PART 1 GENERAL

INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The DynaMax boiler is a fan assisted boiler based on a push through design which offers several venting options. Heat output is controlled by a one to one air/gas ratio control gas valve which provides seamless modulation. The boiler provides central heating, domestic hot water or combination heating with DHW priority at working pressure up to 160 PSI. It is designed for use with a fully pumped and pressurized water system. The boiler/water heater will automatically modulate to provide heat outputs from 100% down to approximately 20% of rated input.

The DynaMax utilizes a negative pressure gas valve. The operation of the fan will generate a negative pressure in the venturi, which draws in a matching amount of gas through the valve.

During operation the DynaMax maintains steady state efficiency across the entire range of modulation. Air and gas are metered in precise proportion (1:1 Ratio) allowing combustion characteristics which determine efficiency to remain the same over the entire operating range.

The DynaMax is designed so that all of the sensible heating value and most of the latent heat is being transferred to the water.

1.2 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO OWNER

This manual supplies information for the installation, operation and servicing of the appliance. It is strongly recommended that this manual be reviewed completely before proceeding with an installation

CAUTION

It is important that all gas appliances are installed by a qualified installer/technician. It is in your own interest and that of safety to ensure that all local codes, and all the following “NOTES” and “WARNINGS” are complied with. Installing, servicing or adjusting this appliance should be performed only by a qualified installer/technician that is trained by Camus Hydronics. The serviceman must utilize a combustion analyzer with CO2, CO, and draft gauge, to set the appliance according to Camus Hydronics’

recommendation

prior to commission

1.3 CHECKING EQUIPMENT

Check for signs of shipping damage upon receiving equipment. Pay particular attention to parts accompanying the boiler, which may show signs of being hit or otherwise being mishandled. Verify total number of pieces shown on packing slip with those actually received. In case there is damage or a shortage, immediately notify carrier.

1.4 DISPLAY UNIT

The display unit will indicate status and will display selected temperature. Refer to Part 9 DynaMax Control Panel, which provides details to modes and error codes displayed on the appliance.

1.5 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

1) Power switch is placed in the “ON” position.

2) Minimum 120 VAC 60Hz single phase (15A circuit) is supplied to the DynaMax field connection board.

3) 120 VAC power is supplied to the DynaMax Controller which provides all setup and ignition control functions.

4) Access to settings is through the use of a USB A-to-B cable using a laptop computer through the USB port on the DynaMax Control Panel.

5) After the appliance water pump starts, flow is proven by the flow proving device or flow switch. The normally open dry contacts in the low water cutoff (LWCO), if supplied, is to be wired in series with the normally open contacts of the flow proving device.

6) Locate the probe type LWCO in the piping at least 3 feet above the boiler/ inlet connection. In all cases check with local codes.

7) Depending on the selected mode, the appliance operates as a master or slave configuration.

8) The DynaMax Controller initiates a startup sequence once it receives a heat demand.

9) The DynaMax Controller energizes the on-board pump and starts to ramp up the voltage to the electrically commutated DC motor of the combustion fan.

10) The fan will run at pre-purge speed until the pre-purge timer is satisfied. Once this is complete the DynaMax controller provides a signal to modulate down to ignition fan speed.

11) The DynaMax controller goes through internal safety checks and if this is satisfied the ignition sequence begins.

12) The DynaMax Controller supplies voltage to the air/gas ratio control valve. The air/gas ratio control valve senses the pressure across the venturi and supplies gas to pre-mix with air.

13) The igniter will continue to spark for 6 seconds, with the gas valve opened, and the fan running at ignition speed.

14) Spark Igniter lights the air/gas mixture. The DynaMax Controller looks for a minimum flame rectification signal of 1.25 µA DC from the flame sensor. If the signal is present the DynaMax Controller will allow the gas valve to remain open. The burner is now firing at starting input rate.

15) Boiler will modulate to the correct fan speed to meet heat demand. The modulation rate is controlled via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal.

16) Fan speed will slowly decrease as heat request nears the heat demand. If heat demand is sustained for a long duration of time the boiler will get to a point of steady-state and the fan will rotate at constant speed.

17) When the heat demand is satisfied or is removed the burner will shut off and the fan speed will ramp up to the preset post-purge speed until the post-purge timer is satisfied.

18) The boiler will then go into standby as it waits for the next heat demand.

1.5.1 Heat Transfer Process

1) Burner input continues to increase until outlet water temperature reaches the setpoint temperature.

2) Burner input may stabilize at a fixed rate where demand equals input.

3) Burner input will decrease rate when outlet water temperature approaches temperature Set Point.

1.5.2 End of Sequence

1) Setpoint temperature is satisfied.

2) Power to the gas valve is turned off.

3) Combustion Air Fan ramps to a stop over the factory preprogrammed time period.

4) Thermostat is now in standby mode waiting for the next “Call for Heat”.

1.8 REMOVAL OF EXISTING APPLIANCE

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

• Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

• Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine that there is no blockage, restriction, leakage, corrosion or other

deficiency, which could cause an unsafe condition.

• Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the spaces in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. If applicable turn on the clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

• Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so that appliance operates continuously.

• Test for spillage at the draft control device relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use a cold mirror, the flame of a match, or a candle or smoke from a cigarette.

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

• Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so that the installation conforms to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and /or CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.

Heat exchanger surfaces and vent piping should be checked every six months for deterioration and carbon deposits. Remove all soot or other obstructions from the chimney and flue, which might impede draft action. Replace any damaged or deteriorated parts of the venting system.

A qualified service technician should follow this procedure when inspecting and cleaning the heat exchanger and vent pipe.

1) Turn off electrical power and main manual gas shut-off

and allow appliance to cool down.

2) Remove the vent pipe at connection to heat exchanger

and check heat exchanger and vent for obstruction and clean as necessary.

3) Remove burner from appliance and carefully clean as

required. Never brush or wipe the knitted metal fiber surface. Use a garden hose or gently wash under the tap. Vacuum out any deposits found in the heat exchanger.

CAUTION

Never use a pressure washer or compressed air to clean

the burner.

4) Reinstall parts removed in steps 2 and 3. Be sure that

vent pipe has proper pitch and is properly sealed. Replace any damaged gasket or refractory. Tighten fan flange mounting nuts to 3 ft-lb.

5) Restore electrical power and gas supply to appliance.

6) Place appliance in operation using lighting instructions

provided.

7) Confirm proper operation of all safety devices

8) Check for gas leaks and proper vent operation.

NOTE

Experience has shown that improper installation or

system design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause

of most operating problems

1.9 BOILER/FURNACE ROOM OPERATING CONDITION

• Due to low jacket losses from the appliance,

temperatures in the vicinity of the boiler room may drop significantly; supplemental heat is required to maintain ambient temperature at acceptable levels.

1.10 LOCATION OF UNIT

Install this appliance in a clean, dry location with adequate service clearance.

• Do not locate this appliance in an area where it will be

subject to freezing unless precautions are taken. Radiant losses from the DynaMax are minimal and should not be relied on to keep the appliance room warm.

• The appliance should be located close to a floor drain

in an area where leakage from the appliance or connections will not result in damage to the adjacent area or to lower floors in the structure, it is

recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the unit. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be held responsible for water damage in connection with this unit, or any of its components.

• If the appliance is installed above the level of the

building’s radiation system, a low water cut-off device must be installed in the appliance outlet at a minimum of 3 ft (1M) above the heat exchanger inlet/outlet connections. Some local codes require the installation of a low water cut-off on all systems

• When placing the appliance be aware that a minimum

clearance of 24” must be provided at the front to allow easy access to the heat exchanger. DynaMax wall mount units do not require access through the sides and can be placed adjacent to each other with zero clearance. Floor mount units require access on the left side.

• The appliance must be installed so that the ignition

system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.)

• Appliances located in a residential garage and in

adjacent spaces that open to the garage and are not part of the living space of a dwelling unit must be installed so that all burners and burner ignition devices have a minimum clearance of not less than 18" (46cm) above the floor. The appliance must be located or protected so that it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.

• DO NOT install this appliance in any location where

gasoline or flammable vapors are likely to be present.

• Appliance must be installed on a level floor. Maintain

required clearances from combustible surfaces.

• The appliance designed for indoor installation (Indoor Models) must be installed indoors where it is protected from exposure to wind, rain and weather.

• The appliance designed for outdoor installation (Outdoor Models) must be installed outdoors. Always consider the use of a shelter such as a garden shed in lieu of direct exposure of the appliance to the elements. The additional protection afforded by the shelter will help to minimize nuisance problems with electrical connections and will allow easier servicing of the appliance under severe weather conditions.

PART 2 AIR INLET AND VENTING

It is extremely important to follow these venting instructions carefully. Failure to do so can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

2.1 GENERAL VENTING GUIDE

The DynaMax Wall Hung is a category IV condensing appliance, 97% efficient unit. The DynaMax Floor Mount is a category II condensing appliance, 97% efficient.

• The DynaMax may be vented with: manufactured

prefabricated UL/ ULC listed vents of AL29-4C or 316L stainless steel or with plastic vent certified to UL/ ULC S636, such as, IPEX System 636 CPVC or IPEX System 636 PVC or as permitted by local jurisdictions.

• The DynaMax boiler must be vented and supplied

with combustion and ventilation air as described in this section. Ensure that the venting and combustion air supply complies with these instructions.

• Installations must be in accordance with Part 7,

“Venting of Equipment”, of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 for US installations or the latest edition of CAN/CGA Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment in Canada.

• The distance of the vent terminal from adjacent

buildings, windows that open and building openings MUST comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 for U.S. installations or CAN/CGA Standard B149 Installation Code for Canadian Installations.

