4.0 GENERAL VENTING

The Trinity Lx is a “Direct Vent” appliance requiring a “Special Venting System” designed for pressurized venting. Both the Vent and Air-Intake piping must be piped to the outdoors, using the vent material 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. Installations must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (U.S.) or CSA B149.1 (Canada) and local requirements.

Vent and Air-Intake to be piped separately. The Trinity Lx cannot share a common vent or air-intake with multiple appliances. Failure to comply will result in serious injury or death.

Combustion Air-Intake Contamination

Be careful not to locate the Air-Intake 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-intake piping:

Table 4-1 Corrosive Products and Contaminant Sources

Products to Avoid Contaminated Sources to Avoid

Antistatic fabric softeners, bleaches, detergents, cleaners Laundry facilities Perchloroethylene (PCE), hydrocarbon based cleaners Dry cleaning facilities Chemical fertilizer, herbicides/pesticides, dust, methane gas Farms or areas with livestock and manure Paint or varnish removers, cements or glues, sawdust Wood working or furniture refinishing shops Water chlorination chemicals (chloride, fluoride) Swimming pools, hot tubs Solvents, cutting oils, fiberglass, cleaning solvents Auto body or metal working shops Refrigerant charge with CFC or HCFC Refrigerant repair shops Permanent wave solutions Beauty shops Fixer, hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid), bromide, iodine Photo labs, chemical / plastics processing plants Cement powder, crack fill dust, cellulose, fiber based insulation Concrete plant or construction site

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

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-intake 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 appliance. Refer to Mandatory Pre-commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting in Section 4.0.

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.

Near Appliance Vent/Air-Intake Piping

Each Trinity Lx is equipped with a short piece of approved CPVC vent pipe. Insert one end into the appliance flue outlet adapter and cement the other to field venting (see Table 4-3 for approved venting material). The CPVC vent pipe should extend fully into the appliance flue outlet adapter (see Table 4-2). DO NOT insert PVC pipe directly into the flue outlet connection as it can deform from the clamping force of the gear clamp. Ensure that the venting system does not apply a load or strain on the appliance flue outlet adapter. The manufacturer recommends using two elbows to create a “swing joint” to reduce potential strain as shown in Figure 4-1(a), (b).

Gasket Seating - Improper seating can cause leakage and eventual failure of the sealing gasket. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

ULC S636 PVC is approved for flue gas temperatures up to 149oF (65oC) and must only be used for low temperature

PVC / CPVC ANSI/ASTM F656

applications. High temperature applications requiring appliance supply water temperatures greater than 140oF (60oC) must use ULC S636 approved CPVC.

Mandatory Pre-commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting

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

1) Working with the power turned off to the appliance, 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 appliance gas supply shut-off valve in the off position.

3) Disconnect electrical leads to the Hot Surface or Spark Igniter. Ensure the cables are placed in a fashion

where they will not arc to ground or other conductor.

Spark Igniter Cable - Maintain a minimum 2” separation between spark igniter circuit and

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

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

5) Allow for 3 complete trials for ignition, consisting of pre and post purge of the combustion blower, until an

ignition lockout occurs. Repeat the process two more times (i.e. 9 complete ignition sequences in total).

6) Turn power off and reconnect the electrical leads to the Igniter. Vent/Air-Intake Pipe Length Determination

Use Table 4-4 to determine the maximum pipe length that can be used. The table calculates sweep, 90º elbows, and 45º elbows at 5 equivalent feet [1.52 m] each. Allowable equivalent pipe lengths for vent and air-intake pipes are shown separately for Natural Gas and LP. Example: An Lx200 can be installed with 105 equivalent feet [32 m] of air-intake piping and 105 equivalent feet [32 m] of vent piping when operating with Natural Gas.

The length of one vent pipe (intake or exhaust) may not exceed the length of the other vent pipe by more than 20 equivalent feet (6.1 m). Length calculations need not include the three 90° elbows of the exterior vent

piping (two outlet, one inlet). When operating with Propane Gas (LP), the maximum vent length in equivalent feet is limited to 50’ (3” pipe), 30’ (4” pipe), and 65’ (6” pipe) depending on model number. See Table 4-4.

