SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...
1.1 Boiler/Water Heater Description The Gasmaster GMI 2M (2ML) is a gas-fired water tube boiler and water heater with nominal input rating of 2,000,000 Btu/hr. Each unit has five stainless steel coiled tubes (SA-249 Type 316L), 1.25” (1.50”) diameter and 0.065” wall thickness. All five coils are held parallel vertically by means of four stainless steel ready rods and adjustment nut assemblies.
Safety Features Each Gasmaster GMI 2M boiler and water heater is equipped with a number of safety features. Low Water Cut-Off Switch: One “McDonnell & Miller” low water cut-off switch is installed on the outlet manifold. When water reaches the LWCO position, the burner should fire.
Hence, maintaining the outlet water at constant temperature, during changes in the load/demand (i.e. throttle or load tracking function). IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...

WARNING Exceeding the maximum allowable gas manifold pressure could result in over-firing of the unit and may cause permanent damage to the unit. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...
1.5 Gas Manifold and Control Assembly Tests Safe operation and all performance criteria of all Gasmaster products, incorporating the installed gas manifold and control assembly, are proven before delivery when the products are factory tested in accordance with the ANSI Z21.13b 2000 standards.
Note that “soft water” is defined as one having less than 0.12° British, or 0.17° US hardness level. Consult a local water treatment consultant to determine if water treatment is required. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...

(main gas valve, boiler/water heater gas regulator, and low gas pressure switch) could be easily isolated and removed, whenever necessary. The valve should be clearly marked, located outside the unit’s IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...
The exhaust venting system must meet the requirements of category IV boilers (i.e. corrosion resistant, water and air-tight). The exhaust duct outlet to the atmosphere MUST be wind protected by an approved wind cap IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...

The pan must not restrict air- flow. 2.8.6 The boiler should always be purged of natural gases before starting up. The operator should also investigate and identify the cause of any trip before attempting to relight the boiler. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...

Persons with medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure should obtain their physician’s advice before using spas or hot tubs. Persons taking medications, which induce drowsiness, should not use spas or hot tubs. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...
If the combustion air pressure drops by more than 20% below the nominal air pressure (minimum pressure of 0.4” wc), the burner controller will be deactivated and the main gas valve will immediately close. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...
If the outlet water temperature reaches the maximum operating temperature, the boiler/water heater will shut down and goes into the stand by mode. The unit will automatically re-start when the water temperature drops below the operating set point minus the differential temperature. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...
Installation must be carried out in accordance to all applicable local codes and factory guidelines. When required, a proper drain should be installed on the vent. Condensate Line Connection Inspect the condensate line and ensure it is installed in accordance with the factory guidelines. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...

WARNING The field start-up report MUST be faxed to GMI at 604-574-9572 within 10 days of start-up. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of all expressed and/or implied warranties. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...
(please see item #7 on page 4 of the Riello catalogue). Ensure this pressure is between 0.4” – 1.4” wc. WARNING The gas manifold pressure should not exceed the maximum value shown on the unit’s nameplate. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...
Do not use this boiler/water heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler/water heater and to replace any part of the control system or any gas control component, which has been under water. IOM GMI 2M & 2ML Nov 2010.doc...
