WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property dam-
age, personal injury or loss of life. Refer to the user's information manual provided with this boiler. Installation
and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
·
Do not try to light any appliance.

  • Page 1: Installation Instructions

    WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property dam- age, personal injury or loss of life. Refer to the user’s information manual provided with this boiler. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
  • Page 2 Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

  • Page 5 ASME part not manufactured and/or approved by RAYPAK will instantly void the ASME, and agency listings and any RAYPAK warranty on the vessel. Altering the ASME, agency ratings of the vessel also violates national, state, and local approval codes. The terms "boiler" and "heater" are used interchangeably in this manual.

  • Page 7 EQUIPMENT BASE The boiler should be mounted on a level, structurally sound surface. The boiler is approved for and can be installed on a combustible surface but must NEVER be installed on carpeting. Gas fueled equipment installed in enclosed parking garages must be located at least 18 inches above the floor.

  • Page 10 In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freeze-up, Raypak highly recommends the installation of a motorized sealed damper to prevent the circulation of cold air through the boiler during the non-operating hours.
  • Page 11 1. Ventilation of the space occupied by the boiler shall be provided by an opening(s) for ventilation air at the highest practical point communicating with outdoors. The total cross-sectional area of such an opening(s) shall be at least 10% of the area required in (2) and (3), but in no case shall the cross-sectional area be less than 10 square inches (6500 square mm).
  • Page 12 Do not pipe to any area where freezing could occur. Refer to local codes. HYDROSTATIC TEST Unlike many other types of boilers, Raypak boilers do not require hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in operation. The heat exchanger has already been factory-tested and is rated for 150 PSI operating pressure. However, Raypak does recommend hydrostatically testing the piping connections to the boiler and the rest of the system prior to operation.
  • Page 13 SECTION E: HYDRONIC HEATING PIPING PUMP SELECTION In order to insure proper performance of your boiler system, you must install a properly sized pump. Raypak recommends Delta Delta Delta using a 20°F T as design T. ( T is the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water when the Delta boiler is firing at full rate).
  • Page 14 Valves designed to blend water temperatures or reduce water circulation through the boiler should not be used. Raypak heaters are high recovery low mass heaters not subject to thermal shock. Raypak offers a full line of electric sequencers that produce direct reset of boiler water temperature. Refer to the Controls Section in our Complete Catalog.

  • Page 19 SECTION G: POOL HEATING CAUTION: Power to the heater should be interlocked with the main system pump to make sure the heater does not fire without the main system pump in operation. Improper flow control can damage the heater. Uncontrolled flow (too high) or restricted flow (too low) can seriously affect heater operation.
  • Page 20 If the pH drops below 7.2, the heater will be severely damaged. NOTE: Heat exchanger damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered under the warranty. Figure G-1a SINGLE BOILER - POOL APPLICATION Figure G-2b SINGLE BOILER - POOL APPLICATION WITH CHX...

  • Page 22 Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the boiler gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve located outside the heater jacket. A pounds to inches regulator must be installed to reduce to gas supply pressure to under 14" W.C. The regulator should be placed a minimum distance of 10 times the pipe diameter upstream of the boiler gas controls.
  • Page 23 GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR The gas pressure regulator is nominally preset to the outlet values shown in the table below, within +. 1" W.C. If an adjustment is needed, turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to lower pressure. REGULATOR PRESSURE SETTINGS: See Tables O-2 and O-3 for Pressure Settings.
  • Page 24 All sensitive control components should be protected by a suitable commercial-grade surge protection device. If any of the original wire as supplied with the boiler must be replaced, it must be replaced with 105°C wire or its equivalent.
  • Page 25 Verify circuit breaker is properly sized by referring to boiler rating plate. A dedicated motor duty circuit breaker should be provided. Turn off all power to the boiler. Verify that power has been turned off by testing with a volt-ohm meter prior to working with any electrical connections or components.

  • Page 27 SECTION J: VENTING CONNECTIONS GENERAL CAUTION: Proper installation of flue exhaust venting is critical for the safe and efficient operation of the boiler. For vent systems not shown in this section please contact your local authorized representative. Definition of Appliance Categories Boilers are divided into four categories based on the pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of condensate production in the vent.
  • Page 28 NOTE: PVC or CPVC vent maybe used inconjunction with CHX, special piping arrangement has to be made. Contact manufacturer for details.
  • Page 29 Support of Vent Stack The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on the boiler vent connection. Support must be provided in compliance with applicable codes. The vent should also be supported to maintain proper clearances from combustible materials.

The horizontal portions of the vent shall also be supported for the design and weight of the material employed to maintain clearances and to prevent physical damage or separation of joints.
  • Page 33 Common venting systems may be too large when an existing unit is removed. At the time of removal of an existing appliance, the following steps must be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.

    The Central Point Wiring (CPW) board serves as the central tie point for connecting all other control components in the boiler. The CPW board provides boiler operating status and fault indication using eight LEDs which function as described in Table L-1...
  • Page 51 The CPW board has a built-in pump driver with pump turn-off delay, which allows the operator to set how long the pump will run after the boiler shuts off. The delay is factory-set for 7 minutes but can be field-adjusted from 3 minutes to 10 minutes.
  • Page 52 The U-2 safety board is the central point for wiring, operations monitoring, and fault indication for the boiler safeties. By having each safety report directly to the U-2 board, each safety function can be individually monitored. The U-2 adds complete diagnostics features that aid in the rapid diagno- sis of irregularities in boiler operation.

    TIME/TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN SCALDS The temperature of the water in the hot water boiler can be regulated by setting the temperature dial on front of the thermostat. To comply with safety regulations the thermostat was set at its lowest setting before the hot water boiler was shipped from the factory.
