1.5 Locating the Appliance
The appliance should be located to provide clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection. It should not be located in an area where leakage of any connections will result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to lower oors of the structure.
When such a location is not available, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance.
The appliance is design certied by CSA­International for installation on combustible ooring; in basements; in closets, utility rooms or alcoves.
Pennant Boilers or Water Heaters must never be installed on carpeting. The location for the appliance
should be chosen with regard to the vent pipe lengths and external plumbing. The unit shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.). When vented vertically, the Pennant must be located as close as practical to a chimney or outside wall. If the vent terminal and/or combustion air terminal terminate through a wall, and there is potential for snow accumulation in the local area, both terminals should be installed at an appropriate level above grade such that blockage of the terminal from accumulated debris or precipitation is prevented.

1.8 Locating Appliance for Correct Horizontal Vent/Ducted Air Distance From Outside Wall
The forced draft combustion air blower in the
appliance has sufcient power to pull air and vent properly when the guidelines for horizontal air and vent are followed (see Table 1).
NOTE: On some models, the vent collar size is larger than the size of the vent pipe that can be used. Vent collar size and horizontal pipe diameters can be found in Table 1. The larger vent collar size is to accommodate Category I (vertical) vent systems.
NOTE: When located on the same wall, the Pennant combustion air intake terminal must be installed a minimum of 12" (30cm) below the exhaust vent terminal and separated by a minimum of 36 inches (91cm) horizontally.
The air intake terminal must be installed high
enough to avoid blockage from snow, leaves and other debris.
The dimensions and requirements that are shown in Table 2 should be met when choosing the locations for the appliance.
1.6 Locating Pump-Mounted Water Heater
with Respect to Storage Tank(s)
For best results, a pump-mounted Pennant water heater should be located within 15 feet (4.6m) of the storage tank(s). The pump is sized for 30 feet (9.1m)

If the appliance must be installed with longer piping runs, then larger diameter tubing may be acceptable. Consult the factory for assistance.
2.1 Combustion Air
Pennant boilers and water heaters must have provisions for combustion and ventilation air in accordance with the applicable sections addressing requirements for air for combustion and ventilation of
Side Wall Combustion Air Terminal
Part Number

LAARS Heating Systems
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, the applicable sections of the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (CSA B149.1) must be followed. In all cases any and all applicable local installation codes must also be followed.
A Pennant appliance may receive combustion air from the space in which it is installed, or it can be ducted directly to the unit from the outside. Proper ventilation air must be provided in either case.
2.1.1 Combustion Air From Room
In the United States, the most common requirements specify that the space shall communicate with the outdoors in accordance with method 1 or 2, which follow. Where ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross-sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they connect.
Method 1: Two permanent openings, one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top and one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the bottom, of the enclosure shall be provided. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors. When directly communicating with the outdoors, or when communicating to the outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4000 Btu/hr (5.5 square cm/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. When communicating to the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of not less than 1 square inch per 2000 Btu/hr (11 square cm/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. Table 3 shows data for this sizing method, for each Pennant model.
Method 2: One permanent opening, commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top of the enclosure, shall be permitted. The opening shall directly communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or spaces that directly communicate with the outdoors and shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 3000 Btu/hr (7 square cm/kW) of the total input rating of all equipment located in the enclosure. This opening must not be less than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors in the conned space.
Other methods of introducing combustion and ventilation air are acceptable, providing they conform to the requirements in the applicable codes listed above.
In Canada, consult local building and safety codes or, in absence of such requirements, follow CSA B149.1, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

2.1.2 Intake Combustion Air
The combustion air can be taken through the wall, or through the roof. When taken from the wall, it must be taken from out-of-doors by means of the Laars horizontal wall terminal (see Table 1). When taken from the roof, a eld-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must be used to prevent entry of rain water (see Figure 2).
Use single-wall galvanized pipe, per Table 4, for the combustion air intake (see Table 1 for appropriate size). Route the intake to the heater as directly as possible. Seal all joints with tape. Provide adequate hangers. The unit must not support the weight of the combustion air intake pipe. Maximum linear pipe length allowed is 50 feet (15.2m). Three elbows have been calculated into the 50-foot (15.2m) linear run. Subtract 10 allowable linear feet (3.0m) for every additional elbow used (see Table 1). When fewer

than 3 elbows are used, the maximum linear pipe length allowed is still 50 feet (15.2m).
Term Description Pipe Single-wall galvanized steel pipe, 24 gauge
minimum (either insulated or non-insulated)
Joint Sealing Permanent duct tape or aluminum tape
Table 4. Required Combustion Air Piping Material.
The connection for the intake air pipe is on the lter box. The Pennant appliances may have venting and combustion air ducting attached to the top or the back. They are shipped with the connections at the top. For attaching either or both pipes to the back, the mounting anges are reversible by removing the mounting screws and orienting the anges in the desired position. Replace the screws after positioning anges. Run a bead of silicone around the collar and slide the pipe over the collar. Secure with sheet metal screws.
In addition to air needed for combustion, air shall also be supplied for ventilation, including all air required for comfort and proper working conditions for personnel. The Pennant loses less than 1 percent of its input rating to the room, but other heat sources may be present.
2.2 Venting
2.2.1 Vent Categories
Depending upon desired Pennant venting, it may be considered a Category I or a Category III appliance. In general, a vertical vent system will be a Category I system. However, in rare instances, a Pennant’s vertical vent system may be considered Category III. In the U.S., the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1), or in Canada the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (CSA B149.1), denes a Category I vent system, and includes rules and tables to size these vent systems. If the Pennant’s vertical vent system does not satisfy the criteria for Category I venting, it must be vented as a Category III system.
All Pennant vent systems which discharge horizontally (without the use of a power venter) are considered Category III vent systems.
2.2.2 Category I Vent
When vented as a Category I appliance, the vent system must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition) in the U.S., or in Canada, to the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (CSA B149.1 latest edition). The vent system must be sized and installed for a Category I Fan­Assisted Appliance.
If chimney height is greater than 25 feet, or if multiple units are vented into the same vertical vent, a barometric damper must be installed on each appliance, such that the ue draft does not exceed (negative) 0.1 in. w.c.
If using a power venter for any type of Category
I venting, the draft should be set between (negative)
0.01 and 0.05 in. w.c.
2.2.3 Common Venting Systems
Pennant units are Category I fan-assisted when vented vertically and adhering to all applicable codes. Pennant units are not allowed to be vented into a common horizontal vent system, unless a properly sized vent fan is used, and the common vent system is properly designed by the vent fan manufacturer or a qualied engineer. When common venting Pennant fan-assisted unit with other appliances through one shared vertical duct called a “common vent”, special care must be taken by the installer to ensure safe operation. In the event that the common vent is blocked, it is possible, especially for fan-assisted devices, to vent backwards through non-operating appliances sharing the vent, allowing combustion products to inltrate occupied spaces. If the
appliances are allowed to operate in this condition, serious injury or death may occur.
WARNING
Operation of appliances with a blocked common vent may lead to serious injury or death. Safety devices must be implemented to prevent blocked common vent operation. If safe operation of all appliances connected to a common vent cannot be assured, including prevention of spillage of flue gasses into living spaces, common venting should not be applied, and appliances should each be vented separately.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le fonctionnement d’appareils connectés à un évent commun bouché peut provoquer de sérieuses blessures corporelles ou la mort. Des dispositifs de sécurité doivent être mis en place pour empêcher que les appareils soient utilisés avec un évent commun bouché. Si un fonctionnement sécuritaire de tous les appareils reliés à un évent commun et si la prévention des dégagements accidentels de gaz de combustion dans des zones habitées ne peuvent pas être assurés, un évent commun ne doit pas être mis en place et les appareils doivent être munis d’évents individuels séparés.
It is for this reason that, in addition to following proper vent sizing, construction and safety requirements from the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or in Canada, from the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (CSA B149.1) as well as all applicable local codes, it is required that installers provide some means to prevent operation with a blocked common vent. It is suggested that a blocked vent safety system be employed such that if the switch
Page 10
Pennant 200, 300, 400
Page 11
LAARS Heating Systems
from one appliance trips due to excessive stack spill or back pressure indicating a blocked vent condition, that all appliances attached to the vent be locked out and prevented from operating. Note that the Pennant is equipped with a blocked vent safety (pressure) switch, as shipped. However, this safety switch has only been designed and tested to be effective in installations where the Pennant is vented separately and NOT common vented with other appliances. As an additional precaution, it is recommended that a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm be installed in all enclosed spaces containing combustion appliances. If assistance is required in determining how a blocked vent safety system should be connected to a LAARS product, please call Applications Engineering at the Rochester phone number on the back cover of this manual.
Refer to the installation and operating instructions on all appliances to be common vented for instructions, warnings, restrictions and safety requirements. If safe operation of all appliances connected to a common vent cannot be assured, including prevention of spillage of ue gases into living spaces, common venting should not be applied, and appliances should each be vented separately.
2.2.4 Category III Vent
When the Pennant is vented with horizontal discharge, it must be installed per this installation manual and the venting system manufacturer’s installation instructions. The vent system must be sealed stainless steel, per Table 5.

