DO NOT OPERATE, SERVICE, OR REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT UNLESS YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL.
DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO OPERATE, SERVICE, OR REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT UNLESS THEY FUL­LY UNDERSTAND ALL APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
TO: Owners, Operators and/or Maintenance Personnel This operating manual presents information that will help to properly operate and care for the equipment. Study its contents
carefully. The unit will provide good service and continued operation if proper operating and maintenance instructions are fol­lowed. No attempt should be made to operate the unit until the principles of operation and all of the components are thoroughly understood. Failure to follow all applicable instructions and warnings may result in severe personal injury or death.
It is the responsibility of the owner to train and advise not only his or her personnel, but the contractors' personnel who are ser­vicing, repairing or operating the equipment, in all safety aspects.
Cleaver-Brooks equipment is designed and engineered to give long life and excellent service on the job. The electrical and mechanical devices supplied as part of the unit were chosen because of their known ability to perform; however, proper oper­ating techniques and maintenance procedures must be followed at all times. Although these components afford a high degree of protection and safety, opera tion of equipment is not to be considered free from al l dangers and hazards inherent in handling and firing of fuel.
Any "automatic" features included in the design do not relieve the attendant of any responsibility. Such features merely free him of certain repetitive chores and give him more time to devote to the proper upkeep of equipment.
It is solely the operator’ s responsibility to properly operate and maintain the equipment. No amount of written instructions can replace intelligent thinking and reasoning and this manual is not intended to relieve the operating personnel of the responsibility for proper operation. On the other hand, a thorough understanding of this manual is required before attempting to operate, main­tain, service, or repair this equipment.
Because of state, local, or other applicable codes, there are a variety of electric controls and safety devices which vary consid­erably from one boiler to another. This manual contains information designed to show how a basic burner operates.
Operating controls will normally function for long periods of time and we have found that some operators become lax in their daily or monthly testing, assuming that normal operation will continue indefinitely. Malfunctions of controls lead to uneco­nomical operation and damage and, in most cases, these conditions can be traced directly to carelessness and deficiencies in testing and maintenance.
It is recommended that a boiler room log or record be maintained. Recording of daily, weekly , monthly and yearly maintenance activities and recording of any unusual operation will serve as a valuable guide to any necessary investigation.
Most instances of major boiler damage are the result of operation with low water. We cannot emph asize too strongly the need for the operator to periodically check his low water controls and to follow good maintenance and testing practices. Cross-con­necting piping to low water devices must be internally inspected periodically to guard against any stoppages which could ob­struct the free flow of water to the low water devices. Float bowls of these controls must be inspected frequently to check for the presence of foreign substances that would impede float ball movement.
The waterside condition of the pressure vessel is of extreme importance. Waterside surfaces should be inspected frequently to check for the presence of any mud, sludge, scale or corrosion.
The services of a qualified water treating company or a water consultant to recommend the proper boiler water treating practices are essential.
The operation of this equipment by the owner and his or her operating personnel must comply with all requirements or regula­tions of his insurance company and/or other authority having jurisdiction. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between such requirements and the warnings or instructions contained herein, please contact Cleaver-Brooks before proceeding.

Clean combustion air is required for optimum efficiency and boiler operation. Dust and airborne contaminants will adversely effect burner performance. If conditions dictate, a serviceable filter must be placed in the intake piping to eliminate airborne contamination to the burner. An optional air filter is available from Cleaver-Brooks. Additionally, if a direct vent combustion air intake vent is used the intake should be directed to eliminate rain or snow from entering the intake piping. The boiler must be installed so that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, etc.) during appliance operation and service.

E. GAS CONNECTIONS
1. General
The ClearFire Series CFC gas fired condensing boilers are full modulating input units that require appropriate gas supply pressure and volume for proper operation. The gas requirements specified in this section must be satisfied to ensure efficient and stable combustion. Installation must follow these guidelines and those of any local authorities having installation jurisdiction.
2. Gas Train Components
CFC boilers are equipped with a gas train that meets the requirements of CSA and ASME CSD-1, and also the requirements of FM and GE-GAP (formerly IRI). The gas train and its components have been designed and tested to operate for the highest combustion efficiency for the CFC units.
3. Gas Pressure Requirements
For proper and safe operation, each CFC Series boiler requires a stable gas pressure input. See Table 2-1 for pressure requirements.
2-10 Part No. 750-263
Table 2-1: Gas Pressure
NOTE: The pressure test port is
located at the gas valve inlet flange (see Figure 2-11). The remaining try-cocks are for leak test purposes and should not be used to measure gas pressure. Refe r to

