3.5 COMBUSTION AIR
Combustion air must be free from dust, lint, etc.
The presence of such materials in the air supplied
to the burner could cause nuisance "Low Air"
shutdowns, reduced capacity, or premature
burner failure. The boiler should not be operated
during construction while the possibility of drywall
dust, demolition dust, etc. exists.
The combustion air supply must be completely
free of chemical fumes which may be corrosive
when burned in the boiler. Common chemicals
which must be avoided are fluorocarbons and
other halogenated compounds, most commonly
present as refrigerants or solvents, such as freon,
trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine, etc.
These chemicals, when burned, form acids which
quickly attack the boiler and the boiler stack.
The result is improper combustion and
premature boiler failure.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air
must be in accordance with Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition, or
applicable provisions of the local building codes.
In Canada, combustion air openings shall
comply with CSA B.149 Installation Code. The
formula is 1 sq. in. per 1,000 Btu/hr of gas input
not less than 100 sq. in. The location shall be
neither more than 18", nor less than 6" above
the floor level.
The boiler room shall be provided with two
openings to ensure adequate combustion air
and proper ventilation. One opening should be 6
to 12 inches above the floor and the other 6 to
12 inches below the ceiling, preferably on
opposite walls. The size of each opening is
determined by whether air is taken from inside or
outside the building. In Canada, ventilation air
openings shall be at least 10% of the cross
sectional area required for combustion air, but
not less than 10 square inches. It is to be
located at the highest practical point
communicating with outdoors.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances shall the boiler room
ever be under a negative pressure. Particular
care should be taken when exhaust fans,
compressors, air-handling units or other
equipment may rob air from the boiler.
3.5.1 Air Inlet Requirements
If air is taken directly from outside the building,
each opening (minimum of two) should have a
net free area of 1 square inch for each 4,000 Btu
per hour of total boiler input. For instance, 112.5
square inches are required for 450,000 Btu per
hour input.
When air is taken from the outdoors through a
vertical duct, 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per
hour is required. If a horizontal duct is used, 1
square inch per 2,000 Btu per hour is required,

IInnssttaallllaattiioonn
i.e., 225 square inches for 450,000 Btu per hour
input.
If air is taken from another interior space, each
opening should have a net free area of 1 square
inch for each 1,000 Btu per hour of boiler input
(450 square inches for a 450,000 Btu per hour.)
3.6 FLUE VENTING
This boiler requires a special vent system. This
boiler is Category IV (condensing – positive
pressure) as it is defined in ANSI Z21.13/CSA
4.9, latest edition. The vent material must be
listed Category IV vent pipe (316L or AL29-4C
Stainless Steel) and comply with UL 1738 or
UL103. In Canada it must comply with ULCS636. The exhaust vent can be run horizontally
or vertically.
This boiler is NOT certified for use with Type
"B" vent.
Vent installations shall be in accordance with Part
10, Venting of Equipment, of the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CSA B.149 code, or
applicable provisions of the local building codes.
The venting system and the horizontal portions of
the venting system shall be supported to prevent
sagging.
WARNING!
Do not use a barometric damper with this
boiler. (This is a positive pressure system;
combustion gas may leak into the room.)
3.6.2 Flue Connection
The connection from the boiler to the vent should
be as direct as possible and the upward slope of
any horizontal breaching should be at least 1/4
inch per linear foot. The vent connection
incorporates a slope toward the boiler to
facilitate pitching of the vent for condensate
collection. This boiler should not be connected
into any portion of another mechanical draft
system operating under positive pressure
without consulting your local venting
representative. Provisions must be made for
supports to prevent contact of the vent with
combustible surfaces.
Note: If the vent is erected directly behind the
boiler, make sure that the weight of the duct is
not supported by the boiler vent. The boiler is
not designed to support the weight of the
duct. Structural support and spacing from
combustible surfaces must be in accordance
with the vent manufacturer's requirements.
The vent must be sized according to the vent
manufacturer’s recommendations. Consult your
vent supplier for correct sizing and structural
support requirements. Design calculations should
be based on a maximum of 0.22" W.C. total
frictional resistance in the stack (measured at the
boiler flue gas discharge), with a stack
temperature of 210° F (gross) and a CO
level of
2
9% (natural gas) or 10.4% (propane). These
values are to be used for vent sizing calculations.
The installation of a bird screen on the vent
termination is recommended. Consult your local
vent manufacturer for proper sizing.