• Vent connection is made directly to the flue outlet

opening on top of the unit for the wall mount unit and at the back of the unit for floor mount. The connection from the appliance vent to the stack must be made as direct as possible. The first 3 feet of vent from the appliance flue outlet must be readily accessible for visual inspection.

• Vent connectors serving appliances vented by

natural draft shall not be connected into any portion of a mechanical draft system operating under positive pressure.

• A UL listed concentric vent/air intake kit may be

used with the DynaMax.

• Horizontal runs of vent pipe shall be securely

supported (approximately every 4 feet) to prevent sagging and maintain a minimum upward slope of ¼” per foot from the appliance to the vent terminal.

• The weight of the venting system must not rest on

the unit. Adequate support of the venting system must be provided in compliance with local codes and other applicable codes.

• All connections should be secured and sealed per

the vent manufacturer’s specifications. When a positive vent system is disconnected for any reason, the flue must be reassembled and resealed according to the vent manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not use an existing chimney as a raceway if

another appliance or fireplace is vented through the chimney.

• Inspect completed vent and air supply piping

thoroughly to ensure all connections are sealed and

are in compliance with the instructions provided and satisfy requirements of all applicable codes.

NOTE

All vent pipes must be properly assembled and supported, and the exhaust must be pitched a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot back to the boiler. All components used to fabricate and assemble the vent system are to originate from the same supplier.

When determining equivalent inlet air and vent lengths of 3” diameter add 3 to 5 feet for each 90o elbow and 2 to 3 feet for each 45o elbow, depending on centerline radius of the elbow.

Example: 30 feet of CPVC pipe + (3 x 5 feet) 90o elbows + (1 x 3 feet) 45o elbow = 48 equivalent feet of piping for centerline radius of 1.5D, where D is the pipe diameter.

2.2 CATEGORY IV VENTING

A category IV appliance is individually vented through a dedicated vent.

The DynaMax Wall Hung boilers/ water heaters shall only be vented as a Category IV appliance.

Both Wall Hung and Floor Mount appliances shall be vented using sealed positive vent suitable for a condensing appliance with the following venting options:

1) Sidewall or rooftop termination where both the vent and combustion air inlet air are in the same zone. The inlet and vent terminals are to be installed with a minimum 12” separation distance between centerline of inlet and centerline of exhaust. Refer to Fig. 8, 9, and 10 for sidewall termination and Fig. 11 for rooftop termination.

2) Sidewall termination with vent and combustion air inlet from separate zones.

3) Single Pipe thru wall or rooftop venting with combustion air inlet from the boiler room.

NOTE

Vent Option 3 not recommended for R-2000 homes or equivalent air tight construction.

NOTE

Sealed combustion is required when DynaMax is placed in a space with other fan-assisted appliances.

2.4 COMBINED COMBUSTION AIR INLET

To avoid the possibility of nuisance lockouts in cold climates install DynaMax appliances with a combined combustion air inlet.

The combined combustion air inlet pipe sizing can be calculated using the method shown below:

Equivalent pipe diameter = Sq Root [(d1)2 + (d2)2 + (d3)2 + … + (dn)2], where dn = individual pipe diameter

• Example: Find the equivalent pipe diameter of three air inlet pipes, 3” (7.6cm), 3” (7.6cm) and 4” (10.2cm) Equivalent pipe diameter = Sq Root[(3)2 + (3)2 + (4)

] = Sq Root(34) = 5.8”, select 6” (15.3cm)

equivalent diameter pipe.

Air inlet point for multiple boiler air inlets must be provided with an exterior opening which has a free area equal to or greater than the total area of all air inlet pipes connected to the common air inlet. This exterior opening for combustion air must connect directly to the outdoors. The total length of the combined air inlet pipe must not exceed a maximum of 100 equivalent feet (30.5m). Deduct the restriction in an area provided by any screens, grills or louvers installed in the common air inlet point. Screens, grills or louvers installed in the common air inlet can reduce the free area of the opening from 25 to 75% based on the materials used. Calculate and compensate accordingly.

2.5 VENT TERMINATION AND AIR INLET CLEARANCES

2.5.1 Sidewall Venting

• The first 3 feet (1m) of vent from the appliance flue outlet must be readily accessible for inspection.

Figure 7: Vertical Configuration

* Always check local codes for minimum distance above

ground or snow levels

Figure 8: Horizontal Configuration

* Always check local codes for minimum distance above

ground or snow levels

10) Operate the appliance for one heat cycle to ensure combustion air and vent pipes are properly connected to the concentric vent termination connections.

CAUTION

Do not operate appliance with the rain cap removed as this may result in the recirculation of flue products. Water may also flow into the combustion air pipe and into the burner enclosure.

Figure 13: Concentric Vent Vertical Venting

Length of Air Inlet Pipe

The maximum total length of the sidewall or vertical roof top combustion air inlet pipe as installed from the appliance to the air inlet cap must not exceed 100 equivalent feet (30.5m) in length. Subtract 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5m) of equivalent length depending on centerline radius for each 90o elbow installed in the air inlet pipe system. Pressure drop in each 45o elbow will be half as much, 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 1.0m).

PART 3 GAS CONNECTION

Verify that the appliance is supplied with the type of gas specified on the rating plate. Consult factory for installations at high altitude.

3.1 GAS CONNECTION

• Safe operation of unit requires properly sized gas supply piping. See gas line sizing data.

• Gas pipe size may be larger than appliance connection.

• Installation of a union at the appliance gas line

connection is required for ease of service and removal of the gas train.

• Install a manual main gas shutoff valve, outside of the appliance gas connection as require by local codes.

• A trap (drip leg) MUST be provided in the inlet gas connection to the appliance.

• Optional gas controls may require routing of bleeds and vents to the atmosphere, outside the building when required by local codes.

3.2 GAS PIPING

All gas connections must be made with pipe joint compound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum and natural gas. All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances.

3.3 INSTALL PIPING

• The gas line should be sufficient to handle the total installed capacity. Verify pipe size with your gas supplier.

• Use approved piping as per code free from burrs.

• Install a manual main gas shutoff valve at the appliance

gas inlet, outside of the appliance and before the gas valve.

• Run pipe to the Appliance gas inlet.

• Install a sediment trap in the supply line to the Appliance

gas inlet.

• Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe compound.

• For LP gas, consult your LP gas supplier for expert installation.

The appliance and its individual gas shut-off valve must be disconnected from the supply piping when pressure testing the gas supply piping at pressures above ½ PSI

Table 9: Gas Pressures at Inlet to Appliance

PROPANE NATURAL GAS

Minimum (inches W.C.)

11 3

Maximum (inches W.C.)

11 14

The gas supply line must be of adequate size to prevent undue pressure drop and must never be smaller than the size of the connection on the appliance. Sizing based on Table 4 or 6 is recommended, depending on model. Before operating the appliance, the complete gas train and all connections must be tested using soap solution.

Verify that the appliance is supplied with the type of gas specified on the rating plate. Heating values of local natural gas are to be between 950 and 1010 Btu/ft3. Consult factory if heating values are outside this range or if a gas with a mixture of constituents is being used.

3.4 CHECKING GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE

• Turn main power switch to “OFF” position.

• Shut off gas supply at the manual gas cock in the gas

piping to the appliance. If fuel supply is LP gas, shut off gas supply at the tank.

• DM80 – 399: Loosen the slotted screw from the gas pressure test port on the gas valve. Connect manometer or magnahelic gauge to test port. Range of scale should be 0 to 14 inch W.C. or greater to check inlet pressure.

• DM500 – 800: Remove the 1/8" hex plug from the gas pressure test port located upstream of gas valve. Install a pressure tapping suitable to connect to a manometer or magnahelic gauge. Range of scale should be 0 to 14 inch W.C. or greater to check inlet pressure.

• Turn on gas supply at field installed manual gas cock; turn on LP gas at tank if required.

• Turn power switch to “ON” position.

• Initialize call for heat.

• Observe the gas supply pressure as the burner fires at

100% of rated input. Supply pressure is to remain stable.

• Ensure inlet pressure is within specified range as specified in Table 9.

• If gas pressure is out of range, contact the gas utility, gas supplier, qualified installer or service agency to determine necessary steps to provide proper gas pressure to the control.

• If gas supply pressure is within normal range, proceed to remove gas manometer and tighten slotted screw on gas valve (DM80 – 399) or replace pressure tap fittings in the gas piping to the appliance (DM500 – 800). Turn power switch to “OFF” position.

• Turn on gas supply at the manual valve; turn on LP gas at tank if required.

• Turn power switch to “ON” position.

• Adjust set point to the desired water temperature.

• Check appliance performance by cycling the system

while you observe burner response. The burner should ignite promptly. Flame profile should be stable, see section 11.2, Visually Check Main Burner Flames. Turn system off and allow burner to cool, then cycle burner again to ensure proper ignition and flame characteristics.

IMPORTANT

Upon completion of initial installation or following any repair work on the gas system, leak test all gas connections with a soap solution while the main burner is firing. Immediately repair any leak found in the gas train or related components. DO NOT operate an appliance with a leak in the gas train, valves or related gas piping.

3.5 HIGH and LOW GAS PRESSURE SWITCHES (Optional)

High and low gas pressure switches are available as an option and are wired in series with the normally closed blocked flue switch. The high gas pressure switch is used to monitor the differential gas pressure between the outlet of the control valve and the fan inlet. If differential gas pressure exceeds the maximum setting of the pressure switch, the appliance will shut down and a Blocked Flue Error will be indicated on the display panel. The low gas pressure switch is to monitor the minimum incoming gas supply pressure supplied to the gas train. If gas pressure falls below the minimum setting of the pressure switch, the appliance will shut down and a Blocked Flue error will be displayed.

