    Refer to the exhaust system sections of this manual. • If no control cabinet is supplied by Nagas with the unit the installer must be made one for component protection and must include aeration openings at least equal of two 2 inches holes.
  • Page 10 IMPORTANT NOTICE The below drawings show the recommended walls arrangements and inlet/outlet configuration that we have tested and believe will be safe. If the OEM decides to assemble the units with different wall and opening parameters, it will be his responsibility to test for safety and functionality. Horizontal discharge Step 1: Step 2:...
  • Page 11 Vertical discharge Step 1: Step 2: • Install walls on each side (see dimension table); • Install the unit on an insulated floor • The walls must be in contact with the guides on the support structure; • The walls must be insulated with 2’’ of high temperature insulation.
  • Page 12 Positioning of the sensor controlling the supply temperature WARNING The positioning of the supply temperature sensor is essential for the proper operation of the unit. Improper positioning of the supply temperature sensor could result in high temperatures in the supply ducts, a thermal protection shutdown, the closing of the fire damper and may result in damage to the unit and void the warranty.

  • Page 19: Flue Vent And Combustion Air

    Flue vent and combustion air Depending on the model, the flue vent connector diameter ranges from 6 to 10 inches. The DTHR model series is designed to operate effectively and safely (against a positive pressure up to 0.25 in.w.c) with a positive stack (category III) type sealed single or double wall flue vent listed for this application, whether vertical arrangement or horizontal or a combination of both.
  • Page 20 The horizontal conduit sections should be supported every six feet with non-combustible products such as, chains or steel belts. Do not use the unit or the vertical conduit section as a support. Flue vent dimensions must respect the unit diameters (minimum) and maximum equivalent lengths of 100 feet calculated.

The equivalent length is calculated by adding the lengths of straight sections of the flue vent, to the equivalent length of all the elbow pipes used.
  • Page 23: Start-Up Instruction

    Start-up instruction Important star Start-up can only be performed by a qualified technician qualified to install gas heating system (with accreditation) with knowledge in electricity and ventilation. Warning • Do not smoke during start-up. • Do not try to light the burner if the gas has accumulated in combustion chamber or in the area, if the combustion chamber is filled with vapors or if it is very hot.
  • Page 24 3.0 Burner adjustment Install a pressure gauge (0-10 in. w. c.) on the manifold pressure test port located downstream of the modulation gas valve. See component identification section for location. For the combustion test, it is recommended to use a (2-10VDC) manual potentiometer to simulate the modulation signal to the burner.
  • Page 25: Control Sequence

    Control sequence A PLC controls the burner duties by controlling the modulating gas valve, the fan speed and their relative position to each other depending on the input signal (2-10 VDC) from the temperature controller. The control sequence is defined and executed following these eight steps: 1.
  • Page 26 Step 3 - Pre-Purge (S40) The blower starts and set to 100% of its capacity for about 60 seconds then a 10 seconds timer to let the fan speed slow down before the burner ignition. When complete the burner ignition step is enabled.
  • Page 27 Step 8 - Post-purge (S100) This step is allowed when the burner modulation request is lower than 2.3V DC for more than the low fire delay, if the heating demand is turn OFF or if an alarm has been detected with the burner operation.
