  • Page 6: Introduction

    The ecosmart hydronic furnace is designed to maximize performance and comfort in residential or light commercial applications. The ecosmart can be used with a variety of heat sources such as boilers and water heaters and can be implemented in combo systems that provide domestic hot water as well as space heating.

    Set the design water temperature to deliver the necessary amount of BTUs to the air handler. 5. Once all air has been purged, turn on the power to the ecosmart and set the room thermostat to heat and set the temperature high enough to initiate a call for heat. This will energize the air handler an in turn the fan and pump.
  • Page 15: Installation

    It is not recommended to install the ecosmart in an unheated space. Should the ecosmart be installed in an area where the ambient temperature may fall below freezing, ethylene or propylene glycol should be added into the hydronic heating system to protect against damage, which would not be covered under warranty.
  • Page 16: Ecosmart Mounting

    The ecosmart can be installed in up flow, down flow and left or right horizontal applications. Install the ecosmart with the door in place to make sure the cabinet remains square. Flip the unit for down flow applications so that the top of the unit is now the bottom. No modification is required for any configuration.
  • Page 17: Drain Pan

    Pump A pump is not included inside the ecosmart. Whether you are using an external pump or an internal built-in pump, it should be sized for the system. Pumps supplied with the heat generating units can be used as the sole pump provided it meets the needs of the system. This is especially the case in retrofit applications where a much larger pump may have previously been used in the system.
  • Page 18 • When set up in basic mode, the pump will operate as a single-speed pump • The ecosmart controller has a built-in pump timer that exercises the pump for 1 minute every 24 hours to prevent the possibility of ‘sticking’ due to sediment and comply with...

    40°F or lower the ecosmart will bring on the circulating fan and energize the pump. If in cooling mode, the ecosmart will also turn on the condenser by breaking the C connection.
  • Page 33: Pump Exerciser

    Pump Exerciser • The circulating pump is exercised for 1 min every 24 hr when the ecosmart is OFF, COOLING (Y), COOLING2 (Y2) or FAN (G) to prevent the possibility of ‘sticking’ due to sediment and to meet local codes.
  • Page 34: Troubleshooting

    If the ecosmart does not run when the thermostat is calling, remove the thermostat connections at the ecosmart and jumper R to W for heating, or R to Y (Y2) to verify if the problem is with the thermostat or ecosmart control. Note that some thermostats have a delay (typically five minutes) before they will re-start cooling.
  • Page 35: Heating During Standby Mode

    The contactor in the condenser shuts off because it requires more current to stay on. Solution: replace with a modern thermostat which has no heat anticipator.
  • Page 36: External Pump Does Not Run (Sticking Issue)

    External pump does not run (sticking issue) In areas where hard water is present the pump may stick and fail to run. Often, closing the isolation valve on the return leg and opening the drain port so that water flows through the pump can free this.