exhaust gas through idle boilers which are
not operating.
3.6.6 Sealed Combustion Air/Venting System
The TRIUMPH Series Boilers are also certified for
operation with a sealed combustion air and
pressurized venting system. Such a system
employs a sealed combustion air intake duct
leading from outdoors and a sealed exhaust vent
terminating outdoors. Air flow through the system
is maintained by the fan inside the boiler
assembly.
Vent Installation Details
Installation must conform to the vent
manufacturer's instructions in all respects
including joining, clearances, fastening, firestopping, and other matters.
Vent ductwork may be run horizontally or
vertically if so certified.
3.6.7 Removing an Existing Boiler
(from a common venting system)
When an existing boiler is removed from a
common venting system, the venting system will
now probably be too large for proper venting of
any remaining appliances that are still connected.
When an existing boiler is removed, complete the
following steps with each appliance remaining
connected to the common venting system (when
they are not in operation):
1. Seal any unused openings in the common
venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch and determine that
there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,
corrosion or other deficiency which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3. Insofar as is practical, close all building
doors and windows and all doors between
the space in which the appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system
are located and other spaces of the building.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances
not connected to the common venting
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so
they will operate at maximum speed. Do not
operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
fireplace dampers.
4. Place the appliance being inspected in
operation. Follow the lighting instructions.
Adjust the thermostat so that the appliance
will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief
opening after 5 minutes of main burner
operation. Use the flame of a match or
candle or smoke from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each
appliance connected to the common venting
system properly vents, return windows,
doors, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and
any other gas-burning appliance to their
previous conditions of use.
Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so the installation
conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 and CSA B149 Installation Code. When
resizing any portion of the common venting
system, the common vent system should be
resized to approach the minimum size as
determined using the appropriate tables.
3.6.8 Intake/Exhaust Layout
Four basic configurations for the intake/exhaust
may be used. Refer to Section 3.6.3 for

900 210
750 175
The installation of a bird screen on the intake
termination is recommended.
3.6.10 Sealing the Intake Duct
Proper sealing of the intake ductwork is
necessary to prevent infiltration of air from
conditioned space. Joints in PVC or CPVC must
be cemented. For galvanized duct, wrap each
joint and seam with adhesive aluminum tape.
3.6.11 Intake Duct Connection to Boiler
Connect the air supply duct to the collar on the
back of the boiler. Fasten the duct to the collar
with sheet metal screws at 90º angles. Seal the
joint.

radius" ells.
3.7 GAS PIPING
Before making the gas hook-up, make sure the
boiler is being supplied with the type of fuel
shown on the boiler nameplate.
The boiler shall be installed such that the gas
ignition system components are protected from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during
appliance operation and service (circulator
replacement, control replacement, etc.)
The boiler is factory fire-tested and adjusted for
proper combustion with natural gas supply
pressure of 7” W.C. Typical gas pressure
supply for natural gas is 7" W.C. (11" W.C. for
propane). The gas train components are
certified to handle a maximum inlet pressure of
14" W.C. (1/2 psig.). If the available gas
pressure exceeds 14" W.C., a suitable additional
intermediate gas pressure regulator of the "lock
up" type must be provided to reduce the
pressure to less than 14" W.C.

The boiler and all gas piping connections should
be pressure-tested and must be checked for
leaks before being placed into service. Test with
compressed air or inert gas if possible.
The boiler must be disconnected at the boiler
manual shut-off valve (located at the end of the
supplied gas train) from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the system
at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14" W.C.).
During any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig (14" W.C.), the boiler should be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing the
manual shut-off.
Some leak test solutions, including soap and
water, may cause corrosion. These solutions
should be rinsed-off with water after testing.

