Page 3: Specifications
Elevation (ft) CAUTION AT ELEVATIONS GREATER THAN 2000 FEET, THE COMBUSTION OF THE MATRIX MUST BE CHECKED WITH A CALIBRATED COMBUSTION TESTER TO ENSURE SAFE AND RELIABLE OPERATION. CONSULT SECTION 5.20 FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON ADJUSTING THE INPUT TO PROVIDE PROPER OPERATION. -
Page 4: Installation Requirements
2.0 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The installation of your NY Thermal Matrix gas furnace/boiler must conform to the requirements of your local authority, and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes. Where required by the Authority, the installation must conform to the standard for “Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers ANSI/ASME CSD-1. -
Page 5: Location
2.1 Location In all cases, the Matrix must be installed indoors, in a dry location, such that the gas components are protected from dripping or spraying water or rain, during operation and servicing. The boiler location ambient temperature is maintained to a minimum of 50°F. -
Page 6: Venting
Under no conditions, may this unit vent gases into a masonry chimney, unless it is vacant, and utilizes Matrix approved venting material as illustrated in the figures in this section. -
Page 7: Vent Pipe Material
Field supplied piping and fittings are required to complete the installation. Selection of the vent pipe material must be based upon the Local codes and regulations. The Matrix is certified to operate under all conditions using the following venting material:... - Page 8 Matrix Installation and Operation Instructions 3.2.2 Concentric Vent Termination (No longer approved for Canada) Figure 3.3 Concentric Vent Termination Apply Plate Here Support (Field installed) Inlet air Gas Vent Directly Below Keep Free of Obstructions Exhaust Exhaust Inlet air Must be 1”...

Page 9: Venting Rules And Guidelines
Matrix Installation and Operation Instructions IMPORTANT USE OF EXISTING CHIMNEY It is permissible to run vent pipe through an existing chimney as long as: 1. The chimney is not to be used by any other appliance. 2. Flue gases don’t enter the vacant chimney. -
Page 10: Venting Clearances
Matrix Installation and Operation Instructions 3.4 Venting Clearances These are code restrictions for the location of the Flue gas vent terminal. Compliance doesn’t insure a satisfactory installation; good common sense must also be applied. The vent terminal shall not terminate: 1. -
Page 11: Outdoor Venting
Matrix Installation and Operation Instructions 3.6 Outdoor Venting Figure 3.6 Outdoor Venting Vent piping outside the Building is permitted under the following conditions: Supports every 24” The maximum length outside the building is 20 feet. (Outdoor length must be included in the overall vent length calculation.) Exhaust All normal termination clearances are maintained. -
Page 12: Condensate Drain
Matrix Installation and Operation Instructions 4.0 CONDENSATE DRAIN This unit produces water as a product of combustion. Much of this water condenses on the heat exchanger and in the venting system. All exhaust piping must be on a slope back to the boiler ¼” per linear foot of vent. Steps must be taken to ensure that condensate does not collect in the venting system. -
Page 13: Installing Gas Piping
Gas line and regulator(s) must be able to support a line pressure at the gas valve of 4-9”w.c for Natural Gas and 9-12”w.c for LP while running at maximum rate. Matrix gas valves are equipped with two bleed ports to measure Line and Manifold pressure. - Page 14 Line Pressure CAUTION The Matrix is tested with Natural Gas having a heating value of 1020 BTU per cubic foot. For areas with lower heating values, a combustion test is required to obtain optimum operation. Using a calibrated flue gas analyzer, check the combustion and compare it with the acceptable requirements. The test should be performed at maximum fan speed (“Gas Input Value”).

Matrix Installation and Operation Instructions 6.0 BOILER PLUMBING WARNING THIS APPLIANCE CONSISTS OF A “LOW-MASS” BOILER AND MUST HAVE ADEQUATE WATER FLOWING THROUGH IT WHENEVER THE BURNER IS ON. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL DAMAGE THE UNIT AND VOID THE WARRANTY. -
Page 16: Plumbing (Minimum Requirements)
Low Water Cutoff: A certified LWCO is not provided in the package, however one is to be field installed in any application where the Matrix boiler is located above the radiation or where local authorities require it. Ensure that the water line of the “Low Water Cutoff” is at least 6”... -
Page 17: Matrix Boiler Connections
Preventer Expansion Tank IMPORTANT Expansion tank and air removal device for the internal functions of the Matrix are included and provide only enough capacity for these functions. Additional secondary systems require appropriately sized air removal and expansion capability. 6.3 Hydronic Heating Additions (Optional) ATTENTION 1. - Page 18 The Matrix has a Grundfos 15-42 built into the primary loop. Given the head loss of the primary loop, the flow rate is fixed at 5 gpm. When designing any secondary heating system it is important to allow for an increase boiler set point to ensure full capacity of the secondary system.

Page 23: Domestic Hot Water System
MANUAL, OPERATION MAY SUPPLY SCALDING HOT WATER TO THE OCCUPANTS. Flow Switch (Supplied): The Matrix comes with a domestic flow switch that must be field installed in the location shown. It is important the flow switch be installed in the cold water line before the cold-water branch to the Mixing Valve or in the mixed out line, thus the flow switch will have the total domestic hot water flow rate available to trigger it and initiate the hot water call. - Page 24 Procedure for Setting up Domestic Hot Water: If the Matrix is being installed in an application that uses municipal water, often the pressure is high enough to generate flow rates at the faucets that will exceed the appliances capacity to heat it. See the following table to determine what flow can be expected at various inlet and outlet water temperatures.

Page 29: Control Setup
The Matrix used two devices to control the functions required by the Matrix. The Matrix Boiler Control (red face) controls and ensures the safe operation of the boiler functions of the Matrix much the same as the Sentry 2100 does in the Trinity products. The Matrix Fan Control (blue face) controls all of the operation and safety functions related to air handling and hot water dispatching. -
Page 30: Operation And Set-Up
9.2 Operation and Set-up The Matrix employs a pneumatic modulation system. This modulation system increases or decreases the velocity of the combustion blower, to meet the demand for heating. The gas valve senses this change in blower pressure and introduces the required amount of gas to ensure correct combustion. - Page 31 9.2.2 Setting Matrix Fan Control Just as the Matrix Boiler Controller controls all of the operation and safety functions of the boiler, the Matrix Fan Controller, controls all of the operation and safety functions related to air handling and hot water dispatching. The fan controller controls the forced air modulation, ventilation, as well as priority of domestic hot water and secondary heating systems.

The Example. coil then supplies plenum air at 113° F or ~30,000 BTU/hr. (1.08x675x(113-72)=30,000) On an initial thermostat call (24VAC @ W1), space heating begins by providing heat at stage 3 (~24,000 BTU/hr) (if hydronic heat is also calling (24VAC @ H) heating will begin at stage 1) and so long as the thermostat is not satisfied, incrementally increases to a maximum of stage 10 (~66,000 BTU/hr). -
Page 34: Duct Sizing
Call for Auxiliary Heat (24 VAC @ W2): When calling, furnace will provide heat at a stage 10 output rate. With a call for auxiliary heating the Matrix will function as a single stage, full fire appliance. This means the burner will come on with a thermostat call and go off when the call is satisfied. -
