Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as well as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations and ordinances when installing this appliance and related components near high heat sources.
UNCRATING THE APPLIANCE - Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be led immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.
A. Improper Combustion
Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilating air. Adequate air is necessary for safe operation. Failure to keep the exhaust vent and combustion air intake clear of ice, snow, or other debris could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
B. Gas
Should overheating or gas supply fail to shut o, turn o the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
C. When Servicing the Appliance
Be sure to disconnect electrical power before performing service. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock, property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing maintenance.
NOTE: When inquiring about service or troubleshooting, reference the model and serial numbers from the appliance rating label.
To avoid severe burns, allow appliance and associated equipment to cool before servicing.
D. Appliance System
Thoroughly ush the system (without the appliance connected) to remove sediment. The appliance can be damaged by build­up or corrosion due to sediment. HTP recommends a suction strainer in all systems.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in a water heating system. Gaskets and seals in the system may be damaged. This can result in substantial property damage.
Do not use “homemade cures” or “patent medicines”. Damage to the appliance, substantial property damage, and/or serious personal injury may result.
Continual fresh make-up water will reduce appliance life. Mineral build-up in the heat exchanger reduces heat transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat exchanger, and causes failure. Addition

of oxygen from make-up water can cause internal corrosion of system components. Leaks in the appliance or piping must be repaired at once.
E. Freeze Protection and Winterizing
NOTE: Consider piping and installation when determining appliance location.
Failure of the appliance due to freeze related damage IS NOT covered by product warranty.
NEVER use any toxic chemical, including automotive, standard glycol antifreeze, or ethylene glycol made for hydronic (non­potable) systems. These chemicals can attack gaskets and seals in water systems, are poisonous if consumed, and can cause
personal injury or death. To winterize the appliance, drain the entire system. Pump two gallons of non-toxic, NSF food grade, FDA rated GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) propylene glycol into the tank. Consult the glycol manufacturer for specic instructions on concentration percentage as well as freeze and burst protection methods. Check the concentration to assure protection is adequate to protect the bottom of the appliance from freezing. NOTE: Damages resulting from incorrect installation or from use of products not approved by HTP, Inc. ARE NOT covered by warranty.
F. Water Temperature Adjustment
If an indirect water heater is going to have a set temperature above 120oF, you must use an ASSE 1017 rated mixing valve to avoid severe burns or death from scalding temperatures.
Households with small children, disabled, or elderly persons
may require a 120oF or lower temperature setting to prevent
severe personal injury or death due to scalding.
Approximate Time / Temperature Relationships in Scalds
120oF More than 5 minutes
125oF 1 1/2 to 2 minutes
130oF About 30 seconds
135oF About 10 seconds
140oF Less than 5 seconds
145oF Less than 3 seconds
150oF About 1 1/2 seconds
155oF About 1 second
Table 1 - Approximate Time / Temperature Relationships in Scalds
G. High Elevation Installations
Natural gas at high elevation might contain less heating value
than typical 1,000 BTU/cu ft and therefore can cause improper
air / gas mix leading to improper combustion. For natural gas
installations above 3,000 ft, call your gas provider to determine
the heating value of the supplied natural gas.

Pressure and Temperature Gauge
Outdoor Sensor (Part # 7250P-319)
B. How the Appliance Operates
Condensing Technology maximizes eciency by measuring the needs of your heating system through the use of sensors and a control unit. The appliance uses data gathered by these sensors to intelligently deliver highly ecient hydronic heating.
Heat Exchanger
Exhaust gas ows through the primary section of the highly ecient combustion heat exchanger into the secondary heat exchanger section, where the coldest water on the bottom of the tank extracts the last residual amount of heat energy from the gas.
Modulating Combustion System
The combustion system modulates the output of the burner during operation to match system demand and achieve the control set point while in operation. The set point can change by internal or external signals to enhance the overall performance of the system.
Gas Valve
The gas valve senses suction from the blower, allowing gas to ow only if combustion air is owing.
Swirl Plate System
The swirl plate on the gas valve controls air and gas ow into the burner, assuring better mixing for improved combustion.
Combination Top High Temperature Sensor
The control module adjusts appliance ring rate based on the supply temperature monitored by this sensor.
Bottom Water Temperature Sensor
The control module reduces or increases appliance input according to the return water temperature measured by this sensor.
Temperature and Pressure Gauge
Allows the user to monitor system temperature and pressure.
Control
The integrated control system monitors return and supply water temperature and regulates the unit’s BTU output by controlling fan speed, delivering only the amount of heated energy required.
Burner
The metal ber and high grade stainless steel burner uses pre­mixed air and gas to provide a wide range of ring rates.
Electrical Field Connections with Terminal Strips
The cabinet allows easy access to the clearly marked line voltage and low voltage terminal strips to facilitate wiring to the appliance.
Condensate Drain Connection
This is a condensing high eciency appliance with a
LP-325 Rev. 4.4.17

condensate removal system. Condensate is nothing more than water vapor derived from combustion products, similar to that of an automobile when it is initially started. It is very important that the condensate line slopes away from the appliance and down to a suitable inside drain. If the appliance condensate outlet is lower than the drain, use a condensate removal pump (Part # 554200, available from HTP). In addition, local authorities may require a condensate neutralizer to neutralize the condensate. Condensate neutralizers are made up of lime crystals, marble, or phosphate chips. Neutralizers can be installed in the eld by the installer and purchased from HTP (7450P-212). It is also very important not to expose the condensate line to freezing temperatures or any type of blockage. Plastic tubing must be the only material used for the condensate line. Steel, brass, copper, or other materials will be subject to corrosion or deterioration. A second vent may be necessary to prevent condensate line vacuum lock on a long horizontal run. Also, an increase in pipe size may be necessary to allow condensate to drain properly. Support of the condensate line may be necessary to avoid blockage of the condensate ow.
Spark Ignition
The burner ame ignites by applying high voltage to the system spark electrode. This causes a spark from electrode to ground.
Outdoor Sensor
When equipped, the outdoor sensor monitors outdoor temperature and adjusts the set point to provide greater eciency.
(Optional) Indirect Tank Sensor – Indirect Priority
To control the temperature of low temperature heating circuits when using an indirect red water appliance, a thermostatic mixing valve is required. Failure to install a thermostatic mixing valve could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death. The indirect sensor allows the installer to operate the appliance to satisfy two temperatures: one for central heating and the other for a domestic hot water heater. This allows the user to increase water temperature supplied to the appliance to recover faster by prioritizing ow at a higher rate than may be needed for central heating. NOTE: This application requires two separate circulators.

