FTV I&O Manual │Boiler Location

3.0 BOILER LOCATION

In all cases, the FTV boiler must be installed indoors in a dry location where the ambient temperature must be maintained above freezing and below 100F [38C]. All boiler components must be protected from dripping, spraying water, or rain during operation and servicing. Consider the proximity of system piping, gas and electrical supply, condensate disposal drain, and proximity to vent termination when determining the best boiler location.

Boiler Area Ventilation Air Openings

If boiler area clearances are less than the recommended clearances specified in Table 3-1, the boiler area must be ventilated (Exception: if the boiler area/room has a volume of 150 ft3 or greater, ventilation of the boiler room is not required). Each ventilation air opening must meet the minimum requirements of 1 in2 per 1000 Btu/hr., but not less than 100 in2. The lower ventilation opening must be located within 6 in. of the floor while the upper opening must be located 6 in. from the top of the space.

Closet Installations

For closet installations it is necessary to provide two ventilation air openings as shown in Figure 3-1, each providing a minimum area equal to 1 in2 per 1000 Btu/hr., but not less than 100 in2 and within 6 in. of the top and bottom of the closet door. See Table 3-1 for minimum clearances.

Alcove Installations

Alcove installations have the same minimum clearances as closet installations, except the front must be completely open to the room at a distance no greater than 18 in. [457 mm] from the front of the boiler and the room is at least three (3) times the size of the alcove. Provided these conditions are met, the boiler requires no extra ventilation air openings to the space. See Table 3-1 for minimum clearances.

Residential Garage Installations

When installed in a residential garage, mount the boiler a minimum of 18 in. [457 mm] above the floor. Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be damaged by a moving vehicle. Check with your local authorities for other possible regulations pertaining to the installation of a boiler in a garage.

Wall Mounting Installations

FTV boilers are provided with integrated wall mounting brackets. Refer to Figure 3-2 for instructions and illustrations on wall mounting.

Table 3-1 Minimum Clearances for Installation and Service

Water or flood damaged components must be replaced immediately with new factoryapproved components as failure to do so may result in fire, serious injury, or death.

If the "Boiler Area" does not meet the recommended clearances listed in Table 3-1, and if the boiler area has a volume less than 150 ft3, it is considered a Closet or Alcove. In US/Canada, PVC vent pipe and fittings shall not be used within the closet or alcove; only approved CPVC, Polypropylene or Stainless Steel vent pipe and fittings can be used. See Table 4-5 for a list of approved materials. Under all circumstances, the minimum clearances listed in Table 3-1 must be provided.

Closet/Alcove installations in US and Canada require approved CPVC, Polypropylene or Stainless Steel vent and air-inlet pipe and fittings (see Table 4-5); PVC is not permitted. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage or serious injury.

General Venting │ FTV I&O Manual

4.0 GENERAL VENTING

The FTV is certified as a “Category IV” boiler requiring a “Special Venting System” designed for pressurized venting. The Exhaust Vent must be piped to the outdoors, using the vent materials and rules outlined in this section. Under no conditions may this unit vent gases into a masonry chimney, unless it is vacant, and utilizes the approved venting material and rules described in this section.

Removing an Existing Boiler from Common Venting System

Upon removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed for each boiler remaining in the common venting system; prior to commencing this procedure, shutdown all boilers remaining in the common venting system.

Steps to Removing an Existing Boiler:

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

2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch. Verify that there is no blockage,

restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3. Insofar as is practical, close fireplace dampers, all building doors and windows and all doors between the

space in which the boilers remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any boiler 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.

4. Place in operation the boiler being inspected. Follow the applicable lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat

so boiler will operate continuously.

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

match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

6. After it has been determined that each boiler remaining connected to the common venting system properly

vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning boiler to their previous condition of use.

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

the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

Vent and Air-inlet are to be piped separately. The FTV cannot share a common vent or air-inlet with multiple boilers. Failure to comply will result in serious injury or death.

Do not install the FTV into a common venting system with any other boiler. Failure to comply with this warning will cause flue gas spillage and leech carbon monoxide emissions into the surrounding air resulting in serious injury or death.

When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the remaining boilers connected to it. Instructions have been provided on how to remove the existing boiler and how to resize the remaining venting system. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, serious injury or death.

FTV I&O Manual │General Venting

Direct Vent Installation (Best Practice)

When installed as a Direct Vent boiler the combustion air-inlet must also be piped directly to the outdoors using the methods described in this section and in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (U.S.) or CSA B149.1 (Canada) and local requirements.

Installation Using Indoor Combustion Air

When the installation uses Indoor Combustion Air (i.e. piping is not directly connecting the appliance air-inlet fitting to the outdoors), provisions for combustion and ventilation air, in accordance with section “Air for Combustion and Ventilation,” of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (U.S.), or Clause 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 of Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1 (Canada), or applicable provisions of the local building codes, must be adhered to.

The boiler shall be located so as not to interfere with proper circulation of combustion, ventilation, and dilution air.

Make up air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in determining the adequacy of a space to provide combustion air requirements. Failure to ensure adequate make up air to all appliances may result in personal injury or death.

Combustion Air-inlet Contamination

Be careful not to locate the air-inlet termination in an area where contaminants can be drawn in and used for combustion. Combustion air containing dust, debris or air-borne contaminants will drastically increase the required maintenance and may cause a corrosive reaction in the Heat Exchanger which could result in premature failure, fire, serious injury, or death. See Table 4-1 for a list of areas to avoid when terminating air-inlet piping:

Table 4-1 Corrosive Products and Contaminant Sources

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other boiler. Failure to follow instructions may result in serious injury or death.

It is BEST PRACTICE to pipe the combustion air-inlet directly to the outdoors (Direct Vent installation) to avoid contamination often contained in indoor air.

Flammable Solvents and Plastic Piping

Due to the extremely flammable characteristics of most glues, cements, solvents and primers used in the process of joining plastic vent and air-inlet pipe, explosive solvent vapors must be evacuated from the vent and air-inlet prior to start-up. Avoid using excess cement or primer that may lead to pooling inside the pipe assembly. Freshly assembled piping assembly should be allowed to cure for a minimum of 8 hours before applying power to the gas fired boiler. Refer to Mandatory Pre-commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting in this section.

Flammable Cements and Primers – It is the installers’ responsibility to familiarize themselves with the hazards associated with explosive solvents and to take all precautions to reduce these risks. Failure to follow these instructions can cause explosions, property damage, injury or death.

Page 12

General Venting │ FTV I&O Manual

Mandatory Pre-commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting (PVC or CPVC)

Do not apply power to the boiler prior to Step 4 in the Mandatory Pre-commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting.

1) Working with the power turned off to the boiler, completely install the vent and air-intake system, securely

cementing joints together. If possible, allow primers/cements to cure for 8 hours before firing the burner. If curing time is less than 8 hours, proceed with Steps 2 through 6.

2) Maintain the boiler gas supply shut-off valve in the off position.

3) Remove the cable from the Spark Ignition Electrode and Ignition Controller.

Spark Ignition Circuit - Maintain a safe distance (2 in. minimum) from the spark ignition circuit to avoid injury from electrical shock.

4) Turn power on to the boiler and apply a heat demand.

5) Allow for 5 complete trials for ignition, consisting of pre and post purge of the combustion blower, until an

ignition lockout occurs. Repeat the process one more time (i.e. 10 complete ignition sequences in total).

6) Turn power off and reconnect the cable to the Spark Ignition Transformer.

Near Boiler Vent/Air-inlet Piping

The FTV employs universal Exhaust-vent and Air-inlet appliance adapters that accept 3 in. PVC/CPVC, Polypropylene (PP) or FasNSeal Stainless Steel (SS) piping, without the need for additional adapters. The universal adapters incorporate three seals, one for 3 in. PVC/CPVC pipe (3.5 in. OD), one for 3 in. PP pipe (3.15 in. OD) and one for 3 in. FasNSeal SS pipe (3 in. OD). See Figure 4-2(a) for gasket identification and pipe insertion depth based on pipe material used. Prior to inserting the piping into the universal adapter, ensure it is properly bevel (approximately 1/8 in.) to avoid damaging or dislodging the sealing gasket during installation; see Figure 4-2(b).

