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

The following chart details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.

Combustion Air Filter

Debris Screen

In take A ir Co llar

his heater is supplied with an integral combustion air

T filter. This filter will reduce the amount of particulates

assed through the combustion system and heat

p exchanger but will not protect against chemical air contamination (See Appendix). The filter must be checked periodically to verify that adequate combus-

ion air is being supplied to the heater. See the

t Maintenance section of this manual for information on checking the filter and establishing service intervals.

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. 35 (horizontal) or Fig. 36 (vertical) of this manual (pages 33 and 34, 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.

Fig. 11: Remove the Debris Screen

5. Install the intake air collar using the six screws removed in step 8 above.

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.

4. Remove the debris screen (or cover panel for model 1005) by removing the six screws holding it in place.

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.

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.

Page 14

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

Piping

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.

Feedwater Regulator

All high points should be vented. A heater installed

bove radiation level must be provided with a low wa-

a 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gas Supply

ANGER: Make sure the gas on which the heater

will operate is the same type as specified on the

eater’s rating plate.

AUTION: Do not use Teflon tape on gas line pipe

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.

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.

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.

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 voltage terminal strip at the front of the heater as shown at the bottom of Fig. 19.

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

Making the Electrical Connections

Refer to Fig. 20-23.

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.

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. 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

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 Fig. 26.

Venting

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.

Fig. 29: VERSA Follower

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 in no case above or below unless 4 ft horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.

Vertical Venting (Category IV)

Installation

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 and wind loads.

CAUTION: A listed vent cap terminal suitable for connection to the Cat IV vent materials, adequately sized, must be used to evacuate the flue products from the heaters. Cap design must prevent rain water from entering stack.

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

The vent cap is not considered in the overall length of the venting system.

2. The vent must be installed with a slight upward slope of not less 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 flue direct vent cap MUST be mounted on the exterior of the building. The direct vent cap cannot be installed in a well or below grade. The direct vent cap 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:

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.

Fig. 28: Direct Vent - Vertical

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

C particulate and chemical contaminants. To avoid a blocked flue condition, keep the vent cap clear of snow, ice, leaves, debris, etc.

WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would 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.

84. 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.

. Adjacent brick or masonry surfaces must be pro-

tected with a rust-resistant sheet metal plate.

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. 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.

Inlet and Outlet temperatures rise above 42°F.

WARNING: Do not install the heater outdoors if freezing conditions are typical. The condensate will freeze and back up the flue system.

PVC Venting Option (D-32)

Venting of the XTherm with PVC material requires the factory installed D-32 adapter kit. The PVC vent option requires a 200°F manual reset high limit.

CAUTION: The inlet water temperature to the XTherm must not exceed 170ºF at any firing rate to use the PVC venting option. The venting system must conform to local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. The system setpoint must not exceed 180°F.

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.

NOTE: Cleaners and primers are intended for different functions and should not be considered interchangeable. Verify with vent material manufacturer for specific requirements.

2) Dry fit pipe and fittings to be connected for proper fit.

3) Clean pipe and fitting with a cleaner.

4) Apply a coat of primer to pipe and fitting.

5) Apply a thin coat of cement to fitting, avoiding puddling inside.

6) Apply a liberal coat of cement to pipe leaving no voids.

7) QUICKLY assemble parts while cement is fluid! If you wait too long, re-coat pipes.

8) Push pipe completely into socket of fitting, rotating 1/4 turn to achieve proper orientation until it bottoms out.

9) Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds, then carefully clean off excess with a cloth. The glue bonds by melting the PVC and they will re-harden during curing.

10) Allow connections a sufficient time to cure before disturbing (follow manufacturer instructions).

11) A special sidewall vent adapter/termination must be used as supplied by Raypak per our listing.

12) Rooftop installations must use a category IV listed vent cap.

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.

Centrotherm Polypropylene Venting Option (D-33)

Venting of the XTherm with Polypropylene vent material requires the D-33 adapter kit available from Raypak.

Termination

Termination should be accomplished using the adapter as shown. The appliance and termination adapters are interchangeable. The vent temperature limit provided with the adapter must be installed per kit instructions.

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.

Displayed when an error code is present. 1 indicates the most recent error code. 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.

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:

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.

This appliance has a hot surface igniter. It is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the burners by hand.

TO BURNER

WARNING: Do not turn on gas at this time.

3. If the gas pressure is greater than 14.0 in. WC, turn off the main gas shut-off valve, upstream of the heater.

Check Power Supply

With multi-meter at incoming power, check voltage

etween:

Hot - Common (≈120 VAC)

Hot - Ground (≈120 VAC)

Common - Ground (< 1 VAC)

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. 46).

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. 46).

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

Start-Up

NOTE: The values in Tables T and V represent the

onditions when the heater is at full firing rate at sea

c 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. 46: 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).

Blower Check

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

2. When firing at 100%, the desired heater combustion CO2 is 9.0% ± 0.2% for natural gas and

10.2% ± 0.2% for propane with CO less than 100 ppm. If this combustion cannot be achieved with the blower suction within the tolerances specified

in Table T, contact the factory.

Page 49

Manifold Check

User Test

1. Check manifold gas pressure at the gas valve outlet pressure tap (connection “D” in Fig. 43). This pressure should read per the values in Table U for

atural and propane gas.

2. If the pressure reading differs by more than ± 0.2 in. WC, Verify against the “final test 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 XTherm 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. Refer to fig. 47.

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

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.

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.

8. To test the fixed manual reset high limit built into he PIM™, first set dip switch #8 on the PIM™ to

t 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

emporarily overridden to match the setpoint

t 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.

Post Start-Up Check

Check off steps as completed:

1. Verify that the heater and heat distribution units or storage tank are filled with water.

2. Confirm that the caps on the automatic air vent valves were opened two full turns during the venting procedure.

3. Verify that air has been purged from the system.

4. Verify that air has been purged from the gas piping, and that the piping has been checked for leaks.

5. Confirm that the proper start-up procedures were

followed.

6. Inspect burner to verify flame.

7. Test safety controls: If heater is equipped with a

low water cut-off or additional safety controls, test for operation as outlined by manufacturer. Burner should be operating and should go off when controls are tested. When safety devices are restored, burners should re-ignite after pre-purge time delay.

d. Open manual gas valve. Reset the ignition

control by pressing for one second and then releasing the reset button on either the user interface or at the PIM™ to clear the ignition fault.

10. To restart system, follow lighting instructions in the Operation section.

11. Check to see that the high limit control is set above the design temperature requirements of the system. For multiple zones: Check to make sure the flow is adjusted as required in each zone.

12. Check that the heater is cycled with the thermostat. Raise the setting on the thermostat to the highest setting and verify that the heater goes through the normal start-up cycle. Reduce to the lowest setting and verify that the heater goes off.

13. Observe several operating cycles for proper operation.

14. Set the heater thermostat to desired temperature.

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.

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:

• 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
