The hydronic supply and return connections of these products are for installation in closed loop systems ONLY! Use of this product in any manner other than described in this manual may result in premature product failure, substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Damage or failure of this product (or the system in which it is installed) due to unauthorized use IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

NOTICE

The CSD-1 ASME Code, Section CW-400 requires that hot water heating and supply boilers have a) a UL 353 temperature control device, b) at least one (1) temperature-actuated control to shut off the fuel supply when system water reaches a preset operating temperature, c) a high temperature limit control that prevents the water temperature from exceeding the maximum allowable temperature by causing a safety shutdown and lockout, and d) its own sensing element and operating switch.

The temperature control system integrated into the 926 control provided with this heating appliance complies with the requirements of CSD-1 Section CW-400 as a temperature operation control. The control monitors the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet sensor, which is affected by boiler water flow. If this temperature difference exceeds 55°F (typically because of low water flow or very low heat load), the control will reduce the maximum fan speed. If the temperature difference exceeds 60°F, the control will effectively sense there is little or no water flow or heat load and shut the boiler down. The controller will restart automatically once the temperature difference has dropped below 55°F and the minimum off time (anti-cycle time) has expired. In addition, if the control senses that the outlet water temperature has reached 210°F, the boiler is put into a hard lockout and requires manual reset to restart.

Code for the Installation of Heat Producing Appliances (latest version), from American Insurance Association, 85 John Street, New York, NY 11038.

The latest version of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70. NOTE: The gas manifold and controls met safe lighting and other performance criteria when the boiler underwent tests specified in

ANSI Z21.13 – latest edition.

INSTALLER – Read all instructions in this manual before installing. Perform steps in the order given.

USER – This manual is for use only by a qualified heating installer/service technician. Refer to user’s information manual for your reference. Have this boiler serviced/inspected by a qualified service technician annually.

FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE GUIDELINES ON THIS PAGE AND HAVE THIS BOILER SERVICED/INSPECTED ANNUALLY CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call a qualified service technician.

The appliance MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged. Attempting to operate an appliance that has been submerged could create numerous harmful conditions, such as a potential gas leakage causing a fire and/or explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful particulates into the air. Operating a previously submerged appliance could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

NOTE: Appliance damage due to flood or submersion is considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.

NOTE: If the boiler is exposed to the following, do not operate until all corrective steps have been made by a qualified serviceman:

 FIRE  DAMAGE  WATER

Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.

Due to low water content of the boiler, improperly sizing the boiler in regard to heating system load will result in excessive boiler cycling and accelerated component failure. HTP DOES NOT warrant failures caused by improperly sized boiler applications. DO NOT oversize the boiler to the system. Modular boiler installations greatly reduce the likelihood of boiler oversizing.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilating air. Adequate air must be provided for safe operation. Failure to keep the exhaust vent and intake pipe clear of ice, snow, or other debris could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

PART 1 – GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

A. PRECAUTIONS

This appliance is for indoor installations only. Clearance to combustible materials: 0” top, bottom, sides and back. Front must have room for service, 24” recommended. (A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable front clearance.) This appliance has been approved for closet installation. Do not install this appliance directly on carpeting. This appliance may be installed on combustible flooring. For use with Category IV vent systems only.

B. GAS

Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to the circulator. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location external to the appliance.

C. IMPROPER COMBUSTION

D. WHEN SERVICING THE BOILER

 To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing maintenance.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 8

NEVER use any toxic chemical, including automotive, standard glycol antifreeze, or ethylene glycol made for hydronic (non-potable) systems. These chemicals can attack gaskets and seals in water boilers, are poisonous if consumed, and can cause injury or death.

Consider piping and installation when determining boiler location.

 To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before servicing.

E. BOILER OPERATION

 Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to boiler.  Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to circulator. Instead, shut

off the gas supply at a location external to the appliance.

 Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately

call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been under water.

F. BOILER WATER

 Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in a

boiler system. These products may damage gaskets and seals in the system. This can result in substantial property damage.

 Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent medicines”.

Substantial property damage, damage to boiler, and/or serious personal injury may result.

 Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life. Mineral buildup

reduces heat transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat exchanger, and causes failure. Addition of oxygen by make-up water can cause internal corrosion in system components. Leaks in the boiler or piping must be repaired at once.

 If you have an old system with cast iron radiators, thoroughly flush

the system (without boiler connected) to remove sediment. The highefficiency heat exchanger can be damaged by build-up or corrosion due to sediment.

G. FREEZE PROTECTION

NOTE: Damages resulting from incorrect installation or from use of products not approved by HTP, Inc. ARE NOT covered by warranty.

PART 2 – BEFORE YOU START

A. WHAT’S IN THE BOX

Also included with the boiler:

 Pressure and Temperature Gauge  Outdoor Sensor  Installation Manual  Warranty  CSD-1 Form  H-3 Data Sheet

B. HOW BOILER OPERATES

Mod Con boilers are designed to meet the needs of the most challenging new and retrofit installations. Mod Con 1000 and 1700 models incorporate two individual heating systems that are piped, wired, and programmed to work as one, providing built-in system redundancy and maximum turndown and efficiency. Outlined below are features of the system and how each operates.

Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger - The highly efficient stainless steel heat exchanger is designed to use the cold return water from the system and extract the last bit of heat before it is exhausted.

Modulating Combustion System - The combustion system will modulate the output of the burner during operation to match the system demand and achieve the control set point while in operation. The set point can change by internal or external signals which enhance the overall performance of the system.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 9

Control – The integrated control system monitors the system and regulates fan speed, controlling the output of each boiler and staging the individual heating circuits to maximize overall efficiency. This allows the Mod Con to deliver only the amount of heat energy required and nothing more. The system can be further enhanced by installing with an indirect water heater to provide domestic hot water.

The control can regulate the output of multiple boilers through its cascade system function. The cascade system is capable of connecting up to eight boilers together in such a way that they function as one boiler system. This allows for greater turn down ratios and provides systematic control of the multiple boilers in an installation to minimize downtime and maximize efficiency.

The cascade system works by establishing one boiler as the master and the other connected boilers as followers. The master boiler requires a cascade system sensor and a cascade pump in addition to its own boiler pump. Each of the follower boilers has an individual pump.

System Display and Operational LED Light Indicators – The display allows the user to change the system parameters and monitor system outputs.

Gas Valve – Senses suction from the blower, allowing gas to flow only if powered and combustion air is flowing. Integrated Venturi (1000 Models) or Swirl Plate (1700 Models) – Controls air and gas flow into the burner. Burner – Constructed of high grade stainless steel, the burner uses premixed air and gas fuel to provide a wide range of firing rates. Spark Ignition – The burner is ignited by applying high voltage through the system spark electrode. This causes the spark from the

electrode to ignite mixed gas from the burner. Supply Water Temperature Sensor – This sensor monitors the boiler outlet water temperature (System Supply). The control adjusts

the boiler firing rate so the supply temperature will match the boiler set point.

Return Water Temperature Sensor – This sensor monitors the boiler return water temperature (System Return). System Sensor – This sensor is mounted in the boiler common piping and monitors the water temperature of the outlet of both boilers

simultaneously. The master boiler uses this sensor as its primary feedback to control the outlet water temperature of a cascaded boiler system.

Temperature and Pressure Gauge – Allows the user to monitor system temperature and pressure. Electrical field connections with terminal strips – The electrical cover allows easy access to the line voltage and low voltage

terminals strips which are clearly marked to facilitate wiring of the boiler. Condensation Collection System – This boiler is a high efficiency appliance, therefore the boiler will produce condensate. The

collection system has a float switch which monitors the condensation level and prevents condensation from backing up into the combustion system. Inside the collection system there is a built in trap which seals the combustion system from the connected drain. This condensate should be neutralized to avoid damage to the drainage system or piping.

Flow Protection – The optional flow switch is designed to protect the boiler in the event of low flow conditions. The boiler control will also monitor flow through the heat exchanger by monitoring the return and supply sensors and will shut down the burner before overheating occurs.

Outdoor Sensor – This sensor monitors outdoor temperature. Data from this sensor is monitored by the control, which adjusts the unit set point to provide greater efficiency.

Indirect Tank Sensor (optional) – Monitors storage tank temperature.

C. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Below is a list of optional equipment available from HTP. These additional options may be purchased through your HTP distributor.

 Remote System Sensor (Part # 7250P-324)  Indirect Tank Sensor (Part # 7250P-325)  6” Stainless Steel Outside Termination Vent Kit (V3000)  High and Low Gas Pressure Switch Kit with Manual Reset (Part # 7350P-600) (Two (2) are required)  U.L. 353 Compliant Low Water Cut-Off Interface Kit with Manual Reset (Part # 7350P-601) (Two (2) are required)  Alarm System (Part # 7350P-602) (to monitor any failure) (Top Boiler Only)  PC Connection Kit (Part # 7250P-320)  Condensate Neutralizer (Part # 7350P-611)  Caster Kit (Part # 7350P-227)  Flow Switch Kit (Part # 7350P-741) (Two (2) are required)

Carefully consider installation when determining boiler location. Please read the entire manual before attempting installation. Failure to properly take factors such as boiler venting, piping, condensate removal, and wiring into account before installation could result in wasted time, money, and possible property damage and personal injury.

Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the heating system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that the boiler installation location adheres to the information included in this manual. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

Failure of boiler or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.

The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as the casing, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heat exchanger, are directly influenced by proximity to damp and salty marine environments. In such areas, higher concentration levels of chlorides from sea spray coupled with relative humidity can lead to degradation of the heat exchanger and other boiler components. In these environments, boilers must not be installed using direct vent systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such boilers must be installed using room air for combustion. Indoor air will have a much lower relative humidity and, hence, potential corrosion will be minimized.

This boiler is certified for indoor installations only. Do not install the boiler outdoors. Failure to install this boiler indoors could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Failure to keep boiler area clear and free of combustible materials, liquids, and vapors can result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

 Stainless to PVC Vent Adapter (6” - Part # 7350P-275, 8” Part # 7350P-375)  Intake / Exhaust Screen (6” – Part # SSV6.6, 8” – Part # SSV8.6)

NOTE: When using an optional system sensor, pipe insulation must be wrapped around it to improve temperature measurement accuracy and increase overall system efficiency.

