Installation Codes
The installation of this unit must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local code,
to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition. Where required by the authority
having jurisdiction, the installation also must conform to the Standards for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1.
For Canada, the installation of this unit must conform to all Canadian local codes as applicable or,
in the absence of local codes, to the Canadian installation code, CAN/CGA-B149, and CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1.
Locating the Gas Fired Boiler
Locate the gas fired boiler as near to the exhaust venting system as practical. Air openings on the front,
back and sides of the boiler housing should not be obstructed since they supply air to the combustion
chamber.
The location of the boiler should be chosen with regard to venting dimensions, convenient access to
piping, ventilation of operating components and accessibility for service and cleaning.
The boiler shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water
(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation and servicing procedures such as pump
replacement, burner cleaning and the like.
When the unit is located in an unconfined space of a building, air infiltration may be adequate to provide
air for combustion and ventilation. Where normal infiltration does not provide the necessary air , outside
air must be introduced.
In buildings of unusually tight construction, or when locating the unit in a confined space, additional air
must be provided. For confined spaces, two (2) permanent openings shall be provided:
One (1) opening within 12" of the ceiling and one (1) within 12" of the floor of the enclosing space.
Each opening shall be at least 1 square inch per 1,000 BTU/HR heater input of the total for all appliances
in the area, but not less than 100 square inches. These openings shall freely connect with areas having
adequate infiltration from outside.
The boiler should be placed beside the Champion dishwasher model that it serves so that all plumbing and
electrical connections between the boiler and the dishwasher can be made per Champion's specifications.
If installed in a finished area, provisions should be made for drainage of any accidental spillage or
leakage of water. The boiler pressure relief valve and back-flow preventor should be piped to a
drain to protect from the occasional discharge of water.

!
WARNING:
Provide a screen or other type of protective barrier around exposed vent pipe to reduce burn
hazards where inadvertent contact with hot vent surfaces by personnel can occur.
Air for Combustion and V entilation
General
An adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation must be supplied in accordance with
Section 5.3 of the National Fuel and Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition or applicable
provisions of the local building codes for gas utilization equipment installed in buildings that
require air for combustion, ventilation, and the dilution of flue gases from within the building.
For Canada, the installation of this unit must conform to all Canadian local codes as applicable or,
in the absence of local codes, to the Canadian installation code, CAN/CGA-B149.
Install the equipment in a location where the ventilation facilitates the satisfactory combustion of
gas, proper venting and maintenance of ambient temperature at safe limits under normal conditions
of use.
Equipment should be located so as not to interfere with proper air circulation.
When normal infiltration does not provide the necessary air, outside air must be introduced.
In addition to air needed for combustion, process air must be provided as required for:
cooling of equipment or material, controlling the dew point, heating, drying, oxidation or dilution, safety
exhaust, odor control, and air for compressors.
In addition to air needed for combustion, ventilation air must also be supplied, including all air required
for comfort and proper working conditions for personnel.
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space (such as an open basement) must have a minimum volume of 50 cubic feet per
1,000 BTU/HR input of the total of all appliances in the area. Adjoining rooms may be counted as one
area only if there are no doors between the rooms.
Air Contaminants
Compounds bearing contaminants such as chloride, fluoride, iodide, and bromide, when present in certain
concentrations in the air supplied for combustion to the boiler, can result in an accelerated and severe
corrosion condition in the heat exchanger and/or the venting systems. Avoid storing or using chemicals
containing these compounds in the vicinity of the boiler if at all possible.
!
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage
the heat exchanger in the boiler.

