WARNING
This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained
in this manual.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Read and understand the entire manual before attempting installation, start-up, operation, or service. Installation and service must be performed only by an experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable installer or service agency
This boiler must be properly vented.
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
The interior of the venting system must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions. Clean and unobstructed venting and air intake systems are necessary to allow noxious fumes that could cause injury
or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler’s efciency.
This boiler is supplied with safety devices which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start without service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent damage if the boiler is inoperative.
This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. Do not unscrew any pipe ttings nor attempt
to disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no
pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this
boiler to prevent scald injuries. Do not rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the temperature and pressure of the boiler. This boiler contains components which become very hot when the boiler is operating. Do not touch any components unless they are cool.
Boiler materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy metals, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which can cause death or serious injury and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and
other reproductive harm. Always use proper safety clothing, respirators and equipment when servicing
or working nearby the appliance.
Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death. Read all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers manuals which are provided with the boiler before installing, starting up, operating, maintaining or servicing.
Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors or liquids.
All cover plates, enclosures and guards must be in place at all times.
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas tter when installed within the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.

I. Pre-Installation
WARNING
Carefully read all instructions before installing boiler. Failure to follow all instructions in proper order can cause personal injury or death.
1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms communicating directly with space (through openings not furnished with doors) are considered part of space.
Volume [ft³] = Length [ft] x Width [ft] x Height [ft]
A. Installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such requirements, installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, and/or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes. Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to the Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1.
B. The boiler is not design certied for installation on
combustible ooring. The boiler must not be installed
on carpeting.
C. Provide clearance between boiler jacket and
combustible material in accordance with local re
ordinance. Refer to page 4 of this manual for minimum listed clearance from combustible material.
D. Install on level oor. For basement installation provide
concrete base if oor is not perfectly level or if water may be encountered on oor around boiler. Floor
must be able to support weight of boiler, water and all additional system components.
E. Protect gas ignition system components from water
(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap service, control replacement, etc.).
F. Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance
with applicable provisions of local building codes or: USA - National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation; Canada - Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CSA - B149.1, or Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA - B.149.2, Part 5, Venting Systems and Air Supply for Appliances.
WARNING
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided to assure proper combustion.
The following guideline is based on the National Fuel
Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.
2. Determine Total Input of all appliances in space. Round result to nearest 1,000 Btu per hour (Btuh).
3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by Total Input.
a. If result is greater than or equal to 50 ft³ per
1,000 Btuh, space is considered an unconned space.
b. If result is less than 50 ft³ per 1,000 Btuh, space
is considered a conned space.
4. Determine building type. A building of unusually tight construction has the following characteristics:
a. Walls and ceiling exposed to outside atmosphere
have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm or less with openings gasketed and sealed, and;
b. Weather-stripping has been added on openable
windows and doors, and;
c. Caulking or sealants applied in joints around
window and door frames, between sole
plates and oors, between wall-ceiling joints,
between wall panels, at plumbing and electrical penetrations, and at other openings.
5. For boiler located in an unconned space in a building of other than unusually tight construction, adequate combustion and ventilation air is normally
provided by fresh air inltration through cracks
around windows and doors.
NOTICE
Boilers operated with sealed combustion are exempt from needing provisions for combustion air from the room, provided air intake piping is installed per code and the instructions in this manual.
6. For boiler located within unconned space in building of unusually tight construction or within conned space, provide outdoor air through two
permanent openings which communicate directly or by duct with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) freely communicating with the outdoors. Locate one opening within 12 inches of top of space. Locate remaining opening within 12 inches of bottom of space. Minimum dimension of air opening is 3 inches. Size each opening per the following:
9
a. Direct communication with outdoors. Minimum
free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour input of all equipment in space.
b. Vertical ducts. Minimum free area of 1 square
inch per 4,000 Btu per hour input of all equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional area shall be same as opening free area.
c. Horizontal ducts. Minimum free area of 1
square inch per 2,000 Btu per hour input of all equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional area shall be same as opening free area.
Alternate method for boiler located within conned
space. Use indoor air if two permanent openings communicate directly with additional space(s) of
sufcient volume such that combined volume of all spaces meet criteria for unconned space. Size each
opening for minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1,000 Btu per hour input of all equipment in spaces, but not less than 100 square inches.
7. Ventilation Duct Louvers and Grilles. Equip outside openings with louvers to prevent entrance of rain and snow, and screens to prevent entrance of insects
and rodents. Louvers and grilles must be xed in
open position or interlocked with equipment to open automatically before burner operation. Screens must not be smaller than ¼ inch mesh.
Consider the blocking effect of louvers, grilles and
screens when calculating the opening size to provide the required free area. If free area of louver or grille is not known, assume wood louvers have 20-25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles have 60-75 percent free area.
DANGER
Do not install boiler where gasoline or other
ammable vapors or liquids, or sources of
hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, cleaners, chemicals, sprays, paint removers, fabric softeners, etc.) are used or stored.
NOTICE
Due to the low water content of the boiler, incorrect sizing of the boiler with regard to the heating system load will result in excessive boiler cycling and accelerated component failure. Thermal Solutions DOES NOT warrant failures caused by incorrectly sized boiler applications. DO NOT oversize the boiler to the system. Modular boilers greatly reduce the likelihood of boiler oversizing.
II. Unpacking the Boiler
NOTICE
Boiler crate is equipped with a tip and tell label. If
label indicates boiler has been tipped over during shipping, remove crate and inspect before trucker leaves.
CAUTION
Do not drop boiler. Do not bump boiler jacket
against oor.
A. Move boiler to approximate installed position.
B. Remove all crate fasteners.
C. Open outside container and remove all inside protective
spacers and bracing.
D. Remove all boiler hold-down fasteners.
WARNING

