Section 2 - LOCATING THE APPLIANCE 2.1 General Information The NeoTherm unit is designed for indoor installations only. The appliance should be located to provide clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection. It should not be located in an area where leakage of any connections will result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to lower floors of the structure. When such a location is not available, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The appliance is design certified by CSA-International for installation on combustible flooring; in basements; in closets, utility rooms or alcoves. NeoTherm Boilers must never be installed on carpeting. The location for the appliance should be chosen with regard to the vent pipe lengths and external plumbing and on a level surface. The unit shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.). When vented vertically, the NeoTherm must be located as close as practical to the vertical section of the vent. If the vent terminal and/or combustion air terminal terminate through a wall, and there is potential for snow accumulation in the local area, both terminals should be installed at an appropriate level above grade or the maximum expected snow line. The dimensions and requirements that are shown in Table 2 should be met when choosing the locations for the appliance. 2.2 Locating Appliance for Correct Vent Distance from Outside Wall or Roof Termination The forced draft combustion air blower in the appliance has sufficient power to vent properly when the guidelines in Table 3 are followed. NOTE: When located on the same wall, the NeoTherm combustion air intake terminal must be installed a minimum of 12” below the exhaust terminal.Models 399- 850 also require a minimum horizontal distance from intake to exhaust terminal of 36”. For concentric vent terminal kit (optional), follow installation instructions included with the kit.   APPLIANCE SUGGESTED SERVICE ACCESS CLEARANCE   SURFACE INCHES CM   Left Side 1 2.5   Right Side 12 31   Top 24 61   Back 6 15   Closet, Front (285-500) 6 15   Alcove, Front (285-500) 24 61   Front (600-850) 24 61   Vent – – Certified by CSA for zero clearance to combustible materials on all sides.   INTAKE / EXHAUST STANDARD MAX EQUIV.

Installations in Canada require exhaust vent pipe that is certified to ULC S636. Intake (air) pipe must be PVC or CPVC that complies with ANSI/ASTM D1785 F441, ABS that complies with ANSI/ASTM D1527 or galvanized material. The installer must comply fully with the manufacturer’s installation instructions, including use of minimum exhaust length CPVC, to main- tain ANSI Z21.13 safety certification. Closet and alcove installations do not allow the use of PVC under any circumstances To calculate max equivalent length, measure the linear feet of the pipe, and add 5 feet (1.5m) for each 90°* elbow used. * For any combination of vent and intake lengths up to 40 equivalent feet, any even or uneven combination of length is allowed. For overall lengths greater than 40 equivalent feet, the exhaust may be up to 20 feet greater than the intake length. *Add 2 1/2 feet (.76 meters) for each 45 elbow used. Table 2. Clearances Table 3.

NEOTHERM Boilers and Water Heaters

Other methods of introducing combustion and ventilation air are acceptable, providing they conform to the requirements in the applicable codes listed above. In Canada, consult local building and safety codes or, in absence of such requirements, follow CAN/CSA B149. Ducted Combustion Air The combustion air can be taken through the wall, or through the roof. When taken from the wall, it must be taken from out-of-doors by means of the LAARS horizontal wall terminal, kit, See Table 6. See Table 3 to select the appropriate diameter air pipe. When taken from the roof, a field-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must be used to prevent entry of rain water. (See Figure 10) Use ABS, PVC, CPVC or galvanized pipe for the combustion air intake. (See Table 4.) The pipe should be sized per Table 2. Route the intake to the boiler as directly as possible. Seal all joints. Provide adequate hangers. The unit must not support the weight of the combustion air intake pipe. Maximum linear pipe length allowed is shown in Table 3. Subtract 5 allowable linear ft. (1.5m) for every elbow used. The connection for the intake air pipe is at the top of the unit. In addition to air needed for combustion, air shall also be supplied for ventilation, including air required for comfort and proper working conditions for personnel. Refer to the applicable codes. 3.3 Venting The NeoTherm is a Category IV appliance and may be installed with PVC and CPVC that complies with ANSI/ ASTM D1785 F441, polypropylene that complies with ULC-S636 Class IIb, or a stainless steel venting system that complies with UL 1738 Standard. (See Table 5) The unit’s vent can terminate through the roof, or through an outside wall. When using PVC/CPVC for vent material, venting must be Figure 10. Combustion Air and Vent Through Roof INSTALLATION STANDARDS MATERIAL UNITED STATES CANADA Stainless Steel UL 1738 Venting must be ULC-S636 certified for use as PVC, sch 40 ANSI/ASTM D1785 venting material. The venting material class must be CPVC, sch 40 ANSI/ASTM F441 chosen based upon the maximum flue gas temperature Polypropylene ULC-S636 and the intended application of the boiler. Figure 11. Required Exhaust Vent Material * * * * * * * In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA B199.1 WARNING Failure to use polypropylene CPVC or stainless steel venting for the first 20” (285-600) / 30” (199 / 210) of vent material or for any part of the venting that is installed inside a closet may lead to property damage, personal injury or death. The proper length of this material is supplied with boiler. Boilers in the U.S. may use pipe included with the boiler. Failure to use the appropriate vent material, installation techniques, glues/sealants could lead to vent failure causing property damage, personal injury or death. All venting must be installed according to this manual and any other applicable local codes, including but not limited to, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, CSA B149.1, CSAB149.2 and ULC-S636. Failure to follow this manual and applicable codes may lead to property damage, severe injury, or death. The flue temperature of the NeoTherm changes dramatically with changes in operating water temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the application of the boiler to determine the required certified vent class. If the NeoTherm is installed in an application where the ambient temperature is elevated, and/or installed in a closet/alcove, polypropylene, CPVC or stainless steel material is required. If the system temperatures are unknown at the time of installation, Class IIB or higher venting material is recommended.