Multiple zones and pumps may result in different
flow rates at different times. Consideration must
be given to all possible conditions and their
consequences.
Piping With Refrigeration Machines
When installed in a two-pipe system that provides
both chilled and hot water, the control system
should be configured so as to limit the time rate of
change of temperature at the boiler. Consult your
authorized Triad boiler representative for
application guidance.
Piping With Air Handling Units
3.8.2 Boiler Inlet and Outlet Connections
Make water connections as the application
warrants, or at a minimum as shown, but always
in compliance with the local requirements.
Note: The boiler is furnished with 2” grooved
connections for Victaulic Style 75 Couplings.
These coupling must be used with the EPDM
Victaulic seals. Isolating valves must be
installed in both water connections for ease
of service.
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating
boiler connected to heating coils located in air
handling units, where they may be exposed to
refrigerated air circulation, must be equipped with
flow control valves or other automatic means to
prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water
during the cooling cycle.
Triad Boiler Systems, Inc – TRIUMPH Series Hot Water Boiler
The bottom connection to the boiler is the INLET
and must be used for the return from the system.
The top connection to the boiler is the OUTLET
and must be connected as the supply to the
system.
* Note: Condensate Trap must be piped to drain
in accordance with all state and local codes.

3.8.3 Boiler Water Piping by Installer
Strainer
To avoid possible contamination of the boiler with
dirt, rust or sediment from the system, a strainer
near the boiler inlet is strongly recommended.
Even new systems may contain sufficient foreign
material to eventually reduce the performance of
the heat exchanger. Adequate circulation of good
clean water is essential to maximum efficiency
and long life of the boiler.
Relief Valve and Piping
Each boiler is supplied with a pressure-relief
valve sized in accordance with ASME
requirements. The relief valve should be piped to
a suitable floor drain. Reducing couplings or other
restrictions are not permitted in the discharge
line.
Low Water Cut-off
The boiler is furnished with a probe-type low
water cut-off; no field piping is required. If the
water level in the boiler drops below the probe,
the boiler will shut down and a flashing E 12
service code will be displayed on the control
panel. The low water cutoff circuit will
automatically reset when the low water condition
clears; however the boiler controls will retain the
lockout condition until the reset button on the
display is depressed.
IMPORTANT!
The low water cutout probe only prevents boiler
operation when the water level in the boiler is
insufficient. It does not detect low water
conditions in other parts of the system.
Installation of high point vents or additional low
water safety devices to protect the system should
be considered.
Installation of external limit controls may be
required by certain codes or in certain
installations. Review applicable local codes for
details.
Drain Valve and Piping
A drain valve is installed in the inlet (system
return) header connection to the boiler. Prior to
draining the boiler for maintenance or testing,
electrical power and gas supply must be turned
off to the boiler. The boiler must then be isolated
from the system at the supply and return
connections prior to draining water from the
boiler.
Note: This drain valve is installed for draining
of the boiler water only, not the entire
system. Draining of the system through the
boiler will result in depositing sediment from
the system in the boiler which will result in
poor heat transfer characteristics of the
boiler and early boiler failure.
Condensate Drain
The condensate can be slightly acidic (pH
between 3.0 and 5.0). This may be corrosive to
some building drain systems. A condensate
neutralization system may be required.
Disposal of condensate must comply with all
state and local codes.
3.8.4 Flushing and Filling
Water Quality
Because the TRIUMPH Series boiler heat
exchanger is made of an aluminum alloy it
requires special water conditions to retain
efficiency and function properly.
IMPORTANT!
Chemicals added to the system must be
approved by the chemical manufacturer for use
in aluminum boilers.
IMPORTANT!
Under no circumstances should petroleum
based cleaning or sealing compounds be used in
the boiler system.