B. COMBUSTION AIR - See Figures 6 and 7.
1. The boiler may be operated with inside or outside air.
2. Refer to air intake piping drawings in this section for proper outside air installation details.
3. Combustion air conduit can be galvanized smoke
pipe, PVC, CPVC, or exible aluminum conduit.
4. The maximum air intake pipe length is fty (50)
equivalent feet. Air intake pipe length is equal to the total length of straight pipe plus the equivalent
length of ttings. Consult intake pipe manufacturer for equivalent length of ttings and pipe.
5. Consult air intake pipe manufacturer's instructions for proper method of sealing intake pipe sections
and ttings. Do not use other adhesives or sealants
except as expressly permitted by the intake pipe manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
Do not reduce size of air intake pipe.
Read, understand and follow combustion air instruction restrictions contained in the Pre­Installation instructions of this manual.
6. Air intake termination must be located at least twelve (12) inches above grade plus the expected snow accumulation.
7. Boiler may be installed with vertical venting and sidewall intake air or visa versa.
8. The horizontal air intake pipe must be adequately
supported with straps or supports no less than ve
(5) feet apart. The completed air intake pipe system must be rigid and able to withstand impacts without collapse.
CAUTION
Dirty, contaminated or dusty air used for combustion will decrease the useful life of
the boiler air lter. Use outside air if inside air quality is questionable. Use outside air if
the boiler is installed in manufacturing plants, laundries, dry cleaners or other locations with heavy particulates in the air.
WARNING
Do not locate air intake where petroleum distillates, CFCs, detergents, volatile vapors or any other chemicals are present. Severe boiler corrosion and failure will result. Thermal Solutions does not warrant failures caused by contaminated air.
Do not locate air intake termination where natural convection or wind conditions may cause the boiler exhaust gases to be drawn into the air intake.

C. WATER TREATMENT
The quality of water used in the heating system is essential for the successful operation and longevity of the system components. A successful water treatment plan will help to
maintain efciency, reduce the regularity of repair and/or
replacement, and extend the working life of the boiler and other system equipment. If left untreated, poor water quality could cause a number of problems including, but not limited to, oxidation, scaling, corrosion, and fouling. See Table 1 for examples of typical chemical agents found in untreated water along with their potential effects.

