Safety Warnings and Precautions
This manual is provided as a guide to the correct operation and maintenance of your Fulton Gas Fired Steam Boiler, and should be permanently available to the staff responsible for the operation of the gas fired boiler.
These instructions must not be considered as a complete code of practice, nor should they replace existing codes or standards which may be applicable.
The requirements and instructions contained in this section generally relate to the standard Fulton Gas Fired Steam Boiler. When installing a packaged unit, this entire section should be read to ensure that the installation work is carried out correctly.
Prior to shipment the following tests are made to assure the customer the highest standards of manufacturing:
a) Material inspections. b) Manufacturing process inspections. c) ASME welding inspections. d) ASME hydrostatic test inspection. e) Electrical components inspection. f) Operating test. g) Final Engineering Inspection h) Crating inspection.
All units are crated for fork lift transport. Once uncrated, all units can be transported with a forklift. Under no circumstances should weight be allowed to bear on the jacket, control panel, or fan housing of any Fulton Boiler.
Rigging your boiler into position should be handled by a competent rigger experienced in handling heavy equipment.
The customer should examine the boiler for any damage, especially the refractories. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
all parts supplied with the boiler are fitted in a correct and safe manner.
NOTE
The installation of the Fulton Gas Fired Steam Boiler should be carried out by competent personnel in accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association, National or Canadian Electrical Code. All state and jurisdictional codes beyond the scope of the applicable ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes, for its corresponding classification, should be followed in all cases. Jurisdictional authorities must be consulted prior to installation.
WARNING
Operating the boiler beyond its design limits can damage the boiler and can also be dangerous. Do not operate the boiler outside its limits. Do not try to upgrade the boiler performance by unapproved modifications. Unapproved modifications can cause injury and damage. Contact your Fulton dealer before modifying the boiler.
WARNING
A defective boiler can injure you or others. Do not operate a boiler which is defective or has missing parts. Make sure that all maintenance procedures are completed before using the boiler. Do not attempt repairs or any other maintenance work you do not understand. Obtain a Service Manual from Fulton or call a Fulton Service Engineer.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliances.
- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Safety Warnings and Precautions
For Your Safety
The following WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES appear in various sections of this manual.
They are repeated on these safety summary pages as an example and for emphasis.
WARNINGS must be observed to prevent serious injury, or death to personnel. CAUTIONS must be observed to prevent damage or destruction of equipment or loss of operating effectiveness. NOTES must be observed for essential and effective operating procedures, conditions, and as a statement to be highlighted.
It is the responsibility and duty of all personnel involved in the operating and maintenance of this equipment to fully understand the WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES by which hazards are to be eliminated or reduced. Personnel must become familiar with all aspects of safety and equipment prior to operation or maintenance of the equipment.
WARNING
Care should be taken to ensure that the blow off receptacle used meets the regulations covering such vessels. A means to cool boiler blowdown water to <140
o
F prior to discharging to floor drains is required for personnel and equipment protection.
WARNING
Only properly trained personnel should install and maintain water gauge glass and connections. Wear safety glasses during installation. Before installing, make sure all parts are free of chips and debris. Gauge glass valves must be fully open to prevent boiler water damage if a gauge glass breaks.
WARNING
Prior to the commencement of any work requiring the removal of cover plates and the opening of the control panel box, the electrical supply to the boiler must be disconnected.
WARNING
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE LOW WATER SAFETY CUT OFF.
WARNING
When shutting down the boiler for any extensive repairs, shut off main disconnect switches on both the boiler and the feed water pump.
WARNING
Do not clean the gauge glass while pressurized. Ensure gauge glass valves are fully shut prior to glass removal.
WARNING Do not allow anyone to operate, service or repair this equipment unless they fully understand all applicable sections of this manual.
CAUTION
To prevent corrosion fatigue at the feedwater nozzle or cold end corrosion, boiler feed water must be at least 140
o
F prior to entry into the boiler.
CAUTION A temperature exceeding 100oF in the boiler room may cause premature failure of electrical components in the boiler control panel.
CAUTION The water chemistry in the boiler must be kept within limits outlined in this manual. Failure to do so will likely cause premature boiler pressure vessel failure and poor steam quality.
NOTE
After installation is complete and prior to operation the pressure vessel should be cleaned or boiled out per instructions included in this manual.
NOTE
a) The fused disconnect switch that controls the feed water pump should be kept in the “on” position at all times during the boiler operation as well as during the non-operating period of the boiler.
b) This switch should be turned “off” only when repairs or adjustments should be made.
NOTE
The feedwater pump will continue to operate until the water reaches the correct level in the boiler. This level is approximately the center of the water gauge glass.
NOTE
To ensure that your Fulton Steam Boiler is kept operating safely and efficiently, follow the maintenance procedures set forth in Section 4 of this manual.
NOTE
If only the top refractory is to be changed, the bottom refractory need not be removed.
NOTE
The boiler blow off operation should be done once during the day when the boiler is at 10 PSIG or less.
NOTE
After a new Fulton Boiler has been in operation for several months, pieces of burned metal will be found in the space at the bottom of the boiler. These pieces of metal are the remains of a light gauge metal form which was used during manufacture for forming the boiler insulation. This is a normal condition and does not affect the efficiency or the life of the boiler in any way.

Locating the Boiler
a. The boiler should be located in dry
surroundings on a level base, making sure that there is sufficient room around the boiler to enable the operator and/or the maintenance engineer to gain access to all parts of the boiler. Check location for ease of water supply and electrical connections.
b. Place the boiler on a non combustible
floor with clearances to unprotected combustible materials, including plaster or combustible supports.
c. It is necessary to have the following
vertical clearance from the floor to the ceiling for removal of the burner for servicing:
Minimum Vertical Clearances BHP IN MM

