The Copper-fin II - How it works...
Installation & Operation Manual
1. Heat exchanger
The heat exchanger allows system water to flow through specially designed tubes for maximum heat transfer. The glass lined headers and copper fined tubing are encased in a jacket that contains the combustion process.
2. Heat exchanger access cover
The heat exchanger access cover is a galvanized steel door which allows access for service, maintenance, and removal of the heat exchanger from inside the combustion chamber.
3. Blower
The blower pulls in and injects air into the individual burners along with gas from the gas manifold where the mix is burned inside the combustion chamber.
4. Gas valve
The gas valves (reference) have a dual purpose; changing the gas supply pressure to manifold pressure, and the reference side of the gas valve is designed to allow chamber pressure to change the volume of gas through the valve and measured as net manifold pressure. This is not a design to compensate for gas supply pressure issues.
5. System / tank temperature sensor (not shown)
When connected, this sensor can be used as a system sensor or a tank sensor.
6. Outlet/limit temperature sensor
This sensor monitors the outlet water temperature. If selected as the controlling sensor and a system supply sensor is not connected, the appliance will maintain set point by adjusting the firing rate of the unit according to this sensor.
7. Inlet temperature sensor
This sensor monitors inlet water temperature. If selected as the controlling sensor and a system return sensor is not connected, the appliance will maintain set point by adjusting the firing rate of the unit according to this sensor.
8. Temperature and pressure gauge (boilers only)
The temperature and pressure gauge monitors the outlet temperature of the appliance as well as the system water pressure.
9. Electronic display
The electronic display consists of 6 buttons and a two-line 16-character liquid crystal display used to monitor the operation of the heater as well as enter and view the programming of the main control board.
10. Burner
The burner is a ported stainless steel construction which uses a gas air mix to operate at a fixed input. Banks of burners turn on or off to vary the firing rate.
11. Water outlet (system supply)
The water outlet is a 2 or 2 1/2" (depending on model) pipe connection that supplies water to the system with connections for a flow switch (see #26), a relief valve (see #23), and a temperature and pressure gauge (boilers only) (see #8).
12. Water inlet (system return)
The water inlet is a 2 or 2 1/2" (depending on model) pipe connection that receives water from the system and delivers it to the heat exchanger.
13. Gas supply pipe
The gas supply pipe on this appliance is 1 1/4 or 2" (depending on model) diameter NPT. Please reference the National Fuel Gas Code charts for connection details.
14. SMART SYSTEM Control Module
The SMART System Control Module is the main control for the appliance. This module contains the programming that operates the blower, gas valve, and pumps in addition to other programmable features.
15. Air intake
Fresh air for combustion is drawn through a filter provided at the air intake, located at either the rear or right side of the appliance.
16. Line voltage terminal strip
The line voltage terminal strip provides a location to connect all of the line voltage (120 VAC) contact points to the unit.
17. Low voltage connection board(s)
The low voltage connection board provides a location to connect all of the low voltage devices to the appliance. This is where most of the external safety controls are connected.
18. Front doors - upper and lower
The front doors provide access to the gas train as well as the blower, burners and other key components for service and maintenance.
19. Hot surface igniter (HSI)
The hot surface igniter is a device that is used to ignite the air/gas mixture as well as monitor the performance of the flame during operation. This device acts as a flame sense electrode.
20. Flame inspection window (sight glass)
The flame inspection windows, located on either side of the appliance, allow for visual inspection of the burners and flame during operation.
21. Gas shut off valve (downstream test cock) (boiler only)
The downstream test cock is provided in the gas train to ensure complete shut off of the gas to the burner in case of
maintenance, inspection, or testing of the valve.
22. Manual reset high limit sensor
This device monitors the outlet water temperature to ensure safe operation. If the temperature exceeds its setting (field adjustable), it will break the control circuit, shutting the appliance down. Manual reset is performed through the display.
23. Relief valve
The relief valve is a safety device that ensures the maximum pressure of the appliance is not exceeded. Boilers operate on pressure only and are shipped from the factory at a rating of 50 PSI. Water heaters operate on temperature and pressure and are shipped standard as 150 PSI and 210°F (98.9°C).
24. Power switch
The power switch is used to engage and disengage power to the appliance on the 120 VAC circuit.
25. Air pressure switch
The air pressure switch is a safety device which ensures proper blower operation. The air pressure switch is wired in series with the low voltage control circuit in such a way that if the fan does not engage or shuts down prematurely the device will break the control circuit and the unit will shut down.
26. Flow switch
The flow switch is a safety device that ensures flow through the heat exchanger during operation. This appliance is low mass and should never be operated without flow. The flow switch makes contact when flow is detected and allows the unit to operate. If flow is discontinued during operation for any reason the flow switch will break the control circuit and the unit will shut down.
27. Drain port(s)
The drain ports are located underneath the front header.
28. Manual shutoff valve (not shown)
Manual valve used to isolate the unit from the gas supply.

CAUTION
The combustion air supply must be completely free of any flammable vapors that may ignite or chemical fumes which may be corrosive to the appliance. Common corrosive chemical fumes which must be avoided are fluorocarbons and other halogenated compounds, most commonly present as refrigerants or solvents, such as Freon, trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine, etc. These chemicals, when burned, form acids which quickly attack the heat exchanger finned tubes, headers, flue collectors, and the vent system. The result is improper combustion and a non­warrantable, premature unit failure.

Installation & Operation Manual
Exhaust fans
Any fan or equipment which exhausts air from the boiler room may deplete the combustion air supply and/or cause a down draft in the venting system. Spillage of flue products from the venting system into an occupied living space can cause a very hazardous condition that must be immediately corrected. If a fan is used to supply combustion air to the boiler room, the installer must make sure that it does not cause drafts which could lead to nuisance operational problems with the boiler.
Vertical DirectAire™, Horizontal DirectAire™, and Direct Vent venting systems have specific requirements for combustion air ducts from the outside which are directly connected to the unit. See the requirements for combustion air duct in the venting section.
NOTICE
Use of filters having MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) ratings higher than
4 is not recommended. Higher efficiency low-micron filters can limit combustion air leading to either nuisance problems or potential component damage if used over prolonged periods of time. Filters having a MERV rating of 5 to 6 may be used on a limited basis during the construction phase of a project provided they are replaced once filter loading becomes apparent. After the construction phase is completed, it is recommended that the filter be changed to a 4 or lower MERV disposable type filter.
Combustion air filter
This unit has a standard air filter located at the combustion air inlet. This filter helps ensure clean air is used for the combustion process. Check this filter every month and replace when it becomes dirty. The filter size on Models 402 - 752 is 12" x 12" x 1" (30.5cm x 30.5cm x 2.5cm) and 16" x 16" x 1" (40.6cm x
40.6cm x 2.5 cm) on Models 992 - 2072. You can find these commercially available filters at any home center or HVAC supply store.
For convenience and flexibility, you can direct the combustion air inlet from either the back or right side of the unit. To arrange the combustion air inlet for side entry, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the metal panel from the unit’s side wall (see FIG. 1-6).
2. Remove screws from the air filter/bracket assembly.
3. Move the filter/bracket assembly from the rear of unit to the side opening (see FIG. 1-7).
4. Attach filter/bracket assembly to the unit’s side using the pre-drilled screw holes.
5. Attach the metal panel to the rear combustion air opening to seal it off.
Figure 1-6_Metal Panel Covering Side Combustion Air Inlet
NOTICE
CAUTION
During construction the air filter should be checked more frequently to ensure it does not become clogged with combustion dirt and debris.
Sustained operation of an appliance with a clogged filter may result in nuisance operational problems, bad combustion, and non-warrantable component failures.

General information
You must supply adequate combustion and ventilation air to this unit. You must provide minimum clearances for the vent terminal from adjacent buildings, windows that open, and building openings. Follow all requirements set forth in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CAN/CGA Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment or applicable local building codes. Vent installations for connection to gas vents or chimneys must be in accordance with “Venting of Equipment” of the above-mentioned standards.
NOTICE
Examine the venting system at least once each year. Check all joints and vent pipe connections for tightness. Also check for corrosion or deterioration. If you find any problems, correct them at once.
Venting support
Support horizontal portions of the venting system to prevent sagging. Provide an upward slope of at least 1/4 inch per foot (21mm/m) on all horizontal runs from the unit to the vertical flue run or to the vent terminal on sidewall venting installations.
Do not use an existing chimney as a raceway if another appliance or fireplace is vented through the chimney. The weight of the venting system must not rest on the unit. Provide adequate support of the venting system. Follow all local and applicable codes. Secure and seal all vent connections. Follow the installation instructions from the vent material manufacturer.
Barometric damper location
Any venting system option that requires a barometric damper must adhere to the following directions for optimum performance. The preferred location for the barometric damper is in a tee or collar installed in the vertical pipe rising from the unit’s flue outlet. The barometric damper MUST NOT be installed in a bull head tee installed on the unit’s flue outlet. The tee or collar containing the barometric damper should be approximately three feet vertically above the connection to the unit’s flue outlet. This location ensures that any positive velocity pressure from the unit’s internal combustion fan is dissipated and the flue products are rising due to buoyancy generated from the temperature of the flue products. Adjust the weights on the damper to ensure that draft is maintained within the specified range.

A
NOTICE
This option uses Type-B double-wall flue outlet piping. The blower brings in combustion air. The buoyancy of the heated flue products cause them to rise up through the flue pipe. The flue outlet terminates at the rooftop.
Negative draft
The negative draft in a conventional vent installation must be within the range of 0.02 to 0.08 inches w.c. to ensure proper operation. Make all draft readings while the unit is in stable operation (approximately 2 to 5 minutes).
Connect the flue vent directly to the flue outlet opening on the top of the unit. No additional draft diverter or barometric damper is needed on single unit installations with a dedicated stack and a negative draft within the specified range of 0.02 to 0.08 inches w.c. If the draft in a dedicated stack for a single unit installation exceeds the maximum specified draft, you must install a barometric damper to control draft. Multiple unit installations with combined venting or common venting with other Category I negative draft appliances require each boiler to have a barometric damper installed to regulate draft within the proper range.
Do not connect vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft (negative draft) to any portion of a mechanical draft system operating under positive pressure. Connecting to a positive pressure stack may cause flue products to be discharged into the living space causing serious health injury.
Installation & Operation Manual
Before installing a venting system, follow requirements found in the General Venting section.
Flue outlet piping
With this venting option, you must use Type-B double-wall vent materials. Vent materials must be listed by a nationally-recognized test agency for use as vent materials. Make the connections from the unit vent to the outside stack as direct as possible with no reduction in diameter. Use the National Fuel Gas Code venting tables for double­wall vent to properly size all vent connectors and stacks. Follow the vent manufacturer’s instructions when installing Type-B vents and accessories, such as firestop spacers, vent connectors, thimbles, caps, etc.
Provide adequate clearance to combustibles for the vent connector and firestop.
When planning the venting system, avoid possible contact with plumbing or electrical wiring inside walls, ceilings, and floors. Locate the unit as close as possible to a chimney or gas vent.
Avoid long horizontal runs of the vent pipe, 90° elbows, reductions and restrictions.
No additional draft diverter or barometric damper is required on single unit installations with a dedicated stack and a negative draft maintained between 0.02 to 0.08 inches w.c.
Common Venting Systems
You can combine the flue with the vent from any other negative draft, Category I appliance. Using common venting for multiple negative draft appliances requires you to install a barometric damper with each unit. This will regulate draft within the proper range. You must size the common vent and connectors from multiple units per the venting tables for Type-B double-wall vents in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/ CGA-B149 Installation Code.
16
Common venting systems may be too large when an existing unit is removed.
At the time of removal of an existing appliance, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.
1. Seal any unused opening in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch. Make sure there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other unsafe conditions.
3. If possible, close all building doors and windows. Close all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other building spaces.
Page 17