CAUTION
The water shall have a maximum water hardness of 8.5 grains or 150 ppm. The recommended pH range is 8.8 to 9.2. However, other aspects
of water quality can affect boiler operation and longevity. A qualied water treatment expert
should be consulted to develop a complete water treatment plan.
Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can lead to boiler failure. Thermal Solutions Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen contamination of boiler water.
Proper water treatment and boiler maintenance
is required to avoid scale build-up on the inside
of the boiler. Thermal Solutions Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by scale build-up.
When using Glycol products, all Glycol
manufacturers' requirements, including rust
inhibitors, must be adhered. Max 50% Glycol.
Since the condition of water varies from location to
location, it is impossible to prescribe a one-size-ts-all
treatment plan for the system water. In order to develop an effective water treatment plan, it will be necessary to gain knowledge of the impurities dissolved in the water.
Once all the impurities are identied, the proper treatment
plan can be established. Therefore, it will be essential to
obtain the expertise of a qualied industrial water treatment
professional for establishing a treatment plan.
In addition, a periodic testing/sampling plan should be developed. The intent of the plan should be to: (1) ensure the protection of the boiler and system equipment, (2) prevent an unforeseen system failure, (3) provide information for use in addressing the water quality, and (4)
to conrm the proper concentration of chemicals in use.
19
D. WATER PIPING AND TRIM
CAUTION
Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper operation and damage to boiler or structure.
All piping either new or existing must be cleaned with a tri sodium phosphate (TSP) solution to remove mill scale and oils from the system. Failure to do so could result in premature failure of the heat exchanger (not covered by Thermal Solutions Standard Warranty).
On an existing or retrot system, a lter or
strainer must be installed on the system return prior to the boilers.
Return water temperature below 120°F will cause
ue gas condensation inside the boiler. Flue gas
condensate can lead to boiler failure. Thermal Solutions Standard Warranty does not cover
problems caused by ue gas condensation.
Supply and return water temperature differences
greater than 40’F at high re can lead to boiler
failure. Thermal Solutions Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by temperature
differences greater than 40°F at high re.
1. Design and install boiler and system piping to prevent oxygen contamination of boiler water and frequent water additions.
a. There are many possible causes of oxygen
contamination such as:
i. Addition of excessive make-up water
as a result of system leaks.
ii. Absorption through open tanks and ttings.
iii. Oxygen permeable materials in the
distribution system.
b. In order to insure long product life, oxygen
sources must be eliminated. This can be accomplished by taking the following measures:
i. Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need
for addition of make-up water.
ii. Eliminating and/or repairing ttings which
allow oxygen absorption.
iii. Using of non-permeable materials in the
distribution system.
iv. Isolating the boiler from the system water by
installing a heat exchanger.
v. Using properly designed and operating air
elimination devices in water piping.
c. Maintain ½" minimum distance between water
piping and combustible material.
d. Consult Thermal Solutions for unusual system
requirements.
CAUTION
Support weight of system piping adequately.
e. Design and install system piping to prevent
return water temperatures below 120°F. Refer
to Table 2 for boiler ow and pressure drop
requirements.
3. Remove protective cap from boiler drain line located in the rear of the boiler .
4. Install drain valve in the boiler drain line at bottom rear of the boiler.
5. If this boiler is used in connection with refrigeration systems, the boiler must be installed so that the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the boiler using appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler. Also consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides. If this boiler is connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air,
the boiler piping must be equipped with ow control
valves to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water during operation of the cooling system.
6. Install optional low water cut-off in system piping above the boiler, if not shipped with boiler. On EVS-500 through -2000 boilers, a low water cut­off may be installed on the boiler at the factory as an option. A factory-mounted low water cut-off is standard on all EVS-2000S, 2500 & 3000 boilers.
7. Install an air eliminating device to remove air from the system.
2. Connect system supply and return piping to boiler.
a. Refer to Figure 8.
b. Consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.

