General Information
1A. Introduction
EBP - This appliance is a low pressure, direct
vent, hot water boiler that provides priority domestic
hot water on demand as well as hydronic space heating
system. The unit has a twenty gallon tank which holds
boiler water (and is not domestic water storage).
The boiler water is kept hot at all times to
provide immediate response to call for heat or
domestic water. Domestic water is heated by the boiler
water through a stainless steel plate heat exchanger.
EDP/EDN - This appliance is a low pressure,
direct vent, cold start hot water boiler that provides
heat for hydronic space heating.
Both appliances incorporate a circulating pump
and a bypass loop, and provide circulation for the
heating system and adequate flow for its own needs.
It may be necessary to install a system circulator to
achieve the required flow rate through the system.
Both appliances feature a forced draft, premixed
combustion system. All air for combustion is supplied
with the gas to the burner (flame holder). Both the
intake air and the gas are metered through separate
orifices before entering the combustion air blower.
The blower forces the air/fuel mixture through the
flame holder and into the combustion chamber. The
mixture is ignited from the hot surface ignitor and
burns. Hot gases are forced out between the passes of
the heat exchanger into the flue collector. Flue gases
are discharged into the outside atmosphere through the
vent terminal.
The appliance can operate with a concentric vent
system that will provide outside air for combustion.
Other venting arrangements can be provided for the
appliance to include an alternative 50 equivalent feet
maximum horizontal or condensate trapped vertical
vent.

Venting Options
2A. Direct Vent Kits
When using a direct vent kit, the appliance is a
sealed combustion unit. All of its air is drawn in from
the outside through the 5" outer pipe. Flue gases are
vented through the 3" vent pipe positioned inside the
5" intake pipe. The hot flue gases are surrounded by
the intake flow of cooler outdoor air. This vent system
may be installed through, and be in contact with,
combustible materials. Except for roof vent kit (max 7'
vertical) all venting should pitch away (down) from
unit.
2B. Installing Direct Vent Kits
The direct vent appliance is certified with a
maximum of 15 linear feet (4.6m) of vent pipe and
three sets of elbows. There are two basic vent kits
available, together with various additional elbow and
extension kits if required (see Figures 3 and 4).

must extend to the outside edge of the overhang (see
Figure 6).
2E. Air Source For Combustion
(when not direct vented)
When using Category IV venting methods the
appliance draws all combustion air through its top and
from the adjacent space. When locating the appliance
in unconfined spaces in buildings, infiltration may be
adequate to provide air for combustion and ventilation.
However, in buildings of unusually tight construction,
or when locating the appliance in a confined space,
additional air should be provided and the following
guidelines must be followed.
1.If the space is in a building of unusually tight
construction, air should be obtained from
outdoors, or from spaces which freely connect
with outdoors.
2.For boilers in confined rooms, two permanent
openings shall be provided - one within 12"
(305mm) of the ceiling, and one within 12"
(305mm) of the floor of each room. Each
opening shall be at least one square inch

input, but not be less than 100 square inches
(645.2 sq. cm). These openings shall freely
connect with areas having adequate infiltration
from outside.
3.When all air is provided from outdoors, the
confined space shall be provided with one
opening within 12" of the ceiling. This opening
shall connect directly, or by ducts, with outdoors
or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely connect
with the outdoors, and shall have a minimum free
area of:
a.1 sq. in. per 3000 BTU/hr (7 cm
2
/kw) of the
total input rating of all equipment located
in the enclosure, and
b.Not less than the sum of the areas of all
vent connectors in the confined space.
2F. Connecting Special Gas Vent
to the Appliance
Part number 2400-372 is used with a vent
terminal (p/n 2400-277) to secure the 3 inch special
LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS
gas vent to the flue outlet of the appliance. Heat-Fab
pipe or fittings (p/n 2400-350 or 2400-352) or the male
end of Z-Vent pipe (Z-Vent # 02 SVEPXX030) may
be installed over the flue outlet of the Appliance (see
Figure 10).
2G. Securing Special Gas Vent
Attach p/n 2400-277 with sheet metal screws to
the 5" collar on the appliance with a short piece of 5"
pipe or to the end of the 5" combustion air duct.