Gasket Seating - Improper seating can cause leakage and eventual failure of the sealing gasket. Ensure the vent pipe is properly beveled, prior to installation, and that the pipe is fully inserted into universal appliance adapter. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

PVC/CPVC Piping – Ensure the upper gasket of the universal appliance adapter is in place and properly

positioned prior to installation. Ensure the venting system does not apply a load or strain on the boiler flue outlet adapter; recommend using two elbows to create a “swing joint” to reduce potential strain on vent piping and cemented joints. When exhaust venting with PVC, use the supplied 5” long CPVC Transition Pipe provided with the boiler; insert the CPVC pipe into the exhaust adapter and cement the other end to the PVC exhaust venting using a field supplied PVC or CPVC coupling. See Figures 4-3(a) and 4-3(b).

PVC Exhaust Venting – DO NOT insert PVC pipe directly into the appliance exhaust adapter, as it can deform from the clamping force of the gear clamp. Failure to follow these instructions may result in gasket failure and/or the dislodging of the exhaust pipe from the appliance adapter, resulting in property damage, serious injury or death.

PP Piping – Ensure the middle gasket of the universal appliance adapter is in place and properly positioned

prior to installation. Ensure the venting system does not apply a load or strain on the boiler flue outlet adapter; recommend using an elbow with an offset to reduce potential strain on vent piping and cemented joints. See Figure 4-3(c).

Stainless Steel Piping – The FTV universal appliance adapter is designed to connect directly to DuraVent –

FasNSeal AL29-4C Stainless Steel Special Gas Vent. Ensure the lower gasket of the universal appliance adapter is in place and properly positioned prior to installation. Ensure the venting system does not apply a load or strain on the boiler flue outlet adapter; recommend using two elbows to create a “swing joint” to reduce potential strain on vent piping and cemented joints. See Figure 4-3(d).

Exhaust venting must be supported to reduce strain on piping joints. Failure to follow these instructions may result in result in damage, serious injury or death.

In Canada, the first 3 ft (915 mm) of vent piping must be readily accessible for inspection.

Termination Options – Direct Vent Installation

The venting system of the FTV boilers may be terminated using field supplied piping to construct a “Two-Pipe” termination, see Figures 4-4(a), 4-5(a), 4-5(d), 4-6(a), 4-7(a) and 4-7(d); alternatively the venting may be terminated using a factory kit selected from Table 4-5.

Optional Termination Kits – Direct Vent Installation Kits certified with the FTV are listed in Table 4-5 and available from the manufacturers listed in Table 4-4. Kits

with an NTI part number listed in Table 4-5, are available directly from NTI.

Table 4-4 Optional Termination Kit OEMs

Sidewall Termination - Due to potential moisture loading (build-up) along the exterior

wall, sidewall venting may not be the preferred venting option. Refer to Figures 4-5 and 4-7 for roof top venting options.

The vent for this appliance shall not terminate over public walkways; or near soffit vents or crawl space vents or other area where condensate of vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or cause property damage; or where condensate or vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.

Extra precaution must be taken to adequately support the weight of the Vent/Air-inlet piping in applications using roof-top terminations. Failure to follow these instructions may result in venting or boiler component failure resulting in flue gas spillage leading to property damage, serious injury or death.

FTV I&O Manual │General Venting

Venting Rules and Guidelines

1. Prevailing Winds: Ensure the vent is located where it will not be exposed to normal prevailing winds.

2. Combustion Air-inlet Contamination: Air for combustion must be drawn from an area free of dust and

contaminants. Combustion air containing chemicals such as chloride, fluoride, bromine or iodine or dust and debris will cause corrosion damage of the heat exchanger voiding your NTI warranty. Refer to Table 4-1 for a list of corrosive products and contaminants sources to avoid.

3. Vertical Separation: The exhaust must be a minimum of 18 in. above the air-inlet, and the air-inlet must

always be a minimum of 12 in. plus snow allowance above any surface that will support snow. (Two feet plus snow allowance is highly recommended). Consult your weather office for the maximum typical snowfall for your region. Example: New Brunswick Canada - typical maximum snowfall is 19 in., thus the inlet must be (12”+19”) = 31 in. above grade and exhaust must be (31”+18”) = 49” above grade.

4. Horizontal Separation: The horizontal distance between the inlet and exhaust must be a minimum of 4”

[102 mm] center to center.

5. Wall Flashing: Under normal operating conditions this boiler will produce a plume of white gases, and

should be taken into consideration when selecting an adequate location. A 36 in. diameter stainless, plastic, or vinyl shield can be used to flash the exterior of the residence.

6. Flue Gas Hazard: Position the vent termination where vapors cannot make accidental contact with people

and pets or damage nearby shrubs and plants.

7. Elbow Extensions: Elbows on outside of wall must be no more than ½ in. away from the wall.

8. Vent Sloping: All indoor exhaust piping must be on a slope back to the boiler a minimum of ¼ in. per

linear foot of vent. For applications where excessive condensation is possible ½ in. per linear foot is recommended.

9. Vent Supports: Where required Vent and Air-inlet piping shall be secured to the wall for more rigidity. All

interior vent pipe shall be supported a minimum of every 36 in..

10. Roof Exhaust: In all roof applications the discharge must point away from the pitch of the roof.

11. Roof Flashing: Install adequate flashing where the pipe enters the roof, to prevent water leakage.

12. Rain Cap: Install and seal a rain cap over existing chimney openings, in vacant chimney applications.

13. Venting Below Grade: For installations that exit the wall below grade refer to Figure 4-8.

14. Vent Screens: Install factory supplied vent screens on the outside of the last elbow for both the inlet and

exhaust vent terminal elbows. Install the screen into the female opening of the elbow, and then cut a small piece of pipe to sandwich the screen into the elbow. NOTE: ensure the small piece of pipe cut, does not extend past the end of the elbow. Two screens are provided in the package. See Figures 4-6 and 4-7.

15. Condensate Hazard: Do not locate vent over public walkways, driveways or parking lots. Condensate

could drip and freeze resulting in a slip hazard or damage to vehicles and machinery.

16. Warning Plate: For Sidewall Venting, install the warning plate “Gas Vent Directly Below”, directly above

(within 4 ft. vertically) the location of the air-inlet pipe, so it is visible from at least 8 ft away. See Figure 4-

17. Wall Thickness: Direct vent terminations are designed to work with any standard wall thickness.

Installation guidelines for min/max wall thickness are as follows: Min. = 1 in., Max. = 60 in..

18. Venting Options: Due to potential moisture loading (build-up) along the exterior wall, sidewall venting

may not be the preferred venting option. Refer to Figures 4-5 and 4-7 for roof top venting options.

Page 24

Figure 4-8 Venting Below Grade

For installations that exit the wall below grade:

1. Excavate site to a point below where the pipes

are to exit as shown.

2. Ensure the wall is fully sealed where the pipes

penetrate.

3. The Vent/Air-inlet piping MUST be secured to

the side of the building above grade, as shown, to provide rigidity.

4. Ensure that the Vent/Air-inlet clearances are

maintained, see Section 5.0 for details.

Figure 4-9 Outdoor Venting

Vent piping outside the building is permitted under the following conditions:

1. The maximum length outside the building is 20 ft.

Note that outdoor length must be included in the overall vent length calculation.

2. All normal termination clearances are maintained.

3. The pipe is supported every 24 in..

4. The exhaust and inlet are sloped back to the boiler

½ in. elevation for every linear foot.

Figure 4-10 Existing Chimney Chase Way

It is permissible to use an existing chimney as a chase way to run the Vent/Air-inlet piping as long as:

1. The chimney is not being used by any other

boiler.

2. Flue gases do not enter the vacant chimney.

3. Only FTV certified venting materials are used,

see Table 4-2.

4. Vent lengths are within the maximums specified.

5. The top of the chimney is capped and the

Vent/Air-inlet pipes are flashed to prevent leakage into the vacant chimney.

