DESCRIPTION

The SS2 is a mechanical vent system designed and listed for use with natural draft oil or gas heating equipment. It is factory assembled and wired. The SS2 automatically vents the flue gases from heating equipment to the outdoors. By recirculating indoor air with a cooling fan, surrounding combustible materials remain at safe temperatures. After each burner cycle the SS2 will continue to operate in post-purge mode to purge the heater and vent of residual flue gases. A factory post-purge time is set at 2 minutes and is adjustable up 16 minutes, see “Pre / Post-purge Settings” on page 5. The SS2 features a safety system consisting of the integral UC1 Universal Control, a Fan Proving Switch and a High Limit temperature control. These devices monitor the SS2’s performance and will interrupt the main burner if a venting malfunction is detected.

APPLICATION TABLE

Verify that the total BTU/hr. input of the heating appliance(s) fall within the inputs listed below. The BTU/hr. capacity range is based on a maximum of 50 equivalent feet (15 meters). To determine equivalent feet, add the total length of straight vent pipe plus 10 feet (3 meters) for each 90 degree elbow and 5 feet (1.5 meters) for each 45 degree elbow. Vent runs of over 15 linear feet (4.5 meters) require the use of an approved, insulated vent connector to prevent problems related to condensation.

The SS2 Vent System may only be used on Flame Retention Head Oil Burners for oil installations.

AND

B) After 15 minutes of operation, measure flue gas temperature to verify it is not more than 650oF (343oC) at SS2 inlet.

6. Vent runs of over 15 linear feet (4.5 meters) require the use of an approved, insulated vent connector to prevent problems related to condensation.

Improper installation, adjustment, alterations, service or maintenance can cause injury, property damage or death. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency or the equipment supplier.

Do not exceed the recommended input range of the SS2. Under no circumstances shall the minimum draft adjustment be used for the larger input range of this product. Improper adjustment may result in the dispersion of flue products (carbon monoxide) into the building interior causing carbon monoxide poisoning or death.

If oil nozzle is changed or other equipment is added perform “Draft Adjustment Procedure” on pages 15, 16 again.

CAUTIONS

The SS2 must be installed by a qualified installer (an individual properly licensed and/or trained) in accordance with all local codes or, in their absence, in accordance with the appropriate National Fire Protection Association #31, #54, #211 and the National Electrical Code. In the absence of local codes in Canada, installations must comply with CSA Std 139 (The National Building Code of Canada) and CSA Std 22.1 (The Canadian Electrical Code).

Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the SS2 in accordance with manufacturer's instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and property damage.

1. The installer must verify that the BTU/hr. input of the appliance does not exceed the recommended input of the SS2. See “Application Table” on page 1 of these instructions for maximum input capacities.

2. Disconnect power supply from the SS2 and heating equipment when making wiring connections and servicing the SS2. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. LED #5 (RED) should be off with power removed.

3. Plan the vent layout so that the code required clearances are maintained from plumbing, wiring and combustible materials.

4. Flue gas temperatures must not exceed 650oF (343oC) at SS2 inlet. Ambient temperature must not exceed 104oF (40oC).

5. Oil fuel flue gas temperature at vent system inlet must be at least 250oF (121oC) during appliance steady state.

6. Make certain power source is adequate for the SS2 requirements. Do not add the SS2 to a circuit when the total electrical load is unknown.

7. "Safety Inspection of a Previously Used Appliance", below must be completed when replacing a conventional chimney venting system or when SS2 is installed on used heating equipment.

SAFETY INSPECTION OF A PREVIOUSLY USED APPLIANCE

(Perform prior to SS2 installation)

The following procedure is intended as a guide to aid in determining that an appliance is properly installed and is in safe condition for continuing use. This procedure is based on central furnace and boiler installations and it should be recognized that generalized procedures cannot anticipate all situations. Accordingly, in some cases deviation from this procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment.

a. This procedure should be performed prior to any attempt at modifications of the appliance or installation of the SS2. b. If it is determined there is a condition which could result in an unsafe operation, the appliance should be shut off and the owner

advised of the unsafe condition.

The following steps should be followed in making the safety inspection:

1. Visually inspect the venting system and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

2a. Oil Installations: Inspect burner and primary control for proper operation. 2b. Gas Installations: Conduct a gas leakage test of the appliance piping and control system downstream of the shutoff valve

3. Applicable only to furnaces: Inspect heat exchanger for cracks, openings or excessive corrosion. Check both the limit control and fan control for proper operation.