Attach p/n 2400-372 bracket and tighten clamp. Form
the tabs on the bracket onto the special gas vent pipe
and secure the tabs with the 3" clamp. After the clamp
has been tightened, fold the end of the tabs down over
the clamp (see Figure 10).
DO NOT use screws in any portion of the 3"
special gas vent.
When providing combustion air from another
location, the connection of the 5" duct to the appliance
must be secured with sheet metal screws.
Each 5" joint in the 5" duct must be secured with
sheet metal screws.
In this type of installation, p/n 2400-372 must be
used to secure the special gas vent at the point where it
exits the duct. The combustion air supply should be
protected from debris entering the duct with an
appliance vent terminal, p/n 2400-277, as shown in
Figure 8 or with a large mesh screen.
Follow the special gas vent manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning and sealing all parts before
assembling.
Apply ¼" bead of silicone sealer (GE108 or
Novagard 400) to the 3" flue outlet of the appliance
approximately 1" from the end.
Slide 3" inner vent pipe or 1-880 adapter, when
using outer 3" telescoping section, over the appliance
flue outlet and push down to stop (do not force pipe
beyond stop).
Apply another bead of silicone around this joint
and smooth out.
Apply ¼" bead of silicone to subsequent 3" joints.
An alternate, nonconcentric combustion air
source may be installed (as shown in Figure 11),
provided that the minimum 4" diameter combustion air
duct does not exceed 15' (4.6m). Termination should
include an air screen and be located in a qualified air
space (see Section 2E) or outside.

Hydronic Heat Piping
4A. Hydronic Piping
The appliance incorporates its own circulating
pump and bypass loop and is capable of providing
flow through heating zones, in addition to what it
needs for itself. Model size 110 is capable of
providing flow for two heating zones (up to 67 feet of
¾" baseboard each), and model 175 is capable of
providing flow for four heating zones (up to 67 feet of
¾" baseboard, each).
EDP/EDN boilers installed in radiant (in floor)
systems and other low mass boilers should be provided
with a buffer/blender tank to assure a controlled
supply temperature, and to prevent short cycling. In
radiant systems utilizing 3-way tempering valves, a
bypass pipe must be installed between supply and
return piping.

4C. Water Quality and Treatment
Water quality control is steadily increasing in
importance in view of the use of modern regulation
technology and the modern boiler designs used in
central heating systems.
The life of a central heating boiler can be
severely curtailed as a result of the formation of scale
deposits and/or corrosion products. The formation of
such deposits should be prevented wherever possible.
Continual water make-up is not permitted.
A suitable water treatment should be used to
prevent excessive scale deposits in the boiler and
corrosion in the system.

6A. Common Vent Test
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the
following steps shall be followed with each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system
placed in operation, while the other appliances
remaining connected to the common venting system
are not in operation.
1.Seal any unused opening in the common venting
system.
2.Visually inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch and determine there is
no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion
and other deficiencies 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 appliance 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 in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust
thermostat so 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, cigar or pipe.
6.After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting
system properly vents, when tested as outlined
above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers and any other gas burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.
7.Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so the installation
conforms with the
a.National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
latest edition.
b.Can / CGA - B149.
When re-sizing any portion of the common
venting system, the common venting system should be

SECTION 7.
Maintenance and Component
Description
7A. Unit Pump
The unit pump operates whenever there is a call
for heat or hot water.
It is a wetted-rotor type pump and should always
be filled with water when it is operating so that it will
cool properly.
If a pump change is required for any reason,
valve off the boiler and drain approximately 1 or 2
gallons (approx. 4-8L) of water from it. Turn off the
main disconnect switch and unplug the pump wires,
remove the pump motor. The pump housing need not
be removed. The replacement pump motor should be
installed in the reverse order from which the old pump
motor was removed. After filling the system be sure
the combustion chamber coil vents through the air vent
located on top of the boiler chamber (inlet manifold
extension).
