Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause minor personal injury or product or property damage if ignored.

Indicates special instructions on installation, operation, or maintenance which are important but not related to personal injury hazards.

WARNING: Both natural gas and propane have an odorant added to aid in detecting a gas leak. Some people may not physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with the smell of natural gas or propane, ask your local gas supplier. Other conditions, such as "odorant fade," which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can also hide, camouflage, or otherwise make detecting a gas leak by smell more difficult.

WARNING: UL recognized fuel gas detectors are recommended in all enclosed propane and natural gas applications wherein there is a potential for an explosive mixture of fuel gas to accumulate and their installation should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer's recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations, or customs.

Table courtesy of The Shriners Burn Institute

To meet commercial hot water use needs, the high limit safety control on this water heater will shut off the main gas valve before the outlet temperature reaches 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. When supplying general purpose hot water, the recommended initial setting for the temperature control is 125°F.

This section applies to Hot Water Supply Boilers and Hot Water Heaters ONLY. For sanitary rinse applications where outlet temperatures of 180°F to 195°F are required, a boiler is recommended since the 210°F limit on water heaters will NOT allow the heater to maintain these desired sanitary rinse temperatures.

Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when setting the water temperature on the thermostat. The most energy-efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is the lowest that satisfies the needs of the application.

Water temperature over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.

• Feel water before bathing or showering.

• Temperature limiting valves are available.

NOTE: When this water heater is supplying general purpose hot water for use by individuals, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve for reducing point of use water temperature is recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for further information.

Maximum water temperatures occur just after the heater’s burner has shut off. To determine the water temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water stream and read the thermometer.

CAUTION: Hotter water increases the risk of scalding! There is a hot water scald potential if the thermostat is set too high.

Time/Temperature Relationships in Scalds

Air Filter

An air filter is supplied standard with the heater. This filter is shipped loose for field installation. Refer to the Air Filter Kit Installation Instructions (Part No. 241338) for details.

Fig. 8: Air Filter Box

Motorized Combustion Air Dampers or Louvers

When dampers or louvers are communicating directly with outside combustion air, they must be interlocked with each appliance in the equipment room, to ensure

roper operation. See field wiring connection section

p of this manual for proper wiring instructions, using Fan/Damper dry contacts and external interlock.

TruSeal™ Combustion Air

In addition to the 3 previous steps, combustion air may be ducted directly to the heater by using PVC, CPVC or sealed single-wall galvanized ducting. The duct will attach directly to the air collar located on the inline Air Filter Box (shipped loose), using 3-4 sheet metal screws (not supplied) equally positioned around the circumference of the duct. The screen assembly should be removed before attaching any air duct. The screws and duct connection point must be sealed with RTV (not supplied). TruSeal is generally used when damaging contaminants are present in the mechanical room.

Direct Vent

If outside air is drawn through the intake pipe directly to the unit for combustion:

1. Install combustion air direct vent in accordance with Fig. 33 (horizontal) or Fig. 34 (vertical) of this manual (pages 31 and 32, respectively).

2. Ventilation of the space occupied by the heater(s) is recommended and can be provided by an opening(s) for ventilation air at the highest practical point communicating with the outdoors. The total cross-sectional areas should be at least 1 in.² of free area per 20,000 BTUH (111 mm² per kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the room, when the opening is communicating directly with the outdoors or through vertical duct(s). The total cross-sectional area should be at least 1in.² of free area per 10,000 BTUH (222 mm² per kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the room, when the opening is communicating with the outdoors through horizontal duct(s). Damage to the equipment due to inadequate ventilation of the space is not a warrantable failure.

3. In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freezeup, Raypak highly recommends the installation of a motorized sealed damper to prevent the circulation of cold air through the heater during the non-operating hours.

All ducting MUST be self-supported.

Conventional Combustion Air Supply

CAUTION: Use TruSeal combustion air if

damaging airborne contaminants are or may be present in the heater area. See the Appendix of this manual regarding air contamination.

U.S. Installations

All Air from Inside the Building

The confined space shall be provided with TWO permanent openings communicating directly with an additional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for a room large in comparison (NFGC). The total input of all gas utilization equipment installed in the combined space shall be considered in making this determination. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in.2 per 1,000 BTUH (2,225 mm2per kW) of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less than 100 in.2(645 cm2). One opening shall commence within 12 in. (305 mm) of the top, and one opening shall commence within 12 in. (305 mm) of the bottom of the enclosure. The minimum dimension of air openings shall be not less than 3 in. (76 mm) in any direction.

All Air from Outdoors

Canadian Installations

The confined space shall communicate with the outdoors in accordance with one of the methods below. The minimum dimension of air openings shall not be less than 3 in. (76 mm) in any direction. Where ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross-sectional area as the net free area of the openings to which they connect.

1. Two permanent openings, one commencing

within 12 in. (305 mm) of the top, and one commencing within 12 in. (305 mm) of the bottom of the enclosure, shall be provided. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors.

a. Where directly communicating with the out-

doors or where communicating to the outdoors through vertical ducts, each open- ing shall have a minimum free area of 1 in. per 4,000 BTUH (550 mm2per kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.

b. Where communicating with the outdoors

through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in.2per 2,000 BTUH (1,100 mm2per kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.

2. One permanent opening, commencing within 12

in. (305 mm) of the top of the enclosure, shall be permitted where the equipment has clearances of at least 1 in. (25 mm) from the sides and back and 6 in. (152 mm) from the front of the appliance. The opening shall directly communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors, and shall have a minimum free area of:

a. 1 in.

per 3,000 BTUH (740 mm2per kW) of the total input rating of all equipment located in the enclosure, and

b. Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent

connectors in the confined space.

WARNING: Do not use the “one permanent opening” method if the equipment room is under negative pressure conditions.

AUTION: All combustion air must be drawn from

the air outside of the building; the mechanical equipment room must communicate directly with the outdoors.

1. Ventilation of the space occupied by the heater shall be provided by an opening(s) for ventilation air at the highest practical point communicating with the outdoors. The total cross-sectional area of such an opening(s) shall be at least 10% of the area required in 2. and 3. (below), but in no case shall the cross-sectional area be less than 10 in. (65 cm2).

2. For heaters using a barometric damper in the vent system there shall be a permanent air supply opening(s) having a cross section area of not less than 1 in.2per 7,000 BTUH (320 mm2per kW) up

to and including 1 million BTUH, plus 1 in.2per 14,000 BTUH (160 mm2per kW) in excess of 1 million BTUH. This opening(s) shall be either located at or ducted to a point not more than 18 in. (450 mm) nor less than 6 in. (152 mm) above the floor level. The duct can also “goose neck” through the roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down and terminated 18 in. (450 mm) from the floor, but not near piping. This air supply opening requirement shall be in addition to the air opening for ventilation air required in 1. (above).

WARNING: Care must be taken to ensure that the equipment room is not under negative pressure conditions.

3. For heaters not using a barometric damper in the vent system, and when air supply is provided by natural air flow from outdoors for a power burner and there is no draft regulator, drafthood or similar flue gas dilution device installed in the same space, in addition to the opening for ventilation air required in 1., there shall be a permanent air supply opening(s) having a total cross-sectional area of not less than 1 in.2for each 30,000 BTUH (74 mm2per kW) of total rated input of the burner(s), and the location of the opening(s) shall not interfere with the intended purpose of the opening(s) for ventilation air referred to in 1. This opening(s) can be ducted to a point not more than 18 in. (450 mm) nor less than 6 in. (152 mm) above the floor level. The duct can also “goose neck” through the roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down 18 in. (450 mm) from the floor, but not near piping.