Incorrectly sized expansion tank
6. Clean and ush system when reinstalling a appliance.
NOTE: When installing in a zero clearance location, it may not be possible to read or view some product labeling. It is recommended to make note of the appliance model and serial number.
B. Leveling
In order for the condensate to properly ow out of the collection system, the area where you locate the appliance must be level. Location must also fully support the weight of the lled appliance.
C. Clearances for Service Access
Failure to keep the appliance area clear and free of combustible materials, liquids, and vapors can result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
The service life of the appliance’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as the casing, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heat exchanger, are directly inuenced 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 appliance components. In these environments, appliances must not be installed using direct vent systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such appliances must be installed using room air for combustion. Indoor air will have a much lower relative humidity, and hence potential corrosion will be minimized.
Failure of the appliance or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.
High heat sources (generating heat 100oF / 37oC or greater, such as boiler ue pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage plastic components of the appliance as well as plastic vent pipe materials. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is recommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high heat sources. Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as well as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations, and ordinances when installing this appliance and related components near high heat sources. Locate the appliance where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage to surrounding areas or lower oors of the building. The appliance should be located near a oor drain or installed in a drain pan. Leakage damages ARE NOT covered by warranty.
4. Gas control system components must be protected from dripping water during operation and service.
5. If the appliance is to replace an existing appliance, check for and correct any existing system problems, such as:
System leaks
Location that could cause the system and appliance to
All appliances eventually leak. It is recommended to install a catch pan beneath the appliance. This catch pan should be sized with a maximum depth of 2”, and a minimum diameter 2” greater than the diameter of the appliance. The catch pan should empty into an open drain line. This drain line should be 3/4” ID minimum, piped to an open drain. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage. Such damages ARE NOT covered by product warranty.
The space must be provided with combustion / ventilation air openings correctly sized for all other appliances located in the same space as the appliance. The appliance cover must be securely fastened to prevent the appliance from drawing air from the appliance room. This is particularly important if the appliance 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.

Failure to properly take factors such as venting, piping, condensate removal, and wiring into account before installation could result in wasted time, money, and possible property damage and personal injury.
Precautions
If the appliance is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1:
Install the appliance burner and ignition devices a minimum of 18” above the oor of the garage. This will ensure the burner and ignition devices are well o the oor.
When raising the appliance ensure the entire bottom and fully lled weight of the appliance are fully supported.
Locate or protect the appliance so it cannot be damaged by a moving vehicle.
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. 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 rst 3’ from the appliance. Failure to properly support vents could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death. The exhaust discharged by this appliance may be very hot. Avoid touching or other direct contact with the exhaust gases of the vent termination assembly. Doing so could result in severe personal injury or death.
1. Direct Vent of Exhaust and Intake
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn from the outdoors directly into the appliance intake and exhaust must terminate outdoors. 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. Dierent 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, this manual. When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air. To
prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
2. Power Venting, Indoor Combustion Air in Conned or Unconned Space
This appliance requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe operation and must be installed in a mechanical room where
LP-325 Rev. 4.4.17

there is adequate combustion and ventilating air. NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
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 sucient 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 2) 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. Unconned space is space with volume greater than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr (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. See Venting Section for details. Conned space is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr (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 conned 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 oor. 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 conned 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.
When drawing combustion air from the outside into the mechanical room, care must be taken to provide adequate freeze protection.
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh combustion air can cause poisonous ue gases to enter the living space, resulting in severe personal injury or death. To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
F. Carbon Monoxide Detectors
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and As Required by State and Local Codes:
Installation of Carbon Monoxide Detectors: At the time of installation or replacement of the vented gas fueled appliance, the installing plumber or gas tter shall observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up is installed on the oor level where the gas appliance is installed, unless the appliance is located in a detached, uninhabitable structure separate from the dwelling, building, or structure used in whole or in part for residential purposes. In addition, the installing plumber or gas tter shall observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up is installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building, or structure served by the vented gas appliance. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to secure the service of qualied licensed professionals for the installation of hard wired carbon monoxide detectors.

H. Removing an Appliance from a Common Vent System
Do not install the appliance into a common vent with any other appliance. This will cause ue gas spillage or appliance malfunction, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Failure to follow all instructions can result in ue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.
When removing an existing appliance, follow the steps below.
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 deciencies that could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows, and doors between the space in which the appliance remains connected to 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 replace 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 ame of a match or candle or smoke from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, replace dampers, and any other gas burning appliances to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected to conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the system should approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G of ANSI Z223.1.

Figure 2 - CO Warning Label
I. Water Chemistry Requirements
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may aect eciency and cause severe damage to the appliance and associated equipment. Water quality must be professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to treat the water. Various solutions are available to adjust water quality. Adverse water quality will aect the reliability of the system. In addition, operating temperatures above 135oF will accelerate the build­up of lime scale and possibly shorten appliance service life. Failure of an appliance due to lime scale build-up, low pH, or
other chemical imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty. The water must be potable, free of corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, and other contaminates. It is up to the installer to ensure the water does not contain corrosive chemicals or elements that can damage the heat exchanger. Potable water is dened as drinkable water supplied from utility or well water in compliance with EPA secondary maximum contaminant levels (40 CFR Part
143.3). If the water contains contaminants higher than outlined by the EPA, water treatment is recommended and additional, more frequent maintenance may be required.
If you suspect that your water is contaminated in any way, discontinue use of the appliance and contact an authorized technician or licensed professional.
• Water pH between 6.5 and 8.5
pH levels below 6.5 can cause an increase in the rate of corrosion. pH of 8.5 or higher can potentially cause lime scale build-up
Maintain water pH between 6.5 and 8.5. Check with litmus paper or have it chemically analyzed by a local water treatment company.
If the pH is not between 6.5 and 8.5, consult a local water treatment company for solutions.
• Hardness less than 7 grains (120 mg/L) (Water temperatures of 140oF and greater)
Hardness levels above the required amounts can lead
LP-325 Rev. 4.4.17
Page 12
12
Front View
Top View
Side View
to lime scale build-up throughout the system. Water below 5 grains/gallon (85 mg/L) may be over softened.
Consult local water treatment companies for unusually hard water areas (above the required amounts) or for other treatment solutions if water is being over softened (below 5 grains/gallon [85 mg/L]).
• Chloride concentration less than 100 ppm (mg/L)
Do not ll appliance or operate with water containing chlorides in excess of 100 ppm (mg/L).
Using chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable as levels are typically less than 5 ppm (mg/L).
Do not connect the appliance to directly heat swimming pool or spa water.
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) less than 500 ppm (mg/L)
Total dissolved solids are minerals, salts, metals, and
charged particles that are dissolved in water.
The greater the amounts of TDS present, the higher
the corrosion potential due to increased conductivity in the water.
If using softened water to ll the appliance, it is
still possible to have high TDS. This water can be corrosive. Consult local water treatment companies for other treatment solutions to reduce this eect.
*NOTE: To promote appliance service life, it is strongly recommended to follow the maintenance procedures in this manual.

Part 4 - Piping
Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the warranty and may result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Dielectric unions or galvanized steel ttings must not be used in a system with this appliance. Doing so WILL VOID the warranty. Use only copper, brass, or stainless steel ttings. Teon thread sealant must be used on all connections.
Plumbing of this appliance should only be done by a qualied, licensed plumber in accordance with all local and national plumbing codes or any applicable prevailing standards. The appliance may be connected to an indirect storage tank to supply domestic hot water. HTP oers 30/45/60/80/119 gallon size indirect storage tanks in Stainless Steel or 50/80/119 in Glass Lined construction. These indirect storage tanks will be directly connected to the supply and return connections.

