to move the head forward or back one position at a time to optimize the

smoke and CO2 readings. See Figure 24.

4. TURN “OFF” BURNER and remove pressure

gauge. Install gauge port/bleeder plug and tighten. Start burner again.

WARNING

Do not loosen or remove any oil line ttings while

burner is operating.

5. FLAME FAILURE

The MegaSteam™ boiler controls operate the burner

automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner ceases to re and the reset button on the primary control has tripped, the burner has experienced

ignition failure.

Figure 23: Adjusting Fuel Pump Pressure

G. ADJUST OIL BURNER WHILE

OPERATING. (ame present)

1. ADJUST DRAFT REGULATOR for a draft of

zero inches (water gauge) in the canopy (see Figure

18) after chimney has reached operating temperature

and while burner is running. (At least ve minutes)

See Table 8 at rear of manual for details.

2. READJUST THE AIR BAND on burner for a light orange colored ame while the draft in the canopy is zero inches water column ("w.c.). Use a

smoke tester and adjust air for minimum smoke (not to exceed #1) with a minimum of excess air. Make

nal check using suitable instrumentation to obtain

a CO2 of 11.5 to 12.5% with draft of zero inches water column ("w.c.) (water gauge) in canopy.

These settings will assure a safe and efcient operating condition. If the ame appears stringy instead of a solid re, try another nozzle of the same type. Flame should be solid and compact. After all adjustments are made recheck for a draft of zero

inches water column ("w.c.) in the canopy. Replace plug at completion.

WARNING

Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil has accumulated, when the unit is full of vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very hot.

H. CHECK FOR CLEAN CUT OFF OF

BURNER.

1. AIR IN THE OIL LINE between fuel unit and nozzle will compress when burner is on and will expand when burner stops, causing oil to squirt from nozzle at low pressure as the burner slows down and causing nozzle to drip after burner stops. Usually, cycling the burner operation about 5 to 10 times will

eliminate air from the oil line.

2. IF NOZZLE CONTINUES TO DRIP, repeat Paragraph H, No. 1. If this does not stop the dripping, remove cut-off valve and seat, and wipe

both with a clean cloth until clean, then replace and readjust oil pressure. If dripping or after burn

persist replace fuel pump.

I. TEST CONTROLS.

1. Check thermostat operation. Raise and lower thermostat setting as required to start and stop

burner.

Figure 24: "L1" and "V1" Head Electrode Positioning and Gun Setting (Beckett AFG)

WARNING

Before installation of the boiler is considered complete, the operation of all boiler controls must be checked, particularly the primary control and pressure limit control.

2. VERIFY PRIMARY CONTROL FEATURES using procedures outlined in Instructions furnished

with control or instructions as follows:

a. FEATURES AND CONTROLS

i. The R7184 is a microprocessor-based

control. The indicator light provides diagnostic information for lockout, recycling and patented cad cell status. There is a

manual reset button to exit the Lockout

Mode and enter the Idle Mode (see Figure

25).

vi. Diagnostic LED: The indicator light on oil

primary control provides lockout, recycle

and cad cell indications as follows:

• Flashing at 1 Hz (½ second on, ½ second

off): system is locked out or in Restricted

Mode.

• Flashing at ¼ Hz (2 seconds on, 2 seconds

off): control is in Recycle Mode.

• On: cad cell is sensing ame.

• Off: cad cell is not sensing ame.

vii.

Cad Cell Resistance Check: For proper operation it is important that the cad cell

resistance is below 1600 ohms. During a

normal call for heat, once the control has entered the Run Mode, press and release the

reset button. Indicator light will ash 1 to 4 ashes. See Table 7 for equivalent cad cell

resistance.

TABLE 7: CAD CELL RESISTANCE WHEN

SENSING FLAME

Flashes Cad Cell Resistance in ohms

1 Less than 400 2 More than 400 and less than 800 3 More than 800 and less than 1600 4 More than 1600 and less than 5000

Figure 25: R7184 Terminals, LED and Reset Button

ii. Pump Priming Cycle: To facilitate purging

air from the oil lines and lters, the R7184 can be placed in a purge routine by pressing and releasing the reset button during the

safety check, delayed valve-on, ignition or carry-over periods.

iii. Limited Recycle: This feature limits the

number of recycle trials (for each call

for heat) to a maximum of three trials. If

the ame is lost three times and does not

successfully satisfy a call for heat, the R7184 locks out.

iv. Limited Reset (Restricted Mode): In order

to limit the accumulation of unburned oil in the combustion area, the control can only be

reset three times. The reset count returns to

zero each time a call for heat is successfully

completed.

