SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE FOLLOWED TO PROVIDE SAFE,
EFFICIENT AND TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION. IN ADDITION,
PARTICULAR CARE MUST BE EXERCISED REGARDING
THE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS LISTED BELOW. FAILURE
TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THESE CRITICAL AREAS COULD
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOSS, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR DEATH. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE SUBJECT
TO ANY MORE RESTRICTIVE LOCAL OR NATIONAL CODES.
HAZARD INTENSITY LEVELS
1. DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
2. WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
3. CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury.
4. IMPORTANT: Indicates a situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in a potential safety concern.
DANGER
Appliances must not be installed where they may be exposed
to a potentially explosive or flammable atmosphere.
WARNING
1. This gas fired heating equipment must be vented - do not
operate unvented.
2. A built-in power exhauster is provided - additional external
power exhausters are not required or permitted.
3. If you are replacing an existing heater, it may be
necessary to resize the venting systems. Improperly
sized venting systems can result in vent gas leakage or
the formation of condensate. Refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or CSA B149.1 latest edition.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or
death.
4. Under no circumstances should two sections of double
wall vent pipe be joined together within one horizontal
vent system due to the inability to verify complete seal of
inner pipes.
5. All field gas piping must be pressure/leak tested prior to
operation. Never use an open flame. Use a soap solution or
equivalent for testing.
6. Gas pressure to appliance controls must never exceed 14"
W.C. (1/2 psi).
7. Disconnect power supply before making wiring connections
to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.
8. All appliances must be wired strictly in accordance with
wiring diagram furnished with the appliance. Any wiring
different from the wiring diagram could result in a hazard
to persons and property.
9. Any original factory wiring that requires replacement must
be replaced with wiring material having a temperature
rating of at least 105°C.
10. To reduce the opportunity for condensation, the minimum
sea level input to the appliance, as indicated on the serial
plate, must not be less than 5% below the rated input, or
5% below the minimum rated input of dual rated units.
11. Ensure that the supply voltage to the appliance, as
indicated on the serial plate, is not 5% greater than the
rated voltage.
12. When servicing or repairing this equipment, use only
factory-approved service replacement parts. A complete
replacement parts list may be obtained by contacting
Modine Manufacturing Company. Refer to the rating plate
on the appliance for complete appliance model number,
serial number, and company address. Any substitution of
parts or controls not approved by the factory will be at the
owner's risk.
2
1. Installation must conform with local building codes or in the
absence of local codes, with Part 7, Venting of Equipment,
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) -
latest edition. In Canada installation must be in accordance
with CSA B149.1.
2. Purging of air from gas supply line should be performed as
described in ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition "National Fuel
Gas Code", or in Canada in CAN/CGA-B149 codes.
3. Do not attempt to reuse any mechanical or electrical
controller which has been wet. Replace defective controller.
4. Ensure that the supply voltage to the appliance is not 5%
less than the rated voltage.
IMPORTANT
1. To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, do not locate
NY gas-fired appliances in areas where corrosive vapors
(i.e. chlorinated, halogenated or acid) are present in the
atmosphere.
2. To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, the input to
the appliance, as indicated on the serial plate, must not
exceed the rated input by more than 5%.
3. To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, observe heat
exchanger tubes by looking at the heat exchanger through
field installed access openings in connecting ductwork.
If the tubes become red while blower and duct furnace are
in operation, additional baffles must be inserted between
blower and duct furnace to assure uniform air flow across
the heat exchanger.
4. To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, with all control
systems, a blower starting mechanism must be provided so
that the blower is running or energized within 45 seconds of
the gas control operation.
5. Start-up and adjustment procedures should be performed by
a qualified service agency.
6. To check most of the Possible Remedies in the
troubleshooting guide listed in Table 24.1, refer to the
applicable sections of the manual.