PART 3 – PREPARE BOILER LOCATION

A. BEFORE LOCATING THE BOILER

1. Installation Area (Mechanical Room) Operating Conditions

 Ensure ambient temperatures are higher than 32oF/0oC and lower than 104oF/40oC.  Prevent the air from becoming contaminated by the products, places, and conditions listed in this manual, Part 3, Section F.  Avoid continuously high levels of humidity  Never close existing ventilation openings

2. Check for nearby connections to:

 System water piping  Venting connections  Gas supply piping  Electrical power  Condensate drain

3. Check area around boiler. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.

4. Gas control system components must be protected from dripping water during operation and service.

5. If the boiler is to replace an existing boiler, check for and correct any existing system problems, such as:

 System leaks  Location that could cause the system and boiler to freeze and leak.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 11

Assure that the floor and structure of the installation location are sufficient to support the full installed weight of the boiler, including water content of the heat exchanger and related piping. Failure to ensure the floor and structure of the installation location are structurally sound before installation of the boiler can result in structural failure, substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

This boiler is approved for installation on combustible flooring, but must never be installed on carpeting. Installing this boiler on carpeting could result in fire, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

In order for the condensate to properly flow out of the collection system, the area where you locate the boiler must be level. The boiler comes equipped with leveling feet. Should you find the floor beneath the boiler is uneven, adjust the leveling feet with a wrench.

 Incorrectly-sized expansion tank

6. Clean and flush system when reinstalling a boiler. NOTE: This boiler must be installed within the prescribed clearances. If local building codes require additional clearance, these codes

supersede HTP’s. It is recommended to make note of the boiler model and serial number before finalizing installation.

B. FLOORING

C. LEVELING AND DIMENSIONS

NOTE: It is recommended that the boiler be installed on a 4 – 6” raised boiler pad, rated for the weight of the fully operational boiler and related piping. If flooding is a concern, it is recommended to further elevate the boiler pad to prevent water from reaching the boiler.

Figure 1 - Leveling

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 12

Space must be provided with combustion / ventilation air openings correctly sized for all appliances located in the same space as the boiler. The boiler venting cover must be securely fastened to prevent it from drawing air from the boiler room. This is particularly important if the boiler is in a room with other appliances. Failure to comply with the above warnings could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Figure 2 – Specifications and Dimensions

D. CLEARANCES FOR SERVICE ACCESS

See Figure 3 for recommended service clearances. If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown, it might not be possible to service the boiler without removing it from the space.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 13

Check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction for requirements when installing boiler. Please read the entire manual before attempting installation. Failure to properly take factors such as boiler venting, piping, condensate removal, and wiring into account before installation could result in wasted time, money, and possible property damage and personal injury.

Failure to vent the appliance properly will result in serious personal injury or death.

Vents must be properly supported. Appliance exhaust and intake connections are not designed to carry heavy weight. Vent support

brackets must be within 1’ of the appliance and the balance at 4’ intervals. Appliance must be readily accessible for visual inspection for the first 3’ from the appliance.

Figure 3 – Service Clearances

E. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE

The appliance is rated ANSI Z21.13 Category IV (pressurized vent, likely to form condensate in the vent) and requires a special vent system designed for pressurized venting.

NOTE: The venting options described here (and further detailed in the Venting section of this manual) are the lone venting options approved for this appliance. Failure to vent the appliance in accordance with the provided venting instructions will void the warranty.

1. DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION OF EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE

If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn from the outdoors directly into the appliance intake, and exhaust must terminate outside. There are three basic direct vent options detailed in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2. Roof Venting, and 3. Unbalanced Venting.

Be sure to locate the appliance such that the exhaust vent and intake piping can be routed through the building and properly terminated. Different vent terminals can be used to simplify and eliminate multiple penetrations in the building structure (see Optional Equipment in Venting Section). The exhaust vent and intake piping lengths, routing and termination methods must all comply with the methods and limits given in the Venting section of this manual.

When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air. NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 1.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 14

When drawing combustion air from the outside into the mechanical room, care must be taken to provide adequate freeze protection.

Do not attempt to vent this appliance by any means other than those described in this manual. Doing so will void the warranty, and may result in severe personal injury or death.

Failure to provide an adequate fresh combustion air can cause poisonous flue gases to enter living space, which could result in severe personal injury or death. To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 1.

You must pipe outside air to the boiler intake. Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants below. For example, do not pipe intake near a swimming pool. Avoid areas subject to exhaust fumes from laundry facilities. These areas always contain contaminants. Contaminated air will damage the boiler, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

2. INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR INSTALLATION IN CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE

This appliance requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe operation and must be installed in a mechanical room where there is adequate combustion and ventilating air. NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 1.

Combustion air from the indoor space can be used if the space has adequate area or when air is provided through a duct or louver to supply sufficient combustion air based on the appliance input. Never obstruct the supply of combustion air to the appliance. If the appliance is installed in areas where indoor air is contaminated (see Table 1) it is imperative that the appliance be installed as direct vent so that all combustion air is taken directly from the outdoors into the appliance intake connection.

Unconfined space is space with volume greater than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space. Rooms connected directly to this space, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered part of the space.

Confined space is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space. Rooms connected directly to this space, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered part of the space.

When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally constructed building to a confined space, such space should be provided with two permanent openings: one located 6” (15 cm) below the space ceiling, the other 6” (15cm) above the space floor. Each opening should have a free area of one square inch per 1,000 Btu/hr (22cm2/kW) of the total input of all appliances in the space, but not less than 100 square inches (645cm2).

If the confined space is within a building of tight construction, air for combustion must be obtained from the outdoors as outlined in the Venting Section of this manual.

F. PREVENT COMBUSTION AIR CONTAMINATION

Install intake piping for the boiler as described in the Venting section. Do not terminate exhaust in locations that can allow contamination of intake air.

Table 1 – Contaminants

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE BOILER CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

(Refer to the limited warranty for complete terms and conditions).

Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.

Uncrating Boiler – Any claims for damage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.

Cold Weather Handling – If boiler has been stored in a very cold location (below 0oF) before installation, handle with care until the plastic components come to room temperature.

Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the warranty and may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Do not install the boiler into a common vent with any other boiler. This will cause flue gas spillage or boiler malfunction, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Figure 4 – CO Warning Label

G. REMOVING A BOILER FROM A COMMON VENT SYSTEM

When removing an existing boiler, the following steps must be followed.

1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies that could cause an unsafe condition.

3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the common venting system and other spaces in the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close all fireplace dampers.

4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously.

5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle or smoke from a cigarette.

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

7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1.

H. UNCRATING AND MOVING BOILER

The boiler is very heavy. If the location is not level, adjust the boiler’s leveling feet to ensure a level boiler and proper flow of condensate. If surface flooring is rough, care should be taken not to catch the leveling feet and damage the boiler when moving it into position.

PART 4 – BOILER PIPING

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 16

Never use dielectric unions or galvanized steel fittings when connecting to a stainless steel storage tank or boiler. Failure to follow this instruction can lead to premature failure of the boiler system. Such failures ARE NOT covered by warranty.

The building piping system must meet or exceed the piping requirements in this manual.

Use two wrenches when tightening water piping at the appliance. Use one wrench to prevent the appliance return or supply line from turning. Failure to prevent piping connections from turning could cause damage to appliance components.

The control module uses temperature sensors to provide both high limit protection and modulating temperature control. The control module also provides low water protection by sensing the water level in the heat exchanger. Some codes/jurisdictions may require additional external controls.

To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:

 Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal.  Terminate the discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of severe burns or property damage should the relief

valve discharge.

 Discharge line must be as short as possible and the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length.  Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve and terminate at least 6” above the floor drain, making discharge clearly

visible.

 Discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375oF or greater.  Do not pipe discharge to any location where freezing could occur.  No shutoff valve may be installed between the relief valve and boiler or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place any

obstruction in the discharge line.

 Test the operation of the relief valve after filling and pressurizing the system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve

discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, replace it with a new relief valve.

 Test relief valve at least once annually to ensure the waterway is clear. If valve does not operate, turn the boiler “off” and call

a plumber immediately.

 Take care whenever operating relief valve to avoid scalding injury or property damage.  For boilers installed with only a pressure relief valve, the separate storage vessel must have a temperature and pressure relief

valve installed. This relief valve shall comply with Relief Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 CSA4.4

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE GUIDELINES COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF RELIEF VALVE OPERATION, RESULTING IN POSSIBILITY OF SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Plumbing of this product should only be done by a qualified, licensed plumber in accordance with all local plumbing codes. The boiler may be connected to an indirect water heater to supply domestic hot water. HTP offers 119 and 175 gallon size indirect water heaters in stainless steel or glass-lined construction. These storage tanks can be directly connected to the boiler supply and return connection.

A. GENERAL PIPING INFORMATION

B. RELIEF VALVE

Connect discharge piping to a safe disposal location following the guidelines on the following page.

C. BACKFLOW PREVENTER

Use a backflow preventer specifically designed for hydronic boiler installations. This valve should be installed on the cold water fill supply line per local codes (see Boiler Piping Details).

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 17

All piping methods shown in this manual use primary/secondary connection to the boiler loop. This is to avoid the possibility of inadequate flow through the boiler. For other piping methods, consult your local HTP representative, or refer to Boiler Piping Details in this manual.

Undersized expansion tanks cause system water to be lost from the relief valve, causing make-up water to be added. Eventual boiler failure can result due to excessive make-up water addition. SUCH FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

DO NOT install automatic air vents on closed type expansion tank systems. Air must remain in the system and return to the tank to provide an air cushion. An automatic air vent would cause air to leave the system, resulting in improper operation of the expansion tank.

DO NOT use the boiler circulator in any location other than the ones shown in this manual. The boiler circulator location is selected to ensure adequate flow through the boiler. Failure to comply with this caution could result in unreliable performance and nuisance shutdowns from insufficient flow.