3.6 AIR/GAS RATIO VALVE

The main gas valve supplying gas to the burner on this appliance utilizes a servo pressure regulator providing a slow opening, fast closing safety shut off and air/gas ratio control for the gas combustion process. The valve is a 1:1 negative pressure gas valve. The valve performs the functions of a pressure regulator, safety shutoff, and air/gas ratio control. Full closing of the valve seat occurs in less than

0.8 seconds when the valve is de-energized. Operation of

the gas valve in combination with the combustion air fan allows the burner input rate to vary from 20% to 100% based on temperature demand. The inlet gas supply pressure must be maintained within the specified minimum and maximum pressures as indicated in Table 9.

The air/gas ratio is preset at the factory and adjustment is not usually required if gas supply pressure is maintained within the specified range. There are no serviceable parts on the air/gas ratio valve control.

3.7 BURNER

Figure 17: DynaMax Burner

This appliance uses a single cylindrical burner installed horizontally into the cavity located in the center of the heat exchanger. A unique burner is used for each one of the DynaMax models.

Burners may NOT be interchanged between different Btu/hr input models. The burner consists of a round mounting flange welded to a ported stainless steel mixing tube. This stainless steel tube is covered with a close fitting, knitted stainless steel metal fiber alloy material that forms the burner outer surface. The burner is setup to operate in blue mode and infrared operating condition should be avoided. Infrared operation will occur only if air to gas adjustments is incorrect. If infrared operation is noted the cause must be corrected.

The burner should be removed for inspection and cleaning on an annual basis. An appliance installed in a dust or dirt contaminated environment will require inspection and cleaning on a more frequent schedule. The fan assisted combustion process may force airborne dust and dirt contaminants, contained in the combustion air, into the burner. With sustained operation, non-combustible contaminants may reduce burner surface area, reduce burner input or cause non-warrantable damage to the burner.

Airborne contaminants such as dust, dirt, concrete dust or dry wall dust can be drawn into the burner with the combustion air and block the burner surface area. DO NOT operate this appliance during construction.

The spark igniter and flame sensor are removable from the combustion chamber mounting door without removing the burner assembly.

Never use an open flame (match, lighter, etc.) to check gas connections.

Regulated Gas Supply Pressures for DynaMax Boilers & Water Heaters

A stable gas supply pressure is important to avoid rough starts with machines like the DynaMax which use a 1 to 1 ratio control valve for internal gas pressure regulation. Camus requires that all DynaMax models be supplied with no more than 1 PSI supply pressure. This means that lockup pressure must not exceed 1 PSI.

It is paramount that maximum lockup pressure be confirmed before any attempt is made to start up the appliance.

Operating the DynaMax at lockup pressures exceeding 1 PSI is not recommended and could lead to delayed ignitions and damage to the appliance.

PART 4 WATER CONNECTION

• Check all applicable local heating, plumbing and building safety codes before proceeding.

• If the appliance is installed above radiation level it must be provided with a low water cut-off device at the time of appliance installation (available from Camus). Some local codes require the installation of a low water cut-off on all systems.

• Before connecting DynaMax to piping in a closed loop system, flush system thoroughly and refill with clean water and add chemical treatment to bring pH to 8.0 to

8.5 range.

• A pressure relief valve is supplied with each DynaMax. The relief valve must be mounted in a vertical position and piped to the floor in a manner acceptable to the enforcing authority.

• Be sure to provide unions and gate valves at inlet and outlet to the appliance so that it can be easily isolated for service.

• On combination heaters a flow setter valve at the appliance outlet facilitates setting of the desired outlet temperature at high fire. Refer to Section 12.9 Domestic Hot Water with Plate Heat Exchanger for more details

• This appliance is a low mass stainless steel tube design which provides for instant heat transfer. All appliances are supplied with an internal suitable specific pump mounted in place. When replacing the pump, replace with one of equal or better-performance.

• An air vent is supplied on the heat exchanger header to eliminate trapped air. Install venting devices at high points in the system as well to eliminate trapped air in the piping.

• Use suitable pipe hangers or floor stands to support the weight of all water and gas piping.

• The DynaMax must be installed so that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.)

• Strainers are recommended to be installed into the system to prevent foreign objects from entering the heat exchanger.

4.1 FREEZE PROTECTION OUTDOOR

INSTALLATION

• Appliance installations are not recommended outdoors or in areas where danger of freezing exists unless precautions are taken. Maintaining a mixture of 70% water and 30% propylene glycol is the preferred method of freeze protection in hydronic systems. DO NOT exceed a mixture of 50/50. This mixture will protect the appliance to approximately -35ºF (-37ºC).

• For outdoor installations a snow screen should be installed to prevent snow and ice accumulation around the appliance. Regular inspections should be made to ensure that air inlet and vent are free of snow and ice. Always consider the use of a shelter such as a garden shed in lieu of direct exposure of the appliance to the elements. The additional protection afforded by the shelter will help to minimize nuisance problems with electrical connections and will allow easier servicing of the appliance under severe weather conditions.

4.2 WARNING REGARDING CHILLED WATER SYSTEMS

When an appliance is connected to an air conditioning system where the same water is used for heating and cooling, the chiller must be piped in parallel with the appliance. Appropriate flow control valves; manual or motorized must be provided to prevent the chilled water from entering the appliance.

Figure 18: Chilled Water System

4.3 INLET AND OUTLET CONNECTIONS

• All water connections must meet American National

Standard Pipe Threads (NPT).

• For ease of service, install unions on inlet and outlet of

the appliance. The connection to the appliance marked “Inlet” on the header should be used for return from the system. The connection on the header marked “Outlet” is to be connected to the supply side of the system.

4.4 MINIMUM PIPE SIZE REQUIREMENTS

Minimum water pipe connections are as follows for DynaMax single unit installations. The equivalent number of straight feet of pipe for each valve and fitting in the connecting piping must be considered to properly arrive at the total equivalent feet of straight pipe in the field installed piping to the appliance. Consult factory if longer piping distances are required for a specific application. It is recommended to use copper piping for all system piping to reduce the possibility of the formation of deposits, which may result in heat exchanger starvation.

System pipe size must be in accordance with Table 11, and between supply and return lines, must not exceed 50 feet of equivalent length. Connection sizes at the heater are given in Tables 4 & 6. Any reduction in recommended pipe size may decrease flow resulting in high temperature rise across the heat exchanger, boiler noise, flashing to steam and nonwarrantable heat exchanger damage.

800,000 2

* Equivalent length must not exceed 50 equivalent feet

4.5 HEAT EXCHANGER

This appliance uses precision formed stainless steel tubing to maximize the heat transfer process and achieve 97% steady-state efficiency. This heat exchanger is designed to withstand 160 PSIG working pressure. A factory installed circulating pump ensures proper water flow during burner operation and creates enough velocity inside the stainless steel tubes and headers that prevents scaling.

4.6 LOW WATER TEMPERATURE SYSTEMS

In applications where the heating system requires supply water temperatures below 110°F, connections may be made directly to the DynaMax. At incoming temperatures of 80oF or lower the DynaMax achieves maximum efficiency. Inlet temperatures must not drop below 40oF to prevent freezing.

4.7 PIPING ARRANGEMENTS

The DynaMax boiler when configured as a hydronic heating boiler allows for 4 modes of operation and 3 modes of operation as a hot water heater. For more details on each of the operating modes refer to section 6.3 Central Heating Modes and 6.4 Domestic Hot Water Modes.

4.7.1 Field Supplied Components

1) Boiler system piping Boiler system piping MUST be sized according to

Table 11. Reducing the pipe size can restrict the flow rate through the boiler, causing boiler damage and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

2) Isolation Valves Use only full port ball valves. Failure to supply full

port ball valves may result in reduced flow rate through the boiler, causing boiler damage and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

3) Anti-Scald Mixing Valve An anti-scaled mixing valve is recommended when

DHW storage is above 120oF.

4) Unions Recommended for ease of serviceability.

5) System Temperature Sensor (Cascade ONLY) A system temperature sensor is to be installed in

the main header at a point to detect controlled temperature and where it will not lead to shortcycling of the boiler.

An instantaneous water heater is designed to deliver hot water without the use of a storage tank. It is suitable for applications with variable load such as restaurants, condominiums, apartments and motels and typically used in conjunction with tempering valves to achieve temperature control.

5.3.1 SERVICE PARTS

The DynaMax Controller is not repairable. Any modification or repairs will invalidate the warranty and may create hazardous conditions that result in property damage, personal injury, fire, explosion and/or toxic gases. A faulty direct spark igniter MUST be replaced with a new factory part. DO NOT use general purpose field replacement parts. Each appliance has one DynaMax Controller, one direct spark igniter and one flame sensor. A list of recommended spare parts is available.

5.3.2 IGNITION MODULE LOCKOUT FUNCTIONS

The DynaMax Controller may lockout in either a manual reset condition requiring pushing the reset button to recycle the control for a CSD1 requirement or an automatic reset condition. Pushing the reset button on the control panel is the only way to reset the DynaMax Controller that is in a hard lockout condition. The reset button is active after the post purge cycle when there is a lockout condition as indicated by the LCD display. Turning the main power “OFF”

and then “ON” or cycling the thermostat will not reset a hard lockout condition. Wait five seconds after turning on the main power before pushing the RESET button when the DynaMax Controller is in a manual reset condition. Wait for the status LCD display to refresh indicating that the DynaMax Controller is ready before releasing the reset button. The DynaMax Controller will go into an automatic reset condition, if the fault is not corrected, the boiler will stay in the automatic reset state. Once the fault is corrected, the boiler will automatically return to normal operating state.

