!!WARNING!!

FIRE, EXPLOSION OR SHOCK HAZARD MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THE PHYSICAL OR ELECTRICAL

CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS BOILER IN ANY WAY.

IMPORTANT

1.IN A RESET FROM LOCKOUT CONDITION, ALL ELECTRICAL METER READINGS AT THE GAS CONTROL VALVE (24 VAC) MUST BE TAKEN WITHIN THE TRIAL FOR IGNITION PERIOD.

2.IF ANY COMPONENT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECTLY INSTALLED AND WIRED BEFORE REPLACING IT.

3.STATIC ELECTRICITY DISCHARGE CAN DAMAGE THE INTEGRATED BOILER CONTROL (IBC). TOUCH METAL SURFACE TO DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY BEFORE TOUCHING IBC.

4.THE IBC CANNOT BE REPAIRED. IF IT MALFUNCTIONS IT MUST BE REPLACED.

5.ONLY TRAINED, EXPERIENCED SERVICE TECHNICIANS SHOULD SERVICE THE IBC SYSTEMS. FOLLOWING TROUBLESHOOTING, CHECK OUT THE SYSTEM FOLLOWING THE SEQUENCE OF OPERATION SECTION OF THIS CHAPTER FOR A NORMAL LIGHT OFF SEQUENCE.

6.ALL CONTROLS ARE FACTORY TESTED IN THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS AND A DEFECTIVE CONTROL IS GENERALLY THE LEAST LIKELY CAUSE. IF YOU SUSPECT YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE CONTROL, READ THROUGH THE TROUBLESHOOTING CHART BEFORE YOU REPLACE IT.

7.IT IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY THAT THE TWO CONSECUTIVE CONTROLS ARE DEFECTIVE. IF IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING, CHANCES ARE THAT EITHER THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CONTORL OR IT IS BEING DAMAGED BY SOME OTHER PROBLEM (AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BURNING OUT A TRANSFORMER, FOR EXAMPLE).

INITIAL SERVICE CHECKS

1.BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING:

A.MAKE SURE THAT CIRCUIT BREAKER IS ON OR FUSE IS OK AT ELECTRICAL PANEL.

B.MAKE SURE THAT SERVICE SWITCH IS ON.

C.MAKE SURE THAT GAS IS ON AT THE GAS METER, AT ALL APPROPRIATE MANUAL SHUTOFF VALVES AND AT THE GAS CONTROL VALVE.

D.MAKE SURE THAT THE THERMOSTAT IS CALLING FOR HEAT.

E.CHECK THAT WIRE CONNECTORS AT THE INTEGRATED BOILER CONTROL AND AT THE ORIGINATING CONTROL ARE SECURELY PLUGGED IN OR CONNECTED.

F.CHECK THAT HOSES ARE SECURELY CONNECTED AND ARE NOT PLUGGED IN OR DAMAGED.

2. TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS:

A.VOLTMETER TO CHECK 120 VAC AND 24 VAC

B.CONTINUITY TESTER.

C.INCLINED MANOMETER OR PRESSURE GAUGE WITH 0-2.0” RANGE (0.01” SCALE) FOR MEASURING SUCTION PRESSURES AT PRESSURE SWITCH.

D.U-TUBE MANOMETER OR DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE WITH 0-14” RANGE (0.1” SCALE) FOR MEASURING INLET AND MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURES.

3. WHAT IS SYSTEM STATUS?

A.CONSULT THE CHART ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.

B.FIGURE 15 ON PAGE 29 SHOWS THE LOCATION ON THE BOILER OF THE DIAGNOSTIC INDICATOR LAMPS.

GAS-FIRED BOILERS specifications

Quantum gas-fired boilers represent a significant advancement in the realm of residential and commercial heating solutions. These innovative systems efficiently utilize natural gas to deliver consistent heating, catering to a wide range of climates and applications. With rising energy costs and increasing environmental concerns, the adoption of gas-fired boilers has gained momentum, making them a popular choice for heating needs.

One of the main features of Quantum gas-fired boilers is their impressive energy efficiency. Modern gas boilers are designed to achieve high efficiencies, often ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the majority of the energy consumed is converted into useful heat, significantly reducing fuel costs and environmental impact. Their ability to operate at such high efficiencies is largely due to advanced condensing technology, which captures and reuses the heat from exhaust gases, thus maximizing the energy extracted from the fuel.

Moreover, Quantum gas-fired boilers are equipped with advanced control systems that allow for precise temperature regulation. These systems can monitor changes in demand and adjust the operation of the boiler accordingly, ensuring that energy consumption is kept to a minimum without sacrificing comfort. This not only promotes energy savings but also extends the lifespan of the appliance.

In addition to efficiency and control, modular design is another important characteristic of Quantum gas-fired boilers. Many models are available in compact sizes, making them suitable for diverse installation environments, including tight spaces and urban areas. Their versatility allows for installation in various configurations, including wall-mounted and floor-standing units, which can be tailored to fit the specific requirements of a heating system.

Moreover, modern Quantum gas-fired boilers come with features that enhance user experience and maintenance. Many incorporate built-in diagnostic tools that indicate potential issues before they become significant problems, facilitating timely interventions and reducing downtime. Some models even offer connectivity features, enabling remote monitoring and control through smartphone applications.

In summary, Quantum gas-fired boilers deliver exceptional energy efficiency and reliability, employing advanced technologies such as condensing methods and smart controls. Their modular design and user-friendly features make them an appealing choice for anyone seeking a high-performing heating solution. As the demand for sustainable and cost-effective heating solutions continues to rise, Quantum gas-fired boilers are poised to play a crucial role in meeting the world's heating needs.
