General Operation

Copper-fin II/IIE Boiler and Water Heater Service Manual

How the appliance operates

The Copper-fin uses a finned copper tube heat exchanger to
transfer heat from the flue products to the water. An electronic
control module monitors various inputs to initiate a call for
heat. The blower provides both primary and secondary air to
the burner and forces the flue products out of the combustion
chamber and into the vent system.

How the control module operates

The Copper-fin control module receives input from appliance
sensors. The control module activates and controls the
blower and gas valves to regulate heat input and switches
heater, DHW and system pumps on and off as needed. The
user/installer programs the module to meet system needs by
adjusting control parameters. These parameters set operating
temperatures and heater operating modes. Appliance operation
can be based on heater outlet water temperature, heater return
water temperature, system supply temperature, system return
temperature or tank temperature, depending on the parameter
setting.

Sequence of operation

Table 1A shows control module normal sequences of operation
for space heating and DHW operation. The combined operation
sequence is for a typical application, programmed to provide
DHW priority.

Access modes

User

The user can adjust space heating and/or tank setpoints using
the UP and DOWN buttons at any time during normal
operation. By entering the USER code (0704), the user can also
change temperature units, time and date, and night setback
settings. In user mode, the following parameters can be viewed
but not changed: Heater outlet water temperature in DHW
mode; heater model number; software version; total operating
hours, and total cycles.

Installer

Most parameters are available only to the installer, accessible
only by entering the installer access code (5309).

Saving parameters

To save parameters and exit programming:

Press the ENTER/RESET button, then the MENU/EXIT button
3 times.

To keep parameter settings only for a current operating cycle:

Press the MENU/EXIT button 3 times after making all desired
parameter changes.

To enter a parameter and continue programming:

Press the MENU/EXIT button 1 time to return to the parameter
listings; press again to return to the menu listings. Remember
to press the ENTER/RESET button when finished programming
in order to save the changes made.

OPERATION DISPLAY

1. The manual reset high limit must be closed before any
action will take place.

2. Upon a call for heat the control turns on the appropriate
pumps (system and boiler pumps for space heating; DHW
pump for DHW call). The flow switch and low water cutoff
(if equipped) must close.

3. • The gas pressure switch(es) (if equipped) must close.

• The louver proving input must close.

• If the air pressure switch is open, the prepurge cycle then
begins by starting the combustion blower. Once started,
the air pressure switch must close.

4. After the 15 second prepurge, the blower slows down and
the hot surface igniter (HSI) is energized. The HSI is heated
for at least 20 seconds.

5. Once the HSI is hot, the trial for ignition begins with the
opening of the gas valve.

6. If the SMART SYSTEM control does not sense flame, then
it will lock out.

7. If the SMART SYSTEM control senses flame,
it will fire the burner to maintain the setpoint. The
stages will fire as required to hold the actual temperature at
the setpoint.

8. If the space heating call for heat is active, and the DHW
thermostat closes, the control will turn on the DHW pump,
wait 2 seconds, and then turn off the boiler pump. This will
divert the hot water away from the heating zone(s) and send
it to the DHW tank instead. The control will then fire the
stages to maintain the outlet temperature to the DHW boiler
setpoint.

9. If the DHW thermostat remains on for more than 30 minutes,
and the space heating call for heat is also on, then the
control will turn on the boiler pump, turn off the DHW pump
after 2 seconds, and resume firing based on the space
heating setpoint. As long as both the space heating and
DHW calls for heat remain active, the control will switch
back and forth between the two modes until one of them is
satisfied.

10. Once both calls for heat are satisfied, the control will turn
off the burners. The blower will remain on for the
30 second postpurge cycle. Any pumps that are running
will continue to run for their respective pump delay times,
then turn off.

Viewable and changeable control parameters

CAUTION

Before changing parameters, note the
settings so that the unit can be returned to
its original operating parameters.

