XIV. System Start-up
A. Check System Setup
1. Verify that the venting, water piping, gas piping
and electrical system are installed properly. Refer
to installation instructions contained in this manual.
2. Confirm all electrical, water, and gas supplies are
turned off at the source and that venting is clear
of obstructions.
3. Flush the system to remove sediment, flux, and
other contaminants. This must be done with the
appliance isolated from the system.
4. Fill the hot water system with treated water as
specified in the water quality section of this manual.
a. Maintain at least 15 psi primary loop pressure.
5. Power the appliance. Turn on the electrical
supply to the appliance and circulator at the fuse
disconnect switch.
6. Power the circulator(s). Turn system circulator(s)
on and purge air from the system.
7. Pressurize the fuel line.
a. Open the manual gas shut-off valves located
upstream of the field supplied gas regulator.
b. Check gas piping for leaks and purge gas line of air.
c. Ensure the incoming gas pressure is within the
min and max on the rating label. Also, ensure the
setting for the high and low gas pressure switches
are within the limits given in Table 34.
d. Reset high and low gas pressure switches by
pressing the reset button.
B. Start the AMP
Start the appliance using "Operating Instructions"in
Figure 32.
1. Allow the appliance to complete its standard
startup sequence: pre-purge, pre-ignition, and
drive light-off.
2. Refer to the Concert Boiler Control manual to select
the desired control mode.
3. It may take a couple of ignition attempts before
a flame is established. After the first ignition
failure, the appliance goes into a hard lockout
and a manual reset using the Concert Control is
required to restart. If ignition is not achieved in
three consecutive attempts, contact factory or a
qualified heating service technician.
4. Begin commissioning the appliance. Visually
inspect flame via sight glass window. On high fire
the flame should be stable and mostly blue. Yellow
tips should not be present; but, intermittent flecks
of yellow and orange in the flame are normal.
5. Test any other external limits or other controls in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
.
NOTICE NOTICE
To reduce lime scale buildup and prolong the life of
the appliance, closely monitor pH, chloride, total
dissolved solids, and water hardness levels.
DANGER DANGER
Do not use matches, candles, or other open flame
ignition sources to check for leaks.
Make sure that the area around the appliance is
clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.

WARNING WARNING
Start-up of this appliance should be undertaken
only by trained and skilled personnel from a
qualified service agency. Follow these instructions
exactly. Improper installation, adjustment, service
or maintenance can cause property damage,
personal injury, or loss of life.
The maximum operating pressure of this appliance
is 150psi (1034 kPa) with the factory installed
temperature and pressure relief valve. Never
exceed the maximum allowable working pressure
on the heat exchanger ASME plate.
The outlet pressure for the gas valve has been
factory set and requires no field adjustment.
Attempting to adjust the outlet pressure may result
in damage to the gas valve and cause property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Each AMP Series appliance is tested at the
factory and adjustments to the air fuel mixture
are normally not necessary. Improper gas valve
or mixture adjustments could result in property
damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
Any gas valve adjustments (throttle and/or offset)
specified herein and subsequent combustion data
(%O
2
, %CO
2
, CO air free ppm) collection must be
performed using a calibrated combustion analyzer.