LAARS Heating Systems

connected to the CPVC section included with NeoTherm sizes 80-850. The CPVC vent section included with the NeoTherm may be broken by CPVC fittings if necessary, but never reduced in total length. See Table 3 to select the appropriate vent pipe diameter. When using polypropylene, all vent material must be produced by the same manufacturer, and have a ULC-S636 rating. All installations should be done following the vent supplier’s recommended installation techniques. If manufacturer’s instructions are not available for the material used, follow the Laars recommendations. The vent pipe must pitch upward, toward the vent terminal, not less than 1/4” per foot, so that condensate will run back to the NeoTherm to drain. Route vent pipe to the heater as directly as possible. Seal all joints and provide adequate hangers as required in the venting system manufacturer’s Installation Instructions. Horizontal portions of the venting system must be supported to prevent sagging and may not have any low sections that could trap condensate. The unit must not support the weight of the vent pipe. Please see Table 2 for proper diameter vs. length allowed. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMMON VENTING: A single vent that is shared by multiple NeoTherm units MUST be engineered by a competent venting specialist, and involves the selection of draft inducing equipment, hardware and controls to properly balance flue gas pressures. Do not common vent NeoTherm units unless the vent system meets this requirement. NeoTherm units are never permitted to share a vent with Category I appliances. Venting Requirements Unique to Canada NeoTherm boilers and water heaters are Vent Category IV appliances. Per the requirements of CAN/CSA-B149.1, only BH vent systems can be connected to these units and such vent systems, either ULC S636 certified stainless steel or other ULC S636 certified BH vent (eg. plastics) must be installed per the vent manufacturer’s certified installation instructions. As a result, two items listed in the Unpacking section (Figure 7) are not included with NeoTherm units for Canada (underlined): A exhaust vent terminal (not included) B. air intake terminal C. temperature/pressure gauge kit D. circulator pump/wire harness (units with pump) E. CPVC exhaust pipe section (80-500) (not incl.) F. outdoor/system sensor kit G. flow switch kit (399-850) H. alternate size vent/terminal screens J. exhaust vent adapter CPVC/ST ST (750-850) It is the responsibility of the appropriately licensed technician installing this NeoTherm unit to use ULC S636 certified vent material consistent with the requirements as described in the Venting and Combustion Air section. Class I venting systems are suitable for gas-fired appliances producing flue gas temperature of more than 135°C, but not more than 245°C. Class II venting systems are suitable for gas-fired appliances producing flue gas temperatures of 135°C or less. Class II venting systems are further classified into four temperature ratings as follows: A Up to and including 65°C B Up to and including 90°C C Up to and including 110°C, and D Up to and including 135°C IMPORTANT! It is also the responsibility of the installer to ensure that a flue gas sampling port is installed in the vent system. This flue gas sampling port must be installed near the flue connection of the NeoTherm unit: within 2 feet of the flue connection. There is no flue gas sampling port internal to the NeoTherm, so one must be installed in the vent system external to the NeoTherm unit. A flue gas sampling port available as a component of the ULC S636 certified vent system is preferred. However, if one is not available with the certified vent system, Laars suggests using a tee with the branch connection sized to allow for insertion of a flue gas analyzer probe. The branch connection must be resealable with a cap or other by other means to ensure the vent system remains sealed. (See Figure 12) Consideration must be given to the placement and orientation of the flue gas sampling port to ensure that condensate is free to flow back into the NeoTherm unit and not collect anywhere in the vent system - including in the flue gas sampling port. Figure 12. Test Port - ULC-S636 system

NEOTHERM Boilers and Water Heaters

An exhaust vent terminal must be installed. If an exhaust vent terminal is not available with the certified vent system, Laars suggests the use of a coupler fitting from the certified vent system into which the vent terminal screen, included with the NeoTherm and shown in the Unpacking section, be installed. Be sure to install and terminate both vent and combustion air pipes per the Venting and Combustion Air section of the NeoTherm instructions. 3.4 Locating Vent and Combustion Air Terminals Side Wall Vent Terminal The appropriate Laars side wall vent terminal must be used. The terminal must be located in accordance with ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and applicable local codes. In Canada, the installation must be in accordance with CSA B149.1 or .2 and local applicable codes. Consider the points listed on the following page when installing the terminal. 1. Figure 13 shows the requirements for mechanical vent terminal clearances for the U.S. and Canada. 2. Vent terminals for condensing appliances or appliances with condensing vents are not permitted to terminate above a public walkway, or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard. 3. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot be drawn into air conditioning system inlets. 4. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot enter the building through doors, windows, gravity inlets or other openings. Whenever possible, avoid locations under windows or near doors. 5. Locate the vent terminal so that it cannot be blocked by snow. The installer may determine that a vent terminal must be higher than the minimum shown in codes, depending upon local conditions. 6. Locate the terminal so the vent exhaust does not settle on building surfaces or other nearby objects. Vent products may damage surfaces or objects. 7. If the boiler or water heater uses ducted combustion air from an intake terminal located on the same wall. If the vent termination is located in an area exposed to high winds, an optional PVC tee (the same diameter as the vent pipe) may be used. The tee’d vent termination offers greater protection from wind related operating issues. Side Wall Combustion Air Terminal The LAARS side wall combustion air terminal, or concentric terminal must be used when the heater takes air from a side wall. (See page 10 ) Contact Laars for AL29-4C termination fittings. Consider the following when installing the terminal. (See Figure 13 throuFigure 15.) 1. Do not locate the air inlet terminal near a source of corrosive chemical fumes (e.g., cleaning fluid, chlorine compounds, etc.) 2. Locate the terminal so that it will not be subject to damage by accident or vandalism. It must be at least 7 feet (2.1m) above a public walkway. 3. Locate the combustion air terminal so that it cannot be blocked by snow. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that it be at least 12 inches (30cm) above grade, but the installer may determine it should be higher, depending upon local conditions. 4. If the NeoTherm is side-wall vented to the same wall, locate the vent terminal at least 1 foot (0.3m) above the combustion air terminal. 5. For concentric vent, follow instructions included with vent kit. 6. Multiple vent kits should be installed such that the horizontal distance between the outlet group and the inlet group is 36” (90cm). (Figure 14.) 7. The vent outlet for models 199-285 must be no lower than the center of the air inlet, and must be at least 12” (30cm) away from the air inlet. Vent outlets for models 399-850 must be at least 12” above the top of the air inlet, and must be at least 36” (90cm) horizontally from the air inlet. (page 15.) Vertical Vent Terminal When the unit is vented through the roof, the vent must extend at least 3 feet (0.9m) above the point at which it penetrates the roof. It must extend at least 2 feet (0.6m) higher than any portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 10 feet (3.0m), and high enough above the roof line to prevent blockage from snow. The vent terminal included with the NeoTherm can be used in both vertical and horizontal applications. When the combustion air is taken from the roof, the combustion air must terminate at least 12” (30cm) below the vent terminal. (See Figure 10.) Vertical Combustion Air Terminal When combustion air is taken from the roof, a field-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must be used to prevent entry of rain water. (Figure 10.) The opening on the end of the terminal must be at least 12” (30cm) above the point at which it penetrates the roof, and high enough above the roof line to prevent blockage from snow. When the vent terminates on the roof, the combustion air must terminate at least 12” (30cm) below the vent terminal. Installations in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts In Massachusetts the following items are required if the side-wall exhaust vent termination is less than seven (7) feet above finished grade in the area of the venting, including but not limited to decks and porches. From Massachusetts Rules and regulations 248 CMR 5.08 (begininning on 2nd page following):