General

User code

The User Code allows the user to access and change a limited
number of control parameters. The access code can be changed
by the user or the installer to a code of their choosing. The
default code is 0704. The code can be changed one digit at a
time by using the arrow keys on the display.

Date and time

The control uses an internal clock for the night setback feature
and for logging of events. For these features to work correctly,
the clock must be set when the unit is first installed or any time
the unit has been powered off for more than 30 days. The
date and time are displayed as “YY:MM:DD W hh:mm”. YY
= year, MM = month, DD = date, W = day (1 = Monday, 2 =
Tuesday, etc.), hh = hour (24 hour time; 2:00 PM = 14:00), mm
= minutes.

NOTICE

Software version

The software version allows the user to view the software version
in use by the control. This software controls the operation of
the unit. When a new software version becomes available, the
existing control can be replaced with a new control to update
the software.

Temperature units

The control can be configured to display temperature in either
°C or °F. The default is °F.

SH Night setback offset (boiler only)

Once the internal clock has been set correctly, the SH night
setback feature can be used to program a lower setpoint. The
value of this parameter will be subtracted from the normal
setpoint to determine the setpoint used during night setback.
The temperature range for this parameter is 0°F to 90°F (50°C).
The feature is turned off with a setting of 0°F. The default value
is 0°F.

The internal clock does not adjust for
Daylight Savings Time and therefore, will
require a manual adjustment.

Example: Monday ON: 22:30, Tuesday OFF: 6:45. If you wish
to skip a day and have no night setback, set the on and off times
to the same time, and prior to 12:00 p.m. To keep night setback
active through the entire day, set the on and off time to the same
time, and after 12:00 p.m. The default times for each day will be
08:00 (OFF) and 18:00 (ON).

DHW Night setback offset

Once the internal clock has been set correctly, the DHW night
setback feature can be used to program a lower SH setpoint
during various times of the week. The value of this parameter
will be subtracted from the normal setpoint to determine the
setpoint used during night setback. The temperature range for
this parameter is 0°F to 90°F (50°C). The default value is 0°F.

DHW Night setback times

If the DHW Night Setback parameter is set to anything other
than 0°F, the DHW night setback feature becomes active. This
will require start and stop times to be programmed for the days
that reduced temperatures are required. Each day of the week
(Monday through Sunday) will have an on and off time. If you
wish to skip a day, set the on and off times to the same time,
and prior to 12:00 p.m. To keep night setback active through
the entire day, set the on and off times to the same time and
after 12:00 p.m.

to be reset to 0. Once accessed, press the RESET key to clear

the counter.

Service mode delay

By pressing the PREVIOUS and NEXT keys on the front of
the display for five (5) seconds, the control will be placed
in Service Mode. This will override all other heat demands.
The Service Mode allows the installer to set the unit to either
maximum firing rate or minimum firing rate for the purpose of
combustion analysis. The delay sets the length of time the unit
will stay in the Service Mode if no keys have been pressed before
going back to its original state. The time range of this parameter
is 0 to 40 minutes. The default value is 20 minutes.

Display timeout

Whenever a button on the display is pushed, the backlight on
the LCD is turned on, and a delay timer is reset. When this
timer expires, the backlight turns off, and the display returns
to the first Status Screen. The range of this timer is 0 to 255
seconds. Setting this parameter to 0 disables the backlight. The
default value is 60 seconds.

Bypass valve time

In low temperature systems, a 3-way bypass valve can be installed
between the outlet and the inlet of the heater (see Installation
and Operation Manual). The SMART SYSTEM control can
be set to automatically control this valve to maintain the inlet
temperature above the condensing temperature. Different
valves require different amounts of time to open and close
completely. The SMART SYSTEM controls need to know how
long this takes in order to control the bypass valve properly.

Freeze protection pump on

In order to prevent the water in the heater from freezing, the
SMART SYSTEM control turns on the boiler pump whenever
the inlet temperature goes below the minimum temperature.
The range of this parameter is 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C). The
default value is 45°F (7°C).