PART 6 CONTROL PANEL

6.1 DYNAMAX CONTROLLER

The appliance is provided with an operator interface panel at the front. On a DynaMax Wall Hung boiler the DynaMax Controller can be accessed by removing the upper stainless steel jacket and the lower black sheetmetal jacket which are each held on by two (2) screws. On a DynaMax Floor Mount boiler the DynaMax Controller can be accessed by carefully lifting off the black-coloured Top cover which is held on by four (4) snap lock fasteners. The Boiler Temperature Controller (BTC) for this appliance is a proprietary Camus DynaMax Controller. It initiates the local call for heat and sets the target supply (appliance outlet) water temperature. This controller accommodates heating and domestic water control with multiple modes of operation which provide set point as well as reset control. It provides the following:

• Readings of inlet and outlet water temperatures, stack temperatures, domestic hot water temperature, flame current, status of heater operation, etc.

• Operation as an auto reset limit.

• Operation as a control for discharge water temperature.

• Optional tank mounted sensor used in conjunction with

outlet sensor for domestic hot water.

• Adjustable target temperature

• Display of run hours for maintenance purposes. Counter

displays run time up to 10,000 hours. Pressing the RESET button will reset the counter.

• Molex, Stocko and AMP connectors for ease of service.

• Error message display.

6.2 SETTING THE DYNAMAX CONTROLLER

Press the MENU button and then select the desired setting using the PREVIOUS and NEXT Buttons. When the desired setting is satisfied press the ENTER key and this will save the last setting. In normal operating mode the inlet temperature, outlet temperature, and ON hours can be viewed by pressing the PREVIOUS and NEXT key. After checking the settings allow the control to return to normal operation on its own.

6.3 CENTRAL HEATING MODES

Mode 0: Central Heating without Outdoor Reset In this mode no outdoor sensor is needed. If the room thermostat closes, the pump is switched on.

Burner On:

Supply Temp < CH Setpoint – CH Hysterese

Burner Modulation:

CH Setpoint

Burner Off:

Supply Temp > CH Setpoint + CH Hysterese If the room thermostat opens the burner is switched off and

the pump runs on for post pump (default: 30 sec). The anti-freeze monitor on each boiler will monitor the inlet

water temperature and when it drops below 50oF (10oC) it will bring on the pump to prevent freezing of the heat exchanger.

Mode 1: Central Heating with Outdoor Reset and Thermostat

Control

This mode will only function when an outdoor sensor is connected. The set point is calculated depending on the outdoor temperature and the burner will react on the room thermostat. The central heating set point is calculated as follows:

ch_setpoint = t_day_ref + [(68 – T_outdoor) * Slope]

To assist with programming a suitable outdoor reset curve it would be advised to consult a qualified service technician using DynaMax Outdoor Reset Calculator.xls

t_day_ref is the reference temperature for central heating set point when T_outdoor is 68oF (20oC). T_day_ref is a user settable parameter.

The Slope can be set via the menu between 0.1 to 5.0 with steps of 0.1.

The calculated central heating set point is limited between 41oF (5oC) and 194oF (90oC).

The outdoor temperature used for the central heating set point calculation is measured once a minute and averaged with the previous measurement. This is done to avoid drastic changes to the boiler when outdoor temperature fluctuates rapidly.

Burner On:

Supply Temp < CH Setpoint – CH Hysterese

Burner Modulation:

CH Setpoint

Burner Off:

Supply Temp > CH Setpoint + CH Hysterese The anti-freeze monitor on each boiler will monitor the inlet

water temperature and when it drops below 50oF (10oC) it will bring on the pump to prevent freezing of the heat exchanger.

Figure 22: Outdoor Reset Curve

Mode 2: Central Heating with Outdoor Reset This mode will only function when an outdoor sensor is

connected. The set point is calculated depending on the outdoor temperature. The central heating set point is calculated as follows:

ch_setpoint = t_day_ref + [(68 – T_outdoor) * Slope]

t_day_ref is the reference temperature for central heating set point when T_outdoor is 68oF (20oC). T_day_ref is a user settable parameter.

The Slope can be set via the menu between 0.1 to 5.0 with steps of 0.1.

The calculated central heating set point is limited between 41oF (5oC) and 194oF (90oC).

Burner On:

Supply Temp < CH Setpoint – CH Hysterese

Burner Modulation:

Burner Off:

Supply Temp > CH Setpoint + CH Hysterese Overnight an input signal from a room thermostat (RT) can

lower the ch_setpoint. When the RT input closes the ch_setpoint will also be lowered by t_night_reduction.

The anti-freeze monitor on each boiler will monitor the inlet water temperature and when it drops below 50oF (10oC) it will bring on the pump to prevent freezing of the heat exchanger.

Mode 3: Central Heating with Constant Temperature Loop No outdoor sensor is needed. The supply temperature is

kept constantly at the set point temperature. The burner is controlled in a similar way as Mode 0. When the room thermostat contact closes the ch_setpoint will be decreased with t_night_reduction. The pump is always on in this condition.

Burner On:

Supply Temp < CH Setpoint – CH Hysterese

Burner Modulation:

CH Setpoint

Burner Off:

Supply Temp > CH Setpoint + CH Hysterese

6.4 DOMESTIC HOT WATER MODES

Mode 0: Disables Domestic Hot Water No domestic hot water is available; therefore the DHW sensor is not supplied.

Mode 1: Direct/Indirect DHW Storage Tank with 10kΩ

Temperature Sensor

The DHW temperature in the tank is measured with a storage tank sensor and set with parameter DHW_setpoint.

DHW Demand:

DHW Temp < DHW Setpoint – DHW Store hyst down

Burner Start:

DHW Temp < DHW Setpoint + DHW store supply extra – DHW supp hyst down

Burner Modulation:

Supply Temp = DHW Setpoint + DHW store supply extra

Burner Stop:

DHW Temp > DHW Setpoint + DHW store supply extra + DHW supp hyst up

The anti-freeze monitor on each boiler will monitor the inlet water temperature and when it drops below 50oF (10oC) it will bring on the pump to prevent freezing of the heat exchanger.

Mode 2: Direct/Indirect DHW Storage Tank with Aguastat When the aquastat closes the control detects a demand for

the storage tank and starts the pump. Operation of Mode 2 is identical to the operation of Mode 1, but an aquastat replaces the use of a sensor in the storage tank.

Burner Start:

Supply Temp < DHW Setpoint – DHW supp hyst down

Burner Modulation:

DHW Setpoint

Burner Stop:

Supply Temp > DHW Setpoint + DHW supp hyst up Mode 4: Combination Boiler using Plate Heat Exchanger and

10kΩ DHW Temperature Sensor

In this configuration the boiler can be used for space heating and indirect domestic hot water. Camus supplies an onboard brazed plate heat exchanger, a pump and a 3-way diverter valve.

When a heat demand is detected the pump will run and the 3-way diverter valve switches over to the hydronic heating loop. The pump continues to run until the ‘post pump CH period’ is complete after cycling through a heat demand cycle. When there is no heat demand the pump will turn off individually controlled zone pumps will draw hot water from the manifold and return from the zone to the manifold.

The temperature of the water leaving the plate heat exchanger is constantly monitored and when it drops below ‘dhw_setpoint – dhw_hyst_down’, the on-board pump activates to satisfy a demand for DHW and the 3-way diverter valve switches over to DHW demand. If a central heating demand is present when a DHW demand occurs, the heating demand will be interrupted resulting in domestic hot water priority. The 3-way valve shall switch over from hydronic heating to DHW demand and the boiler will continue to function in this state until DHW demand ends. If hydronic demand is still present after DHW demand ends the 3-way valve switches over to hydronic heating. This results in zero lag, as the burner does not restart when switching between hydronic heating and DHW demand.

Due to the use of a plate heat exchanger a Pre-Heat function is implemented in the algorithm. This ensures the plate is always warm and prevents the user from receiving an initial blast of cold water when they first turn on the tap. The PreHeat function is enabled after 2 minutes of burner shut off. If the DHW sensor detects that the temperature is below ‘Pre Heat set point – pre heat hyst down’ the boiler will initiate the ignition sequence and the burner will fire at minimum fire until the DHW sensor temperature is equal to the Pre Heat Setpoint. The Pre Heat function will only activate when a DHW demand is non-existent.

The anti-freeze monitor on each boiler will monitor the inlet water temperature and when it drops below 50oF (10oC) the pump will be activated to prevent the heat exchanger from freezing.

PART 7 COMPONENTS

7.1 DIRECT SPARK IGNITER

The direct spark igniter is inserted directly through the combustion chamber front door and held in place by two torx-20 screws. Care must be taken when removing and/or installing the igniter. Always remove the igniter prior to removing the fan assembly for inspection of the burner and heat exchanger.

Figure 23: Direct Spark Igniter

During a trial for ignition sequence a properly operating igniter will generate a continuous spark with a 9/64” (3.6mm) spark gap. It is recommended to clean the direct spark igniter using steel wool as required. DO NOT use sandpaper or grit-cloth since this will contaminate the metal surface.

7.2

FLAME SENSOR

The flame sensor is inserted directly through the combustion chamber front door and is screwed into the combustion chamber front door by torx-20 screws. Care must be taken, when installing the flame sensor, to align it perpendicular to the fan flange and parallel to the burner tube and not to over tighten.

Figure 24: Flame Sensor

The ignition module relies on the flame sensor to provide a flame rectification signal. Oxide deposits, improper placement or damaged ceramic insulator will result in insufficient signal leading to ignition module lock out. For proper operation minimum 1.25 µA DC must be fed back to the module. Oxide deposit on the sensor rod must be removed with steel-wool. DO NOT use sand-paper or gritcloth since this will contaminate the metal surface.

