Install unions for easy removal of the MODULATING DELTA from the sys­tem piping.
Domestic Supply Pressure
For applications in which the domestic sup­ply pressure exceeds mended to install a pressure reducing valve on the cold water supply.
Maintaining the cold water supply at or below expansion from repeatedly forcing the T&P relief valve open.
Thermal Expansion
If the cold water supply to the domestic inner tank contains a backflow preventer, check valve and / or a pressure reducing valve, the installer must install a domestic thermal expansion tank on the cold water supply. (See Fig. 2 page 11)
Installing a thermal expansion tank will prevent normal thermal expansion from repeatedly forcing the T&P relief valve open.
When installing a thermal expansion tank ensure the charge pressure of the tank is equal to the cold water supply pressure at the point of installation. Consult the ther­mal expansion tank manufacturer’s instruc­tions for further information on installation and sizing.
70 psig will prevent normal thermal
70 psig it is recom-
CAUTION
The Temperature / Pressure relief valve is not intended for constant duty, such as relief of pressure due to normal thermal expansion.
Water Hammer
Water hammer is the effect of sudden pres­sure changes occurring in the domestic pip­ing. These pressure changes are typically the result of “fast acting” positive shut-off valves closing. These types of valves can be typically found on dishwashers and clothes washers.
The effects of water hammering can cause damage to system components and tank welds on the appliance.
Installation of hammer arresters is recom­mended at these types of appliances, which incorporate “fast-acting” positive shut-off valves. Consult the manufacturer of water hammer arresters for recommendation on sizing and installation requirements.
Temperature / Pressure Relief Valve
The MODULATING DELTA has a factory installed Temperature / Pressure Relief valve.
The installer must install discharge piping onto the T&P relief valve. The discharge piping must be:
Made of material serviceable for tem­peratures of 250ºF or greater.
Directed so that any hot water dis­charge flows away from all persons.
Directed to a suitable place of drainage.
Installed as to allow complete draining of the T&P relief valve and the dis­charge piping.
Terminated with a plain end, not with threads.
8
Page 15
Domestic Piping
CAUTION
Failure to properly direct the discharge piping of the T&P relief valve may result in flooding of the area adjacent to the appliance and/or lower floors in the structure causing substantial property damage.
The installer must not install the T&P relief valve discharge piping in a manner that is:
Excessively long: Using more than 2 elbows and/or 15 feet of discharge pip­ing can reduce the discharge capacity.
Terminated directly into a drain: The discharge piping must terminate within 6 inches of the drain. Check with local plumbing codes for termination guide­lines.
The discharge piping is plugged, reduced in size or restricted in any manner.
DANGER
For proper operation of the thermostatic mixing valve and to prevent potential scalding hazards, the recirculation loop should be controlled by an aquastat. DO NOT use continuous recirculation or timers.
Mixing Valve Installation
1. Remove the jacket top panel by pushing up on the corners.
2. Remove the mixing valve from the carton located inside the front control cover.
3. Apply pipe dope to the male threads locat­ed on the “H” (hot) side of the mixing valve and the internal threads of the domestic hot water supply tee.
4. Thread the “H” side of the mixing valve in to the domestic hot water supply tee, align valve and tighten using two wrenches to avoid pipe damage.
The discharge piping is subject to freezing.
WARNING
DO NOT install any valves between the T&P relief valve and the discharge pip­ing. DO NOT plug the T&P relief valve or the discharge piping. Improper place­ment and piping of the T&P relief valve can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Thermostatic Mixing Valve
The MODULATING DELTA contains a facto­ry equipped thermostatic mixing valve with built-in check valve. The operating range of the thermostatic mixing is 90ºF to 120ºF.
For applications with a domestic recirculation loop, the recirculation pump should be con­trolled by an aquastat. The maximum recom­mended setting of the aquastat is 10ºF lower than the thermostatic mixing valve setting.
Domestic Cold Water Supply Piping Assembly Installation
1. Locate the domestic cold water supply pip­ing assembly at the top of the appliance.
2. Apply pipe dope to the male threads of the domestic cold water supply piping assembly and the internal threads of the cold water supply tee.
3. Thread the domestic cold water supply pip­ing assembly in to the domestic cold water supply tee, align the branch with the domestic system piping and tighten using two wrenches to avoid pipe damage.
U-Tube Assembly
The MODULATING DELTA is supplied with a U-Tube Assembly that directs cold water to the thermostatic mixing valve.