• To reset from Restricted Mode: Press and

hold the reset button for 30 seconds. When the LED ashes twice, the device

has reset.

v. T-T Jumper: Select models have pre-

installed T-T jumper. Do not remove jumper. See Figure 25.

b. CHECK OIL PRIMARY CONTROL

CAUTION

Due to the potential hazard of line voltage, only a trained, experienced service technician should perform the following safety checks.

This control contains no field-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to take it apart. Replace entire control if operation is not as described.

Preliminary Steps

• Check wiring connections and power

supply.

• Make sure power is on to the controls.

• Make sure limit control is closed.

• Check contacts between ignitor and the

electrodes.

• Check the oil pump pressure.

• Check the piping to the oil tank.

• Check the oil nozzle, oil supply and oil

lter.

ii. Check Safety Features

Safe Start:

• Place a jumper across cad cell terminals.

• Follow procedure to turn on burner.

Burner must not start, indicator light turns on and control remains in Idle Mode.

• Remove jumper.

iii. Simulate Ignition or Flame Failure:

• Follow procedure to turn on burner.

• Close hand valve in oil supply line.

• Failure occurs, device enters Recycle

Mode. Indicator light ashes at ¼ Hz rate

2 seconds on, 2 seconds off).

• Device tries to restart system after

approximately 60 seconds.

• After third Recycle Mode trial, safety

switch locks out within safety switch

timing indicated on label and control

enters Restricted Mode. Indicator light

ashes at 1 Hz rate (½ second on, ½

second off). Ignition and motor stop and oil valves closes.

iv. Cad Cell Check: See Figure 26.

• If safety switch shuts down burner and

resistance is above 1600 OHMS, open line switch to boiler. Access cad cell under

ignitor, clean face of cad cell and see that cell is securely in socket. Check gasket around perimeter of ignitor lid for proper seal. If gasket is missing or damaged, replace gasket. Room light can effect cad cell resistance. Reset safety switch.

• Close line switch to boiler. If burner starts

and runs beyond safety switch cut-off

time, cell is good. If not, install new cell.

v. Power Failure Check: After Flame is

established, turn the power off to the control/ burner. The burner should shut down safely.

When power is restored a normal ignition

sequence should be started.

3. WARNING — Check Pressure Limit Control

— Jumper Thermostat Terminals. Allow burner to operate until shut-down by limit. Installation is not considered complete until this check has been made.

WARNING

Figure 26: Cad Cell Location

• Perform cad cell resistance check as

outlined in control feature. If resistance is

below 1600 OHMS and burner runs

beyond safety cut-out time, cad cell is

good.

Jumper must be removed after this check.

4. Check low water cut off control with water level at normal water line (see Figure 1). Raise thermostat

setting to allow burner to operate. Open boiler drain to allow water level to drop to bottom of sight glass until burner operation is shut-down by low water

cut-off.

Close boiler drain and rell to normal water line.

Burner should automatically restart during ll.

Lower thermostat setting.

5. Check operating control on boiler equipped with tankless heaters. With burner off, draw hot water until burner starts, then turn off hot water and check burner shut-down.

J. IF CONTROLS DO NOT MEET

REQUIREMENTS outlined in Paragraph I.,

replace control and repeat checkout procedures.

probe.

DANGER

Assure that the boiler is at zero pressure before removing the LWCO probe. Do not rely on the pressure gauge to indicate that the boiler is at zero pressure. Open the safety valve to relieve all internal pressure prior to proceeding. Safety valve discharge piping must be piped such that the potential for burns is eliminated.

e. Unscrew the probe from the boiler tapping. f. Inspect that portion of the probe that is exposed

to the boiler water for a scale or sediment buildup.

g. Light deposits may be removed by wiping the

probe with a damp cloth. Wiping the probe with

a cloth soaked in vinegar will remove more

tenacious lime deposits. The most stubborn deposits may be removed from the probe by

using a diluted amount, 3 parts of water to 1 part of phosphoric acid (H2PO4).