80 130 3302 100 130 3302 130 145 3683 150 145 3683
The Gas Supply
a. Gas Piping should be installed in
accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223-1-1984 or latest addenda and any other local codes which may apply. In Canada gas installations must be in accordance with the current CAN/CGA B149.1 and .2 and/or local codes.
b. Install a dirt trap ahead of all of the gas
valves.
c. The pipe and the fittings used must be
new and free of dirt or other deposits.
d. The piping must be of the proper size to
ensure adequate gas supply to the gas head assembly. Consult your gas company for specific recommendations.
e. 7” - 11” wc gas pressure is required
during run for 40-60 HP boilers with standard burners. 9”-11” wc gas pressure is required during run for 80 100 HP boilers with standard CSD-1 burners, 11”-13” wc gas pressure is required for 80-100 HP IRI boilers. 40” W.C. is required for 130-150 HP
f. For propane or butane gas: see “e”
above. Propane not available for LoNOx boilers.
g. When making gas piping joints, use a
sealing compound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. Do not use teflon tape on gas line threads.
h. The main and the pilot gas pressure
regulators must be vented to the atmosphere.
i. After gas piping is completed carefully
check all piping connections, (factory and field), for gas leaks. Use a soap and water solution.
CAUTION
Some soaps used for leak testing are corrosive to certain types of metals. Rinse all piping thoroughly with clean water after leak check has been completed.
j. The boiler must be disconnected at the
boiler shut off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at pressure in excess of 1/2 PSIG-14" W.C.
k. The boiler must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing the shut-off cock during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG--14" W.C.
Installation
Page 22
Installation
For units equipped with Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR), the ducting must be insulated.
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not exceed the rated pressure of the fuel train.
The Gas Supply For LE Models
A minimum of 40” w.c. gas pressure is required at the inlet of the gas train while operating for the 40-100HP; 60” w.c. for the 130-150HP boiler.
Basic Boiler, Condensate Tank, and Blow-Down Separator
NOTE
Where a condensate return tank is to be fitted:
1. This should be vented to a safe location.
2. This should have a capacity sufficient to satisfy boiler consumption as well as maintain proper return tank temperature.
3. Vent pipe should not be down-sized (this may cause pressure build up in the condensate tank).
4. Return pipes must not be insulated. This can cause overheating the return system, causing a vapor lock in the pump.
5. See Return System Instruction Manual for detailed instructions.
NOTE
Care should be taken to ensure that the blow-down receptacle used meets the regulations covering such vessels. If in doubt consult a Fulton Representative for advice.

a. Make sure two check valves are
installed between the boiler and pump (one check valve is supplied with the unit).
b. In a closed system an end of the line
trap should be installed.
c. There are four blow-down valves on the
boiler: Two main bottom blow-down valves, the gauge glass blow-down valve, and the water column blow-down valve. All blow-down connections must be piped to blow-down seperator.
All these procedures should be done in accordance with state and/or local codes. The water column blow-down valve and the gauge glass blow-down valve should be connected to the main blow-down line.
Steam Supply
Pipe the steam supply line from the top right side of the boiler.
Steam Safety Valve
1. Before installing, be sure that all pipes and connections have been blown clean. Pipe compound or dope is used on external threads only. Be sure inlet of valve is free of any foreign material.
2. Do not use a pipe wrench! When making installation, use proper type and size wrench.
3. The valve should be installed in a vertical upright position in the connection provided on the top left side of the boiler with no unnecessary intervening pipe. Under no circumstances should there be a shut off valve or restriction of any kind between the safety valve and the connection provided.
4. Do not cap or plug drain hole in the side of valve body.
5. Since the purpose of this safety valve is to protect against an overpressure situation, it will loudly discharge hot steam in doing so. Therefore, it is recommended that a discharge pipe be securely installed and run to a safe point of disposal.
6. When a discharge pipe is used, it must be of a pipe size equal to or greater than that of the valve outlet. Use schedule 40 discharge pipe only. Do not use schedule 80, extra strong or double extra strong discharge pipe or connections. It must be as short and straight as possible and so arranged as to avoid undue stress on the valve. It must have an ample provision for draining condensate at or near the valve outlet. It must terminate freely to atmosphere with no intervening valve of any description and it must be securely anchored and supported.
Steam Pressure Gauge Assembly
The gauge should be facing front towards the panel box and/or operator of the boiler.
Except as noted, each assembly or any of its component parts may be oriented, other than as shown to provide improved operating clearances and/or view of gauge. Before installing steam gauge on the siphon, add a small amount of water to the siphon to create a water seal to buffer the gauge element. This must be done to prevent inaccurate pressure readings and /or premature failure of the gauge. Install the steam gauge into the siphon on the water column.

Blow-Down Valve
There are four blow-down valves on the boiler: Two main bottom blow-down valves, the gauge glass blow-down valve, and the water column blow-down valve. All blow­down connections must be piped to blow­down seperator.
Feed Water Piping
1. Provisions must be made for adequate water supply and properly sized piping. Piping must be done in compliance with all local codes. The following chart may be used as a guideline for sizing.
BHP Minimum Water
Supply Piping Size
IN MM
40 1 25 50 1 25 60 1 25
80 1 25 100 1.25 31.7 130 1.25 31.7 150 1.25 31.7
2. When feeding the boiler using a return system, the city water pressure should not exceed 40 PSI. A pressure reducing valve should be installed a head of the return tank when above this pressure.
3. It is important that all piping be lined up and not forced into place. It is recommended that you begin piping at the pump. If the lines are ended at the pump, particularly if the last piece is cut too short or long, the pump will be forced to meet the pipe and strain or distortion will result.
4. Do not use the pump as a piping support. It is critical that the pipe be independently supported near the pump so no strain will be transmitted to the unit.
5. Connect the feed water stop valve to the feed water pipe at the rear of the boiler and pipe it to the return system.
Water Column
Install the piping from the water column and water gauge glass to a safe blow-down point.

Water Gauge and Gauge Glass Installation Instructions
NOTE
Only properly trained personnel should install and maintain water gauge glass and connections. Wear safety glasses during installation. Before installing, make sure all parts are free of chips and debris.
NOTE
Keep gauge glass in original packaging until ready to install.
1. Verify the proper gauge has been supplied.
2. Examine the gauge glass and packings carefully for damage before installation. Do not use the glass if it contains any scratches, chips, or any other visible signs of damage.
3. Do not subject the gauge glass to bending or torsional stresses.
4. Apply teflon tape or pipe dope to pipe threads. Install top gauge fitting (fitting without a drain valve) into the uppermost tapping. Wrench tighten the fitting until it is snug and the glass outlet is pointing at five o’clock (about 1/8 turn from its final downward vertical position).
5. Install the bottom gauge fitting (the fitting with a drain valve) until it is snug and the glass outlet is pointing directly upward. Verify top and bottom fittings are threaded into the tappings the same number of turns (distance A=distance B).
6. Remove glass packing nut, friction washer and glass packing from the fittings, and place them, in the same order, on to both ends of the gauge glass. Push both packings about an inch up the gauge glass.
7. Gently insert one end of the glass into the top gauge fitting. Keeping the glass inside the top fitting, gently rotate the top gauge fitting clockwise until vertically aligned with the bottom gauge fitting, then inset glass into bottom fitting until glass bottoms out on the shoulder inside the bottom fitting.
8. Carefully raise glass about 1/16” and slide lower glass packing down until the glass packing contacts the lower gauge fitting. DO NOT allow the glass to remain in contact with any metal!
9. Carefully slide upper glass packing up as far as possible.
10.Hand tighten both glass packing nuts, then tighten 1/2 turn more by wrench. Tighten only enough to prevent leakage. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! If any leakage should occur, tighten slightly, a quarter turn at a time, checking for leakage after each turn.
11.Install the protective guard, and utilize automatic ball checks where necessary to help prevent injury in case of glass breakage.
WARNING
Improper installation or maintenance of gauge glass and connections can cause immediate or delayed breakage resulting in bodily injury and/or property damage.