4. Applicable only to boilers: Inspect for evidence of water or combustion product leaks. Determine that the water pumps are in operating condition. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed controls, pressure and temperature limit controls and relief valves in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations to determine that they are in operating order.

Excerpts from the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA #54), Appendix H.

LED STATUS & FAULT INDICATORS

LED INDICATOR LIGHTS

LED #1 (Amber) Appliance call for heat. LED #2 (Green) Safety circuit through P1 & P2 (SS2 Limit & Fan Prover) is verified “Open” upon start-up. Indicates Venter

prover is closed during run cycle. Burner circuit is energized with contact closure from terminal 3 to 4. LED #3 (Green) Power switched to SS2 motor & Cooling Fan from L to MTR & M. LED #4 (Red) Status / Fault indicator. LED #5 (Red) 115 VAC power supplied to board. Also used as a status indicator.

LED STATUS INDICATORS

LED #4 & #5 (Red) Flashing Alternately = Venter in Pre-purge. (Pre-Purge options 0, 5, 20, 35 seconds) LED #4 & #5 (Red) Flashing in Unison = Venter in Post-Purge. (Post-Purge options 0, 30 seconds or 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 minutes) LED #4 Flashing Continuously* = Fan Prover opened for more than 10 seconds during burner cycle.

(Venter will run for 10 minutes, attempting to make Fan Prover)

LED FAULT INDICATORS

Fault conditions are indicated by counting the number of times LED #4 (Red) flashes.

LED #4 Flashes 2 Times

Fan Prover was in electrically closed position prior to venter operation.

LED #4 Flashes 3 Times* Fan Prover does not close within 60 seconds after call for heat. LED #4 Flashes 4 Times* Fan Prover did not re-close after 10 minutes of Venter operation. LED #4 Flashes 5 Times* Fan Prover opened for more than 10 seconds during burner cycle but closed within 10 minutes.

* Investigate causes of Fan Prover not making, i.e; Firing burner at capacities or temperatures exceeding Venter limits, excessive vent pipe runs, high

winds, plugged / kinked Fan Prover sensing tube or a faulty Fan Prover. Reset SS2 High Limit. If Limit was tripped and SS2 fires, investigate cause of high heat.

IMPORTANT: Fault codes will automatically be displayed after a fault condition occurs. If the call for heat interlock signal or 115 VAC power is removed, the UC1 board will reset and the fault will be stored in memory instead of displayed. Any new fault will replace any previous fault.

tripped and SS2 fires, investigate cause of high heat.

CHECKING MEMORY FOR LAST FAULT CODE IMPORTANT: Prior to accessing the fault code memory, note the settings of the dip switches so that they can be returned to their original Pre / Post-

Purge positions. When power is supplied to the UC1 use caution when moving dip switches. The last fault code can be retrieved at any time by setting all dip switches 1-8 to the up, or “on” position. The last fault code, or lack there of, will be indi-

cated by counting the number of times LED #4 flashes. By moving any of the dip switches back to their original position, the fault code will be cleared. NOTE: The UC1 board must have its 115 VAC power supply present when any of the (1-8) dip switches are moved back to their original position for the fault code to clear.

PRE / POST PURGE AND PROVER STATUS CHECK DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

Remove power to SS2 and heating equipment when installing, servicing or changing dip switch settings. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. LED #5 (RED) should not be on if 115 VAC supply power is removed from the control.

Pre-purge

Used for longer vent runs to get draft fully established throughout the vent system prior to burner ignition. Also beneficial for negative pressure prone environments. IMPORTANT: Nuisance equipment lockouts may occur if our pre-purge is running in conjunction with and is longer than any equipment timing circuit. Pre-purge settings must be shorter than burner control lockout time unless wired prior to burner control timing circuit (i.e. aquastat / thermostat).

Post-purge

A Venter post-purge has been factory set at 2 minutes. Confirm that dip switch #5 is in the up or "on" position. Oil fired equipment requires that the post-purge be long enough to eliminate post cycle nozzle drip odor. A longer post-purge may be necessary for longer vent runs or high heat retention, refractory lined combustion chambers. A shorter post-purge may be desired for gas installations.

SS2 VENT SYSTEM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLES & OBSTRUCTIONS

With an inlet flue gas temperature of 650oF (343oC) or below, the SS2 has been Listed for Zero Clearance from combustibles.