2 Venting (continued)
4. Turn on clothes dryers and any other appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
5. Close fireplace dampers.
6. Place in operation the unit being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so unit will operate continuously.
7. Test for spillage at the draft hood/relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
8. After making sure that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and other gas burning appliances to their previous conditions of use.
9. Correct any improper operation of the common venting system so that the installation conforms to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, resize to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.
Masonry chimney installations
A masonry chimney must be properly sized for the installation of a high efficiency gas-fired appliance. Venting of a high efficiency appliance into a cold or oversized masonry chimney can result in operational and safety problems. Exterior masonry chimneys, with one or more sides exposed to cold outdoor temperatures, are more likely to have venting problems. The temperature of the flue products from a high efficiency appliance may not be able to sufficiently heat the masonry structure of the chimney to generate proper draft. This will result in condensing of flue products, damage to the masonry flue/tile, insufficient draft and possible spillage of flue products into an occupied living space. Carefully inspect all chimney systems before installation.
WARNING
NOTICE
Inspection of a masonry chimney
A masonry chimney must be carefully inspected to determine its suitability for the venting of flue products. A clay-tile-lined chimney must be structurally sound, straight and free of misaligned tile, gaps between liner sections, missing sections of liner or any signs of condensate drainage at the breaching or clean out. If there is any doubt about the condition of a masonry chimney, it must be relined with a properly-sized and approved chimney liner system. An unlined masonry chimney must not be used to vent flue products from this high-efficiency unit. An unlined chimney must be relined with an approved chimney liner system when a new appliance is being attached to it. Metallic liner systems (Type-B double-wall or flexible or rigid metallic liners) are recommended. Consult with local code officials to determine code requirements or the advisability of using or relining a masonry chimney.
Do not vent this unit into a masonry chimney without a sealed stainless steel liner system. Any breaks, leaks, or damage to the masonry flue/tile will allow the flue products to leak from the chimney and into occupied living spaces. This could cause serious injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning and other harmful flue products.
Check with local code officials to determine code requirements or the advisability of using a masonry chimney with a sealed corrosion-resistant liner system.
Vertical vent termination clearances and location
The vent terminal should be vertical and exhaust outside the building at least 2 feet (0.61m) above the highest point of the roof within a 10 foot (3.05m) radius of the termination.
The vertical termination must be a minimum of 3 feet (0.91m) above the point of exit.
A vertical termination less than 10 feet (3.05m) from a parapet wall must be a minimum of 2 feet (0.61m) higher than the parapet wall.
Keep the vent cap clear of snow, ice, leaves, and debris to avoid blocking the flue.

Combustion air inlet piping
The Vertical DirectAire™ vent system is the same as the Conventional Negative Draft vent system, except it pulls combustion air from the outdoors through a separate air inlet pipe. Follow all requirements in the Conventional Negative Draft Venting section on page 16.
The Vertical DirectAire™ vent system requires you to install two pipes directly to the unit; one vertical pipe with a rooftop termination for the flue products and one pipe for combustion air. For this venting option, you must purchase the DV box adapter from the appliance manufacturer. The DV box attaches to the air inlet of the unit. The pipe for combustion air attaches to the DV box (see FIG. 2-11 on page 28). Reference page 28 for a list of approved air intake materials.
Before installing a venting system, follow requirements found in the General Venting section.
Installation & Operation Manual
WARNING
The sidewall or vertical rooftop DirectAire™ combustion air supply system has specific material and installation requirements. The air inlet pipe connects directly to the unit to supply combustion air. In most installations, the combustion air inlet pipe will be a dedicated system with one air inlet pipe per unit. You can combine multiple air inlets if the guidelines in Combined Air Inlet Points, page 20 are followed. The air inlet pipe will be connected to a combustion air inlet cap as specified in this section.
For normal installations, this system uses a single-wall pipe to supply combustion air from outdoors directly to the unit.
In cold climates, use a Type-B double-wall vent pipe or an insulated single-wall pipe for combustion air. This will help prevent moisture in the cool incoming air from condensing and leaking from the inlet pipe.
Length of air inlet pipe
The installed length of air inlet pipe from the unit to the outside air inlet cap must not exceed 50 equivalent feet (15.2m). Subtract 5 feet (1.5m) of equivalent length for each 90° elbow. Subtract 2.5 feet (0.7m) of equivalent length for each 45° elbow.
Do not exceed the limits for the combustion air inlet piping lengths.
Sidewall air inlet
The sidewall air inlet cap is supplied in the Sidewall Air Inlet Kit. Order the kit from the appliance manufacturer. This sidewall cap supplies combustion air for a single unit only. See Table 2B, page 21, for kit numbers.
Locate the unit as close as possible to the sidewall where you will install the combustion air supply system.
Locate and install the combustion air inlet cap correctly. Failure to do so can allow the discharge of flue products to be drawn into the combustion process. This can result in incomplete combustion and potentially hazardous levels of carbon monoxide in the flue products. This will cause operational problems and the spillage of flue products. Spillage of flue products can cause personal injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

To prevent recirculation of flue products from an adjacent vent cap into the combustion air inlet, follow all applicable clearance requirements in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code and/or CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code and instructions in the Installation and Operation Manual.
Clearances
You must install the combustion air inlet cap at least one foot (0.30m) above ground level and above normal snow levels.
The point of termination for the combustion air inlet cap must be at least 3 feet (0.91m) below the point of flue gas termination if it is located within 10 feet (3.05m) of the flue outlet. Make sure to properly install the air inlet cap assembly on the air inlet pipe.
Do not install the combustion air inlet cap closer than 10 feet (3.05m) from an inside corner of an L-shaped structure.
Vertical Rooftop Air Inlet
Use the vertical air inlet terminations available from the appliance manufacturer, recommended and/or supplied by the vent manufacturer, or use two 90° elbows as described on page 29.
3' MIN
12" MIN
You must locate the air inlet termination elbow at least 12" (30cm) above the roof or above normal snow levels.
If the air inlet cap is within a 10-foot (3.05m) radius of the flue outlet, the point of termination for the combustion air inlet cap must be at least 3 feet (0.91m) below the point of flue gas termination (vent cap).
Do not install the combustion air inlet cap closer than 10 feet (3.05m) from an inside corner of an L-shaped structure.
Combined air inlet points
The air inlet pipes from multiple boilers can be combined to a single common connection if the common air inlet pipe has a cross sectional area equal to or larger than the total area of all air inlet pipes connected to the common air inlet pipe.
Example: Two 10" air inlet pipes (78.5 in2 area each) have a total
Figure 2-7_Rooftop Combustion Air Inlet
The air inlet point for multiple boiler air inlets must be provided with an exterior opening which has a free area equal to or greater than the total area of all air inlet pipes connected to the common air inlet. This exterior opening for combustion air must connect directly to the outdoors. The total length of the combined air inlet pipe must not exceed a maximum of 50 (15.2m) equivalent feet. Subtract 5 feet (1.5m) for each 90° elbow in the air inlet pipe. You must deduct the restriction in area provided by any screens, grills or louvers installed in the common air inlet point. These are common on the sidewall air inlet openings. Screens, grills or louvers installed in the common air inlet can reduce the free area of the opening from 25% to 75% based on the materials used.

NOTICE
This option uses a powered vent assembly which pulls the flue products out of the stack. This fan generates a negative draft at the unit. Combustion air is drawn from the equipment room (see Combustion and Ventilation Air on 10).
Sidewall with fan
The sidewall fan can be mounted on the inside/outside (depending upon model) with a sidewall vent hood installed on the exterior wall. The sidewall fan and accessories are included in a venting kit provided by the appliance manufacturer. See Table 2C on page 24 for kit numbers.
The venting kit includes the sidewall fan, vent hood, tapered vent adapter, barometric damper (992 - 2072 Models), proving switch and all necessary relays to interlock with the heaters control system. The tapered vent adapter reduces the vent size at the inlet to the fan. There should be no reduction in vent diameter from the unit’s flue outlet to the sidewall fan. The barometric damper must be installed on the flue and adjusted to supply a negative draft within the range of 0.04 to 0.08 inches w.c. while unit is operating.
Flue outlet piping
With this venting option, you must use Type-B double-wall (or equivalent) vent materials. Vent materials must be listed by a nationally-recognized test agency for use as vent materials. Make the connections from the unit vent to the sidewall fan/cap as direct as possible with no reduction in diameter. Use the National Fuel Gas Code venting tables for double-wall vent to properly size all vent connectors and stacks. Follow the vent manufacturer’s instructions when installing Type-B vents and accessories, such as firestop spacers, vent connectors, thimbles, caps, etc.
When planning the venting system, avoid possible contact with plumbing or electrical wiring inside walls.
Before installing a venting system, follow all requirements found in the General Venting section.
The maximum installed length of sidewall vent pipe with an induced draft fan must not exceed 100 feet (30.5m). Subtract 5 feet (1.5m) for each 90° elbow. Subtract 2.5 feet (0.7m) for each 45° elbow.

Masonry chimney installation
Do not use a standard masonry chimney to directly vent the combustion products from this unit.
To use a masonry chimney, the chimney must use a sealed, corrosion-resistant liner system. Sealed, corrosion-resistant liner systems (single-wall, double-wall, flexible, or rigid) must be rated for use with a high efficiency, positive pressure vent system.
Corrosion-resistant chimney liner systems are typically made from a high grade stainless steel such as AL29-4C. The liner must be properly sized and fully sealed throughout the entire length. Both the top and bottom of the masonry chimney must be capped and sealed to provide a dead air space around the liner.
WARNING
NOTICE
Do not vent this unit into a masonry chimney without a sealed stainless steel liner system. Any breaks, leaks, or damage to the masonry flue/tile will allow the positive-pressure flue products to leak from the chimney and into occupied living spaces. This could cause serious injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning and other harmful flue products.
Check with local code officials to determine code requirements or the advisability of using a masonry chimney with a sealed corrosion-resistant liner system.
Horizontal DV venting termination
Horizontal venting uses the unit’s internal combustion air blower to force the flue products out of the horizontally-terminated flue.
You must purchase a horizontal direct vent kit from the appliance manufacturer to ensure proper operation. When installing the vent cap, the wall opening must provide an air space clearance of 2 inches (5.1cm) around the flue pipe. The diameter of the opening for installation of the sidewall cap will be 4 inches (10.2cm) larger (minimum) than the nominal diameter of the installed vent pipe to the horizontal vent cap.
Install the horizontal vent cap from the outside. Mount the vent cap to the wall using four screws or wall anchors. Seal under the screw heads with caulking. Install the Category IV vent pipe from the unit to the vent cap. See detailed instructions packed with the horizontal direct vent kit.