Section 4 - GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING Gas piping should be supported by suitable hangers or floor stands, not the appliance. Review the following instructions before proceeding with the installation. 1. Verify that the appliance is fitted for the proper type of gas by checking the rating plate. NeoTherm will function properly without the use of high altitude modification at elevations up to 10,000 feet (3050 m). 2. The maximum inlet gas pressure must not exceed 13” W.C. (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet gas pressure is 4” W.C. (1.0kPa). 3. Refer to Table 7 to size the piping. 4. Run gas supply line in accordance with all applicable codes. 5. Locate and install manual shutoff valves in accordance with state and local requirements. 6. A sediment trap must be provided upstream of the gas controls. 7. All threaded joints should be coated with piping compound resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gas. 8. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.45kPa). 9. The unit must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.45kPa). 10. The appliance and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing it in operation. 11. Purge all air from gas lines. WARNING: Open flame can cause gas to ignite and result in property damage, severe injury, or loss of life. NOTE: The NeoTherm appliance and all other gas appliances sharing the gas supply line must be firing at maximum capacity to properly measure the inlet supply pressure. The pressure can be measured at the supply pressure port on the gas valve. Low gas pressure could be an indication of an undersized gas meter, undersized gas supply lines and/or an obstructed gas supply line. Some NeoTherm units are equipped with low and high gas pressure switches that are integrally vent limited. These types of devices do not require venting to atmosphere. 3.5 Common Vent Test NOTE: This section does not describe a method for common venting NeoTherm units. It describes what must be done when a unit is removed from a common vent system. NeoTherm units require special vent systems and fans for common vent. Contact the factory if you have questions about common venting NeoTherm units. When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation. 1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system. 2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition. 3. Insofar as it is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers. 4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously. 5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe. 6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use. 7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so that the installation conforms to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/ or CSA B149.1, Installation Codes. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the mini- mum size as determined using the appropriate tables and guidelines in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Installation Codes.

NeoTherm’s efficiency is higher with lower return water temperatures. Therefore, to get the most of low return temperature with multiple boilers, pipe as shown in Figures 17-19. NeoTherm NTV models 150-500 can be ordered with or without a pump included. NeoTherm NTH models 80-500 can also be ordered with or without a pump included. NeoTherm with a pump MUST be piped in a primary- secondary fashion (using either piping or a hydraulic separator) such that the pump that is mounted on the boiler ONLY serves the boiler. When the pump is supplied by Laars, the NeoTherm boiler must be located within 15 feet (4.6m) of the supply and return header (or the hydraulic separator). Pumps supplied by Laars are sized for a maximum of 30 feet (9.1m) of connection size piping and the headloss of the boiler only. (See Table 10.) If longer pipe lengths are required, the pump should be sized for the boiler and for the piping it will serve, and should be supplied to job separately. Even with pumps supplied by others, Laars strongly recommends primary-secondary piping. 6A.2 NTH Cold Water Make-Up 1. Connect the cold water supply to the inlet connection of an automatic fill valve. 2. Install a suitable back flow preventer between the automatic fill valve and the cold water supply. 3. Install shut off valves where required. The boiler piping system of a hot water heating boiler connected to heating coils located in air handling appliances where they may be exposed to refrigerated air circulation must be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle. A boiler installed above radiation level, or as required by the authority having jurisdiction, must be provided with a low water cutoff device either as a part of the boiler or at the time of boiler installation.

Water Connection Pipe Sizes Section 6A - WATER CONNECTIONS - NTH BOILER Section 6 is divided into two parts. Section 6A covers NTH units designed for hydronic heating. Section 6B covers NTV models, which are designed exclusively for “volume water” domestic hot water applications. Refer to the proper section for instructions on installing and piping your product. Refer to Table 9 for the connection pipe sizes required. 6A.1  NTH System Piping -   Hot Supply Connections NOTE: This appliance must be installed in a closed pressure system with a minimum of 12 psi (82.7kPa) static pressure at the boiler. Hot water piping should be supported by suitable hangers or floor stands. Do not support piping with this appliance. Due to expansion and contraction of copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type of hangers used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise through the system resulting from the piping sliding in the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used when rigid hangers are installed. Maintain 1” (2.5cm) clearance to combustibles for hot water pipes. Pipe the discharge of the relief valve (full size) to a drain or in a manner to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief. Install an air purger, an air vent, a diaphragm-type expansion tank, and a hydronic flow check in the system supply loop. Minimum fill pressure must be 12psig (82.7kPa). Install shutoff valves where required by code.

NEOTHERM Boilers and Water Heaters

6A.3 Condensate Drain A condensate drain trap is built into the NeoTherm unit. Connect a 3/4” PVC pipe between the drain connection and a floor drain (or a condensate pump if a floor drain is not accessible). The condensate drain must be installed so as to prevent accumulation of condensate. When a condensate pump is not used, the tubing must continuously slope downward toward the drain with no spiraling. Consult local codes for the proper disposal method for the condensate. Caution Condensate is mildly acidic (pH = 5), and may harm some floor drains and/or pipes, particularly those that are metal. Ensure that the drain, drainpipe, and anything that will come in contact with the condensate can withstand the acidity, or neutralize the condensate before disposal. Damage caused by failure to install a neutralizer kit or to adequately treat condensate will not be the manufacturer’s responsibility. 6A.4 Freeze Protection WARNING Glycol must not be used in domestic hot water applications. Refer to Section 6B.4 for instructions on NTV, domestic hot water freeze protection. NeoTherm units are certified for indoor use only, and are not design-certified for placement outdoors. Proper precautions for freeze protection are recommended for boiler installations in areas where the danger of freezing exists. Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure of system components, activation of safety devices, etc., may prevent a boiler from firing. Any time a boiler is subjected to freezing conditions, and the boiler is not able to fire, and/or the water is not able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the boiler or in the pipes in the system. When water freezes, it expands which may result in bursting of pipes, or damage to the boiler, which could result in leaking or flooding conditions. Do not use automotive antifreeze. To help prevent freezing, Laars recommends the use of inhibited glycol concentrations between 20% and 35% glycol. Typically, this concentration will serve as burst protection for temperatures down to approximately -5°F (-20°C). If temperatures are expected to be lower than -5°F (-20°C), glycol concentrations up to 50% can be used. When concentrations greater than 35% are used, water flow rates must be increased to maintain a 20°F to 25°F temperature rise through the boiler. NOTE: Laars supplied pumps are not all capable of maintaining the reduced temperature rise required with glycol concentrations greater than 35%. If glycol concentrations required are greater than 35% a field supplied pump should be used. Caution Different glycol products may provide varying degrees of protection. Glycol products must be maintained properly in a heating system, or they may become ineffective. Consult the glycol specifications, or the glycol manufacturer, for information about specific products, maintenance of solutions, and set up according to your particular conditions. 6A.5 NTH Suggested Piping Schematics Figure 16 through Figure 22 show suggested piping configurations for NTH boilers. These diagrams are only meant as a guide. All components or piping required by local code must be installed. 6A.6 Recognized Chemicals The following manufacturers offer glycols, inhibitors, and anti foamants that are suitable for use in the NeoTherm.