CAUTION

Exercise caution when handling phosphoric acid and follow the instruction label on its container.

h. Clean the pipe threads of the probe to remove

old, hardened pipe dope and other foreign matter.

i. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe

dope to the pipe threads on the probe, leaving the two end threads bare. Do not use PTFE (Teon)

tape.

j. Screw the probe into the boiler tapping.

k. Mount the low water cut-off control on the

probe. l. Reconnect the control to probe wiring. m. Fill the boiler to its normal waterline. n. Add boiler water treatment compound as needed

(refer to Paragraph B.).

o. Restore electric service to the boiler. p. Fire burner to bring the water in the boiler to a

boil to drive off free oxygen.

q. WARNING — BEFORE RETURNING

BOILER TO SERVICE: Follow the low water

cut-off check out procedure in Section VIII,

Paragraph I, No. 4.

2. FLOAT TYPE LOW WATER CUT-OFF During the heating season, if an external low water

cut-off is on the boiler, the blow off valve should be opened once a month (use greater frequency where conditions warrant), to ush out the sediment chamber so the device will be free to function

properly.

Low water cut-offs and water feeders should

be dismantled annually by qualied personnel,

to the extent necessary to insure freedom from

obstructions and proper functioning of the working parts. Inspect connecting lines to boiler

for accumulation of mud, scale, etc., and clean as

required. Examine all visible wiring for brittle or

worn insulation and make sure electrical contacts are clean and that they function properly. Give

special attention to solder joints on bellows and oat when this type of control is used. Check oat for evidence of collapse and check mercury bulb (where applicable) for mercury separation or discoloration.

Do not attempt to repair mechanisms in the eld.

Complete replacement mechanisms, including necessary gaskets and installation instructions are

available from the manufacturer.

B. BOILER AND SYSTEM CLEANING

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TROUBLE FREE OPERATION

1. STEAM BOILERS

a. Oil, greases & sediments which accumulate in a

new boiler and piping must be removed in order

to prevent an unsteady water line and carry over

of the water into the supply main above boiler.

Operate the boiler with steam in the entire

system for a few days allowing the condensate

to return to the boiler. If the condensate can temporarily be wasted, operate boiler only for

the length of time it takes for condensate to run

clear. If the latter cannot be achieved or if the condensate is returned to the boiler, boil out the boiler using the SURFACE BLOW-OFF

connection, see Figure 7.

i. Drain boiler until 1” of water is visible in

gauge glass. Run temporary 1½” NPT pipe

line from the surface blow-off connection to

an open drain or some other location where

hot water may be discharged safely. Do not

install valve in this line.

ii. Drain about 5 gallons of hot water from

boiler into a container and dissolve into it an appropriate amount of recommended boil out compound. Remove safety valve & add solution to boiler water thru exposed tapping

using a funnel.

NOTICE

Check with local authorities or consult local water treatment services for acceptable chemical cleaning compounds.

iii. Start burner and operate sufciently to boil

the water without producing steam pressure.

Boil for about 5 hours. Open boiler feed pipe sufciently to permit a steady trickle of water from the surface blow-off pipe. Continue this slow boiling and trickle of overow for several hours until the water coming from the overow is clear.

iv. Stop burner and drain boiler in a manner

and to a location that hot water can be

discharged with safety.

v. Rell boiler to normal water line. If water

in gauge glass does not appear to be clear, repeat steps (i. thru iii.) and boil out the boiler for a longer time.

b. Low pressure steam boilers such as the

MegaSteam™, should be maintained with

appropriate water treatment compounds.

Add suitable water treatment compounds as recommended by your qualied water treatment

company.

c. Remove temporary surface blow-off piping, plug

tapping and reinstall safety valve. Boil or bring

water temperature to 180°F promptly in order to drive off the dissolved gases in the fresh water.

d. If unsteady water line, foaming or priming

persist, install gate valve in Hartford Loop and

drain valves in return main and at boiler as shown in Figure 11 and proceed as follows: i Connect hoses from drain valves to oor

drain. Close gate valve in Hartford Loop and

open drain valve in return main. Fill boiler

to normal water level, turn on oil burner and

operate boiler at this water level for at least

30 minutes after the condensate begins to

run hot, then turn off burner.