4. Refer to the B149 Installation Code for additional information

Water Piping

Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to the heater. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak compounds.

To perform hydrostatic test:

General

The heater should be located so that any water leaks will not cause damage to the adjacent area or struc-

tures.

CAUTION: This heater requires forced water circulation when the burner is operating. See Table F and Table G for minimum and maximum flow rates. The pump must be interlocked with the heater to prevent heater operation without water circulation.

NOTE: Minimum pipe size for in/out connections is 2 in. NPT for 503A and 753A models and 2-1⁄2 in NPT for 1003A–2003A models. Verify proper flow rates and ∆T as instructed in this manual.

Relief Valve Piping

WARNING: Pressure relief valve discharge piping

must be piped near the floor and close to a drain to eliminate the potential of severe burns. Do not pipe to any area where freezing could occur. Refer to local codes.

Temperature & Pressure Gauge

The temperature and pressure gauge is shipped loose for field installation and must be installed within 12 inches of the boiler outlet (if possible) in an easily readable location. Installation must comply with ASME Section IV as well as all applicable national, state and local codes.

Hydrostatic Test

Unlike many types of heaters, this heater does not require hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in operation. The heat exchanger has already been factory-tested and is rated for 160 psi operating pressure. However, Raypak does recommend hydrostatic testing of the piping connections to the heater and the rest of the system prior to operation. This is particularly true for hydronic systems using expensive glycolbased anti-freeze. Raypak recommends conducting the hydrostatic test before connecting gas piping or electrical supply.

. Connect fill water supply. Fill heater with water.

Carefully fill the rest of the system, making sure to eliminate any entrapped air by using high-point vents. Close feed valve. Test at standard operating pressure for at least 24 hours.

2. Make sure constant gauge pressure has been maintained throughout test.

3. Check for leaks. Repair any that are found.

CAUTION: Damage due to internal condensation may occur if the heater inlet water temperature does not exceed 120°F (49°C) within 7 minutes of startup.

Cold Water Operation

This heater is equipped with a proprietary condensate evaporation system which will evaporate any condensate that may begin to accumulate inside the primary heat exchanger with water temperatures as low as 120°F (49°C).

Heaters operated with an inlet temperature of less than 120°F (49°C) MUST have an approved low-temperature operation system (Figs. 10 and 11) to prevent problems with condensation. Inlet water temperatures below 120°F (49°C) can excessively cool the products of combustion, resulting in collection of condensate in the heat exchanger area beyond the capacity of the condensate evaporation system.

Failure to reach or exceed 120°F (49°C) may damage or cause failure of the heat exchanger, combustion chamber, or other parts within the combustion chamber. It can cause operational problems, bad combustion, sooting, flue gas leakage and reduced service life of the appliance and the vent system. A bypass allows part of the heater discharge water to be mixed with the cooler water returning to the heater inlet to increase the heater inlet temperature above 120°F (49°C). This precautionary measure should prevent the products of combustion from condensing beyond the ability of the condensate management system employed in this heater in most installations.

Warranty claims will be denied for damage or failures caused by condensation.

Cold Water Starts

Cold water starts, where the inlet water temperature

emains below 120°F (49°C) musthave cold water

r start protection. Known protection methods consist of mixing heated outlet water with the inlet water using a bypass to raise the inlet to 120°F (49°C) or higher. Once the system is heated up and has return water temperatures of 120°F (49°C) or higher, the mixing of outlet water with inlet water is no longer needed and the bypass can be shut off. If the bypass is not shut off as the system heats up, the outlet temperature may continue to climb and trip the high limit, thereby shutting down the heater. Thus an automatic valve system, such as a three-way proportional valve to control the bypass, should be used.

*Maximum 4 times the pipe diameter or 12”, whichever is less.

Fig. 9: Cold Water Start

Cold Water Run

Cold water run differs from cold water start in that the system water entering the heater remains below 120°F (49°C) continuously. Typically, this is the case in water source heat pump applications as well as some others. An injector pump arrangement may be used to keep the heater loop at or above 120°F (49°C). An injector pump approach has the added value of being able to adjust automatically to changes in the system water coming back to the heater.

In order to ensure proper performance of your heater system, you must install a correctly-sized pump. Raypak requires designing for a ∆T within the range of 16°F to 39°F (9°C to 22°C). See Table F for acceptable flow rates for each model (∆T is the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water when the heater is firing at full rate).

Feedwater Regulator

Raypak recommends that a feedwater regulator be installed and set at 12 psi minimum pressure at the highest point of the system. Install a check valve or back flow device upstream of the regulator, with a manual shut-off valve as required by local codes.

Notes: Basis for minimum flow is ∆T . Basis for maximum flow is gpm.

Piping

NOTE: Hot water heating systems all have unique

levels of operating diversity that must be accounted for in the system design. The system should always include adequate system flow in excess of the connected boiler flow for proper operation. Where the system flow may drop below the connected boiler flow a buffer/decoupler may be needed. Failure to design for adequate flow (i.e. bypasses, 3 way control valves, flow limiting balance devices, buffer tanks, etc.) will result in boiler short cycling and may reduce boiler life. Always contact your local Raypak representative for system design assistance to avoid these issues.

All high points should be vented. A heater installed above radiation level must be provided with a low water cut-off device (sales order option F-10). This heater, when used in connection with a refrigeration system, must be installed so that the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the heater with appropriate valves to pre-vent the chilled medium from entering the heater.

The piping system of a hot water heater connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to circulating refrigerated air, must be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the heater water during the cooling cycle. It is highly recommended that the piping be insulated.

Air-Separation/Expansion Tank

Fig. 11: Air-Separation/Expansion Tank

Three-Way Valves

Three-way valves intended to regulate system water temperatures by reducing flow in the boiler should not be used. Raypak heaters are high-recovery, low-mass heaters which are not subject to thermal shock.

Applications & Modes

The VERSA IC Control system is designed for a wide range of applications. The installer/design engineer should refer to the following Modes to determine which best fits the intended application and functionality for the unit being installed.

Type H models of MVB have three modes available to them to address the various applications the units can be applied to. Type WH units will only have the WH configuration available to them for use with potable water applications when directly connected to a hot water storage tank.

All heaters should be equipped with a properly sized expansion tank and air separator fitting as shown in Fig. 11.

Fig. 12: MODE 1 - Single Boiler with

Primary/Secondary Piping

Mode 1 (Type H Units Only)

This mode selection is for hydronic heating systems with single or multiple boilers (Maximum 4 boilers) in primary/secondary piping configuration with or without Outdoor Air Reset (S4). The system temperature is controlled by the System sensor (S3). The Boiler Pump (P1) runs during any call for heat. The System Pump (P2) runs whenever the system is enabled for heating and the outdoor air temperature is lower than the warm weather shut down (WWSD) temperature setting (if utilized). The Boiler Pump and System Pump are delayed “off” as user defined in the ADJUST menu.

Fig. 13: MODE 1 - Boiler Cascade with

Primary/Secondary Piping

OTE: MODE 1 can also be used for process heat-

ing applications in conjunction with a buffer/storage tank when operating temperatures above 160°F are required. Care must be given to ensure water hardness is no more than 15 grains per gallon for scale free operation.

