Start Up Instructions; Factory Test Report (Ftr) - Ace Heating Solutions Atlas A050 Operating And Maintenance Manual

6 Start Up Instructions

Your unit has been pressure tested in accordance with ASME CODE SECTION IV and fire tested in accordance with UL
795. A copy of the factory test report is included inside the unit behind the display panel, and a test report label is located
on the inside of the top lid.
It is required that the boiler and the system into which it is installed be tested before operating the system. The exact
natures of the tests are listed on the start-up fire test report located in the back of this manual. This start-up fire test
report must be filled out and a copy must be sent to Ace Heating Solutions, LLC in the pre-addressed envelope
provided with the unit in order to register the unit for the warranty. The description of each of the tests to be
completed begins on the next page. This testing should be completed as part of the normal installation procedure by the
installing company.
Once the entire installation is complete, the unit should have an operation test to ensure that the ignition system safety
shut off device works properly. Instructions in the manufacturer's literature shall be followed in conducting this test.
Boilers are pre-wired at the factory, in accordance to the wiring diagram supplied with the unit. If additional controls are to
be installed, care should be taken not to disturb the continuity of the existing circuit. Refer to the boiler wiring diagram and
control manufacturer's instructions supplied with the boiler.
The boiler and the entire system should be cleaned and flushed prior to filling. After cleaning, fill the system. To prevent
trapped air in the boiler tubing, open the relief valve located on the water outlet of the boiler and leave it open until a
steady flow of water is observed. Once this is done, close the relief valve and complete the filling of the system.
The lighting instructions and the wiring diagram for the control system furnished with each boiler are attached to these
installation and service instructions. After placing the boiler in operation, the ignition system safety shutoff device must be
tested.
Although the boiler (coil) pressure vessel and the gas train are pressure tested prior to shipping, often times during
shipment, items have a tendency to work loose. These items may include relief valves and gas train assemblies. These
items should be checked prior to operating the boiler and tightened. All Atlas units are factory fire tested and adjusted.
The Factory Test Report (FTR) is sent with each unit and must be used when starting the installed unit. Like Forced Draft
burners, all Pre-Mix burners must be tested and adjusted, as necessary, to the factory settings.
Prior to Start-Up, check to make sure all the installation procedures have been followed as outlined in this manual. This
includes compliance with all local and state codes as well as the manufacturer's requirements.