Close all radiator valves. Remove all supply

main air valves and plug the openings in

supply main.

ii. Draw about 5 gallons of hot water from

boiler into a container and dissolve into it

the appropriate amount of a recommended

boilout compound. Remove safety valve

from boiler and pour this solution into

boiler, then reinstall safety valve.

iii. Turn on oil burner and keep operating while

feeding water to boiler slowly. This will

raise water level in boiler slowly so that

water will be boiling hot and will rise slowly

into supply main and back through return

main, owing from drain hose at about

180°F. Continue until water runs clear from

drain hose for at least 30 minutes.

iv. Stop feeding water to boiler but continue

operating oil burner until excess water in

boiler ows out through supply main and

water lowers (by steaming) until it reaches

normal level in boiler. Turn off oil burner.

Drain boiler. Open all radiator valves.

Reinstall all supply main air valves. Open

gate valve in Hartford Loop.

v. When boiler has cooled down sufciently

(crown sheet of sections are not too hot to

touch), close the drain valves at boiler and

in return main and feed water slowly up to

normal level in boiler. Turn on oil burner

and allow boiler to steam for 10 minutes,

then turn off burner. Draw off one quart of

water from bottom gauge glass tting and

discard. Draw off another quart sample and

if this sample is not clear, repeat the cycle

of draining the boiler and return main and

relling the boiler until sample is clear.

vi. If the boiler water becomes dirty again

at a later date due to additional sediment

loosened up in the piping, close gate valve

in Hartford Loop, open drain valve in

return main, turn on oil burner and allow

Condensate to ow to drain until it has run

clear for at least 30 minutes while feeding

water to boiler so as to maintain normal

water level. Turn off oil burner, drain boiler,

open gate valve in Hartford Loop, then

repeat Step 1 above.

e. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.

After boiler and system have been cleaned and

relled as previously described, test the pH of the water in the system. This can easily be done

by drawing a small sample of boiler water and

testing with hydrion paper which is used in the same manner as litmus paper, except it gives

specic readings. A color chart on the side of

the small hydrion dispenser gives the reading in

pH. Hydrion paper is inexpensive and obtainable

from any chemical supply house or through your

local druggist. The pH should be higher than 7, but lower than 11. Add some of the washout chemical (caustic soda), if necessary, to bring the pH within the specied range.

f. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.

C. EXCESSIVE MAKE-UP WATER

IMPORTANT

IF, DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT IS NECESSARY TO ADD MORE WATER THAN INDICATED BELOW, CONSULT A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO CHECK YOUR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS.

EXCESSIVE WATER ADDITION:

(Gallons / Month)

MST288: 6 MST513: 9½ MST629: 11

A leaky system will increase the volume of make-up

water supplied to the boiler, which can signicantly shorten the life of the boiler. Entrained in make-up

water are dissolved minerals, salts and oxygen. When

the fresh, cool make-up water is heated in the boiler, the

minerals fall out as sediment, the salts coat the inside

of the boiler, and the oxygen escapes as a gas. The

accumulation of sediment eventually isolates the water from contacting the cast iron. When this happens the cast iron in that area gets extremely hot and eventually cracks. The presence of free oxygen or chloride salts

in the boiler corrodes the cast iron from the inside.

MST396: 8

More make-up water and higher concentrations of

contaminants damage the boiler sooner. Our warranty does not cover oxygen corrosion and sedimentrelated damage. Clearly it is in everyone’s best

interest to prevent this type of failure. You can do your

part by ensuring that your system is leak-free.

ATTENTION TO BOILER WHILE NOT IN

OPERATION.

NOTICE

If boiler is not used during winter time, it must be fully drained to prevent freeze damage.

1. Spray inside surfaces with light lubricating or

crankcase oil using gun with extended stem so as to reach all corners.

2. With steam boilers, at end of season add sufcient water to ll boiler to top of water column and leave it that way until fall when water should be drained again to proper level. If at this time boiler water is dirty, drain water, ush out boiler, and rell with clean water to prescribed water level.

3. Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off

if the burner is shut down for an extended period of

time.

4. To recondition the heating system in the fall season after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions outlined in Section VIII, Paragraphs A through J.

WARNING

This boiler contains controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not restart without service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent damage if the boiler is inoperative.