GGaass--FFiirreedd BBooiilleerr
IInnssttaallllaattiioonn
The boiler is designed to operate in a closed-loop
system. As such, the system should be tight and
not require make-up water. A high percentage of
untreated make-up water will cause premature
failure due to buildup of scale; such failure is not
covered by warranty.
Scale can also reduce efficiency. A scale
thickness of 1/16" will result in a 12.5% loss of
efficiency.
Water pH
The pH of the hydronic system fluid must be
between 6.0 and 8.5. A periodic check of the
system pH should be conducted to ensure these
pH levels are maintained.
IMPORTANT!
Glycol and other additives must be approved by
the chemical manufacturer for use in aluminum
boilers and must meet the required pH levels
listed above to prevent damaging the boiler.
The water quality should be within the guidelines
established by the American Boiler Manufacturers
Association, as follows:
Total solids:........................... 2,500 ppm
Total hardness:........................ 150 ppm
The amount of oils, fats, grease, and other
organic matter should be limited to 10 ppm.
Consult your water conditioning or chemical
treatment supplier for the best recommendation.
IMPORTANT!
If the piping system attached to this unit will be
chemically cleaned, the boiler must be
disconnected from the system and a bypass
installed so that the chemical cleaning solution
does not circulate through the boiler. Following
chemical cleaning, the system should be
thoroughly rinsed to remove cleaning agents
prior to reconnecting the boiler to the system.
Filling
To be sure that the boiler is not air-bound, open
the pressure-relief valve located at the rear of
the boiler. Leave the relief valve open until a
steady flow of water is observed. Close the valve
and finish filling the system.
3.9 BURNER AND IGNITION SYSTEM
3.9.1 Inspection
Inspect the unit to be sure nothing was damaged
or knocked loose during shipment. Since some
damage may be hidden, remove the top cover
and inspect the boiler.
Inspect the gas train, blower, ignition electrode
and boiler in general to be sure there was no
damage during shipment or installation.
Flushing the System
Before filling the boiler, flush the system to
remove any debris. Clean and flush old piping
thoroughly before installing the boiler.
IMPORTANT!
Never flush the hydronic system while the boiler
is attached to the system since the debris or
corrosion products could accumulate in the boiler
and plug the boiler heat exchanger.

3.11 SAFETY CHECKS
The following checks of safety systems must be
made before putting the boiler into normal
operation.
Before firing the boiler refer to Sections 4.1 and
4.2 for information on the use of the controls,
lighting, and shut-down procedures.
WARNING!
Never attempt to operate a boiler that has failed
to pass all the safety checks described below.
WARNING!
After checking controls by manual adjustment,
make sure they are always reset to their proper
settings.
3.11.1 Test of Ignition Safety System
TRIUMPH Models T-750, T-900 & T-1000
Test the ignition system safety shutdown as
follows:
1. Cycle the boiler on by generating a heat
request. (The method for this will depend on
your boiler configuration. See Section
3.12.1.2)
2. Place the boiler in operation at the high fire
setting. See section 3.12.4 Gas Valve Setup
and Adjustment , Test Mode High
3. Smoothly close the downstream manual
isolation valve to reduce the gas flow and
cause flame failure.
4 The display will flash E-02 indicating a flame
failure. The E-02 lockout will remain until
reset on the display.
After completing this test, turn off the boiler and
open the downstream manual isolation valve.
3.11.2 Test of Low Water Cut Off
The boiler is furnished with a probe-type Low
Water Cut Off in the outlet nozzle. Test as
follows:
Check the operation of the switch by first turning
the boiler off and then turning the system pump
off. Isolate the boiler from the system pressure.
Then drain the water level below the low water
cut off probe. Turn the boiler back on. It should
not operate, and a manual reset lockout
displaying E 12 on the display panel will occur.
The red light indicator for Low Water Cut Off will
NOT be illuminated. When the water level is
normal, the red light stays illuminated.