not be warranted. If the water in use exceeds the conditions recommended, a water softener or other device should be installed to improve water quality. 6B.2 Piping Requirements Water piping should be supported by suitable hangers and floor stands. Do not support piping with the appliance. Due to expansion and contraction of copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type of hangers and supports used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise through the system resulting from piping sliding in the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used when rigid hangers are installed. Maintain 1” (2.5cm) clearance to combustibles for hot water pipes. Pipe the discharge of the relief valve (full size) to the drain or in a manner to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief. Install a diaphragm-type expansion tank, flow check, and shutoff valves where needed or as required by code. NeoTherm 150-500 can be ordered with pumps. Whether the Section 6B - WATER CONNECTIONS - NTV WATER HEATER Section 6 is divided into two parts. Section 6A covers NTH units designed for hydronic heating. Section 6B covers NTV models, which are designed exclusively for “volume water” domestic hot water applications. Refer to the proper section for instructions on installing and piping your product. Refer to Table 13 on page 18 for the connection pipe sizes required. 6B.1 NTV Water Quality NTV water heaters must be installed in water conditions of 10gpg hardness or less with a pH range of 8.2 to 9.5. Operating the NTV in water with higher hardness levels will cause heat exchanger fouling, erosion, or corrosion leading to premature component failure, reduced efficiency, heat exchanger failure or system failure. Failure of this type will Figure 23. DHW Piping, One Heater, One Vertical Tank NOTES: 1. Optional CWMU & Recirc. line location. 2. Locate NTV DHW sensor or remote aquastat well in lower 1/3 of tank. 3. Back flow preventer may be required - check local codes. 4. Thermal expansion tank may be required - check local codes. 5. Factory mounted pumps are sized for a max pipe length of 30’ total, 6-90° elbows, full pipe size. 6. Caution: Pump sizing must be based on water hardness at job site. WARNING: This drawing shows suggested piping configuration and valving. Check with local codes and ordinances for additional requirements.

factory pumps or other pumps are installed, the piping should be installed such that the pump supplies flow to the heater it is attached to only. The factory pumps are sized for 30 feet and 6 elbows of total pipe length, so the heater should be placed within 15 feet of the tank. If longer runs are required, a properly-sized field-supplied pump should be used. 6B.3 Cold Water Make-Up The cold water make-up may be connected to the tank or to the inlet of the boiler as shown in Figure 23 through Figure 26. Install back flow preventers and shut offs where needed or required by code. Pipe sizes may have to be increased to accomodate cold water make-up flow. 6A.4 Condensate Drain A condensate drain trap is built into the NeoTherm unit. Connect a 3/4” PVC pipe between the drain connection and a floor drain (or a condensate pump if a floor drain is not accessible). The condensate drain must be installed so as to prevent accumulation of condensate. When a condensate pump is not used, the tubing must continuously slope downward toward the drain with no spiraling. Consult local codes for the proper disposal method for the condensate. Caution Condensate is mildly acidic (pH = 5), and may harm some floor drains and/or pipes, particularly those that are metal. Ensure that the drain, drainpipe, and anything that will come in contact with the condensate can withstand the acidity, or neutralize the condensate before disposal. Damage caused by failure to install a neutralizer kit or to adequately treat condensate will not be the manufacturer’s responsibility. 6B.5 Freeze Protection NeoTherm heaters are not certified for outdoor installation, so the chance of freezing is minimized. In an event such as power outage, component failure or other issue when freezing is likely, the heater and system must be drained to avoid the risk of damage due to freezing. Glycol must not be used in volume water heating applications. 6B.6 NTV Suggested Piping Schematics Figure 24 through Figure 26 show suggested piping configurations for NTV boilers. These diagrams are only meant as guides. All components or piping required by local code must be installed. 6B.7 NTV Suggested Pumps Possible pumps for NTV sizes 600-850 are Grundfos model TP 40-160/2B, or for size 600 (only) is Armstrong model E22B. See Table 10 on page 17 for heater water flow and head requirements. Note - The head loss for the piping, fittings, and accessories must be calculated and added to the heater head loss to get the total required pump head. An undersized pump will result in insufficient flow. The can result in scale buildup and failure of the heat exchanger.

Section 7 - INSTALLATION AND WIRING 7.1 Installation Warnings 7.2 Main Power Connections Connect a 15A fused, 120-volt supply to the main power switch. (The hot leg is connected directly to the switch.) The neutral leg is connected directly to the white wire. The ground wire can be connected to the grounding lug on the control panel. (See Figure 27.) 7.3 Pump Connections and Operation The controller in the NeoTherm energizes the pump contacts when it receives a call for heat. Once the call for heat is satisfied, the pump will remain on for the defined pump overrun time. The Boiler Pump terminals (TB5 - max 7.4 FLA) are fed by 120V (violet wire) internally from the main power feed. The System and DHW contacts are dry contacts. Appropriate voltage must be supplied to the System and DHW pumps for proper operation. The System pump connections are located on terminal block 5 (TB5) in the control panel. (See Figure 27.) The System pump contacts are rated for 120Vac, 7.4 Amps. To use the contacts, power must be supplied on one terminal with the other terminal wired to the pump or a relay controlling the pump. The DHW pump connections are located on terminal block 5 (TB5) in the control panel and are rated for 120Vac, 7.4 Amps. To use the contacts, power must be supplied on one terminal, and the other terminal wired to the pump or a relay controlling the pump. Additional 120VAC circuits may be required for the pumps. WARNING The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, in the U.S. and with the latest edition of CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, in Canada. Do not rely on the gas or water piping to ground the metal parts of the boiler. Plastic pipe or dielectric unions may isolate the boiler electrically. Service and maintenance personnel, who work on or around the boiler, may be standing on wet floors and could be electrocuted by an ungrounded boiler. Electrocution can result in severe injury or death. Single pole switches, including those of safety controls and protective devices, must not be wired in a grounded line. All electrical connections are made on the terminal blocks that are located inside the control panel. Wiring connections are shown in Figure 34. All internal electrical components have been prewired. No attempt should be made to connect electrical wires to any other location except the terminal blocks. Caution The supply voltage to the NeoTherm unit must not be disconnected, except for service or isolation, or unless otherwise instructed by procedures outlined in this manual. To signal a call for heat, use the 24V field interlock, as shown in the wiring diagram. DO NOT MAKE AND BREAK THE LINE VOLTAGE TO THE NEOTHERM UNIT TO SIGNAL A CALL FOR HEAT. A call for heat/ end call for heat MUST be connected to the field interlock terminals. Some NeoTherm components are designed to have constant voltage during normal operation. If the NeoTherm’s supply voltage is toggled as a call for heat signal, premature failure of these components may result. The NeoTherm unit does not recognize 4mA as a signal to shut off. If the call for heat is not connected between the field interlock terminals, the NeoTherm will remain in low fire when it sees 4mA as a modulating signal. 7.4 Hydronic Heating Using External Modulation Control - About External Control - When the NeoTherm is used for hydronic heating with external modulation control, a call for heat must be supplied to the “T-T or Interlock” terminal. Once the call is supplied the control starts the Boiler and System pumps and begins the ignition process. Once in Run, the NeoTherm monitors the flame signal, call for heat, safeties, and water temperatures. The boiler setpoint is used to limit the maximum water temperature leaving the boiler only. The modulation rate is controlled by a 4-20mA signal supplied by an external control. (This can also be 0-10Vdc using a converter - Laars part number CA006100.) When setting up a system using an external control, take care to set Anti-Short Cycle feature to prevent “hunting “ and possible premature component failure.

