  • Page 12: Gas Piping Multiple Boilers

    III Gas Piping Multiple Boilers It is recommended that the gas piping of each individual boiler be installed as shown in Figure 3.1. When common gas piping is sized, insure it will have adequate capacity for the combined input of the multiple boilers being installed. Additional gas pressure regulators may need to be installed to properly regulate inlet gas pressure at the smallest individual boiler. Follow the instructions in Section VIII of the Phantom 080-180 Installation and Operating Instructions Manual for more detail on gas piping installation and hazards. CAUTION If gas pressure in the building is above 1/2 psig (3.4 kPa), an additional gas pressure regulator is required.

  • Page 17 4) Header sensor P/N 103104-01 must be used in Phantom Multiple boiler applications. Install it in the system piping as shown in Figure 4.2 (also see Fig 4.3 for installation detail). Wire it to the Master boiler as shown in Figure 5.1. Observe the precautions against electrical noise that are described for sensor wiring in Part X of the boiler installation manual. 5) Outdoor Sensor – If used, wire to the Master as shown in Figure 5.1. 6) LWCO and/or external limits – In general, if low water cut-offs and/or external limits are required, separate ones must be provided for each boiler. Consult the authority having jurisdiction. 7) MODBUS Communication Wiring – The Master communicates with the Slaves using the MODBUS connections on the low voltage PCB. The simplest way to make these connections is using Ethernet (PC network) cables. Use the standard “straight through” cables for this and plug them into the Modbus receptacles as shown in Figure 5.1. Alternatively, Modbus connections can also be made using the “A, “B”, and “-V” screws terminals located directly above the Ethernet receptacles. To do this, connect all “A”, “B”, and “-V” terminals together as shown in Figure 5.2.
  • Page 20: Start-Up And Checkout

    VI Start-up and Checkout Refer to Section XI (Start-up and Checkout) in the Phantom 80-180 installation manual. Boilers are started, adjusted, and inspected as individual boilers. They are then configured to operate as a multiple boiler system in Section VII of this manual (Operation). Because the slaves have no thermostats connected to them, it will be necessary to temporarily jump the DHW Thermostat terminals on each slave in order to fire it so that it can be checked out. VII Operation Information in this section supersedes that in Part XII (“Operation”) of the Phantom 80-180 Installation manual. A. General Information This boiler uses the microprocessor based Honeywell R7910B “boiler control” to manage all boiler functions including flame supervision and modulation. Two set point or “target” boiler supply temperatures are stored in the control’s memory; one for space heating (CH) and one for domestic hot water (DHW) production. If an outdoor temperature sensor is connected to the boiler, and enabled, the space heating supply set point will automatically shift downward as the outdoor temperature increases. For more information on this feature see the discussion on boiler water reset below. The control modulates the boiler input by varying the fan speed. As the fan speed increases, so does the amount of gas drawn into the blower. As a result, a fairly constant air-fuel ratio is maintained across all inputs. The control determines the input needed by looking at both current and recent differences between the supply temperature and the set point temperature. As the supply temperature approaches the set point temperature, the fan will slow down and the input will drop. The minimum input is approximately 1/5 of maximum input. This boiler control also monitors boiler return and flue temperatures. In addition, all other safety controls are connected into the R7910B. The R7910B uses inputs from all of these controls to either shut down the boiler when an unsafe condition exists or, in some cases, to correct the problem. Up to 8 Phantoms may be piped and wired together as described earlier in this manual to create a multiple boiler (“Lead-lag”) system. When this is done, one boiler acts as the “Master”. The Master receives demands from loads shared by the boilers and determines firing order and rate for all boilers in the system. The exact manner in which this is done is described in Part F of this section. Finally, the basic boiler control manages up to three pumps: •...

  • Page 25 4) If the system is installed with an indirect water heater which sends a DHW demand directly to the Master boiler, press the DHW button on the Configuration menu to configure the pump and DHW priority operation. If this is a heat only installation, or if the indirect water heater is controlled by an external zoning panel, skip to Step 5. There are three possible DHW configurations. Each of these options is described below and also summarized in Table 7.7. In all three cases, this boiler is intended to accept a DHW demand generated by a thermostat mounted in the indirect water heater, such as a Honeywell L4006A or L4080B, with this device set to the desired potable water temperature. The “DHW target temperature” is therefore the boiler supply temperature required during a call for DHW. WARNING Burn Hazard. Water temperatures over 125°F can cause personal injury or death due to scalding. Children Disabled, and Elderly are at most risk of being scalded.
  • Page 26 DHW Priority – This multiple boiler system is capable of regulating only one target boiler water temperature at any given time. This means that priority must be given to either the CH or DHW target temperature. For this reason, the system gives priority to the DHW demand for the first 60 minutes during which both calls for CH and DHW continuously exist. If there are still simultaneous calls for DHW and CH at the end of this time, the system will attempt to maintain the target CH temperature and operate the pump/s needed to satisfy the call for heat. The system will once again give priority to the DHW temperature when either of the following events occur: • The call for CH ends. • The call for DHW is removed and then restored. Regardless of the DHW option selected, the target water temperature will always change from that for DHW to CH if the simultaneous demand exceeds 60 min.
  • Page 27 5) Pressing the ADVANCED button on the configuration menu takes the user to the Advanced Configuration menu. This menu allows the user to access rarely needed configuration options. These include: FACTORY SET - This button allows the user to restore all factory configuration and setting options. This function can be used to restore all factory settings if a large number of settings are suspect or if the original control is replaced by one that is programed for use on another size Phantom. Pressing this button brings up the screen shown in Figure 7.8. Press the model number button until the desired model number is reached. When the selection is changed, this button will flash. When the desired model is reached, press SET to select it. When this change is accepted by the control, the button will stop flashing. Press EXIT to Return to the Advanced Configuration Menu. If factory settings are restored, the set-up process described in this section must be repeated. ALTITUDE – Allows the boiler to be configured for Altitudes above 2000ft. See Appendix A of the Phantom 80-180 installation manual for additional details. Each boiler in a lead lag system installed above 2000ft must be must be individually configured for the installed altitude. LEAD-LAG – This Menu allows the user to enable or disable the ability of the boiler to operate as part of a multiple boiler (Lead-Lag”) System. See Steps 1 and 2 of this Section for details on the use of this Menu. The Lead Lag menu is not visible if the standard “005” password was entered when the configuration menu was entered.
