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.

Water Piping
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 must be installed with a
Primary-Secondary piping arrangement for the
integral pumping system to function properly.
2
NOTE: Minimum pipe size for the heater inlet/outlet
connections is dependent on the equivalent length of
piping between the load loop and the heater loop,
the operating conditions and the size of the heater.
See Table F on page 15.
Relief Valve Piping
Temperature & Pressure Gauge
The temperature and pressure gauge is shipped
mounted on the boiler outlet.
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.
Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to
the heater. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak
compounds.
To perform hydrostatic test:
1. 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.

Raypak Integral Cold Water
Protection
XTherm heaters are equipped with an integral cold
water protection system. Units equipped with the dual
injector pump system are designed to operate with
heater inlet water temperatures down to 50°F continuous. Under start up conditions the dual injector system
can operate with fluid temperatures down to 32°F.
Operation at lower temperatures will create unwarrantable damage to the injector pumps. XTherm WH
and WHP models equipped with single injector pumps
are designed for typical domestic hot water and commercial pool heating operating conditions respectively.
Contact your local representative or the factory for
applications assistance.
Hydronic Heating
Pump Selection
The heater is equipped with an integral cold water protection system that includes dual modulating injector
pumps to pull the required flow from the system loop
and a heater pump, sized by the factory, for the optimal ∆T across the primary heat exchanger. The
system is designed for continuous return temperatures
from 50°F to 180°F.

ter 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.
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.
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.
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.

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 XTherm 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.
Fig. 13: 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 integral
boiler pumps (P1) run 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 System Pump is
delayed “off” as user defined in the ADJUST menu.

Fig. 14: MODE 1 - Boiler Cascade with
Primary/Secondary Piping
Page 17
NOTE: MODE 1 can also be used for process heating 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. 15: 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 Indirect DHW Pump (P3) runs
during an indirect call for heat with no “off” delay. The
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. 16: MODE 3 - Single Boiler with Indirect
on Boiler Loop
Mode 3 (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 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 Indirect DHW
Pump (P3) runs during an indirect call for heat with no
“off” delay. The 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.
Domestic Hot Water
When designing the water piping system for domestic
hot water applications, water hardness should be considered. Table G indicates the suggested flow rates for
soft, medium and hard water. Water hardness is expressed in grains per gallon.

**Caution: For scale free operation with "Hard Water" (16-25 grains per gallon of total hardness), the operating control must NOT be set
higher than 130 F. For higher than 130 F operation, a water softener/treatment system must be utilized.
***Care should be given to prevent over-softening of the water as over-softened water can become aggressive. Cupro-nickel tubes are
recommended for water softened below 5 grains per gallon.
Table G: Domestic Water Heater Flow Rate Requirements
NOTE: Soft = 3–4 grains per gallon; Medium = 5–15
grains per gallon; Hard = 16–25 grains per gallon.
NOTE: WH units will operate to a maximum tank
temperature of 160°F. For temperatures required
above 160°F an “H” model boiler configured for high
temperature potable operation 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.
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.
Fig. 17: 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 integral Boiler Pumps (P1) run during any call for
heat. The System Pump (P2) output is active whenever the system is enabled. The Boiler Pumps are
delayed “off” after the Tank Target temperature is
achieved and as user defined in the ADJUST menu.
NOTE: If local codes require a vacuum relief valve,
acquire one locally and install per valve
manufacturer’s instructions.
1. All piping materials and components connected to
the water heater for the space heating application
shall be suitable for use with potable water.
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,
it shall not be connected to any heating system or
components previously used with a non-potable
water heating appliance.
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.

scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH or
other chemical imbalance is non-warrantable.
CAUTION:Combustion air must not be
contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which
can cause unwarrantable damage to the heater.
Pool Heating
When a boiler or water heater is used in a pool heating application, ensure that all the following installation
requirements are met.
The XTherm must be equipped with a direct coupled
Cold Water Run injector pump for pool applications.
The integral wet rotor injector pump system supplied
with all H and model 1005 WH XTherm heaters must
not be used for pool service. The direct coupled Cold
Water Run injector pump package is optional on all H
and 1005 WH models and standard on 1505 and 2005
WH and all P models. The Cold Water Run system
must be set to maintain 120°F at the inlet to the primary heat exchanger on all XTherm models.
To complete installation of the heater, the system sensor must be installed in the return water line, upstream
of the heater. The supplied electronic operating control is configured to operate as the thermostat. A
separate auto limit is shipped loose to be installed in
the system piping downstream of the heater outlet.
See Fig. 18 for the thermostat/sensor location.
WARNING: To ensure safe operation of the
XTherm pool heater, all plumbing from the heater to
the main loop must be CPVC, copper or brass.
*Maximum 4 times the pipe diameter or 12”, whichever is less.
Fig. 18: Single Pool Heater Application
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can
damage the heater and can cause unwarrantable
damage to the heater.
CAUTION: Power to the heater should be
interlocked with the main system pump to make sure
the heater does not fire without the main system
pump in operation. Improper flow control can
damage the heater. Uncontrolled flow (too high) or
restricted flow (too low) can seriously damage the
heater. Follow these instructions to make sure your
heater is properly installed.
Winterizing Your Heater
Heaters installed outdoors as pool heaters in freezing
climate areas should be shut down for the winter. To
shut down the heater, turn off manual main gas valve
and main gas shut-off. Close isolation valves. Drain
the heater using the hose bibs located on the bottom
of both heat exchangers. Disconnect the condensate
hose from the stainless steel condensing heat
exchanger and drain the condensate trap.
NOTE: There are 3 separate drains on the XTherm
that must ALL be drained to protect the heat
exchangers. These are accessible by removing the
lower front door from the heater for the 2 primary
drains and the right-rear panel for the condensing
heat exchanger drain. Drain any piping of all water
that may experience below-freezing temperatures.
Install limit in supply to pool as shown in Fig. 18.
*Free Chlorine MUST NOT EXCEED 5 ppm!
**In saltwater chlorinated pools, the total TDS can be as high as 4500 ppm.
NOTE: The allowable concentrations of salt and of the Total Dissolved Solids are lower for the XTherm than
for a typical residential pool heater, due to the higher water temperatures at which an XTherm operates.
Pool/Spa Water Chemistry
CAUTION: Corrosive water can cause unwar-
rantable damage to the heater.
NOTE: Chemical imbalance can cause severe
damage to your heater and associated equipment.

Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to the
pool heater and associated equipment. Maintain the
water chemistry according to the chart below. If the
mineral content and dissolved solids in the water
become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater efficiency and damaging the
heater. If the pH drops below 7.2, this will cause corrosion of the heat exchanger and severely damage the
heater. Heat exchanger damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.
For your health and the protection of your pool equipment, it is essential that your water be chemically
balanced. The following levels must be used as a
guide for balanced water.
Occasional chemical shock dosing of the pool or spa
should not damage the heater providing the water is
balanced.

Automatic Chlorinators and
Chemical Feeders
All chemicals must be introduced and completely diluted into the pool or spa water before being circulated
through the heater. Do not place sanitizing chemicals
in the skimmer. High chemical concentrations will
result when the pump is not running (e.g. overnight).
Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater and
have an anti-siphoning device to prevent chemical
back-up into the heater when the pump is shut off.
NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders
and chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause
rapid corrosion to the heat exchanger. Such damage
is not covered under the warranty.
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.

C
thread. A pipe compound rated for use with natural
nd propane gases is recommended. Apply
a
sparingly only on male pipe ends, leaving the two
nd threads bare.
e
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.
CAUTION: 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.
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.
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.
Fig. 19: Gas Supply Connection
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.

XTherm heaters are wired for 120VAC single phase
power. Models 1005 and 1505, except WH 1505 models equipped with a heater pump for hard water,
require 20A service for the heater and 15A service for
the heater pump or a single 40A rated circuit. Model
1505 heaters equipped for hard water require 15A
service for the heater and 25A service for the heater
pump or a single 50A rated circuit. Model 2005
heaters require 25A service for the heater and 25A
service for the heater pump, or a single 50A service.
Consult the wiring diagram shipped with the heater.
Use appropriately sized wire as defined by NEC, CSA
and/or local codes. All primary wiring should be rated
for 125% of the minimum required service. Before
starting the heater, verify that the correct 120VAC voltage is being supplied to the heater and pump.
If any of the original wire supplied with the heater must
be replaced, it must be replaced with 105°C or its
equivalent.
Power is connected to the heater via the rear wiring
box as shown at the top of Fig. 19. Main heater power
is connected to terminals 1, 2 and 3 and pump power
is connected to terminals 4, 5 and 6.
Field wiring connections such as sensors, interlocks,
enable/disable and alarm contacts are made at the low

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.
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.

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. 25). Alternately, any dry
contact closure (including a remote thermostat) across
these terminals will enable the XTherm 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, 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.