Vent Installation
General
The CSS-130 gas fired boiler is approved as a Category I Boiler when the following vent
installations are used:
1. Common vent installation
2. Vertical through-the-roof vent installation
3. Masonry chimney vent installation using Type B-1 Double-wall vent.
The CSS-130 is approved as a Category III Boiler when a horizontal through-the-wall vent
installation is used. This installation is a positive pressure venting system and requires that
all connections be sealed with an approved high temperature sealant.
Refer to the specific venting installation section for detailed instructions.
Vent installation must be in compliance with Part 7 "Venting of Equipment", of the
National Fuel Gas Code; ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition, (In Canada, to the Canadian installation code, CAN/CGA-B149), local codes, or ordinances, these instructions, and good
trade practices.
Existing Boiler Removal
When an existing boiler is removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the
venting system is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
Perform the following steps individually with each appliance that remains connected to the
common vent system placed in operation with the other appliances remaining connected to
the common venting system but not in operation.
If improper venting is observed during any of the following tests, the common venting system
must be corrected.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the vent system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine that
there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, and other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows plus all doors between the space
which the appliances remain connected to the common vent system are located and the
other spaces of the building.

Existing Boiler Removal (Cont'd)
4. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance NOT connected to the common vent 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.
5. Follow the lighting instructions of the appliance being tested and place the appliance in
operation. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance operates continuously.
6. After five minutes of main burner operation, test for air spillage at the draft hood relief
opening. Use the flame of a match or candle, or the smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
7. Repeat steps for each appliance connected to the common vent system.
After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common vent
system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return all doors, windows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers, and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.
If necessary the common vent should be re-sized to approach the minimum size as
determined by using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition.
For Canada, the installation of this unit must conform to all Canadian local codes as applicable or,
in the absence of local codes, to the Canadian installation code, CAN/CGA-B149.
The boiler should not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate appliance that is designed
to burn solid fuel.
No portion of the venting system can extend into, or pass through any circulating air duct or plenum.
All vent pipe passing through floors, walls, and ceilings must be installed with the listed clearance to
combustible materials and be fire stopped according to local codes.
Common V enting
Vent connectors serving Category I appliances shall not be connected to any portion of the mechanical
draft systems operating under positive pressure such as Category III or Category IV venting systems.
When two or more vent connectors enter a common gas vent, chimney flue, or a single-wall metal pipe,
the smaller of the connectors shall enter at the highest level consistent with the available headroom or
clearance to combustible material.
Vent connectors shall be firmly attached to draft hood outlets or flue collars by sheet metal screws or
other approved means, except vent connectors of listed Type B-1 vent material (which shall be assembled
in accordance with the vent manufacturer's instructions). Fasten joints between sections of single-wall

Should this happen, turn off main switch. Wait 5 minutes and
turn on main switch again.
4. If burner fails to ignite after three attempts, refer to Troubleshooting Section 2, Service Manual or call service for
troubleshooting.
WARNING: Should any pronounced odor of gas be
detected, or if the gas burner does not appear to be
functionlng in a normal manner, close main shut-off
valve, do NOT shut off switch, and contact your
heating contractor, gas company, or factory
representative.
5. You MUST check flame monitoring control (ignition
system safety shut-off device).
a. Close gas cock with burner operating.
b. In 3 seconds, FLAME indicator light will go out and
blower will continue to run on post purge cycle. Two
additional attempts to light will follow including pre-purge,
igniter on, valve/flame on and post purge. (Ignition will not
occur-gas off).
c. Open gas cock. Switch dishwasher power switch “OFF”
and then "ON" again. Burner should start after about
45 secs. It is recommended that the unit be checked with

6. Check burner input (other equipment off)
a. Measure the time, in seconds, it takes to use one
cubic foot of gas.
b. Divide the number of seconds into 3,600.
c. Multiply the result by the heating value of the gas to
obtain BTU/HR input.
Example: If it takes 36 seconds to use one cubic foot of gas
and the heating value of the gas is 1,000 BTU/CU FT,
(approximate natural gas value).
INPUT = 3,600/36 x 1,000 = 100,000 BTU/HR
Input Ranges
127,400 BTU/HR to 132,600 BTU/HR
Because of the altitude and other minor variations, it is
possible the input will not fall within this range and the gas
orifice must be replaced. See chart in an orifice kit.