water line.
5. Install a pressure reducing valve on the cold feed make­up water line, (15 PSI nominal on the system return). Check temperature and pressure gauge which should read 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 manufacturer instructions for specic information relating to expansion tank installation. Size the expansion tank for the required system volume and capacity.
8. Install supply air vent to remove air when commissioning the appliance.
9. The safety relief valve is supplied with the appliance, and must be installed on the top ¾” NPT tting marked “T&P”. Pipe the discharge of the safety relief valve to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief. Discharge 6” above the drain. Provide piping that is the same size as the safety relief valve outlet. Never block the outlet of safety relief valve.
B. Circulator Pumps
Use two wrenches when tightening water piping at 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 building piping system must meet or exceed the piping requirements in this manual. The appliance 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 appliance. Some codes/jurisdictions may require additional external controls.
This appliance is designed to function in a closed loop 15 PSI System. A factory installed low water cut o will ensure that you have adequate water in the system. We have also included a T&P gauge which allows the user to monitor system pressure and outlet temperature from the appliance. Install the appliance so the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, etc.) allowing clearance for basic service of circulator replacement, valves and other parts. Observe minimum 1” clearance around all hot water pipes not protected by non-combustible materials. On an appliance installed above radiation level, some states and local codes require a low water cut o device at the time of installation. If the appliance supplies hot water to heating coils in air handler units, ow control valves or other devices must be installed to prevent gravity circulation of appliance water in the coils during the cooling cycle. Chilled water medium must be piped in parallel with the appliance. Basic steps are listed below which will guide you through the installation of the appliance.
1. Connect the system return marked “Return”.
2. Connect the system supply marked “Supply”.
3. Install purge and balance valve or shut o valve and drain on system return to purge air out of each zone.
4. Install a back ow preventer on the cold feed make-up
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.
Sizing Space Heat System Piping
1. See piping details in this manual. Special attention must be paid when connecting an indirect storage tank, as temperature delivered to low temperature circuits may be higher than desired. The use of thermostatic mixing valves is required to protect these circuits.
To control the temperature of low temperature heating circuits when using an indirect red water heater, a thermostatic mixing valve is required. Failure to install a thermostatic mixing valve when using an indirect red water heater could result in damage the heating circuits. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty.
2. Size the piping and components in the space heating system using recognized design methods.
C. Backow Preventer
Use a backow preventer specically designed for hydronic installations. This valve should be installed on the cold water ll supply line per local codes.
D. Expansion Tank
Expansion Tank and Make-Up Water
1. Ensure that the expansion tank is sized to correctly handle appliance and system water volume and temperature. The appliance volume is 55 gallons.
Undersized expansion tanks cause system water to be lost from the relief valve, causing make-up water to be added. Eventual appliance failure can result due to excessive make-up water addition. SUCH FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
LP-325 Rev. 4.4.17
Page 14
14
2. The expansion tank must be located as shown in Applications, this manual, or following recognized design methods. See expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for details.
3. Connect the expansion tank on the suction side of the circulator. Always install the system ll 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.
Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the warranty and may result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
E. Relief Valve
Install supplied temperature and pressure relief valve. Connect discharge piping to a safe disposal location, following the guidelines on the next page. Replacement relief valves are available. See parts list.
Overheated water and high pressures can cause water tank explosion. A properly sized temperature and pressure relief valve must be installed in the opening provided on the appliance. Failure to install a properly sized temperature and pressure relief valve could result in explosion and property damage, serious injury, or death. Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve or relief valve line under any circumstances! Explosion and property damage, serious injury, or death may result. 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 oor drain, making discharge clearly visible.
The 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 valve may be installed between the relief valve and appliance or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place any obstruction in the discharge line.
Test the operation of the relief valve after lling and pressurizing the system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, immediately replace with a new properly rated relief valve.
Test T&P valve at least once annually to ensure the waterway is clear. If valve does not operate, turn the appliance “o” and call a plumber immediately.
Take care whenever operating relief valve to avoid
scalding injury or property damage. 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.
RE-INSPECTION OF T&P RELIEF VALVES: T&P valves should be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS, and replaced if necessary, by a licensed plumbing
contractor or qualied service technician to ensure that the product has not been aected by corrosive water conditions and to ensure that the valve and discharge line have not been altered or tampered with illegally. Certain naturally occuring conditions may corrode the valve and its components over time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such conditions can only be detected if the valve and its components are physically removed and inspected. Do not attempt to conduct an inspection on your own. Contact your plumbing contractor for a re-inspection to assure continued safety.
FAILURE TO RE-INSPECT THE T&P VALVE AS DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE AND/OR PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

2. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect storage water appliance as shown.
G. Zoning with Circulators
1. Connect appliance to system as shown in the Applications diagrams. Properly size each zone circulator for friction loss of each zone for proper operation.
2. Install a separate circulator for each zone.
3. Connect DHW piping to indirect storage water appliance as shown.
H. Multiple Appliances
1. All piping shown is reverse return to assure balanced ow through the connected appliances.
2. Connect DHW piping to indirect storage water appliance as shown.
I. Indirect Water Heater Scalding
This appliance can deliver scalding water. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers may require increased water temperatures. By setting the thermostat on this appliance to obtain the increased water temperature required by these appliances you may create the potential for scald injury.
To protect against injury, install the mixing valve included with this appliance. This valve will reduce point of use discharge temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in the branch supply lines.
Table 3 details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.
LP-325 Rev. 4.4.17

For installation that incorporates standing iron radiation and systems with manual vents at high points, follow above section and, starting with the nearest manual air vent, open until water ows out. Then close vent. Repeat procedure, working your way toward furthest air vent. NOTE: It may be necessary to install a basket strainer in an older system where larger amounts of sediment may be present. Annual cleaning of strainer may be necessary.
Upon completion, make sure that the ll valve is in automatic position and each zone balance and purge or shut o is in an open position and zone valves are set for automatic operation.
ASSE 1017 or ASSE 1070 temperature limiting or mixing valves do not eliminate the risk of scalding. To avoid scalding:
Set the appliance set point temperature as low as possible.
Feel water before bathing or showering.
If thermostatic valves are required, use devices
specically designed for such purpose. Install these devices in accordance with instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Failure to install a temperature limiting or mixing valve and follow these instructions could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death due to scalds.
J. Fill and Purge Heating System
The appliance must be full of water and the system fully purged BEFORE powering the appliance. When lling the appliance, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank and piping. All air has been purged from the system when water runs freely from the faucets. Applying power to the appliance when it is not full of water will damage the heat exchanger, and could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. Such damages ARE NOT covered by appliance warranty.
Attach the hose to either balance or 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 o valve after the drain.
Open rst zone balance and purge or drain valve to let water ow out the hose. If zone valves are used, open the valves one at a time manually. (NOTE: You should check valve manufacturer instruction prior to opening valves manually, so as not to damage any valves.)
Manually operate ll valve regulator. When water runs out of the hose, while it’s connected to the balance and purge valve or drain you will see a steady stream of water (without bubbles). Close balance and purge valve or drain to stop the water from owing. Disconnect the hose and connect it to next zone to be purged.
Repeat this procedure for additional zones (one at a time).
Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions which are FDA RATED AS GRAS and specically formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic systems. Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the warranty and may result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Glycol in hydronic applications includes inhibitors that prevent it from attacking metallic system components. Make certain that system uid is checked for the correct glycol concentration and inhibitor level. The glycol solution
should be tested at
least once a year, or as recommended by the glycol manufacturer. Anti-freeze solutions expand more than water. For example: A 50% by volume glycol solution expands 4.8% in volume during a temperature increase from 32 to 180oF, while water expands 3% over the same temperature rise. Allowances must be made for expansion in system design. A 30% mixture of glycol results in a BTU output loss of 15% with a 5% increase in head against the system circulator. A 50% glycol mixture results in a BTU output loss of 30% with a 50% increase in head against the system circulator.
It is highly recommended that you carefully follow glycol manufacturer recommended concentrations, expansion requirements, and maintenance recommendations (pH additive break down, inhibitor reduction, etc.) You must carefully gure the additional friction loss in the system as well as the reduction in heat transfer coecients.