NOTE: You must allow a minimum 2 foot distance of unobstructed clearance behind the SS2 Vent System for doing

maintenance. Allow 6” minimum clearance from bottom of vent cabinet to any obstruction for air flow.

INSTALLING SS2 VENT CABINET

1. a) Fold SS2 Vent Cabinet template (Inserted) along dashed line and attach between the

floor joists ensuring that it is snug against the sill plate and centered between the

floor joists. Follow same procedure if floor trusses are used, (See Diagram B).

b) If the SS2 is not being installed between floor joists, attach the template to the wall it will be

exiting ensuring it is level.

2. Verify that wall penetration will not come in contact with concealed wiring or plumbing.

Using 1/2” bit, drill pilot holes noted on each side of the template from inside through rim-joist, wall board, siding, etc., keeping drill bit perpendicular to the wall. 1/2" bit must penetrate through exterior.

3. Remove template from rim-joist and attach to building exterior, aligning pilot hole

markings on template with holes previously created in Step #2.

4. Drill remaining (4) corner holes noted on the template through the building exterior.

Remove the template and mark lines from the outside edge of the holes drilled, forming a rectangle.

5. Using reciprocating saw and appropriate blade, cut a rectangular opening through the

rim joist, wall board, siding, etc., on the lines marked in step 4. The rectangular opening should be no larger than 10-1/2" in width by 8-1/2" in height, (See Diagram C).

6. Knock out block material exposing rectangular opening through the wall.

OFVENT PIPE

NOTE: For easy one person installations, remove (3) screws from rear and bottom of vent

cabinet. Slide venter assembly out of SS2 cabinet and set aside being careful not to damage housing. After SS2 cabinet is secured to the outside wall, and the vibration isolation mount is installed to the inside wall, replace venter assembly and all (9) screws, (See Diagram D).

7. Apply two beads of exterior rated caulk approximately 3/8" in width at the seam of the

outside casing of the SS2 Vent Cabinet and on the inner flange of the Vent Hood Termination, (See Diagram E).

INSTALLATION OF WALL SUPPORT BRACKET

1. To prevent damage to the SS2, temporarily support the bottom of the SS2 cabinet (prop on ladder top) while assembling the wall support bracket. Assemble the wall support bracket as shown, (See Diagram H).

2. Connect mounting bracket to SS2 using (4) #8 x 3/8” sheet metal screws. Line up holes on bottom of SS2 with mounting bracket to ensure proper placement, (See Diagram H).

3. Adjust the wall support bracket so that a slight pitch is maintained for moisture drainage and vibration isolation. Use the prepunched holes on the wall bracket as a template to mark holes to be drilled into the side wall for mounting screws, (See Diagram H).

4. a) If installing the bracket into a wood wall, drill 2 pilot holes at each point established in step 3 with a 1/8" drill bit approximately 1" deep and

install the screws provided to secure the bracket to the wall.

b) If installing the bracket into a masonry wall, drill 2 holes at each point established in step 3 with a 1/4" masonry drill bit. Tap the masonry

anchors into the 2 holes drilled and screw the wall bracket onto the wall.

DIAGRAM H

IMPORTANT:

Adjust SS2 mounting bracket for a slight downward pitch towards exit terminal.

INLET PIPE INSTALLATION

1. Remove 4” round inlet pipe from box.

2. Align the 4 slots of the inlet pipe to the 3 pins and proving switch sensing tube, push pipe up until it bottoms out in the SS2 inlet.

DIAGRAM I

INSTALLATION OF VENT PIPE

When installing the SS2 Vent System on an oil appliance, a full size barometric draft control must be used. Install the barometric draft control as shown, (See Diagram J). The SS2 may only be installed on gas appliances equipped with a draft hood, draft diverter or barometric draft control. The SS2 inlet pipe is designed to accept 4" vent pipe. Choose type of vent pipe based upon fuel and heater manufacturer’s recommendations. The vent pipe used must be in compliance with local codes and the listing of the vent pipe manufacturer. When necessary, install tapered reducers and increasers as shown below.