To install the U-Tube Assembly the installer must:

1. Disconnect the cold inlet adapter/union from the thermostatic mixing valve.
2. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the plastic check valve assembly from the adapter.
3. Solder the U-Tube Assembly onto the adapter. See Fig. 1.
4. Once the adapter has sufficiently cooled, re-insert the check valve assem­bly making sure of orientation and reconnect onto the mixing valve.
5. Solder the remaining end of the U-tube to the adapter on the cold inlet piping
If the installation requires domestic hot water for a commercial dishwasher, the installer may insert a tee connection between the appliance and the mixing valve to provide high temperature domestic hot water. The installer must reference local plumbing codes to ensure if this type of application is permissible.
Domestic Drain Valve
- The installer must install a drain valve and drain leg as shown in Fig. 2 page 11.
- The drain valve should be positioned close to the floor to aid in the siphon action required to drain the inner tank.
Multiple Appliances Installation
For applications using multiple appliances the domestic piping should be piped using a bal­anced manifold arrangement.
The installer should remove the thermostatic mixing valve from the appliances and install a single thermostatic mixing valve at the outlet of the hot water manifold. The thermostatic mixing valve should be sized according to the required flow rate and pressure drop. Refer to the thermostat mixing valve manufacturer specification and installation instructions for more details. Reference Fig. 4, page 12 for pip­ing diagram.
DANGER
The thermostatic mixing valve MUST be installed and utilized on the MODU­LATING DELTA. Removal of the ther­mostatic mixing valve will result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
The manual valve on the U-Tube assem­bly must remain in the full open position for proper operation of the thermostatic mixing valve.
Fig. 1: Mixing Valve Assembly
Storage Tank Application
For applications requiring large volumes of domestic hot water in a relative short period, the installer may include a storage type tank (see Fig. 5 page 13) in the domestic piping. The installer must:
1. Relocate the thermostatic mixing valve from the MODULATING DELTA to the outlet of the storage tank.
2. Provide recirculation from the storage tank back to the MODULATING DELTA using a bronze type circulator. Recommended flow rate is 5 to 10 gpm maximum.
NOTE
Recirculation from the storage tank can be accomplished through the drain connection if a 3rd tapping is unavail­able on the storage tank. The recircula­tion circulator must be controlled by an aquastat.

Primary Piping
SECTION IV - Primary Piping
General Piping Requirements
- All plumbing must meet or exceed all local, state and national plumbing codes.
- Support all piping using hangers. DO NOT support piping by the appliance or its com­ponents.
- Use isolation valves to isolate system com­ponents.
- Install unions for easy removal of the MOD­ULATING DELTA from the system piping.
Pressure Relief Valve
1. The MODULATING DELTA is supplied with a 30 psi pressure relief valve.
2. To avoid potential water damage to the sur­rounding area or potential scalding hazard due to the operation of the relief valve, the discharge piping:
WARNING
Failure to comply with the guidelines on installing the pressure relief valve and discharge piping can result in personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Low Water Cutoff Device
- The MODULATING DELTA is equipped with a factory installed pres­sure switch style Low Water Cut Off device.
- The minimum operating system pres­sure allowable with this device is 10 psig.
- Check local codes which require a low water cutoff device for compliance of this device.
Additional Limit Control
- Must be connected to the discharge out­let of the relief valve and directed to a safe place of disposal.
- Length should be as short and direct as possible. The size of the discharge line should not be reduced; maintain the same size as the outlet of the relief valve.
- Should be directed downward towards the floor at all times. The piping should terminate at least 6 inches above any drain connection to allow clear visibili­ty of the discharge.
- Should terminate with a plain end, not with a threaded end. The material of the piping should have a serviceable temperature rating of 250ºF or greater.
- Should not be subject to conditions where freezing could occur.
- Should not contain any shut-off valves or obstructions. No shut-off valve should be piped between the appliance and the relief valve.
If a LWCO device is required by certain local jurisdictions, the following guidelines must be followed:
- The LWCO device must be designed for water installations, electrode probe­type is recommended.
- The LWCO device must be installed in a tee connection on the supply or return piping above the appliance.
- Wiring of the LWCO device to the MODULATING DELTA is done direct­ly onto the 24V terminal strip, refer­ence Fig. 13 page 26 for available ter­minals for an external limit (manual or auto reset).
If an additional high temperature limit is required by local code requirements the limit should be installed as follows:
- Install the limit in the appliance supply piping between the appliance and any isolation valve.