Freeze protection burner on

If the inlet temperature continues to drop after strating
the pump (see Freeze Protection Pump On), and the inlet
temperature goes below a second minimum temperature, the
first stage will fire. The temperature range of this parameter
is 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C. The default value is 37°F (3°C).

Freeze protection differential

Once the pump has turned on, this parameter determines how
much the inlet temperature must rise before the pump turns
off. Similarly, once Stage 1 has turned on, this parameter also
determines how much the inlet temperature must rise before
Stage 1 turns back off. The temperature range of this parameter
is 0° to 72°F (40°C). The default temperature is 5°F (3°C).

DHW settings

DHW tank setpoint

When a temperature sensor is installed in the DHW tank, the
DHW tank setpoint sets the target temperature of the water
in the tank. The temperature range of this parameter is 60°F
(15°C) to 190°F (88°C). The default value is 120°F (49°C).

DHW/SH switching time (boiler only)

The time that the SMART SYSTEM control services a DHW
demand before returning to the SH demand is set by this
parameter. The range of this parameter is 0 to 240 minutes.
Setting this parameter to 0 disables the switching function. The
default value of this parameter is 30 minutes.

DHW Tank offset (water heater only)

The tank offset is the number of degrees the DHW tank
temperature must go above the tank setpoint before the water
heater will turn off. The temperature range of this parameter is
0° to 10°F (5°C). The default value is 4°F (2°C).

DHW Tank differential

The tank differential is the number of degrees the DHW tank
temperature must go below the tank setpoint before the heater
or boiler will start to heat the DHW tank. The temperature
range of this parameter is 0° to 40°F (22°C). The default value
is 6°F (3°C).

DHW boiler setpoint (boiler only)

When an indirect DHW call for heat becomes active, the control
will use the DHW boiler setpoint to determine the firing rate
of the unit based on the actual outlet water temperature. The
temperature range of this parameter is 32°F (0°C) to 261°F
(127°C). The default value is 180°F (82°C).

SH/DHW switching time (boiler only)

When a SH call for heat and a DHW call for heat are present at
the same time, the SMART SYSTEM control can switch back
and forth between the two calls. This parameter determines
the maximum length of time the boiler will service the SH call
before switching to the DHW call. The range of this parameter
is 0 to 240 minutes. Setting this parameter to 0 disables the
switching function. The control will service the DHW demand
until it ends, then return to the SH demand (if active). The
default value of this parameter is 30 minutes.

Figure 1-1_Outdoor Air Reset Curve

Copper-fin II/IIE Boiler and Water Heater Service Manual

Outdoor air reset (boiler only)

Outdoor air reset operation

When the outdoor air sensor is installed, the control will
calculate the water temperature setpoint based on the outdoor
air temperature. As the outdoor air temperature drops, the
water temperature setpoint increases. This feature allows
the unit to be more efficient in periods of mild weather, see
FIG. 1-1.

Minimum air temperature

When the outdoor air temperature drops to this point, the
water temperature will be at its maximum setting (FIG.
1-1). The setpoint will continue to increase as the outdoor
temperature drops below this setting. The water temperature
will be limited by the user setpoint. The temperature range of
this parameter is -22°F (-30°C) to 86°F (30°C). The default
value is 25°F (-4°C).

Maximum air temperature

When the outdoor air temperature rises to or above this point,
the water temperature will be at its minimum setting (FIG.
1-1). The temperature range of this parameter is -22°F (-30°C)
to 86°F (30°C). The default value is 70°F (21°C).

Maximum SH setpoint

When the outdoor temperature drops to its minimum
setting (F1) the water temperature setpoint will be at this
value, if the SH setpoint is set higher (FIG. 1-1). The
temperature range of this parameter is 32°F (0°C) to 248°F
(120°C). The default value is 180°F (82°C).