50 linear feet (15.2m) of pipe. Subtract 10 allowable linear feet (3.0m) for every additional elbow used.
2.3 Locating Vent & Combustion Air Terminals
2.3.1 Side Wall Vent Terminal
The appropriate Laars side wall vent terminal
must be used, and is listed in the installation and operation manual. The terminal provides a means of installing the vent piping through the building wall, and must be located in accordance with ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 and applicable local codes. In Canada, the installation must be in accordance with CSA B149.1 and local applicable codes. Consider the following when installing the terminal:
1. Figure 3 shows the requirements for mechanical vent terminal clearances for the U.S. and Canada.
2. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot be drawn into air conditioning system inlets.
3. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot enter the building through doors, windows, gravity inlets or other openings. Whenever possible, locations under windows or near doors should be avoided.
4. Locate the vent terminal so that it cannot be blocked by snow. The installer may determine that a vent terminal must be higher than the minimum shown in codes, depending upon local conditions.
5. Locate the terminal so the vent exhaust does not settle on building surfaces or other nearby objects. Vent products may damage such surfaces or objects.
6. If the boiler or water heater uses ducted combustion air from an intake terminal located on the same wall, locate the vent terminal at least 3 feet (0.9m) horizontally from the combustion air terminal, and locate the vent terminal at least 1 foot (0.3m) above the combustion air terminal.
Route the vent pipe to the heater as directly as possible. Seal all joints and provide adequate hangers as required in the venting system manufacturer’s installation instructions. Horizontal portions of the venting system must be supported to prevent sagging and may not have any low sections that could trap condensate.
The unit must not support the weight of the vent pipe. Horizontal runs must slope downwards not less than  inch per foot (2 cm/m) from the unit to the vent terminal.
L’appareil ne doit pas supporter le poids de la gaine d’évent. Les parties horizontales doivent être installées avec une pente de 2 cm/m (1/4 inch par pied) descendant de l’appareil vers la sortie de l’évent.
Reference Table 1 for the size of the Category III vent system. Up to three elbows can be used with
WARNING The outdoor vent terminal gets hot. Unit must be installed in such a way as to reduce the risk of burns from contact with the vent terminal.
AVERTISSEMENT La sortie d’évent à l’extérieur devient très chaude. Elle doit être installée de façon à réduire le risque de brûlures au contact de l’extrémité de l’évent.

2.3.2 Side Wall Combustion Air Terminal
The Laars side wall combustion air terminal
(listed in Table 1) must be used when the unit takes its combustion air through a duct from a side wall. Consider the following when installing the terminal:
1. Do not locate the air inlet terminal near a source of corrosive chemical fumes (e.g., cleaning uid, chlorinated compounds, etc.)
2. Locate the terminal so that it will not be subject to damage by accident or vandalism.
3. Locate the combustion air terminal so that it cannot be blocked by snow. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that it be at least 12 inches (30 cm) above grade, but the installer may determine it should be higher, depending upon local conditions.
4. If the Pennant is side-wall vented to the same wall, locate the vent terminal at least 3 feet (0.9m) horizontally from the combustion air terminal, and locate the vent terminal at least 1 foot (0.3m) above the combustion air terminal (see Figure 3).
2.3.3 Vertical Vent Terminal
When the unit is vented through the roof, the
vent must extend at least 3 feet (0.9m) above the point at which it penetrates the roof. It must extend at least 2 feet (0.6m) higher than any portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 10 feet (3.0m), and high enough above the roof line to prevent blockage from snow. When the combustion air is taken from the roof, the combustion air must terminate at least 12" (30cm) below the vent terminal (see Figure 2).
2.3.4 Vertical Combustion Air Terminal
When combustion air is taken from the roof, a
eld-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must be used to prevent entry of rain water (see Figure 2). The opening on the end of the terminal must be at least 12" (30cm) above the point at which it penetrates the
roof, and high enough above the roof line to prevent blockage from snow. When the vent terminates on the roof, the combustion air must terminate at least 12" (30cm) below the vent terminal.
2.4 Common Vent Test — Boilers
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 appliances remaining connected to it.
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.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch and determine there is
non blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion
and other deciencies which could cause an
unsafe condition.
3. Insofar as it is practical, close 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. Close replace dampers.
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 ame 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,
replace dampers and any other gas burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so that the installation
conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes.
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
Appendix F in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Codes.