WARNING
E. GAS PIPING
Failure to operate the unit with the proper water
ow rate can lead to appliance failure. Always verify proper water ow switch operation so that the unit stops operating if improper water ow is
present.
Safety relief valve discharge piping must be piped such that the potential of severe burns is eliminated. DO NOT pipe in any area where freezing could occur. DO NOT install any shut­off valves, plugs or caps. Consult Local Codes for proper discharge piping arrangement.
If a high head system pump is installed, ensure that the boiler relief valve and system piping are capable of operating properly at the combined
pressure of the system ll pressure plus the
pump static head pressure.
Do not install valves, plugs or caps in safety relief valve piping.
Safety relief valve piping must be terminated such that in the event the safety relief valve opens, the discharge will not cause personal injury or damage.
Do not operate the boiler with ow rates in excess of the maximum ow rates listed in Table
2. Tube erosion and pitting will occur. Thermal Solutions Standard Warranty does not cover
problems caused by excessive water ow rates.
.
8. There must be a minimum of ve pipe diameters of straight horizontal run downstream of the ow switch. Otherwise, premature failure of ow switch paddle may occur. See ow switch instruction
manual included with boiler.
9. If the boiler is installed in a closed water supply
system, such as one having a back ow preventer in
the cold water supply line, means shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how best to control this situation.
10. A pressure relief valve is supplied with each boiler. No valve is to be placed between the relief valve and appliance.
a. Pipe the safety relief discharge to a suitable place
for disposal when relief occurs. b. Do not install reducing couplings or other
restrictive devices in the safety relief discharge line.
c. The safety relief discharge line must allow for
complete drainage of both the valve and line.
11. If the relief valve discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. DO NOT PLUG THE RELIEF VALVE.
WARNING
Failure to properly pipe gas supply to boiler may result in improper operation and damage to the boiler or structure. Always assure gas piping is absolutely leak free and of the proper size and type for the connected load.
An Additional gas pressure regulator may be needed. Consult gas supplier.
1. Size gas piping. Design system to provide adequate gas supply to boiler. Consider these factors.
a. Allowable pressure drop from point of delivery
to boiler. Refer to Table 3 for minimum and maximum boiler gas train inlet pressure at steady state. If gas supply pressure is higher than
maximum as listed in Table 3, an additional eld
supplied pressure regulator will be required.
b. If a lower minimum gas pressure is needed,
the low gas pressure build can be used. The minimum gas pressure on all the low gas pressure builds is 4.0 in. w.c. Consult factory if this option is desired. This option is not available on the EVS-500, 2000S, 2500 or 3000.
c. Maximum gas demand. Table 7 lists boiler input
rate. Also consider existing and expected future gas utilization equipment (i.e., water heater, cooking equipment).
d. Length of piping and number of ttings. Refer
to Table 4 for maximum capacity of schedule 40 pipe. Table 6 lists equivalent pipe length for
standard ttings.
i. Specic gravity of gas correction factor,
to be applied to the value found in Table 4, can be found in Table 5.
ii. For gas piping material other than schedule
40 pipe, refer to the National fuel gas code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/GCA B149 Installation codes.
2. If step down regulator is required, it must be used in conjunction with the factory supplied regulator and be located as far away from the boiler as possible to prevent nuisance shutdowns. The minimum and maximum inlet gas pressure must not exceed the
value specied in Table 3.
3. Install eld supplied sediment trap, ground-joint
union and manual non-displacable shut-off valve upstream of factory supplied shut-off valve outside the boiler jacket. Use methods and materials in accordance with Local Codes and requirements of gas supplier. In absence of such requirements, follow National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes.
22
4. Use thread joint compound resistant to the action of
liqueed petroleum gas.
WARNING
Failure to use proper thread compounds on all
gas connectors may result in leaks of ammable
gas.
5. All above ground gas piping upstream from eld
supplied manual gas valve must be electrically continuous and bonded to a grounding electrode. Do not use gas piping as grounding electrode. Refer to National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and /or CSA C22.1 Electrical Codes.
WARNING
Gas supply to boiler and system must be absolutely shut off prior to installing or servicing boiler gas piping.
WARNING
boiler from gas supply piping by closing the boiler's individual manual shutoff valve.
b. Locate leaks using approved combustible
gas detector, soap and water, or similar
nonammable solution.
DANGER
Do not use matches, candles, open ames or
other ignition source to check for leaks.
Use an additional gas pressure regulator where the gas pressure is greater than 5 psig. Using one additional regulator for multiple boilers may result in unsafe boiler operation. The additional regulator must be able to properly
regulate gas pressure ow at the lowest input
of a single boiler. If the regulator cannot do this,
two or more additional regulators are required.
Consult regulator manufacturer's instructions for
minimum gas ow rate.
6. Pressure test. The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing boiler in operation.
a. Protect boiler gas control valve. For all testing
over ½ psig, boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from gas supply piping. For testing at ½ psig or less, isolate

F. ELECTRICAL
1. General. Install wiring and ground boiler in accordance with authority having jurisdiction or in absence of such requirements National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or CSA C22.1 Electrical Code.
CAUTION
Each boiler must be protected with a dedicated properly sized fused disconnect.
WARNING
WARNING
Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm. DO NOT ATTACH ADDITIONAL J-Box to back or top of boiler jacket.
DANGER
Positively assure all electrical connections are unpowered before attempting installation or service of electrical components or connections of the boiler or building. Lock out all electrical boxes with padlock once power is turned off.
2. A separate electrical circuit must be run from the main electrical service with an over-current device/disconnect in the circuit. A service switch is recommended and may be required by some local jurisdictions. Locate the service switch such that the appliance can be shut off without exposing personnel to danger in the event of an emergency.
3. Connect the main power supply and ground from fused disconnect to proper boiler electrical leads located in the junction box at the rear of the boiler. Refer to electrical consumption plate on boiler jacket.
Electrical power may be supplied from more than one service. Make sure all power is off before attempting any electrical work.
The wiring diagrams contained in this manual are for reference purposes only. Each boiler may be
wired differently according to the specications
given to Thermal Solutions at the time the boiler was purchased. Always use the wiring diagram provided with the boiler. If the wiring diagram provided with the boiler is unavailable, STOP all wiring work and contact Thermal Solutions for a replacement diagram.
Do not directly connect low voltage (24 volt, milliamp, etc.) controls to this boiler. If low voltage controls are desired, isolating relays must be used.
Never jump out or bypass any safety controls.
Never jump out or make inoperative any safety or operating controls. Each boiler must be protected with a properly sized over-circuit device.
5. The following pages have sample wiring diagrams. Contact Thermal Solutions Representative or visit website (www.thermalsolutions.com) for current wiring options.
4. Connect eld supplied safety limits or devices
using proper terminals provided in boiler electrical cabinet. Refer to wiring diagram supplied with boiler for wiring information. Refer to Figures 9a
- 9f for typical wiring diagrams. Refer to Figure 1 for electrical requirements for boiler.