The inlet supply pressure must be as noted in Table A when firing the boiler at low fire and high fire. Actual gas pressure should be measured when the burner is firing using a manometer at the upstream test port connection on the main gas valve. For a multiple unit installation, gas pressure should be set for a single unit first, then the remaining units should be staged on to ensure that gas pressure drop is not more than 1" w .c. and never below the required pressure. Fluctuating gas pressure readings could be indicative of a faulty supply regulator or improper gas train size to the boiler.
4. Gas Piping
CFC units are not standardly equipped with an upstream gas pressure regulator. Therefore, a regulator must be installed at each CFC unit. Do not use a common regulator to regulate pressure for a multiple unit installation. Note: Gas connection is at the rear of the boiler, lef t hand side as you face the rear of the boiler.
If local code permits, a flexible connection can be used between the gas line and gas valve. This will enable the burner door to be opened without disconnecting the gas line.
The regulator for each boiler must be installed with at least 2 feet of pipe between the regulator and the boiler gas train connection. The discharge range of the regulator must be able to maintain gas pressures as noted in Table A.
For buildings or boiler rooms with gas supply pressure exceeding 28" w .c. a "full lock-up" type regulator is required as well as overpressure protection (e.g. relief valve).
In addition to the regulator, a plug type or "butterball” type gas shutoff cock should be installed upstream of the regulator for use as a service valve. This is also required to provide positi ve shutoff and isolate the unit during gas piping tests.
If necessary a strainer should be installed upstream of the regulator to remove debris from the gas supply.
Drip legs are required on any vertical piping at the gas supply to each boiler so that any dirt, weld slag, or debris can deposit in the drip leg rather than into the boiler gas train. The bottom of the drip leg should removable without disassembling any gas piping. The connected piping to the boiler should be supported from pipe
Part No. 750-263 2-11

valve
Section 2 — Installation
!
Caution
supports and not supported by the boiler gas train or the bottom of the drip leg. Do not pipe across the top of the boiler as the burner swings up for service and must have proper clearance.
All gas piping and components to the boiler gas train connection must comply with NFPA 54, local codes, and utility requirements as a minimum. Only gas approved fittings, valves, or pipe should be used. Standard industry practice for gas piping is normally Schedule 40 black iron pipe and fittings.
Before starting the unit(s) all piping must be cleaned of all debris to prevent its entrance into the boiler gas train. Piping should be tested as noted in NFPA 54 and the boiler must be isolated during any tests.
After initial startup, the inlet screen to the gas valve should be checked and cleaned of any debris buildup.
See Figure 2-12 for a typical piping configuration.
The boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The boiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
5. Gas Supply Pipe Sizing
For proper operation of a single unit or a multiple unit installation, we recommend that the gas pipe sizing be sized to allow no more than 0.3" w.c. pressure drop from the source (gas header or utility meter] to the final unit location. The gas supplier (utility) should be consulted to confirm that sufficient volume and normal pressure are provided to the building at the discharge side of the gas meter or supply pipe.
For installations of new boilers into an existing building, gas pressure should be measured with a manometer to ensure sufficient pressure is available. A survey of all connected gas-using devices should be made. If appliances other than the boiler or boilers are connected to the gas supply line, then a determination must be made of how much flow volume (cfh) will be demanded at one time and the pressure drop requirement when all appliances are firing.
The total length of gas piping and all fittings must be considered when sizing the gas piping. Total equivalent length should be calculated from the utility meter or source to the final unit connection. As a minimum guideline, gas piping tables 2-2 through 2-6 should be used. The data in these tables is from the NFPA 54 source book, 2006 edition.
2-12 Part No. 750-263
T o verify the input of each device that is connected to the gas piping, obtain the btu/hr input and divide this input by the calorific value of the gas that will be utilized. For instance, a unit with 750,000 btu/ hr input divided by a gas calorific value of 1060 will result in a cfh flow of 707. The single boiler is approximately 20 feet from the gas supply header source. And with a measured gas supply pressure of 10" w.c. we find from Ta b le 2 -2 that a supply pipe size of 1-1/4" should be used as a minimum.

6. Gas Header
Design of a single common gas header with individual takeoffs for a multiple unit installation is recommended . Boiler gas manifold piping should be sized based on the volume requirements and lengths between boilers and the fuel main header (see Figure 2-12).
Tables 2-7 to 2-12 indicate the proper sizing for multiple units of equal size, placed on the factory standard center with the noted take off size. For installations with a mixed sized use, determine the flow of each unit and total the input. With the total input, determine length of run from the source and determine what size header will be needed for the flow of all units firing. Pipe sizes based on Table 2-2.