2.4 Vérication des évents communs — Chaudières
Lorsqu’une chaudière existante est déconnectée
du réseau d’évents commun, ce réseau d’évents commun devient probablement trop grand pour les appareils qui lui restent connectés. Lorsqu’une chaudière existante est retirée, les étapes suivantes doivent être accomplies pour chaque appareil qui reste connecté au réseau d’évents commun utilisé, alors que les autres appareils qui sont encore connectés au réseau commun d’évents ne sont pas en fonctionnement.:
1. Sceller toutes les ouvertures non utilisées du système d'évacuation.
2. Inspecter de façon visuelle le système d'évacuation pour déterminer la grosseur et l'inclinaison horizontale qui conviennent et s'assurer que le système est exempt d'obstruction, d'étranglement, de fuite, de corrosion et autres défaillances qui pourraient présenter des risques.
3. Dans la mesure du possible, fermer toutes les portes et les fenêtres du bâtiment et toutes les portes entre l'espace où les appareils toujours raccordés au système d'évacuation sont installés et les autres espaces du bâtiment. Mettre en marche les sécheuses, tous les appareils non raccordés au système d'évacuation common et tous les ventilateurs d'extraction comme les hottes de cuisinière et les ventilateurs des salles de bain. S'assurer que ces ventilateurs fonctionnent à la vitesse maximale. Ne pas faire fonctionner les ventilateurs d'été. Fermer les registres des cheminées.
4. Mettre l'appareil inspecté en marche. Suivre les instructions d'allumage. Réegler le thermostat de façon continue.
5. Faire fonctionner le brûleur principal pendant 5 min ensuite, déterminer si le coupe-tirage déborde à l'ouverture de décharge. Utiliser la amme d'une allumette ou d'une chandelle ou la fumée d'une cigarette, d'un cigare ou d'une pipe.
6. Une fois qu'il a été déterminé, selon la méthode indiquée ci-dessus, que chaque appareil raccordé au système d'évacuation est mis à l'air libre de façon adéquate. Remettre les portes et les fenêtres, les ventilateurs, les registres de cheminées et les appareils au gaz à leur position originale.
7. Tout mauvais fonctionnement du système d'évacuation commun devrait être corrigé de façon que l'installation soit conforme au National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 et (ou) aux codes d'installation CSA-B149.1. Si la grosseur d'une section du système devrait être modié, le système devrait être modié pour respecter les valeurs minimales des tableaux pertinents de l'appendice F du National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 et (ou) les codes d'installation CSA-B149.1
2.5 Vent Terminals for Outdoor Units
For outdoor applications, the vent and combustion air openings must be covered with proper terminals to prevent rain, snow and other objects from falling into the Pennant.
Outdoor Vent / Air kit part numbers are shown in Table 6. These kits contain parts for both combustion air inlet and exhaust vent connections. An angled sheet metal assembly with louvers replaces the sheet metal assembly with the air collar. An adapter, a 12" length of pipe, and a rain cap are included for the exhaust vent opening.
If local codes allow, Laars kits are not required for outdoor units. The installer may use 12" of appropriately sized galvanized single wall or b-type vent pipe and a rain cap for the exhaust vent. In addition, an appropriately sized galvanized 90° elbow, positioned with the opening facing down, may be used on the combustion air inlet.

Table 6. Vent / Air Kits for Outdoor Units.
SECTION 3. Gas Supply and Piping
3.1 Gas Supply and Piping
Gas piping should be supported by suitable
hangers or oor stands, not by the appliance.
The Pennant’s gas train allows the user to pipe the gas from either the right side or the left side of the unit. As shipped, the right side of the gas train is capped off, and there is a manual valve on the left side. If desired, the manual valve on the left side of the gas train may be moved to the right side, and the cap on the right side may be moved to the left.
Review the following instructions before proceeding with the installation.
1. Verify that the appliance is tted for the proper
type of gas by checking the rating plate. Pennant
appliances are equipped to operate at elevations
up to 10,000 feet (3050m). Pennant appliances
may be adjusted to operate properly at altitudes
above 2500 feet (see Section 6.5.2) and the input
will be reduced if the heating value of the gas
supply is below sea level values.
2. The maximum inlet gas pressure must not
exceed 13" w.c. (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet gas
pressure is 5 in. w.c. (1.2 kPa).
3. Refer to Table 7, size supply.
4. Run gas supply line in accordance with all
applicable codes.
Pennant 200, 300, 400
Page 15
5. Locate and install manual shutoff valves in accordance with state and local requirements.
6. A sediment trap must be provided upstream of the gas controls.
7. All threaded joints should be coated with piping compound resistant to action of liqueed petroleum gas.
8. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psig (3.45 kpa).
9. The unit must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psig (3.45 kpa).
10. The appliance and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing it in operation.
11. Purge all air from gas lines.
WARNING
Do not use open flame to check for leaks. An open flame could lead to explosion, which could result in property damage, serious injury or death.
AVERTISSEMENT
Ne recherchez pas les fuites avec une flamme nue. Une flamme nue peut provoquer une explosion qui peut causer des dommages matériels, de sérieuses blessures corporelles ou la mort.
NOTE: The Pennant appliance and all other gas appliances sharing the gas supply line must be firing at maximum capacity to properly measure the inlet supply pressure. The pressure can be measured at the supply pressure port on the gas valve. Low gas pressure could be an indication of an undersized gas meter, undersized gas supply lines and/or an obstructed gas supply line.
SECTION 4A. Water Connections — Pennant Boiler
4A.1 Heating System Piping:
Hot Supply Connections — Boiler
NOTE: This appliance must be installed in a closed
pressure system with a minimum of 12 psig (82.7 kPa) static pressure at the boiler.
Hot water piping should be supported by suitable hangers or oor stands. Do not support piping with this appliance. Due to expansion and contraction of copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type of hangers used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise through the system resulting from the piping sliding in the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used when rigid hangers are installed. Maintain 1" clearance to combustibles for hot water pipes.
Pipe the discharge of the relief valve (full size) to a drain or in a manner to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief. Install an air purger, an air vent, a diaphragm-type expansion tank, and a hydronic ow check in the system supply loop. Minimum ll pressure must be 12 psig (82.7 kPa). Install shutoff valves where required by code.
Suggested piping diagrams are shown in Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. These diagrams are meant only as a guide. Components required by local codes must be properly installed.
Note the recommended location of the temperature sensor on the diagrams; you must provide a location for the additional sensor shipped with the Pennant. This sensor may be strapped onto pipe from 1" to 4" diameter, or inserted into an immersion well.

4A.2 Cold Water Make-Up — Boiler
1. Connect the cold water supply to the inlet connection of an automatic ll valve.
2. Install a suitable back ow preventer between the automatic ll valve and the cold water supply.
3. Install shut off valves where required.
NOTE: The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigeration system, must be installed so the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the boiler with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler.
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating
boiler connected to heating coils located in air handling appliances where they may be exposed to refrigerated air circulation must be equipped with ow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.
A boiler installed above radiation level, or as
required by the authority having jurisdiction, must be provided with a low water cutoff device either as a part of the boiler or at the time of boiler installation.
4A.3 Water Flow Requirements — Boiler
A hydronic heating (closed loop) application
recirculates the same uid in the piping system. As a result, no new minerals or oxygen are introduced into the system. To ensure a proper operating temperature leading to long boiler life, a ow rate has been
established based on the uid temperature rise for this specic size boiler.
Pump-mounted boilers can be ordered for use in primary secondary piping systems. The pumps used are sized for the head loss through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1 m) of full-sized piping (same size as boiler outlet) and a normal number of ttings.