14
Page 21
Primary Piping
- Maximum set point for the limit is 186ºF.
- For wiring of the limit reference Fig. 13, page 26, using the external limit/manual reset terminals on the 24V terminal strip. This will provide a "hard" lockout requiring a manual reset of the control.
Backflow Preventer
- Use a backflow preventer valve in the make-up water supply to the appliance as required by local codes.
Primary System Piping Applications
BEST PRACTICE
It is recommended on all piping applica­tions to utilize a primar
y/secondary pip­ing arrangement as a means to provide freeze protection of the appliance, which is an integral function of the appliance control and to utilize the full function of the CH circulator while maintaining the minimum flow rate, see Graph 1, page 56. For other piping arrangements, consult the Engineering Department at Triangle Tube or consult other approved/recog­nized design arrangements.
BEST PRACTICE
Expansion Tank and Makeup Water
Ensure the expansion tank is properly sized for the outer tank volume (approximately 20 gallons) and the system volume and temperature.
CAUTION
Undersized expansion tanks will cause sys­tem water to be lost through the pressure relief valve and cause additional makeup water to be added to the system. Eventual primary tank failure can result due to this excessive makeup water addition.
The expansion tank must be located as shown in Fig. 7 through 10, pages 18 through 21 or as per recognized design methods. Refer to the expansion tank man­ufacturer instructions for additional instal­lation details.
Connect the expansion tank to an air sepa­rator only if the air separator is located on the suction side (inlet) of the system circu­lator. Always locate and install the system fill connection at the same location as the expansion tank connection to the system.
Diaphragm (Bladder) Expansion Tank
Always install an automatic air vent on the top of the air separator to remove residual air from the system.
On piping applications utilizing a single zone or other recognized piping design arrangements, it is recommended the installer uses flow/check valves with weighted seats at or near the appliance to prevent gravity circulation.
NOTICE
To prevent potential outer tank failure, the primary system piping must be a “closed” loop system to avoid any oxygen contamination of the primary water.
Closed-Type (Standard) Expansion Tank
It is recommended to pitch any horizontal piping toward the expansion tank 1 inch per 5 feet of piping. Use 3/4” piping for the expansion tank to allow air within the sys­tem to rise.
For proper operation of the expansion tank and system, remove the factory installed automatic air vent from the MODULAT­ING DELTA and plug the connection.
15
Page 22
Primary Piping
NOTICECAUTION
DO NOT install automatic air vents on a closed-type expansion tank system. Air must remain in the system and be returned to the expansion tank to pro­vide an air cushion. An automatic air vent would cause air to be vented from the system resulting in a water-logged expansion tank.
Circulator
The MODULATING DELTA is supplied with a circulator that is pre-wired to allow for domestic priority. Locate the circulator in the return or supply piping as shown in the piping diagrams included in this manual.
Sizing Primary Piping
See Figs: 7 through 10, pages 18 - 21, for recommended piping arrangements based on various applications. In all diagrams, the space heating system is isolated from the MODULATING DELTA using primary / secondary piping connections.
Size the piping and system components required in the space heating system using recognized design methods.
System Piping - Zone Circulators
Connect the MODULATING DELTA to the system piping as shown in Fig. 9 page 20 when zoning with zone circulators. The circulator supplied with the MODULAT­ING DELTA should not be used for a heat zone. It must supply only the primary loop.
Install a separate circulator for each zone of space heating.
To control the zone circulators refer to Fig. 16, page 30 or Fig. 17 Page 31.
To ensure adequate flow rate through the MODULATING DELTA, maintain a minimum 1 inch diameter on the system piping connecting the appliance to and from the primary / secondary connec­tion.
System Piping - Zone Valves
Connect the MODULATING DELTA to the system piping with primary secondary pip­ing as shown in Fig. 8 page 19 when zoning with zone valves.
To control the system circulator refer to Fig. 14, page 28.
NOTICE
To ensure adequate flow rate through the MODULATING DELTA, maintain a minimum 1 inch diameter on the system piping connecting the appliance to and from the primary / secondary connec­tion.
System Piping - Radiant Heating with Mixing Valve
Connect the MODULATING DELTA to the system piping as shown with a radiant sys­tem using a thermostatic mixing valve as shown in Fig. 9 page 20. The primary / sec­ondary piping ensures sufficient return tem­perature to the MODULATING DELTA.
NOTICE
If the radiant system tubing contains no oxygen barrier, a stainless steel heat exchanger must be used. Failure to install a heat exchanger could lead to premature failure of the outer tank and void any warranty claim.