F. BOILER WATER PIPING
1. General
All boiler hot water outlet and return piping is connected at the rear of the boiler. Piping is to be installed per local codes and regulations.The pipelines for the hot water outlet and return may be connected in the usual manner without removing the cladding elements. Unused connectors must be safely blanked off.
2. Water Temperature Sensors
Fast en the return water temperature sensor to the lower return pipe with a hose clamp and cover with insulation (see Figure 2-13). Install the outlet temperature sensor in the hot water outlet thermowell (see Figure 2-14).
3. Safety Valve
Pressure relief valve (Safety Valve) should be piped from the air vent piping or hot water outlet pipe (see Figure 2-15). Use pipe sealing compound and a flat sided wrench when securing the Safety relief valve. Do not use a pipe wrench and do not over tighten the relief valve. The safety valve must be mounted in a vertical position so that discharge piping and code-required drains can be properly piped to prevent buildup of back pressure and accumulation off oreign material around the valve seat area. Apply only a moderate amount of pipe compound to male threads and avoid overtightening, which can distort the seats. Use only flat-jawed wrenches on the flats provided.
Only properly certified personnel such as the safety valve manufacturer ’s cer tified representative should adjust or repair the boiler safety valve. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious personal injury or death.

G.CONDENSATE REMOVAL AND TREATMENT
The condensate generated during normal boiler operation must be removed in accordance with local codes and regulations. The condensate can be piped to a local treatment system or run into the optional condensate treatment assembly. Regardless of the method used, a trap (Fig ure 2- 27) must be installed on the condensate outlet to prevent discharge of the flue gases from the boiler.
Section 2 — Installation
H.CONDENSATE TANK INSTALLATION
A boiler condensate collection tank or gravity drain is required. The condensation piping must incorporate a water trap approved by the local authorities. The water trap must be filled with water prior to commissioning and checked or refilled at each required maintenance interval. The water trap is required to prevent discharge of flue gases into the boiler room.
The condensate occurring during operation in both the boiler and the flue gas pipeline has to be neutralized and piped to a safe drain. The conditions for the discharge of condensates into public drain systems are determined by the local authorities and municipalities.
The responsible authority will inform you of any requirements for raising the pH value from 4.3 to the frequently prescribed higher value. The CFC neutralization system contains the granulate NEUTRALAT which comprises natural components and brings about an increase in pH of the condensate flowing through it. The neutralization system comprises the plastic neutralization tank with condensate inlet, a base screen plate, filter mat, granulate chamber and condensate outlet (see Figure 2-28). The system is installed in the CFC lower collection area.

1. Condensate Tank Setup Options
The boiler is supplied with boiler legs (standard) which are sized to permit the installation of the condensate collection tank. There are two (2) condensate tank styles available:
(1) The condensate is piped directly to a drain through the piping and water trap supplied during installation (see Figure 2-29).
(2) The condensate is held in a condensate tank under the boiler. The condensate is neutralized as it passed through the granular bed. The neutralized condensate is then piped to the drain (see
Figure 2-30).
2.
Condensate Take-off and Neutralization
To ensure compliance with regulations, it is important to contact the responsible authorities prior to the planning and execution of the boiler installation. Condensate flow of 5 to 12 GPH can be expected depending on boiler size and return water temperature.

A.VENTING CONNECTIONS - GENERAL
1. Appliance Categories
Proper installation of flue gas exhaust venting is critical for the efficient and safe operation of the CFC boiler.
Definition of Appliance Categories Boilers are divided into four categories based on the pressure and
temperature produced in the exhaust stack and the likelihood of condensate production in the vent.
• Category I. A boiler which operates with a non-positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.
• Category II. A boiler which operates with a non-positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.
• Category III. A boiler which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.
For additional information on boiler categorization, see appropriate ANSI Z21 Standard and the latest edition Standard of National Fuel Gas Code or in Canada, the latest edition of CSA Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment, or applicable provisions of local building codes.
• Category IV . A boiler which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.
The Model CFC boiler is rated as a Categor y IV boil er according to ANSI Z21.13. Depending on the application, the specifying engineer may dictate alternative category flue venting as deemed appropriate.
Contact the manufacturer of the vent material if there is any question about the boiler categorization and suitability of a vent material for application on a Category III or IV vent system. Using improper venting materials can result in personal injury, death or property damage.
During winter months check the vent cap and make sure no blockage occurs from build up of snow. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked flue condition.
2. Vent Stack
The vent should be supported to maintain proper clearances from combustible materials.
Use insulated vent pipe spacers where the vent passes through combustible roofs and walls.