Table 8 species water ow rates for boilers, which will enable the user to size a pump. The head loss shown is for the heater only, and the user will need to add the head loss of the system piping to properly size the pump.
The minimum inlet water temperature for the Pennant is 120°F (49°C) to avoid condensing on the copper coils.
4A.4 Freeze Protection — Boiler
Boiler installations are not recommended in areas where the danger of freezing exists unless proper precautions are made for freeze protection. A non toxic, heating system, anti-freeze may be added to the hydronic system provided that the concentration does not exceed 50% and the anti freeze contains an anti foamant. When a 50/50 mixture is used, increase the water ow requirements by 15%, and increase the head loss requirements by 20%.
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure of system components, activation of safety devices, etc., may prevent a boiler from ring. Any time a
boiler is subjected to freezing conditions, and the boiler is not able to re, and/or the water is not able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the boiler or in the pipes in the system. When water freezes,
it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes in the system, or damage to the boiler, which could result in leaking or ooding conditions.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Different glycol products may provide varying degrees of protection. Glycol products must be maintained properly in a heating system, or they may become ineffective. Consult the glycol specifications, or the glycol manufacturer, for information about specific products, maintenance of solutions, and set up according to your particular conditions. Never use ethylene glycol (automotive antifreeze).
SECTION 4B. Water Connections — Pennant Water Heater
4B.1 Water System Piping — Water Heater
Hot water piping should be supported by suitable hangers or oor stands. Do not support piping with this appliance. Due to expansion and contraction of copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type of hangers used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise through the system resulting from the piping sliding in the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used when rigid hangers are installed.
The Pennant can be used with several different types of readily available storage tanks. A pump draws water from the storage tank and pumps the water
through the heater and back into the tank. Pump­mounted units have a circulating pump built into the water heater. The pumps used are sized for the head loss through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1 m) of full­sized piping (same size as boiler outlet) and a normal number of ttings. Pumps used on pump-mounted unit are sized for soft/normal or hard water, so make sure a pump-mounted unit matches the water quality of the installation.
Pipe the outlet from the heater’s relief valve such that any discharge from the relief valve will be conducted to a suitable place for disposal when relief occurs. Do not reduce line size or install any valves in this line. The line must be installed to allow complete drainage of both the valve and the line.
Suggested piping diagrams are shown in Figures 9, 10, 11 and 12. These diagrams are meant only as a guide. Components required by local codes must be properly installed.
Note the recommended location of the temperature sensor on the diagrams. The Pennant is shipped with an additional sensor that can be used for more full-featured domestic water heating control. To get these features, you must provide a location for the additional sensor. It can be strapped to a pipe from 1" to 4" diameter, or inserted into a tank immersion well.
The minimum inlet water temperature for the Pennant is 120°F (49°C) to avoid condensing on the copper coils.
4B.2 Hot Water Supply Piping — Water Heater
Follow the tank manufacturer’s guidelines for completion of the hot water system connections.
NOTE: A listed temperature and pressure relief valve listed as complying with the Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems (ANSI Z21.22/CSA 4.4), of suitable discharge capacity must be installed in the separate storage tank system.
If the Pennant water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as one having a backow preventer in the cold water supply line, the relief valve may discharge periodically, due to thermal expansion. Means (such as a properly-sized expansion tank) shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.

be deposited on the unit’s heat exchanger. This is commonly known as scaling. The amount of minerals will depend upon the hardness of the water. Water can also be aggressive, and can erode metals, including copper, if the water is moved too quickly. The water ow requirements for the Pennant water heater are based upon the hardness of the water. The water ow is kept high enough to prevent scaling, but low enough to prevent tube erosion. For extremely soft or hard water, cupro-nickel tubes are available. Contact a Laars representative if you have questions or concerns about water quality.
Pump-mounted water heaters can be ordered with standard pumps for soft or normal water or with pumps for hard water. The pumps used are sized for the head loss through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1m) of full-sized piping (same size as heater outlet) and a normal number of ttings.
4B.5 Freeze Protection — Water Heater
Although Pennant water heaters are design­certied for outdoor installations, such installations are not recommended in areas subject to freezing temperatures, unless proper precautions are taken.
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure of system components, activation of safety devices, etc., may prevent a heater from ring. Any time a
heater is subjected to freezing conditions, and the heater is not able to re, and/or the water is not able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the heater or in the pipes in the system. When water
freezes, it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes in the system, or damage to the heater, which could result in leaking or ooding conditions.
Contact the local factory representative or Laars for additional information.
Table 9 species water ow rates for water heaters, which will enable the user to size a pump. The head loss shown is for the heater only, and the user will need to add the head loss of the piping system to

Pennant 200, 300, 400
Page 25
Single pole switches, including those of safety controls and protective devices must not be wired in a grounded line.
All electrical connections are made in the eld wiring terminal strip, which is located to the left of the blower.
NOTE: All internal electrical components have been pre-wired. No attempt should be made to connect electrical wires to any other location except the wiring box.
5.1 Main Power
Connect a 15 amp. fused, 120-volt supply to the main power switch (hot leg is connected directly to switch). Neutral leg is connected directly to the white wire. Ground wire can be connected to the grounding screw in the box or on the switch.
Wiring diagrams are shown in Figures 13 and 14.
5.2 Field Wiring
Terminal strips are supplied for eld wiring connections under the ip-up control panel.
Connections must be made as specied by the Connection Diagram (Figure 13). The following may be connected to the terminal strips as eld wiring:
Temperature Sensor: The sensor supplied loose with the Pennant is installed in the piping or tank, per the suggested piping diagrams. The sensor, Thermistor 2, is connected to the “9” and “10” terminals.
Field Installed Pump: A pump contactor can be wired to the “P1” and “P2” terminals. These terminals are attached to dry contacts of an adjustable delay on break relay. The contacts may be used to switch a larger pump contactor or can be used to directly switch the hot leg of a circulator pump, up to 1hp at 120 VAC or 3/4hp at 240 VAC.
Note that in some cases, the pump is run continuously.
External Alarm: An external power supply and alarm can be connected to the “1” and “2” terminals. In the event of an ignition time out, a contact closure occurs across these terminals.
BAS Connections: To use an external control to call Pennant units for heat, connect to terminals "3" and "4". Then put the Local/Remote Switch in the "Remote" mode.
Other Field Interlocks: To install other eld­wired switches (proving switches, ow switches, etc.), remove the jumper between the terminals labeled “7” and “8”.
Auxiliary Contacts: The contacts between terminals “11” and “12” will close whenever Loop 2 is enabled and there is a call for heat on Loop 2. Use these terminals to enable eld devices under these circumstances
SECTION 6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Filling the Boiler System
1. Ensure the system is fully connected. Close all bleeding devices and open make-up water valve. Allow system to ll slowly.
2. If make-up water pump is employed, adjust pressure switch on pumping system to provide a minimum of 12 psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest point in the heating loop.
3. If a water pressure regulator is provided on the make-up water line, adjust the pressure regulator to provide at least 12 psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest point in the heating loop.
4. Open bleeding devices on all radiation units at the high points in the piping throughout the system, unless automatic air bleeders are provided at such points.
5. Run system circulating pump for a minimum of 30 minutes with the boiler shut off.
6. Open all strainers in the circulating system, check ow switch operation, and check for debris. If debris is present, clean out to ensure proper circulation.
7. Recheck all air bleeders as described in Step 4.
8. Check liquid level in expansion tank. With the system full of water and under normal operating pressure, the level of water in the expansion tank should not exceed  of the total, with the balance lled with air.
9. Start up boiler according to the procedure in this manual. Operate the entire system, including the pump, boiler, and radiation units for one (1) hour.
10. Recheck the water level in the expansion tank. If the water level exceeds  of the volume of the expansion tank, open the tank drain, and drain to that level.
11. Shut down the entire system and vent all radiation units and high points in the system piping, as described in Step 4.
12. Close make-up water valve and check strainer in pressure reducing valve for sediment or debris from the make-up water line. Reopen make-up water valve.
13. Check gauge for correct water pressure and also check water level in the system. If the height indicated above the boiler insures that water is at the highest point in the circulating loop, then the system is ready for operation.
14. Refer to local codes and the make-up water valve manufacturer’s instructions as to whether the make-up water valve should be left open or closed.

