CHAPTER 11 - START-UP PROCEDURES

11.1. Final Checks Before Start-Up

Ø Read Chapter 9 on page 51 regarding the operation
of the CTRLMax Boiler Management System.
Ø Verify the EXALT and the boiler system are full of
water and all system components are correctly set
for operation, including the minimum flow rate
through the boiler, see specifications in Chapter
19 on page 101..
Ø Verify Start-up Preparation items outlined in
Chapter 10 on page 67 have been completed.
Ø Verify all electrical connections are correct and
securely fastened.
Ø Inspect vent and combustion air piping for signs
of deterioration from corrosion, physical damage
or sagging. Verify combustion air and vent piping
are intact and correctly installed and supported.
Reference the EXALT Vent Supplement.
Ø Verify burner configuration - Propane only.
• Check for proper labeling on the venturi and
the rating label for propane configuration.
• If there is doubt on the burner configuration,
remove the venturi and check for proper
propane gas orifice sizing on venturi labeling.
Refer to Section 7.3.2 on page 41 for orifice sizes.
Consult Propane Conversion Instructions for
proper removal and replacement of the venturi.
Ø Ensure the Condensate Drain Assembly is filled
with water.

11.2. EXALT Start-Up

1. Turn ON the electrical supply/service to the unit.
Touch the ON-OFF button located on the front con-
trol panel to the OFF position.
2. Read and follow the Operating Instructions out-
lined on following page.
If EXALT Does Not Start Correctly
1. Check for loose electrical connections, blown fuses
on control module, or an open service switch.
2. Verify CH and DHW operation is enabled. A radiator
or faucet icon with an X through it indicates that
function is disabled.
3. Check the system pressure in the Boiler Information
Menu by following the instructions in Section 9.14
on page 61.
4. Is an external limit (if applicable) open? Ensure the
external limit is reset to the closed position.
5. Are the gas supply valves open at the unit and me-
ter?
6. Is incoming gas supply pressure at the unit more
than 5"w.c. and less than 13"w.c. for Natural Gas and
more than 8"w.c. and less than 13"w.c. for LP with all
gas appliances ON and OFF.
7. Are the heating thermostats set above room
temperature?
If none of these conditions correct the problem, contact
Ideal Technical Support.

11.3. Check the EXALT and System

11.3.1 Check Boiler Piping.

• Check Boiler system piping and components
for leaks. If found, shut down the unit and repair
immediately.
• Purge any remaining air from the system. Air in the
system will interfere with circulation, creating heat
distribution problems and noise.

11.3.2 Check Vent and Combustion Air Piping.

• Check for a gas-tight seal at every connection and
seam of the vent and combustion air piping.
DANGER
Venting system must be sealed gas-tight to
prevent flue gas spillage and carbon mon-
oxide emissions, which will result in serious
injury, or death.

11.3.3 Check Gas Piping

Check around the unit for gas odor following the
procedure outlined in this manual on page 72.
DANGER
If any gas leaks are found or suspected,
shut the unit down immediately. Use a gas
detection device or bubble test to locate
the source of the gas leak and repair at
once. Do not operate the unit until the leak
is corrected. Failure to comply with this
procedure will result in substantial property
damage, serious injury, or death.