NOTICE
WARNING
You must locate the combustion air cap and the flue gas outlet on the same rooftop surface (vertical direct vent system) or sidewall surface (horizontal direct vent system) and in the same pressure zone as the vent termination. Follow all clearance requirements listed on this page.
Purchase and assemble the combustion air inlet cap to protect the air inlet from wind and weather.
Alternatively, assemble the combustion air inlet cap for vertical rooftop air inlet from items purchased locally. The air inlet cap consists of two 90° elbows installed to the air inlet pipe (see FIG. 2-13). Install the first 90° elbow on the rooftop at the highest vertical point of the air inlet pipe. Install the second 90° elbow on the horizontal outlet of the first elbow. The outlet of the second 90° elbow will be pointing down. You may use a 90° elbow and a 90° straight elbow to make this assembly. If you use a straight piece of pipe between the two 90° elbows, it should not exceed 6" (51mm) in length.
Figure 2-13_Vertical Rooftop Air Inlet
Horizontal combustion air inlet clearances
You must locate the horizontal air inlet termination point at least 12" (30cm) above grade and above normal snow levels.
If the air inlet cap is within a 10-foot (3.05m) radius of the flue outlet, the point of termination for the combustion air inlet cap must be at least 3 feet (0.91m) below the point of flue gas termination (vent cap). Do not install the horizontal combustion air inlet cap above the flue outlet.
Do not install the combustion air inlet cap closer than 10 feet (3.05m) from an inside corner of an L-shaped structure.
Multiple sidewall direct vent installations
You must locate the horizontal air inlet termination points at least 12" (30cm) above grade and above normal snow levels. The combustion air inlet caps for multiple appliance installations must maintain the same minimum clearance from the closest flue vent cap as specified in single appliance installations. You may install multiple flue outlet caps side-by-side and multiple combustion air inlet caps side-by-side, but the air inlet must always be at least 3 feet (0.91m) horizontally and 3 feet (0.91m) below the closest flue outlet. Do not install combustion air inlet caps above the flue outlets.
Maintain all clearances and installation requirements for multiple appliance installations.
To prevent recirculation of flue products into the combustion air inlet, follow all instructions in this section.
Locate and install the combustion air inlet termination correctly. Failure to do so can allow the discharge of flue products to be drawn into the combustion process. This can result in incomplete combustion and potentially hazardous levels of carbon monoxide in the flue products. This will cause operational problems and the spillage of flue products. Spillage of flue products can cause personal injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
6" MAX
For horizontal direct vent termination of combustion air, you must use the termination cap from the appliance manufacturer. The sidewall air inlet cap is available as part of a direct vent kit. See Table 2E, page 27 for Horizontal Direct Vent Kits.
Vertical Combustion Air Inlet Clearances
You must locate the air inlet termination elbow at least 12" (30cm) above the roof or above normal snow levels.
If the air inlet cap is within a 10-foot (3.05m) radius of the flue outlet, the point of termination for the combustion air inlet cap must be at least 3 feet (0.91m) below the point of flue gas termination (vent cap).

NOTICE
Before installing a venting system, follow all requirements found in the General Venting section.
Units are self-venting and can be used outdoors when installed with the optional outdoor cap. This cap mounts directly to the top of the unit and covers the flue outlet and combustion air inlet openings. No additional vent piping is required.
WARNING
Only install outdoor models outdoors and only use the vent cap supplied by the appliance manufacturer. Personal injury or product damage may result if any other cap is used or if an outdoor model is used indoors. Properly install all covers, doors and jacket panels to ensure proper operation and prevent a hazardous condition.
Combustion air supply must be free of contaminants (see Combustion and Ventilation Air, page 10). To prevent recirculation of the flue products into the combustion air inlet, follow all instructions in this section.
Outdoor vent/air inlet location
Keep venting areas free of obstructions. Keep area clean and free of combustible and flammable materials. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3" (76mm) to combustible surfaces and a minimum of 36" (915mm) clearance to the air inlet. To avoid a blocked air inlet or blocked flue condition, keep the outdoor cap air inlet, flue outlet and drain slot clear of snow, ice, leaves, debris, etc.
Do not install outdoor models directly on the ground. You must install the outdoor unit on a concrete, brick, block, or other non­combustible pad.
Do not locate unit so that high winds can deflect off of adjacent walls, buildings or shrubbery causing recirculation. Recirculation of flue products may cause operational problems, bad combustion or damage to controls. Locate unit at least 3 feet (0.91m) from any wall or vertical surface to prevent wind conditions from affecting performance.
Multiple unit outdoor installations require 48" (1.22m) clearance between each vent cap. Locate outdoor cap at least 48" (1.22m) below and 48" (1.22m) horizontally from any window, door, walkway or gravity air intake.
Locate unit at least 10 feet (3.05m) away from any forced air inlet.

Combination gas valves
These units fire in multiple stages of burner input. Each stage of burner operation has a combination gas valve(s) to cycle the gas supply on and off and regulate gas to the burners. Each combination valve consists of a gas regulator and two valve seats to meet the requirements for redundant gas valves. The valve has a gas control knob that must remain in the open position at all times when the unit is in service. The gas control valve has pressure taps located on the inlet and discharge sides of the valve. Manifold pressure is adjusted using the regulator located on the valve. A manifold gas pressure tap for each burner stick is located on the discharge side of the valve.

The manifold pressure is preset at the factory and adjustment is not usually required. If you must adjust regulator pressure, follow the instructions in the Copper-fin II Service Manual.
Venting of combination gas valves
The combination gas valve/regulator used on all units is equipped with an integral vent limiting orifice per ANSI Z21.78. The vent limiter ensures that the volume of gas emitted from the valve in the event of a failed gas diaphragm does not exceed the maximum safe leakage rate allowed by agency requirements.
Page 33
3 Gas connections (continued)
Combination gas valve/regulators equipped with integral vent limiters are not required to have vent or relief lines piped to the outdoors. The termination of the vent limited opening on the combination gas valve/regulator complies with the safety code requirements of CSD-1, CF-190(a) as shipped from the appliance manufacturer without the installation of additional vent lines.
Checking gas supply pressure
Use the following procedure to check gas supply pressure.
1. Turn the main power switch to the “OFF” position.
2. Turn gas valve knobs to the “OFF” position.
3. Shut off gas supply at the field-installed manual gas cock in the gas piping to the unit. If fuel supply is L.P. gas, shut off gas supply at the tank.
4. Remove the 1/8" hex plug, located on the “inlet” side of the gas valve. You may also use a tapping on the field-installed main manual gas cock or gas piping. Install a fitting in the inlet pressure tapping suitable to connect to a manometer or magnehelic gauge. Range of scale should be 14" w.c. or greater to check inlet pressure.
5. Turn on gas supply at the manual gas cock, turn on L.P. gas at the tank if required.
6. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position.
7. Turn the gas valve knobs to the “ON” position. Set the electronic temperature control or thermostat to call for heat.
8. Observe the gas supply pressure as all burners are firing. Ensure that inlet pressure is within the specified range. See Connecting To Gas Supply, page 31 for minimum and maximum gas supply pressures.
9. If gas pressure is out of range, contact gas utility, gas supplier, qualified installer or service agency to determine necessary steps to provide proper gas pressure to the control.
10. If gas supply pressure is within normal range, turn the power switch to the “OFF” position.
11. Turn gas valve knobs to the “OFF” position.
12. Shut off gas supply at the manual gas cock in the gas piping to the unit. If fuel supply is L.P. gas, shut off gas supply at the tank.
Installation & Operation Manual
13. Remove the manometer and related fitting from the “inlet” side of the gas valve, replace 1/8" hex plug in gas valve and tighten.
14. Turn on gas supply at the manual valve, turn on L.P. gas at the tank if required.
15. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position.
16. Turn the gas valve knob to the “ON” position.
17. Set the electronic temperature control or thermostat to call for heat.
WARNING
Check burner performance by cycling the system while you observe burner response. Burners should ignite promptly. Flame pattern should be stable, see Burner Flames in the Copper-fin II Service Manual. Turn system off and allow burners to cool, then cycle burners again to ensure proper ignition and flame characteristics.

Initial set-up of maximum water flow
On initial start-up of the Copper-fin II, the maximum water flow to the heat exchanger must be checked and manually limited with a valve or bypass before normal operation begins.
CAUTION
An appliance allowed to operate at return temperatures below the specified minimum setting may experience problems with the operating controls, safety switches, obstruction of the flue gas passages on the heat exchanger, incomplete combustion and possible flue gas spillage. Sustained operation at lower than specified water temperatures (140°F) may cause hazardous conditions that may result in personal injury or non-warrantable damage to the appliance.
Water flow switch
A water flow switch is factory installed in the outlet on all heating boilers and water heaters. The flow switch must prove water flow before a trial for ignition can begin. The flow switch requires a minimum flow of 15 - 18 GPM on Models 402 - 752 and 26 GPM on Models 992 - 2072 to make the flow switch and start burner operation. A water flow switch meets most code requirements for a low water cutoff device on boilers requiring forced circulation for operation. A fault message, Flow Sw/ LWCO will be indicated in the Operator Interface on a low water flow condition as sensed by the flow switch.
Low water cutoff (if equipped)
INSPECTION PLUGS
Figure 4-2_Water Connections - Models 992 - 2072
Heat exchanger
This appliance uses a finned copper tube heat exchanger to maximize the heat transfer process. The heat exchanger is mounted in the inner jacket of the appliance. A series of “V” shaped baffles are installed between the individual tubes to control the movement of the flue products over the finned copper surface and increase heat transfer. Water enters the heat exchanger and makes two passes over the area exposed to direct heat from the burner. A circulating pump MUST be installed to ensure proper water flow over the heat transfer surfaces during burner operation. Water temperatures in the heat exchanger are determined by water flow.
If this boiler is installed above radiation level, a low water cutoff device must be installed at the time of boiler installation. An electronic low water cutoff is available as a factory supplied option on all models. The low water cutoff should be inspected every 6 months. A fault message, Flow Sw/LWCO will be indicated in the Operator Interface on a low water condition as sensed by the low water cutoff.

Installation & Operation Manual
Relief valve
This unit is supplied with a relief valve(s) sized in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV (“Heating Boilers”). The relief valve(s) is installed in the vertical position and mounted in the hot water outlet. No valve is to be placed between the relief valve and the unit. To prevent water damage, the discharge from the relief valve shall be piped to a suitable floor drain for disposal when relief occurs. No reducing couplings or other restrictions shall be installed in the discharge line. The discharge line shall allow complete drainage of the valve and line. Relief valves should be manually operated at least once a year.
CAUTION
Avoid contact with hot discharge water.
Heating boiler installations
Piping of the boiler system
The drawings in this section show typical boiler piping installations, see FIG.’s 4-3 through 4-6. Before beginning the installation, consult local codes for specific plumbing requirements. The installation should provide unions and valves at the inlet and outlet of the boiler so it can be isolated for service. An air separation device must be supplied in the installation piping to eliminate trapped air in the system. Locate a system air vent at the highest point in the system. The system must also have a properly sized expansion tank installed. Typically, an air charged diaphragm-type expansion tank is used. The expansion tank must be installed close to the boiler and on the suction side of the system pump to ensure proper operation.
CAUTION
Hot water piping must be supported by suitable hangers or floor stands, NOT by the boiler. Copper pipe systems will be subject to considerable expansion and contraction. Rigid pipe hangers could allow the pipe to slide in the hanger resulting in noise transmitted into the system. Padding is recommended on rigid hangers installed with a copper system. The boiler pressure relief valve must be piped to a suitable floor drain. See the Relief Valve section on this page.
CAUTION
Water connections (heating boilers only)
Models 402 - 752 have 2" NPT inlet and outlet connections and Models 992 - 2072 have 2 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet connections.
CAUTION
The boiler system should not be operated at less than 12 PSIG.
A leak in a boiler “system” will cause the “system” to intake fresh water constantly, which will cause the tubes to accumulate a lime/scale build up. This will cause a non­warrantable failure.
Field installed reducing bushings must not be used.
Any reduction in pipe size may decrease flow resulting in high water temperatures, boiler noise, flashing to steam, and non­warrantable heat exchanger damage.
The boiler may be installed with a primary/secondary piping system provided to the boiler. It is important to guarantee that adequate flow is provided to properly dissipate heat from the boiler and also ensure that flow through the boiler does not exceed the maximum recommended flow rate of 55 GPM for Models 402 - 752 and 90 GPM for Models 992 - 2072 for a boiler equipped with a copper heat exchanger.
Boiler circulator requirements
This is a low mass, high efficiency hot water boiler which must have adequate flow for quiet, efficient operation. Pump selection is critical to achieve proper operation. A pump should be selected to achieve proper system design water temperature rise. Pipe diameter and length are critical to ensure proper flow through the boiler. A System Temperature Rise Chart (Table 4C on page 38) is provided to assist in proper pump selection. This table provides GPM and boiler head-loss at various temperature rises for each model based on Btu/hr input. Temperature rise is the difference in boiler inlet temperature and boiler outlet temperature while the boiler is firing at full rate.
Example: The boiler inlet temperature is 160°F (71.1°C) and the boiler outlet temperature is 180°F (82.2°C). This means that there is a 20°F (11.1°C) temperature rise across the boiler. The boiler temperature rise is visible in the Operator Interface on the boiler’s front control panel.
Circulator pump specifications
1. Maximum operating pressure for the pump must exceed system operating pressure.
2. Maximum water temperature should not exceed the nameplate rating.
3. Cast iron circulators may be used for closed loop systems.
4. A properly sized expansion tank must be installed near the boiler and on the suction side of the pump.
Circulator pump operation (heating boilers only)
The boiler pump must run when the boiler is firing. Separate supply circuits can be provided or the two circuits (pump and controls) can be combined for connection to one circuit, properly sized for both.
Pump delay operation
A pump delay operation feature is provided. The boiler’s circulating pump will cycle on at each call for heat, before the burner fires. The pump will continue to operate while the burner is firing. The pump will run for a 30 second period after the temperature set point is satisfied. This timing is selectable from the Operator Interface. This timing will remove any of the residual heat from the combustion chamber before turning the pump off. See the wiring diagram in Section 9 of this manual.