INITIAL START -UP AND SERVICE
ADJUSTING BURNER / INPUT
The CSS-130 burner system is a pre-mixed, forced combustion
system. Outside air is drawn through the air orifice (located in
the air induction system) and mixed with the gas drawn in
downstream of the air orifice. The gas is metered through an
orifice located in the gas orifice union. All the air required for
complete combustion comes into the unit in this manner.
Adjusting the input is limited to changing the gas orifice to
achieve the proper input. The air orifice cannot be altered and
the gas valve pressure setting cannot be changed.
Before changing the gas orifice to correct input, service
representatives should make the following checks:
1. The pressure on the inlet side of the gas valve is
between 4" and 14" water column.
2. The pressure on the outlet side (manifold) of the gas
valve and “T” above air orifice is between -0.05"
and -0.35" water column with the unit operating.
To increase the input, install larger diameter gas orifice.
Each size will change the input approximately 5 C. F. H.
Once the correct input has been achieved, the burner should
be checked with an oxygen (0
analyzer.
The unit should be in operation 5 minutes before adjusting
input or taking C0
or 02 readings. This time will allow for
2
preheating of the intake air.
Insert the probe of the 0
through the vent terminal. If C0
readings should be between 8.0 and 8.5 for natural gas and
9.0 and 9.8% for propane. If 02 is being measured, the
readings should be between 7 and 6.
Measuring C0
*
2
When operating on natural gas, readings below 8.0 generally
indicate a lean mixture (not enough gas). Readings above
9.25 generally indicate a rich mixture (too much gas). Inputs
should be increased or decreased to correct lean or rich
mixtures.
NOTE: If the mixture is very rich (not enough air for
complete combustion), it is possible to get low readings on a
C0
analyzer. This situation does not occur often but it can be
2
detected if reading continues to go lower as the input is
increased. If this condition is suspected, a CO test should be

CLEANING COMBUSTION CHAMBER COIL
1. Turn off electric and gas supplies and remove the jacket
2. Remove the vent assembly and top cover.
3. Remove the top half of the combustion chamber by
removing the 3 screws and nuts that clamp the top half to
the bottom half. Remove the clamp on the air orifice hose
and the two clear plastic lines connected to the “T” on the
air induction elbow.
4. Remove the top insulator cap by spreading the retainer.
5. Remove the igniter.
6. Clean the finned tubing with a wire brush and vacuum all
loose material from the combustion chamber.
7. Replace all parts in the reverse order in which they were
removed.
8. Restart the unit as indicated by the lighting instruction
label.
UNIT PUMP
The unit pump operates whenever there is a call for heat or
hot water.
It is a wetted-rotor type pump and should always be filled with
water when it is operating so that it will cool properly.
If a pump change is required for any reason, close gas valve
and drain water from the unit. Turn off the main disconnect
switch and unplug the pump wires, remove the pump motor.
The pump housing need not be removed. The replacement
pump motor should be installed in the reverse order from
which the old pump motor was removed. After filling the
system be sure to bleed the coil at coil bleed petcock.
NOTE: If the pump motor is not defective the pump cartridge
alone may be changed.
GAS VALVE
The gas valve is a solenoid operated, negative pressure
regulated valve. The outlet pressure is regulated at -0.2”w.c.
It is designed to operate with supply pressures
of 4-14” w.c. Within that range of supply pressures, the
regulated discharge pressure may vary from -0.05” to
-0.35” inches w.c. The regulator is not adjustable and the
effect of this variation in discharge pressure is not significant.
Because of the fixed regulator setting, gas flow must be
adjusted by changing the gas orifice.
To remove the gas valve, shut off 120 volt power and the
master gas cock in gas line, loosen the nut on the gas orifice
union and remove the orifice union plus piping to the gas valve.
Disconnect the wires from the gas valve. The valve may now
be unscrewed from the inlet piping. After the valve has been
removed, replace with a new valve in the reverse order in which
the old valve was removed. Do not over tighten the fittings into
the valve body as this may cause damage to the valve.
NOTE: When fueled by LP gas, the CSS-130 performs best
with 9-10” w.c. supply pressure. If no other appliances are
being supplied by the LP supply set the low pressure regulator
to 9-10” w.c.