Fig. 14: MODE 2 - Single Boiler with Indirect

on System Loop

Mode 2 (Type H Units Only)

This mode selection is for hydronic heating systems with single or multiple boilers (Maximum 4 boilers) in primary/secondary piping configuration with or without Outdoor Air Reset (S4) with indirect DHW on the system loop (with or without priority). The system temperature is controlled by the System sensor (S3). The Indirect DHW sensor (S5) determines the indirect call/tank setpoint. The system temperature is boosted to Target Max when using the Indirect DHW sensor (S5) during an indirect call for heat. Priority mode toggles off the System Pump (P2) when an indirect call for heat is present. The Boiler Pump (P1) runs during any call for heat. The Indirect DHW Pump (P3) runs during an indirect call for heat with no “off” delay. The Boiler Pump (P1) and System Pump (P2) delay “off” as user defined in the ADJUST menu. The System Pump (P2) runs whenever the system is enabled for heating and the outdoor air temperature is lower than the WWSD temperature setting (if utilized) unless an indirect call for heat is present with priority.

Fig. 15: MODE 3 - Single Boiler with Indirect

Mode 3 (Type H Units Only)

Domestic Hot Water

When designing the water piping system for domestic

ot water applications, water hardness should be con-

h sidered. Table G indicates the suggested flow rates for

oft, medium and hard water. Water hardness is ex-

s pressed in grains per gallon.

This mode selection is for hydronic heating systems with single or multiple boilers (Maximum 4 boilers) in primary/secondary piping configuration with or without Outdoor Air Reset (S4) with indirect DHW on the boiler loop (with priority). The system temperature is controlled by the Supply sensor (S3) whenever the indirect call for heat is not active. The DHW Supply sensor (S5) determines the indirect call/tank setpoint. During an indirect call for heat the boiler firing rate is determined by the water temperature at the Indirect Supply sensor (S6) and the Target Max setting when using the Indirect DHW sensor (S5). The Boiler Pump (P1) runs during all heat calls regardless of priority. The Indirect DHW Pump (P3) runs during an indirect call for heat with no “off” delay. The Boiler Pump (P1) and System Pump (P2) delay “off” as user defined in the ADJUST menu. The system pump (P2) runs whenever the system is enabled for heating and the outdoor air temperature is lower than the WWSD temperature setting (if utilized) unless an indirect call for heat is present.

NOTE: A Tank Aquastat can be used in lieu of the Indirect DHW Sensor (S5). See the Versa IC manual for additional details.

Fig. 16: WH Units - Single Water Heater with Tank

H Units - Single Boiler with Process Tank

WH – Direct DHW Configuration

When the unit is ordered as a “WH” configuration the only application available to it is direct DHW with single or multiple heaters (Maximum 4 heaters). The tank temperature is controlled by the System sensor (S3). The Boiler Pump (P1) runs during any call for heat. The System Pump (P2) output is active whenever the system is enabled. The Boiler Pump is delayed “off” after the Tank Target temperature is achieved and as user defined in the ADJUST menu.

NOTE: WH units will operate to a maximum tank temperature of 160°F. For temperatures required above 160°F an “H” model boiler must be used and great care must be given to ensure water hardness is no more than 15 grains per gallon for scale free operation. MODE 1 should be used and configured for setpoint operation for process heating applications.

NOTE: If local codes require a vacuum relief valve, acquire one locally and install per valve manufacturer’s instructions.

Cupro-nickel tubes are recommended for water softened below 5 grains per gallon.

Table G: Domestic Water Heater Flow Rate Requirements

Potable Water and Space Heating

CAUTION: When this heater is used for both

potable water and space heating, observe the following to ensure proper operation.

Automatic Chemical Feeders

All chemicals must be introduced and completely diluted into the water before being circulated through the heater. High chemical concentrations will result when the pump is not running (e.g. overnight).

1. All piping materials and components connected to the water heater for the space heating application shall be suitable for use with potable water.

NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders that are out of adjustment will cause rapid corrosion to the heat exchanger. Such damage is not covered under the warranty.

2. Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable water used for space heating.

3. If the heater will be used to supply potable water,

NOTE: Failure of a heat exchanger due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH or other chemical imbalance is non-warrantable.

it shall not be connected to any heating system or components previously used with a non-potable water heating appliance.

CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty.

4. When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C), a means such as a mixing valve shall be installed to temper the water in order to reduce scald hazard potential.

Gas Supply

DANGER: Make sure the gas on which the heater

ill operate is the same type as specified on the

w heater’s rating plate.

CAUTION: Do not use Teflon tape on gas line pipe thread. A pipe compound rated for use with natural and propane gases is recommended. Apply sparingly only on male pipe ends, leaving the two

nd threads bare.

Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the heater gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve located outside the heater jacket. It is recommended that a union be installed in the gas supply piping adjacent to the heater for servicing. The gas supply pressure to the heater must not exceed 10.5 in. WC for natural gas or 13.0 in. WC for propane gas. A poundsto-inches regulator must be installed to reduce the gas supply pressure if it is higher than noted above. This regulator should be placed a minimum distance of 10 times the pipe diameter upstream of the heater gas controls. Refer to Table H for maximum pipe lengths.

Gas Supply Connection

CAUTION: The heater must be disconnected from

the gas supply during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).

The heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the upstream manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). Relieve test pressure in the gas supply line prior to re-connecting the heater and its manual shut-off valve to the gas supply line. FAILURE

TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE. Over-pressurized gas valves are

not covered by warranty. The heater and its gas connections shall be leak-tested before placing the appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test. DO NOT use an open flame.

AUTION: Support gas supply piping with

hangers, not by the heater or its accessories. Make sure the gas piping is protected from physical damage and freezing, where required.

Gas Supply Pressure

A minimum of 4.0 in. WC upstream gas pressure under full load and a maximum gas supply pressure setpoint of 10.5 in. WC under load and no-load conditions for natural gas. A minimum of 4.0 in. WC upstream gas pressure under full load and a maximum gas supply pressure setpoint of 13.0 in. WC is required for propane gas. The gas pressure regulator(s) supplied on the heater is for low-pressure service. If upstream pressure exceeds 1/2 psi at any time, an intermediate gas pressure regulator, of the lockup type, must be installed. This regulator should be placed a minimum distance of 10 times the pipe diameter upstream of the heater gas controls.

When connecting additional gas utilization equipment to the gas piping system, the existing piping must be checked to determine if it has adequate capacity for the combined load.

The gas valve pressure regulator on the heater is nominally preset as noted in Table I.

During normal operation, carbon dioxide should be

9.0% ± 0.2% at full fire for natural gas and

10.2% ± 0.2% for propane gas. Carbon monoxide should be ‹100ppm at all firing rates, measured at the test port, 12” above the flue collar.

Table I: Manifold Gas Pressure Settings

CAUTION: For proper operation, no more than a 30% drop in gas supply pressure from no-load to fullload conditions is acceptable. Under no circumstances should the pressure be outside the

listed operational range.

Electrical Power Connections

Installations must follow these codes:

• National Electrical Code and any other national, state, provincial or local codes or regulations having jurisdiction.

• Safety wiring must be NEC Class 1.

• Heater must be electrically grounded as required by the NEC.

• In Canada, CSA C22. 1 C.E.C. Part 1.

If any of the original wire as supplied with the heater must be replaced, it must be replaced with 105°C wire or its equivalent.