Installation & Service Manual
Pump Maintenance: Inspect the pump every six (6) months
and oil as necessary. Use SAE 30 non-detergent oil or lubricant specified by the pump manufacturer.
The boiler is recommended for installation in a primary/ secondary piping system. This type of system uses a separate
boiler circulating pump to supply flow to and from the boiler only. The secondary pump is sized based on the head loss of the boiler and related pipe and fittings in the secondary loop only.
A properly sized primary system pump provides adequate flow to carry the heated boiler water to radiation, air over coils, etc. The fittings that connect the boiler to the primary system should be installed a maximum of 12 inches (0.30m) (or 4 pipe diameters) apart to ensure connection at a point of zero pressure drop in the primary system. There should be a minimum of 10 pipe diameters of straight pipe before and after the boiler secondary loop connections to prevent turbulent flow at the secondary loop connections. The secondary loop piping to and from the boiler must have a fully ported ball valve installed in both the supply and return side piping. The ball valves must be fully ported having the same inside diameter as the installed piping. The ball valve in the piping supplying water to the boiler will only be used as a service valve. The ball valve installed in the discharge from the boiler back to the primary system will be used to adjust boiler flow and temperature rise to ensure proper performance.
The boiler primary piping system must have a circulator installed in the main system loop to carry the heated boiler water to the point of use in the main system.
Multiple boilers may also be installed with a primary/secondary manifold system. Multiple boilers should be connected to the common manifold in reverse return to assist in balancing flow to multiple boilers.
The installer must ensure that the boiler has adequate flow without excessive temperature rise. Low system flow can result in overheating of the boiler water which can cause short burner cycles, system noise, relief valve discharge and in extreme cases, a knocking flash to steam. These conditions indicate the need to increase boiler flow to and from the boiler. This is generally accomplished by either increasing the size of the boiler pump or by increasing the diameter of the piping that connects the boiler to the primary system. A larger diameter pipe reduces head loss and increases flow.
CAUTION
At no time should the system pressure be less than 12 PSIG.
Minimum boiler water temperatures
Inlet water temperatures below the specified minimum of 140°F (60°C) can excessively cool the products of combustion resulting in condensation on the heat exchanger. Condensation on the heat exchanger can cause operational problems, bad combustion, sooting, flue gas spillage and reduced service life of the related components. See the Low Temperature Bypass Requirements section for boiler system applications below the minimum specified temperature.
Low Temperature Return Water Systems
Any non-condensing boiler will develop operational problems when exposed to inlet water temperatures below 140°F. Lochinvar offers a low temperature protection valve (LTV) that is factory preset to maintain 140°F inlet water to the boiler regardless of the system return water temperature. See Table 4A for available valve kits.
TABLE 4A
LTV VALVE KITS
MODEL LTV VALVE KIT
402 - 752 VAL3048
992 - 2072 VAL3047
Low temperature bypass requirements
To prevent condensation problems, a boiler MUST NOT be operated (other than for brief periods during initial system startup) with an inlet water temperature of less than 140°F (60°C). If normal system return temperatures are less than the required 140°F (60°C) boiler inlet requirement, a method of low return water temperature protection MUST BE provided to protect the boiler.
For Example: Night Setback of the system loop water temperature, Night Shutdown and Weekend Shutdown of the entire boiler / heating system, and Indoor / Outdoor Air Reset of the system loop water temperature. If any of these control functions are being utilized, some type of low return water protection MUST BE provided.
If the boiler heating system will be used on a Water Source Heat Pump System, Radiant Floor Heating System, Snow Melting Heating System, etc., some type of low return water protection must be provided.
Condensation can cause operational problems, bad combustion, sooting, flue gas spillage and reduced service life of the vent system and related components.
To prevent system return water temperature below 140°F (60°C) from entering the boiler inlet, an electrically actuated 3-way mixing valve is available, consult manufacturer for kit availability (see FIG. 4-5 on page 41). By using this valve, the SMART SYSTEM control will bypass outlet water back into the inlet of the boiler to maintain the inlet temperature above 140°F (60°C).
A fast acting, self contained mixing valve, set to 140°F (60°C), may also be used. The installation of this valve must be done as shown in FIG. 4-5. This arrangement will maintain the required flow through the boiler.
36
Page 37
4 Water connections (continued)
Installation & Operation Manual
When a mixing valve is used, an optional system return sensor should be installed into the system return piping. This will allow the display of the actual system return temperature, and will also allow control of the system return temperature when the SMART SYSTEM control is programmed for inlet temperature control. As always, installation of the system supply sensor is strongly recommended as well. This will reduce the potential for short cycling of the boiler, and provide more responsive temperature regulation, even when the SMART SYSTEM control is programmed for inlet temperature control.
CAUTION
A boiler allowed to operate at set point temperatures below the specified minimum settings may experience operational problems with the operating controls and safety switches, obstruction of the flue gas passages on the heat exchanger, incomplete combustion and possible flue gas spillage. Operation at lower than specified water temperatures may cause hazardous conditions that result in non-warrantable damage to the appliance.
Three way valves in system
The installation of a three way valve on this boiler is not generally recommended because most piping methods allow
the three way valve to vary flow to the boiler. This boiler is a low mass, high efficiency appliance which requires a constant water flow rate for proper operation. Low flow rates can result in overheating of the boiler water which can cause short burner cycles, system noise, relief valve discharge and in extreme cases, a knocking flash to steam. These conditions can cause operational problems and non-warrantable failures of the boiler.
Radiant floor and snow melt heating systems
This type of heating boiler application operates in a low temperature range which requires a boiler bypass as described under the Low Temperature Bypass Requirements section. A non-metallic rubber or plastic tubing installed in a radiant (in floor) system must have an oxygen barrier to prevent oxygen from entering the system through the walls of the installed tubing. Excessive oxygen absorption into the system will result in an accelerated rate of corrosion causing a sludge buildup. This excessive corrosion will also damage the boiler and system components. Sludge formed as the result of excessive oxygen in the system can restrict water flow resulting in a premature boiler failure. Any boiler damage due to excessive oxygenation is non-warrantable.
TABLE - 4B
MAXIMUM FLOW FOR HEATING BOILER
The maximum flow rate through the boiler with a copper
heat exchanger must not exceed the following:
Model Maximum Flow
402, 502, 652, and 752 55 GPM
992, 1262, 1442, 1802, and 2072 90 GPM
If higher flow rates are required through the boiler, an optional Cupro-Nickel heat exchanger is available. Consult the factory for specific application requirements.
Low system water volume
System run time is very important to the overall operating efficiency of the boiler. Short cycling of the boiler creates problems with condensation in the vent stack, condensation on the heat exchanger, system temperature spikes, and mechanical component failures. To prevent short cycling of the boiler, it is important to limit the boiler cycles to six or fewer per hour.
A buffer tank is an effective way to enhance a small system load and increase heating system efficiency (see FIG. 4-6 on page 42 of this manual). Buffer tanks add water volume to the system and act as a flywheel to absorb the additional Btu’s provided by the boiler when only a single zone of a large system is calling for heat.
To calculate the proper buffer tank size for a multiple zone system:
(Run Cycle) (Output - Minimum System Load)
(Temp. Rise) (8.33) (60 Min.)
CFN2072
Min. Load = 100,000 Btu/Hr
Min. Boiler Output = 850,000 Btu/Hr
Cycle Time = 10 Min
Temp. Rise = 38
(10)(850,000 – 100,000) / (38)(8.33)(60) = 395 Gallons

Boiler bypass requirements
The installer must ensure that the boiler is supplied with adequate flow without excessive temperature rise. It is recommended that this boiler be installed with a bypass in the piping if the maximum recommended flow rate is exceeded. The bypass will help to ensure that the boiler can be supplied with adequate water flow. Flow rates exceeding the maximum recommended flow will result in erosion of the boiler tubes. A typical bypass with a valve as shown in FIG. 4-5 will allow control of boiler flow.
Temperature / pressure gauge
This boiler is equipped with a dial type temperature / pressure gauge. This gauge is factory installed in the outlet side of the boiler piping. The gauge has one scale to read system pressure and a separate scale to read water temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature / pressure gauge is provided to meet code requirements. Water temperatures can be more accurately monitored from the data provided in the digital display in the Operator Interface.

Typical heating boiler installations
General plumbing rules:
1. Check all local codes.
2. For serviceability of boiler, always install unions.
3. Always pipe pressure relief valve to an open drain.
4. Locate system air vents at highest point of system.
5. Expansion tank must be installed near the boiler and on the suction side of the system pump.
6. Support all water piping.
Installation with a chilled water system
Pipe refrigeration systems in parallel. Install duct coil downstream at cooling coil. Where the hot water heating boiler is connected to a heating coil located in the air handling units which may be exposed to refrigeration air circulation, the boiler piping system must be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.
The coil must be vented at the high point and hot water from the boiler must enter the coil at this point. Due to the fast heating capacity of the boiler, it is not necessary to provide a ductstat to delay circulator operation. Also, omit thermostat flow checks as the boiler is cold when heating thermostat is satisfied. This provides greater economy over maintaining standby heat.
DHW installation
Boilers may be utilized with a Hot Water Generator tank for domestic hot water. When used for DHW, either a tank thermostat or sensor must be installed in a bulbwell within the tank and connected back to the unit in order for the controller to regulate water temperature and a pump for DHW. Pumps used for DHW purposes should be sized to provide adequate flow to the boiler when in DHW Mode. Reference FIG. 4-3 shown with a Hot Water Generator for DHW on page 39 for a typical DHW piping scheme.