INITIAL START -UP AND SERVICE
SAFETY LIMIT SWITCH
The Safety Limit Switch has a fixed set point at 240°F. It will
reset automatically.
To replace the switch, shut off the 120 volt power and close
gas valve, drain water from the heater and remove the nut
which holds the safety limit bulb in the heater discharge fitting.
Remove the bulb from the fitting and remove the 2 screws which
hold the switch assembly to the electrical control box. Disconnect the 2 wires from the quick connects at switch and remove
the safety limit assembly. To replace, perform the same
operations in reverse. Push the sensing bulb as far into the
fitting as possible before tightening sealing nut. No more than
1/2" of sensing bulb should be visible after installation. Fill the
heater and be sure to bleed the coil at the coil bleed petcock.
Turn on disconnect switch and check heater operation.
OPERATING CONTROL
The Operating Control maintains boiler discharge temperature
between 180-199°F . It has a fixed set point of 210°F at the
output of the burner and a differential of 30°F. If replacement is
necessary, shut off the 120 volt power and disconnect the wires
to the sensor. Valve off and drain water from the unit and
remove sensor. Install new sensor, refill heater and bleed coil at
coil bleed petcock. Check boiler operation after installation of
new Operating Control. Its contacts open at 210°F and they
reclose at 180°F.
IGNITER
The igniter is a “glow bar” type silicon carbide unit. It is
energized whenever there is a call for heat and the red
“IGNITER” light on the heater control is lit. After the igniter is
switched off and the heater continues to run, the igniter
functions as a flame sensor for the heater control.
If the igniter fails and must be replaced, always install a new
igniter gasket with the replacement igniter.
CAUTION: Ignitor gets hot.
BLOWER
The Combustion Air Blower is a high head centrifugal blower.
It is designed to provide about 2" w.c. of suction at 30 CFM.
This performance is necessary to operate the gas valve
reliably, to overcome induction system friction losses and to
eliminate any sensitivity to wind striking the vent terminal. It is
powered by a 120 volt motor which draws about 1.3 amps at
rated load. It is powered by the integrated heater control
whenever there is a call for heat and 30 seconds thereafter. If
a blower change is required, turn off the 120 volt power and
unplug the power wires from the blower motor. Remove the
three nuts from the blower discharge flange and the four nuts
from the blower inlet flange. The blower may now be deflected
enough to permit its removal. Install the new blower using new
gaskets, in the reverse order from which the old blower was
removed. The four inlet flange nuts, however, should only be
finger tight initially and then tighten with a wrench after all
other operations have been completed. The combustion should
be checked for correct air-fuel ratio whenever the blower is
replaced (see Burner Adjustment).
HEATER CONTROL
The Integrated Heater Control Module controls the combustion
process, the gas valve, the igniter, the blower, the unit pump
and the system circulator. It provides blower pre-purge as well
as burner flame sensing. When replacing the heater control
turn off disconnect switch and press in tabs on each end of
plugs to remove from control. All plugs are color coded and it
is not possible to miswire the control.
STACK SWITCH
The Stack Switch is a normally open single pole switch which
is operated by the pressure difference across the air orifice.
It is set to close when a static pressure difference of 1” w.c. is
generated by the combustion air blower. Its function is to prove
airflow and to inhibit burner operation in the event of flue or
chimney stoppage. The switch is wired directly to the heater
control. It is located behind the front panel, and is attached to
the left-hand control cabinet support bracket.
PRESSURE SWITCH
The Differential Pressure Switch is a normally open single pole
switch which is designed to detect pump operation, water flow
and operate as a low water cut off device. To replace, turn off
electrical power & boiler feed water. Valve off and drain water
from the heater, unplug wires from the switch and remove
switch. Install new switch in reverse order. Refill heater and
bleed air from the coil bleed petcock. Turn on electrical power
and recycle system
TRANSFORMER
The control transformer accepts 120 VAC power and provides
40 VA of 24 VAC power for the heater control only.
32
STORAGE TANK
The Storage Tank contains approximately 10 gallons of
heater water. It functions as an energy storage vessel to