Water Supply
Feed water contains solids and dissolved gases. These may promote formation of scale; foaming, priming, surging, and solids in steam; corrosion and pitting; or caustic embrittlement. To prevent this, feedwater must be studied individually and treated accordingly by reputable professionals specializing in this field. It is strongly recommended that a competent water treatment company be consulted prior to the installation of the boiler.
The purpose of this treatment should be to provide quality feedwater to the boiler such that corrosion and deposition in the boiler will be minimized. Dissolved oxygen, high TDS levels and low pH can all be major causes of corrosion. Untreated hardness is the major cause of scale deposits. Poor quality feedwater will require increased blow-down and increased chemical treatment costs to prevent boiler corrosion and scaling.
One way to lower the amount of dissolved oxygen in the boiler feed water is the feedwater preheating option. This option injects live steam into the feedwater to increase the water temperature to at least 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) which removes oxygen from the water.
TDS can be controlled by increasing the number and/or duration of blow downs per day from one to four.
The Fulton Warranty does not cover damage or failure that can be attributed to corrosion, scale or sludge accumulations. Oxygen is corrosive. See
the Warranty Section of this manual for full details.
Recommended Water Treatment
a. Following are recommendations for feed
water and boiler water. Contact your local water treatment professional for testing and treatment recommendations. It is very important that a strict water treatment program be followed.
Feedwater:
Dissolved Oxygen..............less than 0.05 ppm
pH Value.............................9-11 (tested at room
temperature)
*Hardness ..........................less than 25 ppm
in the form of CACO
3
Oil........................................none
Suspended Solids..............none
Organic Matter ...................less than 5.0 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids .......less than 300ppm
Boiler Water:
Alkalinity ........................less than 300 ppm in the
form of CACO
3
Chloride.........................less than 500 ppm
pH Value .......................9 to 11 (tested at room
temperature)
Total Dissolved Solids..... 2,000 ppm maximum
Hardness.......................less than 50.0 ppm
Dissolved Oxygen ........none
Suspended Solids.........40 ppm
ppm = parts per million; CACO3=Calcium Carbonate; PO4=Phosphate; SiO2=silicon dioxide; * 1 Grain Hardness = 17.118 ppm Therefore: 70 ppm = 4.10 grains hardness
b. It is critical that the boiler pH be alkaline
(9-11) whenever water is in the boiler. Solids that enter in with the feed water concentrate in the boiler. Daily boiler blow down is recommended to prevent corrosion and/or deposits from forming.
Glossary of Water Supply Corrosives and Inhibitors
DISSOLVED OXYGEN
Oxygen that is dissolved in the feedwater will cause the steel in the boiler and the feedwater system to be attacked by the water in a manner described as “pitting”. The pits that are produced can vary from tiny depressions to holes large enough to penetrate the boiler metal and are usually covered with tubercles of iron oxide. Once pitting starts, it may be extremely hard to arrest. Pitting can proceed at a surprisingly rapid rate and can occur not only in the boiler proper, but also in pre-boiler equipment such as economizers, feedwater heaters, and feedwater lines.
SUSPENDED SOLIDS
Suspended solids are the undissolved matter in water, including dirt, silt, rust and any other insoluble matter. Normally suspended solids are expressed in terms of turbidity.The presence of suspended solids in cooling water can increase impingement type corrosion. Suspended solids may also deposit in low velocity areas and create differential aeration cells. Pitting can result. The most common cause of high suspended solids is high hardness feedwater piping corrosion and inadequate blow-down rate.
In line filters, or various types of pretreatment can be used to lower the suspended solids level. Various polymers assist in holding solids in suspension. Boiler blow-down is the best way to control suspended solids.
ALKALINITY
Alkalinity is the capacity of a water to neutralize acids. Common water alkalinities consist of bicarbonate, carbonates, hydroxide, phosphate, and silicate. These alkalinities, especially bicarbonates and
carbonates, break down to form carbon dioxide in steam, which is a major factor in the corrosion on condensate lines. High alkalinity also causes foaming and carry over in boilers.
Both foaming and carry over cause erratic boiler operation. When foaming occurs an anti-foam should be added or increased. The reason for the high alkalinity should be determined. It may result from lack of sufficient blow-down. Pretreated makeup water and condensate should also be checked. quite often the source of alkalinity is an overdose of alkaline internal water treatment chemical.
pH
pH is a measure of the degree of acid or base of solution. Neutral pH ranges of 6.5-
7.5 will have negative influence on the corrosion rate of carbon steel. A low pH can result in corrosion of metals, while a high pH can result in scale formation. Optimal boiler pH is 9-11, slightly alkaline
In order to control boilers and equipment used for the external treatment of make up water, it is essential that frequent reliable pH measurements be made.