The connections are labeled Remote Analog Input. When making the connections, follow the polarity designations shown on the label. Terminal block 8 (TB8) in the control panel can be used for connecting optional components, such as low water cutoffs, flow switches, additional high limits and other field-supplied devices that must be interlocked with the boiler. These are non-powered dry contacts only. All safeties or end switches must be wired in series by removing the supplied jumpers. 7.6 Connections to a Building Automation System NeoTherm boilers can be controlled and monitored through the included Modbus ports. The Modbus wiring should be completed according to the diagrams shown below. If alternate communication protocols are desired, Laars offers “gateways” to allow BACnet, LON, and other communications protocols. For additional information on setting up Modbus and other communication protocols, contact the factory. Signals from a Building Automation System can be connected to the MB2 Modbus connections on the controller. See Figure 28. (MB1 is used to connect to the Operator Interface (UI). If multiple boilers are connecting in a cascading Lead/ Lag arrangement, the signals from the Building Automation System must be brought in through a System Display.

Low demand - The first boiler in sequence fires at less than 65% First boiler Second boiler Demand increases - Once the first boiler reaches 65%, the second boiler switches on, and both modulate together between 20% and 65% Nearing max. demand - Once both reach 65%, then they are both allowed to go over 65% About Lead/Lag Operation About Lead/Lag Operation - If an installation includes two or more boilers, they may be set up for “Lead/Lag” operation. One boiler will be set up as the “Master”, and the others will operate as “Slaves.” Figure 35 shows an installation with eight boilers. (A Lead/Lag system can include up to eight boilers.) The boiler controllers are connected in a “daisy chain” using a Modbus connection. A single System sensor is used to monitor the demand for heat. The input from this sensor is used by the Master controller to control the modulation rates of all of the operating boilers. Lead/Lag Modulation Cycle - Note - We will explain the modulation cycle here, in case you need to understand how the Lead/Lag system actually operates. If you are installing the unit(s) and want to skip this section, just remember that, as the heating demand increases, the Lead/Lag system puts more boilers on-line. As the heating demand is reduced, the Lead/Lag system shuts off some of the boilers. The signal from the System sensor is sent to the unit operating as the Lead/Lag Master. A Run sequence is initiated when the system temperature falls to the Lead/ Lag Central Heat setpoint. (Actually this is the LL CH setpoint less the On Hysteresis value. The default setting for On Hysteresis is 5°F, but this is adjustable.) Notice that, when a boiler is operating as part of a Lead/Lag system, it does not use the normal CH setpoint – it uses the special LL CH setpoint on the Lead/Lag Master. The unit acting as the Lead/Lag Master decides which boiler is assigned to start first. This assignment is rotated across all of the available boilers so that any one boiler does not run significantly longer than the others. The Lead/Lag controller tracks the run times for all of the boilers, and uses this to calculate the starting order for the boilers. This means that each time the system starts up, a different boiler may start first. Figure 36. “Lead/Lag” Operation in a System with Eight Boilers. Note: The Displays on Boilers 2 through 8 will display information pertaining only to that specific boiler. Touch Screen Lead Lag Master Addr 1 Addr 2 Addr 3 Boiler 4 Addr 4 Boiler 5 Addr 5 Boiler 6 Addr 6 Boiler 7 Addr 7 Boiler 8 Addr 8 Boiler 3 Boiler 2 Boiler 1 Caution You should set the Modbus addresses before you connect the Modbus wiring. If the wiring is attached before the Modbus addresses on the controls are changed, there will be multiple controls with the same address, and the system will not work. WARNING If the Modbus addresses are not assigned properly, the system could fail to operate correctly, or it might operate in an unsafe manner. This could lead to property damage, personal injury or death.

After this, the entire configuration of boilers will modulate up or down together, in reaction to the changes in demand. Control Settings for Lead/Lag System - Part 1 1. Power up all of the boilers in the system. 2. In an installation with several boilers, you must give each boiler a different name, sot that the controller of the Lead/Lag Master can communicate with the other units. All of the units come from the factory with a Modbus address of “1,” so you will need to change some of these addresses. On each unit, go to the screen for “System ID and Access,” and enter a unique name. 3. The unit operating as the Lead/Lag Master must be ‘Master Enabled’ first and then set up address “1,” and the other boilers should each be ‘Slave Enabled’ and have unique Modbus address numbers typically 2 through X (total number of boilers)

The controller in each boiler includes two wiring terminals for the Modbus system, labeled “MB1” and “MB2.” MB1 has the wiring connections to the User Interface display on each unit, and MB2 is used to communicate with the other boilers in the Lead/Lag system. To reach the controller, open the cabinet of the boiler by turning the door lock and then opening the doors. The wiring from the controller on the first boiler runs to the controller on the next boiler. Use 22 AWG or thicker shielded twisted-pair wire with drain. Two twisted pairs or three conductors are needed. Wire A on MB2 of Boiler 1 must be connected to A on MB2 of Boiler 2, wire B on Boiler 1 goes to B on Boiler 2, and wire C on Boiler 1 goes to C on Boiler 2.

8.10.1 – Combustion Setup Procedure In this section, we will explain how to set up the gas valve so the boiler will run efficiently at both the High Fire and Low Fire conditions. Required tools: Screwdrivers, Torx bits, Allen Wrench Set, Combustion Analyzer WARNING Improper adjustment may lead to poor combustion quality, increasing the amount of carbon monoxide produced. Excess carbon monoxide levels may lead to personal injury or death. 1. On the Main Gas Valve, locate the adjustments for high fire throttle, and low fire offset. Refer to Table 1 for appropriate CO2 ranges. 2. Press the Control Icon at the center of the Home Screen. Menu 25. ‘Home’ screen 3. The system will present the Status Summary screen. Menu 26. Status Summary Screen 4. Press the ‘Configure’ button in the lower left corner. Menu 27. Configuration Menu 5. NeoTherm is equipped with a zero governing, negative regulator valve. The valve throttle should be adjusted only at high fire, and the offset adjustment is only to be done at low fire. From the “Home” screen, touch the control icon, then press the ‘Operation’ button. From the ‘Operation’ Menu, you can select ‘Firing Rate’ which will prompt you for a password. Once installer level password has been entered, press the ‘Firing Rate’ box again. 6. Press the box for Firing Rate again. The controller will present the Manual Firing Rate screen shown in Figure 41 Menu 28. Manual Firing Rate 7. Notice the three options on the left side of the screen: Auto - The firing rate will be set automatically by the controller, based on the heat load. Set this item to