Minimum SH setpoint

When the outdoor temperature rises to or above its
maximum setting (F2) the water temperature will be at this
value (FIG. 1-1). The temperature range of this parameter
is 32°F (0°C) to 248°F (120°C). The default value is 70°F
(21°C).

Outdoor air shutdown

When the outdoor temperature rises above this point, the
control will block all SH demands (DHW demands will
still be active). The temperature range of this parameter
is 32°F (0°C) to 122°F (50°C). The default value is 80°F
(27°C).

Copper-fin II/IIE Boiler and Water Heater Service Manual

Outdoor air shutdown differential

The outdoor air shutdown differential parameter is the number
of degrees below parameter F5 the outdoor air temperature
must go before the unit will respond to a SH demand. The
temperature range of this parameter is 0°F (0°C) to 90°F (50°C).
The default value is 10°F (5°C).

Shift reset curve

The shift reset curve parameter shifts the actual setpoint above
or below the calculated setpoint the number of degrees in this
parameter. The temperature range of this parameter is -27°F
(-15°C) to 27°F (15°). The default value is 0°F (0°C). This
feature will be active if this parameter is set to anything other
than 0°F (0°C).

Boost temperature

If a SH demand lasts longer than the programmed time delay
setting (F9) and there have been no DHW demands, the control
will increase the SH setpoint by the amount in this parameter.
If the SH demand continues through another time period, the
setpoint will be increased again. This will continue until either
the SH demand ends, a maximum of 20 increases has occurred,
or the SH user setpoint has been reached. Once the SH demand
has been satisfied the setpoint will revert back to its calculated
setting. The temperature range of this parameter is 0°F (0°C) to
45°F (25°C). The default value is 0°F (0°C). This feature will be
active if this parameter is set to anything other than 0°F (0°C).

Minimum On/Off delay Stages 1, 3

Whenever Stage 1 or Stage 3 (if used) starts or stops, a timer is
started. This timer must expire before that stage can turn off or
back on. The range of this parameter is 0 to 255 seconds. The
default value is 60 seconds.

Next on delay

Whenever Stage 1 or Stage 3 (if used) turns on, a timer must
expire before another Stage 1 or 3 can turn on, whether in the
same heater, or in another heater in a Cascade. The range of
this parameter is 0 to 255 seconds. The default value is 60
seconds.

Boost time

The boost time parameter sets the amount of time that must
elapse with a SH demand before the water temperature setpoint
will be increased. The time range for this parameter is 1 minute
to 250 minutes. The default value is 20 minutes.

Anti-cycling

Anti-cycle time

Once a demand has been satisfied, a set amount of time must
elapse before the control will respond to a new demand. The
control will block the new heat demand and anti-cycling will
be shown in the display until the time has elapsed or the water
temperature drops below the Anti-cycle Override Differential
parameter. The time range for this parameter is 0 minutes to 40
minutes. The default value is 1 minute.

Anti-cycle override differential

The control will bypass the anti-cycling time if the inlet water
temperature drops too quickly. The control will use the water
temperature at the time it shut off as the starting point. If
the temperature drops below the temperature parameter the
control will abort anti-cycling and allow the unit to fire. The
temperature range of this parameter is 0°F (0°C) to 54°F (30°C).
The default value is 10°F (5°C).

Control modes

SH controlling sensor (boiler only)

The SH controlling sensor parameter selects the sensor the
control will use to regulate the boiler firing rate. The sensor
selections are as follows: The outlet sensor regulates the firing
rate based on the outlet water temperature of the unit and the
inlet sensor regulates the firing rate based on the inlet water
temperature of the unit. If the outlet sensor is selected, and
the optional system supply sensor is connected, the control
will regulate the firing rate based on the system sensor
temperature. If the inlet sensor is selected, and the optional
system return sensor is connected, the control will regulate
the firing rate based on the system return sensor. The default
sensor is the Outlet Sensor.