All high voltage wiring connections to the MVB heater are made inside the rear wiring box as shown in Fig. 18. Power for indirect DHW pump not exceeding 5 amps should be taken from terminals 4(Hot), 5 (Com), and 6 (Gnd). Power for system pump not exceeding 5 amps should be taken from terminals 7 (Hot), 8 (Com), and 9 (Gnd). Power for boiler pumps 3/4 HP and smaller should be taken from terminals 1 (Hot), 2 (Com), and 3 (Gnd), and must be routed through the pump contactor; 30A supply is required. Power for pumps larger than 3/4 HP must be a separate circuit wired through the pump contactor. Power to the MVB heater should be connected to Terminals 1, 2, and 3 as noted in Fig. 18. All low voltage wiring, including sensors, interlocks, enable/disable, and various options are wired into terminals 1–24 on the front wiring panel as noted in Fig. 23.

Field-Connected Controllers

It is strongly recommended that all individually-powered control modules and the heater should be supplied from the same power source.

NOTE: Field-supplied isolation relays should be installed when field-connected controllers are mounted more than 50 equivalent feet (18 AWG) from heater. See wiring diagrams.

NOTE: Minimum 18 AWG, 105°C, stranded wire must be used for all low voltage (less than 30 volts) external connections to the unit. Solid conductors should not be used because they can cause excessive tension on contact points. Install conduit as appropriate. All high voltage wires must be the same size (105°C, stranded wire) as the ones on the unit or larger.

Check the Power Source

Fig. 20: Multi-meter

Making the Electrical Connections

Refer to Fig. 18-21.

1. Verify that circuit breaker is properly sized by referring to heater rating plate. A dedicated circuit breaker should be provided.

2. NOTE: Current draw noted on rating plate does not include pump current.

3. Turn off all power to the heater. Verify that power has been turned off by testing with a multi-meter prior to working with any electrical connections or components.

4. Observe proper wire colors while making electrical connections. Many electronic controls are polarity sensitive. Components damaged by improper electrical installation are not covered by warranty.

Fig. 19: Wiring Connections

5. Provide overload protection and a disconnect means for equipment serviceability as required by local and state code.

6. Install heater controls, thermostats, or building management systems in accordance with the applicable manufacturers’ instructions.

7. Conduit should not be used as the earth ground.

Fig. 21: Wiring Location

Fig. 22: Locator Dimples for Optional Components

NOTE: A grounding electrode conductor shall be used to connect the equipment grounding conductors, the equipment enclosures, and the grounded service conductor to the grounding electrode.

Field Wiring Connection

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection

when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

DANGER: SHOCK HAZARD

Make sure electrical power to the heater is disconnected to avoid potential serious injury or damage to components.

Wiring the Enable/Disable

Connect the Enable/Disable terminals to the field wiring terminal (shown in Fig. 23). Alternately, any dry

contact closure (including a remote thermostat) across these terminals will enable the MVB unit to run. Caution should be used to ensure neither of the terminals becomes connected to ground.

Wiring the Outdoor Sensor

1. There is no connection required if an outdoor sensor is not used in this installation.

2. If using an Outdoor Sensor (option B-32), connect the sensor wires to the terminals marked OUTDOOR SENSOR (see wiring diagram). Caution should be used to ensure neither of these terminals becomes connected to ground.

3. Use a minimum 18 AWG wire for runs of up to 150 feet.

4. Mount the outdoor sensor on an exterior surface of the building, preferably on the north side in an area that will not be affected by direct sunlight and that will be exposed to varying weather conditions.

Fig. 23: Low Voltage Field Wiring

Wiring the Indirect Sensor

1. An indirect sensor connection is not required if an indirect water heater is not used in the installation.

. When the Indirect DHW call for heat is active, the

PIM™ communicates this to the VERSA. The VERSA calculates the optimal operation and sends the firing rate and pump output requests to the PIM™ so it can activate the Indirect DHW pump and Boiler pump as needed. If an optional Indirect DHW sensor is connected, the PIM™ will pass this signal to the VERSA. This allows the VERSA to optimize the Indirect DHW demand to maintain the Indirect DHW setpoint. The Indirect DHW thermostat switch closure is still required when using the Indirect DHW sensor. If a VERSA is not present the PIM™ shall activate the Indirect DHW pump whenever the Indirect DHW call is active. The Boiler pump will also be activated based on the Indirect DHW piping configuration setting. Consult the VERSA IC manual (Cat.

5000.72) for additional configurations.

3. Connect the indirect tank sensor to the terminals marked INDIRECT DHW SENSOR (see wiring diagram). Caution should be used to ensure neither of these terminals becomes connected to ground.

NOTE: Alternately, a thermostat contact closure can be used in lieu of the sensor for indirect operation. Connect the thermostat to the terminals marked IND REMOTE THERMOSTAT.

CAUTION: Sensor and control wiring must NOT be run in conduit or chases with line voltage.

rive (UP) input and a Target Temperature

3. For a 4-20mA application, refer to the VERSA IC anual (Cat. 5000.72).

. Connect an Energy Management system or other

auxiliary control signal to the terminals marked 010V (+ /-) on the PIM™ (see Fig. 23). Caution should be used to ensure that the +0-10V connection does not create a short to ground.

Wiring the Cascade System Communication Bus

1. Designate the primary boiler as the master

boiler/boiler1 by leaving dip switch 2 on the VERSA in the ON position. All other VERSA controls require dip switch 2 to be toggled OFF, designating them as followers. Follower VERSA boards are ignored by their corresponding PIM™ modules. Use standard 18 AWG wire to connect the master VERSA to the PIM™ on the followers. A total of 3 followers can be connected to the VERSA on the master. For systems requiring more than 4 connected boilers, an external sequencer such as the Raypak Temp Tracker Mod+ Hybrid can be used.

2. It is recommended that the shortest length cable

possible be used to reach between the boilers. Do not run unprotected cables across the floor or where they will become wet or damaged. Do not run communication cables parallel with, or close to or against, high voltage (120 volt or greater) wiring. Raypak recommends that the total maximum length of each set of communication bus cables not exceed 200 feet.

Wiring the Optional 0–10 Volt Building Control Signal

1. A signal from an energy management system may be connected to the MVB boiler. This signal should be a 0-10 volt positive DC signal, and an energy management system can be used to control either the setpoint temperature of a single MVB or a cascade of up to 4 boilers, or the firing rate of a single MVB boiler.

2. To enable this remote control function, set dip switch 5 to the UP position on the PIM™. Dip switch 5 Toggles between an EMS (UP) signal or a demand signal from the VERSA (DOWN). Dip switch 2 on the PIM™ toggles between a Direct

3. Connect the FT_BUS wires to the PIM™ by pressing down on the slots with a small screwdriver and then inserting the wires into the holes. See Fig. 24.

Cascade System Pump and Sensor Wiring

1. On the boiler designated as the Master, connect the system pump enable wiring to the terminal block at the rear of the unit. The connections are dry contacts rated for pilot duty only (5A maximum).

2. Connect the boiler pump enable wires to the terminal block at the rear of their unit. The connections are dry contacts rated for pilot duty only (5A maximum).

3. Connect the system supply sensor to terminals 6 and 7 on the field wiring strip located on the Master PIM™ (See Fig. 23).

4. Connect the Outdoor sensor (if used) to terminals 8 and 9 on the field wiring strip located on the Master boiler (See Fig. 23).

Fig. 26: MVB Cascade Master Pumps

5. Connect the Enable/Disable wiring to terminals 11 and 12 on the field wiring strip located on the Master boiler (See Fig. 23). This connection must be provided through dry contacts closure.

NOTE: This dry contacts closure can come from a room thermostat or a remote relay. No power of any kind should be applied to either of these terminals.