Figure 10: Modular System: Conventional Venting (Negative Pressure)
G. MODULAR SYSTEMS
1. General Guidelines
a. Read and follow all venting, combustion
air, water piping, gas piping and electrical instructions contained in this manual unless otherwise instructed in this section.
b. Design and installation of modular systems
should only be undertaken by skilled and knowledgeable engineers and contractors.
c. Consult Local Building Codes, National Fuel
Gas Code, or NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 for restrictions and instructions for modular boilers.
d. Refer to the Pre-Installation section for further
warnings, cautions, notices and instructions.
2. Module Sizing
Consult factory for recommended number and size
of boilers for a given input.
3. Venting
This section outlines venting requirements for
multiple boiler installations and should be used in
addition to the “VENTING” section earlier in this
manual.
a. Positive Pressure (Sidewall and Vertical) Venting
i. Positive pressure vent systems cannot be
manifolded together.
ii. Positive pressure systems can be piped
individually through a common vertical or horizontal chase provided minimum clearances to combustible materials are maintained.
iii. Positive pressure systems can be piped
individually through a common vertical chase so that a single roof penetration can be made. Each vent termination must be one (1) foot from all other terminations.
WARNING
DO NOT manifold vent components of multiple boilers without converting to a negative pressure venting arrangement.
b. Negative Pressure (Conventional) Venting
i. Refer to Figure 10 for an example of a
typical conventional venting arrangement for modular boilers.
ii. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code to
determine required chimney diameter and common venting diameter. Note that combined input, lateral length and chimney height affect vent diameter.
iii. Install a double acting barometric damper
with integral ue spillage interlock (as
33
shown in Figure 10).
iv. Locate boiler(s) with lowest input closest to
chimney/vertical common vent.
v. Chimney lining must be acceptable for use
with condensing ue gases.
vi. Install a condensate drain to collect any
condensate that may form in the lined chimney or vertical common vent (refer to
gure 10).
CAUTION
Installing multiple vent terminations close together promotes frost build up on buildings. To minimize this possibility, extend the distance from the building to the end of the vent termination and increase the horizontal distance between vent terminations.
4. Air Intake Piping
a. Consult intake pipe manufacturer for common
air intake pipe sizing.
b. Refer to Figures 11 and 12 for common air intake
guidelines for modular boilers.
c. Individual air intake pipes may be used in lieu of
common air intake piping.
d. Common air intake straight lengths and ttings
should be assumed to have the equivalent length the same as an individual air intake pipe, used for a given boiler intake pipe diameter.
e. Position horizontal air intake termination center
line below horizontal vent termination's center line.
f. Vertical air intake pipe must terminate at least
two (2) feet above the closest portion of the roof.
6. Gas Piping
a. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, Local Codes
and Tables 2 through 7 for gas pipe sizing.
b. Refer to Gas Piping section for further warnings,
cautions, notices and instructions.
NOTICE
The pressure drop given in Table 1 is for the boiler only. The pressure drop of each system
tting and component must be added to the
boiler pressure drop to determine the system
pressure head requirement. See Table 6 for tting and component equivalent lengths.
g. Refer to the Combustion Air section for further
warnings, cautions, notices and instructions.
5. Water Piping
a. Refer to Figures 13 thru 18 for typical water
piping for modular boilers.
b. Installing a low water cut-off in the system
piping is highly recommended and may be required by Code, if not factory mounted on boiler.
c. Refer to Table 1 for pressure drop and ow
requirements for each boiler.
d. Consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guide.
e. Maintain ½" minimum distance between water
piping and combustible material.
f. Refer to Water Piping and Trim section
for further warnings, cautions, notices and instructions.