4 - For US installations, an exhaust vent must be 3 ft above a mechanical air supply inlet if within 10 ft. [3 m] horizontally. 5 - Horizontal clearance must be observed up to a height of 15 ft. [4.6 m] above/below the meter, regulator, or relief devices. 6 - Concentric Vent must protrude from the roof precisely 24” [610 mm] measuring from the terminal end-cap vanes. 7 - Permitted if veranda, porch, deck, or balcony is made of concrete and a minimum of two sides are fully open beneath. 8 - 24” is the recommended snow level allowance above grade/roofline or any surface that will support snow, debris, or ice

(i.e. for roof venting clearances - roofline and snow level). If living in a snowfall region, consult your local weather

office for the maximum typical snowfall for your area.

9 - Note that the vent must maintain a minimum vertical distance above the air-inlet. Example: Vent height = 18” (457

mm) above air-inlet + 12” (305 mm) for air-inlet above grade/roof line and snow level = 30” (762 mm) above grade

and snow level.

10 - Clearances to an outside corner to be in accordance with local installation codes. 11 - In Canada, concentric vent materials are subject to approval by local inspectors. See Termination Kits in Section 4.0.

12 - Above public walkways, driveways or parking lots if adjacent to it and condensate cannot drip, freeze, or create a hazard. 13 - Contact the manufacturer for special exemptions relating to multiple boiler installations using concentric vents.

FTV I&O Manual │Condensate Drain

6.0 CONDENSATE DRAIN

The FTV boilers produce liquid condensate in the heat exchanger and venting system as a product of combustion. Steps must be taken to ensure condensate does not collect in the venting system; therefore, all exhaust piping must slope back to the boiler a minimum ¼ in. per linear foot of vent. Condensate must be drained from the unit into a household drain.

Check with your municipality, or local gas company to determine if the disposal of combustion condensate is permitted in your area (e.g. in the State of Massachusetts the

The following are important notes that must be taken into consideration when constructing the condensate drain system (see Condensate Trap Installation Instructions for further details):

 DO NOT install condensate lines outside. A frozen or blocked drain will cause the condensate to back-up

and leak. This may result in damage to boiler components resulting in a no heat condition; property damage may also occur.

 NEVER use copper, steel, or galvanized piping in the construction of the condensate system (condensate is

very corrosive and will corrode most metals).

 When a condensate pump is used or required, select a pump that is designed for residential furnaces.

Condensate Trap Installation Instructions (see Figure 6-1)

(Note: the Condensate Trap is factory supplied with the boiler and must be field installed)

1. Inspect Condensate Trap Assembly – Inspect the Condensate Trap to ensure all parts were shipped with

the assembly (see Figure 6-1). The Condensate Trap must be periodically disassembled and cleaned as part of a regular maintenance plan.

2. Attach Corrugated Outlet Tube – Remove the Outlet Retaining Nut and Outlet Gasket and slide

components onto the Corrugated Outlet Tube – note orientation (gasket should be positioned approximately 1/8” from the edge of the outlet tube – see Figure 6-1). Press the Corrugated Outlet Tube into the Condensate Trap Outlet and firmly hand-tighten the Outlet Retaining Nut.

3. Attach to Boiler Condensate Drain (A) – Ensure the Ball-float is placed inside the condensate trap,

position the Inlet Gasket in between the condensate trap and boiler condensate outlet (See Figure 6-1).

4. Attach to Boiler Condensate Drain (B) – Secure the Condensate Trap into place by firmly hand-

tightening the Inlet Retaining Nut.

5. Outlet to Drain – Route the condensate from the Corrugated Outlet Tube to a household drain, condensate

pump or neutralizer (check with your local authority regarding the disposal of condensate), being careful NOT to route it higher than the Condensate Trap outlet (see Figure 6-1).

condensate must be neutralized prior to entering a drain).

All tubing, drains and surfaces that come in contact with condensate draining from the boiler, must be constructed out of corrosion resistant material; copper, steel and galvanized are not acceptable materials for draining condensate. Failure to abide by this caution will result in property damage.

The Condensate Trap must be periodically disassembled and cleaned as part of a regular maintenance plan. Failure to clean the trap regularly can cause condensate drain blockage leading to boiler malfunction, property damage and even personal injury.

Carefully follow the above instructions and the accompanying figure – check to ensure the condensate trap is secure to the bottom of the boiler and that no strain is placed on it. Failure to install the condensate trap properly will result in flue gas spillage and leeching of carbon monoxide emissions into the surroundings resulting in serious injury or death.

FTV I&O Manual │Lighting the Boiler

7.0 INSTALLING GAS PIPING

FTV boilers are factory set to operate with Natural Gas; BEFORE OPERATING WITH PROPANE, the boiler must be converted using the appropriate Natural to LP

Conversion Kit; see Table 7-1. Failure to properly convert the unit to safely operate with Propane will cause dangerous burner operation, resulting in property damage, serious

Table 7-1 Natural Gas to LP Conversion Kit

injury or death. Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air. Do not install the boiler in a pit

or similar location that will permit heavier than air gas to collect. Check with Local Codes as they may require boilers fueled with LP gas to be provided with an approved means of removing unburned gases from the room. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

Installation

Refer to the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or CAN/CGA B149.1 installation codes, and local codes for gas piping requirements and sizing. Pipe size running to the unit depends on:

 Length of pipe.  Number of fittings.  Type of gas.  Maximum input requirement of all gas boilers in the residence.

Ensure that:

 The gas line connection to the boiler does not apply any weight to the gas valve. NTI recommends using

approved flexible gas piping (if acceptable by local codes) to connect the boiler to the gas supply (see Figure 7-1 for details).

 You plan the installation so the piping does not interfere with the vent pipe, or the removal of the valve,

burner, and serviceable components.

 The Boiler is installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping,

spraying, rain etc.) during installation and servicing.

 The gas piping is large enough for all the gas appliances in the home. No appreciable drop in line pressure

should occur when any unit (or combination of units) lights or runs. Use common gas-line sizing practices.

 Always use a pipe-threading compound that is resistant to Propane (LP) gas solvent action. Apply sparingly

to all male threads, starting at two threads from the end. Over doping or applying dope to the female end, can result in a blocked gas line.

 DO NOT TIGHTEN FITTINGS WITHOUT SUPPORTING THE INTERNAL GAS LINE CONNECTION

WITHIN THE BOILER as damage to the boiler’s internal gas carrying components could occur.

 Install a manual “Equipment Shut-Off Valve” as shown in Figure 7-1. Valve must be listed by a nationally

recognized testing laboratory.

 The gas line piping can safely be removed from the boiler for servicing, by strategically placing the gas line

shutoff and union; see example in Figure 7-1.

 All gas piping, including gas components in the boiler, are checked for leaks using a “Bubble Test”, prior to

operating the boiler.

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

Do not use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Failure to follow these instructions may

result in fire, property damage, serious injury or death.

Rigid Gas Line Piping

Use only rigid gas line piping within the boiler cabinet. Rigid piping must protrude beyond the outside of the cabinet wall.

Lighting the Boiler│ FTV I&O Manual

When performing a pressure test on the gas line piping, be sure the boiler is disconnected or isolated if the test pressure is expected to exceed 1/2 PSI (14 in. w.c.), as damage to the gas valve could occur resulting in fire, property damage, serious injury or death.

Page 31

FTV I&O Manual │Lighting the Boiler

8.0 LIGHTING THE BOILER

Before Start-up refer to Mandatory Pre-commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting in Section 4.0. Failure to follow these instructions can result in explosions, injury or death.

Prior to turning the gas supply on and lighting the boiler, ensure all aspects of the installation are complete and in conformance with the instructions provided in this manual, including the Vent/Air-inlet, Condensate Drain, and System Water Piping.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS_

TO TURN OFF GAS TO THE BOILER_

Page 32

Lighting the Boiler│ FTV I&O Manual

 Ensure the boiler is wired in accordance with this manual.  Ensure the gas shutoff valve is turned on, and that the gas system has been fully tested for leaks.  Ensure the system is completely filled with water, and that ALL the air is purged out.  Ensure the Vent and Air-inlet piping is completely installed in accordance with this manual.

