7.2.10 Mixing Actuator
The mixing actuator connects to both mixing valves and takes its signal from the mixing control to properly set the valves to protect the copper heat exchanger. To remove the actuator, remove the screw on the front to take the cover off. Disconnect the wires. Take the 2 nuts off the
to the side, out of the way. Slide the actuator out. Reassemble in reverse order.
7.2.11 Ignition Control
The ignition control ensures the proved
7.2.12Ignitor / Flame Sensor Assembly
The ignitor is a 110v “hot surface” type. It
is energized whenever there is a call for heat and switched off when ignition is established and the flame has been sensed. Ignitors with an ohms resistance over 80 ohms (tested after the ignitor has been allowed
to cool to room temperature) should be replaced. To replace the ignitor, shut off the
Caution
Ignitor gets hot and can cause burns or injury.
7.2.13 Transformers
There are various transformers used on the Brute Magnum units. Be sure to replace the transformers with factory parts. These transformers are not capable of supplying control voltage for external devices such as zone valves, which must have their own separate power supply. Should a transformer need replacing, shut off the
7.2.14 Blower
The combustion air blower is a
panel, the two side access panels, and the top jacket panel off. (If there is enough clearance on the side, the top may not have to be removed.) Disconnect the gas union between the blower and gas valves. Disconnect the filter box assembly (at the air transition) from the blower (six 8 mm bolts). Disconnect the two Molex electrical connectors from the top right of the blower. Remove the four nuts from the blower flange, and pull the blower out. Replace blower in reverse order, ensuring that all joints are made correctly and sealed. After replacement, ensure that the unit operates properly, by following the
7.2.15 Flow Switch
The Brute Magnum uses a
7.2.16 Heat Exchanger Coils
Black carbon soot buildup on the external surfaces of the copper heat exchanger is caused by one or more of the following; incomplete combustion, combustion air problems, venting problems and heater short cycling. Soot buildup or other debris on the heat exchanger may restrict the flue passages.
If black carbon soot buildup on the copper exchanger is suspected, disconnect electrical supply to the unit, and turn off the gas supply by closing the manual gas valve on the unit. Access the heat exchanger through the side access panels, and inspect the finned copper tubing using a flashlight. If there is a buildup of black carbon soot or other debris on the heat exchanger, clean per the following:
Caution
Black carbon soot buildup on a dirty heat exchanger can be ignited by a random spark or flame. To prevent this from happening, dampen the soot deposits with a wet brush or fine water spray before servicing the heat exchanger.
1.Disconnect the electrical supply to the unit.
2.Turn off the gas supply by closing the manual gas valve on the heater.
3.Disconnect and remove the wires, conduit and sensors from all components that are attached to the inlet/outlet header.
4.Isolate the heat exchanger from the water supply.
5.Drain the heat exchanger from the drain located on the bottom of the heat exchanger.
6.Disconnect the header flanges from the inlet and outlet.
7.Remove the heat exchanger from the unit. NOTE: The heat exchangers are heavy and may require two people to remove to avoid personal injury.