7. Electrical
a. Each boiler must be provided with a dedicated
fused disconnect.
b. Install wiring and ground boiler in accordance
with requirements of authority having jurisdiction. In absence of such requirements, reference the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70 and/or CSA C22.1 Electrical Code.
c. Refer to Figure 1 for electrical data for each size
boiler.
d. Refer to the Electrical section for further
warnings, cautions, notices and instructions.
NOTICE
CAUTION
Failure to properly pipe condensate system will greatly reduce boiler life. Do not install plugs, caps or valves on condensate piping.
Do not manifold boiler condensate drains or vent drains together.
Do not crimp condensate lines or reduce drain line inner diameter size.
Each condensate drain must contain a siphon/
pigtail or trap to prevent ue gas ow through the
condensate piping. The height of the top of the syphon/pigtail loop or trap shall not exceed the height of the condensate drain outlet.
Do not install boiler and circulator pump on the same fused disconnect.
8. Condensate Piping
a. Each boiler requires separate condensate drains.
In addition, most venting congurations require
separate condensate drains in the vent system.
b. Refer to Section H for condensate removal
system.
H. CONDENSATE DRAINS
1. Each boiler contains a condensate drain. In
addition, most vent congurations require a drain
tee located in the vent piping. Pipe each condensate
drain separately to a oor drain or condensate pump/
sump.
2. Use continuous Teon, high temperature resistant
silicone tubing, or other tubing material compatible
with ue gas condensate, for condensate piping. Do
not install valves on condensate drain lines.
3. A common condensate pump/sump may be used. Run separate piping from each condensate drain to the sump. A common drain may be used to discharge condensate from the sump. Consult pump/sump manufacturer for compatibility of pump/sump materials of construction. If a common sump is used, individual drain lines should be connected such that one drain cannot back feed into another drain.
4. Consult local authorities regarding disposal of ue
gas condensate into public waste water system. Some jurisdictions require that the condensate be buffered before discharge. This buffering is commonly achieved by draining the condensate through a limestone (calcium carbonate) bed. The condensate will be slightly acidic and range between 3-5 on the pH scale. Consult Thermal Solutions or a chemical treatment company for buffering systems.
CAUTION
Do not use material that is not approved for use
with ue gas condensate for condensate piping.
43
IV. System Start-up
CAUTION
Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper operation and damage to boiler or structure.
Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can lead to boiler failure. Thermal Solutions Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen contamination of boiler water.
Proper water treatment is required to avoid scale
build-up on the inside of the boiler. Thermal Solutions standard warranty does not cover problems caused by scale build-up.
All piping either new or existing must be cleaned with a tri sodium phosphate (TSP) solution to remove mill scale and oils from the system. Failure to do so could result in premature failure of the heat exchanger (not covered by Thermal Solutions warranty).
On an existing or retrot system, a lter or
strainer must be installed on the system return prior to the boilers.
When using Glycol products, all Glycol manu-
factures' requirements, including rust inhibitors,
must be adhered. Max 50% Glycol.

DANGER
I. Begin Commissioning the boiler - With main ame
on, at high re, measure gas pressure upstream and
downstream of the main gas valves
1. Adjust the manifold pressure to match the pressure
indicated on the factory retest label.
2. Reassure that the inlet gas pressure is within the acceptable range found in Table 2. Adjust if necessary.
WARNING
Failure to properly adjust gas input rate will
result in over ring or under ring of the
appliance. Improper and unsafe boiler operation may result.
3. Conrm that high and low gas pressure switches are functioning and are adjusted to prevent over ring or under ring of the boiler.
4. Adjust setting of air lter ow switch by rotating knob on switch counter clockwise until change
lter light switch is illuminated. Turn switch knob
clockwise ¼ turn past the point where the change
lter light goes out. Replace upper front jacket
panel.
5. With boiler running and all panels attached, measure oxygen (O2) and carbon monoxide
(CO) concentrations in the ue gas and ue gas
temperature. Compare results with values given on
factory retest report supplied with the boiler.
Failure to properly adjust excess air will result in unsafe levels of carbon monoxide. Variations in venting or combustion air pressure and temperature will change excess air. Adjust excess air levels so that variation in venting or combustion air pressures and temperatures caused by change of seasons, wind conditions, opening or closing of boiler room doors or windows do not cause the boiler to operate with carbon monoxide concentrations above 400 parts per million.
6. Verify that all safety and operating limits and ame
controls are operating properly. These controls and limits include combustion air switch, water temperature operating control, manual reset water temperature safety limit, vestibule fuseable link, mixer fuseable link, high and low gas pressure switches. Refer to manuals for these components for proper start-up and operating instructions. Follow all instructions contained in these manuals. This manual was provided with the boiler.
J. Finish Commissioning at the Boiler - Reconnect any
wires from the external control system, if applicable.
1. Test function of external control system.
2. Place system control back in normal operation, if
necessary.
K. Water Treatment - Contact reputable chemical
treatment company for recommendations on proper water treatment for the installation. Each installation is different and must be analyzed based on local water conditions and boiler operating schedule.
A proper water treatment and a monitoring program will extend the life of the boiler. The water shall have a maximum water hardness of 8.5 grains or 150 ppm. The recommended pH range is 8.8 to 9.2. However,
other aspects of water quality can affect boiler operation and longevity. A qualied water treatment expert
should be consulted to develop a complete water treatment plan.
Chemicals used in treating boiler water are toxic and/or harmful. Always use protective clothing and
equipment when working with/near chemicals. Contact local authorities to determine if treated boiler water
can be discharged into local waste water system.
The treatment chemicals must be compatible with
copper, bronze, steel and cast iron materials of construction.