3. Vent Terminal Location
Give special attention to the location of the vent termination to avoid possibility of property damage or personal injury.
Figure 3-1 Horizontal flue thru-wall stack and intake
1. Combustion gases can form a white vapor plume in the winter. The plume could obstruct a window view if the termination is installed in close proximity to windows.
2. Prevailing winds could cause freezing of condensate and water/ ice buildup on building, plants or roof.
3. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake shall be located at least 24 inches above grade, including normal snow line.
4. Un-insulated single-wall metal vent pipe shall not be used outside in cold climates for venting combustion gas.
5. Through-the-wall vents for Categor y II and IV appliances and non-categorized condensing appliances shall not terminate over public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the operation of other equipment. Where local experience indicates that condensate is a problem with Category III appliances, this provision shall also apply.
6. Locate and guard vent termination to prevent accidental contact by people and pets.
7. DO NOT terminate vent in window well, alcove, stairwell or other recessed area, unless previously approved by local authority.
8. DO NOT terminate above any door , window, or gravity air intake. Condensate can freeze causing ice formations.

9. Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate from damaging exterior finishes. Use a 2' x 2' rust resistant sheet metal backing plate against brick or masonry surfaces.
10. DO NOT extend exposed stack pipe outside of building. In winter conditions condensate could freeze and block stack pipe.
11. Multiple direct stack installations require a four (4) foot clearance between the stack caps, center to center.
Figure 3-2 Horizontal flue thru-wall stack and intake
U.S. Installations- Refer to latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code.
Vent termination requirements are as follows:
1. Vent must terminate at least four (4) feet below, four (4) feet horizontally , or one (1) foot above any door , window or gravity air inlet to the building.
2. The vent must not be less than seven (7) feet above grade when located adjacent to public walkways.
3. Terminate vent at least three (3) feet above any forced air inlet located within ten (10) feet.

• The verandah, porch or deck is fully open on a minimum of two sides beneath the floor.
• The distance between the top of the vent termination and the underside of the verandah, porch or deck is greater than 1 ft. (30cm)
Note: For direct vent installations where the air is piped in
from outside, a protective screen on the air inlet termination elbow must be used to act as an inlet screen.
Examine the venting system at least once a year Check all joints and vent pipe connections for tightness, corrosion or deterioration.
Venting Installation Tips
Support piping:
• Horizontal runs- at least every five (5) feet.
• Vertical runs - use braces:
• Under or near elbows
Follow items listed below to avoid personal injury or property damage.
• Cut nonmetallic vent pipe with fine-toothed hacksaw (34 teeth per inch).
• Do not use nonmetallic vent pipe or fittings that are cracked or damaged.
• Do not use nonmetallic vent fittings if they are cut or altered.
• Do not drill holes, or use screws or rivets, in nonmetallic vent pipe or fittings.

2. The stack vent is to be insulated through the length of the horizontal run.
2. Horizontal Thru-Wall Stack Vent Termination
The stack vent cap MUST be mounted on the exterior of the building. The stack vent cap cannot be installed in a well or below grade. The stack vent cap must be installed at least one (I) foot above ground level and above normal snow levels.
Multiple stack vent caps should be installed in the same horizontal plane with a three (3) foot clearance from the side of one stack cap to the side of the adjacent stack vent cap(s).
Multiple direct stack vent caps MUST NOT be installed with one combustion air inlet directly above a stack vent cap. This vertical spacing would allow the flue products from the stack vent cap to be pulled into the combustion air intake installed above. This type of installation can cause non warrantable problems with components and poor operation of the unit due to the recirculation of flue products.
If the boiler is vented directly out through the sidewall with no elbows and less than 6 feet of vent pipe, a restricted direct vent cap should be utilized.
Combustion air supplied from outside must be free of particulate and chemical contaminants. T o avoid a blocked flue condition, keep all the vent caps clear of snow, ice, leaves, debris, etc.
No substitutions of flue pipe or vent cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.
The Stainless Steel direct vent cap must be furnished in accordance with AGA/CSA requirements.

4. Lockouts and Alerts
The CB Falcon implements two kinds of faults: lockouts and alerts. Lists of fault codes and alerts can be found in Appendix A, CB
Falcon Hydronic Control.
LOCKOUT
• A lockout causes the boiler control to shutdown and requires manual or remote reset to clear the lockout.
• Always causes alarm contacts to close.
• Logged in lockout history.
ALERT
• Every other kind of problem that isn't a lockout is an alert. Examples include boiler control abnormal conditions, LL master problems, faults from non-safety functions, etc.
• Alerts never require manual intervention to reset them; that is, if the alert clears up, then normal operation will continue.
Chapter 4 — CFC Commissioning
• Alerts are logged in a 15-item volatile alert history sorted in chronological order . Only one instance of each alert code occurs in the history, corresponding to the most recent occurrence of that alert.