7B. Gas Valve
The gas valve is a 24VDC solenoid operated,
negative pressure regulated ratio valve. The outlet
pressure may be adjusted as described in the service
section. It is designed to operate with supply pressures
of 4-13 inches w.c. (1.0 to 3.2 kPa). To remove the gas
valve, shut off 120 volt power and the gas shutoff
valve, remove the 4 screws on the upper and lower
flanges and disconnect the wires from the gas valve,
the valve may now be removed. After the valve has
been removed, replace with a new valve in the reverse
order in which the old valve was removed. Turn on gas
shutoff valve and 120 volt power and check boiler
operation and gas tightness of gas valve connections.
7C. Safety Limit Switch
The Safety Limit Switch is an automatic reset
switch with a fixed set point of 230°F (110°C). To
replace the switch, shut off the 120 volt power.
Disconnect the 2 wires from the quick connects at the
switch and remove the switch. To replace, perform the
same operations in reverse. Turn on disconnect switch
and check boiler.
7D. Boiler Control Printed Circuit
Board (PCB)
The Integrated Boiler Control Module controls
the ignition process, the combustion process, the
temperature of the boiler flow and return, and the
transfer tank temperature* and provides both domestic
hot water* and space heating on demand.
To do this it takes inputs from three temperature
sensors, a domestic hot water flow switch, an overheat
thermostat (safety limit) and an external space heating
switch, such as a room thermostat, zone valve end
switches or circulator relay contacts. It then controls
the pump, blower, ignitor and gas valve sequencing.
It constantly displays the boiler outlet
temperature when the appliance is operating in one of
its demand modes. It also allows the user to obtain
information from the appliance to determine the water
temperature at three different locations within the
appliance and to find up to 8 previous faults stored in
memory.
If replacement of PCB is necessary, shut off the
120 volt power and disconnect the wire connectors
from the pcb. Remove the PCB from its location posts.
Page 20
Page 20
LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS
Replace in reverse order ensuring that the connections
are correct.
*EBP combination units only.
7E. Ignitor / Flame Sensor Assembly
The ignitor is a “glow bar” type ceramic
composite device. It is energized whenever there is a
call for heat and switched off when ignition is
established.
The flame sensor is a remote sensing flame rod
which is connected directly to the circuit board “J5”
terminal. The ignitor should read 50 to 100 ohms
resistance when at room temperature.
If the ignitor fails and the assembly must be
replaced, always install a new ignitor gasket with the
replacement assembly.
For sequence of operation, see Section 8,
Servicing.
Caution
Ignitor gets hot.
7F. Transformer
The control transformer accepts 120 VAC line
voltage and provides 80 VA of 24 VAC control
voltage for the boiler control ONLY. It is NOT
capable of supplying control voltage for external
devices such as zone valves, which MUST have their
own separate power supply.
Should the transformer require replacing, shut off
the 120 volt power. Unplug the transformer wires from
the PCB, unscrew the two fixing screws and remove
the transformer.
Fit the replacement transformer in reverse order.
7G. Blower
The combustion air blower is a high pressure
centrifugal blower. It is powered by a 24VDC motor
which is controlled by the PCB. Its speed will be
varied according to the temperature of the boiler flow.
If a blower change is required, turn off the 120
volt power and unplug the wires from the blower
motor. Remove the four nuts from the blower
discharge flange and the four screws that secure the
gas manifold to the gas valve. Remove the complete
assembly. Unscrew the combustion air inlet assembly
and register plate from the fan.
Fit the replacement fan in reverse order, ensuring
that all joints are made correctly and sealed.
After replacement the combustion should be
checked for correct air fuel ratio (see Check, Test and
Start-Up section).
7H. Transfer Tank (EBP)
The transfer tank contains approximately 20
gallons of boiler water. It functions as an energy
storage vessel to reduce boiler cycling on small output
heating zones and to provide additional heat for
domestic hot water through the domestic hot water
(DHW) plate heat exchanger.
If a tank change is necessary, access to the tank
is possible by removing the jacket’s lower front panel.
This is done by removing the screws that hold the
panel at the top and lifting the panel away. Isolate the
appliance and drain down using the drain cock at the
base of the tank. Remove the tank sensor. Undo the
union and the pump flange bolts that connect the tank
to the boiler, unscrew the panel between the upper and
lower compartments, support the upper components
and remove the tank. Installation of the new tank is
done in the reverse order. After installation purge all
air from the boiler before restarting.