Cascade Follower Pump and Sensor Wiring

1. Once the primary boiler has been identified, additional boilers will be designated as follower boilers. Ensure dip switch 2 on each follower VERSA is set to the OFF/Down position.

Modbus BMS Communication

he VERSA IC control is equipped as standard with a

T communications port for connectivity to building

utomation via Modbus protocol. Refer to the VERSA

a IC manual (5000.72) for further information.

Alarm Connection

An alarm annunciator or light may be connected to the alarm contacts on the boiler PIM™. The Alarm Contacts are 3A rated dry contacts on a normally-open relay that close during fault or lockout conditions, and the maximum voltage across the contacts is 30 VAC or 30 VDC. See the Field Wiring as shown in Fig. 23.

2. For each follower boiler, connect the boiler pump wires to the pump contactor at the rear of each unit.

3. The System and DHW pump outputs are not used in the Cascade Follower configuration.

In a cascade system, the alarm output of the master boiler will be active if either the master boiler or follower(s) have a lockout condition. The alarm output of the follower boilers will only energize if a lockout condition occurs on that specific boiler.

Venting

General

CAUTION: Proper installation of flue venting is

critical for the safe and efficient operation of the heater.

Appliance Categories

Heaters are divided into four categories based on the pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of condensate production in the vent.

NOTE: For additional information on appliance categorization, see appropriate ANSI Z21 Standard and the NFGC (U.S.), or B149 (Canada), or applicable provisions of local building codes.

CAUTION: Condensate drains for the vent piping are required for installations of the MVB. Follow vent manufacturer instructions for installation and location of condensate drains in the vent. Condensate drain must be primed with water to prevent gas flue leak and must be routed to an appropriate container for neutralization before disposal, as required by local codes.

Category I – A heater which operates with a non-positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.

Category II – A heater which operates with a non-positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.

Category III – A heater which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.

Category IV – A heater which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.

See Table J for appliance category requirements.

WARNING: Contact the manufacturer of the vent material if there is any question about the appliance categorization and suitability of a vent material for application on a Category IV vent system. Using improper venting materials can result in personal injury, death or property damage.

CAUTION: Vent piping is hot. Raypak recommends the use of double wall or insulated wall pipe to prevent personal injury.

NOTE: Ensure that clearances are maintained per Tables C and D.

Use only the special gas vent pipes listed for use with Category IV gas burning heaters, such as the AL29-4C stainless steel vents offered by Heat Fab Inc. (800772-0739), Protech System, Inc. (800-766-3473), Z-Flex (800-654-5600) or American Metal Products (800-423-4270). Pipe joints must be positively sealed. Follow the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully.

Extractors, draft inducers, and motorized flue dampers

When extractors or inducers are used in the venting system, they must be interlocked with each connected appliance, to ensure proper operation. If Individual motorized dampers are used, they must be interlocked to their repective appliance. See field Wiring Connection section of this manual for proper wiring instructions, using Fan/Damper dry contacts and external interlock.

5. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake shall be located at least 12 in. above grade, including normal snow line.

6. Un-insulated single-wall Category IV metal vent pipe shall not be used outdoors in cold climates for venting gas-fired equipment without insulation.

7. Through-the-wall vents for Category IV appliances shall not terminate over public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.

8. Locate and guard vent termination to prevent accidental contact by people or pets.

9. DO NOT terminate vent in window well, stairwell, alcove, courtyard or other recessed area.

Support of Vent Stack

The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on the heater vent connection. Support must be provided in compliance with applicable codes. The vent should also be installed to maintain proper clearances from combustible materials. Use insulated vent pipe spacers where the vent passes through combustible roofs and walls.

Vent Terminal Location

NOTE: During winter months check the vent cap

and make sure no blockage occurs from build-up of snow or ice.

1. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked flue condition.

2. Give special attention to the location of the vent termination to avoid possibility of property damage or personal injury.

10. DO NOT terminate above any door, window, or gravity air intake. Condensate can freeze, causing ice formations.

11. Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate from damaging exterior finishes. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal backing plate against brick or masonry surfaces.

12. DO NOT extend exposed vent pipe outside of building beyond the minimum distance required for the vent termination. Condensate could freeze and block vent pipe.

U.S. Installations

Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code.

Vent termination requirements are as follows:

3. Gases may form a white vapor plume in winter. The plume could obstruct a window view if the termination is installed near windows.

4. Prevailing winds, in combination with below-freezing temperatures, can cause freezing of condensate and water/ice build-up on buildings, plants or roofs.

. Vent must terminate at least 4 ft below, 4 ft hori-

zontally from or 1 ft above any door, window or

ravity air inlet to the building.

. The vent must not be less than 7 ft above grade

when located adjacent to public walkways.

3. Terminate vent at least 3 ft above any forced air inlet located within 10 ft.

5. Within 6 ft (1.8 m) of any gas service regulator vent outlet.

6. Less than 1 ft (305 mm) above grade level.

7. Within 3 ft (915 mm) of a window or door which can be opened in any building, any non-mechanical air supply inlet to any building or the combustion air inlet of any other appliance.

4. Vent must terminate at least 4 ft horizontally, and in no case above or below unless 4 ft horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.

5. Terminate vent at least 6 ft away from adjacent walls.

6. DO NOT terminate vent closer than 5 ft below roof overhang.

7. The vent terminal requires a 12 in. vent terminal clearance from the wall.

8. Terminate vent at least 1 ft above grade, including normal snow line.

9. Multiple direct vent installations require a 4 ft clearance between the ends of vent caps located on the same horizontal plane.

WARNING: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that sidewall vented heaters, installed in every dwelling, building or structure used in whole or in part for residential purposes, be installed using special provisions as outlined on page 56 of this manual.

8. Underneath a verandah, porch or deck, unless the verandah, porch or deck is fully open on a minimum of two sides beneath the floor, and the distance between the top of the vent termination and the underside of the verandah, porch or deck is greater than 1 ft (305 mm).

Venting Installation Tips

Support piping:

• horizontal runs—at least every 5 ft (1.5m)

• vertical runs—use braces

• under or near elbows

WARNING: Examine the venting system at least once a year. Check all joints and vent pipe connections for tightness, corrosion or deterioration.

NOTE: While a drain connection is required in the vent of all MVB installations, the drain can be accomplished in several different ways. The figures in this manual show the drain in a vent tee, however, this can also be accomplished using an inline collector for condensing stacks or an inline vertical or horizontal collector available from several of the listed vent manufacturers.

CAUTION: This venting system requires the installation of a condensate drain in the vent piping per the vent manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to install a condensate drain in the venting system will void all warranties on this heater.

Installation

These installations utilize the heater-mounted blower to vent the combustion products to the outdoors. Combustion air is taken from inside the room and the vent is installed horizontally through the wall to the outdoors. Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be supplied to the equipment room in accordance with the NFGC (U.S.) or B149 (Canada).

The total length of the horizontal through-the-wall flue system should not exceed 75 equivalent ft in length. If horizontal run exceeds 75 equivalent ft, an appropriately sized variable-speed extractor must be used. Each elbow used is equal to 10 ft of straight pipe. This will allow installation in one of the four following arrangements:

• 75’ of straight flue pipe

• 65’ of straight flue pipe and one elbow

• 55’ of straight flue pipe and two elbows

• 45’ of straight pipe and three elbows

The total length of air supply pipe cannot exceed the distances listed in Tables L and M. Each elbow used is

qual to 10 ft of straight pipe. This will allow installation

e in any arrangement that does not exceed the lengths shown in Tables L and M.

he vent cap is not considered in the overall length of

T the venting system.