Determine vent pipe layout which will allow for the least amount of elbows to the appliance. Calculate the equivalent vent pipe length from the appliance to the SS2 Vent System by adding the straight vent pipe length and the equivalent elbow lengths together. Each 90 degree elbow is equal to 10 feet (3 meters) of straight vent pipe, each 45 degree elbow is equal to 5 feet (1.5 meters) of straight pipe. The equivalent vent pipe length must not exceed 50 feet (15 meters) from the appliance to the SS2 Vent System. Vent runs of over 15 linear feet (4.5 meters) require the use of an approved, insulated vent connector to prevent problems related to condensation. It is not necessary to maintain a 1/4" rise per foot of horizontal when Side Wall Venting.

NOTE: Installing a vent pipe “jog” on vertical vent pipe layouts allows for easier dismantling if servicing is necessary, (See Diagram J).

3. Turn the inlet collar clockwise to lock in place, (See Diagram I). IMPORTANT: After vent pipe is installed verify inlet pipe is locked tightly in place.

DIAGRAM J

Typical short vent pipe installation.

Any vent pipe run that exceeds 15 linear feet

NOTE “A”

(4.5 meters) in length must use an approved, insulated vent pipe. DO NOT EXCEED 50 EQUIVALENT FEET (15 METERS).

IMPORTANT: Oil installations must have a barometric draft control. Gas installations must have a draft hood, diverter or barometric draft control installed. Always use a vent pipe / connector of the same diameter as the appliance flue outlet. Use a tapered reducer near the SS2 inlet pipe if the appliance flue outlet is larger than 4”.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

All wiring from the SS2 to the appliance must be appropriate Class 1 wiring as follows: installed in rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, rigid non-metallic conduit, electrical metallic tubing, Type MI Cable, Type MC Cable, or be otherwise suitably protected from physical damage.

IMPORTANT: MORE THAN ONE INTERLOCK METHOD MAY BE APPLICABLE

In many cases it is easier to interlock with the thermostat/aquastat portion of the heater control circuit vs. the primary control portion of the heater control circuit. Review all of the wiring diagram options prior to choosing the best method.

Control signal from thermostat, aquastat or primary control is intercepted and routed to terminal “1” on UC1 terminal strip. When terminal “1” is energized with either 24 VAC or 115 VAC, the Venter motor is energized. After draft is established, the Fan Proving Switch closes within 5 to 10 seconds energizing terminal “4”, which completes the circuit allowing burner to fire. NOTE: If a Venter pre-purge is selected, the burner will not fire until the prepurge time is finished. The Venter will continue to run after the burner has finished firing for the set post-purge time cycle. The UC1 is set for a 2 minute post-purge time period from the factory. See “Pre / Post-Purge Settings” on page 5 for details.

The "1" input terminal on the SideShot can accept either a 24 VAC or 115 VAC control signal. IMPORTANT: The RED voltage jumper must be positioned based on appliance interlock voltage 24V or 115V. If using the “DRY” contact activation method, use terminals A & B on UC1 control and position the RED voltage jumper tab in the “DRY” position. IMPORTANT: Only one interlock method (i.e. 24V, 115V or “Dry”) can be used with the UC1. Multiple appliance interlocks require the use of our MAC-Series multiple appliance controls.

The steps listed under each diagram are intended as a supplement to the diagram. Wiring colors or designations may vary by manufacturer. If you are unable to wire the SS2 as outlined in these instructions, call Tjernlund’s Customer Service Department toll free at 1-800-255-4208 for assistance.

IMPORTANT: If the call for heat interlock signal or 115 VAC power is removed, the UC1 board will reset and any fault, if present, will be stored in memory instead of displayed. See page 5, “Checking Memory for Last Fault Code”.

DRAFT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE FOR OIL EQUIPMENT

The SS2 Vent system will properly vent a wide range of BTU/hr. input capacities. To compensate for different burner capacities, vent connector lengths, types and sizes, it features a draft adjustment located on the back of the venter assembly. Turning this draft adjustment knob clockwise will increase draft and raise the BTU capacity. Turning the knob counter-clockwise will decrease draft and lower the BTU capacity. The SS2 is factory set for the highest draft (BTU capacity).

IMPORTANT:

Before proceeding, close all windows, doors and fireplace dampers. Turn on all appliances in the structure that exhaust indoor air such as clothes dryer, exhaust fans, range hoods, bathroom and whole house exhaust fans. Failure to perform the draft adjustment procedure may cause a poor vent system installation possibly resulting in fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, explosion, personal injury or property damage.

1. Insert a stack thermometer into the vent pipe as close as possible to the SS2 inlet. NOTE: plug hole when finished with installation.