D. SYSTEM WATER PIPING METHODS

EXPANSION TANK AND MAKE-UP WATER

1. Ensure that the expansion tank is sized to correctly handle boiler and system water volume and temperature.

Table 2

2. The expansion tank must be located as shown in Boiler Piping Details, or following recognized design methods. See expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for details.

3. Connect the expansion tank to the air separator only if the separator is on the suction side of the circulator. Always install the system fill connection at the same point as the expansion tank connection to the system.

4. Most chilled water systems are piped using a closed type expansion tank.

DIAPHRAGM (OR BLADDER) EXPANSION TANK

Always install an automatic air vent on top of the air separator to remove residual air from the system.

E. CIRCULATORS

SIZING SPACE HEAT SYSTEM PIPING

1. In all diagrams, the space heating system is isolated from the boiler loop by the primary/secondary connection.

2. Size the piping and components in the space heating system using recognized design methods.

F. HYDRONIC PIPING WITH CIRCULATORS, ZONE VALVES, AND MULTIPLE BOILERS

The boiler is designed to function in a closed loop hydronic system. The included temperature and pressure gauge allows the user to monitor system pressure and outlet temperature from the boiler. It is important to note that the boiler has a minimal amount of pressure drop that must be calculated when sizing the circulators. Each boiler installation must have an air elimination device that will remove air from the system.

Install the boiler so the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, etc.). Allow clearance for basic service of the boiler circulator, valves, and other components. Observe minimum 1” clearance around all uninsulated hot water pipes when openings around pipes are not protected by non-combustible materials.

On a boiler installed above radiation level, some states and local codes require a low water cut off device. This is provided standard on the Mod Con boiler. Check with local codes for additional requirements. If the boiler supplies hot water to heating coils in air handler units, flow control valves or other devices must be installed to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water in the coils during the cooling cycle. Chilled water medium must be piped in parallel with the boiler.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Freeze protection for new or existing systems must use glycol specifically formulated for this purpose. This glycol must include inhibitors that will prevent it from attacking metallic system components. Make certain that the system fluid is checked for the correct glycol concentration and inhibitor level. The system should be tested at least once a year and as recommended by the producer of the glycol solution. Allowance should be made for the expansion of the glycol solution in the system piping. Example: 50% by volume glycol solution expands 4.8% in volume for the temperature increase from 32oF to 180oF, while water expands 3% over the same temperature rise.

Basic steps are listed below that will guide the installation of the boiler.

1. Connect the system return marked “Boiler Return”.

2. Connect the system supply marked “Boiler Supply”.

3. Install purge and balance valve or shut off valve and drain on system return to purge air out of each zone.

4. Install a back flow preventer on the cold feed make-up water line.

5. Install a pressure reducing valve on the cold feed make-up water line (15 PSI nominal on the system return). Check temperature and pressure gauge when operating. It should read a minimum pressure of 12 PSI.

6. Install a circulator as shown in piping details (this section). Make sure the circulator is properly sized for the system and friction loss.

7. Install an expansion tank on the system supply. Consult the tank manufacturer’s instructions for specific information relating to expansion tank installation. Size the expansion tank for the required system volume and capacity.

8. Install an air elimination device on the system supply.

9. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the system. NOTE: The boiler cannot be drained completely of water without purging the unit with an air pressure of 15 PSI.

10. The relief valve is installed at the factory. A pipe discharge line should be installed to discharge 6” above the drain in the event of pressure relief. The pipe size must be the same size as the relief valve outlet. NEVER BLOCK THE OUTLET OF THE SAFETY

RELIEF VALVE.

G. CIRCULATOR SIZING

In addition, the boiler heat exchanger has a minimum total water volume that must be taken into account when sizing the circulator. Minimum boiler flow rates are listed in the table below.

Table 3 – Minimum Boiler Flow Rates

The boiler heat exchanger does have a pressure drop which must be considered in system design. Refer to the graph in Figure 5 for pressure drop through the boiler heat exchanger.

For installation that incorporates standing iron radiation and systems with manual vents at the high points, follow previous section and, starting with the nearest manual air vent, open until water flows out. Then close vent. Repeat procedure, working your way toward the furthest air vent. It may be necessary to install a basket strainer in an older system where larger amounts of sediment may be present. Annual cleaning of the strainer may be necessary.

Use only inhibited glycol solutions which are specially formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic systems. Glycol mixtures should not exceed 50%.

Figure 6 – Multiple Boiler Manifold Piping

H. FILL AND PURGE HEATING SYSTEM

 Attach the hose to balance and purge hose connector or drain valve and run hose to nearest drain.  Close the other side of the balance and purge valve or the shut off valve after the drain.  Open first zone balance and purge or drain valve to let water flow out the hose. If zone valves are used, open the valves one

at a time manually. (NOTE: You should check the valve manufacturer’s instructions prior to opening valves manually, so as not to damage the valves.)

 Manually operate fill valve regulator. When water runs out of the hose, you will see a steady stream of water (without bubbles).

Close balance and purge valve or drain to stop the water from flowing. Disconnect the hose and connect it to next zone to be purged.

 Repeat this procedure for additional zones (one at a time).

Upon completion, make sure that the fill valve is in the automatic position and each zone balance and purge or shut off is in an open position and zone valves are positioned for automatic operation.

I. FREEZE PROTECTION FLUIDS

1. Glycol in hydronic applications is specially formulated for this purpose, and includes inhibitors that prevent the glycol from attacking metallic system components. Make certain that the system fluid is checked for the correct glycol concentration and inhibitor level.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 21

It is highly recommended that you carefully follow the glycol manufacturer’s recommended concentrations, expansion requirements, and maintenance recommendations (pH additive breakdown, inhibitor reduction, etc.). Carefully figure the additional friction loss in the system as well as the reduction in heat transfer coefficients.

2. The glycol solution should be tested at least once a year and as recommended by the glycol manufacturer.

3. Anti-freeze solutions expand more than water. For example: A 50% by volume solution expands 4.8% in volume for a temperature increase from 32oF to 180oF, while water increases 3% over the same temperature rise. Allowances must be made for this expansion in the system design.

4. A 30% mixture of glycol will result in a BTU output loss of 15% with a 5% increase in head against the system circulator.

5. A 50% mixture of glycol will result in a BTU output loss of 30% with a 50% increase in head against the system circulator.

J. ZONING WITH ZONE VALVES

1. Connect the boiler to the system as shown in Boiler Piping Details when zoning with zone valves. The primary/secondary piping shown ensures the boiler loop will have sufficient flow. It also avoids applying the high head of the boiler circulator to the zone valves.

2. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect storage water heater.

K. ZONING WITH CIRCULATORS

1. Connect the boiler to the system when using circulator zoning as shown in Boiler Piping Details. NOTE: The boiler circulator cannot be used for a zone. It must only supply the boiler loop.

2. Install a separate circulator for each zone.

3. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect storage water heater.

L. MULTIPLE BOILERS

1. Connect multiple boilers as shown in Boiler Piping Details.

2. All piping shown is reverse return to assure balanced flow throughout the connected boilers.

3. Each connected boiler must have its own circulator pump to assure adequate flow.

4. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect storage water heater.

5. The system flow (secondary loop) must be greater than the primary (boiler) loop flow.

The boiler must be vented as detailed in this Venting Section. Ensure exhaust vent and intake piping complies with these instructions regarding vent system. Inspect finished exhaust vent and intake piping thoroughly to ensure all joints are well secured, airtight, and comply with all applicable code requirements, as well as with the instructions provided in this manual. Failure to properly install the vent system will result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

This boiler is certified as a “Category IV” appliance, and requires a special venting system. The vent system will operate with a positive pressure in the pipe. Exhaust gases must be piped directly outdoors using the vent materials and rules outlined in these instructions. Do not connect vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under positive pressure. Follow the venting instructions below carefully. Failure to do so will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Exhaust vent and intake pipes are to be piped separately. This boiler cannot share a common exhaust or intake with multiple appliances. Failure to follow this instruction will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.

Improper seating of vent pipe gaskets can cause eventual gasket failure and exhaust gas leakage. Ensure the exhaust vent pipe is properly beveled and seated before insertion into the flue adapter. Failure to do so could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Due to the extreme flammability of most glues, cements, solvents, and primers used to join plastic exhaust vent and intake pipes, explosive solvent vapors must be cleared from all vent piping before start-up. Avoid using excess cement or primer, as this may pool in the vent pipes. Vent assemblies should be allowed to cure for a period of at least 8 hours before powering a connected appliance. Failure to follow these instructions will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death. It is the installers’ responsibility to understand the hazards associated with explosive solvents and take the necessary precautions to avoid these risks.

The following materials are approved for use as vent pipe for this boiler. Failure to use approved materials could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

PART 5 – VENTING, COMBUSTION AIR AND CONDENSATE REMOVAL

A. GENERAL

Minimum distance

between exhaust vent and intake pipe on single direct vented appliance is 10” (0.255 m) center-to-center. Minimum distance between exhaust vents and intake pipes on multiple water heaters is 10” (0.255 m) center-to-center. L. When adjacent to a public walkway, locate exit terminal at least 7 feet above grade.

In addition:

 Total length of vent piping shall not exceed the limits specified in this manual.  The vent piping for this direct vented appliance is approved for zero clearance to combustible construction.  The flue products coming from the exhaust vent will create a large plume when the boiler is in operation. Avoid venting in

areas that will affect neighboring buildings or be considered objectionable.

 DO NOT locate exhaust vent or intake pipe in a parking area where machinery may damage the pipe.  DO NOT locate the exhaust vent or intake pipe terminals under a porch, balcony, or veranda.  Avoid terminating exhaust vents near shrubs, air conditioners, or other objects that will obstruct the exhaust stream.  DO NOT vent over a public walkway. Condensate could drip or freeze and create a nuisance or hazard.