reduce heater cycling.
TIME DELAY RELAY (TDR)
The Time Delay Relay controls the unit pump and keeps it
operating for approximately one minute after the blower post
purge stops. Control voltage on the TDR is 24 volts from the
limit circuit. The contacts to supply pump power are 120 VAC.
They delay on open one minute after the 24 volt control voltage
is interrupted. Turn off disconnect switch before changing TDR.
Page 39
INITIAL START -UP AND SERVICE
DELAYED IGNITION
Possible Causes - Time of occurrence
a. High lockups on LP - occurs on start-up.
b. Gas valve regulation problem - occurs on start-up.
c. Defective burner (flameholder) - occurs primarily
on burner shutdown
d. Natural gas orifice in LP unit- occurs on startup
a). High lock up pressures on LP fuel systems are the most
common cause of delayed ignitions on CSS-130 heaters.
The high LP supply pressure results from improper second
stage regulator selection or a faulty regulator.
It can be detected by measuring the gas supply pressure to
the unit at the inlet pressure tap on the gas valve. Use a
water manometer or pressure gauge with a scale reading of
at least 25” w.c. Install the pressure tap in the 1/8” NPTF
plugged port located above the gas inlet port on the gas
valve. The gas supply to the heater must be shut off before
making this connection. The CSS-130 heater is designed to
operate with supply pressures of 4-14” w.c. If supply
pressure exceeds 14” w.c. with the heater not operating it is
likely that this is the cause of the delayed ignition. Lock up
pressures must be measured when the heater is not
operating and preferably immediately after heater shutdown
b). Gas valve regulation problems can also cause delayed
ignitions. To detect gas valve regulation problems it is
necessary to have an inclined manometer or a Magnehelic
pressure gauge. The normal gas valve regulator setting is
-0.2” w.c. It is measured between the 1/8" NPTF plugged
port marked PRESS TAP on the gas valve and the barbed
fitting above the air orifice coupling.
The pressure will be about -2.5” w.c. when the blower
is running (prepurge) before the gas valve opens. When
the gas valve is energized and the solenoid opens the
pressure should rise to - 0.2” w.c. This should happen
smoothly without allowing the pressure to go positive
(above 0” w.c.). If the pressure spikes positive when the
solenoid opens then the gas valve regulator is faulty and
may be the cause of the delayed ignition (assuming inlet
tested OK).
NOISY OPERATION
There are two principal sources of noisy operation:
a. Combustion - high pitched noise - whistle or hoot
b. Boiling (kettling) - lower frequency noise which
varies with temperature - moan.
a). Combustion noise occurs at any boiler discharge
temperature and is heard the loudest at the flue outlet (especially on units with side wall venting). There are two basic
causes for the noise, rich mixture and cross contamination.
To check for a rich mixture, it will be necessary to measure the
percent 0
4-1/2% or CO
10.8% (LP) will often cause combustion noise. To eliminate the
noise it will be necessary to install a smaller gas orifice so that
the 0
(natural) or 10.8% (LP).
Sometimes the readings are influenced by cross contamination
and a check for cross contamination should be done before
changing orifices if it is suspected. A strong smell from the
flue products is generally an indication. Check for cross
contamination using the procedure listed in the index. If
there is no cross contamination, reorificing should be done.
b). Boiling (kettling) may occur at heater discharge
temperatures from 170°F to 210°F. The temperature at which
it starts will vary from one installation to another. The primary
cause of the problem is poor heat transfer on the inside of the
heater coil. This may be caused by scaling from the heater
water if no antifreeze is present.
Many times it is difficult to determine if the noise is combustion
or boiling related. The best clue is when in the cycle the noise
appears and if its frequency changes with heater discharge
temperature. Combustion noises always have the same
frequency, however, their volume may change from the time
that the burner first fires to the time that it shuts off. Boiling
noises have a frequency that varies with boiler discharge
temperature and sometimes they will disappear completely at
higher temperatures just before the heater goes off on limit.
Vibration of the heater pressure gauge needle may also occur
with boiling noises.
or CO2 in the flue products. 02 readings lower than
2
readings higher than 9-1/4% (natural gas) and
2
will rise above 4-1/2% or the CO2 will drop to 9-1/4%

