Assembly of the Fire Extinguishing System
(continued)
The following assembly instructions for the fire extinguishing
system are to be used with the layout and description as
shown in section Assembly of the Fire Extinguishing
System.
- Install the mounting bracket (6) near the in-feed auger
at a minimum height of 20 in. (500 mm) with the stud
anchors (5) for wall mount.
- Install the plastic container (7) to the mounting
bracket (6) with the clamping bands (8), the threaded
rods (4), washers (2) and the hex nuts (3).
- Attach the 90° street elbow (10) to the duct (9).
- Assemble the strainer (11), connector (12),
thermostatic valve (13), reducer (14), union (15),
gasket (16) and the 90° street elbow (17) and
connect the assembly to the weld on nipple (18).
Note:
The Weld on nipple (18) is pre-installed at the metering
container. The Weld on nipple (18) needs to be welded
on for the fire extinguishing system for the conveyor
auger and the fire extinguishing system for the down
pipe (18). The fire extinguishing system for the
conveyor auger and the fire-extinguishing system for
the down pipe are optional.
- Install a ½ in. line from the 90° street elbow (10)
to the strainer (11). This piping is field supplied.
- Install the sensor (23) to the in-feed auger with
the clamp (19), the bracket (20) which is welded
onto
the
in-feed auger, the strain washer (21) and
the hex nut (22).
Note:
Make sure, that the bending radius of the capillary
tube does not exceed 2 in. (50 mm).
Mounting of the control panel
A certified electrician shall mount the control panel.
Optimum positioning of the control panel will minimize
the time and costs of the installation.
The control panel should be in an area where the heat
radiation (front side of boiler, rear side of boiler with
flue gas cyclone and flue gas exhaust blower as well as
recirculation line) and the exposure to dust during
cleaning is at a minimum.
The ambient temperature for the control panel (approx.
4 in. (100 mm) away from the control cabinet) should not
exceed 104°F (40°C) while the system is in operation.
The minimum temperature must not be less than 50°F
(10°C). In case of doubt, preference should be given to
placing the control panel outside the mechanical room
near the heating room door.
Electrical connection
- Install the control panel according to the field wiring
diagram. The field wiring diagram is supplied with the
control
panel.
- In the area of hot parts (flue gas exhaust blower, flue
gas pipe), the lines should be installed in steel pipes at
an appropriate distance so as to be protected from
excessive temperatures. See section “Boiler Wiring”.
- The cable bushings to the motors and equipment
must be dust-tight and provided with a strain relief.
Control Panel
CAUTION
The Viessmann supplied field wiring diagram is not a
complete system drawing. It is the installer’s responsibility
to assure that the control is suitable for the respective
installation, and all necessary safety equipment is installed.
CAUTION
The information about wire type, wire number and wire
gauge made in the wiring diagrams is not obligatory.
The final decision of these settings has to be made by
the executing installation company taking into consideration
the local codes and regulations.
CAUTION
Any alteration of the control cabinet will void the warranty.
General safety instructions
- Retighten all wire holding screws inside the control
panel before start-up.
- Provide fuseable disconnect means according to local
code.
- DHW safety aquastat is to be installed in the tank well.
The aquastat can be installed on the DHW building supply
line if a recirculating DHW pump is used. Please check the
local building code.
The DHW safety aquastat does NOT replace scald
protection devices required by local code.