16
Page 23
Primary Piping
WARNING
Radiant heating system piping should include a means of regulating the prima­ry return water. The return water tem­perature to the appliance should be maintained at 130ºF or higher. Failure to prevent low return water temperature to the appliance could cause premature failure of the appliance and it’s burner system resulting in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
NOTICE
If the return system temperature is not maintained above 130ºF, the appliance will begin high fire rate and shut down the primary circulator to prevent con­densation from occuring within the appliance.
Size the heating system piping and circula­tor to provide the flow needed for the radiant system.
To control the zone circulators reference Figs. 16 or 17, pages 30 & 31.
NOTICE
To ensure adequate flow rate through the MODULATING DELTA, maintain a minimum 1 inch diameter on the system piping connecting the appliance to and from the primary / secondary connection.
System Piping - Multiple Appliances Installation
Use a primary / secondary connection to the space heating piping as shown in Fig. 10 page 21 or other recognized design methods.

WARNING
Do not use petroleum-base cleaning or sealing compounds in the primary sys­tem. Damage to seals and gaskets in the system components could occur, result­ing in substantial property damage.
NOTICE
System water including additives must be practically non-toxic, having a toxicity rating or Class of 1, as listed in Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products.
Water pH Level 6.0 to 8.0
Maintain the primary system water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Check using litmus paper or contact a water treatment compa­ny for a chemical analysis.
If the pH does not meet this requirement, do not operate the MODULATING DELTA or leave the appliance filled until the condi­tion is corrected.
Water Hardness Less Than 7 Grains
NOTICE
Any water conditioning system must be installed and maintained in accor­dance with the water conditioner’s manufacturer’s specifications and within the operating guidelines of the MODULATING DELTA.
Chlorinated Water
Do not use the MODULATING DELTA inner or outer tank to heat a swimming pool or spa directly.
Maintain the chlorine level of the water in the inner and outer tanks at levels consid­ered safe for drinking.
Flush Primary and Domestic System to Remove Sediment
The installer must flush both the primary and domestic system to remove any sedi­ment to allow proper operation of the MODULATING DELTA.
Flush the systems until the water runs clean and is free of sediment.
For primary zoned systems, each zone should be flushed through a purge valve. Purge valves and isolation valves should be installed on each zone to allow for proper flushing of the system.
For areas with unusually hard water (hard­ness above 7 grains) consult a water treat­ment company.
Chloride Concentration Less Than 80 mg/L
For those installations that use a water soft­ener or conditioner, consult the water treat­ment company.
Check and Test Antifreeze
For primary systems containing antifreeze solutions, follow the antifreeze manufac­turer’s instructions in verifying the inhibitor level and to ensure the fluid char­acteristics are within specification require­ments.
Due to the degradation of inhibitors over time, antifreeze fluids must be periodically replaced. Refer to the manufacturer of the antifreeze for additional instructions.
32
Page 39
Start-Up Preparation
NOTICE
System water, including additives must be practically non-toxic, having a toxicity rating of Class 1, as listed in Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products.
Use of Antifreeze in the Primary System
WARNING
NEVER use automotive or ethylene gly­col antifreeze or undiluted antifreeze in the primary system as freeze protection. This can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage if ignored.
Determine the antifreeze fluid quantity using the system water content volume and following the antifreeze manufacturer instructions.
The primary outer tank volume of the MODULATING DELTA is approximately 20 gallons. Remember to include the vol­ume of the expansion tank.
Check with local codes requirements for the installation of back flow preventers or actual disconnect from the make up water supply line.
Ensure the concentration of antifreeze to water does not exceed a 50/50 ratio.
NOTICE
System water including additives must be practically non-toxic, having a toxicity rating of Class 1, as listed in Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products.
Filling the Inner (Domestic) Tank and System
WARNING
Proceed with filling instructions for the inner and outer tanks only after ensur­ing the water meets the requirements listed in this installation manual. Failure to comply could result in damage and improper operation of the appliance.
CAUTION
Never operate the MODULATING DELTA unless both the inner and outer tanks are completely filled.
CAUTION
Always fill the inner tank prior to filling and pressurizing the outer tank. Failure to properly fill the inner tank could result in damage to the inner tank.
1. Ensure the domestic drain valve is closed.
2. Open the isolation valves on the domestic cold supply piping to the MODULATING DELTA and on the domestic hot outlet pip­ing to the building (if provided).