Auto at the end of the test. Manual in Run - The Manual in Run control will only set the fan speed when the control has proven flame and the unit has entered the Run mode. Manual in Run and Standby - Using this setting, the manual control will set the fan speed whether the boiler is operating or not. For this test, select Manual in Run. 8. Type in a value for high fire RPM, which can be found on the ‘Modulation Configuration’ screen (see Section 8.7.7). (The actual RPM will not go this high – the control will limit the fan speed to the maximum set at the factory.) By using the manual control, and entering a high RPM value, this forces the burner to run at full combustion so you can adjust the gas valve for the correct CO2 output. Figure 41 shows the adjusting points on the gas valve. Adjust the High Fire screw to get the proper CO2 level for high fire. See Table 16 and Table 17. To raise the high fire CO2 level, turn the High Fire adjustment screw counter-clockwise. To lower the high fire CO2 level, turn the screw clockwise. 9. Repeat step 8, except this time set the fan speed RPM to 1200rpm. (Again, the actual RPM will not go this low – the control will limit the fan speed to the minimum set at the factory.) This will force the boiler to operate in low fire. Adjust the Low Fire screw so the CO2 matches Table 16 and Table 17. To raise the low fire CO2, turn the Low Fire adjustment screw clockwise. To lower the low fire CO2, turn the screw counter-clockwise. 10. The adjustment you made for the Low Fire setting could affect the High Fire setting, so you need to re-check the High Fire setting. Go back to the Operations screen and set the Firing Rate back to high fire. The CO2 should still be about at the level listed in Table 14 and Table 15. If the CO2 is not correct, repeat the steps listed above. 11. Set the Firing Rate back to 1200 RPM, and re- check the CO2 during Low Fire. 12. Once the CO2 values are correct for both High Fire and Low Fire, go back to the Operation screen and select Automatic operation. At this point, you have set up the burner for this boiler.

Important Note: The installer is responsible for identifying to the owner/operator the location of all emergency shutoff devices. WARNING Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Laars Heating Systems requires boilers and water heaters to be replaced, not repaired, if they have been partially or completely submerged. 9.2 First Operation Caution The initial setup must be checked before the unit is put in operation. Problems such as failure to start, rough ignition, strong exhaust odors, etc. can be due to improper setup. Damage to the boiler resulting from improper setup is not covered by the limited warranty. REQUIRED TOOLS: differential pressure gauge capable of reading negative 0.01 inches W.C. (0.002kPa), screw drivers, Torx bits, combustion analyzer. 1. Using this manual, make sure the installation is complete and in full compliance with the instructions and all local codes. 2. Determine that the appliance and system are filled with water and all air has been bled from both. Open all valves. 3. Observe all warnings on the Operating Instructions Section 9 - First Start Up and Adjustment 9.1 Filling the Boiler System 1. Ensure the system is fully connected. Close all bleeding devices and open the make-up water valve. Allow the system to fill slowly. 2. If a make-up water pump is employed, adjust the pressure switch on the pumping system to provide a minimum of 12 psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest point in the heating loop. 3. If a water pressure regulator is provided on the make- up water line, adjust the pressure regulator to provide at least 12 psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest point in the heating loop. 4. Open all of the bleeding devices on all radiation units at the high points in the piping throughout the system, unless automatic air bleeders are provided at these points. Note - There is an air bleed located on the left side of NeoTherm unit, on top of the water manifold. 5. Cycle the boiler pump on and off 10 times, 10 seconds on and 10 seconds off, to remove all air from the heat exchanger. Then run the system and appliance pumps for a minimum of 30 minutes with the gas shut off. WARNING Failure to remove all air from the heat exchanger could lead to property damage, severe injury or death. 6. Open all strainers in the circulating system, check the operation of the flow switch (if equipped), and check for debris. If any debris is present, clean it out to ensure proper circulation. 7. Recheck all air bleeders as described in Step 4. 9. Start up the boiler according to the procedure listed in this manual. Operate the entire system, including the pump, boiler, and radiation units for one hour. 11. Shut down the entire system and vent all radiation units and high points in the system piping, as described in Step 4. 12. Close the make-up water valve and check the strainer in the pressure reducing valve for sediment or debris from the make-up water line. Reopen the make-up water valve. 13. Check the gauge for correct water pressure and also check the water level in the system. If the height indicated above the boiler insures that water is at the highest point in the circulating loop, then the system is ready for operation.

If the appliance is not going to be used for extended periods in locations where freezing normally occurs, it should be isolated from the system and completely drained of all water. 6. Low water cutoffs, if installed, should be checked every year. Float-type low water cutoffs should be flushed periodically. 7. Inspect and clean the condensate collection, float switch and disposal system yearly. 8. When a means is provided to neutralize the condensate, ensure that the condensate is being neutralized properly. 9. Inspect the flue passages, and clean with a brush or vacuum if necessary. Sooting in flue passages indicates improper combustion. Determine the cause for this and correct it. 10. Inspect the vent system and air intake system, and ensure that all joints are sealed properly. If any joints need to be resealed, completely remove any existing sealing material, and clean the joint(s) with alcohol. Apply new sealing material, and reassemble. 10.2 Appliance Maintenance and Component Description Use only genuine LAARS replacement parts. Caution Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and danger- ous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. The gas and electric controls in the unit are engineered for long life and dependable operation, but the safety of equipment depends on their proper functioning. Only a qualified service technician should inspect the basic items listed below every year: a. Appliance control f. Flow switch b. Automatic gas valve g. Low water cutoff c. Pressure switches h. Burner d. Blower i. Heat exchanger e. Pump Burner Check the burner for debris. Remove the blower arm assembly to access the burner. Remove the four bolts connecting the blower to the arm. (See Figure 47.) Remove the five bolts which hold the burner arm in place. Pull the burner up and out. Clean the burner, if necessary, by blowing compressed air from the outside of the burner into the center, and wipe the inside clean with glass cleaner. A dirty burner may be an indication of improper combustion or dirty combustion air. Determine the cause of this, and correct it. If the burner gasket is damaged, replace it when replacing the burner. NOTE: When installing the burner, make sure the flange is aligned with the mating surface, as each is keyed to control the fit. Modulating Gas Valve / Venturi The modulating gas valve consists of a valve body that incorporates the On/Off gas flow control and a negative pressure regulator. It provides the air/gas ratio control in combination with the Venturi to the unit. It is designed to operate with a gas supply pressure between 4 and 13 inches w.c. To remove the gas valve and/or Venturi, shut off the 120 Volt power supply to the boiler. Turn off all manual gas valves connecting the boiler to the main gas supply line. Remove the front door of the boiler to gain access to the gas valve and Venturi. Disconnect the four flange bolts connecting the gas manifold pipe to the gas valve. Remove the electrical connections to the gas valve. Remove the bolts connecting the Venturi flange to the blower. This allows the entire gas valve and Venturi assembly to be removed to facilitate inspection and cleaning. Reassemble the valve/Venturi assembly in reverse order, making sure to include all gaskets and O-rings. Turn on the manual gas valves and check for gas leaks. Turn on the 120 Volt power. Place the unit in operation following the instructions in Section 9. Once the boiler is operating. check for leaks again and confirm that all fasteners are tight. Check the appliance setup according to Section 9. Appliance Control The NeoTherm unit has an integrated control that incorporates manual reset high limit control, operating temperature control, modulating control, ignition control, outdoor reset control, pump control and many other features. If any of these features are thought to be defective, please consult the