15. After placing the unit in operation, the ignition system safety shutoff device must be tested. First, shut off the manual gas valve, and call the unit for heat. After the pre-purge and ignitor heat-up time, the main gas terminals will be energized, attempting to light, for seven (7) seconds, and then will de-energize. The unit will attempt to light two more times, and then will go into lockout mode. Second, turn the power off and then on again, open the manual gas valve and allow the unit to light. While the unit is operating, close the manual gas valve and ensure that power to the main gas valve has been cut.
16. Within three (3) days of start-up, recheck all air bleeders and the expansion tank as described in Steps 4 and 8 above.
Important: The installer is responsible for identifying to the owner/operator the location of all emergency shutoff devices.
WARNING
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that may have been under water.
AVERTISSEMENT
N’utilisez pas cet appareil si l’une de ses pièces est passée sous l’eau. Appelez tout de suite un technicien en entretien et en réparation pour inspection de l’appareil et remplacement des pièces du système de commande, et des pièces de commande du circuit gaz, qui sont passées sous l’eau.
6.2 Pennant Controller
Pennant 200-400 units feature a custom-
congured digital control system that is capable of monitoring the temperature in two different loops. Loop 1 is the Pennant loop, which uses thermistor 1, mounted in the inlet of the Pennant. Loop 2 is a secondary loop, using the auxiliary thermistor (called thermistor 2) provided loose with the Pennant.
Thermistor 2 can be installed where the user
chooses (in a tank, or in system piping, etc.) and is connected to Pennant terminals 9 and 10. It is activated in the Pennant controller menu (see section 6.6). Auxiliary contacts in the Pennant controller will close when Loop 2 calls for heat, and these contacts can be used to energize a pump relay, or other device that the user chooses.
6.3 Local / Remote Switch
A call for heat can be initiated by the Pennant
controller, or by an external controller. When an
external controller, such as a tank aquastat or multiple boiler control, is used, it is connected between Pennant terminals 3 and 4. With the switch in the Remote position, the external controller is included in the Pennant sequence of operation, and the Remote indicator light on the front panel is illuminated. If an external control is not used, put the switch in the Local position, and terminals 3 and 4 are left out of the sequence.
6.4 Sequence of Operation
The amber “Ready” light on the front panel indicates that the control system is energized. Upon a call for heat, the green “Call for Heat” indicator on the front panel will light.
The pump time delay relay will receive a signal to initiate. If the unit is pump-mounted, the pump will be energized. The pump terminals on the eld­wiring terminals strip will energize a eld pump that is properly interlocked with the Pennant. The green “Water Flow” indicator on the front panel will light, once proper ow has been established by the water ow switch.
Once the water ow switch makes, if all of the safety interlocks are closed, the ignition module will energize the blower(s) for a 15-second pre-purge, followed by a 40-second period to allow the ignitor to heat.
The ignition control energizes the blower. The blower pressurizes the air box (which supplies air to the burners) and closes the normally-open contact on the airow pressure switch. The blocked vent pressure switch senses the pressure in the exhaust plenum. This switch opens if the pressure is excessive (as an indicator of a blocked vent). When these two pressure switches are closed, voltage is sent to the PSW terminal on the ignition control, which allows the ignition module to proceed with the ignition sequence.
If the airow proving circuit is not proven, the ignition module will lock out, and the temperature controller will display the air ow fault, AFF. The ignition control LED will display its one-ash sequence, as well. Section 6.5 describes the result of air ow faults in more detail.
When the ignition control gets the signal at the PSW terminal, it will energize its MV terminal, which sends power to the stage one (or on/off) main valve. The green Stage 1 indicator on the front panel will light.
After a 7-second trial for ignition, the ignitor switches to ame sense mode. If a ame is not detected, the gas valve will close and the ignition module will attempt ignition again (up to two more times, for a total of three attempts.) If all three attempts fail, the ignition control will lock out.
If ame is sensed, the burner will continue to re as long as there is a call for heat, and none of the safety circuit is interrupted.
Pennant 200, 300, 400
Page 27
If there is a call for stage 2 on a 2-stage unit, that valve will be energized, and the addition burner stage will be indicated on the front panel with a green stage 2 light.
If there is a loss of ame signal during a successful ring sequence, the ignition control will remove power from the gas valves, and then attempt to light up to two more times. If successful, the Pennant will re normally. If unsuccessful, the ignition control will lock out.
Ignition lockout is noted on the ignition control LED with a three-ash sequence and is noted on the temperature control by displaying LOC.
When the call for heat is satised, the gas valve(s) closes, and the blower starts a 45 second post-purge. Any pump connected to the Pennant pump time delay relay will continue to run for the time delay period (dialed by the user, 0.1 to 10 minutes).
6.5 Ignition Control Reaction to Air Flow /
Blocked Vent Pressure Switch
Air ow and blocked vent status are continuously monitored by the Pennant ignition control, at the control’s PSW terminal.
At the start of an ignition sequence, if the ignition control sees power at PSW for 30 seconds, but the combustion blower has not yet been energized by the control (F1 and F2), an air ow fault is signaled. The ignition control will remain in this fault mode, with the blower off. If the power to PSW is removed while there is still a call for heat, the ignition sequence will start again, but the main valves will not be energized until PSW sees power during the ignition sequence.
At the start of an ignition sequence, the control sends the combustion blower output (F1 and F2). If the control does not see power at PSW for more than 30 seconds, an airow fault is signaled, and the control will remain in this fault mode, with the blower on. If proper airow is later detected on PSW, the control begins a pre-purge and a normal trial for ignition.
If the PSW signal is lost while the Pennant is ring, the control will immediately de-energize the gas valve terminal (MV). The blower will remain on for the post-purge period (45 seconds), and the control will continue to monitor the PSW input. If the signal is detected during the post-purge period, a normal trial for ignition will begin, starting with the 15-second pre-purge. If the signal is not detected during the post­purge, the control will lockout with the blower off.
6.6 Programming the Temperature Control
6.6.1 Initial Controller Start-Up
When the Pennant is rst powered up, the temperature control display will show “801” (for a water heater) or “802” (for a boiler) for approximately one second. The default temperature parameter “°F1” is then displayed for approximately one second, which indicates that the default temperature parameter is
from thermistor 1, and is displaying in °F. Then, the temperature at thermistor 1 will be displayed.
To display the temperature at thermistor 2, push either the upper or lower button on the temperature controller, to the right of the display. Thermistor 2 reading will be displayed for 5 seconds. To make the thermistor 2 reading the default display, or to show the temperatures in °C, program the control as shown in sections 6.6.6 and 6.6.7.
6.6.2 Display Denitions
Tables 10 and 11 also show this information, consolidated for quick reference.
Default Temperature Display – This is what the user chooses to have displayed normally on the controller. It can be either the temperature at thermistor 1 (rt1) or at thermistor 2 (rt2) if used. While the default temperature is displayed, the user may look at the other temperature by pressing the upper or lower button on the control. To access the programming menu from here, press and hold the upper and lower buttons at the same time until “SEL” is displayed.
SEL – Displayed when the upper and lower buttons on the control are pressed and held while the default temperature is displayed. This indicates that you are entering the programming mode. When the buttons are released, the rst menu item, Ch1, is displayed. If no buttons are pressed in 30 seconds, the control will return to the default display.
Ch1 – Control loop 1 (thermistor 1). This is the rst display shown after entering the programming mode. It is related to the Pennant temperature sensor, thermistor 1. To view or make changes to the Ch1 parameters, press and hold the upper and lower buttons at the same time. The sub menu items are then displayed, one after another at approximately two-second intervals. When the buttons are released, the parameter that is showing can be changed by pressing the upper or lower buttons. The new value is functional immediately. To get to the next parameter, press and hold both buttons again. After 30 seconds of no button activity, the displays goes back to the default temperature.
SP1 – Control loop 1 (Pennant) temperature set point. Factory default is 165°F (74°C) for boilers, and 130°F (54°C) for water heaters. It is adjustable 130°F to 220°F (54°C to 104°C) for boilers and 130°F to 190°F (54°C to 88°C) for water heaters. Stage 1 is energized when the temperature at the Pennant sensor is less than or equal to SP1-td1. Stage 1 is de­energized when the temperature at the Pennant sensor is greater than, or equal to SP1.
td1 – Control loop 1 (Pennant) temperature set point differential. Factory default is 10°F (6°C) for boilers and 5°F (3°C) for water heaters. It is adjustable from 2°F to 20°F (1°C to 11°C). This denes the temperature below the setpoint that stage 1 is energized on a fall in temperature.