NOTE: Due to potential moisture build-up, sidewall venting may not be the preferred venting option. Carefully consider venting installation and location to save time and cost.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

The building owner is responsible for keeping the exhaust and intake terminations free of snow, ice, or other potential blockages, as well as scheduling routine maintenance. Failure to keep the vent piping terminations clear and properly maintain the boiler could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

For each floor containing bedroom(s), a carbon monoxide detector and alarm shall be placed in the living area outside the bedrooms, as well as in the room that houses the boiler. Detectors and alarms shall comply with NFPA 720 (latest edition). Failure to comply with requirements for detectors and alarms could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

STANDARDS FOR INSTALLATION IN:

UNITED STATES

CANADA

PVC SCHEDULE 40 / 80

ANSI/ASTM D1785

ULC S636

It is very important that the condensate piping be no smaller than ¾”. You must use a tee at the condensate connection with a branch vertically up and open to the atmosphere, so as not to cause a vacuum that could obstruct the flow of condensate from the boiler. To prevent sagging and maintain pitch, condensate piping should be supported with pipe supports.

NOTE: SEE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MASSACHUSETTS IN THE BACK OF THIS MANUAL.

DETERMINE LOCATION OF CONDENSATE PIPING

This boiler is a high efficiency appliance, and therefore produces condensate: a by-product of the combustion process. A condensate collection system with an internal float switch monitors the condensate level to prevent it from backing up into the combustion system. There is a ¾” sweat connection provided to connect the outlet of the collection system to a drain or condensate pump (See Table 6 for approved condensate piping material).

Table 6 – Approved Plastic Condensate Piping Material

NOTE: Check with your local gas company to determine if combustion condensate disposal is permitted in your area. In the state of Massachusetts, condensate must be neutralized before entering a drain.

CONDENSATE NEUTRALIZATION

Condensate from the boiler is slightly acidic with a pH of 3.2 - 4.5. To avoid long term damage to the drainage system and to meet local code requirements, HTP recommends neutralizing the condensate with a Condensate Neutralizer Kit (Part # 7350P-611). The neutralizer kit connects to the drain system and contains marble chips that neutralize the pH level of the water vapor. The neutralizer kit should be checked annually and the marble chips replenished if necessary. When replacing the marble chips, take care to ensure chips are no smaller than ½” to avoid blockage in condensate piping (refer to Figure 12 for piping of the condensate neutralizer.)

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 30

Figure 12 – Condensate Piping NOTE: Blow water into the condensate collector to remove any foreign matter that may block the line.

NOTES:

1. Condensate line must be pitched at least 1/4" per foot to properly drain. If this cannot be done, or a very long length of condensate hose is used, you must increase the condensate line to a minimum of 1” ID and place a tee in the line after the condensate neutralizer to properly reduce vacuum lock in the drain line.

2. Plastic pipe should be the only material used for the condensate line. Steel, brass, copper, or other materials will be subject to corrosion or deterioration.

3. NEVER install condensate lines outside. It is very important that the condensate line is not exposed to freezing temperatures or any type of blockage. Damages due to frozen or blocked condensate lines ARE NOT covered by warranty.

4. Support of the condensate line may be necessary to avoid blockage of the condensate flow.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 31

When installing a condensate pump, select one approved for use with condensing boilers and furnaces. The pump should have an overflow switch to prevent property damage from condensate spillage.

The condensate line must remain unobstructed, allowing free flow of condensate. If condensate freezes in the line, or if line is obstructed in any other manner, condensate can exit from boiler tee, resulting in potential water damage to property.

F. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE SIZING

Table 7 – Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Sizing

1. The equivalent length of friction loss in elbows, tees, and other fittings are listed in Table 8.

Table 8 – Friction Loss in Equivalent Feet - *Friction loss for long radius elbow is 1’ less.

2. For example: If the exhaust vent has two short 90o elbows and 10 feet of PVC pipe we will calculate: Exhaust Vent Equivalent Length = (2x3) + 10 = 16 feet.

Further, if the intake pipe has two short 90o elbows, one 45o elbow, and 10 feet of PVC pipe, the following calculation applies: Intake Pipe Equivalent Length = (2x3) + 1 + 10 = 17 feet.

3. The exhaust vent and intake pipe are intended to penetrate the same wall or roof of the building.

4. The minimum total equivalent length is 16 feet.

G. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE INSTALLATION

1. Use only solid PVC or CPVC pipe, or a Polypropylene vent system, approved for use with Category IV boilers. FOAM CORE PIPING IS NOT APPROVED FOR EXHAUST APPLICATIONS. Foam core piping may be used on air inlet piping only.

2. Remove all burrs and debris from joints and fittings.

3. When using PVC or CPVC pipe, all joints must be properly cleaned, primed, and cemented. Use only cement and primer approved for use with the pipe material. Cement must conform to ASTM D2564 for PVC and ASTM F493 for CPVC pipe. NOTE: DO NOT CEMENT POLYPROPYLENE PIPE.

4. Ensure the vent is located where it will not be exposed to prevailing winds.

5. In all roof venting applications, exhaust discharge must point away from the pitch of the roof.

6. To prevent water leakage, install adequate roof flashing where the pipe enters the roof. LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 32

7. Do not locate vent over public walkways, driveways, or parking lots. Condensate could drip and freeze, resulting in a slip hazard or

damage to vehicles and machinery.

8. Due to potential moisture build-up, sidewall venting may not be the preferred venting option. To save time and cost, carefully

consider venting installation and location.

9. Horizontal lengths of exhaust vent must slope back towards the appliance not less than ¼" per foot to allow condensate to drain from

the vent pipe.

10. The exhaust vent must terminate where vapors cannot make accidental contact with people or pets, or damage shrubs or plants.

11. In vacant chimney applications, install and seal a rain cap over existing chimney openings.

12. All piping must be fully supported. Use pipe hangers at a minimum of 4 foot intervals to prevent sagging of the pipe where

condensate may form.

13. Do not use the appliance to support any piping.

14. Ensure the outdoor exhaust vent termination is screened to prevent blockage caused by debris or birds.

15. Ensure the outdoor intake pipe termination is screened to prevent blockage caused by debris or birds.

H. BOILER REMOVAL FROM A COMMON VENT SYSTEM

When removing an existing boiler, the following steps must be followed.

1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion or other

deficiencies that could cause an unsafe condition.

3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the common venting system and other spaces in the building.

Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close all fireplace dampers.

4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate

continuously.

5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle or

smoke from a cigarette.

6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to common venting system properly vents when tested as

outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.

7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms to the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1.

NOTE: For Canadian Installations, it is required that Non Metallic Vent Installations conform to ULC S636. Where plastic venting is not allowed, HTP recommends AL294C Stainless Steel Venting be used for Exhaust venting installations and “B” vent for intake air.

I. VENTING DRAWINGS

1. DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION OF EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE

When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air. NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 1.

Page 33

Take extra precaution to adequately support the weight of vent pipes terminating through the roof. Failure to properly support roof terminated vent piping could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death due to flue gas leakage.

All vent pipes must be glued, properly supported, and the exhaust must be pitched a minimum of ¼” per foot back to the boiler to allow drainage of condensate. Exhaust connection insertion depth should be a minimum of 2 ½” for 1000 models and 3” for 1700 models. When placing support brackets on vent piping, the first bracket must be within 1’ of the appliance and the balance at 4’ intervals on the vent pipe. Boiler venting must be readily accessible for visual inspection for the first three feet from the boiler.

2. ROOM AIR, INDOOR COMBUSTION, AND VENTILATION AIR

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

When using an indoor combustion air installation, the mechanical room MUST be provided with properly sized openings, and/or be of sufficient volume to assure adequate combustion air and proper ventilation for all gas fired appliances in the mechanical room to assure adequate combustion air and proper ventilation. The requirements shown here are for the boiler only. Additional gas fired appliances in the mechanical room will require an increase in the net free area and/or volume to supply adequate combustion air for all appliances. This must be done in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1.

This boiler can be vented using mechanical room air only for combustion. No combustion air openings are needed when the boiler is installed in a space with a volume NO LESS than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr of all installed gas fired appliances and the building MUST NOT BE of “Tight Construction”.

TIGHT CONSTRUCTION: A building with less than .4 ACH (air changes per hour).

For buildings of “Tight Construction”, provide air openings into the building from the

outside. Indoor and outdoor combustion air may be combined by applying a ratio of

available volume to required volume times the required outdoor air opening(s) size(s). This must be done in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1.

1. If air is taken directly from outside the building with no duct, provide two

permanent openings to the mechanical room each with a net free area of one square inch per 4000 BTU/hr input. See Figure 17.

2. If combustion and ventilation air is taken from the outdoors using a duct to

deliver the air to the mechanical room, each of the two openings should be sized based on a minimum free area of one square inch per 2000 BTU/hr input. See Figure 18.

3. If air is taken from another interior space combined with the mechanical room:

a. Two spaces on same story: Each of the two openings specified should have a net free area of one square inch for each 1000 BTU/hr input, but not less than 100 square inches. b. Two spaces on different stories: One or more openings should have a net free area of two square inches per 1000 BTU/hr.

See Figure 19 for reference.

4. If a single combustion air opening is provided to bring combustion air in directly

from the outdoors, the opening must be sized based on a minimum free area of

one square inch per 3000 BTU/hr. This opening must be located within 12” of the

top of the enclosure. See Figure 20.

Combustion air requirements are based on the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1, CGA Standard CAN/CSA B149.1 in Canada. Check all local code requirements for combustion air.

All dimensions based on net free area in square inches. Metal louvers or screens reduce the free area of a combustion air opening a minimum of approximately 25%. Check with louver manufacturers for exact net free area of louvers.

Where two openings are provided, one must be within 12” of the ceiling, and one

must be within 12”of the floor of the mechanical room. Each opening must have a net free area as specified in Table 9. Single openings shall commence within 12” of the ceiling. The minimum dimension of air openings should not be less than 3”.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 37

Under no circumstances should the mechanical room ever be under negative pressure. Particular care should be taken where exhaust fans, attic fans, clothes dryers, compressors, air handling units, etc., may take away air from the unit. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage or personal injury.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL PRECAUTIONS IN THIS SECTION COULD RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR DEATH!