SECTION X: BOILER CLEANING

WARNING

All boiler cleaning must be completed with burner service switch turned off. Boilers equipped with burner

swing door have a potential hazard which can cause severe property damage, personal injury or loss of life

if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to prevent accidental ring of burner

outside the combustion chamber. Disconnect the burner plug from the receptacle in the front jacket. Be sure to tighten swing door fastener completely when service is completed.

A. CLEAN THE FLUEWAYS (See Figure 27).

1. For access to the combustion chamber remove the

two (2) 3/8" - 16 cap screws. If boiler is equipped with exible fuel line(s), swing door open.

2. Remove the two smoke box clean-out covers from the rear smoke box by removing the four 5/16"-18 hex head bolts. It is NOT necessary to remove the vent connector from the smoke box to clean boiler.

If necessary, remove the vent connector if there is

evidence of heavy soot accumulation in the boiler or to inspect base of chimney for condensate or accumulation of debris.

3. Remove the bafes (if installed) from the ue passages. There is a pair of bafes in each boiler. The bafes are installed in the 2nd pass (two inner ue ways) on the MST396, MST513 and MST629.

4. Clean the 3rd Pass – Insert a 2" dia. x 42" long

wire or ber bristle brush into each of the two 3rd passes. Using long strokes push the brush all the way through the boiler until the brush has exited the smoke box opening. Pull the brush all the way forward until it has exited the front of the boiler.

Continue this operation for the entire height of the

ue way until clean. Repeat the operation for the

other 3rd pass ue way.

5. Clean the 2nd Pass - Insert a 2" dia. x 42" long wire

or ber bristle brush into each of the two 2nd passes. Using long strokes push the brush all the way through the boiler until the brush hits the back wall of the reversing chamber. Pull the brush all the way forward until it has exited the front of the boiler.

Continue this operation for the entire height of the

ue way until clean. Repeat the operation for the

other 2nd pass ue way.

6. Vacuum the loose debris in the bottom of the combustion chamber and smoke box.

B. CLEAN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER

– Use a wire or ber bristle brush to clean the surfaces of the combustion chamber. Vacuum all of the loose debris in the bottom of the combustion chamber.

C. AFTER CLEANING, vacuum all remaining debris

as necessary. Inspect burner swing door insulation, and

rope gasket for signs of damage. If damaged, replace as needed.

D. REASSEMBLE BOILER.

CAUTION

Do not start the burner unless the burner swing door and canopy cover plates are secured in place.

1 Insert the bafes (if originally installed) into the

correct ue way. The bafes are installed in the 2nd pass (two inner ue ways) on the MST396, MST513

and MST629.

2. Attach the smoke box clean-out covers onto the rear of the boiler. Verify that the rope gasket is in good working order before assembly. Replace

rope gasket if necessary. Use the 3/8" hardware originally removed. Do not over tighten. They

should be snug but not bottomed out.

NOTICE

When securing burner swing door make sure door

is drawn-in equally on both sides.

Tighten swing door hardware to provide adequate

seal to rope gasket around perimeter of door.

Use an alternating tightening method from right side

to left side cap screw to pull door tight equally.

NOTICE

Do not overtighten. The rope gasket will provide

sufcient seal when the door is snugged into

place.

Figure 27: Cleaning Boiler Flueways and Combustion Chamber Surfaces

WARNING

The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property damage could

result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of the chimney ue must be

inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout

the heating season for any obstructions. A clean and unobstructed chimney ue is necessary to allow noxious

fumes that could cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler's

efciency.

SECTION XI: TROUBLE SHOOTING

A. COMBUSTION

1. NOZZLES — Although the nozzle is a relatively

inexpensive device, its function is critical to the

successful operation of the oil burner. The selection of the nozzle supplied with the MegaSteam™ boiler is the result of extensive testing to obtain the best ame shape and efcient combustion. Other brands of the same spray angle and spray pattern may be used but may not perform at the expected level of

CO2 and smoke. Nozzles are delicate and should be

protected from dirt and abuse. Nozzles are mass-

produced and can vary from sample to sample. For

all of those reasons a spare nozzle is a desirable item

for a serviceman to have.

2. FLAME SHAPE — Looking into the combustion chamber through the observation port, the ame

should appear straight with no sparklers rolling up

toward the crown of the chamber. If the ame drags

to the right or left, sends sparklers upward or makes

wet spots on the chamber walls, the nozzle should be replaced. If the condition persists look for fuel leaks, air leaks, water or dirt in the fuel as described above.