Care must be taken during assembly that all joints are sealed properly and are airtight.

The vent must be installed to prevent the potential accumulation of condensate in the vent pipes. It is required that:

1. The vent must be installed with a condensate drain located in proximity to the heater as directed by the vent manufacturer.

2. The vent must be installed with a slight upward slope of not more than 1/4 inch per foot of horizontal run to the vent terminal.

3. The vent must be insulated through the length of the horizontal run.

Termination

The vent cap MUST be mounted on the exterior of the building. The vent cap cannot be installed in a well or below grade. The vent cap must be installed at least 1 ft above ground level and above normal snow levels.

The vent cap MUST NOT be installed with any combustion air inlet directly above a vent cap. This vertical spacing would allow the flue products from the vent cap to be pulled into the combustion air intake installed above.

This type of installation can cause non-warrantable problems with components and poor operation of the heater due to the recirculation of flue products. Multiple vent caps installed in the same horizontal plane must have a 4 ft clearance from the side of one vent cap to the side of the adjacent vent cap(s).

Combustion air supplied from outdoors must be free of particulate and chemical contaminants. To avoid a blocked flue condition, keep the vent cap clear of snow, ice, leaves, debris, etc.

The stainless steel flue direct vent cap must be furnished by the heater manufacturer in accordance with

ts listing (sales order option D-15).

Outdoor Installation

Outdoor models must be vented with listed Category IV vent material per the following instructions and installed with the factory-supplied outdoor vent kit. A special vent cap and air intake hood are provided in accordance with CSA requirements. These must be installed directly on the vent pipe as illustrated in Fig. 29.

CAUTION: Use of double-wall vent pipe is recommended to minimize the risk of personal injury.

Care must be taken when locating the heater outdoors, because the flue gases discharged from the vent cap can condense as they leave the cap. Improper location can result in damage to adjacent structures or building finish. For maximum efficiency and safety, the following precautions must be observed:

1. Outdoor models must be installed outdoors and must use the outdoor vent cap and air intake hood available from the manufacturer (sales order option D-11).

2. Periodically check venting system. The heater’s venting areas must never be obstructed in any way and minimum clearances must be observed to prevent restriction of combustion and ventilation air. Keep area clear and free of combustible and flammable materials.

3. Do not locate adjacent to any window, door, walkway, or gravity air intake. The vent must be located a minimum of 4 ft horizontally from such areas.

4. Install above grade level and above normal snow levels.

5. Vent terminal must be at least 3 ft above any forced air inlet located within 10 ft.

6. Adjacent brick or masonry surfaces must be protected with a rust-resistant sheet metal plate.

WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.

NOTE: The vent cap and air intake hood must be furnished by the heater manufacturer in accordance with its listing (sales order option D-11).

NOTE: Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked flue condition.

Fig. 35: Outdoor Venting

Freeze Protection

WARNING: Turn off the power to the heater before

installation, adjustment or service of any heater controls. Failure to do so may result in board damage, heater malfunction, property damage,

ersonal injury, or death.

AUTION: This appliance has provisions to be

connected to more than one supply source. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all such connections before servicing.

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock: More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.

Ignition Control Functions

When there is a call for heat, and all safeties are closed, then the combustion air blower starts to purge air from the combustion chamber. After the pre-purge, the igniter is energized. The standard ignition module will lock-out after failing to light 3 times during a call for heat. To reset the lock-out, press and release the RESET button located on the user interface. The control will automatically reset after 1 hour. When in lock-out the control will run the blower through a postpurge cycle.

To enable freeze protection, dip switch position 7 (on the PIM™) must be turned on (UP position). This is the default position.

If the water temperature drops below 45˚F on the Outlet or Inlet sensors, the Boiler pump is enabled. The pump is turned off when both the Inlet and Outlet temperatures rise above 50˚F.

If either the Outlet or Inlet temperature drops below 38°F, the VERSA starts the burner at the minimum firing rate. The burner cycle will terminate when both the Inlet and Outlet temperatures rise above 42°F.

Controls

WARNING: Installation, adjustment and service of

heater controls, including timing of various operating

functions, must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. Failure to do so may result in control damage, heater malfunction, property damage, personal injury, or death.

The single-try ignition module (part of the CSD-1 option) will attempt to light only one time before lockout occurs. To reset the lock-out, press and relase the

RESET button located on the user interface.

Turning off the power to the heater WILL NOT reset the single-try ignition module.

NOTE: Ignition modules are common for all model sizes. However, model-specific operating parameters are defined by their respective ID cards.

High Limit—Manual Reset

This heater is equipped with a fixed setting manual reset high limit temperature device as standard. It may also have an additional optional adjustable manual reset high temperature device.

Standard

The fixed setting manual reset high limit is built into the PIM™, it utilizes a dual element sensor located on the outlet (see Fig. 36). To reset a high limit lock-out, press and release the RESET button located on the user interface.

Fig. 36: High Limit (Manual Reset)

High Limit—Auto Reset (Optional)

This heater may be equipped with an optional adjustable auto reset high limit temperature device.

The optional adjustable auto reset high limit is located inside the heater junction box. Adjust the setting to approx. 20°F (10°C) above desired outlet temperature.

Low Water Cut-Off (Optional)

The optional low water cut-off automatically shuts down the burner whenever water level drops below the level of the sensing probe. A 5-second time delay pre-

ents premature lockout due to temporary conditions

v such as power fluctuations or air pockets.

High & Low Gas Pressure Switches

(Optional)

Fig. 37: Adjustable High Limit (Auto Reset)

Flow Switch

This standard, dual-purpose control, mounted and wired in series with the main gas valve, shuts off heater in case of pump failure or low water flow.

The optional low gas pressure switch mounts upstream of the gas valve (on the inlet flange to the gas valve) and is accessible through the removable access panels on the side or front of the heater to reset the gas pressure switch, as necessary. It is used to ensure that sufficient gas pressure is present for proper valve/regulator performance. The low gas pressure switch automatically shuts down the heater if gas supply drops below the factory setting of 3.0 in. WC for natural gas or propane gas.

The optional high gas pressure switch connection mounts down-stream of the gas valve. Special ports are located on the backside of the gas valve and accessible from the front of the heater (to reset the gas pressure switch) or through the removable access panels on the rear of the heater (to reset the gas pressure switch), as necessary. If the gas pressure regulator in the valve fails, the high gas pressure switch automatically shuts down the burner.

Operation of either the High or Low Gas Pressure Switch will turn on an LED inside the switch housing. Push the top of the plastic switch housing as shown in Fig. 40 to reset a tripped pressure switch. The LED will go out when the switch is reset.

The temperature controller varies the temperature of the circulating heating water in response to changes in the outdoor temperature. The heating water temperature is controlled through the modulation and/or sequencing of the cascade.

The Temperature controller can also control the system circulating pump with an adjustable Outdoor Cutoff. When the outdoor temperature is above the Outdoor Cutoff, the pump is turned off and no heating water is circulated through the system. When the outdoor temperature drops below the Outdoor Cutoff, the system pump relay is activated and the heating water circulates through the system. The temperature of the heating water is controlled by the Reset Ratio, Water Offset, and changes with the outdoor temperature.