Part 5 - Venting and Condensate Removal
The appliance must be vented as detailed in this section. Ensure exhaust vent and intake piping complies with these instructions regarding vent system. Inspect nished exhaust vent and intake piping thoroughly to ensure all joints are well secured, airtight, and comply with all applicable code requirements, as well as the instructions provided in this manual. Failure to properly install the vent system will result in severe personal injury or death.
A. General
This appliance is certied 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 carefully. Failure to do so will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
1. Installation should be made in accordance with the regulations of the Authority Having Jurisdiction, local code authorities, and utility companies which pertain to this type of water heating equipment.
2. Install the venting system in accordance with these instructions and with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, CAN/CGA B149, and / or applicable provisions of local building codes.
3. This appliance must be vented with materials, components, and systems listed and approved for Category IV appliances.
Exhaust and intake are to be piped separately. This appliance cannot share a common exhaust or intake with multiple appliances. Failure to follow these instructions will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
NOTE: To avoid contamination often contained in indoor air, it is best to pipe all intake combustion air directly to the outdoors. NOTE: If exhaust vent pipe system passes through an unheated space such as an alcove or attic, the space must be heated.
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 ue adapter. Failure to do so could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Due to the extreme ammability 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.
CPVC, Polypropylene, or Stainless Steel pipe material MUST be used for the rst 3 feet of the vent run if the exhaust vent passes through an enclosed space greater than 6”, such as a wall. The balance of the vent run can be installed with standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Failure to comply with this warning could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Exhaust vent adaptors are not designed as load-bearing devices, and must not be used to support exhaust vent piping. All vent pipes must be properly connected, supported, and the exhaust vent must be pitched a minimum of 1/4” per foot back to the appliance to allow drainage of condensate. Failure to properly support vent piping and follow the information in this statement could result in product damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as well as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations, and ordinances when installing this appliance and related components near high heat sources.
NOTE: The use of double-wall vent or insulated material for the combustion air intake pipe is recommended in cold cli­mates to prevent the condensation of airborne moisture in the incoming combustion air.
It is required to insert the provided exhaust and intake screens into the vent terminations to prevent blockage caused by debris or birds. Failure to keep terminations clear could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
You must not use “B” vent in an exhaust application. “B” vent is for intake applications ONLY. Using “B” vent in an exhaust application will result in serious injury or death.
C. Additional Requirements for Installation in Canada
1. Installations must be made with a vent pipe system certied to ULC-S636. IPEX is an approved vent manufacturer in Canada supplying vent material listed to ULC-S636. Additionally, you may use AL29-4C stainless steel venting to comply with Canadian requirements.
2. The rst three (3) feet of vent pipe from the appliance ue outlet must be readily accessible for visual inspection. 3. The components of the certied vent system must not be interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted pipe / ttings.

E. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Sizing
1. The exhaust vent and intake pipe size is 2” for 100 and 130kBTU models and 3” for 160 and 199kBTU models.
2. The maximum total equivalent length of 2” exhaust vent and intake pipe should not exceed 85 feet. The maximum total equivalent length of 3” exhaust vent and intake pipe should not exceed 200 feet.
a. The equivalent length of elbows, tees, and other ttings are listed in the Friction Loss Table.
Friction Loss Equivalent in Piping and Fittings
Fittings or Piping
90 Degree Elbow* 5’ 5’ 3’
45 Degree Elbow 3’ 3’ 1’

Table 6 - *Friction loss for long radius elbow is 1 foot less. NOTE: Consult Polypropylene venting instructions for friction loss and pressure drop equivalents.
Equivalent Feet
2” 3” 4”
b. For example: If the exhaust vent has two 90o elbows and 10 feet of PVC pipe we will calculate: Exhaust Vent Equivalent Length = (2x5) + 10 = 20 feet. Further, if the intake pipe has two 90o elbows, one 45o elbow, and 10 feet of PVC pipe, the following calculation applies: Intake Pipe Equivalent Length = (2x5) + 3 + 10 = 23 feet. Finally, if a concentric kit is used we nd: Total Equivalent Length = 20 + 23 + 3 = 46 feet. The total equivalent length is 46 feet, well below the maximum of 85 feet for 2” pipe. c. Eort should be made to keep a minimum dierence in equivalent length between the exhaust vent and intake pipe.
3. The minimum total equivalent length is 16 feet.
Do not exceed the maximum lengths for vent pipes. Excessive length could result in appliance shutdown and property damage. Failure to provide a minimum total vent length of 16 equivalent feet could result in property damage and improper product operation.
F. Longer Vent Runs
The maximum total equivalent length can be extended by increasing the diameter of both the exhaust vent and intake pipes equally. However, the transitions should begin a minimum of 15 equivalent feet from the appliance.
a. The maximum total equivalent length for increased diameter vent pipes is 125 feet for 2” transitioning to 3” pipe (this length includes the minimum 15 total equivalent feet necessary for transition). NOTE: 3” vent pipe can be increased in diameter, but total
equivalent length cannot be increased beyond 200 feet. b. Transitions should always be made in vertical sections of pipe to prevent the condensate from pooling in the vent pipe.

G. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Installation
All joints of positive pressure vent systems must be sealed completely to prevent leakage of ue products into the living space. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
1. Use only solid PVC, CPVC, or stainless steel pipe or a Polypropylene vent system approved for use with Category IV appliances. FOAM CORE PIPING IS NOT APPROVED FOR EXHAUST VENT APPLICATIONS. Foam core piping may be used on air inlet piping only.
2. Remove all burrs and debris from joints and ttings.
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
LP-325 Rev. 4.4.17
Page 22
22
away from the pitch of the roof.
6. If the exhaust vent is to be terminated in a walled o area (such as a roof with a parapet wall), ensure the exhaust vent terminates a minimum of 10’ from nearest wall and extends level with or above the top of the wall. This will ensure ue gas does does not get trapped and possibly recirculated into the intake air pipe, which could contaminate the combustion air.
7. To prevent water leakage, install adequate roof ashing where the pipe enters the roof.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Horizontal lengths of exhaust vent must slope back towards the water heater not less than ¼” per foot to allow condensate to drain from the vent pipe.
11. The exhaust vent must terminate where vapors cannot make accidental contact with people or pets, or damage air conditioners, shrubs, or other plants or objects.
12. DO NOT vent the water heater in a chimney ue serving a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel. The water heater may only be vented in vacant chimneys. In vacant chimney applications, install and seal a rain cap over existing chimney openings.
13. 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.
14. Do not use the heater to support any piping.
15. A screened straight coupling is provided with the heater for use as an outside exhaust termination.
16. A screened inlet air tee is provided with the heater to be used as an outside intake termination.
17. Maximum Snow Level Determination: These installation instructions reference snow levels in establishing a minimum height for the installation of exhaust vent or air intake terminations. Snow levels shall be determined as follows:
a. The installation location may, by ordinance, designate how snow levels are calculated in that location; or b. In the absence of specic ordinances, snow levels shall be calculated from the average monthly maximum depth of snow accumulation as indicated by the National Weather Service’s 10 year statistics for the installation location/geographical area.
In addition:
Total length of vent piping shall not exceed the limits specied in this manual.
The vent piping for this direct vented appliance is approved for zero clearance to combustible construction.
The ue products coming from the exhaust vent will create a large plume when the heater is in operation. Avoid venting in areas that will aect 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 vent near sot vents, crawl space vents, or other areas where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or cause property damage.
DO NOT vent where condensate vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of
regulators, relief valve, or other equipment.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and as Required by State and Local Codes:
The vented gas fueled appliance shall not be installed so its combustion, ventilation, or dilution air is obtained from a bedroom or bathroom. Signage: Whenever any through-the-wall (horizontal or sidewall) vent is installed less than seven feet above the nished grade, a metal or plastic identication plate shall be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a minimum height of eight feet above grade directly in line with the exhaust vent terminal. The sign shall read, in print no less than 0.5 inches in size, “GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS”. Marking of Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe: Piping used for ventilation, make-up, or combustion air intake shall be labeled as follows:
a. Throughout the entire developed length:
i. Labels must be placed every ten feet for exposed/visible piping; or ii. Labels must be placed every three feet for concealed
piping. b. At all changes of direction; c. On each side of a penetration through a partition, wall or ceiling; and d. The labels shall be black lettering that:
i. Indicates that the piping is used for ventilation, make-up,
or combustion air intake, and
ii. The letters shall be sized equal to a minimum of the pipe
diameter. However, for piping with a diameter exceeding
two inches, said lettering does not need to be larger than
two inches.