G.BURNER SEQUENCE
4-12 Part No. 750-263
In addition to providing modulation control, the CB Falcon is responsible for flame supervision and burner sequencing.
The CFC boiler uses direct spark ignition (no gas pilot) to light the main flame. Flame sensing is accomplished with a flame rod, or ionization electrode.
Basic burner sequencing (Central Heat):
1. Heat request detected (Setpoint minus On Hysteresis); LCI demand detected (terminal J6 3).
2. The CH pump is switched on.
3. After a system Safe Start Check, the Bl ower (f an ) i s sw it c h ed on a fter a dynamic ILK switch test (if enabled).
4. After the ILK input is energized, 10 sec. allowed for IAS input (combustion air proving) to energize, and purge rate proving fan RPM is achieved - prepurge time is started.
5. When 30 sec. purge time is complete, the purge fan RPM is changed to the lightoff speed.
6. As soon as the fan-rpm is equal to the light-off RPM , the Trial for Ignition (4 sec.) or Pre-Ignition Time is started (depending on configuration).
7. Pre-Ignition Time will energize the ignitor and check for flame.
!
Warning
Before initial startup, check for block­ages in the flue venting or vent termi­nations. Inspect the burner and furnace for any contamination or blockages.
8. Trial for Ignition.
9. The ignition and the gas valve are switched on.
10.The ignition is turned off at the end of the direct burner ignition period.
11.The fan is kept at the lightoff rate during the stabilization timer, if any.
12.Before the release to modulation, the fan is switched to minimum RPM for the CH Forced Rate and Slow Start Enable, if the water is colder than the threshold.
13.Release to modulation.
14.At the end of the CH-heat request the burner is switched off and the fan stays on until post purge is complete.
15.A new CH-request is blocked for the forced off time set by the Anti Short Cycle (if enabled).
16.The pump stays on during the pump overrun time (if enabled).
17.At the end of the pump overrun time the pump will be switched off.
H.FAN SPEED SETTINGS
Because the input is determined by the fan speed, fan speed settings may have to be modified for the particular application, for high altitudes, or when using direct vent combustion. Ta b le 4 - 2 provides the default fan speed settings in typical applications for the various boiler sizes. To allow safe modulation through the firing range, these parameters should be initially set to the recommended speeds. Please contact your authorized Cleaver-Brooks representative for proper settings in high altitude and direct vent combustion applications.

I. INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Gas Train and Piping
The ClearFire burner is equipped with a combination servo­regulated gas valve and venturi mixing unit. The gas valve consists of a single body with dual solenoid shut off valves, filter screen, and a built-in constant pressure gas/air servo controller. The blower speed is controlled by the CB Falcon with airflow directly proportional to the speed of the fan. The airflow creates a drop in pressure due to the venturi effect. The modulating controller of the valve actuator senses air pressure change and accordingly brings
Part No. 750-263 4-13
Table 4-2 Fan Speed Settings
5300 5300 5300 4600 5000
Chapter 4 — CFC Commissioning
about a change in the gas flow proportional to the air pressure. The gas follows the airflow in a set ratio, so that fuel always matches the air as the burner firing rate increases or decreases.
1. Check the gas delivery system to be sure it is properly piped and wired.
2. Review available gas pressure to assure it is compatible with the main gas regulators upstream of the Model CFC gas train. Note: The maximum rated inlet pressure to the CFC gas train is 1/2 psig (14.0" WC). An upstream regulator and overpressure protection are required if building supply gas pressure is greater than 1 psig.
3. To bleed air from the supply pipe, open the manual gas shut off valve upstream of the burner gas train and bleed air from the piping by loosening the union in the upstream piping.
4. The burner and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the boiler into operation.
5. Gas Pressure Regulator - Using the adjusting screw on the main gas regulator, adjust the inlet pressure to the recommended levels in Table 4-3.

