COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM
This product is designed for use with any oil burning furnace, water heater, or boiler with 120 VAC control
systems. The CAS-3 may be used with one 120V-controlled combustion heating appliance and one 30mV
standing-pilot gas water heater with the use of an additional CK-20 series control kit. Additional 120V or
24V-controlled appliances may also be served by the CAS-3 with the addition of one CAC-120 or
CAC-24 control kit per each additional appliance (see note)*. The CAS unit mechanically draws air into a structure
and disperses it near the combustion air intake of an appliance. Refer to Diagram A and B for guidance in setting
up the CAS system based on the size and length of the connecting ductwork and the input rating of the appliance.