Installation & Operation Manual
Louver relay
When the heater is to control combustion air louvers, a field provided 24VAC louver relay must be installed. Connect
the Louver Relay Coil terminals to the louver relay coil.
Louver proving switch
The operation of a louver proving switch needs to be verified before the boiler fires. Remove the jumper wire from these terminals and connect them to the normally open contacts on its proving switch (FIG. 5-4).
System supply sensor (recommended use)
1. By installing the system supply sensor into the supply of the primary loop, the temperature of the primary supply can be controlled. The SMART SYSTEM control automatically detects the presence of this sensor, and controls the boiler firing rate to maintain the system supply temperature to the set point (if the outlet sensor control is currently selected).
2. Connect these terminals to the system supply sensor (FIG. 5-4).
System return sensor (optional use)
1. By installing the system return sensor into the return of the primary loop, the temperature of the primary return can be sensed when a 3-way valve or other device is installed ahead of the heater inlet. The SMART SYSTEM control automatically senses the presence of this sensor. If the inlet sensor is selected as the controlling sensor, the SMART SYSTEM control will adjust the firing rate to hold the system return temperature to the set point. It is strongly recommended that the system supply sensor be installed as well.
2. Connect these terminals to the system return sensor (FIG. 5-4).
Boiler Management System (BMS)
Runtime contacts
The SMART SYSTEM control closes a set of dry contacts whenever the burner is running. This is typically used by Building Management Systems to verify that the boiler is responding to a call for heat.
3-way valve out
An electric 3-way mixing valve may be used when the return temperature to the heater is less than 140°F (60°C). Connect the Open output to the Open terminal on the 3-way valve. Connect the Close output to the Close terminal on the valve and the COM output to the 24VAC terminal on the valve.
0 - 10V rate out
A 0 - 10VDC signal is available to allow a Building Management System (BMS) to monitor the firing rate of the heater. Make sure the (-) terminal is connected to the (-) or common terminal of the external control, and the (+) terminal is connected to the (+) or Vdc terminal of the external control.
0 - 10V system pump in
A 0 - 10VDC input is available so that the boiler can monitor the speed of a variable speed system pump. This allows the boiler to anticipate changes in the heat load as the system flow changes. Connect the (-) terminal to the (-) or common terminal on the system pump VFD drive, and the (+) terminal to the (+) or 0 ­10VDC terminal on the system pump VFD drive. A 0 - 020mA signal may also be used, by adding a 500 ohm resistor between the (+) and (-) terminals.
Sequencer
The individual stages in the heater can be controlled separately with an external sequencer. Connect the Staging S1 terminals to the first stage contacts on the sequencer, the Staging S2 terminals to the second stage contacts, and so forth. Note that the sequencer must enable the stages in order, with Stage 1 first, Stage 2 second and so on.
1. An external control may be connected to control either the firing rate or the set point of the appliance (boiler or water heater). Connect the 0 - 10 VDC terminals to the 0 - 10 VDC output of the external control. The SMART SYSTEM control can be programmed to use the enable output of the Boiler Management System, or use the voltage signal to enable the heater. Connect the Staging S1 or tank thermostat terminals to the enable output of the BMS, when used.
2. Make sure the ground terminal is connected to the ground output terminal of the external control, and the 0 - 10 V BMS IN terminal is connected to the 0 - 10 VDC terminal of the external control.
Alarm contacts
The SMART SYSTEM control closes another set of contacts whenever the heater is locked out or the power is turned off. This can be used to turn on an alarm, or signal a Building Management System that the boiler is down.

Installation & Operation Manual
Wiring of the cascade
When wiring the heaters for Cascade operation, select one heater as the Leader. The remaining heaters will be designated as Members. See page 50 Configuration of the Cascade for a detailed explanation of this procedure.
On boilers, connect the system supply sensor and outdoor air sensor (if used) to the Leader boiler. The location of the system supply sensor should be downstream of the boiler connections in the main system loop (FIG.’s 4-3 and 4-6). The system supply sensor should be wired to the low voltage connection board at the terminals marked for the system supply sensor (see FIG. 5-4). The Leader control will use the water temperature at the system supply sensor to control the operation of the Cascade.
If outdoor air reset is desired, the outdoor air sensor should be wired to the low voltage connection board at the terminals marked for the outdoor air sensor (FIG. 5-4). If the outdoor air sensor is connected, the Leader control will calculate the water temperature set point based on the programmed reset curve parameters. If the outdoor air sensor is not connected, the Leader control will maintain the space heating (SH) set point that is programmed into the control.
If a Thermostat, Zone Control enable output, or Building Management System enable output are available, it should be wired to the low voltage connection board on the Leader boiler at the Staging S1 terminals. If the boilers are to run continuously, leave the jumper wire between these terminals. This will initiate a call for heat on the Cascade. Also, leave the jumpers on the Staging S1 terminals of all the Member heaters. This will allow them to run independently should the Leader heater fail.

On water heaters, connect the tank thermostat or BMS enable output to the low voltage connection board on the Leader heater, at the terminals marked for the tank Aquastat. If a tank sensor is used, connect this sensor to the low voltage connection board on the Leader heater, at the terminals marked for the tank sensor.
Communication between the Leader heater and the Member heaters is accomplished by using shielded, 2-wire twisted pair communication cable. Connect one of the twisted pair wires to terminal A on each of the low voltage connection boards, and the other wire of the twisted pair to terminal B on each of the low voltage connection boards. Connect the shield wire to the shield ground terminal on all of the heaters. If more than two heaters are on the Cascade, daisy chain the wiring from the Cascade terminals on the second heater to the Cascade terminals on the third heater, then from the third to the forth, and so on. The connections can be made in any order, regardless of the addresses of the heaters. Try to keep each cable as short as possible.

Check/control water chemistry
CAUTION
Hardness less than 7 grains
1. Consult local water treatment companies for hard
water areas (above 7 grains hardness).
Chlorine concentration less than 200 ppm
1. Do not fill boiler or operate with water containing
chlorine in excess of 200 ppm.
2. Filling with chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable
since drinking water chlorine levels are much lower.
3. Do not use the boiler to directly heat swimming pool or
spa water.
Test/replace freeze protection fluid
1. For systems using freeze protection fluids, follow fluid
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Freeze protection fluid must be replaced periodically
due to degradation of inhibitors over time. Follow all fluid manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in the boiler system. Damage to elastomer seals and gaskets in the system could occur, resulting in substantial property damage.
Freeze protection (when used)
1. Determine freeze protection fluid quantity using system water content, following fluid manufacturer’s instructions. Appliance water content is listed on page
8. Remember to include expansion tank water content.
2. Local codes may require a backflow preventer or actual disconnect from city water supply.
3. When using freeze protection fluid with automatic fill, install a water meter to monitor water makeup. Freeze protection fluid may leak before the water begins to leak, causing concentration to drop, reducing the freeze protection level.
Fill and test water system
1. Fill system only after ensuring the water meets the
requirements of this manual.
2. Close manual and automatic air vents and boiler drain
valve.
3. Fill to correct system pressure. Correct pressure will
vary with each application.
a. The minimum cold water fill pressure should be
12 PSI.
b. Pressure will rise when boiler is turned on and
system water temperature increases.
4. At initial fill and during boiler startup and testing,
check system thoroughly for any leaks. Repair all leaks before proceeding further.
WARNING
Eliminate all system leaks. Continual fresh makeup water will reduce boiler life. Minerals can build up in the heat exchanger, reducing heat transfer, overheating the heat exchanger, and causing heat exchanger failure.
Purge air from water system
1. Purge air from system: a. Connect a hose to the purge valve (see purge/drain
valves, in the piping diagrams on pages 39 - 42). Route the hose to an area where water can drain and be seen.
b. Close the boiler or system isolation valve between
the purge valve and fill connection to the system. c. Close zone isolation valves. d. Open quick-fill valve on cold water makeup line. e. Open purge valve. f. 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 flow is present. Close the
zone isolation valves and proceed with the next zone.
Follow this procedure until all zones are purged. g. Close the quick-fill water valve and purge valve and
remove the hose. Open all isolation valves. Watch
that system pressure rises to correct cold-fill
pressure. h. After the system has operated for a while, eliminate
any residual air by using the manual air vents located
throughout the system. i. If purge valves are not installed in the system, open
the manual air vents in the system one at a time,
beginning with the lowest floor. Close the vent when
water squirts out. Repeat with remaining vents.
2. Open automatic air vent (diaphragm-type or bladder-type
expansion tank systems only) one turn.
3. Open other vents: a. Starting on the lowest floor, open air vents one at a
time until water squirts out. b. Repeat with remaining vents.
4. Refill to correct pressure.
Check for gas leaks
WARNING
WARNING
Before starting the boiler, and during initial operation, smell near the floor and around the boiler for gas odorant or any unusual odor. Remove the front access panel and smell the interior of the boiler enclosure. Do not proceed with startup if there is any indication of a gas leak. Use an approved leak detection solution. Repair any leaks at once.
Propane boilers only – Your 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.

Installation & Operation Manual
Check thermostat circuit(s)
1. Disconnect the two external wires connected to the enable terminals on the connection board.
2. Connect a voltmeter across these two incoming wires. 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 the connection board. Allow the boiler to cycle.
Check vent and air piping
Inspect vent piping and air piping for signs of deterioration from corrosion, physical damage or sagging. Verify air piping and vent piping are intact and correctly installed per this manual.
Placing the boiler in operation
Boiler operational checks
1. Turn the boiler main power switch to the “ON”
position.
2. Verify operation of the SMART SYSTEM control
module and Operator Interface.
3. Program the adjustable points from the Operator
Interface.
4. Push the reset for the low water cutoff (if equipped).
5. Ensure that maximum flow to the boiler does not exceed
55 GPM on Models 402 - 752 and 90 GPM on Models 992 - 2072. Verify by checking temperature rise while burner is firing at 100% of rated input.
6. Install a manometer on the gas supply to the boiler and
verify minimum gas supply pressure as the burner fires at 100% of rated input.
7. Verify operation of safeties as necessary (low water
cutoff, high limit, gas pressure, etc.,).
8. Verify that all adjustable points in the Operator
Interface are set as required.
9. Once the boiler analysis is complete, test the safety shutoff
device by turning the manual shutoff valve to the OFF position and ensuring that the boiler shuts down and registers an alarm. Open the manual shutoff valve and reset the control.
10. Place the boiler back into normal operation.
Boiler operation
11. Boiler should begin the start-up process for the
sequence of operation.
12. The boiler will ignite at the proper ignition speed and
will stage to meet the system demand.
13. Ensure that inlet water temperature does not fall below
the specified minimum for the boiler.
14. Based on system demand, boilers may run for an
extended period of time at a reduced rate of input to maximize efficiency.
48
15. As system demand is satisfied, the burner will cycle off and the combustion air blower will run for a post purge operation before the boiler shuts down.
Start the boiler
Read and follow the Lighting Instructions in FIG. 6-1, on page
49.
If boiler does not start correctly
1. Check for loose connections, blown fuse or service switch off?
2. Is external limit control (if used) open? Is boiler water temperature above 200°F (93.3°C)?
3. Is thermostat set below room temperature?
4. Is gas turned on at meter or boiler?
5. Is incoming gas pressure less than 4.5" water column?
If none of the above corrects the problem, refer to the Troubleshooting Section of the Copper-fin II Service Manual.
WARNING
The venting system must be installed so that it will prevent flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, which will result in severe personal injury or death.
Set space heating operation (boiler only)
Determine controlling sensor
For space heating systems, the temperature control can be based on one of four sensors; the inlet, outlet, system supply sensor, or system return sensor. The SMART SYSTEM control is programmed at the factory to control the temperature of the outlet sensor. The control will automatically switch to the system supply sensor once it is connected. If it is desired to base the temperature control on the inlet sensor, the appropriate parameter must be changed in the control. See the Copper-fin II Service Manual for a detailed explanation of this procedure. The control will automatically switch to the system return sensor once it is connected. It is recommended that a system supply sensor be installed even when using the inlet sensor as the controlling sensor.
Verify space heat circulator mode
The Space Heating Mode controls both the system (primary) pump (if connected), and the boiler (secondary) pump. When the SMART SYSTEM control receives a space heating call for heat, it turns on the system pump. If the boiler is not heating an indirect DHW (Domestic Hot Water) tank, it also turns on the boiler pump. After the space heating call for heat ends, the system pump continues to run for a short period of time. If the boiler pump was running, it continues to run for a short period of time as well. These pump delays are factory set to 30 seconds. If different delays are desired, the appropriate parameters in the control must be changed. See the Copper-fin II Service Manual for a detailed explanation of this procedure.
Set space heating set point temperature
The UP and DOWN keys may be used during normal operation to adjust the space heating set point temperature (see FIG. 7-1 on page 56 of this manual). Once the desired temperature is displayed, press the ENTER/RESET key to save the new setting. If the ENTER/RESET key is not pressed, the new setting will be used for the current heating cycle only. The old setting will become active after the current heating cycle ends.