CHLORIDES/CHLORINE
Chlorides are generally considered detrimental in stainless steel systems only. Stress corrosion cracking can occur from high chlorides.
High chlorine levels can cause severe corrosion. Corrosion from chlorine can be controlled by removal via carbon filtration. City water can contain high levels of chlorine.
OIL
Oil is not a natural constituent of boiler water; still it can frequently enter a system through leaks in a condenser or other heat exchanger. Oil can also enter a system through the lubrication of steam driven reciprocating equipment. Whatever the source, the presence of oil in boiler water is undesirable.
Foaming is one indication of oil in boiler water. Its presence can also be confirmed by first shaking a bottle containing boiler water. If oil is present foam will result. To ensure the foaming is being caused by oil, add a small amount of powdered activated carbon to the bottle containing the boiler water and shake. Little or no foam will appear if the foaming is caused by oil.
Often oil in boiler water will originate in the condensate. This contaminated condensate should be directed to the sewer until the source of the oil is determined and corrective steps taken. Boiler and boiler system piping boil out procedure are designed to rid a system of oil contamination.
IRON (OXIDES)
Iron in any of its oxide or complex forms is undesirable in boiler water. It is very difficult to disperse so that it can be removed the bottom blow-down lines.
Iron in its various forms can originate in the raw water makeup, condensate return water, or form directly in the boiler as a result of corrosion. Most iron oxide originates outside the boiler. It concentrates in the boiler and it tends to collect in stagnant areas. If a boiler is using raw water makeup, iron is almost certain to be a major component of developing scale or sludge deposits.
WATER HARDNESS
Water hardness is the measure of calcium and magnesium content as calcium carbonate equivalents. Water hardness is a primary source of scale in boiler equipment. Hardness is removed by water softeners or RO/DI systems. It can also be treated with various chemical treatments (i.e. Phosphates).
FEEDWATER
Feedwater is the combination of fresh makeup and returning condensate that is pumped to the boiler. Hot (>180°F) feedwater, free of hardness, solids and oxygen will yield the most protection to a boiler.
CONDENSATE
Condensate is condensed steam that is normally low in dissolved solids. Hence, it does not contribute to the dissolved solid content of the feedwater. In addition, condensate is very expensive to waste. It's been chemically treated, heated, pumped, converted to steam, and condensed. This costs money and when condensate is returned to the boiler, money is saved.

Electrical Requirements
1. Connect wiring as shown in the wiring diagram which is furnished inside the electrical control panel box.
2. Be sure to install a separate disconnect for each piece of equipment. The disconnects should be installed in compliance with the NEC (National Electric Code) and all local codes.
3. Connections for an optional audible alarm are provided in the control panel and are clearly indicated on the diagram.
Fresh Air Supply for Boiler
It is most important to provide free access of air to the boiler. To burn fuel properly, it requires one square inch opening of fresh air for every 3,000 BTU input of fuel. (6.4cm
2
for
every 756 Kcal).
Proper ventilation of the boiler room is essential for good combustion. Install two fresh air openings, one at a low level 24” (610 mm) from floor and one at a higher level in the boiler room wall.This will provide a flow of air to exhaust the hot air from the boiler room. Boiler room temp not to
exceed 100°F.
The following openings are recommended for each size boiler:

100 16 1.49 130 21 1.95 150 24 2.23
Be sure total BHP = proper make up air opening size.
These measurements are subject to state and local regulations. The installation of exhaust fans in a boiler room is not recommended.
An exhaust fan, or similar equipment can create down draft in the stack or restrict the burner’s air supply which will result In poor combustion. It is essential that only fresh air is allowed to enter the combustion air system. Foreign substances, such as combustible volatiles and lint, in the combustion system can create hazardous conditions.
Conventional Venting
The stack should rise continuously to the connection with the chimney, and should contain no more than two bends at 45° angles or less. If required as the result of space limitations, one 90° elbow can be fitted at the back of the boiler. There should be two feet of straight, horizontal flue before any bends or turns. Any alternative stack arrangement must supply a negative .02 ­.04” W.C. pressure (0.508 to 1.016 mm) with the burner off.
The run in the total distance of stack ducting, as measured in a straight line from the outlet of the boiler to the outlet of the stack, should not exceed 70% of the rise. With the exception of a duct run described in Item a, horizontal sections of ducting must be avoided, and should not exceed four feet of total run.
The stack and chimney must be constructed from material that is rated for 1000°F operating temperature. Check all local codes for exact requirements.
Adequate provision must be made for the support of the weight of the chimney and stack to avoid having too great a load imparted to the flue outlet connection of the boiler.
The proper flue size and draft control is most important for proper burner operation. The flue must be as large or larger than the outlet on the boiler. Avoid flue piping and elbows by placing the boiler as close as possible to the chimney.
A mechanical draft regulator should be installed in the flue outlet. Do not install the draft regu-lator prior to the first turn of the flue.

Corrosion of flue pipe
In the case of a combustion flue pipe, acid may develop over a long period of time per the following process. Chlorine containing gases, such as halocarbon refrigerants, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, or perchloroethylene, when drawn into combustion air are broken down into elemental chlorine gas which exits up the flue pipe. If the flue pipe is cold, as it would be if the combustion process had been off for some time, the water vapor condenses in the flue pipe during the first few minutes of ignition and the chlorine in the combustion gas dissolves in the water forming hydrochloric acid. As the combustion system flue line increases in temperature, the water vapor no longer condenses because the flue temperature is above the dew point of the combustion gas.
The combustion gas then dries out (dehydrates) the hydrochloric acid solution leaving behind dry chloride salt.
When the next cold start-up occurs, the process repeats except that more and more chloride collects and concentrates along the flue. As the quantity of chloride increases it does not dehydrate completely as the flue heats up and a corrosive poultice develops which attacks the steel and will also attack the boiler.
Concentration levels of only a few ppm of chlorine containing compounds in combustion air can produce serious corrosion over long periods of time. High chlorine containing compounds such as carbon tetrachloride or perchloroethylene would be prime suspects.
In addition, normal combustion creates carbon dioxide which may condense in a cold flue to form carbonic acid.
Installation Check Points
1. Make sure all piping connections are complete and tight.
2. Make sure the pressure controls are adjusted properly.
3. Make sure all electrical connections in the control panel box, the water column, and elsewhere are secure.
4. Make sure the door in the boiler room is closed. Combustion air contaminates can cause damage to the boiler jacket and stack.
NOTE
After installation is complete and prior to operation the pressure vessel should be cleaned.

Cleaning (Boil out) the Pressure Vessel
After the boiler has been installed and before it is placed in service it is advisable to purge the pressure vessel of any oil film,dirt, or other impurities. Clean the pressure vessel as follows:
1. Isolate the boiler from the system by shutting off the main steam valve.
2. Remove the steam safety valve.
3. Mix washing soda with water in a one­gallon container and pour it into the boiler through the steam safety valve opening.
4. The mixture of washing soda to water is as follows:

Operation
WARNING
For units equipped with Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR), the ducting must be insulated.
4. When the pilot flame is established, the flame rod (or ultra-violet scanner) senses the voltage which is created in the flame between the flame rod and the gas nozzle (ground). This signal is transmitted back to the flame programmer which opens the main gas valve giving a main flame.
5. All Fulton propane or butane boilers and Fulton natural gas boilers 50 HP and above are standardly furnished with UV Scanners.
a. If the installation is new or the burner
has been disassembled, the burner may not fire at the first attempt due to air which must be purged from the gas lines. This will result in the burner flame programmer going to lockout. Repeat the procedure for starting the burner.
b. The main gas valve will remain open
as long as there is a demand for heat and the flame is carrying a sufficient signal to the flame programmer.
c. If the flame is not established at the
start, the safety switch in the flame programmer control will open the contacts and shut off the burner.
d. Push the reset button on the control
to reset. If trouble persists, it may be necessary to check the flame rod setting or the UV scanner. See Maintenance Section 4 for procedure to check flame rod setting or UV Scanner.

