Installation & Operation Manual
The Knight XL - How it works...
1.Stainless steel heat exchanger
Allows system water to flow through specially designed coils for maximum heat transfer, while providing protection against flue gas corrosion. The coils are encased in a jacket that contains the combustion process.
2.Heat exchanger access cover
Allows access to the combustion side of the heat exchanger coils.
3.Blower
The blower pulls in air and gas through the venturi (item 5). Air and gas mix inside the blower and are pushed into the burner, where they burn inside the combustion chamber.
4.Gas valve
The gas valve senses the negative pressure created by the blower, allowing gas to flow only if the gas valve is powered and combustion air is flowing.
16.SMART Control Module
The SMART Control responds to internal and external signals and controls the blower, gas valve, and pumps to meet the heating demand.
17.Automatic air vent
Designed to remove trapped air from the heat exchanger coils.
18.Air intake adapter
Allows for the connection of the PVC air intake pipe to the boiler.
19.High voltage junction box
The junction box contains the connection points for the line voltage power and all pumps.
20.Boiler drain port
Location from which the heat exchanger can be drained.
5.Venturi
The venturi controls air and gas flow into the burner.
6.Flue gas sensor
This sensor monitors the flue gas exit temperature. The control module will modulate and shut down the boiler if the flue gas temperature gets too hot. This protects the flue pipe from overheating.
7.Boiler outlet temperature sensor
This sensor monitors boiler outlet water temperature (system supply). If selected as the controlling sensor, the control module adjusts boiler firing rate so the outlet temperature is correct.
8.Boiler inlet temperature sensor
This sensor monitors return water temperature (system return). If selected as the controlling sensor, the control module adjusts the boiler firing rate so the inlet temperature is correct.
9.Temperature and pressure gauge (field installed, not shown)
Monitors the outlet temperature of the boiler as well as the system water pressure.
10.Electronic display
The electronic display consists of 7 buttons and a dual line 32- character liquid crystal display.
11.Flue pipe adapter
Allows for the connection of the PVC vent pipe system to the boiler.
12.Burner (not shown)
Made with metal fiber and stainless steel construction, the burner uses
13.Water outlet (system supply)
A
14.Water inlet (system return)
A
15.Gas connection pipe
Threaded pipe connection, either 1" or
21.Low voltage connection board
The connection board is used to connect external low voltage devices.
22.Low voltage wiring connections (knockouts)
Conduit connection points for the low voltage connection board.
23.Condensate drain connection
Connects the condensate drain line to a 1/2" PVC union.
24.Access cover - front
Provides access to the gas train and the heat exchanger.
25.Ignition electrode
Provides direct spark for igniting the burner.
26.Flame inspection window
The quartz glass window provides a view of the burner surface and flame.
27.Gas shutoff valve
Manual valve used to isolate the gas valve from the gas supply.
28.High limit
Device that monitors the outlet water temperature. If the temperature exceeds its setting, it will break the control circuit, shutting the boiler down.
29.Relief valve
Protects the heat exchanger from an over pressure condition. The relief valve will be set at 50 PSI.
30.Flame sensor
Used by the control module to detect the presence of burner flame.
31.Line voltage wiring connections (knockouts)
Conduit connection points for the high voltage junction box.
32.Top panel
Removable panel to gain access to the internal components.
33.Power switch
Turns 120 VAC ON/OFF to the boiler.
34.Leveling legs
Used to allow the heat exchanger to be leveled. This is needed for the proper draining of the condensate from the combustion chamber.
35.Air shroud (Model 500 only)
The air shroud controls air and gas flow into the burner.