Installation & Operation Manual
Set DHW operation
Verify DHW circulator mode (boiler only)
The DHW Mode is programmed to heat an indirect domestic hot water tank. When the tank thermostat or tank sensor calls for heat, the SMART SYSTEM control will turn on the DHW pump and turn off the boiler pump (if running). If the system pump is running, it will remain on. When the DHW call for heat ends, and there is no space heating call for heat, the DHW pump will continue to run for a period of time. This pump delay is set at the factory to 30 seconds. If a shorter or longer delay is desired, the appropriate parameter in the control must be changed. See the Copper-fin II Service Manual for a detailed explanation of this procedure. If there is an active space heating call for heat, then the boiler pump will be turned on and the DHW pump will be turned off.
Set outlet target temperature (boiler only)
When in the DHW Mode, the control will modulate to maintain the outlet temperature to a set point. This set point is set at the factory to 180°F (82.2°C). If a different set point is desired, the appropriate parameter in the control must be changed. See the Copper-fin II Service Manual for a detailed explanation of this procedure.
Set tank target temperature
If a tank sensor is used, the tank set point can be adjusted by pressing either the UP or DOWN key. A menu will appear on the LCD display. Press the DOWN key to select the tank set point, and press ENTER. Use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the set point. Press the ENTER key again to save the new set point and return to the normal display.
Set clock
The SMART SYSTEM control has a built-in clock that it uses for its night setback feature and for logging events. This clock must be set when the appliance is installed, and anytime the appliance has been powered off for more than one month. Use the following procedure to set the clock:
1. Press and hold the MENU key (FIG. 7-1) for at least 5 seconds.
2. The display changes to ready “ENTER MENU CODE”, with four (4) zeros below it.

7 Operating information (continued)
Installation & Operation Manual
General
How the appliance operates
The Copper-fin II uses a copper finned 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. The control module regulates the blower speed and firing stages, based upon the heat demand. Gas valves regulate the amount of gas supplied for the firing stages, which is then mixed with the combustion air supplied to the burner.
NOTICE
NOTICE
How the control module operates
The SMART SYSTEM control module receives input from appliance sensors and external devices. The control module activates and controls the blower and gas valves to regulate heat input and switches the boiler, Domestic Hot Water (DHW), and system pumps on and off as needed. The user programs the module to meet system needs by adjusting control parameters. These parameters set operating temperatures and appliance operating modes. Boiler operation can be based on boiler outlet water temperature, boiler inlet water temperature, system supply temperature, or system return temperature, depending on the parameter setting. Water heater operation can be based on a tank sensor or a tank thermostat.
If an inline high gas pressure regulator is used, it MUST BE of the lockup type and be located a minimum of 10 feet from the appliance. Failure to do so may result in insufficient gas volume supplied to the appliance.
If a pressure drop of more than 2" water column occurs between Standby (static) Mode and Operating (dynamic) Mode, a gas volume problem exists. Contact the gas utility, gas supplier, qualified installer, or service agency to determine the necessary steps to provide the proper gas volume to the appliance.
0 - 10V input (set point or power)
The Copper-fin II can be controlled by a Building Management System (BMS) using a 0 - 10 VDC signal. The control can be configured by the installer to use this signal to either control set point or firing rate.
DHW priority (boiler only)
The SMART SYSTEM control module allows connection of a DHW thermostat or tank sensor to the low voltage connection board. When the DHW thermostat or tank sensor calls for heat, the module activates the DHW pump, shuts down the boiler pump, and immediately sets the target outlet water temperature to 180°F (82.2°C). This provides automatic priority heat allocation to the indirect water heater for maximum response and recovery. The DHW pump continues for 30 seconds after the heating cycle to deliver the most possible heat.
DHW / SH (space heating) cycling (boiler only)
If an indirect DHW call for heat is received while a space heating call is in progress, the control will start the DHW pump and shut the boiler pump off. The system pump will remain on. If the space heating call is still active while the DHW call is in operation, the control will wait for 30 minutes (time adjustable by installer) then it will switch back to the space heating demand. The control will switch back and forth until one of the heat demands end.
Programmable controlling sensor (boiler only)
The control module is programmed to use the outlet sensor as the control sensor by default. If a system supply sensor is connected, the control automatically uses it as the control sensor. The control sensor can be changed by the installer to the inlet sensor. In this case, if a system return sensor is installed, the control automatically uses it as the control sensor. If the inlet sensor is chosen as the controlling sensor, it is recommended that the system supply sensor be installed for the best system performance.
Anti-cycling (boiler only)
After the set point has been satisfied, the control will delay the next burner cycle for a set time period (time is adjustable by the installer). The time delay will be bypassed if the system return temperature drops too far during the delay.
Control inputs and outputs
Staging S1 - S4
The S1 input tells the boiler to provide water for space heating. The S2 - S4 inputs are used when a sequencer controls the boiler.
Tank Aquastat
This input tells the boiler to provide water for heating a domestic hot water tank.
Boiler, system, and DHW pump control
When a space heating call for heat starts and no DHW call is on, the system and boiler pumps are turned on. As long as the space heating call for heat is on, the system pump will remain on. If a DHW call for heat is on, the boiler pump will wait to turn on until just before the DHW pump turns off. After the space heating call for heat ends, both pumps will run for an additional period of time.
When a DHW call for heat starts, the DHW pump is turned on. If a space heating call for heat was on, the boiler pump will turn off a few seconds after the DHW pump turns on.

7 Operating information
Installation & Operation Manual
Temperature control
Firing rate
Depending upon the model, the Copper-fin II is capable of staging its firing rate from a minimum of 25% to a maximum of 100%. The firing rate is dictated by the call for heat (i.e., space heating or domestic hot water), the heating load, ramp delay (if enabled), and various other temperature limitations.
Ramp delay (boiler only)
For systems with lower flow, the SMART SYSTEM can limit the firing rate (when enabled) when a space heating call for heat starts, or when switching from a DHW call for heat to a space heating call for heat. There are six (6) limits that can be programmed, as well as six (6) time intervals corresponding to each limit. The sixth limit will also limit the firing rate for the rest of the call for heat.
Gradient limiting
If during operation of the heater the outlet water temperature is rising too quickly, the control will reduce the firing rate to its lowest setting.
Outdoor air reset (boiler only)
Protection features
Outlet temperature, and temperature rise limiting
The outlet temperature is monitored by the boiler outlet temperature sensor. When the outlet temperature exceeds 230°F (110°C) (boilers) or 190°F (88°C) (water heaters), the unit will reduce the firing rate. If the outlet water temperature exceeds 235°F (113°C) (boilers) or 200° (93°C) (water heaters) the control will shut the unit down until it cools off.
The control monitors the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet sensor. If this difference exceeds the first limit the control will turn off stages. If the temperature difference exceeds a second limit the control will shut the unit down. The unit will restart automatically once the temperature difference has dropped 10°F (6°C) and the minimum off time has expired.
Freeze protection
DO NOT install the appliance in a room likely to freeze.
The following integral feature of the SMART SYSTEM control module provides some protection for the appliance only -- not for the system.
With the outdoor air sensor connected, the control module will calculate the set point based on the programmed reset curve. The installer can change the slope of the reset curve by several adjustable parameters. The user can limit the maximum set point for the system using the space heating set point.
Boost function (boiler only)
If outdoor air reset is active, and a space heating demand has been active continuously for a set period of time (time adjustable by installer) and there has been no DHW demands, the control may be programmed to increase the set point by a fixed number of degrees (adjustable by installer). This process will repeat until the space heating demand ends, the set point reaches the programmed set point or a maximum of 20 increases has occurred. Once the system heat demand is satisfied, the set point will revert to the value determined by the reset curve.
Night setback
The controller may be programmed to reduce the space heating (boilers) and tank set points during a certain time each day. A start and stop time can be programmed for each day of the week.
• The SMART SYSTEM control module provides freeze-up protection as follows when the appliance water temperature drops below 45°F (7.2°C):
Below 45°F (7.2°C), the appliance and system pumps operate constantly.
Below 37°F (2.7°C), the appliance turns on.
• Appliance and pumps turn off if appliance water temperature rises above 45°F (7.2°C).
CAUTION
High limit operations
When outlet temperature exceeds 240°F (116°C) (boilers) or 210°F (99°C) (water heaters), high limit action occurs. The appliance shuts down until the outlet water cools down and the RESET button on the Operator Interface is pressed.
This feature of the SMART SYSTEM control module does not eliminate the possibility of freezing. The installer must still use recognized design, installation and maintenance practice to prevent freeze potential for the appliance and system.
52