Return the system to normal operation and restart
the boiler. Refer to Section 4.2.1.
3.11.3 Test of High-Limit Control
Fire the boiler and test the high limit control as
follows:
With the main burner operating, turn down the
temperature setting on the "high-limit" thermostat
until the main burner shuts off. A manual reset
lockout displaying E 12 on the display panel will
occur. The high-limit switch must be manually
reset prior to resetting the boiler at the display
panel. Readjust the high-limit thermostat to the
desired setpoint.
3.11.4 Test of Gas Pressure Switch
Low Gas Pressure Switch
The boiler is furnished with a low gas pressure
switch. The operation of this switch must be
checked by slowly closing the main gas cock
while the burner is operating. The switch should
shut down the main burner. When the gas
pressure switch opens, a manual reset lockout
displaying E 12 on the display panel will occur.
Upon re-opening the main gas cock, the E 12
indicator will remain on until the display panel is
manually reset.
High Gas Pressure Switch
TRIUMPH Series T-750, T-900 and T-1000 units
equipped with a high pressure switch must be
checked by closing the downstream gas cock
with the boiler off. When the boiler is started, it
should enter its normal starting cycle and fail on
high gas pressure when the gas safety valves
open. The high gas pressure switch actuation is
evident when a manual reset lockout displaying E 12 on the display panel occurs. Upon re-opening
the gas cock, the E 12 indicator will remain on
until the display panel is manually reset.
3.12 INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS
3.12.1 Operating Temperature Controller
The TRIUMPH boiler is equipped with a
combination combustion and temperature
control. This control monitors combustion and
lighting of the boiler, as well as maintaining
temperature of the supply water. The
temperature control portion modulates the boiler
to maintain the desired outlet temperature based
on the selected operating configuration.
CAUTION!
The user should become thoroughly familiar with
the operation of the boiler and controls before
attempting to make any adjustments.

3.12.1.2 Operating Configurations
The boiler has several different operating
configurations. These are:
∑ Internal Setpoint
∑ Domestic Priority
∑ Outdoor Air Reset
∑ Analog Input Setpoint
∑ Analog Input Direct Drive
CAUTION!
Do not modify any parameters other than those
specifically mentioned.
Internal Setpoint:
The internal setpoint is set with parameter 4. The
boiler temperature control modulates the boiler
to maintain this internal setpoint. The upper and
lower temperature differentials are used to
instruct the boiler at what temperature to turn on
and at what temperature to turn off.
The boiler will modulate to try to maintain 160°
F. If the temperature increases above 169° F
which is the setpoint 160° F + High Temp
Differential 9°F the boiler will shut off. Once it
shuts off it will not restart until the temperature
drops below 150° F which is the setpoint – Low
Temp Differential. The Low Temp Set Point will
not permit the operator to adjust the setpoint
below 68° F. (See graph below.)

Domestic Priority:
If an indirect domestic hot water (DHW) tank is
connected, the DHW function of the boiler will
activate when the DHW temperature controller
(supplied by others) closes (Terminal 5 to 8 TB
1, refer to Section 6.1.1), indicating a call for
heat from the DHW system.
Triad Boiler Systems, Inc – TRIUMPH Series Hot Water Boiler
In the above example, the boiler temperature will
be set to the DHW Setpoint + the DHW Setpoint
Addition (140ºF + 30ºF = 170ºF) when the DHW
temperature controller indicates a call for heat
from the DHW system. When the DHW system
calls for heat, the central heat pump output
(Terminal 10 TB2) de-energizes and the DHW
pump output (Terminal 11 TB2) energizes
providing 120 VAC power is provided to energize
a relay coil for the DHW pump. The DHW status
should be set to 1 (DHW system ON).
CAUTION!
Terminal 10 and 11 on TB2 are for pilot duty
only. they should not be connected directly to the
pump.

The set point of the boiler is controlled by an
outdoor temperature sensor. As the outdoor
temperature falls the setpoint of the boiler is
increased. The boiler modulates to maintain this
setpoint.
Triad Boiler Systems, Inc – TRIUMPH Series Hot Water Boiler