3. Vent any air from the domestic piping sys­tem by opening faucets near the appliance. Continue filling the domestic system until there is a constant flow of water from the faucets.
4. Close the hot water faucets.
Filling the Outer (Primary) Tank and System
1. Close the primary drain valve located on the rear of the appliance and any manual or automatic air vent in the system.
2. Open all system isolation valves.
33
Page 40
Start-Up Preparation
3. Fill the outer tank to correct system pres­sure. Correct pressure will vary with each application.
NOTICE
Typical residential system fill pressure is 12 psi. System pressure will increase when system temperature increases. Operating pressure of the system should never exceed 25 psi.
4. Allow air to escape from the outer tank by opening the automatic air vent provided with the MODULATING DELTA.
5. Purge air in each zone of the primary sys­tem through the purge valve. Open air vents to allow air to be purged in the zones.
6. Once the system is completely filled and purged of all air, check the system pressure and check for leaks.
Check For Gas Leaks
WARNING
Prior to start-up and during initial opera­tion, smell near the floor and around the appliance for gas odorant or any unusual odor. Do not proceed with the start-up if there is any indication of a gas leak. Any leaks found must be repaired immediate­ly.
WARNING
DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure gas valve outlet pressure.
The gas valve is factory-set for the correct outlet pres­sure. This setting is suitable for natural gas and propane and requires no field adjustment.
Attempts by the installer to adjust or measure the gas valve outlet pressure could result in damage to the valve, causing potential severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
WARNING
Propane installations only - The propane supplier mixes an odorant with the propane to make its presence detectable. In some cases the odorant can fade and the gas may no longer have an odor.
Prior to start-up of the appliance and periodically after start-up, have the propane supplier check an verify the odorant level.
Check Thermostat Circuit
- Disconnect the external thermostat wires from terminals 7 and 8 on the low voltage terminal strip.
- Connect a voltmeter across the wire ends of the external thermostat wiring.
- Close each thermostat, zone valve and relay in the external circuit one zone at a time and check the voltage reading across the wire ends.
- There should
NEVER be voltage mea-
sured at the wire ends.
- If voltage is measured at the panel under any condition, check and correct the external wiring.
NOTICE
In systems using 3-wire zone valves backfeed of voltage to the appliance is a common problem. Use an isolation relay to prevent voltage from the external cir­cuit entering the MODULATING DELTA control panel.

Maintenance Procedures
SECTION XIII - Maintenance Procedures
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
WARNING
The MODULATING DELTA should be inspected and serviced annually, prefer­ably at the start of the heating season, by a qualified service technician. In addi­tion, the maintenance and care of the appliance as outlined on page 48 and further explained on pages 49 through 53 should be performed to assure maxi­mum efficiency and reliability of the appliance. Failure to service and main­tain the MODULATING DELTA and the system components could result in equipment failure, causing possible severe personal injury, death or substan­tial property damage.
NOTICE
The following information provides detailed instruction for completing the maintenance items outline in the mainte­nance schedule on page 48. In addition to this maintenance, the MODULAT­ING DELTA should be serviced at the beginning of the heating season by a qualified service technician.
Refer to the list of potential materials listed in the MODULATING DELTA Vent Supplement. If any of these products are in the room from which the appliance takes its combustion air, they must be removed immediately or the combustion air intake must be relocated to another area.
Inspect Burner Area
Remove the burner hood and inspect the appearance of the burner components.
Vacuum any dirt or debris from the burner components.
Remove the venturi inlet elbow to check for dirt and debris. Remove any obstructions.
WARNING
Do not use solvents to clean any of the burner components. The components could be damaged, resulting in unreli­able or unsafe operation.
Check System (Primary and Domestic) Piping
Inspect all piping on the Primary Heating system and the Domestic system for leaks and verify that the piping is leak free.
Inspect the fittings and components on the appliance and verify they are leak free.
Reported Pr
Any problems reported by the owner should be checked, verified and corrected before proceeding with any maintenance procedures.
Check Surrounding Area
Verify that the area surrounding the MOD­ULATING DELTA is free of combustible / flammable materials or flammable vapors or liquids. Remove immediately if found.
oblems
WARNING
Eliminate all primary water system leaks. Continual fresh make-up water will reduce the outer tank life causing tank failure. Leaking water may also cause severe property damage to the surround­ing area.
