FORWARD Foreword The AERCO Benchmark 2.0 Low NOx (LN) Boiler is a modulating unit. It represents a true industry advance that meets the needs of today's energy and environmental concerns. Designed for application in any closed loop hydronic system, the Benchmark's modulating capability relates energy input directly to fluctuating system loads.

In addition to all the requirements included in this AERCO Instruction Manual, the installation of units MUST conform with local building codes, or, in the absence of local codes, ANSI Z223.1 (National Fuel Gas Code Publication No. NFPA-54).
Chapter 6 of this manual be performed, to verify all system- operating parameters. If there is an emergency, turn off the electrical power supply to the AERCO boiler and close the manual gas valve located upstream the unit. The installer must identify the emergency shut-off device.

This Chapter provides the descriptions and procedures necessary to unpack, inspect and install the AERCO Benchmark 2.0LN Boiler. Brief descriptions are also provided for each available mode of operation. Detailed procedures for implementing these modes are provided in Chapter 5.
The unit must be installed with the prescribed clearances for service as shown in Figure 2-1. The minimum clearance dimensions, required by AERCO, are listed below. However, if Local Building Codes require additional clearances, these codes shall supersede AERCO’s requirements.
When using the AERCO Condensate Neutralizer Tank for proper condensate drainage, the Neutralizer Tank must be stored in a pit, OR the boiler and AERCO Condensate Trap must be elevated higher than 4” above the floor. See Condensate Tank instructions in TID-0074 for details.
The physical location of the supply and return piping connections are on the rear of the unit as shown in Figure 2-3. Refer to Appendix F, Drawing AP-A-798 for additional dimensional data. AERCO International, Inc. • 100 Oritani Dr. • Blauvelt, NY 10913 Page 18 of 168 OMM-0046_0J...
The procedure to install and connect the condensate drain is provided in paragraph 2.6.1. AERCO International, Inc. • 100 Oritani Dr. • Blauvelt, NY 10913 OMM-0046_0J Page 19 of 168 Ph.: 800-526-0288...
The condensate trap must be supported to ensure that its base is level (horizontal). • The trap must be removable for routine maintenance. AERCO recommends that a union be utilized between the exhaust manifold condensate drain port and the trap inlet port.
CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLATION Figure 2-5: Condensate Trap Installation 2.7 GAS SUPPLY PIPING The AERCO Benchmark 2.0LN Gas Components and Supply Design Guide, GF-2030 must be consulted prior to designing or installing any gas supply piping. WARNING NEVER USE MATCHES, CANDLES, FLAMES OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Figure 2-7: AC Input Terminal Block Location 2.8.1 Electrical Power Requirements The AERCO Benchmark 2.0LN Boiler accepts 120 VAC, single-phase, 60 Hz @ 20A. The Power Box contains a terminal block as shown in Figure 2-8. In addition, a wiring diagram showing the required AC power connections is provided on the front cover of the Power Box.
National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Part I, CSA C22.1 Electrical Code. For electrical power wiring diagrams, see the AERCO Benchmark 2.0LN Electrical Power Wiring Guide, (GF-2060LN). 120 VAC, 1 PHASE Figure 2-8: AC Terminal Block Configurations 2.9 MODES OF OPERATION AND FIELD CONTROL WIRING...
Control System (ACS) can utilize only RS485 signaling to the Boiler. When using an AERCO BMS, BMS II, or ACS (AERCO Control System), the field wiring is connected between the BMS/BMS II/ACS Panel and each Boiler’s I/O Box terminal strip (Figure 2- 10).
NOTE DO NOT make any connections to the I/O Box terminals labeled “NOT USED”. Attempting to do so may cause equipment damage. AERCO International, Inc. • 100 Oritani Dr. • Blauvelt, NY 10913 Page 26 of 168 OMM-0046_0J 06/18/2015...
Operating Menu. The sensor must be wired to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the AIR TEMP. SENSOR and must be similar to AERCO BALCO wire sensor Part No. 12449. A resistance chart for this sensor is provided in Appendix C.
2.10.10 Exhaust Switch In (11) These terminals permit an external exhaust switch to be connected to the exhaust manifold of the boiler. The exhaust switch should be a normally open type switch (such as AERCO Part No. 123463) that closes (trips) at 500°F.
U/L listed, positive pressure, watertight vent materials as specified in AERCO’s GF-2050, must be used for safety and code compliance. Since the unit is capable of discharging low temperature exhaust gases, horizontal sections of the flue vent system must be pitched back to the unit a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot to avoid condensate pooling and allow for proper drainage.
The AERCO Benchmark 2.0LN Boiler is UL listed for 100% sealed combustion. It can also be installed using room air, provided there is an adequate supply. (See para. 2.13.3 for more information concerning sealed combustion air).
In order to implement this option, you must remove the internal flex hose between the air inlet iris and the air/fuel valve and install an air filter (AERCO part number 59138) on the air/fuel valve’s inlet, as shown in the right-hand image in Figure 2-11.
Benchmark 2.0 LN Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLATION AERCO recommends that the temporary air filter be cut from a McMaster-Carr part no. 2122K315 Polyester Air Filter Roll Tackfield, ½” thick, 16” wide, or equivalent. Cover the Benchmark 2.0LN air inlet with the blue side of the filter material facing outward to hold the dust on the outside surface.

The BMS mode of operation is used in conjunction with an AERCO Boiler Management System (BMS or BMS II) and the AERCO Control System (ACS). The BMS mode is used when it is desired to operate multiple units in the most efficient manner possible. For this mode of operation, a BMS Header Sensor must be installed between 2 and 10 feet downstream of the LAST boiler in the boiler plant's supply water header.
5.6.2 BMS Setup and Startup This mode of operation is factory preset and the AERCO BMS/BMS II/ACS controls the firing rate (air/fuel valve % open position). There are no setup instructions for each individual unit.
These default settings work well in most applications. It is suggested that AERCO be contacted prior to changing settings other than the unit’s setpoint. For a complete listing of temperature related function defaults, see Appendix E.