Reset Ratio/Outdoor Reset

When a building is being heated, heat escapes through the walls, doors, and windows to the colder outside air. The colder the outside temperature, the more heat escapes. If you can input heat into the building at the same rate that it is lost out of the building, then the building temperatures will remain constant. The Reset Ratio is an adjustment that lets you achieve this equilibrium between heat input and heat loss.

Select ON to start the function. The setting returns to default after the test is run. (See Page 47 for details.)

Select ON to start the function. The setting will time out to OFF after 24 hours or can be set to OFF again by the user. (See VERSA IC Manual for details.)

Table R: Toolbox Menu

The starting point for most systems is the 1.00 (OD):1.00 (SYS) (Outdoor Temperature: Heating Water Temperature) ratio. This means that for every degree the outdoor temperature drops, the temperature of the heating water will increase one degree. With the VERSA, both ends of the slope are adjustable. It is factory set at 70°F water temperature (Boil START) at 70°F outdoor air (OUT START), and 180°F water temperature (Boil DESIGN) at 10°F outdoor air (OUT DESIGN).

Each building has different heat loss characteristics. A very well insulated building will not lose much heat to the outside air, and may need a Reset Ratio of 2.00 (OD):1.00 (SYS) (Outdoor: Water). This means the outdoor temperature would have to drop 2 degrees to increase the water temperature 1 degree. On the other hand, a poorly insulated building may need a Reset Ratio of 1.00 (OD):2.00 (SYS). This means that for each degree the outdoor temperature dropped the water temperature will increase 2 degrees. The VERSA control Reset Ratio allows for full customization to match any buildings heat loss characteristics.

A heating curve that relies not only on Outdoor temperature but also on the type of radiation will improve heat comfort. The user can fine tune these adjustments based on the specific building need.

RESET RATIO

The control uses the four following settings to determine the reset ratio:

Boiler Start (Boil START)

The Boil START temperature is the theoretical boiler supply water temperature that the heating system requires when the outdoor air temperature equals the OUT START temperature setting. The Boil START is typically set to the desired building temperature.

Outdoor Start (OUT START)

The OUT START temperature is the outdoor air temperature at which the control provides the Boil START water temperature to t

he system. The OUT START is typically set to the desired building temperature.

Outdoor Design (OUT DESIGN)

The OUT DESIGN is the outdoor air temperature that is the typical coldest annual temperature where the building is located. This temperature is used when completing heat loss calculations for the building.

Boiler Design (Boil DESIGN)

The Boil DESIGN temperature is the water temperature required to heat the boiler zones when the outdoor air is as cold as the OUT DESIGN temperature.

Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD)

When the outdoor air temperature rises above the WWSD setting, the control turns on the WWSD segment in the display. When the control is in Warm Weather Shut Down, the Dem 1 segment is displayed if there is a heat demand. However, the control does not operate the boiler to satisfy this demand. The control continues to respond to DHW demands.

Fig. 43: Reset Ratio

The controller uses the following four settings to calculate the Reset Ration (RR):

NOTE: The wiring diagrams in this manual show all standard options. Refer to the large wiring diagram provided with your heater for options installed on your specific unit(s).

For example, when using the default values, the RR is:

RR = (70 - 10) / (180 - 70) = 0.55

Therefore, the RR is 0.55:1 (Outdoor:Water).

START-UP

NOTE: The following steps must be performed by a

factory-trained technician.

BEFORE OPERATING, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell near the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

Pre Start-up

Filling System (Heating Boilers)

Fill system with water. Purge all air from the system. Lower system pressure. Open valves for normal system operation, and fill system through feed pressure. Manually open air vent on the compression tank until water appears, then close vent.

Air Purge (Domestic Hot Water Heaters)

Purge all air from system before heater operation. This can be normally accomplished by opening a downstream valve.

CAUTION: An air vent valve should be installed at

the highest point in the system for proper operation.

If water piping is located higher than the header, an

air vent valve should be located at the highest point

in the installed system.

Venting System Inspection

1. Check all vent pipe connections and flue pipe material.

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any telephone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s telephone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

• Use only your hand to turn the gas control valve handle. Never use tools. If the handle will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it; call a qualified service technician. Forced or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

• 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 which has been under water.

• Check around unit for debris and remove combustible products, i.e. gasoline, etc.

Pre Start-up Check

1. Verify the heater is filled with water.

2. Check system piping for leaks. If found, repair immediately.

3. Vent air from system. Air in system can interfere with water circulation.

4. Purge air from gas line to heater.

2. Make sure vent terminations are installed per code and are clear of all debris or blockage.

For Your Safety

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Attach Manometers to Measure Pressures

1. Turn off main gas valve.

2. Attach (1) 12” scale manometer to an upstream bleedle valve on the gas supply pipe to the heater (Measure point “A” in Fig. 44).

3. Attach (1) 24” scale manometer to the manifold pressure tap located on the shutoff valve downstream of the firing valve (Measure point “D” in Fig. 44).

4. Attach (1) 12” scale manometer near the fan-proving switch. Pull black cap from air pressure tee as shown in Fig. 45 and connect the manometer. NOTE: Retain caps for reinstallation later.

Start-Up

NOTE: The values in Tables S and T represent the

conditions when the heater is at full firing rate at sea level.

NOTE: Pressure and combustion data are provided with the heater.

1. Turn power on.

2. Turn on the heater, wait approximately 15 seconds after the blower starts, the igniter should start to glow (observable through the observation port located at the front, below the gas valve). Look into the sight glass located just below the gas valve near the front of the unit to check igniter operation. Gas valve should open in 45-60 seconds.

3. The heater ignites at 30% to 50% of full rate (as indicated on the LCD display of the temperature controller located behind the front panel).

4. If the burner fails to light on the first trial, it will try for ignition up to three times before going into lockout with the standard ignition module. If the heater is equipped with the optional single-try ignition module, it will go into lockout.

Fig. 44: Gas Pressure Measurement Locations

Check Gas Supply Pressure

1. Slowly turn on main gas shut-off valve.

2. Read the gas supply pressure from the manometer; minimum supply pressure for natural gas is 4.0 in. WC, recommended supply is 7.0 in. WC, minimum supply pressure for propane gas is 4.0 in. WC, recommended supply is 11.0 in. WC (dynamic readings, full fire input).

5. Wait until the controller indicates 100% on the firing rate display screen (approximately 30 seconds).

Fig. 45: Air Pressure Tee

Blower Check

1. Check blower suction using the manometer attached to the air pressure tee as shown in Fig. 45, with the heater firing at 100% input. The reading should be as noted in Table S for both natural and propane gas.

2. When firing at 100%, the desired heater combustion CO2 is 9.0% ± 0.5% for natural gas and

10.2% ± 0.5% for propane with CO less than 100 ppm. If this combustion cannot be achieved with the blower suction within the tolerances specified

in Table S, contact the factory.

Safety Inspection

1. Check all thermostats and high limit settings.

2. During the following safety checks leave manomeers hooked up, check and record.

. If other gas-fired appliances in the room are on the

same gas main, check all pressures on the MVB with all other equipment running.

Leak Test Procedure: Dual-Seat Gas Valve

roper leak testing requires three pressure test points

P in the gas train. Remove the upper front panel and

wing the front J-box out of the way to access the gas

s valve for this test.

Test point A is a bleedle valve located upstream of the combination gas valve on the supply manifold.

4. Check thermostats for ON-OFF operation.

5. Check high limits for ON-OFF operation.

6. While in operation, check flow switch operation.

7. Check the low gas pressure switch (if provided).

(For proper adjustment, use the attached manometers, if available, to set pressure. The scales on the switch are approximate only.) Low gas pressure switch (if provided) must be set at

3.0 in. WC for natural gas and propane gas.