2. Adjust barometric draft control to the minimum or least draft setting.

3. Place the heating system into operation. NOTE: There will be a slight pause between the venter operation and the burner operation. A Venter pre-purge of up to 35 seconds may also be selected. See “Pre / Post-Purge Settings” on page 5.

4. Continuously monitor the over fire draft and adjust the SS2 draft adjustment knob to maintain a reading of

-.02 to -.03” W.C.. When the flue gas temperature at the venter inlet has stabilized make any final draft adjustment necessary to maintain a reading of -.02 to -.03” W.C.. IMPORTANT: If a minimum of -.02” W.C. cannot be obtained with the SS2 draft adjustment knob turned fully clockwise and adjust barometric damper closed “more draft” until a reading of -.02” W.C. is obtained.

5. Perform a smoke test and make any adjustments to the burner air shutter and venter draft adjustment to arrive at a trace of smoke (between 0 and 1) at a minimum over fire draft of -.02” W.C..

6. Perform a CO2 test at the same location as the smoke test. Reduce the CO2 1% to 2% by opening the burner air shutter. Recheck over fire draft and increase venter draft or adjust barometric damper closed “more draft” if necessary to maintain a minimum of -.02” W.C..

DIAGRAM K

DRAFT ADJUSTMENT LOCKING KEPS NUT

DRAFT ADJUSTMENT KNOB

TIGHTEN KEPS NUT AGAINST BRACKET ONCE

Do not allow heating system to run at less than a -.02” W.C. over fire draft or at a CO2 level that is less than a 1% reduction from the value measured at a trace of smoke and a -.02” W.C. over fire draft. If these parameters are unobtainable, contact Tjernlund at 1-800-255-4208 for Technical Assistance.

7. Remove the call for heat from the heating system. NOTE: The SS2 will run in post-purge mode which is factory set at 2 minutes and adjustable up to 16 minutes. Allow the system to cool down to ambient room temperature.

8. Restart the heating system.

9. At 5 minutes into the restart, read and record the inlet temperature ________F, ________C. If this temperature is above 250

F (121

C)., continue

to step 10. If this temperature is below 2500F (1210C), insulate the pipe with an approved pipe insulation. Verify that the over fire draft and CO2 have not changed, If they have, redo the adjustment steps. With the pipe insulated, redo the 5 minute temperature test and record the new value here ________F, ________C. If insulating the pipe did not increase the inlet temperature above 2500F. (1210C) within 5 minutes of the heating system call for heat, call 800-255-4208 for technical support.

10. Lock down the burner primary air adjustment, the barometric adjustment knob and the SS2 draft adjustment with the lock nut that is behind the knob bracket, (See Diagram K). Verify the over fire draft and CO2 readings have not changed from the earlier values.

DRAFT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE FOR GAS APPLIANCES

IMPORTANT:

1. Place the heating system into operation. NOTE: there will be a slight pause between venter operation and burner operation. A Venter pre-purge of up

to 35 seconds may also be selected. See “Pre / Post-Purge Settings” on page 5. If installation uses a barometric draft control adjust it to the minimum or least draft setting. Allow heater to operate for 5 minutes.

2. PREFERRED METHOD: MUST HAVE DRAFT GAUGE AVAILABLE

Sample draft one foot after draft hood, diverter or barometric draft control using a draft gauge. If the draft reading is in excess of -0.05” W.C. turn the draft adjustment knob on the SS2G counterclockwise so that a draft reading of -0.02” to -0.05” W.C. is obtained. Never adjust draft to a setting of less than -0.02” W.C. If the vent system is terminated on a wall subject to prevailing winds a -0.05” W.C. draft setting is recommended.

3. If a draft gauge is not available test for spillage at the draft hood, diverter or barometric draft control using the

DIAGRAM K

flame from a match, lighter or candle and determine the following: A. The flame or smoke is being drawn into the draft hood, diverter or barometric draft control. B. The main burner is burning properly, i.e. no floating, lifting or flash back. C. If the heater has a two stage or modulating gas valve verify that burner operates properly at both low and high fire.

DRAFT ADJUSTMENT LOCKING KEPS NUT

DRAFT ADJUSTMENT KNOB

If the draft appears excessive turn the draft adjustment knob counterclockwise and repeat steps A through C.