St2 – Stage 2 temperature differential, for 2-stage units. Factory default is 5°F (3°C). It is adjustable from 0°F to 20°F (0°C to 11°C). Stage 2 (high re) is energized after the Std time delay, which begins when the Pennant sensor reads less than or equal to SP1-td1­St2. When set at 0°F/C, stage 2 is energized using only the time delay Std.
Std – Stage 2 time delay. Default is 10 seconds. It is adjustable from 0 to 300 seconds. Std and St2 work together to determine when stage 2 (high re) is activated on a two-stage unit.
Ch2 – Control loop 2 (thermistor 2). It is accessed by pressing and holding the upper and lower buttons, so that SEL appears, and then pressing one of the buttons to scroll until Ch2 appears. This allows programming access for the auxiliary thermistor.
En2 – Status of control loop 2, either on or off. Default is on. Thermistor 2 will not be recognized when En2 is off. (ICE and EP can override Ch2.)
SP2 – Control loop 2 (auxiliary) temperature setpoint. Factory default is 180°F (82°C) for boilers, and 125°F for water heaters. It is adjustable 35°F to 240°F (2°C to 116°C) for boilers and 65°F to 190°F (18°C to 88°C) for water heaters. The Pennant is called for heat and the auxiliary contacts are closed when the temperature at the secondary sensor is less than or equal to SP2-td2. The Pennant call for heat ends, and the auxiliary contacts are opened when the temperature at the secondary sensor is greater than, or equal to SP2.
td2 – Control loop 2 (auxiliary) temperature setpoint differential. Factory default is 5°F (3°C). It is adjustable from 2°F to 20°F (1°C to 11°C). This denes the temperature below the setpoint that the Pennant is called for heat and the auxiliary contacts are closed on a fall in temperature.
ICE – Enables response from the low temperature protection feature. It can be turned on or off, and the default is on. When it is enabled, the Pennant is called for heat and the auxiliary contacts are energized when the temperature sensor detects less than 40°F (4°C), and are de-energized when the temperature rises above 45°F (7°C).
EP – Enables the exerciser feature. It can be turned on or off, and the default is on. When it is enabled, the auxiliary contacts are closed for one minute, if they have not been closed over the last 72 hours.
dEf – Default temperature display. Factory default is rt1, which is the temperature at the Pennant sensor (thermistor 1). The user may choose rt2, which is the temperature at the auxiliary sensor (thermistor
2). To access this, press and hold both upper and lower buttons. When “SEL” is displayed, press either the upper or lower button, until “dEf” is displayed.

6.7 Operating the Burner and Set-Up
6.7.1 Set-Up for 0 to 2500 Feet Altitude
The setup must be checked before the unit is put in operation. Problems such as failure to start, rough ignition, strong exhaust odors, etc. can be due to improper setup. Damage to the Pennant resulting from improper setup is not covered by the limited warranty.
1. Using this manual, make sure the installation
is complete and fully in compliance with the
instructions.
2. Determine that the appliance and system are
lled with water and all air has been bled from
both. Open all valves.
3. Observe all warnings on the Operating
Instructions label and turn on gas and electrical
power to appliance.
4. Switch on the appliance power switch located on
the right side of the unit.
5. The Pennant will enter the start sequence, as long
as the unit is being called for heat. The blower
and pump come on for pre-purge, then the ignitor
warm-up sequence starts and after the ignitor
warm-up is complete and all safety devices are
veried, the gas valves open. If ignition doesn’t
occur, check that there is proper gas supply.
Wait 5 minutes and start the unit again. During
initial start up, air in the gas line may cause the
Pennant to "lock out" during the rst few trials
Page 32
Pennant 200, 300, 400
Page 33
LAARS Heating Systems
for ignition. If the ignition control locks out, reset by cycling the power off and on using the main power switch on the right side of the cabinet.
6. When the unit is running, the supply gas pressure must be checked. Inlet gas pressure must not exceed 13 in. w.c. (3.2 kPa). The minimum inlet gas pressure is 5 in. w.c. (1.2 kPa) and 8 in. w.c. (2 kPa) for LP.
7. Once the inlet gas pressure is veried, the outlet gas pressure from each valve (manifold gas pressure) must be checked, and adjusted, if necessary. The manifold gas pressure must be 3.0 in. w.c. (0.62 kPa) for natural gas and 9.0 in. w.c. (2.2 kPa) for LP.
8. Complete the setup by checking the CO2 at the outlet of the unit. The CO2 should be 8% for natural gas, or 9.2% for LP.
9. After placing the appliance in operation, the Burner Safety Shutoff Device must be tested.
To test:
(a) Close gas shutoff valve with burner
operating.
(b) The ame will go out and blower will
continue to run for the post purge cycle. Three attempts to light will follow. Ignition will not occur as the gas is off. The ignition control will lockout, and will have to be reset by cycling the power before the unit will operate.
(c) Open gas shutoff valve. Restart the
appliance. The ignition sequence will start again and the burner will start. The appliance will return to its previous mode of operation.
6.7.2 High Altitude Adjustment and
Set-Up
High altitude adjustment must not be made on
appliances operating at elevations below 2500 ft. (762 m).
No orice changes are required to adjust the
Pennant appliances for high altitude. High altitude adjustment is accomplished by adjustment of the air shutter. A CO2 or O2 analyzer is required to make these adjustments.
Start the adjustment process by checking the CO2
in the “as installed” condition. Adjust the air shutter(s) so that the CO2 is about 8% or the O2 is about 6.8% for appliances operating on natural gas. For appliances operating on LP Gas adjust the air shutter(s) so that the CO2 is about 9.2% or the O2 is about 6.8%.
If the appropriate CO2 / O2 levels cannot be
achieved by adjusting the air shutter. Contact the Technical Services Department at (800) 900-9276.
The amount of derate will vary depending on
heating value of the fuel and the elevation at the installation site.
Caution
Should any odor of gas be detected, or if the gas burner does not appear to be functioning in a normal manner, close main shutoff valve, do not shut off switch, and contact your heating contractor, gas company, or factory representative.
Attention
Si vous sentez une odeur de gaz ou si le brûleur à gaz ne parait pas fonctionner de manière normale, fermez la vanne d’isolement, ne fermez aucun interrupteur, et appelez votre entreprise de chauffage, la compagnie de gaz ou un représentant
du fabricant..

