FIRED WATER BOILER SERIES Startup Startup (continued from Ultra Boiler Manual) Start the boiler only after completing all instructions in the Ultra Boiler Manual. To start the boiler, follow the procedure given in ure 4, page 8. Once the boiler has started and is operating, continue the startup procedure by performing all of the following steps to set and verify operation of the Ultra controls.
FIRED WATER BOILER SERIES Startup (continued) [2XXX] (ignition) After prepurge, the control module opens the gas valve and starts ignition spark. If burner flame proves within 4.5 seconds, burner con- tinues to fire. Burner will fire at startup rate — 50% of maximum input —...
FIRED WATER BOILER SERIES Startup (continued) FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. A. This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner.

FIRED WATER BOILER SERIES Operating information Ultra Control Module The Ultra boiler is controlled by a microprocessor electronic con- trol — the Ultra Control Module. The module senses outlet water temperature, return water temperature, flue temperature and outdoor temperature (when outdoor sensor is installed). It uses this information (plus input from external limit and operat- ing controls) to regulate boiler on/off operation and can modulate boiler firing rate to more closely match output to demand.
FIRED WATER BOILER SERIES Operating information Outdoor reset operation, if used Setpoint temperature with outdoor reset All Ultra boilers are shipped with an outdoor temperature sensor. When this sensor is installed (low voltage terminal strip termi- nals 1 and 2), the control module regulates target outlet water temperature based on outside temperature.

FIRED WATER BOILER SERIES Troubleshooting VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING (see Ultra Boiler Manual for procedures) Re-install BOILER JACKET FRONT DOOR AFTER SERVICING Re-install boiler jacket front door after servicing. The boiler front door must be securely fastened to the boiler to prevent boiler from drawing air from inside the boiler room.

FIRED WATER BOILER SERIES Troubleshooting Checking temperature sensors The boiler temperature sensors (flue, outdoor, return water and supply water) are all resistance-type devices. The table at right shows the correct value for the sensor at various temperatures. Use the resistance values at 32°F, 60°F, 70°F and 212°F to measure the sensor resistance at known temperatures (ice point, room temperature and sea level boiling point).