4. Lock the draft adjustment knob in place by tightening the locking nut behind the bracket, (See Diagram K).

5. Turn off appliances and exhaust fans activated for draft adjustment procedure.

TIGHTEN KEPS NUT AGAINST BRACKET ONCE

COMBUSTION AIR

Adequate combustion air is vital for proper combustion and for safe venting. Likewise, for proper SS2 performance, adequate combustion air must be available to the appliance. Many installers assume adequate combustion air is present, especially in older homes. In some cases this is a false ssumption, because many older homes have been made "tight" due to weatherization. Size the combustion air opening(s) into the appliance room as outlined NFPA 54/NFPA 211. When installing a SS2, it is not necessary to supply any more combustion air than normally required when conventional venting. Common symptoms of inadequate combustion air include: Fan Proving Switch short cycling, odor present at the end of burner cycle, outside air enters the structure through the SS2 Vent System on SS2/Appliance off cycle.

FINAL SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK-OUT

1. Adjust thermostat or appliance controls to call for heat.

2. Verify that the SS2 operates first, prior to burner ignition.

Allow heating equipment and SS2 to operate continuously while performing steps 3-5.

3. Close all doors and windows of the building. If heating equipment is installed in utility room or closet, close the entrance door to this room.

Close fireplace dampers.

4. Turn on all appliances in the structure that exhaust indoor air during their operation, e.g. turn on clothes dryer and exhaust fans such as range

hoods, bathroom exhaust and whole house fans.

5. Allow SS2 and equipment to operate for at least 15 minutes. Tripping of the burner circuit by the Fan Prover Switch during the 15 minute operation

indicates an unsafe operating condition. Turn fuel supply off to appliance and DO NOT OPERATE UNTIL UNSAFE VENTING CONDITION IS

INVESTIGATED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

6. Turn thermostat or equipment controls to the "off" position. Verify that the venter operates for the post-purge time period set while burner is not firing

before the SS2 turns off. See “Pre / Post-Purge Settings” on page 5.

7. Return all windows, doors and exhaust fans to their original conditions of use.

TROUBLESHOOTING OIL ODORS

Many problems can be eliminated quite easily by having the equipment properly set up by a professional oil-heat service contractor. The sophistication of today's heating equipment and instrumentation needed for efficient operation requires proper training. There is no substitute for the work of a qualified oil-heat service professional. All troubleshooting recommendations that follow assume the equipment is installed and maintained by a qualified service person.

Post-purge:

A post-purge is always necessary on oil installations. The factory default post-purge time period is 2 minutes. Just as a chimney contin

ues to draft after the burner has shut-down, the SS2 will continue to run to clear the vent system of residual gases. The duration of the post-purge cycle is adjustable from 0 to 16 minutes. We recommend a minimum of 2 minutes post-purge on oil.

Draft Adjustment: The SS2 Draft Adjustment, located on the rear housing of the SS2 is used for setting up the appliance for proper draft. See “Draft Adjustment Procedure” on pages 15, 16.

IMPORTANT

Any adjustment to the draft setting must be followed by an over-fire draft measurement and necessary adjustments to the primary air intake on the burner and barometric draft control. See “Draft Adjustment Procedure” on pages 15, 16.

Burner Adjustment: Verify that the over-fire draft matches that recommended by the heating equipment manufacturer. Adjust the combustion efficiency and smoke characteristics to optimum levels of performance. See “Draft Adjustment Procedure” on pages 15, 16.

Combustion Air: Modern construction methods and materials have reduced natural air infiltration rates to extremely low levels. Even older homes can lack adequate air for combustion, when insulation upgrades and other weatherization methods have been installed. It is recommended that fuel burning appliances have dedicated sources of outside air for combustion. This may be simply accomplished by running a properly sized duct from outdoors and terminating it near the burner air intake. Accessory air intakes are available that connect to the burner motor, using it to pull in the outdoor air. The Tjernlund IN-FORCERTMCombustion Air Intake tempers the raw outdoor air as it is delivered to the burner. Without a source of outdoor air for combustion, a tight home's negative pressures will draw odors back through the venting system during the appliance off cycle.

Chronic Oil Odor Conditions: Certain features of the specific appliance and installation, e.g. high heat-retention combustion chamber; low-mass, drybase; piping system design; oil impurities; air in lines, can all contribute to an increased production of oil odor and cannot always be anticipated. For extreme cases of oil odor nuisance Tjernlund recommends the practice of post-purging the burner during the vent system post-purge. A burner postpurge cycle can eliminate any shortcomings of compatibility between the specific installation and the SS2. Burner post-purge kits, such as, Tjernlund's P/N 950-2043, are available from most oil equipment distributors. Burner post-purge kits should be used on installations where the combustion air is being adequately supplied, yet oil odors continue.