3. FUEL LEAKS — Any fuel leak between the pump and the nozzle will be detrimental to good combustion results. Look for wet surfaces in the air tube, under the ignitor, and around the air inlet. Any such leaks should be repaired as they may cause erratic burning of the fuel and in the extreme case may become a re hazard.

4. AIR LEAKS — Any such leaks should be repaired, as they may cause erratic burning of the fuel and in extreme cases may become a re hazard.

5. GASKET LEAKS — If 11.5 to 12.5% CO2 with a

#1 smoke cannot be obtained in the breeching, look for air leaks around the burner mounting gasket, observation door, and canopy gasket. Such air leaks

will cause a lower CO2 reading in the breeching. The

smaller the ring rate the greater effect an air leak

can have on CO2 readings.

6. DIRT — A fuel lter is a good investment.

Accidental accumulation of dirt in the fuel system

can clog the nozzle or nozzle strainer and produce a poor spray pattern from the nozzle. The smaller the ring rate, the smaller the slots become in the nozzle and the more prone to plugging it becomes with the

same amount of dirt.

7. WATER — Water in the fuel in large amounts will stall the fuel pump. Water in the fuel in smaller amounts will cause excessive wear on the pump,

but more importantly water doesn’t burn. It chills the ame and causes smoke and unburned fuel to pass out of the combustion chamber and clog the ueways of the boiler.

8. COLD OIL — If the oil temperature approaching

the fuel pump is 40°F or lower, poor combustion or

delayed ignition may result. Cold oil is harder to

atomize at the nozzle. Thus, the spray droplets get larger and the ame shape gets longer. An outside fuel tank that is above grade or has fuel lines in a shallow bury is a good candidate for cold oil. The best solution is to bury the tank and lines deep enough to keep the oil above 40°F.

9. HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS — Air

openings must be increased at higher altitudes. Use

instruments and set for 11.5 to 12.5% CO2.

10. START-UP NOISE — Late ignition is the cause of start-up noises. If it occurs recheck for electrode

settings, ame shape, air or water in the fuel lines.

11. SHUT DOWN NOISE — If the ame runs out of air before it runs out of fuel, an after burn with noise may occur. That may be the result of a faulty cut-off valve in the fuel pump, or it may be air trapped in the nozzle line. It may take several ring cycles for that air to be fully vented through the nozzle. Water in the fuel or poor ame shape can also cause shut down

noises.

NOTICE

CHECK TEST PROCEDURE. A very good test for isolating fuel side problems is to disconnect the

fuel system and with a 24" length of tubing, re out of an auxiliary ve gallon pail of clean, fresh,

warm #2 oil from another source. If the burner runs successfully when drawing out of the auxiliary pail then the problem is isolated to the fuel or fuel lines being used on the jobsite.

B. OIL PRIMARY CONTROL

1. Burner (control) will not come on. a. No power to control.

b. Control is in lockout or restricted mode. Press

reset button for one (1) second to exit lockout. If

control has recycled three times within the same call for heat, it will enter into restricted mode. To reset from restricted mode, refer to Section VIII, Paragraph I, No. 2 for details.

c. CAD cell seeing light.

d. CAD assembly defective.

e. Control motor relay is stuck closed (see note

below).

2. Burner (control) will light, then shut down after a short time, then restart after one (1) minute.

a. CAD cell is defective.

b. Air leaking into oil line causing ame out. c. Defective nozzle causing ame to be erratic.

d. Excessive airow or draft causing ame to leave

burner head.

e. Excessive back pressure causing ame to be

erratic.

3. Control locks out after Trial For Ignition (TFI).

a. No oil to burner. b. Shorted electrodes. c. Nozzle clogged. d. Airow too high.

e. Ignitor module defective. f. CAD cell defective. g. Oil valve stuck open or closed.

Note: The Safety Monitoring Circuit (SMC) is

designed to provide lockout in the event of a stuck or welded motor relay.

NOTICE

If ame is not established within 15 seconds

of oil valve actuation (known as Trial For Ignition [TFI]) lockout will occur. Lockout is indicated by a red LED solid-on located on the oil primary control.

Latch-up will occur if the control locks-out three (3) times during a call for heat. This is indicated by steady-on red and amber LED's.
