4.ON WATER BOILERS WITHOUT TANKLESS HEATERS, set high limit dial on L4006A at 210°F. This temperature may be varied to suit requirements of installation.

5.ON WATER BOILERS WITH TANKLESS HEATERS, set low limit operating control dial at 190°F and high limit dial 210°F. Operating control must be a minimum of 20° below high limit setting. Set differential at 25°.

D.ADJUST BURNER according to the Burner Manual.

1.FLAME FAILURE

The V9A boiler controls operate the burner automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner ceases to fire and the reset button on the primary control is tripped, the burner has experienced ignition failure. Before pressing the reset button, call your serviceman immediately.

WARNING

Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil or gas has accumulated in the combustion chamber, when the unit is full of vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very hot.

E.TEST CONTROLS

WARNING

Before installation of the boiler is considered complete, the operation of the boiler controls should be checked, particularly the low water cutoff and the high limit control.

All controls must be checked prior to putting the boiler in service.

1.CHECK OPERATING CONTROL OPERATION.

Raise and lower operating control setting as required to start and stop burner.

2.CHECK OPERATION OF HIGH LIMIT CONTROL —

Jumper Operating Control Terminals. Allow burner to operate until shutdown by limit. Installation is not considered complete until this check has been made. REMOVE JUMPER.

3.CHECK LOW WATER CUTOFF control with water level at normal water line (see Figure 1). Raise operating control setting to allow burner to operate. Open boiler drain to allow water level to drop to bottom of sight glass until burner operation is shut down by low water cutoff.

Close boiler drain and refill to normal water line. Burner should automatically restart during fill.

RESET OPERATING CONTROL.

CAUTION

Probe and float type low water cutoff devices require annual inspection and maintenance.

4.CHECK OPERATING CONTROL on boiler equipped with tankless heaters. With burner off, draw hot water until burner starts, then turn off hot water and check burner shutdown.

F.BOILER AND SYSTEM CLEANING - STEAM BOILER

NOTICE

A qualified water treatment chemical specialist should be consulted for recommendations regarding appropriate chemical compounds and concentrations which are compatible with local environmental regulations.

WARNING

Chemicals used in treating boiler water are toxic and/or harmful. Always use protective clothing and equipment when working with/ near chemicals. Contact local authorities to determine if treated boiler water can be discharged into local waste water system.

1.Oil, greases & sediments which accumulate in a new boiler and piping must be removed in order to prevent an unsteady water line and carry over of the water into the supply main above boiler.

Operate the boiler with steam in the entire system for a few days allowing the condensate to return to the boiler. If the condensate can temporarily be wasted, operate boiler only for the length of time it takes for condensate to run clear. If the latter cannot be achieved or if the condensate is returned to the boiler, boil out the boiler using the SURFACE BLOWOFF connection. See Figure 38a.

a.Drain boiler until water is just visible in gauge glass. Run temporarily 1½” pipe line from the surface blowoff connection to an open drain or some other location where hot water may be discharged safely. Do not install valve in this line.

b.Add an appropriate amount of recommended boilout compounds.

c.Start burner and operate sufficiently to boil the water without producing steam pressure. Boil for about 5 hours. Open boiler feed pipe sufficiently to permit a steady trickle of water from the surface blowoff pipe. Continue this slow boiling and trickle of overflow for several hours until the water coming from the overflow is clear.
