•Auto body shops

•Plastic manufacturing plants

•Furniture refinishing areas and establishments

•New building construction

•Remodeling areas

Common household products, pool and laundry products may contain fluorine or chlorine compounds. When these chemicals come in contact with the boiler, they react and can form strong acids. The acid can spoil the boiler wall, causing serious damage and may result in flue gas spillage or boiler water leakage into the building.

If the above mentioned contaminants and corrosive materials chemicals are present near the location of the boiler, make sure to remove the boiler permanently or relocate air inlet and vent terminations to other areas.

FIELD WIRING

120 VAC POWER SUPPLY WIRING

A dedicated, single phase, 30-60 amp (refer to Table 6 on Page

8)circuit breaker with a grounded neutral should be provided to supply power to the boilers. Use #10 AWG wire for the 120 VAC power supply to the boiler. All 120 VAC power supply connections must be made as shown in Figure 14. These connections should be made at the rear of the unit where a wiring junction box is provided. Field installed power supply wiring to the boiler should be installed in conduit. This conduit and wiring should be separate from any other conduit/wiring to guard against EMI (electromagnetic interference).

POWER SUPPLY CHECK

To reduce the possibility of electrical interference with the boiler’s control system the power supply voltage, polarity and ground must be checked. Using an AC volt meter check the 120 VAC power supply wiring from the breaker prior to making power supply connections at the boiler. Confirm the power supply voltage & polarity are correct and that an adequate ground connection is present by performing the three voltage tests below. See Figure 14 for wiring references.

Confirm RMS voltage between:

•H and GND = 108 VAC minimum, 132 VAC maximum.

•N and H = 108 VAC minimum, 132 VAC maximum.

•N and GND = < 1 VAC maximum.

Figure 14.  FIELD WIRING

LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL WIRING

1.Header Terminals: In case of Hydronic Boilers, the header terminals are connected to the hydronic loop header sensor. Whereas in case of Hot water Boilers the header terminals are connected to the tank sensor where the temperature can be sensed. See Figure 15.

2.Outdoor Terminals: In case of Hydronic Boilers, they are connected to the outdoor sensors. But in case of Hot water Boilers, they are not connected. See Figure 15. The outdoor sensors must be mounted with cable inlet facing down as shown in Figure 16. The maximum length of the wire connecting from the boiler to the outdoor sensor must be no more than 50 feet.

3.MB2 and COM2 terminals are meant for building management systems.

Figure 15.  LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL WIRING

All low voltage control wiring connections must be made as shown in Figure 14. These connections should be made at the rear of the unit where a wiring junction box is provided. Field installed wiring inside 1/2 inch conduit is installed between the junction box on the back of the boiler and the temperature probe and/or field supplied external control being used. This conduit and wiring should be separate from any other conduit/wiring to guard against EMI (electromagnetic interference).

Figure 16.  OUTDOOR SENSOR

The outdoor sensor must be mounted in a shaded location, to avoid direct sunlight. It must be atleast 3 feet away from any exhaust, dryer, bathroom or other building vents. It must be located on the north side of th building, above the expected snow line where ice and debris cannot cover it.