GGaass--FFiirreedd BBooiilleerr
IInnssttaallllaattiioonn
The setpoint is adjusted according to the above
parameters. The boiler setpoint will be the
maximum value (180° F) when the outdoor air is
at or below a minimum temperature value (20° F).
The boiler setpoint will be at the minimum value
(80° F), when outdoor air is at or above a
maximum temperature value (70° F). The setpoint
for “in between“values of outdoor air
temperature, is linearly proportional to the above
settings. Using the values in the table above, the
boiler setpoint will be 80° F when the outdoor air
temperature is 70° F. As the outdoor air
temperature drops, the boiler setpoint will be
increased until the outdoor air temperature is 20°
F. At this point the boiler will reach its maximum
setpoint of 180° F. If the outdoor air temp drops
further, the boiler setpoint remains at 180° F.
The boiler shutoff temperature can be used to
turn the boiler off at a given setpoint. For example
if you wanted to shut the boiler off when the
outdoor air temperature was above 65° F you
would set the boiler shutoff temp to 90° F since
this is the setpoint that is called for at 65° F
outside air temp.
The setpoint of the boiler is controlled by an
external 0-10 VDC signal. A signal of at least 0.5
VDC is required to start the boiler. At 0 VDC the
setpoint is 32° F; at 10 VDC the setpoint is 212°
F. This setpoint is low and high limited by
maximum and minimum setpoint parameters.
The controlled setpoint voltage range narrows
when these limits are used. If the above tables
values are used the boiler setpoint will be 80° F
when the voltage is anything less than
approximately 3 VDC. It will then increase
linearly with voltage until approximately 8.5 VDC

boiler when the temperature in the boiler exceeds
this value plus the high temp differential. These
voltage levels, as explained above, are all “nonadjustable”.
3.12.2 Gas Pressure Adjustment
Note: Adjustments shall only be performed
by service representative specifically trained
and certified to perform maintenance on the
Triad TRIUMPH Series boiler.
See rating plate for the minimum and maximum
gas pressure of the boiler. Each boiler is
furnished with a manual shut-off valve which has
an integrated test port.
This gas pressure port is located on the upstream
side of the valve body for measuring supply
pressure. (See figure below.)
(See instructions below). Adjust the carbon
dioxide (CO2) or oxygen (O2) reading to achieve
conditions as listed in the following Table 3-1.
3.12.4 Gas Valve Setup and Adjustment
Verify gas pressure at inlet to boiler is in
accordance with Table 3-1 on the following
page. Gas flow is dependent primarily on fan speed not upstream gas pressure. When set
up for natural gas operation, the boiler is capable
of operating with gas supply pressure as low as
3.5” W C.
Boiler Test Mode:
The test mode should be used when checking
and setting the gas safety shut off / control
valves on the TRIUMPH Series boilers. In this
mode an automatic heat request is simulated as
follows:
Test Mode High:
Test Port
The supply pressure during main burner
operation must be greater than the minimum
indicated on the rating plate (3.5". W.C. for
natural gas, 7" W.C. for propane).
3.12.3 Air Flow Adjustments
The air flow is pre-set at the factory prior to
shipment. In unusual situations the air/gas ratio
may have to be adjusted to obtain proper
combustion readings for specific local conditions.
Combustion measurement instrumentation must
be used to adjust the boiler for local conditions
Simultaneously pressing the “Mode” button and
the “+” button for 3 seconds activates the “Test
Mode High” function to drive the boiler output to
maximum. The display will blink and indicate “H”
in the first digit of the display to indicate the
boiler is being driven to the maximum output
rating. This test mode will automatically
terminate after 15 minutes or can be terminated
from the control/display panel by simultaneously
pressing the “+” and “-“ buttons for three
seconds.
Test Mode Low:
Simultaneously pressing the “Mode” button and
the “-” button for 3 seconds activates the “Test
Mode Low” function to drive the boiler output to
minimum. The display will blink and indicate “L”
in the first digit of the display to indicate the
boiler is being driven to the minimum output
rating. This test mode will automatically
terminate after 15 minutes or can be terminated
from the control/display panel by simultaneously
pressing the “+” and “-“ buttons for three
seconds.