Gas Burner Set Up For Boilers Equipped with Modulation
1. Modulation is available as an option on Fulton gas fired steam boilers for 40 ­150 HP units.
2. Boilers equipped with modulation will have the linkage rod disconnected between the modulation motor and the gas butterfly valve for shipment.
NOTE
If Seiman linkageless modulation is ordered, no mechanical linkage rod is required, thus none provided.
3. Mount the gas train on the pipe nipple of the burner plate with the gas train inlet directly facing over the panel box. Reconnect the linkage from the butterfly valve to the modulation motor.
4. The end of the linkage arm that attaches to the butterfly valve will have a notch on both sides of it, where the swivel collar should be centered. This setting was based on factory test fire conditions.
5. Combustion analysis should be done at the installation to make any changes to insure proper combustion characteristics.
6. The modulating burner will have a modulation lock switch to enable you to lock the firing sequence anywhere along the firing rate from low to high.
7. Depending on the combustion characteristics, it may be necessary to adjust both linkage arms. To adjust the linkages, unscrew the swivel collar and move the linkage rod in the appropriate direction.
8. Standard modulating burners will have a proportioning pressure control in addition to the standard operating pressure control that will send a 0-135 ohm signal to the modulation motor to adjust the firing rate. Both operating pressure controls should have the same setting.
9. NEMA 4 units will use a digital pressure controller with transducer as the operating pressure control which sends a 0ma signal to the modulation motor to control firing rate.
Gas Burner Set Up For Boilers Equipped with High-Low-Off
1. A gas fired burner equipped for high­low-off firing is available as an option on Fulton gas fired steam boilers for 40 ­150 HP units.
2. Boilers that have a high-low-off firing rate will have a linkage between the high-low gas valve and the primary air gate. This valve is equipped with a spring return.
3. The linkage will be disconnected from the gas valve for shipment.
4. Mount the gas train on the pipe nipple of the burner plate with the gas train inlet directly facing over the panel box. Reconnect the linkage from the primary air gate to the high-low gas valve.

7. To adjust the linkage, unscrew the swivel collar and move the linkage rod in the appropriate direction. The high-low­off configuration comes with two operating pressure controls.
8. Set the low operating pressure control to approximately 60% of your desired set point and the main operating pressure control to your desired set point.
WARNING
Prior to the commencement of any work requiring the removal of cover plates and the opening of the control panel box, the electrical supply to the boiler must be disconnected.
Primary Air Adjustment for Fulton Gas Fired Steam Boilers
1. The primary air adjustment or main air control is located at the fan housing face. This control is used to supply the burner with excess air needed to facilitate good combustion. Too much or too little air will result in poor combustion. It is important to make sure the lowest level of excess oxygen is present while still maintaining a high level of carbon dioxide and negligible carbon monoxide. Using a CO
2
or O
2
tester it is possible to determine the percent of excess air in the combustion mixture.
2. It is a good policy on a gas fired unit to have between 3.5% and 4% oxygen present in the combustion. This will give you 10.5% to 9.5% carbon dioxide. The carbon monoxide level should always be less than 400 PPM.
Secondary Air Adjustment Procedure for Fulton Gas Fired Steam Boilers
1. The secondary air control adjustment is located on the top, right-hand side of the burner assembly. This damper type air controller is used to introduce air to and through the blast tube of the burner. The purpose of the secondary air adjustment is to proportionately divide the air to the center or outer fire chamber. By moving the damper closed, the air is forced to the outside of the fire chamber with less air going down the blast tube area. By
pulling the damper open more air is forced down the blast tube and less on the outside wall of the deflector face and fire chamber.
2. It is important in the combustion process to maintain proper air mixtures between the outer surface and center of the blast tube area. On most boilers the damper is locked in a wide open position. However, if it is necessary to close the damper, care should be taken to close the damper slowly and no more than
1
/4 of the distance of the swing of the damper assembly.
3. A visual examination down the blast tube should reveal that no heat, flames or fumes are backing up through the burner plate area. If they are, the secondary damper must be opened up once again. Failure to remove the flame or gases from the blast tube area can cause a backfire as well as cause premature failure of electrodes, flame rods, and other burner components.
4. A visual inspection down the burner view port should also show the fire completely covering the furnace walls. If the fire is tunneling down or is not to the outside wall of the furnace, the efficiency will drop off. Close the secondary air damper until tunneling stops.

Operation
Boiler Controls
a. Flame safeguard burner control
This is the main control in the panel box. The programmer in conjunction with a sensing device, either a flame rod or an ultra violet scanner, "supervises" the ignition sequence - proves the flame is satisfactory - and finally "monitors" the established flame. Should any fault occur, either during the ignition sequence or during normal running, the programmer will immediately go to "lock-out" and the burner will shut down.
b. Low Water Cut-Off - Probe Type
Cuts off the unit when water level is too low after a 3 second time delay to avoid nuisance shut downs. As a standard feature, Fulton boilers are equipped with ASME CSD-1 Code controls which include a manual reset feature on the burner low water cut off relay and ASME CSD-1 Code controls also feature an independent second low water cut off relay. Press the low water reset button and the boiler will start.
CAUTION
Do not tamper with the safety features of the low water safety cut out.
c. Pressure Relief Valve
Limits the maximum operating pressure of the boiler.
d. Operating Steam Pressure Control
Located in the control panel box and connected to the steam pressure gauge assembly by means of a copper tube. The pressure control regulates the on/off cycle of the burner, shutting the burner off when maximum pressure is reached and switching on when the steam pressure falls below a predetermined level.
e. Sight Glass Isolation Valves
The brass sight glass isolation valves are equipped with an internal ball check. In the event that a sight glass should break, the ball will seat, preventing the discharge of steam and water. The brass valve stem must be opened fully to enable this feature. If the valve is in any other position than full open, the ball will not seat. For added safety all Fulton boilers are equipped with gauge glass protectors.
f. High Limit Pressure Control
Located in the control panel box and connected to the water column assembly by means of a copper tube. The pressure is usually set 10 to 15 PSI (.703 - 1.054 kg/cm
2
) above the operating pressure, but below the maximum pressure of the pressure relief valve. If the pressure exceeds the high limit pressure control setting, the boiler will automatically shut off. The high limit pressure control must be manually reset by depressing the plunger located on top of the control.
g. Air Pressure Switch
Mounted on the burner scroll, this switch is operated by the pressure of air entering the burner through the throat of the scroll. Absence of air, or insufficient pressure, will prevent the switch completing the circuit, thus preventing the burner from operating.
WARNING
When stopping the boiler for any extensive repairs, shut off main disconnect switches on both the boiler side as well as the feed water side.
NOTE
To ensure that your Fulton Steam Boiler is kept operating safely and efficiently, follow the maintenance procedures set forth in Section 4 of this manual.