7 Operating information (continued)
Installation & Operation Manual
Low water cutoff protection
1. The SMART SYSTEM control module uses temperature sensing of both inlet and outlet areas of the heat exchanger. If the flow rate is too low or the outlet temperature too high, the control module modulates and shuts the appliance down. This along with the flow switch, ensures appliance shutdown in the event of low water or low flow conditions.
2. Some codes and jurisdiction may accept these integral features of the control in lieu of requiring an additional limit control or low water cutoff. Consult local jurisdiction to determine. Contact manufacturer for low water cutoff kit availability.
Monitor external limits
Connections are provided on the connection board for external limits such as a louver proving switch. The SMART SYSTEM will shut off the burner and inhibit relighting whenever any of these external limits open.
Run-time and alarm outputs
The appliance provides dry contacts for indicating when the appliance is running, and when it is unable to operate.
Run-time and cycle counting
The control uses two timers to monitor the total hours of burner operation. One timer monitors the time the appliance is firing under 50% of rate. The other timer monitors the time the appliance is firing over 50% rate.
Boiler temperature regulation
Operating temperature (target)
The SMART SYSTEM control module senses water temperature and regulates appliance firing and firing rate to achieve a target temperature. The target temperature can be set between 70°F (21°C) and 220°F (104°C) (boilers) or between 60°F (16°C) and 190°F (88°C) (water heaters).
• Target temperature is fixed when the outdoor sensor is not installed (boilers).
• Target temperature is calculated as described under “Outdoor Air Reset Operation” and “Boost Function” when the outdoor sensor is connected (boilers).
Outdoor reset operation, if used (boilers
only)
Target temperature with outdoor reset
This feature improves the system’s efficiency as the outdoor temperature warms up.
See the Copper-fin II Service Manual to change the settings.
Reset curve
The reset curve looks at outdoor air temperature and adjusts the set point.
The control uses four (4) ignition counters to monitor the amount of appliance cycles. The first counter counts all ignitions of the control. The second counter counts only ignition attempts that have failed. The third and fourth counters are the same as the first and second respectively, but can be reset by the installer.
Service reminder
The control can be programmed for service reminder notification. This notification will become active when either a set time frame has expired, or a set amount of running hours or cycles has expired (all adjustable by the installer). The display will alternate the standard text on the display screen with Service Due every 5 seconds. The service reminder notification can be reset by the installer.
Error logging
The control will hold in memory the last 10 error codes as well as the last 10 turn-off functions. The date and time of the occurrence will be recorded as well. Only the 10 most current occurrences will be held in memory.
Cascade
When multiple appliances are installed, they can be wired together in a cascade sequence. A maximum of eight appliances can be controlled from a single control. In this application one appliance would be designated as the Leader control and all others would be designated as Member controls. The set point or firing rate can be controlled by the 0 - 10V input as well.
Once the Leader appliance receives a call for heat from a BMS, tank sensor, or external thermostat, the control will determine what the set point will be. A fixed temperature set point can be programmed into the control. See Copper-fin II Service Manual to program the set point.
On boilers, if the water temperature at the system sensor is less than the set point + the turn-off offset - the off-on differential, then the control will initiate a call for heat on the Cascade (see the Copper-fin II Service Manual for an explanation of the offset and differential). The Leader will energize the lead appliance on the Cascade. For a new startup this will be the Leader appliance.
On water heaters, if the water temperature at the tank sensor is less than the tank set point - the off differential, then the control will initiate a call for heat on the Cascade.
53
Page 54
7 Operating information
Installation & Operation Manual
The appliance will fire at its ignition speed and will then stage its firing rate to maintain the set point. If the first appliance reaches 100% of its firing rate, the Leader will calculate at what point the second appliance could fire at its minimum firing rate. At this point, the Leader will fire the second appliance on the Cascade. For a new startup, this would be the first Member appliance. The appliance will fire at its ignition speed and will then staging its firing rate to maintain the set point.
If the set point still cannot be met, the Leader will continue firing more Members until either the heat demand is met or all appliances on the Cascade are firing. As the heat demand decreases, the last appliance on will stage down to its minimum firing rate. Once the demand for that appliance is 0% it will shut down. As the heat demand decreases further, the second to last appliance will stage down and shut off. This will continue until the demand is satisfied and all appliances are shut off.
Sequence of the cascade
To equalize the run time of all appliances on the Cascade, the firing sequence will automatically be changed at set intervals.
For the first 24 hours after initializing the Cascade, the sequence will be changed every hour. After that the sequence will be changed once every 24 hours. The switching on/off sequence will be as follows:
DHW, Night Setback, and Ramp Delay operation with cascade
For indirect DHW operation any boiler(s) in the Cascade can be selected to provide heat for a DHW call. Select a boiler to be designated as the DHW boiler. Connect the tank thermostat or tank sensor to the corresponding terminals on the low voltage connection board. When the boiler receives a DHW call, the Leader control will take that boiler out of the Cascade sequence. If another boiler is available, the Leader will start it up to take its place.
The DHW boiler will adjust its set point to the programmed outlet set point and will adjust its firing rate to maintain this. Once the DHW call has been satisfied, the Leader control will place that boiler back into the Cascade sequence.
Switching of the boiler between DHW operation and SH operation when there is a call for both does not occur. The boiler will provide heat for the DHW demand until it is satisfied.
Night Setback operation of the boilers or water heaters within the Cascade is available. Programming of the Space Heating (SH) Night Setback will be done through the Leader boiler. Refer to the Copper-fin II Service Manual for information regarding Night Setback.
Ramp Delay operation of the boilers as described in the Copper-fin II Service Manual is available when the boilers are part of a Cascade system.

Sequence of operation
OPERATION DISPLAY
Installation & Operation Manual
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. • If the unit is equipped with a proof of closure valve, the proof of closure switch must be closed. The proof of closure valve is then energized. The gas pressure switch(es) (if equipped) must close.
• If the contact for the louvers is closed, the louver proving, and auto reset high limit (water heater only) inputs 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.

HTR: IGNITION OUT: 123.9F(129)
HTR: POSTPURGE, LOCKOUT OUT: 123.9F(129)
7. If the SMART SYSTEM control senses flame, it will fire the burner to maintain the set point. The firing rate will stage as required to hold the actual temperature at the set point. If the boiler lights due to a space heating call for heat, and the ramp delay function is active (default is disabled), the staging will be held to a series of increasing limits after the burner has lit.
8. If the space heating call for heat is active, and a DHW call for heat becomes active, 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 modulate to maintain the outlet temperature to the DHW boiler set point.
9. If the DHW call for heat remains active 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 set point. 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 burner. 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.

8 Domestic water heaters
Installation & Operation Manual
This section applies only to those appliances used to supply domestic hot water, installed with a storage tank(s). A circulating pump MUST be installed in the piping assembly to the storage tank and valves used to control water velocity through the appliance. Proper water velocity is important for correct operation of your water heater.
This section contains specific instructions for those appliances used to supply domestic hot water. All warnings, cautions, notes and instructions in the general installation and operation sections apply to these instructions. Water heaters are designed for installation with a storage tank. The operation of the circulating pump, proper sizing of the piping between the tank and heater and the control of water velocity, as explained in this section, are important for correct operation of your water heater.
NOTICE
To ensure proper velocity through the heat exchanger, it is necessary to regulate the temperature rise across the heat exchanger from inlet to outlet. This must be done on initial installation and periodically rechecked. With the correct temperature rise across the heat exchanger when the water heater is firing at 100% of rated input, you may be assured of the proper velocity in the tubes. This will yield long life and economical operation from your water heater.
Excessive lime/scale build-up in the heat exchanger tubes is a result of restricted flow and too little velocity in the tubes. Excessive pitting or erosion in the tube is caused by high water flow and too much velocity through the tubes. Care should be taken to measure temperature rise and maintain velocity as follows:
Initial set-up of maximum water flow
On initial start-up of the Copper-fin II the maximum water flow through the heat exchanger must be manually set before normal operation begins.
TABLE - 8A
MAXIMUM WATER FLOW
CAUTION: The maximum flow rate through a Copper-fin II water heater with a copper heat exchanger must be set to provide and not exceed the following flow:
Model Maximum Flow
402, 502, 652, and 752 55 GPM
992, 1262, 1442, 1802, and 2072 90 GPM
If higher flow rates are required through the water heater, an optional Cupro Nickel heat exchanger is available. Consult the factory for specific application requirements.
The heat exchanger is capable of operating within the design flow rates required for the water heater, storage tank(s), and connecting piping. Erosion of the finned copper tubes may occur if the flow rate exceeds the maximum allowable flow rate through the water heater. The maximum flow rate through the water heater must be adjusted. Maximum flow on Models 402
- 752 is 55 GPM and 90 GPM on Models 992 - 2072. Flow rate can be determined by measuring the temperature rise through the water heater when it is firing at full rate input.

1. The pump must run continuously when the burner is firing.
2. With the pump running and the burner in the water heater in the off cycle, the inlet water temperature and outlet water temperature readings on the Operator Interface should read approximately the same temperatures. Water Temperature Rise on the Operator Interface should read near zero.
3. Turn the water heater on and allow time for the temperature to stabilize. The Service Mode can be used to force the water heater to run at full fire. See the Copper-fin II Service Manual for a detailed explanation of the Service Mode. Check the water temperature rise in the Operator Interface when the burner is firing at 100% of rated input.
4. Compare the water temperature rise in the Operator Interface with the required temperature rise. Should adjustment be needed, proceed as follows.
62
Page 63
8 Domestic water heaters (continued)
Installation & Operation Manual
If the temperature rise is too high, the water velocity is too low, adjust as follows:
1. Check for restrictions in the outlet of the water heater.
2. Be sure all valves are open between the water heater and the storage tank. Ensure that all ball valves are fully ported.
3. Check the pump to be sure it is running properly and that the pump motor is running in the proper direction.
4. Check diameter and length of the piping between the storage tank and water heater against the head capacity of the circulating pump.
5. Be sure the pipes between the water heater and storage tank are not less than 2 or 2 1/2 inch (63.5mm) diameter (depending on model). To increase flow and decrease temperature rise, increase the piping to 3 inch (76.2mm) diameter (depending on model) to decrease head loss in the piping to the storage tank.
6. Common manifold piping for multiple unit installations will require larger minimum pipe sizes and tank circulating tappings to ensure proper flow.
Water chemistry
NOTICE
The required temperature rise and the standard circulating pump are sized based on the heating of potable water with a hardness of 5 to 25 grains per gallon and a total dissolved solids not exceeding 350 ppm. Consult the manufacturer when heating potable water exceeding these specifications. Heating of high hardness and/or high total dissolved solids water may require a larger circulating pump, an optional Cupro Nickel heat exchanger and a revised temperature rise specification based on the water chemistry of the water to be heated. Water with a hardness of less than 5 grains per gallon will usually have a pH which can be aggressive and corrosive causing non­warrantable damage to the heater, pump, and associated piping. Corrosion due to water chemistry generally shows up first in the hot water system because heated water increases the rate of corrosive chemical reactions.
Water temperature rise and maximum flow data is based on heating potable water with a hardness of 5 to 25 grains per gallon and total dissolved solids not exceeding 350 ppm.
If the temperature rise is too low, the water velocity is too high, adjust as follows:
1. Temperature rise can be increased by slowly closing the field-installed ball valve in the outlet piping from the water heater to the storage tank to achieve the proper temperature rise.
2. Sustained high water velocity and low temperature rise may result in pitting or erosion of the copper tubes in the heat exchanger. This is a non-warrantable failure. Temperature rise must be properly adjusted to achieve the specified flow rate.
3. Once temperature rise has been properly set, return to normal operation.
CAUTION
Temperature rise cannot be adjusted when the burner is firing at less than 100% of rated input.

Pump operation
1. The water heater must have a properly sized circulating pump. This pump is sized to circulate water between the heater and the storage tank only.
2. The pump is sized to the heater input and water chemistry specifications noted in the Water Chemistry section on page 63.
3. The diameter and length of the piping installed between the storage tank(s) and water heater must be properly sized based on the capacity of the circulating pump.
4. The pump must run continuously when the water heater is energized. This is the standard operating system for a water heater.
A pump delay control function with an all bronze pump is installed as standard equipment on all water heater systems. The pump will operate only while there is a “Call for Heat” and for a timed period after the water temperature set point is satisfied to remove any residual heat from the combustion chamber.
5. Lubricate pump to manufacturer’s recommendations. Pump damage due to inadequate lubrication is non-warrantable.
The tank sensor must be installed in the tapping provided in the lower 25% of the storage tank to achieve proper operation. As shipped from the factory, the tank sensor is in the literature package shipped with the unit. Placing the sensor in the tapping provided on the storage tank will improve temperature response and prevent short cycles of operation.

Installation & Operation Manual
The standard circulating pump on this water heater is sized based on installation of a single storage tank and heater in close proximity. If the number of fittings and straight pipe exceeds the specified maximum equivalent number of straight feet for a specified diameter of pipe, non-warrantable operational problems may be experienced.

1/4 HP, 120 VAC, 5.8 Amps
992 - 2072 Models
1/2 HP, 120 VAC, 7.4 Amps The standard pump selection is based on the following pipe and fittings from the water heater to the storage tank: 6 - 90° elbows 2 - ball valves 2 - unions 1 - cold water tee Not more than 45 feet of straight pipe. For every elbow and tee in excess of those shown above, DEDUCT 6.5 FEET from the maximum allowable straight pipe in the heater to tank circulating loop.