7I.Thermostatic Union (EDP/EDN)
The thermostatic union is a 1¼" NPTF union
which must be mounted at the flow outlet to control
boiler temperature. The union must be installed so that
union nut is on the boiler side of the connection. This
insures that the thermostat is properly positioned with
its spring facing up, toward the system. The element
has two small bypass holes that allow some water to
flow into the system at all times. When the boiler first
starts and the element is closed, boiler water is recirculated back to the return until the supply water
reaches 160°F (71°C). The element then modulates
open. If the temperature does not exceed 150°F (66°C)
within two minutes after firing, the element is not
functioning properly. To replace the element, shut off
and drain the section of the system adjacent to the
thermostatic union. Open the union and replace the
element with a new one. The element should be
installed so that its spring and actuator are facing the
system side (up). Close the union, open the valves,
refill and bleed the system. Ensure that air is venting
from the air vent on top of the boiler chamber and it is
left operational. Restart boiler.
7J. Cleaning the Boiler Coil
The Endurance is equipped with a premixed
combustion system. This type of combustion system
does not create free carbon (soot) except in very rare
instances and therefor the combustion chamber coil
will probably never need cleaning. If cleaning is
required, proceed as follows: valve off the boiler,
switch off the electrical power at the disconnect
switch, drain 1-2 gallons (4-8L) of water from the
boiler drain, remove the flue assembly from the top of
the boiler, remove the pump flange bolts from the top
pump flange, disconnect the sensor wires from the
sensors (boiler flow, return and safety limit), undo the
union nut from the boiler flow manifold, and remove
the four (4) screws from the bottom gas valve flange.
The boiler assembly may now be removed from the
jacket. After removal of the boiler assembly from the
Page 21
Endurance
Page 21
jacket, remove the four (4) long screws that secure the
top and bottom pans. Remove the air vent and the top
pan. Remove the insulation retainer and the coil cover
insulation. Clean the boiler coil with a wire brush and
vacuum debris from the combustion chamber (avoid
hitting the ignitor or the flame sensor with the brush
or vacuum hose because they are fragile).
After cleaning, assemble the parts in the reverse
order, open isolation valves and bleed air from the
boiler and the system. Follow the lighting instructions
and start the boiler. Check operation.
SECTION 8
Servicing.
8A. Sequence of Operation
Figures 22 and 23 depict the flow paths and
temperature sensor locations for the space heating,
EDP/EDN, and the combined space heating and
domestic water heating, EBP, appliances.
The model EDP/EDN modulating boilers are
cold start boilers that will start only on a call for heat
from a room thermostat or zone control contact.
During normal operation the Message Center [MC]
LED display will indicate ‘ON’ while awaiting a call
for heat. On a call for heat the following sequence
will occur.
1.(a) The internal pump will start.
(b) After 5 seconds the blower prepurge cycle
will start and operate for approximately 6
seconds while the [MC] indicates alternately
and the current boiler outlet temperature.
2.Following the prepurge cycle the ignitor will
heat for 10 seconds while the blower continues
to operate.
3.The gas valve will then be energized (green
‘GV’ LED located on the PCB next to the
display will light) and open, gas will flow and
ignition will occur.
Figure 27. EDP/EDN Flow Schematic.
Figure 28. EBP Flow Schematic.
Page 22
Page 22
LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS
4.10 seconds after establishing combustion and
proof of flame ( via the flame rod signal to
ground ), the ignitor will be de-energized and
the burner will modulate to high fire for
maximum output.
5.The [MC] should indicate a rapid rise in
temperature to 150º F (1-2 min. duration).
During this period the thermostatic union at the
flow outlet is closed and the boiler is operating
in the internal recirculation mode. [Service note:
If the temperature rise is not rapid the union
thermostat may be defective and must be
replaced].
6.At 150° F the thermostat will allow increased
flow to the system and a gradual rise in
temperature will be indicated until the
temperature approaches the setpoint temperature
of 180ºF. The firing rate will start to modulate
downward until its cutoff limit is reached or the
call for heat is satisfied.
