Page 18
Section 2 — Installation 2.1.3 Boiler placement The boiler or boilers should be mounted in accordance with Figure 2-2 below. Required front, rear, and side clearances are shown. Under special circumstances, reduced side clearance between boilers may be feasible. Contact your C-B authorized representative for assistance. NOTE The boiler assemblies are intended for installation in accordance with the appropriate standards of the National Fire Protection Association and the building code recommended...
The boiler must not be installed on carpeting. 2.4 WATER TREATMENT Cleaver-Brooks ClearFire condensing boilers are suitable for heating systems without significant oxygenation capacity. Systems with continuous oxygenation capacity due to unknown or unseen leaks must be equipped with a system separation or pretreatment device. Closed loop hydronic systems should incorporate air separation, dirt elimination, and air venting.
The boiler may be flushed with or without heat applied, as deemed appropriate by the chemical treatment company. A traditional steam “Boil Out” is not required on Cleaver-Brooks hot water boilers. Following are some general recommendations to help ensure long boiler life and efficient operation.
Page 21
Section 2 — Installation Typically, ethylene glycol is used for freeze protection, but other alternatives exist, such as propylene glycol. Glycol reduces the water-side heat capacity (lower specific heat than 100% water) and can reduce the effective heat transfer to the system. Because of this, design flow rates and pump selections should be sized with this in mind.
Section 2 — Installation 2.7 GAS CONNECTIONS 2.7.1 General The ClearFire Model CFLC gas fired condensing boilers use full modulating burners that require appropriate gas supply pressure and volume for proper operation. The gas requirements specified in this section must be satisfied to ensure efficient and stable combustion.
Page 23
Section 2 — Installation 2.7.3 Gas Pressure Requirements For proper and safe operation, each CFLC Series boiler requires a stable gas supply pressure. See table below for pressure requirements. Refer also to APPENDIX C - GAS VALVE Table 2-5 CFLC gas pressure requirements Gas Supply Pressure (at gas regulator outlet) Natural Gas 20ppm Natural Gas 9ppm...
Page 24
Section 2 — Installation 2.7.4 Gas Piping A dedicated pressure regulator is recommended for each CFLC boiler when the gas supply exceeds the maximum values in Table 2-5. If below the referenced max. gas supply pressure and no step-down regulator is installed, the CFLC gas train does not require gas venting (the pilot gas regulator may require a vent limiter at its vent connection depending on the local code requirements).

Section 2 — Installation 2.7.6 Gas Header Design of a single common gas header with individual takeoffs for a multiple unit installation is recommended. Boiler gas manifold piping should be sized based on the volume requirements and lengths between boilers and the fuel main header. For installations with a mixed sized use, determine the flow of each unit and total the input.
Section 2 — Installation 2.8 BOILER WATER PIPING 2.8.1 General All boiler hot water outlet and return piping is connected at the rear of the boiler. Piping is to be installed per local codes and regulations.The pipelines for the hot water outlet and return may be connected in the usual manner without removing the cladding elements.

Section 2 — Installation 2.9 MINIMUM BOILER OVERPRESSURE To prevent the occurrence of flash steam within the boiler or system, hot water boilers must operate with proper over-pressure. System over-pressure requirements are shown in Table 2-8. Note: The ASME Code Section IV limits the maximum setting of the excess temperature control to 250 F (121 C). This is to ensure that water temperature will not reach the boiling point (steaming) and therefore, so as not to exceed the maximum limit of this control and in compliance with the Code, the operating limit of 230...

2.11 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS A qualified electrician or service technician must make the electrical connections to the boiler. For specific information on your boiler electrical system refer to the Cleaver-Brooks wiring diagram provided with the boiler. Power is to be run from the top left corner of the boiler to the control panel (see Figure 2-13). AC power is to be connected to the incoming power terminals.
Section 3 — Stack and Intake Vent Sizing and Installation 3.1 VENTING CONNECTIONS - GENERAL 3.1.1 Appliance Categories Proper installation of flue gas exhaust venting is critical for efficient, reliable, and safe operation of the CFLC boiler. The boiler’s appliance category is a major factor determining venting system design.
Page 41
Application-specific information will further determine the material selected. For Category II, III & IV appliance categories, Cleaver-Brooks highly recommends that the flue system be Listed to standard UL 1738 Special Gas Vent and be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54) or ANSI Z21.47/ CSA 2.3.
Page 42
Section 3 — Stack and Intake Vent Sizing and Installation terminations are suited to moving flue gases and water vapor away from building exterior surfaces and air intakes. 1. Combustion gases can form a white vapor plume in the winter. The plume could obstruct a window view if the termination is installed in close proximity to windows.
Page 43
Section 3 — Stack and Intake Vent Sizing and Installation 4. Vent must terminate at least four (4) feet horizontally, and in no case above or below unless four (4) feet horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.
Section 3 — Stack and Intake Vent Sizing and Installation Caution Follow items listed below to avoid personal injury or property damage. • Cut nonmetallic vent pipe with fine-toothed hacksaw (34 teeth per inch). • Do not use nonmetallic vent pipe or fittings that are cracked or damaged.
Section 3 — Stack and Intake Vent Sizing and Installation These installations utilize the boiler-mounted blower to vent the combustion products to the outside. Combustion air is taken from inside the room and the vent is installed vertically through the roof to the outside.
3.4 VENTING FOR MULTIPLE UNITS Cleaver-Brooks recommends that each model CFLC in a multiple boiler installation be vented individually for safe, reliable, and optimum combustion performance. If common flue venting is the only feasible solution, ensure an unrestricted flow of flue gas from each boiler and a draft within the allowable tolerances.