7.3 COMBUSTION AIR FAN

DynaMax uses a modulating air fan to provide combustible air/gas mix to the burner and push the products of combustion through the heat exchanger and venting system. The fan assembly consists of a sealed housing and fan wheel constructed from spark resistant cast aluminum. The fan is operated by a fully enclosed 120 VAC, Single-Phase EC/DC electric motor. The fan housing and motor assembly is fully sealed and SHOULD NOT be field serviced. The power draw of the motor is proportional to the modulated gas input rate of the appliance.

7.4 GAS VALVE

Figure 25: Venturi and Gas Valve Arrangement

The Gas Valve supplied with the DynaMax boiler is a combined valve/venturi assembly. A servo pressure regulator is incorporated into the gas valve to provide stable gas supply. Pressure taps are provided to check inlet and outlet gas pressures. An internal fine mesh screen is incorporated in the inlet of the gas valve to prevent debris from entering the combustion chamber. Gas valves are factory set at low and high fire and modulates to maintain combustion characteristics across the full operating range.

7.5 OUTER JACKET

The outer jacket assembly is constructed from mirror finish stainless steel. This ensures a long life for the jacket assembly, with full integrity

TAP

When there is a domestic demand and the burner will fire until DHW_Setpoint is satisfied.

DHW Priority

When both a CH demand and DHW demand exist simultaneously, DHW will always have priority. When DHW demand ends the boiler will check the Outlet Temperature sensor or System Sensor and Room Thermostat switch to determine if CH demand exists. Flame rod current in µA can be observed. Fan speeds cannot be altered here, instead they are varied under the Settings screen. This is covered in Section 8.2 of this manual The Maximum Stack Setpoint Temperature and the Flue Diff. Temperature cannot be changed to preserve reliable and efficient performance.

Figure 44: DHW Mode = 4 Settings

8.7 LABVISION CASCADE

When connected in a cascade setup the Master boiler can control up to 7 slave boilers (ie. a total of 8 boilers) from the control panel of the Master Boiler. All control operation can be performed on the Master boiler, which can then relay the relevant information to the slave boilers. Therefore a direct connection to the Master Boiler and LabVision is required for communication using LabVision.

When the master boiler detects a heat demand for CH this boiler will start and uses it own parameters for CH demand. If after cascade_delay_time the system temperature is still below the set point the next boiler will start.

When the master temperature (T_system) plus cascade_hyst is greater than the set point a boiler will be stopped. If after a period of cascade_delay_time this situation is still present the next boiler is switched off.

Sequence of Operation: When a boiler is set as MASTER (address =1), the controller

of this boiler will drive the cascade. THE CH mode of the master boiler is applicable for the total cascade system.

• The outdoor temperature sensor connected to the MASTER will be the outdoor sensor for the cascade system

• The system temperature sensor connected to the MASTER will be the control sensor for the cascade supply temperature.

• The thermostat connected to the MASTER will be the CH heat demand input for the cascade system.

When demand for CH present the first boiler will start and uses its own parameters for CH demand. After a period of CC_TIME the MASTER compared the system temperature with the cascade set point and will check if:

1) An additional boiler is needed

T_system < CH set point – cc_hyst

2) Number of boilers remain the same

T_system > CH_setpoint – cc_hyst AND T_system < CH set point + cc_hyst

3) A boiler should stop.

T_system > CH_setpoint + cc_hyst

Staging Operation The control supports a function to rotate the boilers on a

timely basis. With parameter CC_STAGE_TIME the time can be set after which the start and stop sequence of the cascade boilers changes.

Table 25: Staging Sequence

Figure 45: Cascade Screen

The following parameters can be adjusted:

Table 26: Cascade Parameters

Parameter Parameter Description

CC_HYST

This parameter is entered to provide a modulation rate above and below the set point. This value must be smaller than the CH_Hysterese.(Default: 5oF)

CC_TIME

This parameter is entered to implement a delay time between the startup of one boiler to the next. This timer starts when a flame signal is detected from the first boiler.(Default: 120 sec)

CC_STAGE_TIME

Period after which boiler start-up order changes (Defualt: 100 hrs)

Refer to section 12.14 Cascade Setup to install a Cascade system setup.

8.8 DATA LOGGING

LabVision software also comes equipped with data logging capability which has the ability to track return/supply, DHW temperatures, actual and target fan speed, state and status in a graph as the boiler is operating. This is a beneficial feature as it improves the ability to troubleshoot and diagnose issues in the field.

Figure 46: Data Logging Screen

To select the parameters that need to be viewed or recorded, a Parameter Selection Box on the bottom left-side of the screen contains all the parameters that LabVision can track. To view or record the parameter that is required, click the check box beside each parameter. When finished selecting the parameters required, click on Update and this will refresh the logging screen.

Figure 47: Parameter Selection Box

To adjust the viewing area, this can be done by adjusting the margins for the left y-axis, right y-axis and the timeframe with which to view.

Figure 48: Adjust Viewing Area

To record the data that is shown on screen, go to the Toolbar and click on Logging > Start Logging. A window will pop up on screen asking for a file name for the log file to be captured. DO NOT change the file type, as LabVision must record the log file as .Csv. As soon as file name is confirmed by clicking on ‘Open’, LabVision begins capturing the data immediately. Also notice that the status bar has changed from blue to red. This demonstrates that LabVision is recording to the log file specified. The amount of data collected can be limited to a certain size inside LabVision. When a maximum memory limit is set, this results in over-writing previously written data in the same log. Therefore it captures the most recent amount of data. To prevent this from occurring this feature can be turned off by clicking on Options > Options > Logging tab and uncheck the parameter ‘Limit Logfile’. With this

feature disabled the log file will be dependent on time as opposed to memory size.

Figure 49: Unlimited Log File Size

When logging is complete click on Logging > Stop Logging. Notice that the status bar has changed from red to blue. This informs that Logging is complete. To view a log file, Camus recommends using Microsoft® Excel.

8.8.1 Procedure for Viewing Log Files in Microsoft®

9.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE DYNAMAX CONTROL PANEL

For times when a notebook computer is not available, a service technician will still be able to perform all the functions described in LabVision, except for the logging aspect.

The menu structure for the DynaMax Control Panel was designed to be intuitive and easy to use for a first time user. To maintain the DynaMax boiler at its correct settings three levels of security is provided. User, Installer and Factory with an increasing amount of parameters that can be adjusted with each higher level of access. This is done to provide an easy means of communication for the end user and a more indepth approach for factory and installers when installing and troubleshooting.

Flue Gas Error displayed on screen

A flue gas error occurs when the stack temperature has exceeded the maximum limit allowed by the vent material. This is an automatic reset error, when the stack temperature drops 20oF below the limit allowed the boiler is allowed to restart and an ignition attempt is made if the call for heat is not yet satisfied. In the event that a setpoint greater than 150oF is selected and PVC venting is used the setpoint must be reduced to below 150oF to avoid nuisance flame failures. If a setpoint greater than 150oF is required, venting with CPVC, AL29-4C, 316LL or PPE is strongly advised. The stack temperature is between 10-150oF above the incoming (return) water temperature to the appliance.

10.1 SETTING THE CORRECT COMBUSTION

1) Switch the main power off to the boiler by placing the toggle switch in the ‘OFF’ position

2) Switch the main power on to the boiler and adjust set point so that boiler begins ignition sequence.

3) Observe the boiler as it goes through its startup cycle and operates at high fire. This cycle is detailed on Table 41 in section 12.14 Ignition Cycle.

4) Insert the combustion measurement probe into the stack when high fire operation is observed. Check to see that fan is running at maximum fan speed using the Control Panel.

5) The combustion values should reside in the range listed in Table 38. If combustion values are not within this range refer to Section 10.2 Gas Valve Adjustment Procedure to correct this issue.

PART 11 MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

It is important that all gas appliances be serviced by a qualified technician trained by Camus Hydronics. It is in your own interest and that of safety to ensure that all local codes, and all the “NOTES” and “WARNINGS” in this manual are complied with. To service or adjust this appliance, it is imperative that the serviceman utilize a combustion analyzer to read CO2 and CO according to Camus Hydronics recommendations.

Listed below are items that must be checked to ensure safe reliable operations. Verify proper operation after servicing.

11.1 EXAMINE THE VENTING SYSTEM

Examine the venting system at least once a year. Check more often in the first year to determine inspection interval. Check all joints and pipe connections for tightness, corrosion or deterioration. Flush the condensate drain hose with water to clean. Clean screens in the venting air inlet system as required. Have the entire system, including the venting system, periodically inspected by a qualified service agency.

11.2 VISUALLY CHECK MAIN BURNER FLAMES

At each start up after long shutdown periods or at least every six months. A burner view port is located on the combustion chamber front door.

CAUTION

The area around the burner view port is hot and direct contact could result in burns

Figure 59: Normal Burner Flame Profile (short dense

and blue)

• Normal Flame: A normal flame at 100% of burner input is blue, with a well defined flame and no flame lifting.

• Yellow Tip: Yellow tipping can be caused by blockage or partial obstruction of air flow to the burner.

• Yellow Flames: Yellow flames can be caused by blockage of primary air flow to the burner or excessive gas input. This condition MUST be corrected immediately.

If improper flame is observed, examine the venting system; ensure proper gas supply and adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air.

11.3 CLEANING BOILER HEAT EXCHANGER

Figure 60: Heat Exchanger & Burner Assembly

1) Shut down boiler: a) Turn the main power off to the boiler

b) Shut off gas supply at the main manual valve in

the gas piping of the main appliance

c) DO NOT drain the boiler unless it will be exposed

to freezing temperatures. If using antifreeze prevention fluid in the heat exchanger, DO NOT drain.

2) Allow time for the boiler to cool to room temperature if it has been firing.

3) Wall Hung: Remove both the stainless steel upper jacket and the lower sheetmetal jacket.

