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’entretien doivent être eff ectués 
par un installateur ou un service d’entretien 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 

ou l’être.

  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.