This step to be performed by a qualied
service person.
6.9 To Restart the Pennant
If drained, follow Section 6.1 in this manual for
proper lling and purging.
1. Switch off the main electrical disconnect switch.
2. Close all manual gas valves.
3. WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES.
4. Set the aquastat or thermostat to its lowest setting.
5. Open all manual gas valves.
6. Reset all safety switches (pressure switch, manual reset high limit, etc.).
7. Set the temperature controller to the desired temperature setting and switch on electrical power.
8. Burner will go through a pre-purge period and ignitor warm-up period, followed by ignition.
SECTION 7. Maintenance
7.1 System Maintenance
1. Lubricate the system water-circulating pump, if required, per the instructions on the pump.
2. If a strainer is employed in a pressure reducing valve or the piping, clean it every six months.
3. Inspect the venting system for obstruction or leakage at least once a year. Periodically clean the screens in the vent terminal and combustion air terminal (when used).
Pennant 200, 300, 400
Page 33
4. Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable vapors and liquids.
5. If the appliance is not going to be used for extended periods in locations where freezing normally occurs, it should be isolated from the system and completely drained of all water. All systems connected to it should also be drained or protected from freezing.
6. Low water cutoffs, if installed, should be checked every 6 months. Float type low water cutoff should be ushed periodically.
7. Inspect ue passages, and clean with brushes/ vacuums, if necessary. Sooting in ue passages indicates improper combustion. Determine the cause and correct.
8. Inspect the vent system and air intake system, and if the vent system is Category III, ensure that all joints are sealed properly. If joints need to be resealed, follow venting manufacturer's instructions to clean and reseal vent system.

k. Flow switch l. Gas train m. Control components
7.2.1 Burners
Close main manual gas valve before proceeding. Checking the burners for debris - Remove the ignitor/ burner access panel and ignitor, and inspect the burners through the ignitor hole using a ashlight to illuminate. If there is any indication of debris on the burners that is visible, all the burners will need to be inspected more thoroughly. Remove the gas manifold assemblies and the burner assemblies. Inspect the burners. Clean burners, if necessary, by blowing compressed air from the outside of the burners into the center of the burner. A dirty burner may be an indication of improper combustion or dirty combustion air. Determine the cause, and correct. Replace the burners in the reverse order.
7.2.2 Filter
The lter used in the Pennant is washable and has an 80% arrestance rating. Since the lter is washable, it will only need replacement occasionally. If lter replacement is needed, it should only be replaced with a factory part. Inspect the air lter monthly, or more often in dirty environments. If there is debris on the air lter, remove it from the lter frame, and wash it with mild soap and water. Ensure that the lter is completely dry before reinstalling.
7.2.3 Gas Valves
The gas valves are designed to operate with supply pressures of 4-13 in. w.c. (1.0 to 3.2 kPa).
To remove a valve, shut off 120-volt power and the manual gas shutoff valve. Remove the front panels from the unit. Disconnect the wires to the valve. Disengage the unions before and after the valve, and remove the valve. Pull the pipe nipples from the inlet and outlet of the valve, and clean the threads on the pipe nipples for reuse. Apply new tape or pipe dope to the pipe nipples (threaded joints should be coated with piping compound resistant to action of liqueed petroleum gas), and reinstall in reverse order. Turn on manual gas shutoff valve and 120 volt power and check appliance operation and tightness of gas valve connections.
7.2.4 Manual Reset High Limit Control
The high limit switch is a manual reset, non­adjustable switch with a remote bulb-type sensor. Switches for water heaters and low temperature boiler models are set at 200°F. Switches for standard boilers are set at 240°F.
The control is located behind the front door, on a panel in front of the blower. The probe is in the outlet side of the header.