H. Applications
1. Direct Vent Installation of Exhaust and Intake
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 pipe can be routed through the building and properly terminated. Dierent 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 pipe 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

through an existing vent opening. State and local codes always take precedence over manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to check state and local codes before installing through an existing opening could result in property damage and add signicantly to installation costs.
If an existing venting system is converted for use with this appliance, the installer must ensure that the existing venting system is clean and free from particulate contamination that could damage the appliance. Failure to do so could result in property damage and appliance failure. Such failure IS NOT covered under warranty.
Concentric Venting Through an Existing System
NOTE: The following instructions refer only to venting through an existing vent system, and not to venting with HTP’s optional concentric vent kits. Refer to Concentric Vent Kit installation manual (LP-166) for further information on venting with the optional concentric vent kits. Concentric venting through an existing system must run vertically through the roof. Use only the approved venting materials specied in Table 4 for piping the system. All instructions listed in this Venting section apply. See Figures 18-1 and 18-2 for venting demonstrations.
The upper and lower vent terminations as well as all joints in the venting system must be properly sealed to ensure that all combustion air is drawn properly and exhaust does not leak from the system. Failure to properly seal the venting system will result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Chase Venting Through an Existing System
When venting as a chase, follow all instructions included in this Venting section, including those in the previous Concentric Venting Through an Existing System section. See Figure 18-3
25
for chase venting demonstration.
3. Power Venting, Indoor Combustion Air in Conned or Unconned 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 2.
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 sucient 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 Figure 19) 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. Unconned 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. Conned 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 conned 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 oor. 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 conned 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. See Figure 20.

I. Condensate Removal System
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. This condensing high eciency appliance has a condensate removal system. Condensate is water vapor derived from combustion products, similar to that produced by an automobile when it is initially started. It is very important that the condensate line is sloped down away from the appliance and to a suitable drain. If the appliance condensate outlet is lower than the drain, you must use a condensate removal pump (kit p/n 554200 available from HTP). If required by local authorities, a condensate lter of lime crystals, marble, or phosphate chips will neutralize slightly acidic condensate. This can be installed in the eld and purchased from HTP (p/n 7450P-212).
The condensate line must remain unobstructed. If allowed to freeze in the line or obstructed in any other manner, condensate can exit from the appliance tee, resulting in potential water damage to property. When installing a condensate pump, select one approved for use with condensing appliances and furnaces. The condensate pump should have an overow switch to prevent property damage from spillage. Condensate from the appliance will be slightly acidic (pH from 3.2 to 4.5). Install a neutralizing lter if required by local codes.
installations that may encounter sustained freezing conditions, the use of heat tape is recommended to avoid freezing of the condensate line. It is also recommended to bush up the condensate line size to 1” and terminate condensate discharge as close to the unit as possible. Longer condensate runs are more prone to freezing. 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 ow.
Power to the optional condensate pump is continuous. When the appliance is powered o the condensate pump will remain on. It is important to remember to turn o the condensate pump when powering down the appliance. Failure to do so could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Figure 15 - Condensate Piping
NOTES:
1. Condensate line must be pitched at least ¼” per foot to properly drain. If this cannot be done, or a very long length of condensate hose is used, 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. PVC or CPVC pipe should be the only material used for condensate line. Steel, brass, copper, and other metals will be subject to corrosion or deterioration.
3. A frozen condensate line could result in a blocked vent condition. It is very important to protect the condensate line from freezing temperatures or any type of blockage. In

Part 6 - Wiring
To avoid electrical shock, turn o all power to the appliance prior to opening an electrical box within the unit. Ensure the power remains o 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. Jumping out control circuits or components WILL VOID product warranty and can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
NOTE: Wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1. If original wiring as supplied with appliance must be replaced, use only TEW 105
o
C wire or equivalent. Appliance must be electrically grounded as required by National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition.
It is of extreme importance that this unit be properly grounded. It is very important that the building system ground is inspected by a qualied electrician prior to making this connection. Electrical power must only be turned on when the appliance is completely lled with cold water. Failure to follow these instructions could result in component or product failure, serious injury, or death.

required to be externally mounted and connected according to local codes that may apply.
2. Connect the central heating pump to the terminals marked 8 (HOT), 2 (NEUT), 3 (GND) in Figure 22. The connections shown are suitable for a maximum continuous pump draw of 5 amps at 120 volts. If the pump requires more current or voltage other than 120 volts, an external motor starter or contactor will be required.
3. If using DHW, connect the domestic hot water pump as shown to the terminals marked 4 (HOT), 5 (NEUT), 6 (GND). The connections shown are suitable for a maximum continuous pump draw of 3 amps at 120 volts.
4. If a pump requires more current or voltage other than 120 volts, an external motor starter or contactor will be required.
CONTROL
CAT3/CAT5 CONNECTION POINTS
Label all wires prior to disconnecting them when servicing the appliance. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or personal injury.
A. Field Wiring
All connections made to the appliance in the eld are done on the eld connection board located on the top left side of the cabinet. Multiple knockout locations are available to route eld wires into and out of the cabinet. The appliance is capable of directly controlling 2 pumps when in standard mode and 3 pumps when congured as a cascade master appliance. When congured as a standard unit, each pump output can provide a maximum of 3 amps at 120 volts. If pumps require more than this amount of power, an external contactor or motor starter is needed. If the appliance is congured as a cascade master, the appliance pump output is a dry contact output capable of switching 5 amps at 120 volts in addition to the system pump and DHW pump outputs sourcing 3 amps each. An alarm bell or light can be connected to the alarm connection of the appliance. The alarm connection may be used to power a 120V device, and is rated 3 amps at 120 VAC. The eld connection board 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.
B. Line Voltage Wiring for Standard Appliance
1. Connect the incoming power wiring to the line voltage terminal strip in the eld connection board at terminals 120V, Neutral, Ground. A line voltage fused disconnect switch may be
GND