NEOTHERM Boilers and Water Heaters

factory for proper trouble shooting practices prior to replacing the control. If control replacement is required, turn off all power to the appliance and shut off all manual gas valves to the appliance. Remove the front door to the appliance and the plastic bezel and the control panel. Remove all wire connections from the control board. The control board connections are keyed to only allow connection in the proper location, but proper handling techniques should be used to avoid damage to the wiring or connectors. To remove the control, push in on the two tabs on the left side of the board to unlatch the clips from the control panel. Rotate the control around the fastening points on the right side of the control to remove the hooks from the control panel. To replace the control, repeat the steps listed above in the reverse orders making sure to connect all wires in the proper locations. Place the appliance in operation following the steps outlined in Section 9. Ignitor Assembly The ignitor assembly is a two rod system that consists of a ground rod and a spark rod (See Figure 47). To remove the ignitor assembly, shut off the 120 Volt power supply to the appliance. Turn off all manual gas valves connecting the appliance to the main gas supply line. Remove the front door of the boiler to gain access to the ignitor assembly. Remove the two wires connected to the assembly. Then remove the two bolts connecting the ignitor assembly to the burner door. If the old ignitor assembly is determined to be defective, install a new ignitor assembly (check that the spark gap is 3/16”). Replace the gasket if necessary. Flame Sensor The flame sensor is a single rod system. To replace the flame sensor electrode, shut off the 120 Volt power supply to the boiler. Turn off all manual gas valves connecting the boiler to the main gas supply line. Remove the front door of the boiler to gain access to the flame sensor electrode. Remove the flame sensor wire from the electrode. Remove the two bolts fastening the electrode to the burner doors. Remove and replace the old flame sensor gasket. If the old electrode is determined to be defective, install a new flame sensor electrode in the reverse order. Figure 47 - Burner Service 18 3/16” Ignitor Assembly

LAARS Heating Systems

Caution The ignitor and sensor may be hot, and can cause burns or injury. Transformer with Integral Circuit Breaker The appliance has a 24Vac transformer with integral 4 amp circuit breaker installed to supply the control voltage required for the appliance. The transformer is sized to provide power for the NeoTherm unit only, and should not be used to supply power to additional field devices. If additional loads are added, or a short occurs during installation, the integral circuit breaker may trip. If this happens, be sure to reset the circuit breaker before replacing the transformer. The transformer is mounted underneath the control panel. If the transformer must be replaced, turn off the 120Vac power to the appliance. Remove the transformer wires from the terminal blocks. Remove the fasteners holding the transformer, then remove the transformer. Replace with a new transformer in the reverse order. If the transformer is replaced with a part other than the OEM transformer, be sure to add circuit protection if it is not integral to the new transformer. WARNING Failure to include proper circuit protection may lead to premature component failure, fire, injury or death. Blower The combustion air blower is a high-pressure centrifugal blower with a variable speed motor. The speed of the motor is determined by the control logic. 120 Volt power remains on to the blower at all times. If the blower must be changed, turn off the 120 Volt power and gas supply to the unit. Take the front panel off. Disconnect the 120 Volt and control signal connections from the blower. Disconnect the bolts connecting the Venturi to the blower housing. Disconnect the fan outlet bolts from the burner door blower arm. If the fan is determined to be defective, replace the existing fan with a new one, reversing the steps listed above. Be sure to install all of the required O-rings and gaskets between the blower arm and the blower and blower face and venturi flange. Heat Exchanger Coils Black carbon soot buildup on the heat exchanger is caused by one or more of the following; incomplete combustion, combustion air problems, venting problems, or heater short cycling. Soot buildup or other debris on the heat exchanger may restrict the flue passages. If black carbon soot buildup on the heat exchanger is suspected, disconnect the electrical supply to the unit, and turn off the gas supply by closing the manual gas valve on the unit. Access the heat exchanger through the burner door at the front of the boiler, and inspect the tubing using a flashlight. If there is a buildup of black carbon soot or other debris on the heat exchanger, clean using this procedure: WARNING Black carbon soot buildup on a dirty heat exchanger can be ignited by a random spark or flame. To prevent this from happening, dampen the soot deposits with a wet brush or fine water spray before servicing the heat exchanger. 1. Shut off the 120 Volt power supply to the boiler 2. Turn off all manual gas valves connecting the boiler to the main gas supply line. 3. For NT 600 models only: (All other sizes please skip to step four) NT 600 models will require the gas valve to be removed in order to remove the burner door. To do this, remove the wiring connections from the gas valve. Remove the flange bolts from the gas supply pipe connected to the gas valve (1B). Remove the flange bolts connecting the gas train to the Venturi (1A). Remove the gas train assembly, and keep the gaskets and O-rings. 4. Remove the four bolts connecting the blower flange to the burner door arm. 5. Remove the nuts located on the outside diameter of the burner door to the heat exchanger. 6. Remove the burner door and burner assembly from the heat exchanger. 7. Disconnect the condensate drain line. 8. Attach a longer hose to the drain and run it to a bucket. 9. Clean the heat exchanger by brushing away any light accumulations of soot and debris. Use a brush with soft bristles (non metallic) to avoid damaging the surfaces of the heat exchanger tubes. 10. Once the tubes have been brushed clean, rinse the tubes and combustion chamber with a small amount of water to rinse all of the debris out of the bottom of the flue collector and into the longer condensate trap line. This will be diverted into the separate container. NOTE: The Warranty does not cover damage caused by lack of required maintenance, lack of water flow, or improper operating practices. WARNING Failure to rinse the debris from the heat exchanger and temporary drain line may lead to clogged condensate lines, traps and neutralizers. Condensate pumps (if used) may also be damaged by the debris left behind, possibly causing property damage. 11. Install all components removed in the reverse order to place the appliance back in operation. Be sure all gaskets are in place as the components are installed. Replace any damaged gaskets. Do not reuse damaged gaskets.