When installing multiple water heaters and/or multiple storage tanks, the diameter of the inter-connecting pipe and all fittings must be increased. An increase in pipe diameter will decrease head loss in the system piping and ensure proper flow. Proper pipe size between the heater and storage tank MUST be maintained to ensure that the standard pump supplied on the water heater will maintain desired flow.
When DHW Night Setback is enabled, the system pump output can be used to control a building circulation pump. The pump output will be on during the time Night Setback is not active and will be off when Night Setback is active. A field installed contactor must be used when controlling a circulation pump larger than 1/6 HP.
Heat exchanger
This is a highly sophisticated heat exchanger designed to carry water in such a way that it generates a scouring action which keeps all interior surfaces free from build-up of impurities. The straight-line, two pass design of the copper finned tubes send water into the headers at a properly rated velocity. The configuration of the headers, in turn, creates a high degree of turbulence which is sufficient to keep all contaminants in suspension. This “scouring action” provides greater cost savings for owners. Tubes are always able to transfer heat at peak efficiency. Every surface within this water containing section is of a non-ferrous material, providing clear, clean, rust­free hot water. Straight copper tubes-finned on the outside for maximum heat transfer and glass lined, cast iron, one piece, cored headers make up an entirely rust-proof unit. On all models, header inspection plugs in the heat exchanger can be removed for field inspection and cleaning of copper tubes. The heat exchanger may be removed from the unit.

Installation & Operation Manual
Thermostat adjustment procedure
1. Press the UP or DOWN key to view the set point setting.
2. Press either the UP or DOWN key to increase or decrease the displayed set point value.
3. Press the ENTER key to permanently store the new set point into the control module’s memory.
Failure to press the ENTER key after changing the display value will result in the set point reverting back to its previous value after the current heat demand ends.
The control may be adjusted any time regardless of call for heat status. When pressing the UP or DOWN key to enter any new set points, the control module will immediately begin controlling based on the new set point.
Minimum water temperatures (domestic hot water use)
Domestic water temperatures:
This high efficiency water heater should be operated at a temperature setting high enough to prevent condensing of the products of combustion on the unit’s heat exchanger or in the attached venting system. Use extreme caution when storing water at elevated temperatures. A water temperature setting maintained above the dew point of the products of gas combustion should prevent condensate formation and ensure proper performance of the venting system. The manufacturer recommends the use of a properly sized thermostatic mixing valve to supply domestic hot water at temperatures less than 140°F (60°C). Storing the water at a higher temperature and thermostatically mixing the water will increase the available quantity of mixed hot water, greatly reducing the possibility of condensate formation on the heat exchanger or in the venting system and help prevent the growth of water borne bacteria.
NOTICE
Adequate care MUST be taken to prevent a potential scald injury when storing water at elevated temperatures for domestic use.
Inlet water temperatures below the specified minimum recommendations can excessively cool the products of combustion resulting in condensation on the heat exchanger. Condensation on the heat exchanger can cause operational problems, bad combustion, sooting, flue gas spillage and reduced service life of the related components.
CAUTION
The maximum temperature set point that can be programmed into the control module from the Operator Interface for water heater operation is 190°F (88°C). The control is factory pre-set at approximately 120°F (49°C). Facilities with small children or invalids may require 120°F (49°C) or a lower temperature setting to reduce risk of scald injury. Some states may require a lower temperature setting. Check with your gas supplier for local requirements governing the temperature setting. Remember, no water heating system will provide exact temperature at all times. Allow a few days of operation at this setting to determine the correct temperature setting consistent with your needs.
NOTICE
CAUTION
An appliance allowed to operate at return temperatures below the specified minimum setting may experience problems with the operating controls, safety switches, obstruction of the flue gas passages on the heat exchanger, incomplete combustion, and possible flue gas spillage. Sustained operation at lower than specified water temperatures may cause hazardous conditions that may result in personal injury or non-warrantable damage to the appliance.
1. This water heater, when set at the lower temperature setting, is not capable of producing hot water of sufficient temperature for sanitizing purposes.
2. Higher stored water temperature increases the ability of the water heater to supply desired quantities of hot water, however remember --
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.

8 Domestic water heaters
Figure 8-5_Danger Warning
Location of Cold Water Supply Piping Connections
Incorrect piping of the cold water supply to the system may result in excessive low temperature operation causing condensate formation on the primary heat exchanger and operational problems. The cold water supply piping must be installed in the discharge piping from the heater to the storage tank. This allows the cold water to be tempered in the storage tank before entering the heater. See typical installation drawings provided in this manual for correct piping (FIG.’s 8-1 thru 8-4). Higher water temperatures reduce the volume of condensate formed.
CAUTION
Setting the temperature selector to higher settings provides hotter water, which increases the risk of scald injury.
Installation & Operation Manual
A high limit control is located on the inside of the left front panel, as shown in FIG. 8-6. The setting of this control knob limits maximum discharge water temperature. The water heater temperature limit control is adjustable up to a maximum setting of 210°F (99°C). This water heater also includes a fixed high water temperature limit control set to 200° (93.3°C). The RESET key on the display must be pushed whenever water temperature has exceeded the set point of the limit. The temperature of the water in the heat exchanger must drop a minimum of 15°F (8.3°C) below the setting of the high limit control before the reset function can be activated. A high limit message will be shown in the Operator Interface when water temperature exceeds the high water temperature limit control set point.
NOTICE
Optional relief valve
This water heater is normally supplied with a temperature and pressure relief valve sized in accordance with applicable codes. Units may be supplied with an optional pressure only relief valve. When a water heater is equipped with this optional relief valve and is piped to a separate storage vessel, the storage vessel must have a properly installed temperature and pressure relief valve which complies with local codes.
Thermal expansion
The high limit control will not reset until the water temperature has dropped below the set point of the high limit.
WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the electrical supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location external to the appliance.
Optional adjustable auxiliary high water temperature limit control
ADJUSTABLE AUXILIARY HIGH WATER TEMPERATURE LIMIT CONTROL (OPTION)
A relief valve that discharges periodically may be due to thermal expansion in a closed system. A water heater installed in a closed system, such as one with a backflow preventer or check valve installed in the cold water supply, shall be provided with means to control expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. Never plug or cap the relief valve discharge.
Cathodic protection
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet be open for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the hot water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flames near the faucet at the time it is open.

Address reported problems
1. Inspect any problems reported by the owner and correct before proceeding.
Inspect appliance area
1. Verify that appliance area is free of any combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Inspect appliance interior
1. Remove the outer access panels and inspect the interior of the appliance.
2. Vacuum any sediment from inside the appliance and components. Remove any obstructions.
Check all piping for leaks
Check water system
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.
WARNING
1. Inspect all water and gas piping and verify to be leak free.
2. Look for signs of leaking lines and correct any problems found.
3. Check gas line using the procedure found in Section 3 - Gas Connections of the Copper-fin II Installation and Operation Manual.
Eliminate all system or appliance leaks. Continual fresh makeup water will reduce appliance life. Minerals can build up in sections, reducing heat transfer, overheating heat exchanger, and causing heat exchanger failure. Leaking water may also cause severe property damage.
Flue vent system and air piping
1. Check for gastight seal at every connection, seam of air piping, and vent piping periodically inspected by a qualified service agency.
WARNING
Venting system must be sealed gastight to prevent flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, which will result in severe personal injury or death.
Check expansion tank
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 Section 4 - Water Connections of the Copper-fin II Installation and Operation Manual for suggested best location of expansion tanks and air eliminators.

Installation & Operation Manual
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 Section 4 - Water Connections of the Copper-fin II Installation and Operation Manual before proceeding further.
WARNING
WARNING
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.
Inspect/replace hot surface igniter
This unit uses a proven SMART SYSTEM control module and a hot surface igniter. The SMART SYSTEM control module is not repairable. Any modification or repairs will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING
A faulty hot surface igniter or control module must be replaced with an identical part. A specification igniter and control module for this specific unit is available from your local distributor. Do not use general purpose field replacement
control modules or igniters.
Do not attempt to repair a faulty hot surface igniter or control module. Any modification or repairs may create hazardous conditions that result in property damage, personal injury, fire, explosion and/or toxic gases.
Ignition system checkout
1. Turn off gas supply to unit.
2. Turn electric power on.
3. Adjust the set point on the temperature control to a setting above water temperature or to the highest safe setting.
4. The igniter will cycle on trial for ignition.
5. The control module will lock out and turn the alarm light on.
6. Adjust the Set Point Differential and High-Fire Offset to the desired settings.
7. Turn on gas supply.
8. Press the RESET button at the electronic display panel to reset the control module.
9. If ignition system fails to operate properly, repair work must be performed by a qualified service person or installer.
Check all wiring
1. Inspect all wiring, making sure wires are in good condition and securely attached.
Check control settings
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.
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.

Installation & Operation Manual
Perform start-up and checks
1. Start appliance and perform checks and tests specified in Section 7 - Start-up of the Copper-fin II 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. A burner viewport is located on the burner mounting flange.
WARNING
Figure 9-2_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.
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.
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 inner jacket, outer jacket, flue pipe connections, burner 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
1. Turn off main power to unit.
2. Turn off main manual gas shutoff to unit.
3. Remove the front outer jacket panels.
4. Disconnect manifold from gas train using union(s) just below each gas valve(s).
5. Remove mounting screws from manifold mounting brackets. Pull the manifold/orifice assembly away from burners. Repeat for each manifold assembly.
6. Remove two mounting screws from burner and slide burner out toward front of unit. Use caution to prevent damage to burners, refractory, hot surface igniter or wiring.
7. Remove soot from burners with a stiff bristle brush.
Dirt may be removed from burner ports by rinsing the burner thoroughly with water. Drain and dry burners before re-installing. Damaged burners must be replaced.
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.
74
When installed in a dusty and dirty location, the burners may require cleaning on a 3 to 6 month schedule or as needed, based on severity of contamination. Contaminants can be drawn in with the combustion air. Non combustible particulate matter such as dust, dirt, concrete dust or dry wall dust can block burner ports and cause non-warrantable failure. The standard inlet air filter will help eliminate dust and dirt from entering the unit. Use extreme care when operating a unit for temporary heat during new construction. The burners could require a thorough cleaning before the unit is placed in service.
Page 75
9 Maintenance (continued)
Inspect and clean the heat exchanger
1. While burners are removed, check the heat exchanger surface for sooting. If present, heat exchanger must be cleaned and problem corrected. Proceed as follows.
2. Remove gas manifold(s)/orifice assemblies as described in steps 1 through 5 in Burner Removal and Cleaning, page 74.
3. Disconnect wiring from the hot surface igniter and hose from the burner pressure tap.
4. Remove inner jacket panel mounting screws and slide door assembly out toward front of the unit. Use caution to prevent damage to the refractory and hot surface igniter.
5. Check “V” baffles and frame runners along front and back edges of heat exchanger. Remove and clean if necessary.
6. Remove soot from heat exchanger with a stiff bristle brush. Use a vacuum to remove loose soot from surfaces and inner chamber.
7. The heat exchanger can be removed by sliding towards the front of the unit. Once the heat exchanger is removed from the unit, a garden hose can be used to wash the tubes to ensure that all soot is removed from the heat exchanger surfaces. Note: Do not wet the unit’s refractory.
8. Ensure that all burner ports are cleaned to remove any soot. See Burner Removal and Cleaning, page 74.
9. Carefully reinstall the heat exchanger, “V” baffles, and frame runners if removed from the unit. Note: Make sure frame runners seal securely where they contact the front and rear compartment refractory.
10. Carefully reinstall inner jacket panels, burners, manifolds, wires and hoses. Use new gasket material to ensure a proper air seal.
11. Reassemble all gas and water piping. Test for gas leaks.
NOTICE
Upon completion of any testing on the gas system, leak test all gas connections with a soap and water solution while main burners are operating. Do not spray soap and water solution on the SMART SYSTEM control module housing. The use of an excessive amount of soap and water solution can damage the control. Immediately repair any leak found in the gas train or related components. Do not operate an appliance with a leak in the gas train, valves, or related piping.