Initial Start-Up

Each time the power is turned on to the boiler, the control will go through a “de-air” sequence designed to purge air from the boiler. The de-air sequence takes 14 minutes to execute, during which time the circulators will be operating in a cyclical manner and the burner will not attempt to function. Once the de-air sequence has been executed at least once, subsequent de-air sequences can be bypassed by holding the “OK” button until “de-Air” is no longer displayed on the screen; see Section 17.0 for more details.

1. Turn on power to the boiler and turn-up the Thermostat(s). The boiler should run through a purge, and

combustion should occur. (The control system has a built-in ignition retry, allowing the system to try at least five times, before locking-out).

2. With the unit operating at full capacity, verify that the gas line pressure is 4-10.5 inches w.c. for Natural gas,

and 9-13 inches w.c. for Propane (see Section 9.0 for details).

3. Using an appropriate Oxygen (O2) or Carbon Dioxide (CO2) analyzer, take a sample of the flue gas. The

sample must fall within the acceptable ranges for CO2 (see Section 9.0 for details).

4. Perform at least three ignitions in succession to ensure proper operation.

5. After the three successive ignitions, unplug the flame sensor and allow the unit to cycle again. The flame

safety system will allow the unit to go through 5 ignition cycles before going to “Loc 1”. Once you have confirmed this behavior, reinstall the wire on the flame sensor, press the reset button and reconfirm proper ignition.

Re-lighting Unit

1. Stop and read these instructions very carefully.

2. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting, and then turn off all power to the boiler.

3. This boiler does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device that automatically lights the burner.

Do not try to light the burner by hand.

4. Turn the gas shutoff valve to the off position, and then remove the front cover.

5. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then check for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas

“Stop” and follow “B” above (see FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE OPERATING). If you do not detect any gas proceed to the next step.

6. Turn the gas shutoff valve to the on position, wait an addition five (5) minutes and check for gas.

7. Replace the front cover.

8. Set the thermostat to the highest setting, and then turn on all power to the boiler.

9. Ignition sequence is automatic, combustion will occur after a brief fan purge. Ignition will retry 3 times.

10. If ignition does not occur, “Turn off the gas and electricity to the boiler” and contact a qualified service

technician, or gas supplier.

The initial lighting of the boiler must be performed by a licensed Gas Technician. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, serious injury or death.

Allow primers/cements to cure for 8 hours prior to Start-up. If curing time is less than 8 hours, first perform Steps 2 through 6 of Mandatory Pre-commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting in Section 4.0. Failure to follow these instructions can result in explosion, serious injury or death.

The flame probe is located in the burner plate; it has a single white/semi-transparent wire connected to it. DO NOT remove the orange spark cable from the ignition electrode (also located in the burner plate); this device is used for spark ignition and produces 20,000 Volts potential which would result in an EXTREME ELECTRICAL SHOCK possibly causing serious injury or death.

If the unit fails to light consistently and smoothly, contact NTI for technical assistance at 1-800-688-2575. Never allow the boiler to operate if the ignition or operation of the burner is rough or erratic. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

9.0 GAS VALVE AND BURNER SET-UP

Set-up of the FTV gas valve must be performed by a licensed Gas Technician. Failure to perform the set-up correctly may result in incorrect operation, component failure,

Gas Line Pressure

The boiler gas valve is equipped with a line pressure test port; see Figure 9-1. Use the following procedure to measure the gas line pressure to the boiler to ensure if falls within the range given in Table 9-1:

1. Turn the supply of gas to the boiler off.

2. Open the bleed screw of the line pressure test port approximately 1-1/2 turns. This port is directly connected

to the gas line feeding the boiler. See Figure 9-1.

3. Force ¼ in. ID tubing over the housing of the line pressure test port; install the other end of the tubing to an

appropriate line pressure test gauge or manometer. Ensure both ends of the tubing make a tight connection.

4. Open the supply of gas to the boiler and check for gas leaks.

5. Observe the line pressure under static conditions and compare it to Table 9-1. The pressure will be greatest

under static conditions.

6. With all other gas appliances in the application running, operate the burner to the maximum firing rate (see

Table 9-2) and compare the observed line pressure with Table 9-1. The pressure will be lowest during the maximum flow of gas.

7. Adjust the gas line pressure to ensure the parameters in Table 9-1 are attained under all conditions (see

NOTICE below). If possible adjust the line pressure to the "Nominal/Desired" value listed in Table 9-1, while the unit is operating at the maximum modulation rate, see Table 9-2.

8. Continue observing the gas line pressure until the completion of the combustion analyses, in case

adjustments need to be made.

9. Complete pressure testing, and then return the bleed screw of the Line Pressure Test Port to the closed

position.

Table 9-1 Line Pressure and Combustion Parameters

property damage, serious injury or death.

The line pressure is a function of the gas supply and is affected solely by field provided parameters such as line size and regulator settings. Under no circumstances can the boiler gas valve influence or be used to adjust the gas line pressure.

Failure to close the bleed screw of the Line Pressure Test Port will cause a severe leakage of gas, resulting in a fire or explosion causing property damage, serious injury or death.

Adjustment

Throttle / Input Screw Adjustments - The boiler is equipped with a Throttle/Input Adjustment Screw, located

on the Gas Valve. It is used to adjust the flow of gas leaving the gas valve entering the Venturi and then the combustion air stream. Turn the Throttle screw in (clockwise) to reduce the flow of gas, make combustion leaner, and reduce the concentration of CO2 in the flue gases. Turn the Throttle screw out (counterclockwise) to increase the CO2 level and flow of gas in the combustion air stream. Typical adjustment required is 0-1/2 of a turn in or out from the factory setting. See Figure 9-1 for Throttle screw location and Table 9-1 for appropriate CO2 levels.

Combustion Calibration - To calibrate burner operation, perform the following procedure using a calibrated

combustion analyzer capable of measuring CO2 and CO from Natural and Propane Gas burning boilers:

1. Operate the unit at the maximum modulation rate, see Table 9-2. NOTICE: the modulation rates must

be adjusted for models FTV110 & FTV110C operating with Propane; this is accomplished by adjusting the Appliance Number to the value provided in Table 9-2 – see section titled “Controller Replacement Instructions” on page 74 of these Instructions.

2. Ensure the gas line pressure is maintained within tolerance, see Table 9-1.

3. While at the maximum modulation rate, measure the CO2 and CO; adjust as necessary, using the Throttle

Screw, to be within the limits listed in Table 9-1.

4. Operate the unit at the minimum modulation rate (see Table 9-2). Ensure the combustion remains

smooth and CO2 and CO values are lower than the values obtained during maximum modulation, per notes in Table 9-1. If not, do not adjust further, contact NTI for assistance.

Flue Gas Analysis and Adjustment

Each FTV is factory set to operate with Natural Gas, for boilers field converted to operate with Propane Gas, a flue gas analysis and adjustment is mandatory. See Table 7-1 for the correct Natural Gas to LP Conversion Kit.

Analysis – Perform flue gas analysis, and adjust throttle/input screw as required until CO2 and CO levels are

within acceptable limits.

serious injury or death. Manifold Pressure - DO NOT adjust or measure the Manifold Pressure of the boiler.

Correct manifold pressure is factory set. Field adjustment could result in improper burner operation resulting in fire, explosion, property damage or death.

Adjustments to the Throttle/Input Screw may only be made by a qualified gas technician, while using a calibrated combustion analyzer capable of measuring CO2 and CO. Adjustments may only be performed if the gas line pressure is maintained above minimum levels throughout the duration of the test, see Table 9-1. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

Failure to perform the flue gas analysis and adjustment detailed in this section may result in erratic and unreliable burner operation, leading to reduced efficiency, increased fuel consumption, reduced component life, heat exchanger combustion deposits, and general unsafe operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

FTV I&O Manual │Boiler and Heating System Piping

10.0 BOILER AND HEATING SYSTEM PIPING

The fire tube design of the FTV heat exchanger results in minimal head loss, however it must be considered when sizing system piping and circulators. Furthermore, the low mass of the FTV heat exchanger requires a minimum flow rate anytime the burner is operating. To maintain the efficient and reliable operation of the heat exchanger, and to avoid heat exchanger failure, it is critical to ensure the rules and guidelines in this section are followed.