Wiring the Indirect Sensor
DOWN) setpoint.
(
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
2
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 pumps 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.
3. For a 4-20mA application, refer to the VERSA IC
manual (Cat. 5000.72).
4. Connect an Energy Management system or other
uxiliary control signal to the terminals marked 0-
a
10V (+ /-) on the PIM™ (see Fig. 25). 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 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 or a cascade of up
to 4 boilers, or the firing rate of a single 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
Drive (UP) input and a Target Temperature
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

General
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.
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.

Modbus BMS Communication
The VERSA IC control is equipped as standard with a
communications port for connectivity to building
automation via Modbus protocol. Refer to the VERSA
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. 25.
In a cascade system, the alarm output of the master
boiler will be active if either the master boiler or follow-
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 L for appliance category requirements.
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.
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.
Centrotherm polypropylene vent material is approved
to be used on XTherm products. A field installed vent
adapter supplied by Raypak (option D-33) must be
used to ensure a proper seal of the flue and condensate. The D-33 kit includes a required vent
temperature limit.

Page 28
CAUTION: Condensate drains for the vent piping
are required for installations of the XTherm. Follow
vent manufacturer instructions for installation and
ocation of condensate drains in the vent.
l
Condensate drain trap 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.
WARNING: Condensate is acidic and highly
corrosive.
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.
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.
NOTE: During winter months check the vent cap
and make sure no blockage occurs from build-up of
snow or ice.
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.
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.
Vent Terminal Location
1. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen
condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked
flue condition.
WARNING: All venting types must be of the same
material or product throughout the entire exhaust
installation to ensure proper securing and sealing.
2. Give special attention to the location of the vent
termination to avoid possibility of property damage or personal injury.
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.
5. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake
shall be located at least 12 in. above grade, including normal snow line.
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:
1. Vent must terminate at least 4 ft below or 4 ft horizontally from any door, window or gravity air inlet
to the building.
2. 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.
4. Vent must terminate at least 4 ft horizontally, and

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. Condensate is
acidic and highly corrosive.
The maximum and minimum venting length for this
Category IV appliance shall be determined per table
M.
The minimum flue pipe diameter for conventional venting using Category IV, stainless steel AL29-4C vent is:
6 in. (152mm) for Model 1005 and 8 in. (203mm) for
Models 1505 and 2005.
Termination
The vent terminal should be vertical and should terminate outside the building at least 2 ft above the highest
point of the roof that is within 8 ft. The vent cap should
have a minimum clearance of 4 ft horizontally from and
in no case above or below (unless a 4 ft hori-zontal
distance is maintained) electric meters, gas meters,
regulators and relief equipment.
The distance of the vent terminal from adjacent public
walkways, adjacent buildings, open windows and
building openings must be consistent with the NFGC
(U.S.) or B149 (Canada). Gas vents supported only by
flashing and extended above the roof more than 5 ft
should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow

Common Venting
8’ OR LESS
The NFGC does not address sizing guidelines for the
common venting of multiple Category IV heaters. This
is covered in the NFGC under “Engineered Vent Sys-
ems”. Table N provides the volume of flue products at
t
full fire for the calculation of appropriate vent sizing
and extractor for common venting.
WARNING: Vent connectors serving any other
appliances shall not be connected into any portion of
mechanical draft systems operating under a positive
pressure. If an XTherm heater is installed to replace
an existing heater, the vent system MUST be verified
to be of the correct size and of one of the Category
IV vent materials identified in Table M. If it is NOT, it
MUST be replaced. If PVC vent is to be used, reference the instructions starting on page 30.

NOTE: While a drain connection is required in the
vent of all XTherm 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 may
cause a non-wrrantable failure. Condensate is acidic
and highly corrosive.
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

must be installed at least 1 ft above ground level and
above normal snow levels. The Raypak-approved
stainless steel flue direct vent cap MUST be used
(sales order option D-15). The vent terminal must be
located NO CLOSER than 12” off the wall, and the discharge screens MUST discharge horizontally. The
long axis of the D-15 vent cap must NOT be vertical or
at an angle from horizontal.
WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent
cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would
jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.
Direct Vent—Vertical
These installations utilize the heater-mounted blower
to draw combustion air from outdoors and vent combustion products to the outdoors.
The total length of air supply pipe cannot exceed the
distances listed in Table M. Each elbow used is equal
to 10 ft of straight pipe. This will allow installation in
any arrangement that does not exceed the lengths
shown in Table M. The vent cap is not considered in
the overall length of 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:

jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.
Outdoor Installation
XTherm heaters are certified for outdoor operation in
non-freezing conditions only. Freezing conditions may
cause condensate to freeze in the condensate drain
line and trap causing the unit to shut down from a
blocked condensate drain. Additionally, components of
the condensate management system may be damaged by the ice formation. Units installed in freezing
climates for seasonal use must be winterized to avoid
freeze damage to the heater.

