OUTDOOR RESET WITH DHW OPERA TION - A DHW
tank controlled by a pump provides reset override whenever
DHW generation is required. In Mode 5, reset override will occur
if the staging controller receives a signal across the "STPT DEM"
and "DEM SIG" terminals of the terminal strip. (i.e., closing a tank
aquastat switch wired to these terminals). In this case, the control
will temporarily override outdoor reset and increase the target
temperature to 180°F, 82°C to provide suffi cient heat to satisfy
the DHW requirement.
Mode 6: Multiple BTC controls. Th e control only operates
the pump and stage one.
REMOTE STAGING - An external staging control is used to control
and stage multiple boiler/water heaters. Factory supplied terminals
in the electrical box are used.
Th e operating control on the boiler/water heater is set to its low-
est sett ing when the water heater leaves the factory. Th e preferred
control sett ing for potable hot water is 130°F, 54°C. Th e operat-
ing control should be set to the lowest sett ing that will satisfy the
consumer' s needs.

MAINTENANCE

Disconnect electrical power and close the manual gas
shut off valve before performing maintenance or severe
personal injury may result!
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury, exposure to hazardous materials or loss of life.
Installation and service must be performed by a
qualifi ed installer, service agency or the gas supplier
who must read and follow the supplied instructions
before installing, servicing or removing this boiler.
Th is boiler contains crystalline silica materials that have
been identifi ed as carcinogenic or possibly carcinogenic
to humans when inhaled.
AVERTT SSEMENT: une instqallation, un réglage,
une réparation ou un entretien non comforme aux
normes peut entraîner des dommages matériels, des
blessures,exposition à des matiéres dangereuses ou la
mort. L'installation et l' e ntretien doivent être eff ectués
par un installateur ou un service d' e ntretien qualifi é ou
le foumisseur de gaz qui doivent avoir lu les
instructions foumies avant de faire l'installation,
l'entretien ou l'enlèvement de la chaudière et les
respecter, Cett e chaudière contient des matériaux qui
ont été identifi és comme étant cancérogènes
Servicing, inspection and adjustment must be done by
a trained technician in accordance with all applicable
local and national codes. Improper servicing or adjust-
ment can damage the boiler/water heater!

Th e ceramic combustion chamber contains crystalline
silica. Wear a tightly fi tt ed dust mask when removing
the burners or heat exchanger to prevent inhalation
of airborne fi bers. Crystalline silica fi bers have been
identifi ed as carcinogenic, or possibly carcinogenic
when inhaled.
Th e boiler/water heater should be cleaned and inspected once a
year, before each heating season. Make sure that the burner and
ignition components are free from dust, soot, dirt, corrosion or other
deposits that would impair the boiler/water heater' s performance.
Refer to page 39 for component identifi cation.
Improper burner servicing can result in premature
burner failure voiding the warranty!
Burner Inspection And Removal - Figure 20
1. Close the manual shutoff valves in the gas supply lines and turn
off electrical power to the boiler/water heater.
2. Remove the jacket front panels.
3. Disconnect the manifold gas piping at the ground joint union(s).
Also disconnect the pressure sensing lines, pilot tubing and
ignition and sensing leads.
4. Remove the manifold(s).
5. Remove the burner(s) from the lower front combustion chamber
panel.
6. Inspect the burner(s) for damage or signs of deterioration. Use a
brush or compressed air to remove any debris from the burner
ports.
7. DO NOT install a damaged or badly corroded burner, replace
it.
8. Install the burner(s) making sure that the burner gasket is not
torn or deteriorated. If it is replace it.
9. Reassemble the unit following the removal steps in reverse order.
Heat Exchanger Inspection - Figure 20
1. Close the manual shutoff valves in the gas supply lines and turn
off electrical power to the boiler/water heater.
2. Remove the jacket front panels.
3. Disconnect gas piping at the ground joint union(s). Also
disconnect the pressure sensing lines, pilot tubing and ignition
and sensing leads.
4. Remove the upper partition panel, 1050 thru 2100 models.
5. Remove the 1/4 inch nuts and washers holding the upper
combustion chamber front panel in place and carefully remove
it.
6. Inspect the inside and outside of the heat exchanger for signs of
damage, sooting or corrosion.
7. Th e outside surfaces of the copper tubes should be free of any
soot deposits. A slight black smudge is normal with some types
of gases. Black soot indicates poor combustion. Green deposits
indicate condensation due to low return water temperatures. In
either case the heat exchanger must be cleaned thoroughly and
the problem resolved before the boiler/water heater is returned
to service.