TROUBLESHOOTING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS

The following guide is intended to be used if a problem occurs during the use of the SS2 side wall vent system. It may be necessary to measure voltage during troubleshooting. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent injury. If you are unable to determine the defective part with the use of this guide, call your Tjernlund distributor or Tjernlund Products direct at 1-800-255-4208 for further assistance.

NOTE: The UC1 board must have its 115 VAC power supply present when any of the (1-8) dip switches are moved back to their original position for the fault code to clear.

SYMPTOM 1: SS2 OPERATES CONTINUOUSLY

Verify that Venter is not in post-purge mode which could last up to 16 minutes. A factory post-purge has been set for 2 minutes. LED #4 & #5 (Red) will flash in unison during post-purge. A Venter pre-purge could also be set for up to 35 seconds. LED #4 & #5 (Red) will flash alternately during prepurge. See “Pre / Post-Purge Settings” on page 5.

Verify that LED #1 (Amber) is not lit. Yes, LED #1 (Amber) is lit: Check interlock wiring. Confirm burner control(s) are functioning properly. UC1 control is receiving constant call for heat signal. LED #1 (Amber) is not lit: Replace UC1 circuit board part number 950-8804.

SYMPTOM 2: SS2 MOTOR AND/OR COOLING FAN DOES NOT OPERATE

Verify that UC1 control has power, LED #5 (Red) should be lit. Verify that LED #4 (Red) is not flashing. See “LED Status & Fault Indicators”, page 17. Verify RED voltage selection jumper corresponds with interlock voltage (i.e 24V, 115V or “Dry”).

No: Check circuit breaker, disconnect switches and wiring. Confirm that Venter motor leads are connected to N & MTR terminals. Yes, LED #5 (Red) is lit: Verify that the interlocked burner is calling for heat, LED #1 (Amber) should be lit. No, LED #1 (Amber) is not lit: Verify interlock wiring and that thermostat/aquastat is adjusted to call for heat. Verify that the RED

voltage selection jumper is installed so that it matches the voltage of the interlocked burner. Yes, LED #1 (Amber) is lit: Verify Prover safety circuit fault does not exist. See, “LED Status & Fault Indicators”, page 17.

If faults exist check Prover P1 & P2 safety circuit. If no faults exist, check for 115 VAC across terminals N and MTR. Voltage present: Confirm motor & cooling fan leads are securely on N and MTR. If so, replace SS2 motor p/n 950-0015 or SS2 cooling fan, p/n 950-0020. No voltage present: Replace UC1 circuit board part number 950-8804

SYMPTOM 3: SS2 OPERATES, BUT BURNER DOES NOT

Push reset button on SS2 high limit behind access cover underneath SS2 draft adjustment knob. NOTE: Insufficient post-purge may cause limit to trip. If the limit switch trips, verify that the post-purge setting is long enough to remove residual heat from the combustion chamber. If high limit will not reset and has an open circuit, replace high limit part number 950-0018. Verify that the cooling fan operates whenever the SS2 is running. If high limit trips repeatedly, do not operate the heater until the source of excessive heat has been determined and repaired. For any newly established call for heat the SS2 will run for 60 seconds to try to close the fan prover circuit (P1 to P2). If circuit can not be made after 60 seconds LED #4 (Red) will flash 3 times, indicating a prover check circuit fault on UC1 start up. NOTE: The UC1 safety circuit and LED #4 will be reset if the call for heat interlock signal or 115 VAC power is removed. If the fan prover makes on start up, but breaks for more than 10 seconds during the burner cycle, LED #4 will flash continuously indicating a prover circuit fault. The SS2 will continue to run for 10 minutes to try to make the prover circuit as long as a call for heat exists. If Prover is not made within 10 minutes the SS2 will shut down and LED #4 will flash 4 times indicating a prover circuit fault. Remove the call for heat and then reestablish to reset the UC1 prover safety circuit (P1 to P2) & LED #4.