Enable input (active / inactive)

The boiler or water heater can receive a call for heat in
two different ways. First, an external contact (like a tank
thermostat) or sensor (like a tank sensor) can generate a
call for heat. Second, the 0-10Vdc voltage from a BMS
can be used to generate the call for heat, as well as provide
the setpoint or modulation level. On boilers, the external
contact is connected to the Stage 1 input on the low voltage
connection board. On water heaters, the external contact is
connected to the Tank Thermostat input on the low voltage
connection board. When a tank sensor is connected, the
Tank Thermostat input is not used. When the call for heat
comes from an external contact or tank sensor, the enable
input must be set to active. When the call for heat comes
from the 0-10Vdc input, the enable input must be set to
inactive. The default setting is Active. Can only be set to
inactive when BMS input is set to active.

BMS input (active / inactive)

When the building management input is enabled, the
control modulates the unit or the cascade based on the
voltage on the 0-10V input on the connection board. The
0-10V input may control either the modulation of the
unit(s), or the setpoint. The default value is Inactive. See
menu Section J to adjust the parameters that control the
BMS operation.

Cascade (active / inactive)

Boilers or water heaters may be part of a group of units
sequenced together. When so connected, each heater must
be programmed to operate as part of the Cascade. This is
done by setting the Cascade to Active. The default value
is Inactive.

Sequencer (active / inactive) (boiler only)

The individual stages in the heater can be controlled
separately with an external sequencer.

ModBus (active / inactive)

When the optional ModBus board is installed, the heater
can be monitored and controlled by a Building Control
System (BCS). If the heater is to be controlled through
ModBus this parameter must be set to ACTIVE. The
default value is Inactive.

ModBus timeout

When the heater is being controlled or is receiving
temperature readings through ModBus, the information
sent to the heater must be refreshed periodically. If the
heater does not receive new information after a timeout, it
will revert to local temperature readings and control. This
prevents the heater from running for too long should the
ModBus connection be lost. The range of this parameter is
0 to 120 seconds. The default value is 10 seconds.

Cascade

Copper-fin II/IIE Boiler and Water Heater Service Manual

Building Management System (BMS)

Boiler address

The boiler designated as the Leader needs to be programmed
with address 0. All the Member boilers require addresses from 1
to 7, and the addresses must be different for each Member. The
addresses can be in any order, regardless of the order in which
the units are wired together. The outdoor air (if used), system
supply sensor, and system return sensor must be connected to
the Leader boiler. The default address is 1.

Maximum Cascade setpoint

When the system supply sensor is connected, or the system
supply temperature is provided through ModBus, this parameter
determines the setpoint used by the individual boilers in a
Cascade. When a boiler is commanded to fire by the Leader
boiler, it will attempt to achieve this temperature at its outlet.
The Leader boiler will limit the modulation of the last boiler to
fire in order to hold the temperature at the system supply sensor
to the user setpoint. If any of the boiler outlet temperatures
reach the max. cascade setpoint, the boiler will then modulate
down on its own in order to keep its outlet temperature within
the max. cascade setpoint. Therefore, this parameter can be
used to limit the outlet temperatures of all the boilers in a
Cascade. Note that this parameter does not apply when the
boiler is heating an indirect DHW tank. The temperature range
for this parameter is 32°F (0°C) - 261°F (127°C). The default
max. cascade setpoint is 185°F (85°C).

Cascade offset (boiler only)

This parameter determines how much the temperature must
go above setpoint before the lead boiler will turn off. The
temperature range for this parameter is 0°F (0°C) - 54°F (30°C).
The default value is 9.9°F (5°C).

Cascade differential (boiler only)

This parameter determines how much the temperature must go
below the turn off temperature (Setpoint + Offset) before the
lead boiler turns on. The temperature range for this parameter
is 0°F (0°C) - 54°F (30°C). The default value is 19.8°F (11°C).

BMS type

When the unit or cascade is controlled by the 0-10V BMS input,
the voltage signal can control either the firing rate (power) or
the setpoint. The default value is Power.

