OPERATION 3 - FLUE CONNECTIONS AND ROUTING 3 m angled horizontal balanced flue -straight Connection of the coaxial flue/combustion air piping system is in the back of the unit to the separator tube assembly. The combustion products are vented from the heating system and condenser through the center of the coaxial tube, while the combustion air is supplied through the outside ring of the coaxial tube.
INSTALLATION important concideration if unit is used year round (domestic hot water production) where windows may be open. PP/PVC Concentric Elbow - joint fitting - • Termination of a vertical flue must provide at least 12 inches (30cm) above the roof jack to the combustion air intake collar.

INSTALLATION 4 - ALTERNATIVE FLUE CONNECTIONS Leaf Guard All combustion appliances consume a quantity of air proportional to their capacity. If unit is installed using inside make up air, ventilation louvers must be installed in confined areas according to code. To avoid corrosion, the combustion air must not contain any harmful agents. Halogenated hydrocarbons, containing combinations of chlorine or fluorine that are found in solvents, paints, glues, propellants, household cleaning products, etc. Fig.

INSTALLATION 5 CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION Connection of the condensate drain piping system is to the condensate drain tube in the rear of the unit beneath the flue/ combustion air separator tube assembly. The condensate drain tube provided in the unit is 1-19/32 inches (40 mm) outside diameter over which standard 1-1/2 inch trade size schedule 40 PVC pipe can be connected to begin the rest of the drain system. A trap must be provided to prevent leakage of combustion products into the drain.

DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT. Electrical power and control connections are made to pigtail leads that exit through holes in the right rear of the unit (facing the front of the unit).
INSTALLATION - START UP AND OPERATION UPPER LEFT REAR CORNER OF UNIT (Facing rear of unit) Fig. 41 8 - FUEL OIL SUPPLY CONNECTIONS The buner supplied with the unit is connected to the heating system. Lines are terminated with 3/8-inch reverse flare fittings for connection of the supply from the fuel oil tank. When connecting the line, a 10-micron spinon type oil filter must be installed in the oil supply line to minimize burner contamination.
START UP AND OPERATION - MAINTENANCE To start the heating system, first make sure the room thermostat is set at a high enough temperature to be closed so that any external water circulating pumps are running. Turn the heating system On-off switch to the “ON” position, and set the Heating System Temperature Control thermostat to its maximum temperature setting. Turn the Summer-winter switch to “WINTER”. This will start the internal circulating pump.
MAINTENANCE 1 - CLEANING THE HEATING SYSTEM SHELL • Remove the screws (B) from the cast-iron heating system shell cover (C) • Remove the flue outlet baffle (D) Note: If vacuuming be careful not to damage insulator, check for deterrieration and replace if needed • Remove the combustion baffles (E) clean, inspect and replace if deteriorated • Clean the inner walls of the heating system shell, remove any debrie that may have fallen to the bottom of the chamber • Reassemble all the parts the way they were remov
MAINTENANCE - OPERATING FAULTS Fig. 42 6 - COMBUSTION PRODUCT FLUE Examine the flue/combustion air system for leaks and obstructions. Leaks can generally be detected by the appearance of condensate stains on the outside of the pipes. Replace any damaged seals if necessary. The flue/combustion air pipe can be cleaned with running water, if necessary, providing that the water flow is not too great to be drained through the condensate drain system.