The EBP modulating combination boiler will
start from any of three input signals: (a)T-T closure
for space heating. (b)A demand for domestic hot
water, signaled by water flow activation of the water
flow switch. (c)A call for heat from the minimum
tank temperature sensor at 158°F (tank charge mode).
In tank charge mode the red LED located below the
green LED on the PCB will be lit. In modes (b) and
(c) which are priority modes, the internal anticondensing valve will be closed. On a T-T call for
heat the valve will remain closed until the priority
modes are satisfied.
[Service note: as with the thermostatic union in
the EDP/EDN models, the anti-condensing valve
prevents condensation on the combustion chamber
coil and must be in the closed position when the coil
inlet (F6) indicates a temperature below 130°F].
8B. Trouble Shooting - Fault Codes
The Endurance boiler is controlled by a Pactrol
integrated boiler control (PCB) which provides eight
fault codes with eight memories. To obtain fault
messages press-in on the message center fault button
until the first fault code (FLI) is displayed.
If a thermistor error occurs, it will appear on the
LED upon power-up. The memory does not need to
be accessed. Memory fault codes are for error
history only. All thermistor faults will show as “F”
codes on the LED, and will never cause the LED to
read “LO”. (Note that the unit is shipped with error
codes already in memory, and an error code that is
shown in memory upon start-up of a new unit is from
manufacturing testing.)
The last recorded fault will appear e.g. F-4 (flow
thermister faulty - open or shorted). The control will
then sequence through all eight memories, indicating
alternately the fault number and the fault code (FL1,
F-?; FL2, F=?; …, FL8, F=?). The fault number in
fault code FL1 is the most recent fault.
8B-1. Fault Code Identification
The following eight fault codes may be observed:
F-Error corrected, control in auto reset time
period (10 seconds)
F-0 No fault has occurred
F-1 Error occurred reading fault logic of main
control
F-2 Over heat thermostat has operated
(open circuit)
F-3 Fan fault
F-4 Flow temperature sensor faulty
(open or short circuited)
F-5 Tank temperature sensor faulty
(open or short circuited) (Combi unit only)
F-6 Return temperature sensor faulty
(open or short circuited)
8B-2. Fault Correction (see also Fault
Trees in this Section)
F-1 Switch off boiler and restart. If F-1 repeats,
replace PCB
F-2 The overheat thermostat (safety limit)
opens at 230°F. Observe boiler operation if
the boiler shuts off before the
indicates 225°F (107°C) replace safety
limit. If the temperature rises rapidly and
the safety limit operates, the internal pump
is not operating. Refer to the wiring
diagrams and check for voltage (120V)
across the terminals on the PCB marked PMP.
a.If there is no voltage, and the PCB
display does not indicate on or off,
replace PCB
b.If there is voltage, the pump or wiring
is defective.
F-3 Attempt to start the boiler. Check
combustion air blower operation. If F-3 is
indicated again, replace blower.
F-4 Check for damaged wiring or poor
connection at sensor plug. If they are OK
disconnect the sensor plug and check the
resistance across the sensor terminals. The
resistance of a good sensor is 10,000 ohms
@ 77°F (25°C). Replace sensor if
resistance is less than 500 or more than
20,000 ohms.

There are many causes for lockouts. The five

(2) poor flame sensor signal, (3) inadequate gas
supply, (4) ignitor failure, (5) blocked or
contaminated air source.
1.Poor Combustion: Poor combustion should be
suspected if there is a strong flue gas odor. The
odor may result from either an improper gas/air
ration (high or low CO
2) or contamination of the
combustion air supply. If an improper gas/air
ratio is suspected refer to “gas valve calibration
(offset adjustment)” on page 25. If
contamination of the air source is suspected refer
to (5) below.