Air and Gas Adjustment for LE Models
The low emission burner can be best described as a fuel staged, multi-radial injection type. Two air/gas ratio electro servo actuators control the fuel supplied to this burner. A radial blade type fan supplies the air. A direct-coupled reversing actuator modulates the air which in turn regulates the fuel input. No mechanical linkage is utilized with this system. As a safety device, a thermocouple is placed in the small partial premix area of the burner to monitor temperature. It is used in conjunction with a temperature limit that should be set between 600° and 700°F.
Commissioning/Start Up for LE Models
WARNING
Commissioning/Start Up by a non­Fulton authorized person will void the product warranty.
Before commissioning the boiler, verify with authorized personnel that the gas lines have been purged.

BEFORE LEAVING THE INSTALLATION
Check all controls to insure they are operating properly. Cycle the boiler several times. Make sure the installation complies with all applicable codes.
NOTE
Decreasing the primary will typically decrease the NOx levels. If the primary is decreased too much, stability may be compromised.
a. Start the boiler and check for stable
combustion at low fire. Refer to the test fire sheet for acceptable parameters.
b. Adjust secondary servo air/gas if
needed to bring combustion into an acceptable range. Adjust carefully as this is the main fuel adjustment.
c. After a stable flame is achieved and the
combustion is within the test fire sheet parameters, manually and slowly drive the servo’s motor to high fire insuring that the combustion readings stay within the given parameters. Adjust secondary servo as needed.
d. If the last elbow pressure is above or
below the stated requirement on the test fire sheet, adjust the combustion air damper to bring the last elbow pressure inline. The gas pressure is directly proportional to the air pressure and therefore, increasing the air pressure to the burner will increase the gas input proportionally.
e. Manually drive the unit back to low fire
and check combustion.
f. If the combustion is outside of the test
fire parameters for the servo, adjust the secondary.
g. After the unit is brought back into range,
manually drive the unit back to high fire.
h. Adjust secondary air/gas ratio slightly if
needed.
i. Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times until
you obtain consistency in high and low fire combustion.
j. In most cases, the primary gas should
only be adjusted if the unit is unstabe at low fire and/or NOx are not acceptable at low fire.
Operation
Page 40
32
CAUTION
During startup insure that adequate gas pressure is supplied to the main valves. The indicator on the actuator should never reach the bottom of the indicator window. In the event that this happens, adjustability will be lost. See minimum incoming gas pressure requirement on the test fire sheet. The SKP10 actuator functions only as on/off. When activated, the indicator will reach the bottom of the indication window. The main gas pressure regulator is only used to comply with standard regulations and therefore uses a high outlet pressure spring that is set at the max. The SKP70 fuel valves have a built in regulator function.

Flame Scanner Adjustments for Fulton Gas Fired Steam Boilers
1. Flame scanner adjustments are made with the detectors installed and the burner running. It is essential to obtain optimum flame signal detection for safe and continual operation of the control relay.
2. If a scanner is inoperable, it may prove the detector is working and only an adjustment to the pilot flame is needed to improve the signal.
3. If the scanner is found to be defective, replace.
NOTE
The scanner is located on the outside edge of the burner top plate for 40, 80, and 100 HP.
4. For the RM7800 Series use a keyboard display module or volt meter. The flame safeguard will require a 1.25 VDC signal to pull in the main flame. Then a maximum signal should be obtained on main flame (5.0 VDC).

Furnace Refractory Replacement Procedure
1. Remove the burner plate and top plate assembly up and out of the air to air heat exchanger.
2. Remove the stainless steel combustion ring from the furnace .
3. Remove the clean-out plugs from the bottom sides of the boiler. The boiler has two clean out plugs, one is located at the bottom of the boiler to the right hand side of the panel box. The second one is 180 degrees on the opposite side of the boiler.
4. Break off the top holding clips that were used to keep the refractory in position during shipping. The boiler has welded flat bars beneath the top refractory. These bars will have to be cut to change the lower refractory. Rewelding of the bars will be required prior to installation of the top refractory. For the lower refractory you will also need to break off the top holding clips that were used to keep the refractory in position during shipment.
5. Break up the top and/or bottom refractories and remove the pieces from the boiler through the clean-out

2. Break off top holding clips.
3. Remove ceramic fiber burner tile.
4. Replace burner tile bottom holding clips if needed.
5. Replace with new burner tile.
6. Carefully replace scroll assembly so that the ceramic fiber burner tile is not damaged.
Servo Motor Replacement For LE Models
If it is determined that a servo motor needs to be replaced, the first step in this process is to verify the model number of the new servo motor is the same as the old servo motor.
The model number starts with the letters SQM and is displayed on a label on the side of the motor. Once the new motor has been verified to be correct, turn power to the boiler off.
1. Turn off all electricity to the boiler.
2. Remove the cover on the servo motor to be changed.
3. Remove the green wiring plugs and the conduit termination point from the motor by pulling them towards you. A black grounding wire runs from the motor to the conduit termination point. Pull it off from the conduit termination point.
4. Also note the location of the jumper on the left side of the motor.
5. Loosen the allen screws on the motor end of the motor to valve coupling.
6. Unbolt the motor from the mounting bracket and remove the motor.
7. Turn the valve so it is in the closed position and can rotate clockwise to open.
8. Mark the coupling or valve shaft if needed so the position of the valve can be determined when the servo motor is installed.
9. Bolt the new servo motor on to the mounting bracket with the motor shaft inserted into the coupling.
10. Rotate the valve shaft/coupling assembly closed as stated above.
11.While holding the valve closed, tighten the allen screws on the coupling.
12. Install the wired green wiring plugs and the conduit termination point on the new motor. Connect the black grounding wire from the motor to the conduit termination point.
13.Verify the jumper on the motor is located on the same pins as the motor that was replaced.