Verify that LED #2 (Green) is lit. Yes, LED #2 (Green) is lit: Verify that "call jumper" is connected from J1 to J2 on UC1 circuit board if using typical wiring where supply voltage from

terminal 1 is routed to terminal 3 through “call jumper” then to 4 when appliance interlock relay makes. With call for heat established, verify that wiring is correct by measuring voltage between terminals 1 & 2 and 2 & 4 of UC1 terminal strip. NOTE: If a different voltage source is provided to terminal 3 which is switched to terminal 4 or when using the A-B dry contacts, voltage measurements may not apply. For millivolt installations make sure system Limits are reset and relight pilot.

No, LED #2 (Green) is not lit: Remove power from UC1 and push dip switch #9 up or “on” to deactivate Fan Prover status check. Remove P1 and P2 prover leads off of Fan Prover switch and jumper together. Reset SS2 High Limit if not previously done. Reestablish power and call for heat. After Venter pre-purge, if set (up to 35 seconds), LED #2 (Green) should light.

No, LED #2 (Green) does not light: Replace UC1 circuit board, part number 950-8804. Yes, LED #2 (Green) lights up: The Fan Proving switch may not be closing, SS2 High Limit may be tripped, wiring connections are incorrect/broken or

burner control(s) are not functioning properly. Push reset button on SS2 high limit behind access cover underneath SS2 draft adjustment knob. NOTE: Insufficient post-purge may cause limit to trip. If the limit switch trips, verify that the post-purge setting is long enough to remove residual heat from the combustion chamber. Verify that the cooling fan operates whenever the SS2 is running. If high limit trips repeatedly, do not operate the heater until the source of excessive heat has been determined and repaired. If high limit will not reset and has an open circuit, replace high limit part number 950-0018. Verify inlet assembly sensing tube is clean. Verify fan proving switch flexible sensing tube is clean and not crimped or cracked. Remove two fan prover switch retaining screws, disconnect sensing tube from the proving switch and connect sensing tube to draft gauge. Initiate call for heat. With SS2 running, verify that venter performance is sufficient to close fan prover. Draft gauge should read a minimum of -0.40" w.c. If draft gauge is unavailable, verify that Venter performance is sufficient to close Fan Prover contacts by checking for continuity across switch. IMPORTANT: After continuity check push dip switch #9 back down to “activate” Fan Prover status check. Replace Fan Prover leads from P1 and P2 back on Fan Proving switch.

No, measured draft is less than -0.40" w.c. or Prover contacts are not making: Verify that SS2 damper is completely open and visually inspect system for blockages. Confirm that maximum BTU/hr. input, temperature and vent pipe lengths are not exceeded. See “Application Table” on page 1 for capacities.

Yes, measured draft is at least -0.40" w.c.: Replace fan proving switch, (Old style metal, exterior junction box mounted, p/n 950-0016) (New style plastic, interior junction box mounted, p/n 950-0029). Old and new style switches are not interchangeable.

INSTALLER AND USER REQUIREMENTS

• Installer must visually inspect unit annually.

• On oil, installer must verify over-fire draft, CO2 and smoke readings are all correct. See “Draft Adjustment Procedure” on pages 15, 16.

• Inspect vent pipe for evidence of corrosion. If any corrosion is found replace vent pipe and inspect venter.

IMPELLER INSPECTION

We recommend that the SS2 impeller be inspected annually. Improper oil burner adjustment can cause excessive particulate build up over time and impair venter performance. NOTE: See “SS2 Terminology” on page 3 for isometric diagram when following impeller inspection procedure.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE: The following inspection procedure should be done when SS2 is mounted. Use care so hardware is not lost.

1. To examine impeller, remove vent pipe and SS2 inlet pipe by twisting counter clockwise.

2. Remove (7) screws which hold cover plate to vent cabinet.

3. Remove flexible tubing from fan prover sensing tube and remove (8) nuts which hold inlet assembly to venter housing. An impeller that exhibits large

amounts of particulate should be cleaned with a soft metal wire brush and soot cleaner. Clean each blade, as well as the rest of the impeller. An impeller that appears to be out of round should be replaced with a new impeller. After cleaning or replacing impeller, perform “Draft Adjustment Procedure” on pages 15, 16. If inlet assembly is removed for cleaning or replacement of impeller, make sure inlet assembly gasket is in good shape when replacing inlet assembly. If gasket is damaged use a 1/8” bead of high temperature RTV sealant on inlet assembly before securing to venter housing.

MOTOR OILING

The SS2 Motor has sealed ball bearings and requires no oiling.