2. Power-Up
1. Ensure blower motor is properly wired for the available power supply.
2. Verify the voltage (control voltage is 115V-1Ph.-60Hz) to ensure it is within specifications.
3. Operation Check: Gas Valve, Gas Pressure Switches,
and Combustion Air Proving Switch
Before initial firing of the burner, the gas valve, Low Gas Pressure Switch (LGPS), High Gas Pressure Switch (HGPS), and Combustion Air Proving Switch (CAPS) should be checked for proper operation.
4-14 Part No. 750-263
• Before proceeding, review Section 4.3 - Control Setpoints for

LGPS
1. To check the Low Gas Pressure Switch, first close the upstream manual shutoff valve (both manual shutoff valves should now be closed).
2. Start the burner and wait 10 seconds during purge for CAPS to be made.
3. Turn the LGPS setting to maximum.
4. Open the test cock to bleed the gas line.
5. The controller should lock out. The screen will indicate Lockout 67 ILK OFF.
6. Reset the controller and change the LGPS setting back to minimum to proceed.
CAPS
1. Initiate burner sequence.
2. During purge cycle, set Combustion Air Proving Switch to its

3. The CB F alcon s hould lock out on a n airflow failure. The disp lay
will show Lockout 65 Interrupted Airflow Switch OFF.
Note: If the CAPS fails to open even when set to maximum, test by disconnecting the low-pressure line to the switch and initiating burner sequence. The switch should now break during the purge cycle. Reconnect low-pressure side after a suc­cessful CAPS check.
4. Following a successful CAPS check, dial the CAPS back to its
minimum setting and reset the CB Falcon.
Part No. 750-263 4-15
Chapter 4 — CFC Commissioning
HGPS and GAS VALVE
1. Open the upstream manual shutoff valve and wait a few moments for gas pressure to rise.
2. Lower the switch setting to minimum.
3. Initiate burner sequence. During the main flame establishing period, verify gas valve LEDs energize, indicating both safety shutoff valves open.
4. The CB Falcon should lock out on an interlock failure (Lockout
67).
5. Reset CB Falcon.
6. Open the downstream manual shutoff valve to clear the lockout condition.
7. Dial the HGPS back to its maximum setting and reset.
IGNITION FAILURE CHECK
7. A test of the flame rod circuit can also be performed at this time.
Disconnect the flame rod cable and attempt to start the burner. The CB Falcon should lock out, indicating Lockout 109 Ignition Failure.
Figure 4-10 Low Water Cutoff
test
8. Replace flame rod electrode and grounding tab.
After verifying proper operation of LGPS, HGPS, CAPS, and Gas Valve, re-open the downstream manual shut-off valve.
4. LOW WATER CUTOFF Check
1. Hold down the LOW WATER RESET-TEST switch for 3 seconds.
2. Check Annunciation screen. The LCI section (Limit Control Input
circuit) should show A2 Water level: OFF (Figure 4-8).
3. Press RESET-TEST switch once to reset.
5. Low and High Fire Adjustments
All CFC boilers are factory tested firing natural gas at an altitude of 1000 ft ASL. Operating under different conditions may require re­adjustment of the gas valve.
Adjustments are made using a TORX® T40 (low fire adjustment) and 3 mm hex wrench (main gas choke). The adjustment screws should initially be set to half way through each setting’s range. The low fire adjustment screw is accessed by removing the slotted cap on the gas regulator using a blade screwdriver (see Figure 4-11). The high fire adjustment screw is accessed by removing the blue plastic cap from the valve cover (see Figure 4-12).
T urn the adjustment screw completely clockwise, counting the turns
Figure 4-11 Regulating
Adjusting Screw - Low Fire
Offset
4-16 Part No. 750-263
until the screw will no longer turn. Then, turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise half the number of turns counted when turning clockwise.
NOTE:When adjusting low fire offset, clockwise adjustments
increase gas flow, and counterclockwise adjustments decrease gas flow.
When adjusting the main gas choke, clockwise adjustments
decrease gas flow, and counterclockwise adjustments increase gas flow.
Refer to Appendix A for further information on gas valve setup, operation, and testing.
Chapter 4 — CFC Commissioning
6. Modulation OFF point
Prior to setting combustion, the Modulation OFF point should be adjusted upward to avoid nuisance shutdowns while the burner is under manual control.
7. Setting Combustion
Note: A Combustion Analyzer is required to properly set-up the
Model CFC burner. Do not attempt to fire and adjust the burner without this equipment.
Note: Ensure boiler is filled with water prior to burner startup.
The burner does not have need of linkages for fuel/air adjustment, nor is a separate manual-auto switch provided for burner positioning. All firing rate adjustments are accomplished via the CB Falcon Control. Setting combustion will require manually modulating the burner via the CB Falcon from low fire to high fire two or more times to ensure a consistent air/fuel ratio.
Figure 4-12 Main Gas Choke -
High Fire Adjustment
Part No. 750-263 4-17
Chapter 4 — CFC Commissioning
1. On the CB Falcon Operation screen, press the Firing rate display in the Modulation section.
2. A numeric keypad will appear, showing the current firing rate.
3. Press <Clear> to clear the current value.
4. Enter the desired RPM setting using the numeric keypad (refer to Table 4-2, Fan Speed Settings).
5. Press <OK>. The display will return to the Opera­tion screen and the burner will modulate to the cho­sen firing rate.
Manual Modulation - use the procedure below to change the burner firing rate manually.
To set com busti on:
1. Check inlet gas pressure and reset low gas pressure switch.
2. At Operation screen set firing rate to low fire. Review burner
sequence before proceeding.
3. Turn LOCAL/REMOTE switch to LOCAL.
4. Initiate burner firing sequence. The burner switch is accessed
via the CB Falcon Operation page (Figure 4-11). If the burner does not ignite, adjust choke counterclockwise slightly until you can see a slight yellow flame at the burner during ignition. Clockwise adjustments to the low-fire offset screw may also be
Figure 4-13 Operation screen
tried. Check that gas pressure to gas valve inlet is sufficient to fire burner (see Table 4-3 for gas pressure requirements).
5. After burner lights, maintain in low fire position. At low fire,
using main choke on gas valve and a combustion analyzer set O2 level within 3-8% O2.
4-18 Part No. 750-263
6. Manually modulate the burner to high fire. Adjust the gas choke if necessary to obtain desired O2% (5% - 6%).
7. Modulate to low fire and fine tune offset screw to obtain desired O2% (5% - 6%).
Verify adjustments by modulating back and forth between low and high fire.
While setting combustion observe gas pressure at low fire and at high fire. Ensure pressure is within limits shown in Table 4-3.
8. High Air Pressure Switch settings
The High Air Pressure witch (HAPS) is used to safely shut down the boiler in case of a blocked flue or blocked condensate condition.
The HAPS switch setting for each model CFC can be found below:
Table 4-4 HAPS Settings
Model Setting CFC-500 3.5” W.C. CFC-750 3.5” W.C. CFC-1000 3.5” W.C. CFC-1500 4.5” W.C. CFC-1800 4.5” W.C. CFC-2500 5.25” W.C.
Chapter 4 — CFC Commissioning
The HAPS has a manual reset, similar to the High/Low gas pressure switches.
Note: In the event of a HAPS lockout, investigate possible causes
before attempting to restart boiler.
9. Limit Controls Check
The Modulation Off (operating limit) and High Limit functions can be tested while the boiler is operating by adjusting the respective setting downward and allowing the boiler outlet temperature to rise. The Modulation Off point is the sum of the Modulating setpoint and the Hysteresis Off value. The Modulation On point is the setpoint minus the Hysteresis On value.
When the boiler’s outlet temperature exceeds either of these settings, the boiler will shut down. When the operating limit is exceeded, the boiler will automatically recycle upon the outlet temperature dropping below the on point. When the High Limit is exceeded, a lockout should result requiring a manual reset of the control after the temperature has dropped below the high limit setting.
Before testing the High Limit, temporarily set the Modulation OFF point higher than the High Limit setting.
Restore Modulation OFF and High Limit to operational settings after testing.
Specific settings are determined by application. Maximum High Limit for Model CFC is 210 deg F.
Part No. 750-263 4-19
Chapter 4 — CFC Commissioning
The High Limit setting is considered a safety parameter. Any changes made will require a password login and reset of the CB Falcon.
J. POST START-UP CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
1. Ensure proper air venting to expansion tank.
2. Set high gas pressure switch to 50% higher than operating gas pressure at low fire. Set low gas pressure switch to 50% lower than operating gas pressure at low fire.
3. Check the draft on the outlet stack on each boiler, compare to acceptable limits (-.25 to +.25“ W.C.) and record in start up form. Operating outside of acceptable limits could result in light off and flame failure problems.
4. Switch to automatic operation and monitor flue gas to ensure consistent excess air.
5. Reassemble all panels and covers that were removed and replace any plugs that were removed to check gas pressure.
6. Verify HAPS switch operation by simulating a blocked flue condition.
7. Verify gas pressures remain within limits shown in Table 4-3.
8. Provide instructions to owner and operators on operation, safety and maintenance of the equipment.
9. Provide instructions to owner and operators on proper water treatment guidelines and procedures.

