XII. System Start-up
1. Verify that the venting, water piping, gas piping

and electrical system are installed propertly.
Refer to installation instructions contained in
this manual.
2. Confirm all electrical, water and gas supplies
are turned off at the source and that venting
is clear of obstructions.
3. Flush the system to remove sediment, flux
and traces of boiler additives. This must be
done with the boiler isolated from the system.
Fill heating system with water meeting the
following requirements:
a. Water pH level between 7.5-9.5, if system
contains aluminum components, pH must
be less than 8.5
b. Chlorides < 50 ppm
c. Total dissolved solids less than 350 ppm
d. Water hardness 3-9 gpg
4. Pressurize the hydronic system. Fill entire
heating system with water and vent air from
the system.
a. Maintain 15 psi boiler loop pressure.
5. Power the boiler. Turn on the electrical supply
to the boiler and circulator system at fuse
disconnect switch.
6.
Power the circulator(s). Turn system
circulators on and purge air from the system.
7. Pressurize the fuel line.
a. Open the manual gas shut-off valves located
upstream of the field supplied gas regulator.
b. Check gas piping for leaks and purge gas
line of air.
c. Ensure the incoming as pressure and the
setting for the high and low gas pressure
switches are within the limits given in Table
21.
d. Reset high and low gas pressure switches.
(See Figure 20).
Start the boiler using "Operating Instructions"in
B. Start Boiler
Figure 24.
1. Allow the boiler to complete its standard
startup sequence: pre-purge, pre-ignition,
and drive light-off.
2. Refer to the Concert Boiler Control manual
to select the desired control mode.
Do not use matches, candles, open flames or
other ignition source to check for leaks.
Make sure that the area around the boiler is
clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
Start-up of this boiler should be undertaken
only by trained and skilled personnel from
a qualified service agency.
instructions exactly.
adjustment, service or maintenance can cause
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
The maximum operating pressure of this boiler
is 30 psig (210 kPa), 50 psig (340 kPa), 60
psig (410 kPa), 80 psig (550 kPa) or 100 psig
(689 kPa) depending on the model and safety
relief valve option selected. Never exceed the
maximum allowable working pressure on the
heat exchanger ASME plate.
The outlet pressure for the gas valve has been
factory set and requires no field adjustment.
Attempting to adjust the outlet pressure may
result in damage to the gas valve and cause
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Each AMP Series boiler is tested at the factory
and adjustments to the air fuel mixture are
normally not necessary. Improper gas valve or
mixture adjustments could result in property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Any gas valve adjustments (throttle and/
or offset) specified herein and subsequent
combustion data (%O
collection must be performed using a calibrated
combustion analyzer.
To reduce lime scale buildup and prolong
the life of the appliance, closely monitor pH,
chloride, total dissolved solids, and water
hardness levels.