Floor Mount: Remove front stainless steel panel.

4) Remove igniter and flame sensor electrodes. If necessary, clean with steel wool. DO NOT use sandpaper.

5) Remove the fan/ mixing tube assembly from the heat exchanger door.

6) Remove burner.

7) Examine burner and clean if required as per 11.7.1.

8) Examine heat exchanger surfaces to determine if cleaning is required. If cleaning is required remove the (6) nuts fastening the heat exchanger flange from the heat exchanger.

9) Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any debris that has collected on the heat exchanger surfaces. DO NOT use any type of solvent.

10) Finish cleaning by wiping down the boiler heating surfaces with a clean, damp cloth.

11) Re-install the heat exchanger door by evenly torquing down the (6) nuts to 3 ft-lbs, burner, igniter and flame sensor, and fan/ mixing tube assembly. Fasten the nuts back to the heat exchanger assembly.

12) Re-connect the fan assembly to the boiler mixing tube.

NOTE

All gaskets on disassembled components must be replaced with new gaskets/sealant on re-assembly, if required. Gasket kits are available from the factory

CAUTION

When the vent system is disconnected for any reason it must be reassembled and resealed according to vent manufacturer’s instruction

11.4 CONDENSATE TREATMENT

Condensate occurs when the products of combustion are cooled below their dew point in the heat transfer process. The liquid condensate formed from this high efficiency heat transfer process is mildly acidic.

• The condensate will typically have a pH ranging from

4.0 to 5.0 as it is discharged from the condensate drain of the appliance.

• The condensate collection box inside each DynaMax where the condensate is collected is constructed of a non-corrosive plastic.

• All materials external to the appliance in contact with the condensate must be corrosion resistant.

• Condensate must be able to flow freely from the appliance. All condensate flow is accomplished by gravity requiring a minimum downward slope of 1/4” per foot (21mm/m) to ensure proper flow to a suitable drain.

• All condensate piping and connections must be easily accessible for routine maintenance and inspection.

• Use solid piping when running condensate line across the floor.

• Check neutralized pH level regularly or as required by local jurisdiction. Replace neutralizer medium as required.

There are several factors affecting amount of condensation created by the appliance, however for rough approximation use. Condensation Volume, US Gallon/Hr = Input, MBH/1000 x

5.0

Many jurisdictions will require the acidic condensate to be neutralized before it can be placed in a drain system.

• A neutralizer, calcium carbonate, to control the pH of the

liquid discharged to a drain system is provided with every DynaMax boiler.

• Neutralizer consists of an industrial grade, non-corrosive

plastic reservoir for collection of the condensate.

• As the reservoir fills, it provides an extended residence

time to neutralize the condensate.

• Residency time in the neutralizer reservoir allows time

for the pH to be raised.

• Prime the neutralizer reservoir with 1 liter of water.

As the condensate migrates through the reservoir in typical applications the pH is controlled to a range of 5.5 to 6.0 before exiting the system. Always check with local codes for specific requirements.

11.5 IGNITER AND FLAME SENSOR ELECTRODES

The direct spark igniter is to be checked at every service interval. Clean the direct spark igniter as required to maintain peak ignition efficiency.

1) Turn off main electrical power to the appliance.

2) Turn off main manual gas shutoff to the appliance.

3) Locate the direct spark igniter and flame sensor.

4) Disconnect the power lead to the direct spark

igniter and flame sensor

5) Loosen and remove the two (2) torx screws that hold the igniter and flame sensor to the heat exchanger flange.

6) Pull the igniter horizontally out of the heat exchanger flange. Use care, do not hit or break the igniter leads.

7) Remove any debris that has accumulated on the electrodes using steel wool. If the electrodes cannot be cleaned to their original appearance, replacements are needed. Do not use sand-paper since this will contaminate the surface.

8) Check that the igniter and flame sensor gaskets are still in good condition (no tears or seams). If the gaskets are in good condition the electrodes can be re-installed back to the heat exchanger flange.

9) Check that the igniter gap is 9/64”.

11.6 CHECK IGNITER GROUND WIRING

1) Inspect boiler ground wire from the heat exchanger flange to J12 of the electrical DynaMax Controller. Check boiler ground wire continuity.

2) Verify that all wiring is in good condition and is securely anchored.

11.7 BURNER MAINTENANCE

The burner should be removed for inspection and cleaning on an annual basis. An appliance installed in a dust or dirt contaminated environment will require inspection and cleaning on a more frequent schedule. The fan assisted combustion process may force airborne dust and dirt contaminants, contained in the combustion air, into the burner. With sustained operation, non-combustible contaminants may reduce burner port area, reduce burner input or cause non-warrantable damage to the burner. Never

operate this appliance during construction.

Airborne contaminants such as dust, dirt, concrete dust or dry wall dust can be drawn into the burner with the combustion air and block the burner port area.

11.7.1 Burner Removal and Cleaning

Access to the burner will require the following steps:

• Turn off main electrical power to the appliance.

• Turn off main manual gas shutoff to the appliance

• Remove the front cover.

• Disconnect the gas supply connection to the fan

inlet.

• Disconnect the fan motor power wires at the harness.

• Remove the direct spark igniter and the flame sensor.

• Remove the T-25 screws holding the front burner flange in place to gain access to the burner.

• The burner can now be pulled horizontally out of the heat exchanger cavity.

• Use care to prevent damage to the knitted metal fiber of the burner surface.

• Wash the burner with water, such as a garden hose. Never wipe or brush the surface of the burner.

• For optimal results immerse the burner port area in a solution of dishwashing detergent and hot water. DO NOT use chlorine based solvents or cleaning agents on the burner. Allow the burner to remain in the solution for a short period of time to remove, dust, dirt and oil or grease laden contaminants.

• Rinse the burner thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue from the detergent cleaner

• The burner should be air dried after removal from the cleaning solution and rinsing.

• Check all gaskets and replace as necessary. Gaskets affected by heat will not reseal properly and must be replaced.

• Replace the burner in the reverse order that it was removed.

NOTE

When the combustion air fan is removed for any reason, the inlet to the burner must be covered to prevent further foreign objects from falling into the burner. Always look inside the burner to check for dents. Do not place a burner back into operation if the inner distribution screen has been dented during the service operation, call the factory for recommendations. Use care when removing and handling the burner, Sharp objects or impact may damage or tear the metal fiber surface rendering the burner unfit for service.

11.8 REMOVAL OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER

LINING

The combustion chamber insulation in this appliance contains ceramic fiber material. Ceramic fibers can be converted to cristobalite in very high temperature applications. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded, “Crystalline silica in this form of quartz of cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1)”. Normal operating temperatures in this appliance are below the level to convert ceramic fibers to cristobalite. Abnormal operating conditions would have to be created to convert the ceramic fibers in this appliance to cristobalite. The ceramic fiber material used in this appliance is an irritant; when handling or replacing the ceramic materials it is advisable that the installer follow these safety guidelines.

• Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and

eyes.

o Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95).

This type of respirator is based on the OSHA requirements for cristobalite at the time this documentation was written. Other types of respirators may be needed depending on the job site conditions. Current NIOSH recommendations can be found on the NIOSH website at

http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html.

NIOSH approved respirators, manufacturers, and phone numbers are also listed on this website.

o Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing,

gloves, and eye protection

• Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining to prevent airborne dust.

• Remove the combustion chamber lining from the water heater and place it in a plastic bag for disposal.

• Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from other clothing. Rinse clothes washer thoroughly.

NIOSH stated First Aid

• Eye: Irrigate immediately

• Breathing: Fresh air

11.9 COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

Check frequently to be sure that the flow of combustion air to the appliance is not obstructed. Unless air is piped directly to the heater combustion air must be provided to the mechanical room with openings sized per the requirements of the current B149 or National Fuel Gas Code. The DynaMax is setup to allow outdoor combustion air to be connected directly to the appliance. It is highly recommended that combustion air be connected directly to the appliance. For installations in a common boiler room with atmospheric appliances or if there is the possibility of negative pressure in the boiler room, the air inlet must be piped directly to the DynaMax.

11.10 GAS VALVE VOLTAGE

This appliance uses a transformer to supply a 24 volt signal to the gas valve. The voltage on the secondary side should be 24 to 28VAC when measured with a voltmeter. A secondary voltage of 21VAC or less supplied to 24VAC components may cause operational problems.

11.11 COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

CAUTION

Keep appliance clear from combustible materials; do not store GASOLINE and other flammable vapors and liquids in the proximity of the appliance.

11.12 FREEZE PROTECTION FOR INDOOR & OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS

Installations are not recommended in areas where the danger of freezing exists. Proper freeze protection must be provided for appliances installed outdoors, in unheated mechanical rooms or where temperatures may drop to the freezing point or lower. If freeze protection is not provided for the system, a low ambient temperature alarm is recommended for the mechanical room. Damage to the appliance by freezing is non-warrantable.

• Location - Heating boilers, hot water supply boilers or

water heaters must be located in a room having a temperature of at least 40ºF (5ºC).

• Caution - A mechanical room operating under a

negative pressure may experience a downdraft in the flue of an appliance that is not firing. The cold outside air may be pulled down the flue and causing a frozen heat exchanger. This condition must be corrected to

provide adequate freeze protection.

• Freeze protection for the appliance using an indirect coil can be provided by using hydronic system antifreeze. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. DO NOT use undiluted or automotive type antifreeze.

• Shut-down and draining - If for any reason, the unit is to be shut off in a space where danger of freezing exists, the following precautionary measures must be taken:

o Shut off gas supply. o Shut off water supply. o Shut off electrical supply. o Drain the main exchanger and the brazed plate

heat exchanger, if supplied, completely.

o Ensure that the pump and connecting piping are

fully drained.