49
Page 56
Maintenance Procedures
Check Combustion/ Ventilation Air Openings
Verify that all combustion air and ventila­tion openings to the mechanical room or building are open and unobstructed. Check the operation and wiring of any automatic ventilation dampers.
Check and verify the vent discharge and the combustion air intake are free of debris and obstructions.
Inspect Vent System and Combustion Air Piping
Visually inspect the venting system and combustion air piping (if installed) for blockage, deterioration or leakage. Repair any vent joints that show signs of deterio­ration as per the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
When combustion air is ducted to the appli­ance, verify that the air inlet piping is con­nected and sealed.
WARNING
Check Domestic System
Verify all system components are correctly installed and operating correctly.
Check the outlet domestic temperature of the mixing valve and compare with the recorded temperature made during start-up.
Check Expansion Tank
Refer to Primary Piping, Page 15 for rec­ommended location of the expansion tank and air eliminators.
Close -Type Tank:
- Ensure tank is partially filled with water leaving an air gap as a cushion. Refer to the manufacturer’s instruction for proper fill level.
- Ensure the tank is fitted with a device that reduces gravity circulation of air­saturated tank water back into the sys­tem. This device prevents air from bubbling up through the water as it returns from the system.
Failure to inspect the vent system and combustion air inlet piping and have any deficiencies repaired, can result in severe personal injury or death.
Check Primary System
Verify all system components are correctly installed and operating correctly.
Check the cold fill pressure for the system. Typical cold water fill pressure is 12 psig.
Verify the system pressure as the appliance operates at high temperature to ensure the pressure does not exceed 25 psig. Excessive pressure reading indicates expansion tank sizing is incorrect or system performance problems.
Inspect air vent and air separators in the system. Remove the caps on automatic air vents and briefly depress the valve stem to flush vent. Replace the cap when complet­ed. Ensure vents do not leak, replace any leaking vents.
- Ensure no automatic air vents are used in the system. This will allow air to escape from the system instead of returning to the tank.
Diaphragm Tank:
- Ensure the system contains a minimum of one automatic air vent. Preferred location of the air vent should be atop an air eliminator.
- Remove the tank from the system and check the charge pressure. For residen­tial applications the charge pressure is typically 12 psig. If tank does not hold a charge pressure, then the membrane is damaged and the tank should be replaced.

Maintenance Procedures
Check Primary Relief Valve
Inspect the relief valve and lift the lever to verify flow at least annually or as recom­mended on the warning tag of the valve.
WARNING
Before manually operating the pressure relief valve, ensure the discharge piping is directed to a suitable place of disposal to avoid a potential scald hazard. The dis­charge piping must be full size without restriction and installed to permit com­plete drainage of both the valve and line.
If after closing the valve, the valve fails to seat properly or continually weeps, replace the relief valve. Ensure the cause of the relief valve to weep is the valve itself, not due to system over-pressurization caused by an expansion tank that is waterlogged or undersized.
Check Temperature / Pressure Relief Valve
Inspect the T&P relief valve and lift the lever to verify flow at least annually or as recommended on the warning tag of the valve.
WARNING
Inspection of Ignition Electrode
Remove the ignition electrode from the burner mounting plate.
Remove any white oxides accumulated on the electrode using fine grit sandpaper or steel wool. If the electrode does not clean to a satisfactory condition, replace the ignitor.
When replacing the ignition electrode, ensure the gasket is in good condition and correctly positioned. Replace gasket if nec­cessary.
Check All Gaskets
Ensure all gaskets are in good condition, correctly positioned and sealed. Replace gasket(s) if necessary, contact Triangle Tube for replacement part(s).
Check Control Wiring
Inspect all control wiring located behind the control panel and at the burner. Ensure wiring is in good condition and properly connected.
Check Parameter Limit Settings
Check Parameter 1 and 4 for proper settings. Check Parameter 2 and 3 for a “01” setting.
Before manually operating the pressure relief valve ensure the discharge piping is directed to a suitable place of disposal to avoid a potential scald hazard. The dis­charge piping must be full size without restriction and installed to permit com­plete drainage of both the valve and line.
If after closing the valve, the valve fails to seat properly or continually weeps, replace the relief valve. Ensure the cause of the weeping is the valve itself and not due to thermal expansion or a faulty or under­pressurized thermal expansion tank.
Perform Start-up and Checkout Procedures
Start the appliance and perform the start-up procedure as listed in this manual.
Verify the cold water fill pressure is correct and the operating pressure of the primary system is within normal operating range.
Complete the checkout procedures as refer enced in this manual.