Failure to follow the instructions provided in this section will void the NTI warranty and may result in property damage, fire, serious injury or death.

Water Quality

Water Quality is important to the proper operation and lifespan of the boiler; the information on water quality provided in this document must be followed. Damage caused by failure to follow these requirements will not be covered by the warranty.

During installation and yearly maintenance, the water quality must be checked. Common water quality heat exchanger failures, are easily prevented when properly addressed.

Follow these system water best practices:

- Test system fill water and understand what you are putting into the system.

- Ensure that there is adequate air elimination in the system.

- Treat all boiler feed water as though it is hard water.

- Use chemical inhibitors on every job (note: some glycols contain inhibitors – do not mix dissimilar inhibitors).

- Flush old and new systems with fresh clean water before commissioning a new boiler.

- Use magnetic dirt separators on systems containing large amounts of iron.

- Use Dirt Separators to remove debris from system water.

- Where possible, treat boiler feed water.

- Repair system leaks immediately to prevent oxygen (air) and untreated water from entering the system.

Proper equipment must be used to test the water. Digital meters are highly recommended because they can be calibrated. The use of test strips is not recommended because they degrade over time and can be influenced by many factors.

System Cleaning – Existing and new heating systems must be cleaned with a hydronic system cleaner; see list

of recommended hydronic system cleaners below; equivalent products from other manufacturers may also be used. System cleaner must be drained and thoroughly flushed with clean water to remove any residual cleaner, prior to installing a new boiler. NEVER leave a system cleaner for longer than recommended by the manufacturer of the cleaner; follow the instructions provided by the system cleaner manufacturer.

• Noble Noburst Hydronic System Cleaner

• Fernox F3 Cleaner (NTI part no. 83449)

• Rhomar Hydro-Solv 9100

• Sentinel X400

Air Elimination – A micro bubble air elimination device must be installed on every boiler installation.

Automatic air-vents alone are not an acceptable substitute for a micro bubble air elimination device. Below are a few examples of acceptable devices.

• Spirovent

• Taco 4900 series

• Caleffi Discal

Automatic feed valves should not be left open indefinitely. In the event of a leak, an automatic feed valve will continue to supply fresh untreated water into the heating system. Fresh water contains both oxygen and added minerals, one or both of these could lead to scaling and/or corrosion of the heat exchanger.

Boiler and Heating System Piping │ FTV I&O Manual

Dirt Removal – A dirt removal device should be installed in all systems. In older systems containing cast iron

radiators/baseboard or large amount black iron or steel pipe, a magnetic dirt separator must be installed.

Glycol, Snow Melt, and Oxygen Permeable Piping – When freeze protection is required, only multi metal

inhibited propylene glycol, at a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 50%, is allowed for use with boiler system. If the boiler is being used with a snow melt system that requires a concentration of glycol higher than 50%, then a plate heat exchanger is required to separate the snow melt system from the boiler water. Note: the use of glycol may reduce the usable output capacity of the boiler, thus requiring the unit to be “down-fired” by limiting the maximum operating capacity and/or the maximum water temperature. If oxygen permeable piping (non-oxygen barrier tubing) is used in the system a plate heat exchanger is required to separate it from the boiler water.

Water Treatment – When filling the boiler system, the water must be tested. Table 10-1 outlines the

parameters that should be tested for, and the corresponding ranges that are permitted. Water quality that does not fall within the stated ranges will void the warranty of the boiler. Utilize proper testing equipment, such as digital meters, to verify water quality.

Inhibitors should be used for all installations in both new and existing heating systems. Follow the instructions provided by the inhibitor manufacturer when adding to the system to ensure the correct concentration. A list of approved inhibitors is provided below.

• Rhomar Pro-tek 922

• Sentinel X100

• Fernox Protector F1 (NTI part no. 83448)

Ethylene glycol is prohibited for use with the boiler, only inhibited propylene glycol is allowed for use with the boiler.

Never use petroleum based compounds in the system for cleaning or sealing.

(when required by local authorities)

Install the LWCO in a suitable tee (reference installation instructions provided with the LWCO) as illustrated. DO NOT install isolation valves between the boiler and the LWCO. The LWCO switch must be wired to break the boiler limit circuit or line power to the boiler (see Section

12.0 – Field Wiring). NTI offers the following LWCO kit p/n 85253. When the installation is complete, TEST THE

LWCO to ensure the burner shuts down when the water level drops.

FTV I&O Manual │Boiler and Heating System Piping

Near Boiler Plumbing (Central Heating)

FTV boilers are intended solely for use in pressurized closed-loop heating systems operating with a minimum pressure of 12 PSI at the boiler outlet. Carefully follow the instructions and piping diagrams illustrated in this section.

Pressure Relief Valve – A Pressure Relief Valve is factory supplied with each unit, and must be field installed

in the vertical position, with the outlet facing horizontally and piped towards the floor away from where it could be harmful; see Figure 10-2(a). NOTICE: FTV boilers have a maximum allowable operating pressure of 50 PSI.

Pressure & Temperature Gauge – FTV boilers come with a factory supplied Pressure and Temperature

Gauge. The gauge must be installed at the boiler outlet prior to any circulators. See Figures 10-2(b), 10-2(c), and 10-2(d).

Auto Air Vent – Install the factory supplied auto air vent directly above the outlet fitting on the top of the unit as

illustrated in Figure 10-2(a). Open the auto air vent’s vent-cap to promote the removal of air during commissioning of the boiler and to avoid malfunctioning of the LWCO. Once the air is removed from the system, close the vent-cap to prevent water from leaking onto the boiler.

Low Water Cutoff (LWCO) – FTV boilers are provided with a factory installed Water Pressure Sensor. The

sensor provides a reading of the boiler inlet water pressure on the display; in the event the pressure drops below 7 PSI, the control will go to a blocking error “FILL”, inhibiting burner operation. Where required by the Authority having jurisdiction, an external LWCO may have to be installed; see Figure 10-1.

FTV boilers are not approved for operation in an “open system,” thus it cannot be used for direct potable water heating or process heating of any kind.

If installed in the incorrect orientation (horizontally with drain pipe out the bottom) the relief valve may not function properly resulting in property damage or personal injury.

Ensure the discharge of the pressure relief is piped to a location where the steam or water will not cause property damage or serious injury.

Boiler System Plumbing

FTV boilers use a low mass heat exchanger that requires a minimum rate of forced water circulation any time the burner is operating (See Table 10-2 for minimum flow rate requirements). To ensure the minimum flow rate is attained, NTI strongly recommends installing the boiler in a “Primary/Secondary” plumbing configuration utilizing “Closely Spaced Tees” or a “Low Loss Header” to de-couple the Boiler-Primary loop from the SystemSecondary loop(s). See the examples of Primary/Secondary Loop configurations in Figures 10-6 through 10-9.

Table 10-2 Minimum Flow Rate Requirements

Failure to ensure the minimum water flow rate through the boiler when the burner is operating will result in “short-cycling”, reduced performance and operating efficiency, and may also cause overheating and premature failure which will void the warranty. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire, property damage, serious injury or death.

Circulating Pump Outputs – FTV boilers are equipped with three 120VAC pump outputs:

1. DHW PUMP – operates during a Domestic Hot Water (DHW) demand. The DHW PUMP output is not

used on Combi models.

2. CH PUMP – operates during a Central Heat (CH) demand.

3. BOILER PUMP – operates during any demand. The internal pump for Combi models is factory wired to

the BOILER PUMP output.

Use of these circulator outputs will depend on the system configuration selected; see Figures 10-6 through 10-9. For further pump output details and wiring instructions see Section 12.0.

Circulators responsible for forcing water flow through the boiler must be sized to account for the head loss of the boiler and boiler piping at the required flow rate; see Table 10-3 and Figure 10-5.