Voltage at minimum

This setting determines the voltage at which the external
signal begins to increase either the modulation or the setpoint.
Below this voltage, the modulation or setpoint will be at their
minimum values. The range for this parameter is 0V - (Voltage
at Maximum parameter - 0.1V). The default value is 2V.

Voltage at maximum

This setting determines the voltage at which the external signal
forces either the modulation or the setpoint to their maximum
value. This parameter, along with the previous parameter,
determines how much the modulation or setpoint changes as
the BMS input voltage changes. The modulation or setpoint
will change in proportion to the change in voltage between the
minimum and maximum voltage settings. The range for this
parameter is (Voltage at Minimum parameter + 0.1V) - 10V.
The default setting is 10V.

Minimum power

This setting determines the modulation of the unit or cascade
when the BMS input voltage is at or below the Voltage at
Minimum setting. This parameter is active only when the
BMS type is set to Power. The range for this parameter is 0 ­Maximum Power parameter. The default value is 20%.

Maximum power

This setting determines the modulation of the unit or cascade
when the BMS input voltage is at or above the Voltage at
Maximum setting. This parameter is only active when the BMS
type is set to Power. The range for this parameter is Minimum
Power parameter - 100%. The default value is 100%.

Minimum setpoint

This setting determines the setpoint used by the unit or cascade
when the BMS voltage is at or below the Voltage at Minimum
setting. This parameter is only active when the BMS type is set
to Setpoint. The temperature range for this parameter is 32°F
(0°C) - 230°F (110°C) (boilers), or 32°F (0°C) to 190°F (87°C)
(water heaters). The default value is 70°F (21°C).

(0°C) - 230°F (110°C) (boilers) or 32°F (0°C) to 190°F (87°C)
(water heaters). The default value is 190°F (88°C) for water
heaters and 220°F (104°C) for boilers.

Voltage to start CFH

When the Enable input is set to Inactive, this parameter
determines the BMS input voltage at which the unit or cascade
is enabled. When the unit is disabled, the unit will become
enabled when the BMS input voltage rises up to or above this
value. The range for this parameter is (Voltage Differential CFH
parameter + 0.1V) - 10V. The default value is 2V.

Voltage differential stop CFH

When the Enable input is set to Inactive, this parameter
determines the BMS input voltage at which the unit or cascade
is disabled. When the unit is enabled, the unit will become
disabled when the BMS input voltage drops down to or
below the enable voltage minus this value. The range for this
parameter is 0V - (Voltage to Start CFH parameter - 0.1V). The

default value is 1V.

Circulation pumps

System pump delay (boiler only)

The system pump delay parameter sets the length of time the
system pump (if connected) will run after a SH demand has
been satisfied or outdoor air shutdown begins. The time range
for this parameter is 1 minute to 40 minutes. The default time
is 30 seconds.

SH pump delay (boiler only)

The SH pump delay parameter sets the length of time the boiler
pump will run after a SH demand has been satisfied. The time
range for this parameter is 1 minute to 40 minutes. The default

 WARNING

26

Venting system must be sealed gastight
to prevent flue gas spillage and carbon
monoxide emissions, which will result in
severe personal injury or death.

1. Verify all system components are correctly installed and
operational.

2. Check the cold fill pressure for the system. Verify it is
correct (must be a minimum of 12 PSI).

3. Watch the system pressure as the boiler heats up (during
testing) to ensure pressure does not rise too high.
Excessive pressure rise indicates expansion tank sizing or
performance problem.

4. Inspect automatic air vents and air separators. Remove
air vent caps and briefly press push valve to flush vent.
Replace caps. Make sure vents do not leak. Replace any
leaking vents.

Check expansion tank (if provided)

1. Expansion tanks provide space for water to move in
and out as the heating system water expands due to
temperature increase or contracts as the water cools.
Tanks may be open, closed, diaphragm or bladder type.
See the Water Connections Section of the Installation and
Operation Manual for suggested best location of expansion
tanks and air eliminators.