│Installation and Operation Instructions Lx Series

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-Intake Contamination: Air for combustion must be drawn from outdoors 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” [457 mm] above the air inlet, and the air inlet

must always be a minimum of 12” [305 mm] 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”, thus the inlet must be (12”+19”) =

31” 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. When the horizontal distance between the inlet and exhaust is greater than 12” [305 mm], the difference in horizontal distance must be determined and the vertical separation increased by the same amount.

Example: The horizontal distance (HD) = 24” [610 mm], and the vertical separation (VSmin) = 18” [457

mm], the new vertical separation (VSnew) can be calculated using the following equation: VSnew = (HD - 12”) + VS, where VSnew = (24” - 12”) + 18” = 30”. (If the horizontal distance is greater than 6’ [1.83 m], no additional vertical spacing is required. Vertical

separation is never required to be greater than 36” [915 mm].

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

should be taken into consideration when selecting an adequate location. A 36” [915 mm] 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” [13 mm] away from the wall.

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

linear foot of vent [6.25 mm per linear 305 mm]. For applications where excessive condensation is possible

½” per linear foot [13 mm per linear 305 mm] is recommended.

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

All interior vent pipe shall be supported a minimum of every 36” [915 mm]. If 6” diameter pipe is used

with the Lx400, it need only be supported every 48” [1.22 m].

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 4-9.

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. Then cut a small piece

of pipe to sandwich the screen into the elbow. NOTE be sure that 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(a) and (b) and

Figures 4-8(a) and (b).

15. Pipe Sizing: It is extremely important that the intake and exhaust vent piping be adapted to the appropriate

size immediately upon exiting the appliance cabinet. Refer to Table 4-2.

16. 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.

17. Warning Plate: Install the warning plate “Gas Vent Directly Below”, directly above (within 4 ft [1.22 m]

vertically) the location of the air inlet pipe, so it is visible from at least 8 ft [2.4 m] away. See Figure 4-10.

18. 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” [25mm], Max.= 60” [1.52 m].

19. 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 4-3(b) and 4-5(b) for alternative venting options.

Notes:

1 - Canadian installations must comply with the current CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and local

building codes. 2 - US installations must comply with current ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Code and local building codes. 3 - Horizontal separation center-to-center (c.c.) 4”-12” (102-305 mm). Refer to “Venting Rules and Guidelines” for

horizontal separation > 12” c.c. as it may impact vertical separation clearances. 4 - For US installations, an exhaust vent may 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.

0 - 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 appliance installations using concentric vents.

Lx Series Installation and Operation Instructions │

Trinity Lx

Extra precaution must be taken to adequately support the weight of the Vent/Air-Intake

piping in applications using roof-top terminations. Failure to follow these instructions may result in venting or appliance component failure resulting in flue gas spillage leading to property damage, serious injury or death.

Under no circumstances may an existing chimney or chase-way be used to vent or provide combustion intake air to a Trinity Lx. Failure to follow these instructions will

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

Removing an Existing Boiler from Common Venting System

Do not install the Trinity Lx into a common venting system with any other appliances. 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 appliances 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.

At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.

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 appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance 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 appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so

appliance will operate continuously.

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

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

6. After it has been determined that each appliance 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 appliance to their previous condition of use.

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

with 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.

6.0 CONDENSATE DRAIN

│Installation and Operation Instructions Lx Series

This unit produces liquid condensate in the heat exchanger and venting system as a product of combustion. Steps must be taken to ensure that condensate does not collect in the venting system; therefore, all exhaust piping must slope back to the appliance a minimum 1/4” 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 condensate must be neutralized prior to entering a drain).

The following are important notes that must be taken into consideration when constructing the condensate drain system (See Figure 6-1 for further details):

• DO NOT install condensate lines outside. A frozen or blocked drain will cause the condensate to fill the

combustion chamber. This will result in a no heat condition, as the unit will shut down, and damage to the flame sensor, and components can 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.

If the combustion chamber has been flooded due to the condensate drain backing up, or

for any other reason, the combustion chamber door must be removed and the inside of the appliance must be inspected for component damage, e.g. the internal insulation at the front and back of the chamber. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, property damage, serious injury or death.

Figure 6-1 All Models

Condensate Drain Piping

Do not block or install piping into the top branch of the condensate drain tee.

Connection to the bottom of the condensate drain tee must be made using 1/2” Schedule40 PVC pipe. Secure using appropriate PVC cement. All piping must be below the level where the condensate leaves the boiler.