Combustion analyzer
The TRIUMPH T-750, T-900 and T-1000 boilers
are equipped with a Honeywell combined gas/air
control and gas safety shut off control valves. The
valve functions in parallel with the variable speed
combustion blower to supply the correct gas air
ratio for optimum performance and efficiency. The
combustion blower speed is controlled
automatically and determines the amount of
negative pressure felt at the gas safety shut off /
control valves. The gas/air regulator adjusts gas
flow to maintain the proper pressure at the outlet
nozzle of the associated valve.
Adjustment:
There must be sufficient load to operate the boiler
at high fire to perform the following adjustments.
Start the boiler and observe proper operating
parameters for the system.
High Fire Setting
Set boiler to the “Test Mode High”, as described
above, to achieve maximum firing rate of the
boiler. Check combustion readings using a
combustion analyzer. If combustion readings are
not in accordance with Table 3-1, adjust as
follows:
Remove the flat, round, blue plastic cap from the
cover. Using a 3mm (7/64”) hex wrench, turn the
adjustment screw counterclockwise to increase or
clockwise to decrease gas flow and achieve the
desired CO2 or O2 level; see Table 3-1 for correct
settings. There will be a slight time delay between
the adjustment and the response of the CO2/O2
measuring instrument. Adjust the settings in small
increments and allow the combustion readings to
stabilize before readjusting. When desired
adjustments are complete, reinstall the blue
plastic cap on the cover.
Low Fire Setting
Set boiler to the “Test Mode Low”, as described
above, to achieve minimum firing rate of the
boiler. Check combustion readings using a
combustion analyzer. If combustion readings are
not in accordance with Table 3-1, adjust as
follows:
∑ Remove the cap on the gas regulator
using a slotted screwdriver. This will
expose the offset adjustment screw.
∑ Using a TORX® T40 or a 5 mm hex
wrench, carefully adjust the low fire gas
setting to achieve the CO2 /O2 level
prescribed in Table 3-1.
∑ The rotation of the Low Fire adjustment
is opposite of the High Fire as follows:
Clockwise rotation increases gas flow,
counterclockwise rotation decreases
gas flow.
∑ Adjustments to the offset pressure
regulators should not exceed ¼ turn at a
time before allowing the readings to
respond and stabilize.
∑ After proper low fire offset adjustment is
made, reinstall the slotted cap on the
regulator.

