COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM
This product is designed for use with any natural gas or LP burning furnace, water heater, or boiler with a
24 VAC control system. It may be used with a millivolt powered system with additional hardware. It may
also be used with more than one appliance. The CAS unit mechanically draws air into a structure and
disperses it near the combustion air intake of an appliance. If an optional Vacuum Relief Valve (VRV) is
used, the incoming air is tempered before entering the structure's airspace. Refer to Diagrams 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.

  • Page 2 GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION The thermostat (wall thermostat, or aquastat) calls for heat and energizes a relay which activates the CAS unit. After the CAS fan has come up to speed, an internal air pressure switch closes and completes the circuit to allow the burner to fire. If the appliance is power vented, the venter and CAS activate simultaneously.
