Pre-Installation Items
To provide serviceability to the appli-
ance it is suggested that the following
clearances be maintained:
Top and vent hood area - 36 inches.
Front and burner area - 24 inches.
Rear and primary piping areas - 12
inches.
When installing the MODULATING
DELTA in a confined space, sufficient air
must be provided for proper combustion
and venting and to allow under normal
operating condition proper air flow
around the product to maintain ambient
temperatures within safe limits to com-
ply with the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54 - latest edition.
Flooring and Foundation
The MODULATING DELTA is approved for
installation on combustible floors, but never on
carpeting.
Do not install the MODULATING
DELTA on carpeting even with a metal
or wood foundation base. Fire can result
causing severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Installer should provide a solid brick or con-
crete foundation pad, at least 2 inches above
the floor level if:
-
There is a potential for the floor to
become flooded. The height of the
foundation should be such to sufficient-
ly elevate the appliance.
-
The floor is dirt, sand, gravel or other
loose material.
-
The flooring is severely uneven or
sloped.
The minimum foundation size required is 24
inches x 23 inches.
Residential Garage Installations
When installing the MODULATING DELTA in
a residential garage the following special pre-
cautions per NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 must be
taken:
-
Mount the appliance with a minimum
18 inches above the floor level of the
garage. Ensure the burner and ignition
devices / controls are no less than 18
inches above the floor level.
-
Locate or protect the appliance in a
matter so it cannot be damaged by a
moving vehicle.
Freeze Protection Feature
The control has an freeze protection feature built
in. This feature monitors the supply temperature
and responds as follows when no call for heat is
present:
-
45ºF CH circulator is ON
-
37ºF CH circulator is ON and burner
operates at low fire.
-
50ºF Burner OFF and CH circulator
operates for approximately 10 minutes
The freeze protection feature is disabled
during a hard lockout. If the heating sys-
tem is left unattended in cold weather,
appropriate safeguards or alarms should
be installed to prevent property damage.
An optional control/interface is available
from Triangle Tube which will provide a
set of alarm contacts which will close
during a hard lockout.
