A. INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of damage. 2. FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide a concrete base if floor is not perfectly level, or if water may be encountered on floor around boiler. 1. ALL EQUIPMENT is carefully manufactured, inspected and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery of the crated boiler to the carrier in good condition. 3. PROVIDE SERVICE CLEARANCE of at least 48” from the front of the jacket for servicing of burner and removal of tankless heater. 2.
C. PROVIDE AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATION to then it is considered an unconfined space. If the result is less than 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour then the space is considered a confined space. accommodate proper combustion. If natural ventilation is inadequate, provide a screened opening or duct from the boiler room to the outside. The opening or duct must be sized so the boiler input will not exceed 4,000 BTUH/Sq. In. of free area.

B. Install Pressure Relief Valve. See Figures 8 and 9. Pressure Relief Valve must be installed with spindle in the vertical position. Installation of the relief valve must be consistent with ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV.

heater but to piping and fixtures plus the many other benefits derived from soft water. G. INSTALL SMOKEPIPE — The HF should be vented into a fireclay tile-lined masonry chimney or chimney constructed from type L vent or a factory built chimney that complies with the type HT requirements of UL103. The chimney and vent pipe shall have a sufficient draft at all times, to assure safe proper operation of the boiler. See Figure 6 for recommended installation. 1.

DANGER Positively assure all electrical connecti ons are unpow ered before attempting installation or service of elec tric al components or connections of the boiler or bui lding. Lock out all ele ctrical boxes wi th pa dlock once power is turned off. WARNING Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm. Electrical pow er may be from more than one source. Make sure all power is off before attempting any electrical work.
Figure 10: Wiring Diagram for Water Boilers with Beckett AFG Burner and Controls, without Tankless Heater SEQUENCE OF OPERATION A call for heat by the thermostat energizes the L8148A control which in turn energizes the R4184D primary control to turn on the burner. If burner ignites within approximately 45 seconds and the cad cell sees flame, the burner will continue to operate until the call for heat is satisfied or the setting of the high limit is reached.
J. Oil Piping K. Single-pipe Oil Lines 1. Use flexible oil line(s) so that burner can be removed without disconnecting the oil supply. 1. Standard burners are provided with single-stage 3450 rpm fuel units with the bypass plug removed for single-pipe installations. 2. A supply line fuel oil filter is recommended as a minimum for all firing rates but a pleated paper fuel oil filter is recommended for the lowest firing rate application to prevent nozzle fouling. 2.

Refer to installation instructions contained in this manual. 11. Remove hose from bib cock. D. CONFIRM that the boiler and system have no water B. Confirm all electrical, water and oil supplies are turned leaks. off at the source and that the vent is clear from obstructions. E.

See Manila folder in file titled “HF” Figure 14: Electrode / Head Setting delicate and should protected from dirt and abuse. Nozzles are mass produced and can vary from sample to sample. For all of those reasons a spare nozzle is a desirable item for a serviceman to carry. c. FUEL LEAKS— Any fuel leak between the pump and the nozzle will be detrimental to good combustion results. Look for wet surfaces in the air tube, under the ignitor, and around the air inlet.
i. Fitting leaks due to misflared tubing or damaged fitting. ii. Fuel line leak due to crushed or bent tubing. i. HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS Typically, the rule to use for high altitudes is to increase the air supply by 4% per each 1000 ft. above 2000 ft. altitude from sea level. This means that the air setting will have to be higher than the calibration marks in proportion to the altitude. Use instruments and set for 11.5 to 12.5% CO2. iii. Filter connection leaks. iv. Tank connection leaks.
• c. Burner should stop when water level drops below low water cutoff probe. Verify limit, thermostat or other controls have not shut off boiler. Push red reset button to reset safety switch. b. Simulate ignition failure: • • • Follow the starting procedure to turn on the burner, but do not open the oil supply hand valve. Safety switch should lock out in approximately 15 seconds. Ignition and motor should stop and oil valve should close. Push red reset button to reset safety switch. d.