It is very important that you are connected to the type of gas noted on

the rating plate. “LP” for liquefied petroleum, propane gas, or “NAT”

for natural or city gas. Prior to turning the gas on, all gas connections must be approved by the local gas supplier or utility, in addition to the governing authority.

A gas conversion kit comes with Mod Con 1000 boilers ONLY. Field conversions ARE NOT ALLOWED on the Mod Con 1700. A properly calibrated combustion analyzer must be used to verify proper combustion. Failure to follow all above information could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Figure 21 – Gas Connection Detail

Combustion air supply must be completely free of any flammable vapors that may ignite, or chemical fumes which may be corrosive to the boiler. See Table 1 for a list of combustion air contaminants. These chemicals, when burned, form acids which quickly attack the stainless steel heat exchanger, headers, flue connectors, and the vent system. The result is improper combustion and premature boiler failure. Such failure IS NOT covered under warranty.

EXHAUST FANS: Any fan or appliance which exhausts air from the mechanical room may deplete the combustion air supply and/or cause a downdraft in the venting system. Spillage of flue products from the venting system into an occupied living space can cause a very hazardous condition that must be corrected immediately.

Table 9 – Indoor Combustion Air Sizing

The above requirements are for the boiler only; additional gas fired appliances in the mechanical room will require an increase in the net free area and/or volume to supply adequate combustion air for all appliances. No combustion air openings are needed when the boiler is installed in a space with a volume NO LESS than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr of all installed gas fired appliances. Buildings MUST NOT be of *”Tight Construction”.

Outside air openings shall communicate with the outdoors.

Combined interior space must be 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr input. Buildings

MUST NOT be of *”Tight Construction”.

PART 6 – GAS PIPING

A. GAS CONNECTION

The gas supply shall have a maximum inlet pressure of less than 14" w.c. (3.5 kPa), and a minimum of 3.5" w.c. (.87 kPa). The entire piping system, gas meter and regulator must be sized properly to prevent pressure drop greater than 0.5" (.12 kPa) as stated in the National Fuel Gas Code. This information is listed on the rating label.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 38

Do not attempt to support the weight of gas piping with the boiler or its accessories. The gas valve and blower will not support the weight of the piping. Failure to follow this warning could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Failure to apply pipe sealing compound as detailed above could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

CSA / UL listed flexible gas connections can be used when installing the boiler. Flexible gas connections have different capacities and must be sized correctly for the connected boiler firing rates. Consult with the flex line supplier to assure the line size is adequate for the job. Follow local codes for proper installation and service requirements.

Never use an open flame (match or lighter) to check for gas leaks. Use a soapy solution to test connection. Failure to use a soapy solution test or check gas connection for leaks could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Use a two-wrench method when tightening gas piping near the boiler and its piping connection: One wrench to prevent the boiler gas line connection from turning; the second to tighten the adjacent piping. Failure to support the boiler gas piping connection could damage the boiler beyond repair. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty.

The gas connection on the boiler is 3” for the Mod Con 1000 and 4” for the Mod Con 1700. It is mandatory that this fitting is used for connection to a field fabricated drip leg as shown in the illustration above per the National Fuel Gas Code. You must ensure that the entire gas line to the connection at the boiler is no smaller than the unit supplied connection.

Once all inspections have been performed, the piping must be leak tested. If the leak test requirement is at a higher test pressure than the maximum inlet pressure, you must isolate the boiler from the gas line. To do this, shut the gas off using factory and field-installed gas cocks. Failure to do so may damage the gas valve. In the event the gas valve is exposed to a pressure greater than ½ PSI, 14" w.c. (3.5 kPa), the gas valve must be replaced. Never use an open flame (match, lighter, etc.) to check gas connections.

B. GAS PIPING

1. Run the gas supply line in accordance with all applicable codes.

2. Locate and install manual shutoff valves in accordance with state and local

requirements.

3. In Canada, the Manual Shutoff must be identified by the installing contractor.

4. It is important to support gas piping as the unit is not designed to structurally

support a large amount of weight.

5. Purge all gas lines thoroughly to avoid start up issues with air in the lines.

6. Sealing compound must be approved for gas connections. Care must be taken

when applying compound to prevent blockage or obstruction of gas flow which may affect the operation of the unit.

C. GAS TABLE

Refer to Table 10 to size the supply piping to minimize pressure drop between the meter or regulator and unit. Maximum capacity of pipe in cubic feet of gas per hour for gas pressures of .5 w.c. or less and a pressure drop of .3 inch w.c.

Table 10 – Gas Supply Piping Size Chart for Mod Con Boilers

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 39

Ensure the pressure tap screw is properly tightened to prevent gas leaks. Failure to do so could cause substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure gas valve outlet pressure. The gas valve is factory-set for the correct outlet pressure and requires no field adjustment. Attempts by the installer to adjust or measure the gas valve outlet pressure could result in damage to the valve and cause substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

D. CHECK INLET GAS PRESSURE

The gas valve is equipped with an inlet gas pressure tap that can be used to measure the gas pressure to the unit. To check gas pressure, perform the steps listed below:

1. IMPORTANT! Before you connect to the inlet pressure, shut off the gas and electrical power to unit.

2. Loosen the pressure tap with a small screwdriver. Refer to Figs. 20 and 21 for locations.

3. Each unit is equipped with a needle valve that will accept a 5/16 ID hose to connect to a digital manometer or liquid gauge to

measure incoming pressure from 0-35” w.c.

4. Turn on the gas and power up the unit.

5. Put the unit into manual service mode (details on service mode are in the back of this manual). In service mode, monitor pressure to

assure it does not drop below 1 inch from its idle reading. If gas pressure is out of range, or pressure drop is excessive, contact the gas utility, gas supplier, qualified installer, or service agency to determine the correct action needed to provide proper gas pressure to the unit. If gas pressure is within normal range, proceed to Step 6.

6. Exit Service mode, then turn power off and shut off the gas supply at the manual gas valve before disconnecting the hose from the

gas monitoring device. Tighten the screw on the pressure tap, turn gas on, and check for leaks with a soapy solution. If a leak is present, bubbles will appear on the pipe.

The gas piping must be sized for the proper flow and length of pipe to avoid pressure drop. The gas meter and regulator must be properly sized for the total gas load. If you experience a pressure drop greater than 1" w.c. (.87 kPa), the meter, regulator or gas line may be undersized or in need of service. You can attach a manometer to the incoming gas drip leg after removing the cap. The gas pressure must remain between 3.5" (.87 kPa) and 14" (3.5 kPa) during stand-by (static) mode and while in operating (dynamic) mode.

If an in-line regulator is used, it must be a minimum of 10 feet from the boiler. It is very important that the gas line is properly purged by the gas supplier or utility. Failure to properly purge the lines, or improper line sizing, will result in ignition failure.

This problem is especially noticeable in NEW LP installations and empty tank situations. This situation can also occur when a utility company shuts off service to an area to provide maintenance to their lines. This gas valve must not be replaced with a conventional gas valve under any circumstances.

Do not do a gas conversion on this boiler without an officially approved conversion kit and instructions supplied by HTP. Failure to use a conversion kit when converting the boiler to fire on Natural or LP gas will result in extremely dangerous burner operation, leading to fire, explosion, severe injury or death.

Strain on the gas valve and fittings may result in vibration, premature component failure and gas leakage, and result in fire, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Adjustments to the throttle screw or offset may only be made by a qualified gas technician using a calibrated combustion analyzer capable of measuring CO2 and CO. Failure to follow this instruction could result in fire, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD - Turn off electrical power supply at service entrance panel before making any electrical connections. Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury or death.

Wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1. If original wiring supplied with the boiler must be replaced, use only UL Listed TEW 105o C wire or equivalent. Boiler must be electrically grounded as required by National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – Latest Edition.

In order to ease future servicing and maintenance, it is advised to label all wires. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage or personal injury.

To avoid electrical shock, turn off all power to the appliance prior to opening an electrical box within the unit. Ensure the power remains off while any wiring connections are being made. Failure to follow these instructions could result in component or product failure, serious injury, or death. Such product failure IS NOT covered by warranty.

Figure 24

PART 7 – FIELD WIRING

A. INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH:

1. National Electrical Code and any other national, state, provincial or local codes or

regulations.

2. In Canada, CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, and any local codes.

B. FIELD WIRING

All connections made to the boiler in the field are done inside the electrical junction box located on the side of the unit. The electrical junction box is located on the left side of both boilers. Multiple knockout locations are available to route field wires into and out of the electrical junction box. Most of the electrical field connections are made to the bottom boiler. If it is required to connect to the top boiler, it will be clearly marked in this section.

The control system used in the Mod Con 1000 and 1700 series of boilers is capable of directly controlling 3 pumps as shipped. Each pump output can provide a maximum of 3 amps at 120 volts. This output is sufficient to operate the coil of a motor starter correctly sized for the pump or pumps used in the system design.

The electrical junction box has separate, clearly marked terminal strips for line voltage and low voltage wiring. Special jacks are provided for trouble-free cascade system wiring using standard CAT3 or CAT5 patch cables.

C. LINE VOLTAGE WIRING FOR STANDARD BOILER

1. Connect the incoming power wiring to the line voltage terminal strip in the electrical junction box at terminals LINE 120V, Neutral, and

Ground of the bottom boiler (shown in Figure 27).

2. A line voltage fused disconnect switch may be required to be externally mounted and connected according to local wiring codes.

3. Connect the central heating pump motor starter coil to the terminals marked BOILER HOT, BOILER NEUT, and BOILER GRD in the

bottom boiler.

4. If using DHW, connect the domestic hot water pump to the terminals marked DHW HOT, DHW NEUT, DHW GND on the bottom

boiler. The connections shown are suitable for a maximum continuous pump draw of 3 amps at 120 volts. If a pump requires more current or voltage than the 120 volts supplied, an external motor starter or contactor will be required.