2. 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.
3. Mount the outdoor sensor on an exterior surface of the building, preferably on the north side in an area that will not be aected by direct sunlight and will be exposed to varying weather conditions. NOTE: Follow instructions provided with the sensor for detailed mounting instructions.
4. When correctly mounted, connect sensor to terminals marked 12 and 13.
E. Indirect Sensor (Optional)
1. If an indirect water heater is not used in the installation, move on.
2. The appliance will operate an indirect red water heater with either a thermostat type aquastat or an HTP 7250P-325 tank sensor installed in the water heater. When a tank sensor is used, the appliance control will automatically detect its presence and a demand for heat from the water heater will be generated when the tank temperature falls below the user set point by more than the user selectable oset. Demand will continue until the indirect water heater temperature is above the set point. Connect the indirect sensor or mechanical aquastat to the terminals marked 10 and 11 on the eld connection board.
17 (0-10 VOLT –) in the electrical junction box caution should be used to ensure that the 16 (0-10 VOLT +) connection does not become connected to ground.
G. UL353 Low Water Cut-O Kit (Optional)
1. If an HTP 7450P-255 UL353 Low Water Cut-O (LWCO) Kit is not used, move on to Section I.
2. The control box of the kit should be mounted to the left side of the appliance near the low water cut-o probe, which is located near the outlet nipple of the appliance.
3. Follow the complete instructions included in the kit for proper installation.
H. Wiring of an Appliance Alarm (Optional)
An alarm bell or light can be connected to the alarm connection of the appliance. In the event of an alarm, the alarm connection may be used to power a 120V device. The alarm connections are rated 3 amps at 120 VAC. Connect to terminal 1 (HOT), 2 (NEUT), and 3 (GND).
To control the temperature of low temperature heating circuits when using an indirect red water heater, a thermostatic mixing valve is required. Failure to install a thermostatic mixing valve when using an indirect red water heater could result in damage the heating circuits. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty.
F. Optional 0-10 Volt Building Control Signal
1. If a 0-10 volt building management system is not used in the installation, move on.
2. A signal from a building management system may be connected to the appliance to enable remote control. This signal should be a 0-10 volt positive-going DC signal.
3. When this input is enabled using the installer menu, a building control system can be used to control either the set point temperature or the heat output of the appliance. The control interprets the 0-10 volt signal as follows; when the signal is between 0 and 1.5 volts, the appliance will be in standby mode, not ring. When the signal rises above 1.5 volts, a demand for heat is started. As the signal continues to rise towards its maximum of 10 volts, the appliance will increase either its set point temperature or ring rate depending on the setting of function 17 in the installer menu. See Part 10 for details on the setting of functions 16 and 17 for this option.
4. Connect a building management system or other auxiliary control signal to the terminals marked 16 (0-10 VOLT +) and

I. Wiring of the Cascade System Communication Bus
1. Use standard CAT3 or CAT5 computer network patch cables to connect the communication bus to each of the appliances. These cables are readily available at any oce supply, computer, electronic, department or discount home supply store in varying lengths. If you possess the skills you can also construct custom length cables.
2. It is recommended to use the shortest length cable that will reach between the appliances and create a neat installation. Do not run unprotected cables across the oor 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 the maximum length of communication bus cables not exceed 200 feet.
3. Route the communication cables through one of the knockouts in the cabinet.
4. Connect the appliances in a daisy chain conguration. It is best to wire the appliances 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 appliances to each other properly, two of the appliances will have single open connection ports.
J. Cascade Master Pump and Sensor Wiring
1. Connect the system pump hot wire to the terminal marked 1.
2. Connect the system pump neutral to the terminal 2 and the pump ground wire to terminal 3.
3. Connect a jumper wire from the 120 VOLT terminal to terminal
9.
4. Connect the appliance pump to the terminals marked 8, 2, and 3.
5. Connect the system pipe sensor to the terminals marked 10 and 11.
6. Connect the outdoor sensor (if used) to the terminals marked 12 and 13.
7. Connect the signal to start the system to the terminals marked 14 and 15. NOTE: This signal can come from a room thermostat or a dry contact closure. No power of any voltage should be fed into either of these terminals.
Figure 17 - Cascade Wiring
K. Cascade Follower Pump and Sensor Wiring
1. Connect the appliance pump to the terminals labeled 8, 2, and 3. If you are using an indirect red water tank connected directly to the follower appliance connect the pump for it to the 4, 5, and 6 terminals.
2. An alarm bell or light can be connected to the alarm contacts of the follower appliance. In the event of an alarm, the normally open alarm contact may be used to turn a device on. The normally closed alarm contact may be used to turn a device o if the appliance goes into lockout mode. The alarm contacts are rated 3 amps at 120 VAC.
3. To connect an alarm device, connect the power for the device to terminal 1. Connect the neutral or return of the alarm device to the neutral terminal on the customer connection board. NOTE: In a cascade system the alarm output of the appliance addressed as #1 will also be active if the master appliance has a lockout condition. The alarm output of appliances addressed as 2-7 will only activate an alarm if a lockout condition occurs on that specic appliance.

Part 7 - Gas Connections
Failure to follow all precautions could result in re, explosion, severe injury, or death.
Ensure the gas on which the appliance will operate is the same type specied on the rating plate. Failure to do so could result in appliance malfunction, property damage, personal injury, or death.
The gas supply shall have a maximum inlet pressure of less than 14” water column (350 mm), ½ pound pressure (3.5 kPa), and a minimum of 3.5” water column. The entire piping system, gas meter and regulator must be sized properly to prevent pressure drop greater than 0.5” WC as stated in the National Fuel Gas Code. This information is listed on the rating plate. It is very important that you are connected to the type of gas as noted on the rating plate: “LP” for liqueed petroleum, propane gas, or “Nat” for natural or city gas. All gas connections must be approved by the local gas supplier or utility, in addition to the governing authority, prior to turning the gas supply on. Do not remove the adaptor in Figure 28! It is mandatory that this tting is used for connection to a eld fabricated drip leg per the National Fuel Gas Code. You must ensure that the entire gas line to the connection at the appliance is no smaller than 3/4”. Once all inspections have been performed, the piping must be leak tested. If the leak test requirement is a higher test pressure than the maximum gas inlet pressure, you must isolate the appliance from the gas line to continue leak testing. To do this, you must turn o the factory and eld-installed gas cocks. This will minimize the possibility of damaging the gas valve. 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” water column, the gas valve must be replaced. Never use an open ame (match, lighter, etc.) to check gas connections.
UL recognized fuel gas detectors are recommended in all enclosed propane and natural gas applications where there is a potential for an explosive mixture of fuel gas to accumulate. The installation of these detectors should be made in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s recommendations, and/or local laws. Failure to install fuel gas detectors in these applications could result in re, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
A. Gas Piping
Run the gas supply line in accordance with all applicable codes. Locate and install manual shuto valves in accordance with local and state requirements.
33
Support gas supply piping with hangers, not by the appliance or its accessories. The appliance gas valve and blower will not support the weight of the piping. Make sure the gas piping is protected from physical damage and freezing, where required. Failure to follow these instructions could result in gas leakage, and result in re, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Do not use Teon tape on gas line pipe thread. Use a pipe compound rated for use with natural and propane gases. Apply sparingly on male pipe ends, leaving the two end threads bare. Failure to follow these instructions could result in gas leakage, and result in re, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Figure 20 - Gas Connection
B. Gas Table
Refer to the table below to size the supply piping to minimize pressure drop between meter or regulator and unit. Maximum capacity of pipe in cubic feet of gas per hour for gas pressures of .5 psi or less and a pressure drop of .3 inch water column. It is recommended that a soapy solution be used to detect leaks. Bubbles will appear on the pipe to indicate a leak is present. The gas piping must be sized for proper ow and length of pipe to avoid excessive pressure drop. Both the gas meter and the gas regulator must be properly sized for the total gas load. If you experience a pressure drop greater than 1” WC, the meter, regulator or gas line is undersized or in need of service. You can attach a manometer to the incoming gas drip leg by removing the cap. The gas pressure must remain between 3.5” WC and 14” WC during stand-by (static) mode and while in operating (dynamic) mode at full output. If an in-line regulator is used, it must be a minimum of 10 feet from the appliance. 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 also in empty tank situations. This can also occur when a utility company shuts o service to an area to provide maintenance to their lines. The gas valve must not be replaced with a conventional gas valve under any circumstances. As an additional safety feature, the gas valve in this appliance has a anged connection to the swirl plate and blower.

