Starting the boiler
(continued)
Turn the boiler OFF
1. Turn
OFF
the boiler on/off switch and allow the boiler to cycle off.
2. CLOSE
the manual gas valve.
3. Multiple boiler HeatNet applications — Disconnect the communications cable
or 3-wire connection to the boiler connection board. (Replace when done.)
Check ignition
1. With the manual gas valve
CLOSED
, start the boiler with the on/off switch.
2. Look into the flame window, left side of the boiler (Figure 29, page 38).
3. When ignition starts, the spark should jump between the electrodes, not to other
surfaces.
4. The spark should be strong and steady. If the spark is acceptable, turn the boiler
on/off switch
OFF
. Then proceed with the start-up adjustment procedure.
5. If the spark jumps to ground or is unsteady, turn the boiler
OFF
. See the
Maintenance section of this manual for the procedure to remove and inspect the
electrode assembly. Replace the electrode assembly if it is damaged or not within
specifications.
Insert combustion analyzer probe
The boiler must be checked and adjusted using combustion test
instruments. Failure to accurately measure flue gas analysis and adjust
the boiler as needed could result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
1. After the boiler has cycled off, loosen the hose clamp covering the flue gas sampling
hole (Figure 27).
The flue gas vent pipe may be hot. Touching the pipe with unprotected
skin could result in a severe burns.
2. Slide the hose clamp off of the sample opening.
3. Insert the combustion analyzer probe into the sample opening.
4. If using an electronic analyzer, zero and calibrate it before proceeding.
5. If using a chemical analyzer, make sure that the fluid is fresh and is at room temperature.
Have a monoxer and test tubes available to test carbon monoxide levels.
Check high fire operation
1. Remove the electrical panel cover on the right side of the boiler (see item 11,
page 3) as in Figure 28.
Electrical shock hazard
— The electrical box contains line-voltage
wiring and contacts. Use caution when working in the electrical box to
avoid contact with line-voltage elements. Turn off power to the boiler
panel if necessary.
2. Connect a jumper wire across the high-fire terminals of the connector board
(Figure 28). These terminals are located on the lower row as shown.
3. Turn the boiler on/off switch
ON
.
4. The boiler will start at about 30% of maximum input and immediately go to high
fire.
5. Observe the flame through the flame window (left side of boiler; see Figure 29).
• The flame should be blue and well-defined, with white traces.
• If the flame is too lean (too much air), it will be light blue and unsteady.
• If the flame appears reddish, or there are red areas on the burner surface, turn
the boiler
OFF
and reduce fuel with the gas valve throttle (see page 38).
6. Check the analyzer. A rapid increase in CO is an indicator of bad combustion.
Turn the boiler
OFF
and reduce fuel input as explained on page 38.

Seal sampling hole with high temperature
silicone after each combustion test and annual
inspection to prevent gases and condensation
from leaking during appliance operation.