D. ALARM CONNECTIONS (TOP BOILER CONNECTION)

The Mod Con control system includes a dry contact alarm output. This is an SPDT circuit, rated at 5 amps at 120 volts. This contact can be used to activate an alarm light or bell, or notify a building management system if the boiler goes into a lockout condition. The circuit between the ALARM COM and NC terminals is closed during normal operation and the circuit between ALARM COM and NO is open during normal operation. The example connections depicted in Figure 27 show two 120 volt lights connected to the alarm terminals. One light will be on when the boiler is in normal mode and the other light will turn on when the boiler is in lockout mode. NOTE: This alarm connection will activate when either boiler is in a LOCKOUT condition.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 43

Caution should be used to ensure neither of these terminals becomes connected to ground.

Failure to use the correct sensor may result in tank temperature being either above or below set point, and could result in decreased performance, substantial property damage, or heightened risk of injuries due to scalds.

E. LOW VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS

1. All low voltage cables should enter the electrical junction box through the provided knock out holes shown in Figure 24.

2. Connect all low voltage field devices in the low voltage terminal strip located in the electrical junction box (shown in Figure 27).

F. THERMOSTAT

1. Connect the room thermostat to the terminals marked THERMOSTAT in the electrical junction box (shown in Figure 27) of the

bottom boiler. Alternately, any dry contact closure across these terminals will cause the boiler system to run. Caution should be taken to ensure neither of the terminals becomes connected to ground.

2. Mount the thermostat on an inside wall as centrally as possible to the area being heated, but away from drafts or heat producing

devices such as television sets that could influence the ability of the thermostat to measure room temperature.

3. If the thermostat is equipped with an anticipator and it is connected directly to the Mod Con boiler, the anticipator should be set at .1

amps. If the thermostat is connected to other devices, the anticipator should be set to match the power requirements of the device it is connected to. See the instruction manual of the connected devices for further information.

G. OUTDOOR SENSOR

1. There is no connection required if an outdoor sensor is not used in this installation.

2. If using an outdoor sensor, connect wires for sensor to the terminals marked OUTDOOR SEN (shown in Figure 27) in the electrical

junction box of the bottom boiler. Caution should be used to ensure neither of these terminals becomes connected to ground.

3. Use a minimum 22 AWG wire for runs of 100 feet or less and minimum 18 AWG wire for runs of up to 150 feet.

4. Mount the outdoor sensor on an exterior surface of the building, preferably on the north side in an area that will not be affected by

direct sunlight and will be exposed to varying weather conditions.

H. INDIRECT SENSOR (TOP BOILER CONNECTION)

1. There is no connection required if an indirect water heater is not used in this installation.

2. The boiler will operate an indirect fired water heater with either a thermostat type aquastat installed in the indirect tank, or an HTP

7250P-325 tank sensor. When a tank sensor is used, the control will automatically detect its presence and a demand for heat from the indirect water heater will be generated when the tank temperature falls below the user selected set point by more than the user selected offset. The demand will continue until the sensor measures that the indirect water heater temperature is above the set point.

3. Connect the indirect tank sensor (7250P-325) to the terminals marked DHW SENSOR (shown in Figure 27) in the electrical junction

box of the top boiler.

NOTE: If sensor wires are located in an area with sources of potential electromagnetic interference (EMI), the sensor wires should be shielded, or the wires routed in a grounded metal conduit. If using shielded cable, the shielding should be connected to the common ground of the boiler.

I. OPTIONAL 0-10 VOLT BUILDING CONTROL SIGNAL

1. A signal from a building management system may be connected to the boiler to enable remote control. This signal should be a 0-10

volt positive going DC signal. When this input is enabled using the installer menu, a building control system can be used to control

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 44

either the set point temperature or the heat output of the boiler. The control interprets the 0-10 volt signal as follows: When the signal is greater than 1.5 volts, the boiler will ignite. As the signal continues to rise towards its maximum of 10 volts, the boiler will increase either in set point temperature or firing rate depending on the setting of parameter 17 in the installer menu. See Part 10 for details on the setting of parameters 16 and 17 for this option.

2. Connect a building management system or other auxiliary control signal to the terminals marked 0-10 VOLT + and 0-10 VOLT – in

the electrical junction box (shown in Figure 27) of the bottom boiler. Caution should be used to ensure that the 0-10 VOLT + connection does not become connected to ground.

J. OPTIONAL HIGH GAS PRESSURE SWITCH

1. If an optional high gas pressure switch is used, it should be installed on the outlet side of the gas valve of both boilers. This is

normally closed and will open if the pressure goes above 1.5” w.c. on the outlet side.

2. Locate the two pigtails hanging from the electrical box inside of the cabinet of the boiler with the installed switch. Remove and

discard the jumper plug from one of the unused pigtails.

3. Connect the high gas pressure switch to the pigtail that you removed the jumper plug from.

K. OPTIONAL LOW GAS PRESSURE SWITCH

1. If an optional low gas pressure switch is used, it should be installed on the inlet side of the gas valve of both boilers. This is normally

closed and will open if the pressure goes below 1” w.c. on the inlet side.

2. Locate the two pigtails hanging from the electrical box inside of the cabinet of the boiler with the installed switch. Remove and

discard the jumper plug from one of the unused pigtails.

3. Connect the low gas pressure switch to the pigtail that you removed the jumper plug from.

L. OPTIONAL FLOW SWITCH

NOTE: Follow the more detailed instructions included with the flow switch kit for proper installation steps. NOTE: The boiler will need 2 flow switches to ensure there is enough flow through each heat exchanger of the boiler assembly.

1. Attach the correct flow paddle to the flow switch.

2. Thread brass tee onto outlet nipple using pipe dope. Make certain the branch points up on horizontal runs.

3. Thread flow switch into tee using pipe dope. Make certain the FLOW arrow points in the correct direction.

4. Disconnect red wire on the low water cut off probe and connect it to the red wire from the wire harness (included in kit).

5. Feed green ground wire into boiler through the wire access.

6. From the front of the boiler, feed the ground wire up into the control box.

7. Once into the control box, attach the green ground to the ground bus connection.

8. Connect red wire from flow switch to boiler wire harness.

9. When installation is complete, power up the boiler and use the control to access installer parameter #20 and change the default

value to 2 (see Part 11 in this manual). When done, create a demand and observe boiler function to verify the installation is working properly.

NOTE: Installing the optional flow switch will disable the built-in low water cutoff. If a flow switch and a low water cutoff are necessary for the installation, purchase and install the optional UL353 LWCO (available from HTP, Part # 7350P-601). In this installation, it is recommended to install the flow switch kit first.

M. OPTIONAL UL353 LOW WATER CUT-OFF INTERFACE KIT

NOTE This boiler will require 2 interface kits to ensure both heat exchangers are full of water.

1. If an optional UL353 low water cut-off (LWCO) interface kit is used, the control box of the kit should be mounted to the left side of the

boiler cabinet near the low water cut-off probe, which is located on the outlet nipple of the boiler.

2. If the optional flow switch is present on the boiler, then the orange wire from the LWCO control box is left unconnected. If the optional

flow switch is not installed on or connected to the boiler, remove the wire connected to the low water cut-off probe on the boiler and connect it to the orange wire from the newly mounted LWCO control box.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 45

3. Connect the single red wire from the control box to the low water cut-off probe on the boiler.

4. Route the rest of the wires through the hole provided in the cabinet and down by the main electrical enclosure.

5. Locate the two pigtails hanging from the main electrical enclosure. Select the pigtail which has a white, red, and brown wire in it. If

the pigtail is connected to a gas pressure switch, skip to step 7. If this pigtail is not connected to a gas pressure switch, remove the jumper plug from the end of the pigtail and place the jumper plug into the mating connector coming from the LWCO control box.

6. Connect the pigtail to the remaining plug coming from the LWCO control box. Installation is complete.

7. If the pigtail located in step 5 is connected to a gas pressure switch, disconnect it from the gas pressure switch and connect the

pigtail to the mating connector coming from the LWCO control box. Connect the gas pressure switch to the remaining connector from the LWCO control box.

N. WIRING OF THE CASCADE SYSTEM COMMUNICATION BUS

A termination plug is included in the CAT 3 / CAT 5 Bus Connection Point, labeled J3 in Figure 27. DO NOT REMOVE THIS PLUG UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. Doing so will affect boiler operation and VOID WARRANTY.

1. A Cascade Bus Termination Plug has been installed on the customer connection board of this boiler. The purpose of this plug is to

stabilize communication between multiple boilers and reduce the effect of electrical “noise” on cascade bus communication. See Figures 26 and 27 for Cascade Bus Termination Plug installation detail. You will need to remove and discard this plug in order to connect the cable to the next boiler. DO NOT REMOVE the terminator unless you need to connect a cable to this port.

2. Use standard CAT3 or CAT5 computer network patch cables to connect the communication bus between each of the boilers. This

cable can be connected between any of the boilers in the system. The cable must be of the “straight through” design. For example, you could connect the top boiler to the next top boiler. These cables are readily available at any office supply, computer, electronic, department or discount home supply store in varying lengths. If you possess the skills you can also construct custom length cables.

3. It is recommended to use the shortest length cable that will reach between the boilers and create a neat installation. Do not run

unprotected cables across the floor where they may become wet or damaged. Avoid running communication cables parallel and close to or against high voltage (120 volt or greater) wiring. HTP recommends that the maximum length of communication bus cables not exceed 200 feet.

4. Route the communication cables through one of the knockouts in the cabinet.

5. Connect the boilers in a daisy chain configuration as shown below. It is best to wire the boilers using the shortest wire runs rather

than trying to wire them in the order that they are addressed. The communication bus jacks on the customer connection panel are interchangeable so you can use either one or both in any order to connect the cable.

If you have connected the boilers to each other properly, there will be no open communication connection ports.

Thoroughly clean and flush any system that has used glycol before installing the boiler. Provide the customer with a material safety data sheet (MSDS) on the fluid used.