18. Attach cover to servo motor.
Recommended Daily Maintenance Schedule
The following procedures should be carried out daily. They are designed to prevent the build up of scale, silt, or sludge in the bottom of the boiler and in the pipes leading to the water gauge. In addition to these procedures, the advice of a water treatment supplier should be sought and followed. An ASME Section VIII blow-down receptacle must be provided for the appropriate pressure.
1. Blow down the boiler each morning by starting the boiler and generating not more than 10 PSI (.703 kg/cm
2
) of steam. Turn on tap water to blow-down separator, then open the boiler blow­down valves for approximately 10 seconds, then close the valve. Shut off tap water to blow-down separator.
Blow Down Boiler Daily. Shown is the blow down "Y" valve.
NOTE
If the boiler is being operated automatically on a time clock, the blow­down operation may be done once during the working day and once at the end of the day when at 10 PSIG or less.
2. Blow down water column each morning when boiler is at 10 PSI (.703 kg/cm
2
) by opening the water column and the water gauge blow-down valves for approximately 5 seconds, then close the valves.

3. If the feed water is being treated by compounds, make sure that this treatment is carried out carefully and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE
Fulton recommends that the feedwater treatment should be added between the pump and the boiler.
4. When first starting the boiler each day, make sure ignition and burner are working properly.
5. Check water level in sight glass.
6. Check to be sure feed water pump is working.
7. For float type water level control, blow down float chamber.
Recommended Weekly Maintenance Schedule
Check that the low water cut-off relay is operating correctly in the following manner:
1. Make sure that the boiler is cool with little or no pressure showing on the steam pressure gauge.
2. With the burner operating, open the boiler blow-down valves. When the water drops below the required level (note the level in the water gauge glass) the burner should shut off; this is when the water level falls below the low water electrode in the water column assembly and/or the boiler shell. Manual reset of the low water relay is required.
Recommended Monthly Maintenance Schedule
WARNING
Make sure main power switch is off before starting work.
1. Cleaning the water gauge glass:
CAUTION
Do not clean the gauge or gauge glass while pressurized or in operation.
a. Clean the water gauge glass using a
commercial non-abrasive glass cleaner. Use diluted acids such as hydrochloric (muriatic) acid when regular cleaners do not seem to work. Do not use wire brushes or any other abrasive materials which could scratch the glass. If any leakage is evident, replace the gaskets.
b. Always replace the high impact
plastic gauge glass protector which is standard on all Fulton Boilers.
2. Clean water pump strainers.
3. Check scanner or flame rod and ignition electrodes.
4. Check starter contacts. Burned or pitted contacts should be replaced. Do not use sand paper or file to clean.
5. Clean water traps and strainers in fuel lines.
6. Check operation of all steam traps on condensate return system.
7. Remove brass pipe plug at the cross connection below water column and clean nipple into boiler. Boiler must be cold and water level below pipe.
Recommended Semi­Annual Maintenance Schedule
1. Cleaning the gas burner assembly:
a. Disconnect the gas head from the
burner by disconnecting the union. Remove the burner plate screws.
Withdraw the burner assembly and clean the flame rod and ignition electrode.
b. Check that the settings of the flame
rod, if applicable, and ignition electrode correspond to those in the illustration below.
c. Reassemble the burner assembly
and check the flame rod setting or scanner setting.
d. Check the combustion efficiency of
the burner and adjust if necessary.
e. Clean probe on top of boiler shell and
probes in water column. There must be no pressure on the boiler during the removal of the probes.
f. Check refractories for soot or
breakage and inspect the stainless steel ring (50-100 HP only).
g. With the boiler under no more than 15
PSI pressure, check that the steam safety valve is operating by lifting the lever.
2. Drain condensate tank and clean tank by flushing with hose. Check float valve operation.
3. Check electrical controls and motors for correct operation.
4. Check water pump for correct operation.
5. Shut off the boiler completely and drain.
6. Remove the hand holes and inspect the interior of the vessel for scale or sludge deposits. The amount of deposits will indicate the efficiency of the water treatment being used. The frequency of the inspection will depend on the condition of the water side of the boiler.
7. Replace hand hole gaskets using the following procedure:
a. Remove the hand hole assembly
using a 1
1
/4 " tee handle wrench or 1
1

b. Remove the old gasket and
thoroughly clean the surface on the boiler and the plate.
c. Fit the hand hole assembly as follows:
i. Place the gasket on the hand hole plate and ensure that it is seating correctly. Do not use any grease, lubricant, or adh esive.
ii. Position the plate in the boiler. Set the yoke and tighten the securing nut sufficiently enough to provide a snug fit. Verify the position of the plate in the boiler, then make it hand tight and then snug with wrench about
1
/4 turn.
Do not compress excessively.
Illustration shows correct pressure on gasket.
iii. If the gasket leaks while pressure is being built up, tighten only enough to stop leakage. Never tighten more than necessary to prevent leakage. Excessive tightening may shorten the life of the gasket.
Illustration shows over-compressed gasket.
d. Refill the boiler with fresh water.
NOTE
After a new Fulton Boiler has been in operation for several months, pieces of burned metal will be found in the space at the bottom of the boiler. These pieces of metal are the remains of a light gauge metal form which was used during manufacture for forming the boiler insulation. This is a normal condition and does not affect the efficiency or the life of the boiler in any way.
Recommended Annual Maintenance Schedule
1. Have combustion (CO2, O2, CO) and input checked by responsible personnel.
2. Dirty flues can cause air flow restrictions resulting in poor combustion and loss of efficiency. Clean flues as follows:
a. Remove the outer flue cover plate.
b. Remove inner plate and turbultors.
c. Remove clean out plugs at lowest
part of unit and clean the bottom of combustion chamber.
d. Remove all soot from the top, and
from the clean out plugs at the bottom with a vacuum cleaner.
e. Replace clean out plugs carefully so
as not to damage insulation and replace burner and flue cover plates.
3. Flush boiler out if necessary. See Section 2 for proper procedure for "Cleaning the Pressure Vessel."
4. Provide annual inspection by a qualified ASME Boiler inspector.
Troubleshooting
The following trouble shooting guide will assist in the diagnosis and the correction of minor field problems. It contains instructions and information necessary to locate and isolate possible troubles which occur during normal operation. It should be used in conjunction with the unit wiring diagram and the component literature provided in Section 7 of this manual.