11.13 FREEZE PROTECTION FOR A HEATING

BOILER SYSTEM (Optional)

• Use only properly diluted inhibited glycol antifreeze designed for hydronic systems. Camus recommends using a 30/70 mixture of glycol antifreeze to water. DO NOT exceed a mixture of 50/50.

• Follow the instructions from the antifreeze manufacturer. Quantity of antifreeze required is based on total system volume including expansion tank volume.

• Antifreeze is denser than water and changes the

viscosity of the system. The addition of antifreeze will decrease heat transfer and increase frictional loss in the boiler and related piping. Where

antifreeze has been used, to maintain the temperature rise across the appliance confirm that the recommended GPM for pure water has been increased by 15% and the head loss by 20%.

• Local codes require a back flow preventer or actual disconnect from city water supply when antifreeze is added to the system.

• When filling or topping-up the system with water mixed with the antifreeze always used distilled or RO (reverse osmosis) water. This will prevent the reaction of the water with antifreeze which can create sludge.

PART 12 INSTALLATIONS

WARNING

Before starting the boiler, smell near the floor and around the boiler for any gas odours or any unusual odour. Remove the stainless steel jacket and smell the interior of the boiler. If there is any sign of a gas leak, do not proceed with startup. Repair all the leaks before attempting to start the boiler.

WARNING

Propane boilers ONLY – Your local propane supplier adds an odorant to the propane gas to allow for propane gas leak detection. In some cases, the added odorant can fade and the gas may not give off any noticeable odour. Before startup have the local propane supplier check for the correct

odorant

level in the gas.

12.1 CHECKING THE INSTALLATION

• Inspect the connections for water, gas and electricity.

• Inlet gas pressure must be a minimum of 3” W.C. for

natural gas and 11” W.C. for propane.

• With the boiler off, open the main gas supply valve and vent the trapped air from the piping leading to the boiler. Confirm that all gas connections to the heater are tight and that there are no missing test plugs.

Refer to Section 10.1 Setting the Correct Combustion of the manual for recommendations on setting combustion characteristics

12.2 CHECKING THE CONSTRUCTION

• Check the boiler wiring to see that it agrees with the wiring diagram supplied.

• Confirm that all terminal strips and field connections are identified.

• Confirm that the DynaMax Controller control is set in the proper mode. In remote mode an external controller determines the set point and the stage contacts on the DynaMax Controller are always closed. Auto reset limits are fixed in all Modes.

• With the boiler running, check for flue gas leaks along the inner cabinet joints and around the flue outlet.

• Repair any leaks prior to proceeding to the next step.

• At the factory, adjustments were made to achieve

proper input and acceptable burner performance at full input and at minimum input.

12.3 HEATING BOILER INSTALLATIONS

Before beginning the installation, consult local codes for specific plumbing requirements. The installation should have unions and valves at the inlet and outlet of the appliance so it can be isolated for service. An air separation device must be supplied in the installation piping to eliminate trapped air in the system. Locate a system air vent at the highest point in the system. The system must also have a properly sized expansion tank installed. Typically, an air charged diaphragm-type expansion tank is used. The expansion tank must be installed close to the boiler and on the suction side of the system pump (appliance Inlet) to ensure proper operation. Caution: This appliance should not be operated at less than 12 PSIG cold. Pressure will rise when hot. Expansion tank sizing will determine the pressure when the system is hot. Do not operate the system at less than 18-20 PSIG when hot. Water piping must be supported by suitable hangers or floor stands, NOT by the appliance. Pipe systems will be subject to considerable expansion and contraction.

Pipe supports could allow the pipe to slide resulting in noise transmitted into the system. Padding is recommended. The boiler pressure relief valve must be piped to a suitable floor drain. See Section 4.11.

12.4 INSPECT & RECHARGE CONDENSATE COLLECTION/NEUTRALIZING RESERVOIR

1) Before starting the unit inspect the condensate reservoir

in the DynaMax making sure the collection box is intact.

2) Remove screw holding lid on to condensate collection

box. Remove lid from the condensate collection box

3) Examine neutralizer medium and refill as necessary with

fresh medium

4) Fill with fresh water until the water begins to flow out of

drain

5) Re-install the lid and hold-down screw on the

condensate collection box.

WARNING

The condensate collection box must be filled with water to prevent flue gas emissions from escaping during boiler operation.

CAUTION

A leak in a boiler “System” will cause the fill system to introduce fresh water constantly, which may cause the tubes to accumulate a line/scale build up. Lime/scale buildup leading to heat exchanger failure is NOT covered by warranty.

12.5 WATER CONNECTIONS

System pipe size must be in accordance with Table 10 (depending on model) and, between supply and return lines, must not exceed 50 feet of equivalent length. Connection sizes at the heater are given in Tables 3 & 5. Any reduction in recommended pipe size may decrease flow resulting in high temperature rise across the heat exchanger, boiler noise, flashing to steam and non-warrantable heat exchanger damage.

12.6 PIPING LENGTHS

The appliance circulator provides the water flow from the primary boiler piping, through the boiler and back to the primary system. Pipe diameter and length are critical to ensure proper flow through the boiler. The secondary loop piping to and from the appliance must have a fully ported ball valve installed in both the supply and return side piping and will be used for isolation only. The ball valves must be the same diameter as the installed piping. If flow control is required, other means of flow control such as globe valve or flow setter should be used.

12.7 SUMMARY

a) Typical Boiler Installations

General Plumbing Rules

1) Check all local codes.

2) For serviceability, always install unions.

3) Always pipe pressure relief valve to an open

drain.

4) Locate system air vents at highest point of

system.

5) Expansion tank must be installed near the

boiler and on the suction side of the system pump.

6) Support all water piping.

7) Place drip pan underneath boiler. (if required)

b) Placing the Boiler in Operation

Pre-Start Check List

1) Review the location of the boiler, clearances from combustible surfaces and available service clearances.

2) Review Part 2 Venting. Ensure that all vent components are fabricated from the correct category of materials with adequate clearance from combustibles. Review the vent termination point for proper location and clearances.

3) If a separate combustion air pipe is used, ensure that it is properly sized, sealed and terminated.

4) Review the water piping from the boiler to the system. The boiler must be installed in a primary/ secondary piping system. Review the diameter and equivalent length of the installed piping to and from the boiler to ensure proper flow.

5) Ensure that a properly sized system pump is installed with an expansion tank.

6) Check system pressure. Ensure a minimum of 18-20 PSIG with the system hot and not more than 90% of the rated pressure of the relief valve.

7) Review the installed gas piping from the meter to the boiler. Ensure that the gas pipe, meter and any regulators are adequately sized.

8) Review the field wiring and electrical service for the boiler controls. Ensure that the electrical service(s) is adequately sized.

9) Fill the condensate collector with fresh water until water begins to pour out the drain.

10) Ensure that the boiler condensate drain and all vent system condensate drains are properly routed to an acceptable floor drain.

Boiler Set-Up

1) Ensure that the boiler and piping system are full of water. Bleed all air from the pump housing and secondary loop.

2) Check system for any water leaks.

3) Check system for installation of glycol or water treatment where required. Where glycol has been used to maintain the temperature rise across the appliance confirm that the recommended flow for pure water has been increased by 15% and the head loss by 20% while maintaining a 30-35oF rise across the heat exchanger.

Boiler Operational Checks

1) Turn the boiler main power switch to the “ON” position.

2) Verify operation of the text display on the front panel.

3) Program the adjustable points.

4) Push the reset button if a manual reset error is displayed.

5) Install a manometer on the gas supply to the boiler and verify minimum gas supply pressure as the burner fires at 100% of rated input.

6) Verify operation of safeties as necessary (low water cut-off, high limit, gas pressure, etc.).

Boiler Operation

1) Appliance should begin the start-up process for the sequence of operation.

2) The boiler will fire at approximately 50% of rated input on initial start-up and adjust input as required to meet system demand.

3) Based on system demand, the appliance will modulate accordingly.

4) As system demand is satisfied, the burner will fire at minimum fire for the given demand and the boiler will cycle off when the demand ceases or is interrupted. When this occurs the combustion air fan will decelerate at a preprogrammed rate before the appliance shuts down.

12.8 DOMESTIC HOT WATER WITH STORAGE TANK

Hot water heaters are designed for installation with a storage tank. The piping between the tank and heater and the control of water velocity, as explained below, are important for correct operation of your hot water heater.

12.9 DOMESTIC HOT WATER WITH PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER

The piping between the plate heat exchanger in the DynaMax boiler and to an outlet tap is important for correct operation of the plate heat exchanger. The following procedure should be followed for setting the domestic hot water tuning valve:

1) There is a temperature tuning valve inside the Dynamax jacket on the domestic hot water outlet from plate exchanger. This valve can be set for field conditions.

2) First identify the highest domestic hot water load. For example in some cases it may be the bath tub and in some cases it may be the clothes washer.

3) Allow the Dynamax to fire up and reach full fire under maximum hot water load demand conditions.

4) Observe the outlet water temperature and close the tuning valve gradually as outlet temperature starts to drop. Allow the system to reach equilibrium between adjustments to the tuning valve.

5) Once the tuning valve is properly set, outlet temperatures will never drop below desired minimum temperature.

6) Seal stem of tuning valve with silicone to prevent unauthorized tampering.

12.10 TEMPERATURE RISE AT FULL FIRING RATE

1) The pump must run continuously when the burner is

firing.

2) With the pump running and the burner in the off cycle,

the inlet temperature and outlet temperature readings on the DynaMax Control Panel should read approximately the same temperatures.

3) Turn the appliance on and allow time for the

temperature to stabilize. Check the temperature rise when the burner is firing at 100% of rated input.

4) Compare the temperature rise on the Control Panel with

the required temperature rise at the required flow rate on Tables 31 and 32.