NEOTHERM Boilers and Water Heaters

12. Place the appliance in operation according to the instructions in Section 10. Check all gas connections for leaks. Confirm that all fasteners are tight. Optional Gas Pressure Switches The high and low gas pressure switches are 24V manual reset switches that act to cut power to the gas valves if the gas pressure is too low or too high for proper operation. The gas pressure switches used are integrally vent limited, and do not require venting to atmosphere. To remove a switch, remove the screw on the plastic housing and pull the clear cover off. Disconnect the two wires from the screw terminals. Twist the switch off the pipe nipple. Reassemble in reverse order. For natural gas, set the low gas pressure switch to 3” w.c. For propane, set the low gas pressure switch to 5” w.c. For natural and propane, set the high gas pressure switch to 14”. 10.3 Gas Conversion NeoTherm units can easily be converted from natural to propane gas or from propane to natural gas in the field. Some units require the addition of a gas orifice along with proper gas valve adjustment. Other units require no additional parts - only proper gas valve adjustment. Please contact the Laars factory for specific information regarding the gas conversion of a particular appliance. If a gas conversion is performed, the unit must be identified with the appropriate gas labels and a conversion sticker to allow technicians performing maintenance in the future to properly identify the type of gas being used in the appliance.

Section 11 TROUBLESHOOTING 11.1 Lockouts, Holds, and Alerts The control system on the NeoTherm responds to three kinds of trouble indications: • LOCKOUT: A “lockout” is caused by a serious problem that might involve a safety issue. Once the controller enters a lockout, the burners will shut down, and will not be allowed to run again until the cause of the problem is corrected, and the control is manually reset. The controller will also lockout if you change a safety-related parameter, and the unit will require ‘Safety Verifi cation’ before the control will be allowed to operate. (For more information on verifi cation, see Section 9) During a lockout condition, the image of the affected controller on the ‘home’ screen will appear in red. A bell symbol will appear in the upper left-hand corner of the control screen. The system maintains a “history” of the 15 most recent lockouts. • HOLD: The system may enter a “hold” for a period of time before locking out. This allows the controller to see if the error becomes resolved prior to the hard lockout. Holds may also show during ignition sequence and normal operation, as the control moves from one task to another. • ALERT: An “alert” indicates that some feature of the control system’s operation was not correct, delayed or waiting for a response. This indicates a change in state of the control system and doesn’t necessarily mean there is a problem. For example, Alerts occur as the fan speed transitions from the pre-purge to the startup. This indicates that the control system is waiting for a condition to be satisfi ed. No Reset is required to recover from an alert. The system maintains a “history” of the 15 most recent alerts. Sometimes it can be helpful to check this list as a troubleshooting aid. 11.1.1 Responding to a Lockout, Hold, or Alert 1. If a problem occurs while the system is starting up, the system will declare a Hold. A brief explanation of the cause of the Hold will appear in an orange bar across the bottom of the screen. If you tap the orange bar, the system will present more information about the Hold. Correct the cause of the problem, and press the button on the screen to clear the Hold. 2. If a serious problem continues, the system will Lockout. A brief explanation of the cause of the Lockout will appear in an orange bar across the bottom of the screen. If you tap the orange bar, the system will present more information about the Lockout. Correct the cause of the problem, and press the Reset button. 3. If an Alert occurs while the system is running, the system will present a note across the bottom of the screen. If you tap the orange bar, the system will present more information about the Alert. Press the OK button to indicate that you have seen the Alert. 4. If an audible alarm on the display is active, you can use the Silence button to stop it. 12.1.2 Viewing the Lockout and Alert Histories If your boiler is in a Lockout status, the Home Screen will be look like Menu 1 1. To view the Lockout/Alert history, start at the ‘home’ screen Menu 1. Menu 1. ‘Home’ screen (shown in Lockout) 2.

11.3 Diagnostic Tests and Input/ Output Indicators Two kinds of screens are grouped together in this section: • Detailed indications of the input and output signals • Diagnostic tests of the pumps and burner modulation Note that these functions apply to just one selected controller. To access the diagnostic functions, from the home screen, touch the control icon, then touch the ‘Diagnostics’ button. 1. The buttons at the bottom of the screen select the types of inputs and outputs displayed. The Burner Control I/O button leads to Menu 8 Menu 8. Burner Control I/O Screen A green dot indicates a function that is “on.” 2. Press the Digital I/O button to see parameters with the functions that are either “on” or “off.” See Menu 9. Menu 9. Digital I/O Screen 3. The button for Analog I/O displays items that change continuously between two limits. See Menu 10 Menu 10. Analog I/O Screen 4. Press the button for Diagnostic Tests. The Modulation test allows you to change the rate at which the burner fi res, and watch the results. See Menu 11 Menu 11. Modulation Test 5. Press the Pump Test button.

11.4 Lead/Lag Slave Diagnostics The control system includes a diagnostic screen that lists some information on the Lead/Lag slaves in the system. See Menu 13 Menu 13. Lead/Lag Diagnostics Use the left- and right-arrows to see all of the columns in the display. 11.5 Statistics The controller can present some summary information about the operation of the system – number of pump cycles, number of burner cycles, etc. Menu 14. Statistics Confi guration Screen 11.6 Analysis The control system includes an Analysis branch that can display the behavior over a period of time for several different parameters: fan speed, outlet temperature, inlet temperature, etc. Menu 15. Analysis Setup Screen To use this function, select the parameter you want to track from the pull-down list. The system will present a graph that tracks that variable. To see the graph for the currently-selected function, press the View button. Menu 16. Trend Analysis Graph The time scale can be adjusted by pressing the Seconds button in the lower left-hand corner. 11.7 Control Snapshot The software allows you to take a “snapshot” of the current state of the controller, including setup information and operating information. This information can be helpful during troubleshooting. Menu 17 shows the Control Snapshot screen. Menu 17. Control Snapshot List Screen

LAARS Heating Systems

Select one of the controllers listed on the right side of the screen. Press one of the buttons below the right column to see the snapshot. See Menu 18. Menu 18. Typical Control Snapshot The Show Status button captures the current status of the I/O of the control only. Show Confi guration captures the current parameter settings and the control setup. You can save the snapshot, give it a name, or send a copy to the USB port. 11.8 Operating Sequence When there is a call for heat, the unit will close pump contacts to energize the customer supplied relay/contactor to start water fl ow. Once the LCI circuit (fl ow switch, gas pressure switches, LWCO, and High Limit aquastats) are completed the unit will start the blower and begin the ignition sequence. NeoTherm is equipped with a low and high fi re air pressure switch. The unit will pre-purge at 65% fan for 30 seconds and prove fan through the blocked intake switch. Once fan is proven, the blower will proceed to 24% and the 10 second Pre-ignition timer will begin to make the ignitor spark. Once the Pre-ignition timer has expired the control will open the Pilot solenoid and the Pilot Flame Establishing Period (PFEP) will start for 10 seconds to establish fl ame. Once fl ame has been established and the 10 second timer has expired the control will open the main valve and the Main Flame Establishing Period will begin for a period of 5 seconds. If fl ame is established within those 5 seconds then unit will proceed to Run, if fl ame does not establish the unit will post-purge to 100% for 30 seconds and the sequence for ignition will begin again. For Non CSD-1 units retry for ignition is 3 times before Lockout 109 (Ignition Failure) occurs. For CSD-1 units there is a single retry before Lockout 109 occurs.