Chemical imbalance of your water can cause severe damage to your boiler and associated equipment, and may also affect efficiency. You may have to have your water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether you need to install a water softener. It is important that the water chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central heating sides are checked before installing the boiler, as water quality will affect the reliability of the system. Outlined below are those water quality parameters which need to be met in order for the system to operate efficiently for many years. Failure of a heat exchanger due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH or other imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.

Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in the boiler system. Damage to elastomer seals and gaskets in the system could occur, resulting in substantial property damage.

PART 8 – START-UP PREPARATION

A. CHECK / CONTROL WATER CHEMISTRY

It is recommended that you test your water quality prior to installation. Listed below are some guidelines.

Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0

1. Maintain boiler water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Check with litmus paper or have it chemically analyzed by a water treatment

company.

2. If the pH differs from above, consult local water treatment company for treatment needed.

Hardness less than 7 grains

Consult local water treatment companies for unusually hard water areas (above 7 grains hardness).

Chlorine concentration less than 100 ppm

1. Do not connect the boiler to directly heat a swimming pool or spa water.

2. Do not fill boiler or operate with water containing chlorine in excess of 100 ppm.

Clean system to remove sediment

1. You must thoroughly flush the system (without the boiler connected) to remove sediment. The high-efficiency heat exchanger can be

damaged by buildup or corrosion due to sediment build up.

2. For zoned systems, flush each zone valve separately through a purge valve. (If purge valves and isolation valves are not already

installed, install them to properly clean the system.)

3. Flush system until water runs clean and you are sure piping is free of sediment.

Test/replace freeze protection fluid

1. For systems using freeze protection fluids, follow fluid manufacturer’s instructions to verify inhibitor level and that other fluid

characteristics are satisfactory.

2. Freeze protection fluid must be replaced periodically due to degradation of inhibitors over time. Follow all fluid manufacturer’s

instructions.

Hardness: 7 grains Chloride levels: 100 ppm pH levels: 6-8 TDS: 2000 ppm Sodium: 20 mGL

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 50

NEVER use automotive or standard glycol antifreeze, or ethylene glycol made for hydronic systems. Use only freeze-protection fluids certified by fluid manufacturer as suitable for use with stainless steel boilers, verified in fluid manufacturer’s literature. Thoroughly clean and flush any system that has used glycol before installing the new boiler. Provide boiler owner with a material safety data sheet (MSDS) on the fluid used.

Ensure the boiler is full of water before firing the burner. Failure to do so will damage the boiler. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty, and could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Eliminate all system leaks. Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life. Minerals can build up in the heat exchanger, reducing heat transfer, overheating heat exchanger, and causing heat exchanger failure. Such failure IS NOT covered by warranty.

It is important to purge the system of air to avoid damage to the boiler.

IMPORTANT! While commissioning the system, the air vent on top of the boiler must remain fully open to allow the boiler to properly fill. Failure to keep the air vent open could lead to improper boiler and system operation.

B. FREEZE PROTECTION (WHEN USED)

1. Determine freeze protection fluid quantity using total system water content following fluid manufacturer’s instructions. Remember to

include expansion tank water content.

2. Local codes may require back flow preventer or actual disconnect from the city water supply.

3. When using freeze protection fluid with automatic fill, install a water meter to monitor water makeup. Freeze protection fluid may leak

before the water begins to leak, causing concentration to drop, reducing the freeze protection level.

C. FILL AND TEST WATER SYSTEM

1. Fill system only after ensuring the water meets the requirements of this manual.

2. Close manual and automatic air vents and boiler drain valve.

3. Fill to correct system pressure. Correct pressure will vary with each application.

a. Typical cold water fill pressure for a residential system is 12 PSI.

b. Pressure will rise when boiler is turned on and system water temperature increases. Operating pressure must never exceed 160psig.

4. At initial fill and during boiler startup and testing, check system thoroughly for any leaks. Repair all leaks before proceeding.

5. The system may have residual substances that could affect water chemistry. After the system has been filled and leak tested, verify

that water pH and chlorine concentrations are acceptable by sample testing.

D. PURGE AIR FROM WATER SYSTEM

To purge air from the system:

a. Connect a hose to the purge valve and route hose to an area where water can drain and be seen. b. Close the boiler or system isolation valve between the purge valve and fill connection to the system. c. Close zone isolation valves. d. Open quick-fill valve on cold water make-up line. e. Open purge valve. f. Open the isolation valves one zone at a time. Allow water to run through the zone, pushing out the air. Run water until no noticeable air flow is present. Close the zone isolation valves and proceed with the next zone. Follow this procedure until all zones are purged. g. Close the quick-fill water valve and purge valve and remove the hose. Open all isolation valves. Watch the system pressure rise to correct cold-fill pressure. It is recommended that you put the pumps into manual operation to assist in purging the circuits.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 51

Before starting the boiler, and during initial operation, smell near the floor and around the boiler for gas odorant or any unusual odor. Remove boiler front door and smell interior of boiler enclosure. Do not proceed with startup if there is any indication of a gas leak. Repair any leaks at once.

PROPANE BOILERS ONLY – Propane suppliers mix an odorant with the propane to make its presence detectable. In some instances, the odorant can fade, and the gas may no longer have an odor. Before startup (and periodically thereafter), have the propane supplier verify the correct odorant level in the gas.

h. Disconnect the wires that are connected to the THERMOSTAT terminals of the customer connection board. Apply power to the boiler. The display will show the temperature of the water in the boiler. Press the ▼ and ENTER keys simultaneously and hold for 1 second. The display will read:

The central heating pump will come on. If you then press the ▲ key, the central heating pump will shut off. The display will read:

The DHW pump will come on. If the boiler is set up as the cascade master and you press the ▲ key again, the DHW pump will shut off. The display will read:

The system pump will come on. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to toggle between running each pump in the system as required to help bleed out all entrapped air. Some good indicators that air is removed include the absence of gurgling noises in the pipes and pump operation becoming very quiet. Pressing ▲ and ▼ together at any time will return the boiler to normal operation. i. After the system has operated for some time, eliminate any residual air by using the manual air vents located throughout the system. j. If purge valves are not installed in the system, open manual air vents in the system one at a time, beginning with the lowest floor. Close vent when water squirts out. Repeat with remaining vents. k. Refill to correct pressure. k. Refill to correct pressure.

E. CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

F. CHECK THERMOSTAT CIRCUIT(S)

1. Disconnect the two external wires connected to the boiler thermostat terminals (low voltage terminal strip).

2. Connect a voltmeter across these two incoming wires with power applied to the thermostat circuits. Close each thermostat, zone

valve, and relay in the external circuit one at a time and check the voltmeter reading across the incoming wires.

3. There should NEVER be a voltage reading.

4. If a voltage reading does occur under any condition, check and correct the external wiring. (This is a common problem when using 3-

wire zone valves).

5. Once the external thermostat circuit wiring is checked and corrected if necessary, reconnect the external thermostat circuit wires to

boiler low voltage terminal strip. Allow the boiler to cycle.

G. CONDENSATE REMOVAL

1. The boiler is a high efficiency condensing boiler. Therefore, the unit has a condensate drain. Condensate fluid is nothing more than

water vapor, derived from combustion products, similar to that produced by an automobile when it is initially started. Condensation is slightly acidic (typically with a pH of 3 to 5) and must be piped with the correct materials. Never pipe the condensate

using steel, copper, brass or other materials that will be subject to corrosion. Plastic PVC or CPVC pipe are the only approved materials.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 52

A condensate neutralizer, if required by local authorities, can be made up of lime crystals, marble or phosphate chips that will neutralize the condensate. This may be done by the installer or you may purchase a condensate neutralizer from HTP (7350-025).

2. The boiler is equipped with a ¾ FPT connection that must be piped to a local drain. It is very important that the condensate line is

sloped downward away from the boiler to a suitable inside drain. If the condensate outlet on the boiler is lower than the drain, you must use a condensate removal pump, available from HTP (554200). This pump is equipped with two leads that can be connected to an alarm or another type of warning device to alert the user of a condensate overflow, which, if not corrected, could cause property damage.

3. If a long horizontal run is used, it may be necessary to create a vent in the horizontal run to prevent a vacuum lock in the condensate

line.

4. Do not expose the condensate to freezing temperatures.

5. It is very important you support the condensation line to assure proper drainage.

H. FINAL CHECKS BEFORE STARTING BOILER

1. Read Startup Procedures within this manual for proper steps to start boiler. (See Startup Report to record steps for future reference.)

2. Verify the boiler and system are full of water and all system components are correctly set for operation.

3. Fill condensate trap with water.

4. Verify electrical connections are correct and securely attached.

5. Inspect exhaust vent and intake piping for signs of deterioration from corrosion, physical damage or sagging. Verify exhaust vent and

intake piping are intact and correctly installed per Venting Section and local code.

6. Ensure both boiler power switches are activated before running the boiler.

I. CASCADE SYSTEM – MOD CON 1000 AND 1700 MODELS

This double-stacked boiler is shipped factory preset to operate as a common vented cascaded unit. If the double stack is meant to be used as a common vented cascaded unit and additional boilers are not to be added to the cascaded system, skip this section.

Programming the Master Boiler:

a. Pick one of the bottom boilers to be the Master Boiler. b. Make sure there is no demand for heat being supplied to the boiler. c. Apply power to the boiler selected in step a. d. Enter the system setting program navigation following instructions in Part 9 of this manual. e. Verify that Cascade Address Function 15 is set to 0. This verifies that the boiler is the master boiler. NOTE: The Master Boiler MUST be addressed as 0. This establishes the unit as the master in a cascaded system. f. Set Function 23 to the total number of boilers in the system (4 BOILERS for a four boiler system, 6 BOILER for a six boiler system, etc.). g. Exit the Installer Menu.

Additional Connected Mod Con 1000 and 1700 Follower Boilers:

READ THE NOTES BELOW BEFORE PROGRAMMING FOLLOWER BOILERS

 If one of the follower boilers has an indirect fired water heater connected directly to it, the address of this boiler must be 2 or

greater.