LAARS Heating Systems
To reset the switch, unscrew the black cover that is over the reset button, and push the button. Replace the cover after the switch is reset.
To replace, shut off power to the appliance. Remove the cover that is over the button, and remove the nut that is around the button. Pull the control through the panel, and remove the spade terminals. Replace in reverse order.
7.2.5 Temperature Control
The temperature control works with the ignition control to ensure proper operation of the Pennant. To replace the control, shut off the 120-volt power to the appliance. Remove the cover from the control panel, and remove the mounting screws to remove the controller. Replace in reverse order.
7.2.6 Ignition Control
The ignition control controls the hot surface ignitor and proves that the ame signal is appropriate for powering the gas valves. It also controls the blower’s pre-purge and post-purge.
To replace a control, shut off the 120-volt power to the appliance. Remove the cover from the control panel. Remove the electrical connectors from the ignition control. Take out the controller’s mounting screws, and pull the controller out. Replace in reverse order.
7.2.9 Flow Switch
The Pennant uses a paddle-type ow switch to ensure that the unit has water ow before ignition is allowed. To replace the ow switch, turn off the 120­volt power to the appliance. Isolate the boiler or water heater from the system by closing the isolation valves.
Caution
Water may be hot enough to scald. Allow water to cool before proceeding.
Attention
L’eau peut être chaude au point de vous brûler. Laissez refroidir l’eau avant d’intervenir.
Release pressure in the system by actuating the pressure relief valves or eld supplied boiler drain valve. Remove cover from the ow switch and disconnect the wires. Unthread the ow switch from piping. Ensure the new ow switch paddles are trimmed to the same size as the original paddles, and reinstall in the reverse order. For boiler and other static pressure systems, restore the system pressure to the original setting, (or 10 psi minimum).
7.2.10 Heat Exchanger Coil
7.2.7 Ignitor
The ignitor used is a 120v “Hot Surface” type. It is energized whenever there is a call for heat and switched off when ignition is established and the ame has been sensed. To replace the ignitor, shut off the 120-volt power to the appliance, remove the ignitor/ burner access panel, disconnect the Molex connector, remove the two mounting screws on the ignitor ange, and pull the ignitor out. Install in reverse order, always using a new ignitor gasket with the replacement ignitor.
Caution
Ignitor gets hot. To avoid injury, handle the ignitor with caution.
Attention
Le dispositif d’allumage devient très chaud. Manipulez le dispositif d’allumage avec précaution.
7.2.8 Transformer
The Pennant’s transformer is not capable of supplying control voltage for external devices such as zone valves, which must have their own separate power supply. Should a transformer need replacing, shut off the 120-volt power. Unplug the transformer wires, remove the mounting screws and remove the transformer. Replace transformer in the reverse order.
WARNING
Black carbon soot buildup on a dirty heat exchanger can be ignited by a random spark or flame thereby creating a risk of fire or explosion. To prevent this from happening, dampen the soot deposits with a wet brush or fine water spray before servicing the heat exchanger.
AVERTISSEMENT
L’accumulation de suie sur un échangeur thermique sale peut s’enflammer au contact d’une étincelle ou d’une flamme et présenter un risque d’incendie ou d’explosion. Afin d’empêcher que cela se produise, humidifier les dépôts de suie à l’aide d’une brosse mouillée ou par une pulvérisation fine d’eau avant d’effectuer l’entretien de l’échangeur thermique.
The Pennant has a premixed burner system. These systems provide the burners with sufcient air for complete combustion, and black carbon sooting is seldom experienced. If sooting is suspected, view ports for inspection of the heat exchanger are provided on the side of the boiler. In the unlikely event that there is a buildup of black carbon soot or other debris on the heat exchanger, clean per the following:
1. Disconnect the electrical supply to the unit.
2. Turn off the gas supply by closing the manual gas
valve on the heater.
Pennant 200, 300, 400
Page 35
3. Disconnect and remove the wires, conduit and sensors from all components that are attached to the inlet/outlet header.
4. Isolate the heat exchanger from the water supply.
5. Disconnect the header anges from the inlet and outlet.
6. Allow the heat exchanger to drain. Remove the venting and remove the top, by removing the screws that attach the top to the side panels. Remove the side panels.
7. Remove the heat exchanger from the unit. NOTE: Heat exchangers are heavy and may require two people to remove to avoid personal injury.
8. Clean the heat exchanger: A light accumulation of soot or corrosion on the outside of the heat exchanger can be easily removed. Use a wire brush to remove loose soot and scale from the heat exchanger.
9. NOTE: While the heat exchanger is out of the unit, inspect the rewall refractory insulation. Replace if necessary.
10. Inspect the inside of the copper tubes for scale buildup. Scale can build up on the inner surface of the heat exchanger tubes, which can restrict water ow. If the tubes show signs of scaling, clean the internal surface.
11. Reassemble in the reverse order, and check appliance operation after start-up.
NOTE: The warranty does not cover damage caused by lack of required maintenance, lack of water flow, or improper operating practices.
SECTION 8. Trouble Shooting
8.1 Resolving Lockouts
There are many causes of lockouts. The three
most common causes are: (1) inadequate gas supply, (2) poor combustion, (3) ignitor failure.
1. Inadequate gas supply: Before proceeding, ensure that the gas supply has not been shutoff or the LP tank (LP boilers) is not empty. Then, restart the boiler and observe the operational cycle. After a 15-second fan pre-purge, the ignitor will heat up for 40 seconds, and then the unit will light. If it does not, check the gas supply pressure to the appliance, after resetting the appliance and attempting another start-up. The gas pressure to the appliance must be above 5 in. w.c. (1.2 kPa) throughout the entire start-up cycle. If it is not, correct the supply problem (check gas valves or supply piping). If the supply pressure is adequate, consult the factory for assistance.
2. Poor Combustion: Poor combustion should be suspected if there is a strong ue gas odor. The odor may result from an improper gas/air ratio (high or low O2 or CO2). Pennant appliances operate best with 45% excess air (8% CO2 on natural gas, 9.2% CO2 on LP). Check the CO2 of the appliance and adjust if necessary.
3. Ignitor failure: If the boiler goes through a normal start cycle but combustion does not occur, ignitor failure should be suspected. Check the ignitor by unplugging the ignitor plug and measuring the ignitor resistance. It should be 50-80 ohms. If the resistance is not 50-80 ohms, replace the ignitor. If the resistance is correct, reset the boiler and check for 120 VAC at the ignitor plug during the start cycle. If there is no voltage, replace the faulty ignitor wire harness or the ignition control.
8.2 Delayed Ignition — Possible Causes
A defective burner can cause a delayed ignition.
If the gas supply pressure is proper and the gas valves are functioning properly, then burners should be inspected. There should be no distortion or perforations in the burners outside of the active burner port area. Replace if indicated.
8.3 Short Cycling — Boiler
Boiler short cycling is caused when the load
on the boiler system swings rapidly causing frequent cycling between call for heat and satised conditions. This condition is greatly reduced on two stage units or stage controlled multiple boiler systems which can change heat input to better match the load. If short cycling is a problem, it may be due to an oversized boiler, improper control strategy, incorrect set points or a load distribution problem. The boiler controls must be set such that the heating loop temperature setpoint, SP2 (if used), does not interfere with the setpoint of the boiler operating control, SP1. If the set points are correct and the system design, controls scheme, etc. are xed, the temperature differentials may be increased to reduce short cycling. If desired temperature response is not achievable without short cycling it may be necessary to install a buffer tank in the system. Contact your Laars representative to discuss possible remedies.
8.4 Short Cycling — Water Heater
Short cycling will generally occur only in
combination space heating and water heating applications when the water heater is operating in the space-heating mode. If the heating load drops below the minimum input of the water heater for an extended period, the water heater will have a tendency to short cycle. If short cycling is frequently experienced, regardless of the control’s attempt to limit it, the heating load should be redistributed to control it.
Page 36
Pennant 200, 300, 400
Page 37
LAARS Heating Systems
If short cycling occurs in a water heater application, it is probably caused by undersized piping between the water heater and the storage tank or by some other factor that restricts proper water ow through the water heater. The cause should be determined and corrected.
8.5 High Gas Consumption
Appliances operating with an improper air/fuel ratio are very inefcient and consequently, have very high gas consumption. Because efciency is high when the CO2 is high (or O2 is low), appliances operating with low CO2 or high O2 (especially LP appliances) consume more gas. Adjust the CO2 or O2 for optimum efciency. If no combustion analyzing equipment (CO2 or O2) is available then a proper adjustment of the air/fuel ratio (CO2 or O2) cannot be accomplished. The CO2 should be 8% at high re for natural gas and 9.2% at high re for LP. To check the CO2, rst verify that the supply gas pressure is within 5 to 13 in. w.c. (1.2 to 3.2 kPa). With the Pennant running with all stages ring, set the air box pressure to 1.8 in. w.c. (0.42 kPa) (as a starting point), by adjusting the air shutter(s) at the intake of the fan(s). Check the CO2, and adjust the air shutters if further adjustment to the CO2 is needed.
8.6 Troubleshooting Pennant Controls
The eld wiring board along with the diagnostic LEDs can be used to troubleshoot the Pennant controls. Terminals on the eld wiring board are provided as test points and allow troubleshooting of most Pennant control functions from a single location. The terminals are identied in the Ladder Wiring Schematic (Figure 14).
Certain control elements may be connected in the eld to the eld wiring board. In addition to the ladder wiring schematic, refer to the Connection Diagram (Figure 13) to verify that eld connections have been made correctly.
The Pennant temperature control and ignition control both have fault indicators. The temperature control fault codes are shown in Table 12. The ignition control fault codes are shown in Table 13.