Description
Once a Call For Heat is initiated and Boiler Pump Purge is selected, the pump output is energized until the Pump Prepurge Time is complete. If the Call For Heat condition still exists at the end of the Prepurge Time (the temperature of the water at the sensor may rise with boiler water flowing passed it) the pump will continue to operate and the Call For Heat Relay is energized. Power is applied to the safety limit string. If any limits does not pass power (is not energized), the alarm LED and LCD display shows the reason the start sequence is on Hold. Refer to Trouble shooting section for explanation of individual lockout and alarm messages. After the limit string passes power, the fan is started, the modulation output is set to Purge Rate. When the purge period is complete, the flame safeguard sequences on the ignition transformer and pilot. When the Spare Input Low Fire is selected, modulation output is set to the Low Fire Speed when the Spare Input is energized. The main gas valve input is energized and the modulation output is held constant for an ignition stabilization period.
When this Low Fire Hold time is complete, the modulation output is released to modulate. When water temperature is above setpoint, there is a Flame Safeguard or Limit fault, the Call For Heat is ended and the modulating output is set to Purge Rate for the Post Purge Time. When Boiler Pump Purge is selected, the boiler pump remains “on” until the boiler outlet temperature is less than the Post Purge Delta (default is 5 F) above the Boiler Inlet Temperature.

If the power draw of the control circuit exceeds approximately 5 amps, the circuit board fuse trips and prevents the boiler from operating until the fuse is replaced.
If this switch is in the off position, power is interrupted to the control circuit of the boiler, which prevents the boiler from operating. If the switch is in the on position, power is supplied to the control circuit.
If the boiler water temperature exceeds the adjustable set point, power is interrupted to the control circuit of the boiler, which prevents the boiler from operating. When the boiler water temperature drops below the set point minus the adjustable differential setting, power is again supplied to the control circuit.
If the boiler water temperature exceeds the adjustable set point, power is interrupted to the control circuit of the boiler, which prevents the boiler from operating. Power is interrupted until the control is manually reset by pressing the control’s reset button. When the button is depressed, power will again be supplied to the control circuit.
If the water ow through the boiler drops below the xed ow rate required to move the
control’s paddle enough to close the controls contacts, power is interrupted to the control
circuit, which prevents the boiler from operating. When the water ow rate is increased,
the paddle closes the control’s contacts and power is supplied to the control circuit.
If the pressure inside the appliance exceeds the xed set point, the valve opens
mechanically and discharges water. The valve remains open until the pressure inside the appliance drops below the set point.
If the temperature in the interior of the burner exceeds the xed set point. The contacts of
the switch open and power is interrupted to the control circuit, which prevents the boiler from operating. Power is interrupted until the switch is replaced.

If the gas pressure reaches a point below the adjustable set point, or above the adjustable set point, the contacts of the switch open and power is interrupted to the control circuit, which prevents the boiler from operating. Power is interrupted until gas pressure is between the high and low set points and the control is manually reset by moving the switch to the reset position. The switches will not reset until the gas pressure is within the set point parameters.
If the differential air pressure drops below the xed set point, the contacts of the switch
open and power is interrupted to the control circuit, which prevents the boiler from
operating. Power is interrupted until air ow increases so that the contacts close.
Refer to the manual supplied with the boiler.
The variable frequency drive’s primary function is to vary the rotational speed of the blower fan based on the air requirements of the boiler combustion process. The VFD responds to a 0-10 VDC signal from the TSBC.

When a Peer-To-Peer network has failed the boilers begin operation as stand alone boilers using the selected parameters.
After a Peer-To-Peer communication failure the ‘Comm Failure’ alarm is not cleared until communication is restored and the boiler rejoins a network with at least one other boiler, power is cycled or the protocol parameter is changed to Modbus and then back to Peer-To-Peer.
Low Boiler Inlet Temperature If the boiler inlet temperature is below the low boiler inlet temperature setpoint, the “Low Inlet Temp” Message is displayed and the boiler inlet temperature history is stored.
Memory Failure
New software has been installed in the Thermal Solutions Boiler Control (TSBC) or a power interruption has caused a memory failure. The Call For Heat will be prevented until the condition is cleared.