c). A defective burner (flameholder) can cause a delayed
ignition however not often. If the gas supply pressure and
the gas valve are functioning properly and the air and gas
orifices are correct the burner should be inspected. To
inspect, remove the blower and the burner will drop out of
the bottom of the chamber. There should be no perforations
other than the punched holes. When replacing the burner the
insulating pad must be on the top of it. If none was on the
burner when it was removed check to see if it fell off during
burner removal and has stayed in the combustion chamber.
Never leave an insulating pad lying in the combustion
chamber as this can cause burner overheating and
perforation.

Page 40
INITIAL START -UP AND SERVICE
INSUFFICIENT HOT WATER
Possible Cause:
a. Low limit failure
b. Coil contamination
a). Failure of the low limit to operate within its normal
calibration points will have the same effect as incorrect
system circulator wiring.
b). Coil scaling may occur in some areas of the country
where there are high concentrations of minerals in the
water. These minerals may cause fouling of the domestic
hot water coil over an extended period of time (lime build
up) or they may in rare instances cause a problem in less
than a year of operation. The minerals which react quickly
(mostly magnesium) in well systems cause a slime on the
inside of the coil which prevents adequate heat transfer.
These minerals must be filtered out by a special incoming
water filter or inhibited to protect the coil and also to provide
acceptable water quality. The minerals contained in public
water systems which accumulate in the coil over long
periods of time may be removed when necessary by
flushing the coil with cleaner. These products are also
effective in cleaning a coil that is fouled by magnesium.
Flush entire system thoroughly after demineralizing
process. Failure to do so will result in contaminated
rinse water and severely shorten unit life.
HIGH GAS CONSUMPTION
SEE ALSO CROSS CONTAMINATION
Improper burner operation caused by incorrect air/fuel ratio
(C0
or 02 out of the specified range) will cause high gas
2
consumption. It is most noticeable on LP fired units with low
C02 or high 02, however, units operating on LP or natural gas
with incorrect air/fuel ratios will not provide their best efficiency. If no combustion analyzing equipment (C0
available an indication of the air/fuel ratio can be gotten by
briefly sniffing the flue gases. When running properly the
CSS-130's flue gases should have little smell. If they have a
strong piercing smell the gas orifice is probably too small. Do
not attempt to do reorificing without an 0
or C02 kit.