5.4 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
1. When the On/Off (Main power) switch is
turned on, power is provided through a circuit
breaker to the boiler control and the
combustion blower. The boiler control powers
a 24 V transformer. The boiler control
supplies 24 V power through a high limit
temperature switch and a low water level
control.
2. The low water level control is closed when
there is water in the boiler up to the probe.
3. When the temperature sensed by the high
limit temperature control is below the set limit,
the switch is closed. Manual reset of the
switch is required following conditions
exceeding high limit temperature.
4. If either the high limit temperature control or
the low water level control is open, the boiler
control locks out and indicates E 12 on the
display.
5. Depending on the settings in the boiler
control, a heat request is generated.
6. The controller checks that the low air pressure
switch is open indicating no airflow. The
blower is driven towards the prestart fan
speed. When the air pressure switch closes
the 15 second prepurge time is started, and
the blower is driven toward the ignition speed.
7. After the 15 second prepurge the gas
pressure switch circuit is checked to ensure
the gas pressure is within design parameters.
8. If there are no lockouts then when the blower
speed is within 200 rpm of the ignition fan
speed, a trial for ignition period of 3 seconds
is initiated. The internal spark generator and
the gas safety shut off / control valves are
energized.
9. The internal spark generator is de-energized
.3 seconds before the end of the trial for
ignition period. After the trial for ignition
period, if a flame signal is detected by the
flame rectification system, the control initiates
a flame stabilization period of 5 seconds at
the ignition rpm of the fan. The fan is driven to
low fire for 1 minute before the boiler is
released to modulation.
10. The unit modulates between the low fire
setting and the high fire setting to maintain
the desired outlet water temp set point.
11. When the load is below the low fire rating of
the boiler the boiler will continue firing and the
outlet water temperature will rise until it
reaches the set point + temperature
differential. At this point the burner is turned
off, and the fan continues to run to post purge
the boiler for 15 seconds.
12. When the water temperature is reduced by
the load on the system, a heat request is
again generated. The operating sequence will
recycle to step 6, provided the limits on water
level, gas pressure and high temperature are
all met.
5.5 TROUBLESHOOTING
The TRIUMPH Series boiler will display service
codes to indicate some problems with the boiler.
There are two types of lockouts the control may
experience: manual reset lockouts requiring an
operator to press the reset button, and automatic
reset lockouts, where the control will
automatically attempt to restart the boiler. A
listing of service codes is included at the end of
this section.
Should the unit fail to operate, call a qualified
service technician to troubleshoot the problem
and implement corrective action.
The Loss of Power
In the event of a power failure (or when the
On/Off switch is in the Off position), the display
panel is not illuminated and the entire system is
de-energized, closing all automatic valves and
halting all boiler operations. When power is
restored the sequence of operation will resume at
Step 5, provided that all the limits are satisfied. If
any manual reset lockout was present when the
power is lost, the display will flash E 04 when the
Triad Boiler Systems, Inc – TRIUMPH Series Hot Water Boiler
Page 32
TTRRIIUUMMPPHH SSeerriiees
s
GGaass--FFiirreedd BBooiilleerr
MMaaiinntteennaannccee
power is resumed. This indicates that the control
was in lockout mode but does not indicate which
service code was present.
Low Water Level
The low water switch opens when there is
insufficient water level in the boiler. E 12 is shown
on the display, and burner operation is
interrupted. When the correct water level is reestablished, pushing the reset button will return
the sequence to Step 5, provided that the other
limits are satisfied. When the water level is back
to normal, the red light on the Low Water Cut Off
will be illuminated.
Low Gas Pressure
The low gas pressure switch opens when there is
(or has been) insufficient gas pressure available
for proper operation of the boiler; E 12 is shown
on the display, and burner operation is
interrupted. If a gas-supply shut-off valve is
closed for any reason, a low gas condition will
result.
When gas pressure is restored, E 12 will remain
on the display panel, and the boiler will remain
locked out until the front panel reset button is
pressed.
Once the control is reset, the sequence returns to
Step 5, provided that the other limits are satisfied.
High Gas Pressure
The high gas pressure switch opens when there
is (or has been) excessive gas pressure for the
proper operation of the boiler. An E 12 service
code is displayed and the burner operation is
interrupted.
When proper gas pressure is restored, E 12
remains on the display with the boiler locked out
until the front display panel reset button is
pressed.
High Water Temperature
When the boiler water has exceeded both the
operating and high-limit temperature the high limit
switch opens, and E 12 is shown on the display.
When the water temperature falls below the highlimit temperature, the boiler will remain locked out
until the switch is manually reset and the front
panel reset button is pressed. Once the switch,
and the front panel are reset, the sequence
returns to Step 5, provided that the other limits
are satisfied.
Low Air
If the display panel indicates E 08 this indicates
insufficient airflow through the burner. Check that
the burner is clean ("Cleaning the Burner,"
Section 5.2) and that there are no obstructions to
airflow in the intake or exhaust ducts. A low air
indication does not necessarily mean that the low
air switch is defective.
Air Switch Closed
If the display panel indicates B 61 this indicates
the air pressure switch did not open when the
blower was shut off. Check that there is no air
flow through the boiler when the fan is off. If there
is no hidden source of air flow, replace the switch.
Flame Failure
In the event of a flame failure during a firing
period or a trial for ignition, the main fuel valves
are de-energized and a manual reset lockout
occurs. After the spark ignition is re-energized,
the 3 second trial-for-ignition begins again. If
flame failure occurs during a trail-for-ignition, a
safety lockout occurs. The display will indicate E
02. If flame failure occurs and an service code is
displayed, the combustion control must be
manually reset.
E 00 signifies a leaky gas valve. In the event of a
false flame signal E 00 fault code is indicated.
This fault code could indicate a gas valve failure
or leakage of the gas valve. If gas valve leakage
is suspected, the unit must be isolated by turning
off the main gas supply line until the gas valve is
replaced.