Internal Circulating Pump (FTV-Combi Only) – the FTV-Combi encorporates the ciculating pump

responsible for forcing water flow through the boiler, an can be utilized in one of two configurations:

1. Primary/Secondary – the internal circulator drives flow through the boiler only; see Figures 10-8 and 10-9.

2. Direct to Zones – the internal circulator drives flow through the boiler and the distribution system; see

Figure 10-10. This configuration is limited to zone valve (or non-zone circulator) distribution systems with small flow requirements, i.e., systems requiring no more than 6 GPM at 9 ft. of head pressure. Plot the expected head-loss of the distribution system against the “FTV-Combi Available Pump Head” curve (Figure 10-4) to verify sufficient performance; NOTICE: if the available head from the internal pump cannot support the needs of the distribution system, then a Primary/Secondary configuration must be utilized.

Pressure Bypass Valve – to avoid no/low water flow occurances in applications of the FTV-Combi in “Direct to Zone” configurations must fully utilize the FTV-Combi’s internal pressure bypass valve. The internal pressure bypass valve is utilized by

adjusting the manual bypass valve to “MAX”; see Figure 10-3.

Table 10-3 Boiler Pipe Size Requirements

Expansion Tank – The expansion tank must be sized in accordance with the water volume of the system as well

as the firing rate of the appliance. It is important to locate the expansion tank, and make-up water fill, on the inlet side of any circulator in the system, as doing so will guarantee the lowest pressure in the system will be at least equal to the tank and make-up water pressure. See examples in Figures 10-6 through 10-10.

Ensure the expansion tank cannot become isolated from the boiler anytime the system is operating. The installation of flow checks, motorized valves or other shutoff devices (other than for the purpose of servicing) are not permitted between the outlet of the boiler

Indirect Fired Water Heater – When installed as per Figure 10-7, the indirect fired water heater is in series

with the boiler during a demand for DHW. Therefore, its head loss, along with the head loss of the boiler and associated piping, must be considered when sizing the circulator.

and the expansion tank; see Figures 10-6 through 10-10. Failure to follow these instructions may result in discharge of the Pressure Relief Valve resulting in property damage or personal injury.

11.0 DOMESTIC HOT WATER (DHW) PIPING – COMBI ONLY DHW Description of Operation

FTV Combi models incorporate a DHW heat exchanger (Brazed Plate) and the controls necessary to heat DHW without requiring a separate water heater. When the internal flow sensor detects potable water flow in excess of

0.3gpm the controller operates in DHW mode, whereby the potable water is heated to the “DHW Setpoint” (Installer Menu setting 2-07). Set “DHW Setpoint” to the desired hot water temperature; to avoid the risk of scalding a Thermostatic Mixing Valve MUST be installed, see Figure 11-1.

Thermostatic Mixing Valve – due to the potentially high hot water temperatures exiting the water heater, a thermostatic mixing valve (or equivalent anti-scald device) must be installed according to Figure 11-1, local code and the installation instructions provided with the the thermostatic mixing valve, to reduce scald hazard potential. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

Scald Hazard - Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. There is a hot water scald potential if a thermostatic mixing valve is not used or is set too high. Be sure to follow the adjustment instructions provided with the thermostatic mixing valve. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

A scald injury can occur when hot steam or liquid makes contact with one or more layers

of skin. Scald severity (degree of burn) is directly impacted by exposure time and

temperature. Refer to Table 11-1. The following basic precautions are common sense:

 Young children and elderly adults burn more quickly and should use cooler water.  Never leave a child alone while drawing water in a bathtub.  Test the water temperature before bathing or showering.  Turn cold water on first and then add hot water until the temperature is comfortable.

DHW Preheat Mode

For improved domestic hot water comfort, the FTV-Combi incorporates a “Preheat Mode” feature (Installer Menu setting 2-10). When set to ON the boiler control will function to keep the DHW preheated to limit the wait time associated with a tankless hot water system.

Preheat Operation – Once per hour, the controller will operate the boiler in DHW mode, firing the burner at

minimum power until the boiler Return achieves a temperature within 25°F of the DHW setpoint. Note: if the DHW or boiler Return temperature is within 34°F of the DHW Setpoint, Preheat mode will not initiate.

DHW Plumbing (FTV-Combi)

DHW Inlet & Outlet Connections – The FTV-Combi has two potable water connections, Inlet & Outlet, which

exit the bottom of the unit, nearest the back. The Inlet fitting is on the right and the Outlet fitting is on the left, see Figure 11-1.

DHW Filter – Install the factory supplied Y-strainer prior to the inlet fitting, as illustrated in Figure 11-1. The

serviceable Y-strainer has a 100 micron filter and will protect the internals from damage caused by dirt and debris.

Check Valve – The installation of a check valve in the hot water line is recommend to prevent expansion devises

downstream from back flowing when the water pressure drops during cold water draws. Failure to prevent the backflow will cause a momentary forward flow of water through the flow sensor when the cold-water draw has ended and the water pressure increases. This forward flow of water will momentarily activate DHW mode.

Throttling Valve – Use one of the isolation valves, installed hot water line, as a throttle valve to regulate the

maximum hot water flow rate. The FTV-Combi has a limited firing rate (e.g.: only 110 MBH for model FTV110C); therefore excessive flow rates will result in cooler hot water temperatures.

Drain and Isolation Valves – Install drain and isolation valves on the cold water inlet and hot water outlet lines,

as shown in Figure 11-1, to allow for servicing of the internal brazed plate heat exchanger and other potable water components. It will be necessary to flush or clean the brazed plate heat exchanger, if it is exposed to hard water.

12.0 FIELD WIRING

All wiring must be in accordance with the Canadian Electrical code CSA C22.1 and/or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, local codes, and this manual. NOTICE: the boiler must be electrically grounded. The electrical rating of the FTV is 120V / 1 Phase / 60 Hz / 12A.

Power Supply - FTV are designed to be powered using a single phase 120VAC power

supply that is fused (or protected via a circuit breaker) to allow a maximum of 15 Amps.

Wiring Connections

All field wiring connections to the boiler are made at barrier strips located on FTV control panel. The connections are accessed by removing the front door of the boiler, followed by the removal of the control panel cover; see Figure 12-1. Field wiring enters the cabinet through holes located on the bottom of the boiler cabinet, then must be routed through holes in the bottom of the control panel; protect the wires from stain and chaffing by using suitable strain-relief grommets when passing the wiring through the holes. Field wiring connections are to be installed in accordance with instructions provided in Figure 12-2 and Table 12-1.

Controller Fuse (120VAC) – the FTV controller is equipped with a 3.15 Amp fuse that protects most 120VAC

circuits within the boiler, as well as any circulators connected to it. A spare fuse is located to the left of the operating fuse in an open holder; see Figure 12-1.

Blower Fuse (120VAC) – an inline 7 Amp fuse, located in a fuse holder to the left of the ON/OFF power switch

(behind the support bracket), protects the 120VAC circuit of the combustion blower; see Figure 12-1.

Failure to follow instructions may result in component failure, serious injury or death.

Avoid Shocks – To Avoid Electrical Shock, turn off electrical power to the boiler prior to opening any electrical box within the unit. Ensure the power remains off while any wiring connections are being made. Failure to follow these instructions may result in component failure, serious injury or death.

13.0 CASCADE INSTRUCTIONS

The FTV controller has the internal capacity to cascade (lead-lag / stage) up to 16 FTV boilers, without the use of an external controller. Use the instructions detailed in this section to set-up and install the cascade system.

FTV-Combi – cascades heating an Indirect Water Heater (IWH) cannot utilizes an FTV-

Combi as the Manager.

Figure 13-1 Cascade Plumbing Schematic

Page 55

FTV I&O Manual │Boiler and Heating System Piping

Communication Wiring – for each boiler in the cascade, wire in parallel electrical connections Argus Link (-)

and Argus Link (+), terminals 1 and 2 (see Figure 12-2).

Establish Managing Boiler – choose one boiler to be the Managing Boiler, this boiler will receive all control

wiring and will be used for setting control parameters (see steps below). All non-Managing Boilers (Dependents) must have the “S4” switch (located on the top right side of the control) switched OFF. *

*Note: the “S4” switch is factory set to ON. The switch is in the off position when it is closest to the “S4”

marking. The “S4” switch must remain in the ON position on the Managing Boiler.

