Installation Safety Instructions - Field Controls PVE-100 Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: This device must be installed by a qualifi ed installer in accordance with the manufacturer's
installation instructions. Appliances should have a minimum of 75% combustion effi ciency or have a maximum
measured fl ue gas temperature of 550°F at the inlet of the venter.
1. The power venting system must be installed by a qualifi ed installer. "Qualifi ed Installer" shall mean
an individual who has been properly trained or a licensed installer. The installer must write or imprint
his name, phone number, and date of installation on the installation tag. The tag should be attached
to the power venting system control kit box or venter unit. Recording burner and venting system initial
operational information is recommended as a guide for service or burner tune-up. Enter this information
in the spaces provided at the end of this manual.
2. Safety inspection of a venting system should be performed before and after installing a power venting
system on an existing or new appliance. Procedures to follow are those recommended by the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or refer to the "General Installation Inspection" section of
this manual.
3. Plan the vent system layout before installation to avoid the possibility of accidental contact with
concealed wiring or plumbing inside walls.
4. Single wall vent pipe may be used to join an appliance to the venting system, but if proper clearances
cannot be maintained from combustible materials, Class B Vent Pipe should be used for gas appliances
and Class L Type Vent Pipe for oil appliances. Refer to national or local codes for guidelines.
5. Disconnect power supply before making wiring connections to prevent electrical shock and
equipment damage.
6. This equipment is designed to overcome minor negative pressure conditions. To ensure extreme negative
pressure does not exist, follow the "General Installation Inspection" section of this manual.
7. Heating appliances equipped with draft hoods, such as boilers or furnaces, LP and natural gas
appliances, SHOULD have a secondary spillage switch installed. On appliances without draft hoods,
it is recommended that the secondary safety switch WMO-1 be installed into the system. Gas-fi red 30
millivolt power systems MUST be equipped with a spillage switch.
8. Air fl ow adjustment MUST be made to ensure appliance effi ciency. This should be done at the appliance
exhaust outlet with a velocity meter, draft gauge or by the "match test procedure." The match test is in
accordance with National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, Section 8.6.
9. On oil-fi red and gas-fi red heating appliances not equipped with a draft hood, a barometric draft control
MUST be installed to regulate proper air fl ow and fl uctuations in the system's air fl ow during operation.
Fluctuations can come from wind loads on the outlet of the venter, house depressurization during windy
days, and the diff erent house ventilation requirements between summer and winter operation. For gas
appliances use a Field Controls Type MG-1 Barometric Draft Control. For oil appliances use a Field
Controls Type M or RC Barometric Draft Control. Gas-fi red draft induced systems should have a single-
acting or double-acting barometric draft control installed.
