GETTING STARTED
Thank you for selecting the Raypak E-4 Boiler Alarm. It is our sincere hope that you will enjoy it's outstanding
design and ease of use. To learn about the E-4 Boiler Alarm, simply inst all it as shown in these instructions, and
then start using it. The following information will help familiarize you with the E-4 and will acquaint you with the
installation procedure.
INTRODUCTION
The E-4 Boiler alarm is a solid state electronic boiler status indicator and alarm panel that has been engineered
to enhance safety, simplify troubleshooting and minimize equipment down time. The E-4 Boiler Alarm is comprised of an alarm circuit board, a NEMA 3R rated rainproof enclosure, and the following components:
Standard Indicator Lights:
Power Green, indicates that power is available to the alarm unit.
Pilot Amber, indicates that the Pilot Valve circuit has been energized.
Main Gas Green, indicates that the Main Gas Valve has been energized.
Safety Shutdown Red, indicates a safety shutdown has occurred. Either the 24 or 120 VAC
signal is missing from the safety circuit.
Auxiliary Alarm Red, indicates a safety failure after a predetermined time delay has
expired. (Activated by the optional Auxiliary Alarm).
Alarm and Bell:
Mechanical Alarm Bell Standard bell: 3", optional bell: 4". Upon alarm activation, the mechanical
bell rings until the alarm is acknowledged by pressing the alarm silence
switch.
Electric Alarm Buzzer Upon alarm activation, the buzzer sounds a steady tone for ten seconds
and then pulses on and off at 2 cycles per second until acknowledged.
Alarm Silence Switch:
Located on the bottom of the enclosure, the alarm silence switch is a momentary switch used to silence
the alarm bell and buzzer after an alarm condition occurs. Once acknowledged, the bell and buzzer will
cease sounding until a new alarm condition occurs. The appropriate alarm indicator light (Safety Shut
down or Auxiliary Alarm) will remain lit until the alarm condition has been cleared.
Optional Remote Alarm Panel
The Optional Remote Alarm Panel provides a mounting panel and the necessary electrical components to
monitor the E-4 Boiler alarm at a remote location. It includes the following:
Electric Alarm Buzzer Provides an audible indication of a fault. See description above.
Indicator Light Red, indicates that a boiler fault has occurred.
Silence Switch Silences the electric alarm buzzers and the mechanical bell.
Optional Auxiliary Alarm Board
The Optional Auxiliary Alarm Board, when installed, activates the Auxiliary Alarm light on the standard boiler
alarm circuit board upon a fault in the monitored circuit. The Optional Auxiliary Alarm provides a user adjustable
time delay from 5 to 60 secs during which the Auxiliary Alarm verifies that the alarm condition is "locked in". The
Optional Auxiliary Alarm can be used to monitor a flow switch, low water cutoff switch or any other circuit that is
susceptible to spurious alarms due to transitory fault conditions.