5) Should adjustment be needed, proceed as follows:

If the temperature rise is too high, the water velocity is too low. Adjust as follows:

1) Check for flow restrictions. Check for debris in strainers

2) Check diameter and equivalent length of the piping

between the storage tank and hot water heater.

3) Be sure the pipes between the hot water heater and

storage tank are not more than a total of 50 equivalent feet between supply and return lines. If maximum equivalent length for the specified pipe diameter is exceeded, larger diameter pipe may have to be installed to achieve correct flow and temperature rise.

4) Be sure all valves are open between the hot water

heater and the storage tank. Ensure that all ball valves are fully ported.

5) Check the pump to be sure it is running properly and

that the pump motor is running in the proper direction.

6) Common manifold piping for multiple unit installations

will require larger minimum pipe sizes and tank circulating tapping to ensure proper flow.

The required temperature rise and the recommended pump size are based on the heating of potable water with normal hardness within a typical range of 7.5 to 17.0 grains per gallon. Consult the factory when heating potable water exceeding these specifications. Damage to the heat exchanger as a result of scaling or corrosive water conditions in non-warrantable.

Switch Setup

There is a switch located on the backside of the text display. Only the Master Text Display is required to provide power to the Slave boilers, therefore the switch on the backside of the Master display should be in the ON position, and the switch at the Slave displays should be in the OFF position. Figure 59 refers to how the switch is to be placed.

Figure 62: Text Display Switch Setup

Wiring Setup

Refer to Figure 63 for a pictorial description of how to connect the Cascade system together.

Master Boiler The following needs to be done to the Master Text Display:

1) Connect the “To 848MN control” connector to the DynaMax Ignition Control Board (848-MN). This step was done by Camus unless the display was disconnected in the field.

2) Place Switch to the “ON” position

3) Connect the “To next display” connector. This connector serves as the communication point to the next boiler. The “To previous display” connector is to be left empty (no connection required)

12.14 Write Functionality

The DynaMax Ignition module may be only reset when it is in error. Only manual reset errors can be reset by writing 0x4000 to the Reset & R/W control holding register (0x001A) of the Modbus interface (this sets the MN reset bit of the Reset & R/W control holding register) The 848IF then sends a reset command to the DynaMax Ignition Module over the established link.

The Reset & R/W control register of the MN (0x001A) also controls the reading and writing of the DynaMax Ignition Module holding registers. Each bit of the Reset & R/W control register corresponds with one parameter of the Read/Write holding registers table. When a bit in the Reset & R/W control is clear the data in the corresponding holding register byte is fetched from the DynaMax Ignition Module into the 848IF. When a bit in the Reset & R/W control register is set the data in the corresponding holding register byte is sent from the IF to the MN. To set an RC parameter through Modbus first set its bit in the Reset & R/W control register. This stops the parameter being fetched from the MN. Then write the desired value into the parameters holding register. The following table lists the Reset & R/W control bits and corresponding parameters.

1) Issue a Modbus write single holding register command writing 0x0002 to the Reset & R/W control register located at 0x001A to switch from CH set point reading to writing

2) Calculate the scaled set point = (((x-

32)/1.8)+10)*2*256

3) Issue a Modbus write single holding register command writing the scaled calculated set point to the 0x001E holding register

12.14.2 Write DHW Setpoint

1) Issue a Modbus write single holding register command writing 0x001 to the Reset & R/W Control register located at 0x001A to switch from DHW set point reading to writing

2) Calculate the scaled set point = ((x-32)/1.8)+10)*2

3) Issue a Modbus write single holding register command writing the scaled and calculated set point to the 0x001E holding register

NOTE

• Be advised that whenever the MN control is reset, it will revert back to the setpoints stored in the E2Prom. After every MN reset (automatic, through Modbus, via the IF External Reset Input or via the RC reset button) the Modbus controller must make sure that the error condition has been resolved (ERROR_NUMBER = 0xFF) and then re-write the desired setpoints through Modbus

• If the Reset & R/W control register bit of a setpoint is set, the setpoint in the IF is communicated with the MN as long as it differs from the setpoint in the DynaMax Ignition Module. If the setpoint is then changed by means of the Display or LabVision it will again be different from the setpoint in the IF and thus, again be overwritten by the setpoint in the IF. As long as the Reset & R/W control register bit of the setpoint is set the IF overrules all other setpoint settings. Clear the bit in the Reset & R/W Control register to re-enable setting of the setpoint by RC or LabVision

• When no Modbus communication (reading or writing) is sensed for more than 4.25 seconds the R/W control register bits will be reset. The R/W control register bits will be reset. The R/W control register bits will also be reset when undefined bits (ie. other than bits 0 and 1) are set.

• In a cascade system only the setpoints of the MN board connected directly to the IF board can be controlled.

12.15 Alarm Output (if equipped)

This is a feature that is offered on the 848IF. An alarm output is available to signal was sensed in the connected heating system. Once an alarm is signalled by the alarm output it can be reset by means of the External Reset Input. The alarm output is a normally open, dry contact/ potential free output. If an error is sensed in one of the attached boilers the Alarm output contact closes. The output can be used to drive an external device such as a lamp, a buzzer, a PLC or a building management system. Refer to 15.3 848IF Interface Module Wiring Schematic for complete wiring details.

The IF code scans its Modbus holding registers (0x0000, 0x0010...0x0090) for a STATE that is not equal to zero. If a state not equal to 0 (zero) is found the IF subsequently checks for an ERROR_NUMBER not equal to 0xFF to see if this device is in error. If so, the alarm relay is energized and the alarm output contact closes.

The alarm output functionality can be used even if Modbus communication is non-existent.

Due to communication latency it can take several minutes for the Alarm output to reflect the state of any of the connected boilers. Especially in a cascade system and/or when LabVision is connected.

12.16 External Reset (if equipped)

The external reset can be controlled by a relay or pushbutton. If the input is open the resetting of an error is an enabled. Once an error is signalled by the alarm output it can be reset by shorting the external reset input to 0V. A reset command is then sent over to the DynaMax Ignition Module and the external reset is disabled until the input is open again. Refer to 15.3 848IF Interface Module Wiring Schematic for complete wiring details.

12.17 0-10Vdc External Input (if equipped)

An analog input can be used to control the CH or the DHW set point. The input can handle input voltages of up to 10Vdc. A resistor of 500Ω may be added to obtain a 010Vdc input from a 4-20mA signal. Refer to 15.3 848IF Interface Module Wiring Schematic for complete wiring details.

The analog input setting screen is shown below in LabVision:

The ANLG_IN_ENABLE parameter determines whether the analog input is enabled or disabled. The ANLG_IN_ENABLE parameter is set to ‘False’, analog input is disabled, under the following circumstances

• When the ANLG_IN_MODE is set to 0 (off)

• When the input voltage is less than 2V

• From the moment a Modbus write command is

detected until 4.25 minutes after the last Modbus write command was ended. Modbus set point setting has priority over the Analog input set point setting

NOTE

• During commissioning (and when altering the ANLG_IN_MODE setting) the setpoint that is not controlled by the analog (or Modbus) must be checked/ set manually after setting the mode

• If the Analog input is not connected (open) the default input voltage is 2.5V. If the analog input is not to be used it must be disabled by setting ANLG_IN_MODE to

• The analog input and Modbus connection can be used simultaneously but when the Modbus connection is used to set the setpoint the analog input is disabled.

• In a cascade system only the setpoints of the MN board connected directly to the IF board can be controlled.

Note:

1. If a flame signal is detected at the end of the pre-spark period (Ignit_0) then a lockout will occur.

2. If at the end of the safety period (6 sec) no flame is detected the control will go to post-purge to remove the unburned gas. After this a re-ignition attempt is started following the same cycle. The number of re-ignition attempts is limited to 2 after which a lockout occurs.

3. The burner can only be on continuously for a period of 24 hours. After this the burner is switched off and a restart sequence follows.

4. Sparking stops 2 seconds before the end of the Ignit_1 period to allow for ionisation detection when measuring ionisation through the spark plug.

5. If after post_purge_0 time (max. 10 sec.) still flame is detected lockout follows

6. Safety ON/OFF in this state the correct working of the safety relay is proved.

If the ignition cycle is started it will continue until completion, even if the demand is removed.

15.4 FIELD WIRING

All wires being placed into the terminal block should be horizontal for at least an inch to ensure sufficient electrical conductivity.

15.4.1 System Sensor

The temperature of the primary return can be controlled by installing a system sensor. The system sensor must be used in all Cascade modes, and must be enabled through the DynaMax controller or through LabVision.

15.4.2 Cascade Setup

To setup a cascade system a Master boiler must be chosen, and the other boilers connected to it in this system are designated as Slaves.

Connect the system sensor and outdoor sensor (if equipped) to the Master boiler. The Master boiler will use the water temperature in the primary loop to control the operation of the cascade setup. The location of the system sensor should be installed downstream of all the zones in the primary loop. The system sensor is wired into the DynaMax Terminal board as shown in the diagram below.

If outdoor reset is desired, the outdoor sensor needs to be connected to the Outdoor Sensor location on the DynaMax Terminal Board. When the outdoor sensor is connected to the Master boiler, the DynaMax Controller will recognize this automatically and the Master will calculate the water temperature set point based on the Ch_Setpoint Curve. If the outdoor sensor is not connected to the Master boiler the DynaMax Controller will maintain a fixed water temperature that is programmed into the control.

If a Zone Thermostat is available, it needs to be connected to the Room Thermostat terminals on the DynaMax Terminal Board. If the boiler is required to run continuously a jumper cable can be placed between the ‘5’ and ‘6‘ contacts, this will then force a call for heat on the cascade setup.