2.Poor flame sensor signal: The boiler control
board will lockout if the flame sensor is
grounded or if the flame signal it receives is less
than 1 mA dc. To check for a grounded sensor,
remove the flame sensor wire (yellow) from the
boiler control board and check for continuity
between the yellow wire terminal and the
combustion chamber bottom pan. If there is
continuity, the flame sensor is grounded. An
alternate way to check for grounding of the
flame sensor is to check the ohms resistance
between the yellow wire terminal and the
combustion chamber bottom pan, using a meter
set for at least 100,000 ohms. The resistance
must be more than 250,000 ohms (some
technicians have been confused by meters which
report infinite resistance with what appears to
them as double zeros; an infinite resistance
reading means there is no grounding of the flame
sensor.) If there is continuity, or the ohms
resistance is less than 250,000 ohms, debris or
moisture in the combustion chamber may be the
cause. To correct, carefully remove the ignitor
and flame sensor assembly. Look for debris on
the assembly where the flame rod exits the
ceramic tube. If debris exists, remove it. If this
area is clean, insert a pencil or other round
object into the flame sensor hole in the bottom
combustion chamber pan and roll it around to
clear any debris that may exist inside the
combustion chamber. Replace the ignitor/flame
sensor assembly, reconnect the yellow wire on
the PCB and start the boiler. If lockout persists,
check the flame signal. To check the flame
signal, disconnect the yellow wire from the
flame sensor, connect a meter, set for microamps
(mA) DC, between the flame sensor connector
and the yellow wire connector. Start the boiler. If
the meter reading is less than 1.00 mA DC, see
(3) “poor combustion” below. (Check for air
leaks at air inlet to blower.)
3.Inadequate gas supply: Before proceeding,
ensure that the gas supply has not been shutoff
or the LP tank (LP boilers) is not empty. Then,
reset the boiler and observe the operational

observe the offset pressure at startup and after 20
seconds. The pressure will be ~ -2 in. w.c. at
startup (during prepurge) and should become
less negative (-0.1 in. w.c.) when the gas valve
opens and gas flow starts. If the pressure remains
at ~ -2 in. w.c. throughout the cycle replace the
gas valve.
4.Ignitor failure: If the boiler goes through a
normal start cycle but combustion does not
occur, ignitor failure should be suspected.
Check the ignitor by unplugging the ignitor plug
and measuring the ignitor resistance. It should be
50-100 (W) ohms. If the resistance is not 50-100
ohms (W), replace the ignitor. If the resistance is
correct, reset the boiler and check for 120 VAC
at the ignitor plug during the start cycle. If there
is no voltage, replace the PCB or faulty ignitor
wires.
5.Blocked or contaminated air source: Before
proceeding, ensure that the vent terminal (Direct
Vent installations) or the air inlet (Category IV
installations) is not obstructed. In general, only
direct vent installations have the potential for
cross contamination (flue products entering the
combustion air stream) of the combustion air
source. This may be caused by leaky joints in the
3" flue pipe located inside the 5" combustion air
pipe. If this is suspected, remove the front panel
from the appliance, reset the boiler and allow it
to go through a normal cycle. If during this cycle
there is no flue odor, repair the leaky joints in
the flue pipe.
SECTION 9.
Gas Valve Calibration
9A. Gas Valve Calibration
(offset adjustment)
If poor combustion is suspected because of a
strong exhaust smell, pulsation in the exhaust, or
nuisance flame failure lockouts (shown as “LO” on
LED), the gas valve offset pressure and exhaust CO
should be checked and adjusted, if required. A
magnehelic pressure gauge (with 0.1 in. w.c.
divisions) and a CO
2 tester are required for this
adjustment.
Note: Direct vent installations may experience
poor combustion that results from cross contamination
of the combustion air source. Check for cross
contamination before attempting offset pressure
adjustment (see Section 8B-3.5).
CO
2 sampling may be taken at the exhaust
terminal or at the sample port on the 3” exhaust
located inside the front panel top cover. See Figure 28
for the location of the offset pressure port and offset
adjustment.

The CO
2 values shown in Table 4 should be
achieved when the unit is in high fire. To manually fix
the unit in high fire, locate the four-pin connector on
the bottom left of the control board, and jumper the
middle two terminals together (see Figure 29). NOTE:
For EBP (combination heat & hot water) units, when
the unit is in “tank charge” mode it will stay in high
fire, whether manually jumpered or not.
Note: During the prepurge cycle, the gauge will
indicate several in. W.C. negative pressure.
Adjust the CO
2 and/or offset pressure to the
values shown in Table 4.