C. Gas Valve
Do not do a gas conversion on this appliance without an ocially approved conversion kit and instructions supplied by HTP. Failure to use a conversion kit when converting the appliance to re on Natural or Propane gas will result in extremely dangerous burner operation, leading to re, explosion, severe personal injury, or death.
Strain on the gas valve and ttings may result in vibration, premature component failure and gas leakage, and result in re, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Adjustments to the throttle screw or oset may only be made by a qualied gas technician using a calibrated combustion analyzer capable of measuring CO2 and CO. Failure to follow this instruction could result in re, explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Part 8 - Start-Up Preparation
Thoroughly clean and ush any system that has used glycol before installing the appliance. Provide the customer with a material safety data sheet (MSDS) on the uid used.
A. Check / Control Water Chemistry
Chemical imbalance of your water can cause severe damage to your appliance and associated equipment, and may also aect eciency. 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 appliance, as water quality will aect the reliability of the system. Outlined below are those water quality parameters which need to be met in order for the system to operate eciently 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.
To assure extended service life, it is recommended to test water quality prior to installation. Listed below are some guidelines.
35
Clean system to remove sediment*
1. You must thoroughly ush the system (without appliance connected) to remove sediment. The high-eciency heat exchanger can be damaged by buildup or corrosion due to sediment.
2. For zoned systems, ush each zone 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. *NOTE: It is recommended you clean heat exchanger at least once a year to prevent lime scale buildup. Follow the maintenance procedure to clean the heat exchanger in the Maintenance Section of this manual.
Test/replace freeze protection uid
1. For systems using freeze protection uids, follow uid manufacturer’s instructions to verify inhibitor level and that other uid characteristics are satisfactory.
2. Freeze protection uid must be replaced periodically due to degradation of inhibitors over time. Follow all uid manufacturer instructions.
NOTE: Appliance failure due to improper water chemistry is not covered by warranty.
B. Check for Gas Leaks
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in the appliance system. Damage to elastomer seals and gaskets in the system could occur, resulting in substantial property damage.
Water pH between 6.5 and 8.5
1. Maintain appliance water pH between 6.5 and 8.5. Check with litmus paper or have it chemically analyzed by a water treatment company.
2. If the pH diers from above, consult local water treatment company for treatment needed.
Hardness less than 7 grains (120 mg/L)
Consult local water treatment companies for unusually hard water areas (above 7 grains hardness).
Chloride concentration less than 100 ppm (mg/L)
1. Using chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable since drinking water chloride levels are typically less than 5 ppm.
2. Do not connect the appliance to directly heat a swimming pool or spa water.
3. Do not ll appliance or operate with water containing chloride in excess of 100 ppm.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) less than 500 ppm (mg/L)
1. The greater the amounts of TDS present, the higher the corrosion potential due to increased conductivity in the water.
2. If using softened water to ll the appliance, it is still possible to have high TDS. This water can be corrosive. Consult local water treatment companies for other treatment solutions to reduce this eect.
Hardness: Less than 7 grains (120 mg/L) Chloride levels: Less than 100 ppm (mg/L) pH levels: 6.5 - 8.5 TDS: 500 ppm / mg/L
Before starting the appliance, and during initial operation, smell near the oor and around the appliance for gas odorant or any unusual odor. Remove appliance front door and smell interior of appliance enclosure. Do not proceed with startup if there is any indication of a gas leak. Repair any leaks at once. PROPANE ONLY – The propane supplier mixes 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.
C. Freeze Protection (When Used)
NEVER use automotive or standard glycol antifreeze. Do not use ethylene glycol made for hydronic systems. Use only freeze-protection uids certied by uid manufacturer as suitable for use with stainless steel boilers, veried in the uid manufacturer’s literature. Thoroughly clean and ush any system that has used glycol before installing the new appliance. Provide the appliance owner with a material safety data sheet (MSDS) on the uid used.
1. Determine the freeze protection uid quantity using total system water content following the uid manufacturer’s instructions. Remember to include expansion tank water content.
2. Local codes may require back ow preventer or actual disconnect from city water supply.
3. When using freeze protection uid with automatic ll, install a water meter to monitor water makeup. Freeze protection uid may leak before the water begins to leak, causing concentration to drop, reducing the freeze protection level.
LP-325 Rev. 4.4.17
Page 36
36
Test / Replace Freeze Protection Fluid
1. Follow uid manufacturer instructions to verify inhibitor level and other uid characteristics are satisfactory.
2. Freeze protection uid must be replaced periodically due to degradation of inhibitors over time. Follow all uid manufacturer instructions.
D. Fill and Test Water System
Ensure the appliance is full of water before ring the burner. Failure to do so will damage the appliance. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty, and could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
1. Fill the system only after ensuring water chemistry meets the requirements listed in this manual.
2. Close the manual and automatic air vents and appliance drain valve.
3. Fill to the correct system pressure. Correct pressure will vary with each application.
a. Typical cold water ll pressure for a residential system is 12 psi. b. Pressure will rise when appliance is turned on and system water temperature increases. Operating pressure must never exceed the relief valve pressure setting.
4. At initial ll and during appliance startup and testing, check system thoroughly for leaks. Repair all leaks before proceeding further.
Eliminate all system leaks. Continual fresh make-up water will reduce appliance life. Minerals can build up in the heat exchanger, reducing heat transfer, overheating the heat exchanger and causing heat exchanger failure.
5. The system may have residual substances that could aect water chemistry. After the system has been lled and leak tested, verify that water pH and chloride concentrations are acceptable by sample testing.
E. Purge Air from the Hydronic System
It is important to purge the system of air to avoid damage to the appliance. IMPORTANT! While commissioning the system, the air vent on top of the appliance must remain fully open to allow the appliance to properly ll. Failure to keep the air vent open could lead to improper appliance and system operation.
1. Connect a hose to the purge valve and route hose to an area where water can drain and be seen.
2. Close the appliance or system isolation valve between the purge valve and ll connection to the system.
3. Close zone isolation valves.
4. Open quick-ll valve on cold water makeup line.
5. Open purge valve.
6. One zone at a time, open the isolation valves. Allow water to run through the zone, pushing out the air. Run until no noticeable air ow is present. Close the zone isolation valves and proceed with the next zone. Follow this procedure until all zones are purged.
7. Rell to correct pressure.
F. Check Thermostat Circuit(s)
1. Disconnect the two external wires connected to the appliance thermostat terminals (low voltage terminal strip).
2. Connect a voltmeter across these two incoming wires with power applied to 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 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 appliance low voltage terminal strip.
G. Final Checks Before Starting Appliance
1. Read Startup Procedures within this manual for proper steps to start appliance. (See Startup Report to record steps for future reference).
2. Verify appliance 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.
H. Condensate Removal
1. The appliance is a high eciency condensing appliance. Therefore, the unit has a condensate drain. Condensate uid 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. 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 (7450P-
212).
2. The appliance is equipped with a ¾ female socket weld tting connection that must be piped to a local drain. It is very important that the condensate line is sloped downward away from the appliance to a suitable inside drain. If the condensate outlet on the appliance 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 overow, 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.
LP-325 Rev. 4.4.17