Boiler Safety Testing – Fulton Vertical Steam Boilers
High Pressure Limit Switch:
With the burner on and the boiler under pressure, lower the set pressure on the switch until it
trips and shuts down the burner. Ensure the pressure that the switch trips at is the same as the boiler operating pressure.
To test the manual reset button, wait until the boiler has fully completed the post purge phase.
Once the boiler is in the standby position, reset the switch to the original set point.
Press the manual reset switch on the pressuretrol. This will ensure that the manual reset switch is
functioning correctly. The burner should not start until the reset button is pressed.
Operating Pressure Limit Switch:
With the boiler under pressure, lower the set pressure on the switch until it trips and shuts down
the burner. Be sure that the pressure that the switch trips at is the same as the boiler operating pressure.
This switch is an auto reset. Reset the switch to the original set point. The burner should turn back on automatically.
Flame Scanner:
Verify that the flame scanner is observing flame with the burner running. Turn boiler to the off position. NOTE
o Do not shut off gas supply with boiler operation. This can lead to a potentially dangerous
situation.
Close both the main gas supply isolation valve and gas pilot line isolation valve. Turn the boiler to the on position. The boiler will proceed through the ignition sequence. Once
burner control completes the ignition sequence, the burner control should display fault code for pilot flame failure.
During the pilot sequence, burner control should not display any flame signal during scanner test
with gas valves turned to the off position. If flame signal is present, troubleshooting will be required to identify cause of the spark pickup.
Turn the boiler to the off position and open the gas pilot line isolation valve while leaving the
main gas isolation valve in the closed position. This will allow for the burner to cycle through the pilot sequence and test main flame failure. The burner control should display fault code for main flame failure. Turn the boiler off after this test is complete.
o Typically on boilers 30 HP and below, the pilot flame will be sufficient to allow the
boiler to cycle through the main flame test. If this occurs, slowly shut the pilot line isolation valve. This will cause the boiler to fail on main flame.
Once the boiler has completed the post purge cycle, turn the boiler to the off position. Open the
main gas supply valve, turn the boiler to the on position and resume normal operation.

Low Water Cutoffs:
Definition: Each cutoff device shall be installed to prevent startup and to cut off the boiler fuel or energy supply automatically, prior to the fall of the water level below the lowest visible part of the gauge glass.
Standard low water cutoff is Fulton level probes. Alternate cutoffs are MM-63, MM-150, MM-157, MM-193-7b, etc. All cutoffs are tested in the same manner as described below.
When testing the low water cutoff devices, it is important that the boiler feed pump is turned off to allow for proper draining. Remember to turn the pumps back on when level cutoff testing is complete.
Testing of Low Water Cutoff Controls: Your Fulton steam boiler is equipped with two automatic Low-Water Cut-Off (LWCO) controls. Each
LWCO will prevent startup and cut off the boiler fuel or energy supply automatically when the surface of the water falls to a level not lower than the lowest visible part of the gage glass. One control is set to function ahead of the other. The standard Fulton LWCO control utilizes a water level probe and incorporates a 3 seconds time delay to prevent short cycling. Optional float type LWCO controls may also be used on the boiler.
The LWCO controls can be tested by lowering the water in the boiler. The test should be done with zero steam pressure in the boiler, or not more than 10 PSI.
Shut off the make-up water supply to the boiler. Open the blow-down valve at the back of the boiler to allow the water level to slowly drop until ¾” and
1” of water level is visible sight glass and close the blow down valve. The first LWCO control will drop
out within 3 seconds and cut off the boiler fuel or energy supply. This LWCO control is typically configured to automatically reset when the adequate water level in the boiler is restored. Some local jurisdictions require this LWCO control to be a manual reset.
Open the blow-down valve at the back of the boiler to allow the water level to slowly drop until 1/8” to
1/4” of water level is visible sight glass and close the blow down valve. The second LWCO control will
drop out within 3 seconds and cut off the boiler fuel or energy supply. This LWCO control is configured for manual reset. When the adequate water level in the boiler is restored you have to momentarily press the LWCO manual reset button to enable operation of the boiler.
Air Switch:
To test the air switch, first turn the boiler to the off position. Once the boiler is off, remove the air supply from the air switch and turn on the boiler. Once the
boiler is in the purge process, the safety interlock should appear and shut down the burner.
Turn the burner off and reattach the air switch air supply. Reset the flame programmer. Cycle the boiler multiple times to be sure that no nuisance faults occur.
Page 51
Low Gas Pressure Switch:
Bring boiler to high fire (100% firing rate) Increase the dial on the low gas pressure switch until it trips and locks out the boiler Make note of the pressure that the burner shuts down at Once the gas switch trips, set the pressure switch to 50% lower than the value that the switch
tripped at – Example: gas switch trips at 10 in. w.c., set the switch to 5 in. w.c.
Reset the switch and flame programmer Cycle the burner and observe for proper operation
High Gas Pressure Switch:
Bring boiler to low fire (0% firing rate) Decrease the dial on the high gas pressure switch until it trips and locks out the boiler Make note of the pressure that the burner shuts down at Once the switch trips, set the pressure switch to 50% higher than the value that the switch tripped
at – Example: gas switch trips at 10 in. w.c., set the switch to 15 in. w.c.
Reset the switch and flame programmer Cycle the burner and observe for proper operation
Proof of Closure:
Disconnect power to the boiler While the boiler is off, remove the common wire to the proof of closure switch and install a wire
nut on the end of switch or wrap in tape to properly protect the wire.
Turn power to the boiler back on The boiler should immediately lock out on alarm due to the POC being disconnected. Disconnect power and reconnect the POC wire Turn power to the boiler back on and reset any flame programmer faults Cycle the burner and observe for proper operation
Flashback Protection:
Locate the flashback protection device and change the setting to the lowest setting. This is
typically 32 deg. F.
o To change the setting, the “Set/Reset” button must be pressed as the wheel is rotated
The device will generate an alarm Reset the device to the factory temperature setting. This is typically 750 deg. F for standard
steam units.
Try to turn on the burner. It should not work as the reset button on the control has not yet been
pressed.
Press the reset button on the controller. The boiler should now operate correctly.