 It is recommended but not necessary to address boilers in the order that they are wired.  No two boilers can have the same address.  Maximum amount of boilers in a cascaded system is eight (8), and equal to four (4) double-stacked units.

a. Make sure there is no demand for heat being supplied to the master boiler. b. Apply power to the follower boiler you are working on. c. Enter system settings following instructions in Part 9 of this manual. d. Set Cascade Address Parameter 15 to 1 for the first follower, 2 for the second follower, etc. depending on which boiler you are programming based on the above notes. This establishes the boiler as a follower in a cascaded system and enables data to be transferred as needed for the system to function at full capability. NOTE: DO NOT select number 8. NOTE: The top boiler in a MOD CON 1000 or 1700 assembly is factory preset to 1. e. Ensure Cascade Mode Function 23 is set to COMMON FLUE on all boilers EXCEPT the one configured as the Master Boiler. This is the factory default in the top boiler in a MOD CON 1000 or 1700 assembly. f. Exit the Installer Menu.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING

1. This boiler does not have pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.

2. BEFORE OPERATING: smell all around the boiler area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

 Do not try to light any boiler.  Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.  Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas suppliers' instructions.  If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.  Turn off gas shutoff valve (located outside of the boiler) so that the handle is crosswise to the gas pipe. If the handle will not

turn by hand, don't try to force or repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

4. Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been damaged.

5. The boiler shall be installed so the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap, control replacement, etc.)

Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

If you discover any evidence of a gas leak, shut down the boiler at once. Find the leak source with a bubble test and repair immediately. Do not start the boiler again until the leak is repaired. Failure to comply could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Table 21 – Combustion Settings on All Models

Table 22

PART 11 – SHUTDOWN

A. SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

If the burner is not operating, disconnect the electrical supply. If the burner is operating, lower the set point value to 70oF and wait for the burner to shut off. Continue to wait for the combustion

blower to stop, so all latent combustion gases are purged from the system. This should take a maximum of 40 to 90 seconds.

B. VACATION PROCEDURE

If there is danger of freezing, change the set point to 70oF. DO NOT turn off electrical power. If there is no danger of freezing, follow “Shutdown Procedure”.

C. FAILURE TO OPERATE

Should the burner fail to light, the control will perform two more ignition trials prior to entering a lockout state. Note that each subsequent ignition trial will not occur immediately. After a failed ignition trial, the blower must run for approximately 10 seconds to purge the system. Therefore, a time period of approximately 40 to 90 seconds will expire between each ignition trial.

If the burner lights during any one of these three ignition trails, normal operation will resume. If the burner lights, but goes off in about 4 seconds, check the polarity of the wiring. See electrical connection section.

If the burner does not light after the third ignition trial, the control will enter a lockout state. This lockout state indicates that a problem exists with the boiler, the controls, or the gas supply. Under such circumstances, a qualified service technician should be contacted immediately to properly service the boiler and correct the problem. If a technician is not available, depressing and holding the RESET button for more than 1 second will remove the lockout state so additional trials for ignition can be performed. The unit will try to re-light once every 6 minutes.

PART 12 – TROUBLESHOOTING

A. BOILER ERROR CODE

If any of the sensors detect an abnormal condition, or an internal component fails during the operation of the boiler, the display may show an error message and error code. This message and code may be the result of a temporary condition, in which case the display will revert to its normal readout when the condition is corrected, or it may be a condition that the controller has evaluated as not safe to restart the boiler. In this case, the boiler control will be locked out, the red FAULT light will be lit, and the message “LOCKOUT” will be displayed on the readout on the lower line.

The Boiler will not start until a qualified technician has repaired the boiler and pressed the RESET button for more than 1 second. If there is an error message displayed on the readout, and the message “LOCKOUT” is not displayed and the FAULT light is not lit, then the message is the result of a temporary condition and will disappear when the problem corrects itself.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you see error messages on your display readout, call a technician immediately, since the message may indicate a more serious problem will occur soon.

B. BOILER ERROR

When an error condition occurs, the controller will display a description and code on the display readout. These error messages and their recommended corrective actions are described in Section D.

LP- 428 REV. 9.2.14

Page 62

When servicing or replacing any components of this boiler, be certain that:

 The gas is off.  All electrical power is disconnected.

When servicing or replacing components that are in direct contact with boiler water, be certain that:

 There is no pressure in the boiler. (Pull the release on the relief valve. Do not depend on the pressure gauge reading.  The boiler water is not hot.  The electrical power is disconnected.

DO NOT USE THIS BOILER IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call a qualified service technician. The boiler MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged. Attempting to operate a boiler that has been submerged could create numerous harmful conditions, such as a potential gas leakage causing a fire and/or explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful particulates into the air. Operating a previously submerged boiler could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

NOTE: Boiler damage due to flood or submersion is considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.

Observe the position of each wire and label before removing. Wiring errors may cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

If overheating occurs, or the gas supply fails to shut off, do not turn off electrical power to the circulating pump. This may aggravate the problem and increase the likelihood of boiler damage. Instead, shut off the gas supply to the boiler at the gas service valve.

SCREEN

DESCRIPTION

POSSIBLE REMEDY

Fault Code EO3 System Sensor Failure

SYS SUPPLY SENSOR PUMP OFF E03

This screen shows that there is a problem with the system sensor circuit. The circuit could be open or shorted. Possible reasons for this error are: There is no system sensor connected to the Master Boiler. The system sensor is faulty. There is a short circuit in the system sensor wiring; possibly from a staple placed through the wire, or damage to the wire causing both conductors to touch. The system sensor wiring is open due to defect or damage.

Disconnect the system sensor from the wiring and measure the resistance of it. Compare the measured resistance to the table in this manual to see if it corresponds to the temperature of the sensor. If the resistance does not agree with the sensor, replace the sensor. If the sensor is OK, disconnect the sensor wiring from both the boiler and the sensor and check continuity using an ohmmeter. Repair or replace as necessary. If this error is present, all boilers in the cascaded group will run and ignite simultaneously when there is a heat demand. Each boiler will modulate to maintain set point temperature on its own supply sensor. This code will reset automatically when repair is complete. This code will not display if system setting function ERROR SYSTEM SENS is set to OFF.

C. BOILER FAULT

1. When a fault condition occurs, the controller will illuminate the red “FAULT” indication light and display a fault message in the screen.

The alarm output will also activate. Most fault conditions cause the CH pump to run in an attempt to cool the boiler.

2. Note the fault message displayed and refer to Part D in this section for an explanation of the message along with several suggestions

for corrective actions.

3. Press the reset key to clear the fault and resume operation. Be sure to observe the operation of the boiler for a period of time to

assure correct operation and no reoccurrence of fault message.

NOTE: If system return temperatures are maintained below the dew point, condensation will form on the inside of the boiler cabinet and cause some internal sheet metal components to rust.

Fault Code TT Temperature Blocking TT Demand

TEMPER BLOCKING PUMP ON TT

This screen indicates a temporary hold on the burner. There is a demand on the boiler, the pump is powered on, but the temperature of the water at the supply sensor is too high for the boiler to ignite. This occurs because the water temperature measured by the supply sensor is higher than the boiler temperature – ignition diff setting. This error will clear itself when the water temperature measured by the supply sensor is less than the boiler temperature – ignition diff setting.

Fault Code DHW Temperature Blocking DHW Demand

TEMPER BLOCKING PUMP ON DHW

This display indicates a temporary hold on the burner. There is a demand on the boiler from the DHW circuit for heat, the pump is powered on, but the boiler supply sensor indicates that the water temperature is too high to ignite. This is a temporary hold on the burner only and all other functions will remain functioning properly. This error will clear itself when either the boiler supply temperature drops below the BOILER SUPPLY minus boiler supply differential (5oF) or DHW SETPOINT is satisfied and no longer calls for heat.

Fault Code LEO

LOW WATER LEVEL PUMP OFF LEO

Water level in the boiler is low.

1. Check boiler feed water system to be sure it is supplying makeup water to the boiler system.

2. Be sure all air is bled from the system.

3. Check for leaks in the boiler and system piping and repair as necessary.

4. Inspect low level switch and wiring for damage and repair as necessary.

Fault Code F01

FLUE TEMP/WAT LV F01 PUMP ON

This code indicates that one of the safety interlock switches present in the unit has tripped. There are several interlock switches that could possibly trip and cause this error. The following four switches are installed in each boiler of the MODCON 1000 or MODCON 1700 unit and are standard equipment in all boilers.

1. Flue ECO – Trips if the flue temperature is excessive. This switch has to be manually reset.

2. Boiler module thermal fuse – Trips if there is excessive heat on the rear of the heat exchanger.

3. Boiler module front temperature limit switch - Trips if there is excessive heat on the front of the heat exchanger.

4. Blocked vent pressure switch (BVPS) – This switch trips if there is excessive pressure in the flue and automatically resets.

The following switches are optional equipment that may be installed on MODCON 1000 and MODCON 1700 units. These devices have indicator lights on them showing of they are tripped.

1. High gas pressure switch – This switch trips if there is excessive gas pressure on the outlet side of the gas valve and must be manually reset.

2. Low gas pressure switch – This switch trips if there is low gas pressure on the inlet side of the gas valve and must be manually reset.

3. UL 353 Low Water Cutoff – This device trips if the water level in the boiler is low and must be manually reset.

1. Check to see if the boiler with the F01 code displayed has any of the optional switches installed.

2. If so, check to see if the indicator light on any of the devices is showing that they are tripped.

3. If an indicator light is illuminated, investigate the source of the error for that particular switch.

4. If there are no optional switches or none of the indicator lights is illuminated on the optional switches then use an ohmmeter to test each of the standard switches one at a time. Turn the power off to the boiler and disconnect the switch to be tested from the boiler to determine which one has tripped. When you find the tripped switch investigate the cause of the fault based on the purpose of the switch. NOTE: The common reasons for the temperature switches to trip are a) low water flow through the boiler, or b) poor heat transfer from the water to the load.

5. If no switches are tripped, push RESET on the boiler. If the boiler tries to ignite or ignites and only runs for a short time and the F01 code returns, investigate the flue for blockage.