When adjusting the offset pressure, the CO
2 will
reduce as the offset pressure is adjusted more
negative. FINAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE
OFFSET PRESSURE MUST ALWAYS RESULT
IN A NEGATIVE PRESSURE UPON
COMPLETION.
SECTION 10.
Symptom Evaluations
10A. Delayed ignition
Possible Causes
a.High lockup pressure (LP boilers) - occurs on
start-up.
b.Gas valve regulation problem - occurs on start-up.
c.Incorrect gas orifice (Natural gas orifice in an LP
boiler) - occurs on start up
d.Defective burner - occurs on startup or at burner
shutdown.
High lock up pressure is the most common cause
of delayed ignitions on LP fueled boilers. It may result
from an improper second stage regulator selection or
from a faulty regulator.
Lock up can be detected by measuring the gas
supply pressure to the boiler at the inlet pressure tap
on the gas valve. The gas supply to the boiler must be
shut off before making this connection. Use a water
manometer or pressure gauge with a scale reading of
at least 25 in. w. c. or 15 oz/in
the gas valve pressure port one full turn and install a
hose from the pressure gauge over the pressure port.
Turn on the gas supply. The ENDURANCE boiler is
designed to operate with supply pressures of 4-13 in.
w. c. (2.3 - 7.5 oz/ in²). If the supply pressure exceeds
13 in. w. c. (7.5 oz/ in²) with the boiler not operating it
is possible that this may be the cause of delayed
ignitions and the pressure must be reset to ~ 9 in. w. c.
(5.2 oz/ in2). Restart the boiler and then switch it off
again. Lock up pressures
boiler is not operating and preferably immediately
after boiler shutdown. If the gas pressure again
exceeds the allowable values, correct the lock up
problem.

Gas valve regulation problems can also cause
delayed ignitions. See “Gas valve calibration”.
Incorrect gas orifice – Check orifice size.
A defective burner can cause a delayed ignition
during operation or at shutdown. If the gas supply
pressure is proper the gas valve is functioning
properly and the gas orifice is correct, the burner
should be inspected. To inspect it, remove the
blower. The burner is retained by the blower and it
will drop out of the bottom of the chamber when the
blower is removed. There should be
no distortion or
perforations in the burner other than the punched
holes. Replace if indicated.
10B. Short Cycling
Possible causes
a.Reduced system flow - EDP
b.Thermostatic union (EDP) or anti-condensing
valve not opening (EBP).
c.T-T wires cross connected (jumped) –
improper
installation - EBP or EDP/EDN
d.Leakage of flue products into the combustion air
stream – Direct Vent Installations only, see
Section 8B-3, Resolving Lockouts (LO), item (5).
10C. Noisy Operation
There are two principal sources of noisy
operation:
a.Combustion - high pitched noise - whistle or
hoot.
b.Boiling (kettling) - lower frequency noise which
varies with temperature - moan.
Many times it is difficult to determine the source
of the noise or if it is combustion related or boiling
related. Combustion noises always have the same
frequency; however, their volume may change from
the time that the burner first fires to the time that it
shuts off. A boiling noise is identified by rapidly
raising or lowering the system water pressure while
the noise is present. A change in the pitch or intensity
of the noise indicates a boiling problem.
Combustion noise occurs at any boiler
discharge temperature and is heard the loudest at the
flue outlet (especially on units that are sidewall
vented). There are two basic causes for the noise, rich
mixture (high CO
The mixture is determined by measuring the percent
O
2 or CO2 in the flue products. O2 readings lower than
4½ % or CO
and 10.8% (LP) will often cause combustion related
noise. The rich mixture could be caused by the miscalibration of the gas valve (offset adjustment) or by
the gas orifice size. To eliminate the noise; first, check
the gas valve calibration. If it is correct, install a
smaller gas orifice so that the O
or the CO
2 will drop to 8½% (natural) or 9½% (LP).
2 or low O2) or cross contamination.
2 readings higher than 9¼ % (natural gas)
2 will rise above 4½%
The CO
2 & O2 readings may be influenced by
cross contamination. Suspect cross contamination if
the noise returns when the front panel is replaced.