8. Make sure that the high gas pressure switch is set

to 3.0 in. WC for both natural gas and propane gas.

Finishing

1. Record all data on the “Start-up Checklist” located

at the back of this manual.

2. Disconnect the manometers and reconnect the

cap on the fan pressure tee and reinsert the sealing screws into the bleedle valves.

3. Start-up is complete and the heater should be

operating properly.

Follow-Up

Safety checks must be recorded as performed. Turn heater on. After main burner ignition:

1. Check manometer for proper readings.

2. Cycle heater several times and re-check readings.

Test point B is a bleedle valve located between the two automatic gas valve seats.

Test point C is a bleedle valve located downstream of both automatic gas valve seats and upstream of the manual valve. Refer to Fig. 46.

These tests are to be conducted with the electrical power to the heater turned OFF.

1. Manually close the downstream leak test valve.

2. Open the bleedle valve at test point A and connect a manometer to it. Verify that there is gas pressure and that it is within the proper range (NOTE: must not exceed 14.0 in. WC).

3. Open test point B and connect a rubber tube to it. Connect the other end of the tube to a manometer and look for a build-up of pressure. Increasing pressure indicates a leaking gas valve which must be replaced.

4. Next, close the upstream manual gas valve (field supplied) and remove the manometers from the bleedle valves in test point A and test point B. Connect a rubber tube from the test point A bleedle valve to the test point B bleedle valve and open the upstream manual gas valve. Make sure that test point A & B bleedle valves have been opened so as to allow gas to flow. This will bring gas pressure to the second valve seat.

5. Open the bleedle valve at test point C and connect a second rubber tube to it. Connect the other end of the tube to a manometer and look for a build-up of pressure. Increasing pressure indicates a leaking gas valve which must be replaced.

3. Remove all manometers and replace caps and screws.

4. Check for gas leaks one more time.

6. Remove rubber tube and manometers. Close each bleedle valve as the tubes are removed.

7. After no leakage has been verified at all valve seats and test valve, open downstream leak test valve and restore electrical power to the heater.

GAS

TO BURNER

8. To test the fixed manual reset high limit built into the PIM™, first set dip switch #8 on the PIM™ to the ON position. This will activate a Commission Test Mode which will turn on the amber Alarm/Test LED on the PIM™. The fixed high limit setting is temporarily overridden to match the setpoint potentiometer position on the PIM™. The high

imit can now be adjusted by the potentiometer to

l assist in commission testing and verification of high limit functionality. The VERSA IC will allow one-time operation of the limit and then must be returned to normal operation by turning dip switch #8 back to the OFF position. Power to the unit must then be cycled off, then on to return to normal operation.

9. Test ignition system safety device:

a. Close manual gas valve. Turn power on.

b. Close Enable/Disable circuit to call for heat.

c. The burner should attempt three trials for igni-

tion for the standard model and then lock out. Single try ignition modules will try only once and then lock out.

TROUBLESHOOTING

MVB Error Codes

If any of the sensors detect an abnormal condition or an internal component fails during the operation of the MVB, the display may show the error. This code may either be the result of a temporary condition in which case the display will revert to its normal readout when the condition is corrected, or it may be the result of a condition that the controller has evaluated as not safe to restart the unit. In this case, the unit control will be locked out, requiring the maintenance person to manually reset the control by pressing and releasing the RESET key.

Heater Errors

When an error condition occurs, the controller will display an error code on the display module. These error codes and several suggested corrective actions are included in the MVB Fault Text section on the following page.

Heater Faults

1. When a fault condition occurs, the controller will flash a red light on the PIM™ and display the error code on the user interface. The alarm output will also be activated. Most fault conditions will also cause the boiler pump to run in an attempt to cool the unit.

2. Note the error code, either through the flash code on the PIM™ and/or from the Toolbox menu on the user interface, and reference the explanation of the fault along with troubleshooting steps in the MVB fault text section.

WARNING: When servicing or replacing any

omponents of this unit be certain that:

• The gas is off.

• All electrical power is disconnected.

3. Press and release the RESET key to clear the fault on the user interface and resume operation. Be sure to observe the operation of the unit for a period of time to ensure correct operation and no reoccurrence of fault code(s).

DANGER: When servicing or replacing components that are in direct contact with the water, be certain that:

• There is no pressure in the boiler. (Pull the release on the relief valve. Do not depend on the pressure gauge reading).

• The boiler water is not hot.

• The electrical power is off.

MVB Fault Text

Error Display

WARNING: Do not use this appliance if any part

has been under water. Improper or dangerous operation may result. Contact a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and to repair or replace any part of the boiler that has been under water prior to placing the boiler back in operation.

CAUTION: Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. See wiring diagram.

CAUTION: If overheating occurs or the gas supply fails to shut off, do not turn off electrical power to the circulating pump. This may aggravate the problem and increase the likelihood of boiler damage. Instead, shut off the gas supply to the boiler at the gas service valve.

2. Check instrument and equipment settings. (See “Post Start-Up Check” on page 48.)

3. Check burner flame. (Should see light blue flame at full input rate).

Annually

1. Test flame failure detection system and pilot turndown.

2. Test high limit and operating temperature. (See “Post Start-Up Check,” page 48.)

3. Check flame sensor.

4. Conduct a combustion test at full fire. Carbon dioxide should be 9.0% at full fire for natural gas, and

10.2% for propane gas. Carbon monoxide should be < 150 ppm.

5. Check valve coil for 60 cycle hum or buzz. Check for leaks at all valve fittings using a soapy water solution (while heater is operating). Test other operating parts of all safety shut-off and control valves and increase or decrease settings (depending on the type of control) until the safety circuit opens. Reset to original setting after each device is tested.

. Perform leakage test on gas valves. (See Fig. 46.)

Filter Replacement

7. Inspect and clean burner using shop air.

APPENDIX

Inside Air Contamination

All heaters experience some condensation during start-up. The condensate from flue gas is acidic. Combustion air can be contaminated by certain vapors in the air which raise the acidity of the condensate. Higher acidity levels attack many materials including stainless steel, which is commonly used in high efficiency systems. The heater can be supplied with corrosion-resistant, non-metallic intake air vent material. You may, however, choose to use outside combustion air for one or more of these reasons:

Areas where contaminated combustion air commonly exists:

dry cleaning/laundry areas

•

• metal fabrication plants beauty shops

•

• refrigeration repair shops

• photo processing plants

• auto body shops

• plastic manufacturing plants

• furniture refinishing areas and establishments

• new building construction

• remodeling areas

• open pit skimmers

1. Installation is in an area containing contaminants listed below which will induce acidic condensation.

2. You want to reduce infiltration into your building through openings around windows and doors.

3. You are using AL29-4C stainless steel vent pipe, which is more corrosion-resistant than standard metallic vent pipe. In extremely contaminated areas, this may also experience deterioration.

Products causing contaminated combustion air:

• spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons

• permanent wave solutions

• chlorinated waxes/cleaners

• chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals

• calcium chloride used for thawing

• sodium chloride used for water softening

• refrigerant leaks

• paint or varnish removers

• hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid

• cements and glues

• antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers

• chloride-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning solvents found in household laundry rooms

• adhesives used to fasten building products

• similar products

Check for areas and products listed above before installing heater. If found:

• remove products permanently, OR

• install TruSeal direct vent.