On an annual basis the boiler vessel and burner combustion system must be checked and cleaned. This work is to be carried out by an authorized Cleaver-Brooks Service Technician.
A.CLEANING PROCEDURE / DISASSEMBLY
1. Close off the gas supply to the boiler and disconnect electrical power at the primary switch box.
2. Remove the front casing panel and fold the integral step down (see Figure 5-1).
3. Remove the top casing of the boiler.
4. Disconnect the gas piping to the burner head.
5. Disconnect the electrical connections to the blower assembly.
6. Remove air combustion piping if supplied.
7. Unscrew the four- (4) hold down nuts securing the burner door to the pressure vessel.
8. The burner door, burn er head, blower motor and assembly will lift on the provided gas struts (see Figure 5-3).
9. The blower motor and gas valve assembly assembly can be removed from the boiler.
10. The burner head can be separated from the head assembly by removing 4 bolts and washers.
Check the burner head for any damage, burn marks or perforations. If damage is determined replace the damaged parts. If the canister is in good condition clean out any dirt and contaminates with a vacuum cleaner inside and out alternating with compressed air to dislodge any debris of combustion.
1. With the burner head and blower removed the combustion chamber can be accessed for all service requirements.
2. Check ignition and ionization electrodes for deposits and proper gap. Clean or replace as needed.
3. Inspect the pressure vessel and combustion chamber area for any damage or contamination (see Figu re 5-4). If dirt or contaminates are found it is recommended that the tubes be washed with a high-pressure power washer.