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. Condensate is acidic and
highly corrosive
NOTE: Centrotherm polypropylene vent material
cannot be used for outdoor installations.
Outdoor models must be vented with listed vent material per the following instructions and installed with the
optional factory-supplied outdoor vent kit. A special
vent cap is provided in accordance with CSA requirements. It must be installed directly on the vent pipe as
illustrated in Fig. 29 on page 30.
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.

The PVC vent adapter should appear as in Fig. 30.
Cleaning
Prior to installing the PVC pipe and fittings, ensure that
all burrs and/or ridges have been removed. Failure to
remove burrs or ridges will result in the cement in the
fitting socket being scraped from the socket surface,
producing a dry joint with a high probability of joint failure. Remove all burrs with a knife, or with abrasive
paper.
Surfaces to be joined must be cleaned and be free of
dirt, moisture, oil, and other foreign materials.
DANGER: Primer, cleaner, and cements are
extremely flammable. They are harmful or fatal if
swallowed. The vapors are harmful. They may
irritate eyes and skin and can be absorbed through
the skin. Read and observe all safety information
printed on primer, cleaner, and cement containers.
PRECAUTIONS: Always store primers, cleaner,
and cements in cool, dry, well ventilated places. Do
not store them near heat, sparks, or flames. Keep
containers closed. Use them in well ventilated areas.
Wear impervious clothing while handling. Do not
smoke, eat, or drink while handling. Wash thoroughly
after handling and before eating. Wear eye
protection when handling. If swallowed, drink water,
do not induce vomiting, and call a physician or
poison control center immediately. If inhaled, get
fresh air and seek medical attention if ill feelings
persist. In case of eye and/or skin contact,
immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes
and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
All primers, cleaners, and cements must meet all
local codes.
•Before using primers, cleaners, and cements,
stir or shake, making sure contents are liquid. Do
not use if found to be lumpy or jelly-like.
•Restoration of the original viscosity or removal of
gelation by adding solvents or thinners is not
recommended.
•Primers and/or cement should be NSF and/or
UPC listed.

Prior to installing Polypropylene pipe and fittings,
ensure that all gaskets are free of grease, oil, debris
or damage.
Installation
Vent pipes are joined by push-fit connections, with
EPDM gaskets located in the sockets. Pipes and
components must be installed with the socket ends to
the outlet and male ends towards the appliance.
It is not recommended to install polypropylene when
the material temperature is below 32ºF.
Joining
Lubricate gaskets and male ends of pipes with CENTROCERIN lubricant or water only. Push male ends
of pipes into gasketed openings with a light twisting
motion.
Cutting
Components should be selected to minimize cutting.
Where it is necessary, pipe sections may be cut to
length at male ends (non-socketed end) only. Any
cuts must be made at right angles to the pipe. Pipe
must then be beveled for insertion into the adjoining
socket to ease installation. All field cuts must be
deburred. Bends and other pre-formed components
must not be cut.
WARNING: Vent pipes must be adequately and
securely supported; the vent weight must not be
supported by the heater; this may cause
unwarrantable damage.

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.
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.
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.
High Limit—Manual Reset
WARNING: Turn off the power to the heater before

Outdoor Reset Concept
The Temperature controller can change the System
Set Point based on outdoor temperature (Outdoor
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.)
Resets to factory settings. Press UP and DOWN for 1 second to show CLR and load
factory defaults to all settings. This will also clear all history.

Press UP and DOWN for 1 second to clear the error logs.
Table S: 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.
44
Page 45
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. 45: Reset Ratio
The controller uses the following four settings to calculate the Reset Ratio (RR):
NOTE: The wiring diagram in this manual shows 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.
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/Pool
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.
EFORE OPERATING, smell all around the appliance
B
area for gas. Be sure to smell near the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
HAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
W
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

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.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
XTherm Error Codes
If any of the sensors detect an abnormal condition or
an internal component fails during the operation of the
XTherm, 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 XTherm 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.
52
Page 53
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
XTherm fault text section.
WARNING: When servicing or replacing any
omponents of this unit be certain that:
c
• 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.
XTherm 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.
If there is an active error, then it is displayed as the first item in the Toolbox Menu and it is the default display for
the control until the error is resolved.

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:
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.
Products causing contaminated combustion air:
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
Check for areas and products listed above before installing heater. If found:
•remove products permanently, OR
•install TruSeal direct vent.
•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
Areas where contaminated combustion air commonly
exists:
•dry cleaning/laundry areas