Plumbing – install the boilers in parallel in a primary/secondary plumbing configuration as illustrated in Figure

13-1.

System Sensor – install a system sensor (NTI p/n: 84010) on the outlet (supply) pipe feeding the heating system,

see Figure 13-1. Wire the system sensor to terminals 3 and 4 of the Managing Boiler (left boiler in illustration).

IMPORTANT: the use of the system sensor is mandatory for proper operation of the boiler cascade system.

Outdoor Sensor – when using an outdoor sensor it must be connected to terminals 3 and 5 of the Managing

boiler (left boiler in illustration); outdoor sensors connected to non-Managing boilers will be ignored.

Boiler Pump – each boiler in the cascade must have its own circulator (see Figure 13-1) which is operated by

each respective boiler, via the BOILER PUMP output (terminal 13). For the FTV-Combi, the Boiler Pump is located within the boiler, so an external circulator is only necessary if the factory supplied LL Header is employed; in this case the external circulator is operated via the CH PUMP output (terminal 12).

CH Pump (System) – the Managing Boiler can control the System’s Central Heating Pump via its CH PUMP

output (terminal 12). IMPORTANT: due to the limited switching capacity of the CH PUMP output, it may be necessary to use an isolation relay to activate the CH Pump, see Table 12-1.

DHW Pump (System) – the Managing Boiler can control the System’s DHW Pump via its DHW PUMP output

(terminal 11). IMPORTANT: due to the limited switching capacity of the DHW PUMP output, it may be necessary to use an isolation relay to activate the DHW Pump, see Table 12-1.

Central Heat Demand Switch (Room Thermostat) – connect to terminals 7 and 8 (THERMOSTAT) of the

Managing Boiler. Switch must be an isolated end switch (dry contact). Central Heat settings are programed from the Managing Boiler only, i.e. Installer menu settings 2-01, 2-02, 2-03, 2-04, 2-05 and 2-06.

Tank Thermostat / Sensor – connect to terminals 3 and 6 of the Managing Boiler. DHW settings are programed

from the Managing Boiler only, i.e. Installer menu settings 2-07, 2-08 and 2-09. Set DHW Mode (Installer menu setting 2-08) according to device used; Thermostat = 2, Sensor = 1.

Boiler Address – assign a unique boiler address for each boiler in the cascade via Installer menu setting 2-20.

Managing boiler must be set = 1; other boilers must be set from 2 to 16.

Rotation Interval – establishes the time, in days, between advancements of the staging sequence of boilers in the

cascade; set via Installer menu setting 2-22 of the Managing Boiler.

Emergency Setpoint – establishes an emergency (back-up) boiler operating setpoint in the event communication

is lost between boilers, or if the system sensor is not connected. Set via Installer menu setting 2-21 of each boiler in the cascade.

Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RFC)

Table 16-1 Handling Instructions for Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RCF)

Personal Protective Equipment Recommended - Read the following warnings and

handling instructions carefully before commencing any service work in the combustion chamber. The insulating material on the inside of the burner plate contains Refractory Ceramic Fibers and should not be handled without personal protective equipment.

Potential Carcinogen - Use of Refractory Ceramic Fibers in high temperature applications (above 1000oC) can result in the formation of Crystalline Silica (cristobalite), a respirable silica dust. Repeated airborne exposure to crystalline silica dust may result in chronic lung infections, acute respiratory illness, or death. Crystalline silica is listed as a (potential) occupational carcinogen by the following regulatory organizations: International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Failure to comply with handling instructions in Table 16-1 may result in serious injury or death.

Crystalline Silica - Certain components confined in the combustion chamber may contain this potential carcinogen. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, serious injury (exposure to hazardous materials) or death. Refer to Table 16-1 for handling instruction and recommended personal protective equipment. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (who must read and follow the supplied instructions before installing, servicing, or removing this boiler. This boiler contains materials that have been identified as carcinogenic, or possibly carcinogenic, to humans).

17.0 DISPLAY MENU GUIDE Initial Power-up

Immediately following power-up of the boiler, the display reads, “conn”, indicating it is connecting to the controller; this is followed by a momentary reading of the display software version, e.g. init 8A94. After which the controller performs a de-air sequence that is designed to purge air from the boiler water. The de-air sequence cycles the circulators off and on, for a period of 14 minutes, in an attempt to free air pockets that may exists in the heat exchanger and boiler piping.

The de-air sequence is initiated following each power-up of the boiler; if air has already been adequately purged from the system the de-air sequence can be stopped by holding the OK button until “dAir” is no longer displayed on the screen, see Figure 17-1.

The de-air sequence is designed to remove air from the system; failure to adequately remove air from the system can damage the heat exchanger and void the warranty, and may lead to property damage and personal injury.

Main Screen

Following power-up of the boiler (after the de-air sequence), or after 60 seconds of inactivity (no buttons pressed), the boiler defaults to the Main Screen, see Figure 17-2. Under normal operating conditions the Main Screen displays the boiler outlet temperature and water pressure, as well as an indication of the current heat demand (CH or DHW), burner status and outdoor reset function. See Figure 17-2 for more details.

Loc 1

Ignition Error – five unsuccessful ignition attempts in a row; perform the following checks:

1. If a new installation, and the burner ignites but immediately goes out, then check polarity of

the120VAC power supply.

2. Check venting for blockages.

3. Check condensate trap from proper draining.

4. Static gas pressure – if insufficient check gas supply-lines and regulator.

5. Gas pressure during ignition – if the static gas pressure is sufficient, check pressure during ignition

sequence, i.e. when gas valve opens.

a. If pressure drops below minimum (4” for NG / 8” for LP), check gas supply-line and regulator. b. If pressure does not move, verify 120VDC at valve during ignition; if no power, check wiring

– replace control; if power is present – replace gas valve.

c. If pressure drops slightly – proceed to next step

6. Unit ignites but immediately goes out – check flame sensor (clean or replace) and flame sensor

cable, clean combustion chamber, replace control. If a combustion analyzer is available, adjust throttle screw out 1 turn – check/adjust combustion once unit is operational.

7. Unit fails to ignite – check spark electrode and cable (replace). Verify the spark electrode is arcing.

WARNING!! – maintain clearance from ignition components while the power is on to avoid risk of severe electrical shock.

8. Check spark igniter gap – gap between electrodes should be 3/16 to ¼ inch.

9. Ensure the gas regulator is a minimum of 6’ upstream of the gas valve of the boiler.

10. Unit ignites and runs – check combustion at maximum and minimum modulation rates.

Controller Replacement Instructions

This section provides important information necessary to successfully replace the boiler controller, NTI p/n 84712, in the event the original controller fails. The replacement controller must be field configured to operate on the FTV boiler model it is being installed on. This is achieved by adjusting the controller’s Appliance Type setting.

Appliance Type – the Appliance Type setting is retained in the boiler controller; the setting determines certain

operating characteristics specific to a particular boiler model, such as combustion blower RPM (i.e. firing rate); see Table 17-4 for a list of Appliance Types and corresponding boiler models.

Table 17-4 Appliance Type Setting by Boiler Model

Replacement Procedure – the replacement controller is factory set with an Appliance Type setting of zero (0);

upon replacement of the control the display will prompt you to set the appliance type, i.e. “tYPE 0” will automatically be displayed on the screen (see Notice below). Adjust to the applicable Appliance Type setting (see Table 17-4) using the UP & DOWN buttons; press the OK button to enter the value. Check the appliance setting via Installer Menu setting 2-11; make sure it matches the correct boiler model as per Table 17-4. Set the remainder of the control settings as desired. Verify proper boiler operation for DHW and Central Heat demands.

Appliance Selection Method – to change the Appliance Type setting, perform the following steps:

1. Turn the power off; while holding the UP and DOWN buttons, turn the power on using power switch on

the display console; see Figure 17-9. Continue holding the UP and DOWN buttons until “tYPE 0” is displayed on the screen, then release the UP and DOWN buttons.