Check with your local authorities regarding disposal of condensate (regulation may require the use of a neutralizer).

7.0 INSTALLING GAS PIPING

Trinity Lx

The Trinity Lx is factory equipped to operate with Natural Gas, the installation of a

conversion kit is required prior to operating with Propane Gas. The Natural to LP Conversion Kit (see Table 7-1) must be installed prior to installing the gas piping to the appliance. Failure to properly convert the unit to operate with Propane may result in property damage, serious injury or death.

Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air; therefore, it is imperative that

your appliance is not installed in a pit or similar location that will permit heavier than air gas to collect. Check with Local Codes as they may require appliances fueled with LP gas 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.

Trinity Lx

│Installation and Operation Instructions Lx Series

Ensure that:

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

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

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

burner, and serviceable components.

• The Appliance shall be 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 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 GAS VALVE as damage to the valve or

blower motor can occur.

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

recognized testing lab.

• The gas line piping can safely be removed from the appliance 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 appliance, are checked for leaks using a “Bubble Test”,

prior to operating the appliance.

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.

Flexible gas piping cannot be used within the appliance cabinet and cannot pass through

the cabinet wall, use rigid piping as shown in Figure 7-1. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, 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 .

When performing a pressure test on the gas line piping, be sure the appliance is

disconnected or isolated if the test pressure is expected to exceed 1/2 PSI (14” w.c.), as damage to the valve could occur resulting in fire, property damage, serious injury or death.

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

• Ensure the appliance is wired in accordance with this manual.

• Ensure the gas shut-off 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.

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.

Initial Start-Up

1. Turn on power to the Trinity Lx and turn-up the Thermostat(s). The appliance 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 three 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 or Carbon Dioxide analyzer, take a sample of the flue gas. The sample must

fall within the acceptable ranges for Carbon Dioxide, which is 8.5% - 9.5% for Natural gas, and 9.5%-10.5% for propane (See Section 9.0 for details).

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

5. After the three successive lights, unplug the flame probe, and allow the unit to cycle again. Ensure that it

tries to light, and locks out on safety reset. Once you have successfully activated the flame safety system, replace the wire on the flame sensor, and reconfirm proper lighting.

If the unit fails to light consistently and smoothly, contact NTI for assistance at 1-800688-2575. Never allow the appliance to continue to operate if the ignition or operation

of the burner is rough or erratic. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

The flame probe uses a single electrode located in the burner door at the 6 O’clock

position. DO NOT remove the wire from the dual electrode located in the burner door at the 3 O’clock position; this device is used for spark igniting and delivers a high voltage potential which would result in an EXTREME ELECTRICAL SHOCK possibly causing serious injury or death.

9.0 GAS VALVE AND BURNER SET-UP

Trinity Lx

Set-up of the Trinity Lx gas valve must be performed by a licensed Gas Technician.

Failure to perform the set-up correctly may result in incorrect operation, component failure, property damage, serious injury or death.

Gas Line Pressure

The appliance gas valve is equipped with a line pressure test port; see Figures 9-1 and 9-2. Use the following procedure to measure the gas line pressure to the appliance to ensure if falls within the range given in Table 9-1:

1. Turn the supply of gas to the appliance 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 appliance.

3. Force 1/4" 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 appliance 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 applications 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. 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, incase

adjustments need to be made.

9. Upon completion of the line pressure testing, return the bleed screw of the Line Pressure Test Port to the

closed position.

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 appliance 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

│Installation and Operation Instructions Lx Series

Input Screw Adjustments - The appliance is equipped with a Throttle/Input Adjustment Screw, located on the

Gas Valve and Venturi Assembly. The Throttle screw is used to adjust the flow of gas leaving the gas valve, entering the Venturi and hence entering the combustion air stream. By turning the adjustment screw in, clockwise, the flow of gas is reduced and the combustion becomes leaner, thus reducing the concentration of CO2 in the flue gases. To increase the CO2 the Throttle screw must be adjusted out, counterclockwise, thus increasing the flow of gas from the gas valve to the combustion air stream.

Lx150-200 Adjustments - The input screw for models Lx150-200 is a multiple turn valve. Fully open to close is approximately 17 turns. Typical adjustment for Natural Gas is 0-1 full turns in or out. Typical adjustment for LP Gas is 0-3 full turns in or out. See Figures 9-1 and 9-2 for input screw location.