Check relief valve

1. Inspect the relief valve and lift the lever to verify flow.
Before operating any relief valve, ensure that it is piped with
its discharge in a safe area to avoid severe scald potential.
Read the Water Connections Section of the Installation and
Operation Manual before proceeding further.

 WARNING

 WARNING

2. After following the above warning directions, if the relief
valve weeps or will not seat properly, replace the relief valve.
Ensure that the reason for relief valve weeping is the valve
and not over-pressurization of the system due to expansion
tank waterlogging or undersizing.

Safety relief valves should be re-inspected
AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS,
by a licensed plumbing contractor or
authorized inspection agency, to ensure
that the product has not been affected by
corrosive water conditions and to ensure
that the valve and discharge line have not
been altered or tampered with illegally.
Certain naturally occurring conditions may
corrode the valve or its components over
time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such
conditions are not detectable unless the
valve and its components are physically
removed and inspected. This inspection
must only be conducted by a plumbing
contractor or authorized inspection agency
– not by the owner. Failure to re-inspect the
boiler relief valve as directed could result in
unsafe pressure buildup, which can result in
severe personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.

Following installation, the valve lever must
be operated AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR to
ensure that waterways are clear. Certain
naturally occurring mineral deposits may
adhere to the valve, rendering it inoperative.
When manually operating the lever, water
will discharge and precautions must be taken
to avoid contact with hot water and to avoid
water damage. Before operating lever, check
to see that a discharge line is connected to
this valve directing the flow of hot water
from the valve to a proper place of disposal.
Otherwise severe personal injury may result.
If no water flows, valve is inoperative. Shut
down the appliance until a new relief valve
has been installed.

Check all wiring

1. Inspect all wiring, making sure wires are in good condition
and securely attached.

Check control settings

1. Set the SMART SYSTEM control module display to
Parameter Mode and check all settings. See Section 1 of this
manual. Adjust settings if necessary. See Section 1 of this
manual for adjustment procedures.

2. Check settings of external limit controls (if any) and adjust
if necessary.

Perform start-up and checks

1. Start appliance and perform checks and tests specified in
Start-up Section of the Installation and Operation Manual.

2. Verify cold fill pressure is correct and that operating
pressure does not go too high.

Check burner flame

Visually check main burner flames at each start-up after long
shutdown periods or at least every six months. The burner
viewports are located on either end of the appliance.

 WARNING

Figure 2-1_Flame Pattern Illustration

NORMAL

YELLOW FLAME

Normal Flame: A normal flame at 100% of burner input is
blue, with slight yellow tips, a well defined flame and no flame
lifting.

Yellow Tip: Yellow tipping can be caused by blockage or partial
obstruction of air flow to the burner.

The area around the burner viewport is hot
and direct contact could result in burns.

YELLOW TIP

FLAME LIFT

Check flue gas passageways

Any sign of soot around the refractory, at the burners, or in the
areas between the fins on the copper heat exchanger indicates a
need for cleaning. The following cleaning procedure must only
be performed by a qualified serviceman or installer. Proper
service is required to maintain safe operation. Properly installed
and adjusted units seldom need flue cleaning.

NOTICE

 CAUTION

All gaskets/sealants on disassembled
components or jacket panels must be replaced
with new gaskets/sealants on reassembly.
Gasket and sealant kits are available from
your distributor.

When a Category IV vent system is
disconnected for any reason, the flue must
be reassembled and resealed according to the
vent manufacturer’s instructions.

Inspect and clean burner

The burner should be removed for inspection and cleaned
on an annual basis. An appliance installed in a dust or dirt
contaminated environment may require cleaning of the burner
on a 3 to 6 month schedule or more often, based on severity of
the contamination. The fan assisted combustion process may
force airborne dust and dirt contaminants, contained in the
combustion air, into the burner. With sustained operation,
non-combustible contaminants may reduce burner port area,
reduce burner input or cause non-warrantable damage to the
burners.