2. Increase the setting by press the UP button. When the correct setting is displayed, see Table 17-4; press the

OK button to enter the value.

3. Wait for a minimum of 1 minute, then cycle the power off and on.

4. Check the appliance setting via Installer Menu setting 2-11; make sure it matches the correct boiler model

as per Table 17-4. Set the remainder of the control settings as desired. Verify proper boiler operation on Domestic Hot Water and Central Heat demands.

If “tYPE 0” does not automatically display upon replacing the controller, the Appliance Type setting must be adjusted using the “Appliance Selection Method” detailed below.

FTV I&O Manual │Parts List

18.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

Servicing the Boiler

 Disconnect or shutoff all energy sources to the boiler: 120VAC power, water and gas.  Identify and mark wires before disconnecting or removing them.  Never bypass electrical fuses or limit devices except temporarily for testing.  Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) i.e. eye protection, safety footwear.

These procedures should only be performed by qualified service personnel, when abnormal operation of the boiler is suspected. The boiler incorporates a sophisticated microprocessor based control which normally responds appropriately to varying conditions. If the boiler operation appears to be incorrect, or it is not responding at all to a demand for heat, the following is suggested to determine and correct the problem.

Diagnosing an Inoperative Boiler

1) Blank Display – perform the following steps:

 Ensure the boiler service switch located on the front of the boiler is in the ON (1) position.  Ensure the main service switch (if applicable) is in the ON position.  Ensure the circuit breaker in the electrical panel supplying power to the boiler in on.  Measure across boiler terminals 16 and 15 (L1 120VAC and L2 NEUTRAL) for 120VAC, see Figure 12-2.

If 120VAC is present, check fuse located on the boiler controller, see Figure 18-1. If 120VAC is not present, check wiring between the boiler and electrical panel for poor connections.

 Check the electrical connection to the display – connector is located behind display.

2) Display Normal but no heat to radiators – perform the following steps:

 Ensure there is a heat call from the thermostat (radiator symbol on the display will flash during a thermostat

demand). If uncertain about thermostat operation, place a jumper between the boiler’s Thermostat terminals. If the radiator symbol does not display, check outdoor sensor reading (User Menu reading 1-08), and compare to the warm weather shutdown setting (Installer Menu setting 2-04); central heat call will not activate if the outdoor temperature is above the warm weather shutdown setting.

 If the radiator symbol is flashing, but the boiler is not firing, compare the boiler outlet temperature

(temperature displayed on the main screen) with the Current target temp (User Menu reading 1-01). Boiler will not fire until the outlet temperature drops below the Current target temp by the CH setpoint differential (Installer Menu setting 2-02 – default setting = 11ºF). o Ensure the central heating pump(s) is running – if not ensure it is wired to pump output CH PUMP or

BOILER PUMP.

o If Current target temp is insufficient, increase CH setpoints (Installer Menu settings 2-01 and 2-05).

 If the radiator symbol is on but not flashing, and the faucet symbol is flashing, then the boiler is actively

servicing a DHW demand; at which time no hot water will go to the radiators. If condition continues, consider increasing the DHW setpoint (Installer Menu setting 2-07), or decreasing the DHW priority time (Installer Menu setting 2-09).

Observe the following precautions when servicing the boiler. Failure to comply with these may result in fire, property damage, serious injury or death.

Before undertaking any troubleshooting procedures it is highly recommended to have available a digital multimeter (s) capable of measuring AC and DC volts, Amperes, Resistance (Ohms) and Continuity.

Only replace FTV controller fuse with identical part (3.15A, 250V Slo-Blo®). Failure to follow this warning may result in component failure or property damage.

Page 76

Troubleshooting │ FTV I&O Manual

3) Display Normal but no DHW – perform the following steps:

 FTV Combi:

o Verify DHW Mode is set to 5 (Installer Menu setting 2-08). o Verify there is DHW flow – check DHW flow rate (User Menu reading 1-05); boiler goes to DHW mode

when the flow exceeds 0.3gpm. If flow is insufficient, check water supply and DHW piping; check Ystrainer for blockage. Check wiring to flow sensor – replace flow sensor if necessary.

o Compare DHW setpoint (User Menu reading 1-04) with DHW temp (User Menu reading 1-03); burner

fires immediately if the flow exceeds 0.3gpm. If necessary increase DHW setpoint (Installer Menu setting 2-07) – 120 to 140ºF recommended.

o If the radiator symbol is flashing on the display, the DHW priority time may have expired. Cycle power

and consider increasing the DHW priority time (Installer Menu setting 2-09).

 Indirect Tank with Tank Sensor:

o Verify DHW Mode is set to 1 (Installer Menu setting 2-08). o Verify there is a Tank sensor wired to COMMON and DHW (boiler terminals 3 and 6), see Figure 12-2.

Tank sensor temperature, DHW temp, is viewed from User Menu reading 1-03.

o Compare DHW setpoint (User Menu reading 1-04) with the DHW temp (User Menu reading 1-03). DHW

Tank demand is generated when the DHW temp drops 4ºF below the DHW setpoint; after which burner demand starts when the boiler outlet temperature (displayed on Main Screen) drops below the Current

target temp (User Menu reading 1-01) by 15ºF. Current target temp for a DHW Tank demand is equal to DHW setpoint + 40ºF; if necessary increase DHW setpoint (Installer Menu setting 2-07) – 130 to 140ºF

recommended.

o If the radiator symbol is flashing on the display, the DHW priority time may have expired. Cycle power

and consider increasing the DHW priority time (Installer Menu setting 2-09) and/or DHW setpoint (Installer Menu setting 2-07).

o If the faucet symbol is flashing on the display, verify the DHW circulator is operating – DHW circulator

should be wired to DHW PUMP and L2 NEUTRAL (boiler terminals 9 and 12/13); see Figure 12-2.

o Verify plumbing is in accordance with Figure 10-4 or 10-4.

 Indirect Tank with Tank Thermostat:

o Verify DHW Mode is set to 2 (Installer Menu setting 2-08). o Verify there is a Tank thermostat wired to COMMON and DHW (boiler terminals 3 and 6), see Figure

12-2.

o Verify there is a demand from the thermostat; when the demand is on, DHW temp (User Menu reading 1-

03) will indicate “CLOS” (or 242⁰F/117⁰C); when demand is off, DHW temp will indicate “OPEn” (or 14⁰F/-10⁰C). If uncertain about thermostat operation, place a jumper between terminals 3 and 6; the faucet symbol will flash on display when there is a DHW demand.

o Compare DHW setpoint (User Menu reading 1-04) with the boiler outlet temperature (displayed on Main

Screen); burner demand starts with the boiler outlet temperature drops below the DHW setpoint by 15ºF. If necessary increase DHW setpoint (Installer Menu setting 2-07) – 160 to 190ºF recommended.

o If the radiator symbol is flashing on the display, the DHW priority time may have expired. Cycle power

and consider increasing the DHW priority time (Installer Menu setting 2-09) and/or DHW setpoint (Installer Menu setting 2-07).

o If the faucet symbol is flashing on the display, verify the DHW circulator is operating – DHW circulator

should be wired to DHW PUMP and L2 NEUTRAL (boiler terminals 9 and 12/13); see Figure 12-2.

o Verify plumbing is in accordance with Figure 10-4 or 10-4.

4) Display Normal but DHW is not hot enough – perform the following steps:

 Increase DHW setpoint (Installer menu setting 2-07):

o FTV Combi (DHW Mode = 5) – recommended setting = 120 to 140ºF. o Indirect Tank with Tank Sensor (DHW Mode = 1) – recommended setting = 130 to 140ºF. o Indirect Tank with Tank Thermostat (DHW Mode = 2) – recommended setting = 160 to190ºF.

 FTV Combi – DHW flow rate is too great; report DHW flow rate (User Menu reading 1-05) to NTI. If

necessary, restrict overall DHW flow rate.

 Indirect Tank – verify plumbing is in accordance with Figure 10-6 or 10-7.

5) Display indicates an error (Err), lockout (Loc) or warning (Att); reference Table 17-3 in Section 17.0.