Lx400 Adjustments - The input screw for the Lx400 is a geared valve with a 4:1 ratio. Adjusting input screw 4 complete turns will returned the valve to the original location, 2 turns from fully open will completely close the valve. Typical adjustment required is 0-1/4 turns in or out. See Figure 9-3 for input screw location.

Decrease gas

Throttle/Input Adjustment Screw

Increase gas

Adjustments to the Throttle screw may only be made by a qualified gas technician, while

using a calibrated combustion analyzer capable of measuring CO2 and CO. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

Adjustments to the Throttle screw 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.

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 appliances:

1. Operate the unit at the maximum modulation rate, see Table 9-2.

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 (Table 9-2). Ensure the combustion remains smooth and

CO2 and CO remain within the limits (Table 9-1). If not, do not adjust further, contact NTI for assistance.

Flue Gas Analysis and Adjustment

Each Trinity Lx is factory set to operate with Natural Gas, for appliances field converted to operate with Propane Gas, a flue gas analysis and adjustment is mandatory. See Table 7-1 and propane conversion instructions.

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.

Analysis – The Trinity Lx is equipped with a flue gas test port located in the flue outlet adapter assembly. For models Lx150-200, test port access is from within the appliance cabinet (Figure 9-3). For Lx400 model, test port access is from outside the appliance cabinet (Figure 9-4). Remove the test port plug and perform the flue gas analysis and adjust modulation rate as required until CO2 and CO levels are within acceptable limits. Once flue gas sampling is completed, re-install the test port plug and seal the threads using Teflon tape.

Failure to re-install the test port plug will result in damage to the unit, property damage, fire, explosion, serious injury or death.

Combustion Chamber Cleaning Procedure

Units operating with LP Gas or in an industrial environment will have to be cleaned a minimum of once per year. Other applications will require the combustion chamber to be cleaned after the first year of operation, with subsequent cleanings scheduled based on the condition of the combustion chamber at the time. Unless a step is identified as model specific, the following combustion chamber cleaning procedure is the same for all models.

Crystalline Silica - Read carefully the warnings and handling instructions pertaining to

Refractory Ceramic Fibers before commencing any service work in the combustion chamber. Take all necessary precautions and use recommended personal protective equipment as required.

 1. Initiate a post-purge cycle to clear any gas from the combustion chamber, then turn gas valve off.  2. Lx400 only: Danger Explosion Hazard. To disconnect the metallic tubing between the blower and the

high-vent pressure switch, loosen the compression fitting at the high-vent pressure switch with a 1/2" wrench. At the blower end, support the brass fitting body with a 1/2" wrench to keep it from rotating while loosening the compression fitting nut with a 9/16" wrench. Remove tubing assembly from blower.

 3. Access the combustion chamber by removing the aluminum burner door assembly of the appliance.  4. Remove the insulation disc (P/N 83112) located in the back of the combustion chamber to avoid

Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RFC)

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 door and at the back of the combustion chamber contain 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 14-1 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 14-1 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 appliance. This appliance contains materials that have been identified as carcinogenic, or possibly carcinogenic, to humans).

Table 14-1 Handling Instructions for Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RCF)

Reduce the Risk of Exposure Precautions and Recommended Personal Protective Equipment

Avoid contact with skin and eyes Avoid breathing in silica dust

• Wear long-sleeved clothing, gloves, and safety goggles or glasses.

• Wear a respirator with a N95-rated filter efficiency or better. 1

• Use water to reduce airborne dust levels when cleaning the combustion chamber.

• Do not dry sweep silica dust. Pre-wet or use a vacuum with a high efficiency filter.

Avoid transferring contamination

• When installing or removing RFCs, place the material in a sealable plastic bag.

• Remove contaminated clothing after use. Store in sealable container until cleaned.

• Wash contaminated clothing separately from other laundry.

First Aid Measures

If irritation persists after implementing first aid measures consult a physician.

• Skin - Wash with soap and water.

• Eyes - Do not rub eyes; flush with water immediately.

• Inhalation – Breathe in fresh air; drink water, sneeze or cough to clear irritated

passage ways.

Notes:

Respirator recommendations based on CCOHS and OSHA requirements at the time this document was written. Consult

your local regulatory authority regarding current requirements for respirators, personal protective equipment, handling, and disposal of RCFs.