Boiling (kettling) may occur at boiler discharge
temperatures from 170°F to 210°F. The temperature
at which it starts will vary from one installation to
another. The primary cause of the problem is poor
heat transfer on the inside of the boiler coil. This may
be caused by foaming due to excessive concentration
of antifreeze in the system or by scaling from the
boiler water due to hardness of make up water.
Plumbing antifreezes should never be used in a
boiler system. Only boiler antifreezes, with effective
antifoamants, are appropriate for the ENDURANCE
boilers.
Note: The concentration of appropriate
antifreeze should be always be kept as low as possible
to minimize its effect on heat transfer and efficiency.
The method for eliminating the boiling noise is
the same regardless of the cause. However, if
antifreeze in the system is suspected of being the
cause, the concentration (<35%) and type should be
investigated.
Moisture
Although it is not a primary cause of lockouts,
moisture in the combustion chamber may cause
lockouts by weakening the flame signal to the boiler
control. It should be suspected if the boiler
temperature does not rise above 160°F during long
periods of operation. This condition can be caused by
a defective thermostat in the thermostatic union of
EDN or EDP boilers (or the omission of the
thermostatic union at installation) or failure of the
anticondensing valve in the EBP (combi) boilers.
Moisture can also get into the combustion chamber
through an incorrectly pitched or incorrectly installed
flue pipe (pitched back toward the boiler without a
condensate trap). The flue assembly of EBP, EDN and
EDP boilers installed as Direct Vent boilers should
always pitch down from the boiler.
10D. Insufficient Hot Water (EBP only)
Possible cause:
a.No flow restrictor (supplied with unit - field
installed)
b.Water flow switch failure
c.Mixing valve setting or failure
d.Domestic hot water (DHW) heat exchanger
contamination
The most common cause for insufficient hot
water complaints results from failure to install a flow
restrictor. The absence of a flow restrictor allows
water to pass through the heat exchanger at a greater
rate than the boiler output is capable of heating to the
desired temperature.
Failure of the water flow switch to operate
during a hot water draw prevents boiler water from
Page 33
Endurance
Page 33
flowing through the DHW heat exchanger and
therefor the DHW will not be heated.
To test the switch, place a temporary jumper
across the back of the connector on the PCB (see
wiring diagrams for connector location). If the internal
pump operates and there is DHW generated then the
water flow switch is faulty and must be replaced.
Note: Switch orientation is critical for proper switch
operation, The identification plate on the switch must
face up and the arrow on the plate must point in the
direction of flow.
Failure of the mixing valve will allow cold water
to be mixed with the hot water from the DHW heat
exchanger during a DHW draw regardless of the
setting of the mixing valve or the temperature of the
water leaving the DHW heat exchanger. The failure
can be detected by observing the temperature of the
three pipes connected to the mixing valve. If the
“mix” temperature is luke warm or cool and the “hot”
temperature is hot and the “cold” temperature is cold
then the mixing valve is either faulty or incorrectly
adjusted and must be replaced or adjusted.
DHW heat exchanger scaling may occur in some
areas of the country where there are high
concentrations of minerals in the water. These
minerals may cause fouling of the DHW heat
exchanger over an extended period of time (lime build
up). Other minerals, which react more quickly in well
systems (mostly magnesium), cause slime on the
inside of the heat exchanger and prevent adequate heat
transfer. These minerals must be filtered out by a
special incoming water filter or by the addition of an
inhibitor to protect the coil and provide acceptable
water quality. Minerals may be removed when
necessary by flushing the coil with a cleaner such as
“Unlime®” or “Sizzle®”.
10E. High Gas Consumption
Boilers operating with an improper air/fuel ratio
are very inefficient and consequently, have very high
gas consumption. Because efficiency is high when the
CO
2 is high, boilers operating with low CO2
(especially LP boilers) consume more gas. Adjust the
CO
2 or O2 for optimum efficiency. If no combustion
analyzing equipment (CO
proper adjustment of the air/fuel ratio (CO
be accomplished. However, by briefly sniffing the flue
gases it is possible to determine if the CO
within the proper range. There is no significant flue
gas odor when combustion is proper. A strong
piercing smell indicates poor combustion and
generally a lean mixture (low CO
calibration (offset adjustment) and adjust if indicated.
Do not attempt to correct combustion by reorificing
without an O
