Notes:
1 – Listed Input and Output ratings are at minimum vent lengths at Sea Level. Numbers will be lower with longer venting
and/or altitudes greater than 2000 feet.
2 – The maximum output when operating on LP-Gas is limited to 145MBH.
3 – Based on rating plate input capacities, using standard test procedures prescribed by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Ratings have been confirmed by AHRI (GAMA).
4 – Matrix units require a special venting system, use only vent materials and methods detailed in these instructions.
High Altitude Operation
The Matrix is designed to operate at its maximum listed capacity in installations less than or equal to 2000 ft
[610 m] above Sea Level. Since the density of air decreases as elevation increases, maximum specified capacity
should be de-rated for elevations above 2000 ft [610 m] in accordance with Table 2-2.

Notes:
1
Canada: Altitudes between 2000-4500 ft [610-1372 m], de-rate by 10%. Consult local authorities for de-rating
capacities for altitudes above 4500 ft [1372 m].
2
USA: De-rate capacity by 4% for every 1000 ft [305 m], if altitude is over 2000 ft [610 m].
Combustion – At elevations above 2000 feet, the combustion of the boiler must be
checked with a calibrated combustion analyzer to ensure safe and reliable operation. It is
the Installers responsibility to check the combustion and to adjust the combustion
in accordance to Section 9.0. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