14.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

Trinity Lx

Observe the following precautions when servicing the appliance. Failure to comply with

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

Servicing the Appliance

• Disconnect or shut off all energy sources to the appliance: 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 appliance is suspected. The appliance incorporates a sophisticated microprocessor based control which normally responds appropriately to varying conditions. If the appliance 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.

Before undertaking any troubleshooting procedures it is highly recommended to have

available a digital multimeter(s) capable of measuring AC and DC volts and amperes, resistance (Ohms) and continuity.

Check 120VAC and 24VAC at the Appliance

First, verify the following:

• There is 120V being supplied to the appliance:

o The circuit breaker in the electrical panel supplying power to the appliance is not tripped. o The service switch (if applicable) is in the ON position.

• There is a heat call from the thermostat:

o Verify 24VAC to thermostat. o The thermostat is placed at a sufficiently high setting to create a call for heat to the appliance.

To check for the presence of 120VAC and 24VAC at the appliance follow this procedure:

• Remove the appliance front cover.

• 120VAC

o Remove the Line Voltage junction box cover. First remove the #10 pan-head Phillips screw securing the

cover to the junction box. Lift the cover to release it from the appliance base and withdraw the cover from the appliance cabinet. This will expose the Line Voltage barrier strip.

o With an AC voltmeter set on the appropriate scale, measure the voltage across the L1 and L2 terminals

(terminals 1 and 5).

o If 120VAC is not detected, check the electrical service as suggested above. If the service is verified,

inspect the circuit wiring from the panel to the appliance for broken or disconnected conductors.

• 24VAC (only check if 120VAC supply is verified). o Remove the Low Voltage junction box cover. First remove the #10 pan-head Phillips screw securing the

cover to the junction box. Lift the cover to release it from the appliance base and withdraw the cover from the appliance cabinet. This will expose the Low Voltage barrier strip.

o With an AC voltmeter set on the appropriate scale, measure the voltage across the R and C terminals

(terminals 3 and 1).

o If 24VAC is not detected, check Fuse "C" (see below).

Fuses

There are three (3) fuses associated with the Trinity Lx controller. Check these fuses before replacing the controller or any other electrical component; if the fuse is blown, it will prevent the protected device(s) from functioning.

Control Panel Fuse Location

Fuse “C” ATO 2A 32V Auto Blade Type

Fuse “A” 3AG 7A 250V Fast-Acting

Fuse “B” 3AG 7A 250V Fast-Acting

To check, and if necessary replace, the fuses:

• Remove all 120VAC power from the appliance. Be careful to check that the unit is not powered from more than one source e.g. a UPS (uninterruptible power supply).

• Remove the front cover.

• The control panel is located below the heat exchanger. Fuses "A" and "B" are accessible by removing the

spring-loaded knurled knob of their respective holders. Push the knob toward the panel, and twist approximately 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.

• To access Fuse "C", remove the two #10 pan-head Phillips screws and lift the top cover from the panel. The auto blade type fuse is installed in an "inline" style fuse holder.

After inspecting and if necessary replacing fuses, replace the panel cover and front cover. Restore power to the appliance and confirm proper operation.

Only replace fuses with identical parts, see Figure 14-1. Failure to follow this warning may result in component failure, fire, property damage, serious injury or death.

Position Display Plug

Ensure the display is connected to the controller via its 4-conductor signal cable by following the procedure below:

1. Remove the unit front cover.

2. Remove the two #10 pan-head Phillips screws

securing the plastic display housing to the cabinet.

3. Pivot the housing down until its bottom edge

rests against the extended air tube or cabinet sides.

4. Verify that the two mating 4-position single-row

Molex housings are securely connected as illustrated.

Figure 14-3 All Models

Display Power Supply Verification

Display Power Supply Unit

Ensure that the display power supply is operating properly by following the procedure below:

1. Using a DC voltmeter, check for 12VDC across

the +V and –V terminals of the power supply

2. Remove the unit front cover.

3. Remove the two #10 pan-head Phillips screws

and lift the panel cover off.

4. Locate the 12VDC power supply at the front

right corner of the panel.

5. Measure the voltage across the +V and –V

terminals on the right-hand end of the supply.

6. If 12VDC is not detected across +V and –V,

replace the power supply with NTI PN83592-1.

DO NOT drop the plastic housing or allow it to swing down freely, it may be damaged by forceful impact.