SHORT CYCLING
SEE ALSO CROSS CONTAMINATION
The result of low flow is very rapid temperature rise in the
heater. Sometimes the rise is so fast that the operating
control will not operate before the safety limit operates. The
heater will lockout and can only be restarted by resetting the
manual reset button on the safety limit switch. (Where
applicable.) If the on cycles are at least 1-1/2 minutes long
then the short cycling will not be a problem .
CROSS CONTAMINATION AND COMBUSTION
RELATED SHORT CYCLING
UNITS INSTALLED WITH QUICK VENT
Heater short cycling, nuisance lockouts and objectionable
flue gas orders, may be caused by leakage of flue
products into the combustion air stream. This results from
poorly sealed joints in the inner (3") pipe. The symptom
of this problem is continual restarts without a lockout
occurring. The “VALVE/FLAME” light will be on for only a
short time (but more than 6 seconds) before the post
purge starts. This condition is generally seen on new
installations; however, it is possible that a poorly assembled flue pipe could come apart and cause the same
effect. Cross contamination can best be detected with a
C0
analyzer (Bacharach® kit for example). Remove the
2
stack switch tube from the “tee” fitting above the air
orifice and connect the sampling tube of the analyzer to
the "tee”. Run heater and check C0
measurable C02, cross contamination exists somewhere
in the flue system. If the heater will not operate long
enough to get a C0
sample it is possible to check for
2
cross contamination in another way. Loosen the top
clamp on the air duct coupling and remove the gas
balance line from the “tee fitting”. Lift up the air induction
elbow and twist it to the side so that air from the space
around the heater can be drawn into the air duct coupling
(do not disturb the air orifice in the coupling). Cover the
air induction elbow with your hand or plug it with a rag
and restart the heater. If no short cycling occurs there is
a leak in the 3" flue pipe which must be corrected. Do not
leave the heater operating in this manner. Re-assemble
the air duct after removing plug (rag) and connect the
balance line and stack switch tubes. Disassemble flue
and fix leak.

LOCKOUTS

e.Boiler Control Malfunction
f. Control Contact Failure

2). Operating Control
g.Failure of Air Source
h.Igniter Failure
a.) If cross contamination is suspected see “Cross
Contamination” and check for it. One percent C0
in the air
2
duct can cause nuisance lockouts.
b.) Moisture in the combustion chamber will also cause lock-
outs by weakening the flame signal to the heater control. It
should be suspected if the heater temperature does not rise
above 160°F during long periods of operation. This condition
can be caused by an improperly wired system circulator. On
sidewall vented units moisture can get into the combustion
chamber from a flue pipe that is pitched incorrectly (back toward
the heater without a condensate trap). Quick Vented systems
should always pitch down from the heater.
c.) A defective gas valve (one that doesn't always open
properly) can cause a nuisance lockout however, occurrences
like this are rare.
d). A more common cause of nuisance lockouts is poor
combustion. If there is an odor in the flue gases, this should
be suspected. Check C0
or 02 to determine if combustion is
2
within limits. Poor combustion causes a weak flame signal to
the burner control and lockouts may result.
e). If combustion is within limits and none of the causes
mentioned above seems to be the cause of the lockout it is
possible that the heater control may be defective.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
On a call for heat from the tank thermostat on the CSS-130, the pump operates and the boiler control is energized through the
operating control, pressure switch and the safety limit. It checks to ensure that the stack switch contacts are open and then energizes
the blower. The blower starts and the air pressure increases until the stack switch contacts close and the red “PURGE” light lights. The
pump and blower continue to run and for 15 seconds the red “PURGE” light stays on. Following that the red “PURGE” light goes out,
the red “igniter” light lights and the igniter heats for 20 seconds. At the end of the 20 seconds the red “VALVE\FLAME” light is lit and
the gas valve is energized. For 2 seconds the valve and igniter are energized and burner will ignite. Following this the igniter is deenergized and the red “IGNITER” light goes out. The pump and blower continue to run and the burner operates under the supervision of
the boiler control. If for any reason the full sequence is completed and the burner doesn't ignite, the sequence will be repeated after a
blower “on” time of 45 seconds (30 seconds post purge and 15 seconds prepurge for the next cycle). During this part of the sequence
the igniter remains on for 30 seconds and the balance of the sequence is unchanged. If no ignition occurs again a third cycle will follow
with the same sequence as the second. After the third “trial for ignition” if the burner does not ignite the system will “lockout” and reset
can only be accomplished by momentarily switching the power off. At the end of a heating cycle after the gas valve is de-energized, the
blower will continue to run for a 30 second post purge. If normal burner operation during a heating cycle is interrupted by any of the limit
controls the unit pump will continue to run and the blower will continue to operate for a 30 second post purge.
TROUBLESHOOTING (DETAILED FLOW CHARTS ON PAGES 20-26).
If the burner “lockout” for any reason the cause of failure will be displayed by the flashing of one of the lights.