Part 9 - Start-Up Procedure
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
1. This appliance does not have a 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 appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the oor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the oor.
3. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Do not try to light any appliance.
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 re department.
Turn o the gas shuto valve (located outside the appliance) 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 qualied service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a re or explosion.
4. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been damaged.
5. The appliance shall be installed so the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance 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 appliance at once. Find the leak source with a bubble test and repair immediately. Do not start the appliance again until the leak is repaired. Failure to comply could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
A. Operating Instructions
If you smell gas, STOP. Follow listed safety instructions. If you do not smell gas, follow the next steps.
1. Turn on all electrical power to the appliance.
2. Adjust the temperature set point of the appliance if desired. The factory default setting is 180oF. If changes are necessary, follow, “Adjusting the Setpoint”, below.
3. Set the thermostat to create a demand for heat.
4. If the appliance fails to start, refer to the Troubleshooting section in the back of this manual.
B. Cascade System
1. If the appliance is used alone, skip this section.
2. Programming the Master Appliance a. Make sure there is no demand for heat being supplied to the appliance. b. Apply power to the appliance. c. Enter the Installer Menu following instructions in this manual. d. Verify that parameter 15 is set to 0. This makes the Master Appliance address 0.
37
NOTE: The Master Appliance MUST be addressed as 0. e. Set parameter 23 from 0 to 1. f. Exit the Installer Menu.
These settings designate this appliance as the Master Appliance.
3. Follower Appliances NOTE: Read the notes below before programming follower appliances.
The appliance addressed as 1 will share its alarm output with the Master Appliance.
If one of the follower appliances has an indirect red water appliance connected to it, the address of this appliance must be 2 or greater.
It is recommended but not necessary to address appliances in the order that they are wired.
No two appliances can have the same address.
It is not required to use all consecutive address numbers.
Example: In a 2 appliance system with an indirect tank connected to the follower, the follower address could be 2 (address 1 not used).
4. To program follower appliance(s):
a. Make sure there is no demand for heat being supplied to the Master Appliance. b. Apply power to the follower appliance you are working on. c. Enter the installer Menu following instructions in Part 10 of this manual. d. Set parameter 15 to 1 for the desired appliance address after reading the notes above. e. Set parameter 23 to 1 for cascade operation. f. Exit the Installer Menu.
C. Adjusting the Setpoint
Before you change the temperature from the factory setting of 180oF, make sure that none of the thermostats are calling for heat. The controller will not memorize a program setting while in a heating cycle. To access and scroll through additional setting options, press {S3}.

A. Error and Fault Codes
An error or fault code may occur in the appliance. Fault codes lead to a lock out condition of the controller, which will need to be manually reset by pressing the {S4} button.
B. Appliance Error
These temporary error codes help the installer correct a problem before the appliance goes into a lock out fault condition, which will require a manual reset.
1. When an error condition occurs the controller will display an error code on the display module.
2. These error codes and several suggested corrective actions are included in the Table 16.
C. Appliance Fault
1. When a lockout fault condition occurs the controller will illuminate the red “fault” indication light and display a fault code (Example: |F00|) on the display module.
2. Note the fault code and refer to Table 16 for an explanation of the code along with several suggestions for corrective actions.
3. Press {S4} to clear the fault and resume operation. Be sure to observe the operation of the unit to prevent a recurrence of the fault.
When servicing or replacing components that are in direct contact with appliance water, be certain that:

Part 12 - Maintenance
In unusually dirty or dusty conditions, care must be taken to keep appliance cabinet door in place at all times. Failure to do so VOIDS the warranty.
Allowing the appliance to operate with a dirty combustion chamber will hurt operation. Failure to clean the heat exchanger as needed by the installation location could result in appliance failure, property damage, personal injury, or death. Such
product failures ARE NOT covered under warranty. The appliance requires minimal periodic maintenance under normal conditions. However, in unusually dirty or dusty conditions, periodic vacuuming of the cover to maintain visibility of the display and indicators is recommended. Periodic maintenance should be performed once a year by a qualied service technician to assure that all the equipment is operating safely and eciently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualied heating contractor for periodic maintenance of the appliance. Installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the appliance may result in a hazardous condition.
It is extremely important that whenever work is performed on
the plumbing system that either:
The appliance is powered o, or,
The appliance is valved o and isolated from the plumbing
system. Failure to take these measures could result in a dry-ring condition.
The appliance must be full of water and the system fully purged BEFORE powering the appliance. Performing any work in the plumbing system without either powering o the appliance or isolating the appliance through the use of shut-o valves could result in a condition referred to as “dry-ring”. Dry-ring the appliance will damage the heat exchanger, and could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. Such damages ARE NOT covered by appliance warranty.
Part 13 - 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 o. 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. After combustion gases are purged turn o electrical power to the appliance.
B. Vacation Procedure
If there is danger of freezing, change the set point to 70oF. DO NOT turn o 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 trials, normal operation will resume. If the burner lights, but goes o in about 4 seconds, check the polarity of the wiring. See electrical connection section of this manual. 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 appliance, the controls, or the gas supply. Under such circumstances, a qualied service technician should be contacted immediately to properly service the appliance and correct the problem. If a technician is not available, pressing the {S4} button will remove the lockout state so additional trials for ignition can be performed. The unit will try to relight once every 6 minutes.
D. Important Notice
It is extremely important that whenever work is performed on the plumbing system that either:
The appliance is powered o, or,

In unusually dirty or dusty conditions, care must be taken to keep appliance cabinet door in place at all times. Failure to do
so VOIDS the warranty. The appliance requires minimal periodic maintenance under normal conditions. However, in unusually dirty or dusty conditions, periodic vacuuming of the cover to maintain visibility of the display and indicators is recommended. Periodic maintenance should be performed once a year by a qualied service technician to assure that all the equipment is operating safely and eciently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualied heating contractor for periodic maintenance of the appliance. Installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the appliance may result in a hazardous condition.
When servicing or replacing any components of this appliance
be certain that:
The gas is o.
All electrical power is disconnected.
In addition, when servicing or replacing components of this
appliance in direct contact with appliance water:
There is no pressure in the appliance. Pull the release on the relief valve to relieve pressure in the appliance.
Appliance water is not hot.
Failure to follow these precautions could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. Such damages ARE NOT covered by appliance warranty. Allowing the appliance to operate with a dirty combustion chamber will hurt operation. Failure to clean the heat exchanger as needed by the installation location could result in appliance failure, property damage, personal injury, or death. Such product failures ARE NOT covered under warranty. The appliance must be full of water and the system fully purged BEFORE powering the appliance. Performing any work in the plumbing system without either powering o the appliance or isolating the appliance through the use of shut-o valves could result in a condition referred to as “dry-ring”. Dry-ring the appliance will damage the heat exchanger, and could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. Such damages ARE NOT covered by appliance warranty.
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call a qualied 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 re 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 ood or submersion is considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.
The appliance has wire function labels on all internal wiring. Observe the position of each wire before removing it. Wiring errors may cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
