Low Water Cutoff
–
Capacitor Electrical Short Test Instructions
5. Confirm that the ohmmeter does NOT read a short.
NOTE:
If the ohmmeter reads a short, the capacitor assembly needs to be replaced. Refer to
document TID-0096, provided with the 24-month maintence kit, for LWCO replacement
instructions.
6. Remove both ohmmeter probes and reconnect the Shell Harness connector to the P5
connector on the rear of the C-More Controller.
4.11.2 Low Water Cutoff (LWCO) - Standard C-More Controller Test
Perform the standard Low Water Cutoff test using the C-More Controller as described below.
Low Water Cutoff (LWCO) - Standard C-More Test Instructions
1. Turn the AC power to the unit to the
ON
position.
2. Press the TEST switch on the C-More Controller and confirm that the blinking
LOW
WATER LEVEL
message appears on the C-More display within 4 seconds.
3. Press the RESET key, followed by the
Clear
button, and confirm that the
LOW WATER
LEVEL
message is cleared.
4.12 SHUTTING BOILER DOWN FOR EXTENDED PERIOD
If the boiler is to be taken out of service for an extended period of time (one year or more), the
following instructions must be followed.
Shutting Boiler Down For An Extended Period Instructions
1. Set ON/OFF switch on the front panel to the
OFF
position to shut down the boiler’s
operating controls.
2. Disconnect AC power from the unit.
3. Close the water supply and return valves to isolate boiler.
4. Close external gas supply valve.
5. Open relief valve to vent water pressure.
6. Open the drain valve and drain all water from the unit.
7. If the temperature in the storage location will ever get below freezing,
for even a short
time
, you must drain
all
water from the unit
before
the temperature falls below freezing.
Step 6 is not sufficient, as it leaves some water in the bottom of the heat exchanger
chamber. You must then use a suction pump inserted through the inspection ports to
remove all water from the bottoms of the heat exchanger chamber and base assembly.
8. Refer to Appendix J for maintenance of the blower during shut down.
WARNING!
If the temperature will ever fall below freezing, failure to drain
all
water can cause heat
exchanger tubes to crack and fail.