B.CONDENSATE NEUTRALIZATION
Important
!
Important note concerning the neutralization system:
The neutralization granulate NEUTRALAT is supplied in 6.5 lb. bags. The bags have 2 wrappers. The actual granulate is contained in a mesh type inner wrapper which in turn is enclosed in a sealed outer wrapper; do not remove the mesh wrapper.
After removing the outer wrapper, the fine dust formed during transport should be shaken out as it can impair the effectiveness. The granulate is placed in the granulate chamber around the vertical round inlet tube on the filter mat (not in the container behind it, which is for the neutralized condensate).
Once a year - or after consumption (dissolving) of the granulate - the neutralization system should be thoroughly cleaned, i.e. rinsed with water. For this the neutralization tank can be easily removed and replaced after taking off the removable front and disconnecting the condensate connector.
The tank is located between 2 rails with a stop at the rear. As it is harmless, the residual neutralization granulate can be disposed of with the domestic waste. For the CFC 750-1000, the granulate tank requires three (3) 6.5 lb. bags of NEUTRALAT. The CFC 1500­1800 requires four (4) 6.5 lb. bags of NEUTRALAT.

Applications where multiple boilers are used will require more frequent maintenance and replacement of the neutralization media
The granulate tank is to be filled with NEUTRALAT neutralisation granulate as described above before the first commissioning
C.ASSEMBLY
1. Assembly is the reverse of the above instructions.
2. A new rope gasket should be installed on the burner door. See recommended spare parts list.

Figure 5-5 Electrode Setup
D.IGNITION ELECTRODE AND FLAME ROD
The ignition and ionization electrodes should be checked on an annual basis. If damaged it should be replaced as shown in Figure 5-5 with the electrode turned towards the burner mantle after it is inserted into the burner head.
1/8” gap between ionization electrode and the surface of the burner canister.
1/8” gap between ignitor electrode and ground electrode.
E. TROUBLESHOOTING
Lockout Conditions
1. Observe lockout code and description - refer to CB Falcon appendix if
necessary.
2. After determining lockout condition, investigate possible causes.
3. When cause is diagnosed, remedy condition.
4. Reset control. Boiler should be able to start normally.
5. If lockout recurs, further investigation is required. Repeat steps 1
through 4 as needed. If necessary, contact your CB service representa­tive for technical support.
EXAMPLE: Lockout 79 Outlet Temperature High Limit
1. Before resetting control to clear lockout, check for sufficient water flow
through boiler. Possible sources of insufficient flow include closed water valves, insufficient pump speed, air trapped in boiler (inadequate air venting), or modulation set point and off point close to outlet high limit setting.
The CB Falc on system display/interface provides extensive boiler diagnostic data at the time of lockout that can help in determining the source of a problem. This information is accessed through the Lockout History.
2. Remedy condition that caused lockout to occur.
3. Reset control by pressing <Clear Lockout> from the Lockout History
screen.
Light-off Problems
The distance between the flame rod and the burner (mantle) should be 1/8” (see Figu re 5-6 ). The dimensions on both the booster ignitors and the flame rod are not easily adjustable - bending the rods can cause damage to the insulation material. Also a bent electrode will return to its original shape when heated. If an electrode or flame rod is out of specification, replacement is generally required. Clean or replace as necessary.

APPLICATION
The CB Falcon is a hydronic boiler control system that provides heat control, flame supervision, circulation pump
control, fan control, boiler control, and electric ignition function. It will also provide boiler status and error reporting.
Multiple boilers can be joined together to heat a system instead of a single, larger burner or boiler. Using boilers in parallel is more efficient, costs less, reduces emissions, improves load control, and is more flexible than the traditional large boiler.