IX. Thermal Solutions Boiler Control™ (TSBC™)
A. INTRODUCTION - The intent of this section is to briey summarize the controllers capabilities, familiarize the user with
its basic features and to list the factory supplied default settings. Read the additionally supplied Factory Instruction Manual for the TSBC to learn more about the controllers features and capabilities.
1. Thermal Solutions Boiler Control™ Overview
The Thermal Solutions Boiler Control (TSBC) is a complete boiler monitoring and automation system. The
TSBC provides advanced boiler modulation, operating control, diagnostics, multiple boiler lead-lag and auxiliary device control. The TSBC™ provides advanced control features in an easy to use package.
2. Flexible, Field Selectable Control Control modes, water system, boiler auxiliary
and modulating lead/lag control features are menu selectable without the need for external programmers, lap tops or down loads. Every boiler is shipped with factory defaults that make
eld menu selections unnecessary unless you are
applying additional control features.
3. Boiler Monitoring and Diagnostic Displays The TSBC™'s two line by sixteen character LCD
display may be used for monitoring boiler inlet and outlet, remote system and outside air temperatures, modulation rate setpoint and modulating percent and mixing valve demand percent. Additionally, the display automatically presents boiler sequence messages, alarms, hold and lockout messages. A diagnostic menu is included that provides the last 10 alarm messages and boiler inlet temperature alarm history. Boiler inlet temperature alarm history includes time and date, the lowest inlet temperature reached and the amount of time the water temperature dropped below the alarm setpoint.
4. Modulation Rate and On/Off Modes The TSBC™ may simply control boiler modulation
and on/off output based on the boiler water outlet temperature and an operator adjusted setpoint. However, using parameter selections, the TSBC™ allows the boiler modulation and on/off output to respond to remote system water and outside air temperatures, Domestic Hot Water Priority (DHWP) input or Energy Domestic Hot Water Priority (EMS) modulation rate demand, remote setpoint or remote start/stop commands. Parameter selections of remote system water temperature and remote mode determine the choice of one of six different control modes.
5. Advanced Availability The above control modes are menu selectable
options. However, if a selected sensor fails, the TSBC automatically changes to a control mode that will allow continued automatic operation of the boiler. For example, in the event of a remote system temperature sensor failure, the TSBC will automatically switch to boiler outlet temperature sensor based control.
6. Outdoor Air Reset When selected the modulation rate setpoint
is automatically adjusted based on outside air temperature. Outdoor air "reset" setpoint saves fuel by adjusting the water temperature of a heating boiler lower as the outside air temperature increases.
7. Warm Weather Shutdown (WWSD) Some boilers are used primarily for heating
buildings, and the boilers can be automatically shutdown when the outdoor air temperature is warm. When outside air temperature is above the WWSD setpoint, this function will prevent the boiler, boiler pump and/or the system pump from starting.
8. Domestic Hot Water Priority (DHWP) Some boilers are used primarily for building space
heating, but also provide heat for the domestic hot water users. When the outdoor temperature is warm, the outdoor reset setpoint may drop lower than a desirable domestic hot water temperature. When enabled and a DHWP contact input is detected, the hot water setpoint is adjusted to be
greater than a eld adjustable DHWP Setpoint.
9. Water Side Control Outputs In order to maximize the life and availability of a
hot water systems it may be desirable to automate mixing valves, boiler pumps, system pumps, and standby system pumps. The TSBC makes this type of automation totally integrated and cost
effective. The control of these devices is eld
selectable through simple yes/no menu selections.
10. Combustion Air Side Control Outputs Boiler room Combustion air dampers (fresh air
dampers) and Vent Inducer control outputs are eld
selectable options.
11. Peer-To-Peer Network The TSBC™ includes state-of-the-art modulating
lead-lag sequencer for up to eight (8) boilers capable of auto rotation, outdoor reset and peer-to-peer communication. The peer-to-peer network is truly "plug and play". Communication is activated by simply connecting a RJ11 telephone line between boilers. The TSBC™ provides precise boiler coordination by sequencing boilers based on both
76
modulation rate. For example, the lead boiler can be
congured to start a lag boiler after operating above
90% modulation rate for longer than an adjustable time. The boilers are modulated in "unison" (parallel) modulation rate to ensure even heat distribution.

12. Modbus Communication Interface
A factory congured RS485 Modbus interface is
available for Energy Management System (EMS) or SCADA system monitoring and control.
B. Thermal Solutions Boiler ControlTM (TSBCTM) Wiring
When wiring to the Thermal Solutions Boiler Control (TSBC) terminals, see the terminal layout drawing on the following
page or the terminal jacket label, located on the inside surface of the boiler jacket upper front panel. The TSBC terminals
are removable for easier eld wiring connection.