Use extreme care when operating an appliance for temporary
heat during new construction. Airborne contaminants such
as dust, dirt, concrete dust or drywall dust can be drawn into
the burner with the combustion air and block the burner port
area. An external combustion air filter is provided with the
appliance. This filter helps ensure clean air is used for the
combustion process. Check this filter every month and replace
when it becomes dirty. The burner of an appliance used for
temporary heat without a combustion air filter installed will
probably require a thorough cleaning before the unit is placed
into normal service.

Yellow Flames: Yellow flames can be caused by blockage of
primary air flow to the burner or excessive gas input. This
condition MUST be corrected immediately.

Lifting Flames: Lifting flames can be caused by over firing the
burner, excessive primary air or high draft.

If improper flame is observed, examine the venting system,
ensure proper gas supply and adequate supply of combustion
and ventilation air.

Adjusting combustion air pressure

The following is a recommended method for setting the
combustion air pressure. The following pressure settings are
for installations up to 4000 feet altitude. Contact the factory for
high altitude air pressure settings.

Upon removal of the upper front doors, locate the capped tee
in the pressure tubing that connects between the inner top and
the gas valves. Remove this cap and connect a hose from the tee
to a manometer.

For 399,999 - 750,000 Btu/hr models (reference FIG. 2-2)

1. The combustion air chamber pressure for these models is
typically 1.2 - 1.3 inches water column when the fan is at
high speed.

2. If adjustment is necessary, slightly loosen the nuts
connecting the fan to the inner top.

3. Adjust the air shutter located underneath the fan assembly
to obtain the desired chamber pressure. Slide the shutter
inward to decrease the chamber pressure or outward to
increase the chamber pressure.

For 990,000 - 2,070,000 Btu/hr models (reference
FIG. 2-3)

1. The combustion air chamber pressure for these models is
typically 1.2 - 1.3 inches water column when the fan is at
high speed.

2. If adjustment is necessary, slightly loosen the nut
located on the air shutter arm.

3. Adjust the air shutter arm to obtain the desired chamber
pressure. Slide the arm inward to decrease the chamber
pressure or outward to increase the chamber pressure.

All models

4. Once the adjustment procedure is complete, tighten all
connections, disconnect the manometer, and replace the
cap at the tee.

5. Check all connections and test fire the unit.

6. Replace all panels.

Checking manifold gas pressure

The gas regulator on the combination gas valve is adjustable to
supply the proper manifold pressure for normal operation. The
gas valves are factory pre-set and should not need adjusting in
most cases. Gas manifold pressures are listed in Table 2B.

Checking manifold gas pressure

1. Turn the appliance power switch to the “OFF” position.

2. Remove the upper outer access panels.

3. Remove the 1/8" hex plug from the downstream side of
the gas valve (see FIG. 2-4). Install a fitting in the tap
and connect a hose from the tap to a manometer.

4. Connect a hose from the tee used to measure the
combustion air pressure to the other side of the
manometer.

5. Turn the appliance power switch to the “ON” position.

6. With the unit at high fire, check and record the
manifold pressure of the valve. The manifold pressure
will be the sum of the two pressure readings (reference
Table 2B).

7. Repeat this process with each gas valve.

 WARNING

If you must adjust the gas valve regulator pressure,
follow the steps below:

1. Remove the cap covering the manifold pressure
adjustment screw (see FIG. 2-4). Note: Once the cap
is removed, the pressure shown on the manometer will
change and the unit may turn off.

2. Make a slight adjustment to the manifold pressure
adjustment screw. Turning the screw clockwise
increases manifold pressure and counterclockwise
decreases manifold pressure.

3. Replace the cap and check the manifold pressure.
Note: Allow the unit to re-light if necessary.

4. Repeat the steps above to match the manifold pressures
from Table 2B.

5. Once the adjustment procedure is complete, turn off