Falcon Lead Lag Appendix E The firing rate is sent to the slaves as a percentage apportioned according to the rate allocation algorithm selected by the Rate Allocation Method parameter. For some algorithms this rate might be common to all slave units that are firing. For others it might represent the total system capacity and be allocated proportionally.
Page 249
Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag Add-stage request An Add-stage method implements the criteria for adding another stage. Criteria that may apply are the firing rate of a stage or stages vs. a threshold, the amount of operating point versus setpoint error seen by the master, the rate at which setpoint error is developing, and the rate at which a stage or stages are approaching their maximum or baseload firing rate.

Page 253
Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag Frost protection requests The frost protection in this status register will be set or cleared to match the status generated by the frost protection detection functions. Firing for local frost protection This provides indication to the LL master that although the burner is firing independently, it is doing so for frost protection and thus is still available as a lead/lag slave.
Page 254
Falcon Lead Lag Appendix E The Slave Command register is writable but it is mostly ignored, however the Aux pump X, Y, and Z are effective for any setting of the Slave enable parameter. The Enable for Falcon Master option Slave write and Slave read parameters; if "Enable for Falcon Master" is not selected, then these parameters are disabled.
Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag • Sequencer - the sequencer determines which unit will be the next one to turn on or turn off. Overall Control LL MASTER ENABLE: DISABLE, ENABLE, LL MASTER MODBUS PORT: MB1, MB2 If Disable is selected then all LL master functions are inactive. If Enable is selected then it acts as the active bus master on the ModBus port it is assigned.
Falcon Lead Lag Appendix E Slave Status Manager The LL master keeps track of slave status for each unit that is enabled as a slave device. The slave status manager operates internally for each slave device (up to 8). There is a table entry for each device containing the following data: •...
Page 257
Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag SlaveState states Recovering A slave that is recovering is checked once per second. If the slave has recovered the SlaveState table is changed to Available. If the slave has not yet recovered when its recovery timer reaches the RecoveryTimeLimit then: If the slave is not enabled for the LL master its SlaveState table is Set to Unknown (which logically removes it from the slave table).

If the CH demand switch value is Disable, the LL master does not respond to CH demand. Warm Weather Shutdown WARM WEATHER SHUTDOWN ENABLE: DISABLE, SHUTDOWN AFTER DEMANDS HAVE ENDED, SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY...
Page 259
Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag Frost protection input to the priority logic is not a heat demand, it is a burner demand (because frost protection always turns on pumps without regard to the priority control - it is a priority item only if it also wants to fire). Master Status MASTER HEAT DEMAND Is a data item which contains the status for the following sources of demand.
Falcon Lead Lag Appendix E Modulation Sensor LL MODULATION SENSOR: S5 The LL master's modulation sensor uses the S5 sensor (connector J8 terminal 11 and 12). If the LL master is enabled and its sensor is faulty then an alert will be issued. LL MODULATION BACKUP SENSOR: DISABLE, LEAD OUTLET, SLAVE OUTLET AVERAGE If the sensor chosen by the LL Modulation sensor is faulty then the backup sensor provided here may be used.
Page 261
Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag If the setpoint source is S2 4-20mA then the setpoint is determined by the 4-20mA input on S2, and the two param- eters described below. If the 4-20mA signal goes out of range or is invalid, and this persists for a specified time, then the setpoint source reverts to "Local".

The behavior of the hysteresis function is identical to the behavior of the stand-alone CH hysteresis function, except: •...
Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag • An add-stage is in-progress and all firing burners are at their limits (max modulation rate or base load) and then the new stage becomes available. This also applies when the system is first starting up, that is, all firing burners are at their limits (zero) because non are firing, and thus when the add-stage is finished the system transitions from no modulation at all, to modulating the first stage.
Page 264
Falcon Lead Lag Appendix E When asked for rate overflow the threshold that is used is the upper limit of the modulating stage per the current rate allocation rules. Additionally this threshold may be shifted if the Add-stage method is using a dRate/dt behavior.
Page 265
Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag • In between those two extremes the Add-stage and Drop-stage methods determine when staging occurs. The stager handles burner on and burner off events. It operates according to this state transition diagram. The stager has the following variables: StagerState: encodes the current state of the stager.
Page 266
Falcon Lead Lag Appendix E Stager Parameters ADD-STAGE INTERSTAGE DELAY: MM:SS This specifies the minimum time that the Stager waits after adding one stage before adding another stage or drop- ping a stage. DROP-STAGE INTERSTAGE DELAY: MM:SS This parameter specifies the minimum time that the Stager waits after dropping one stage before dropping another stage or adding a stage.
Page 267
Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag If so then: If the boiler's SlaveState is set to Available. If any slave boiler is firing then StagerState = Active Otherwise StagerState = Idle STAGERSTATE = ACTIVE During this state the stager is ready to manage add-stage and drop-stage requests. If AddStageRequest is true The Stager ask the Sequencer for an available slave.
Page 268
Falcon Lead Lag Appendix E - The operating point is below the setpoint by an amount greater than or equal to Add-stage error threshold When the Add-stage condition is false then AddStageDetectTimerN is set to zero. (If the condition is true then AddStageDetectTimerN is not zeroed and thus allowed to run.) If this timer reaches or exceeds LL- Add-stage detection timeN then AddStageRequestN is true.

Appendix E Falcon Lead Lag LL ALL BOILERS OFF THRESHOLD: TEMPERATURE OR NONE When the LL boiler off options specifies "Enable all boilers off (ABO)" or "Enable both ABO and LDSE" then this parameter provides the boiler off threshold temperature that is used. In this case, if the temperature is the None value then a parameter error lockout occurs.
