SECTION A: Before Installation

4 All Raypak heaters are National Board Approved, and design-certified and tested by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for the U.S. and Canada. Each heater is constructed in accordance with Section IV of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Heater Pressure Vessel Code and bears the ASME stamp. The heater also complies with the latest edition of ASHRAE 90.1 Standard. WARNING: Altering any Raypak pressure vessel by installing replacement heat exchangers, tube bundle head- ers, or any ASME parts not manufactured and/or approved by Raypak will instantly void the ASME and CSA ratings of the vessel and any Raypak warranty on the vessel. Al- tering the ASME or CSA ratings of the vessel also violates national, state, and local approval codes. Installations at Elevation Rated inputs are suitable for up to 4,500 ft elevation with- out de-rating. Consult the factory for installations at altitudes over 4,500 ft above sea level. No hardware changes are required to the heaters for installations up to 10,000 ft (adjustments may be required).

5 To meet commercial hot water use needs, the high limit safety control on this water heater is adjustable up to 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. When supplying general purpose hot water, the recommended initial setting for the control is 125°F. Safety and energy conservation are factors to be con- sidered when setting the water temperature on the thermostat. The most energy-efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is the lowest that satisfies the needs of the application. Water temperature over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. Children, disabled and eld- erly are at highest risk of being scalded. • Feel water before bathing or showering. • Temperature limiting valves are available. NOTE: When this water heater is supplying general purpose hot water for use by individuals, a thermostati- cally controlled mixing valve for reducing point of use water temperature is recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for further information. Maximum water temperatures occur just after the heater’s burner has shut off. To determine the water temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water faucet, place a thermometer in the hot water stream and read the thermometer. This section applies to Hot Water Supply Boilers and Hot Water Heaters ONLY. For sanitary rinse applica- tions where outlet temperatures of 180°F to 195°F are required, a boiler is recommended since the 210°F limit on water heaters will NOT allow the heater to maintain these desired sanitary rinse temperatures. Water temperature over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. Children, disabled, and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded. See instruction manual before set- ting temperature at water heater. Feel water before bathing or show- ering. Temperature limiting valves are available, see manual.

6 Time/Temperature Relationships in Scalds The following chart details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications. Water Temp. Time to Produce Serious Burn 120°F More than 5 minutes 125°F 1-1/2 to 2 minutes 130°F About 30 seconds 135°F About 10 seconds 140°F Less than 5 seconds 145°F Less than 3 seconds 150°F About 1-1/2 seconds 155°F About 1 second Table courtesy of The Shriners Burn Institute Table B: Time to Produce Serious Burn The temperature of the water in the heater can be regu- lated by using the Raypak Modulating Temperature Control. To comply with safety regulations, the control is set at 120°F when shipped from the factory (Mode 3 default setting for Tank Target). To adjust the water temperature, follow the instruction for the operation of the control starting on page 28 of this manual. The control is shown below for identifica- tion purposes only. (See Fig. 4.) Fig. 4: Modulating Temperature Control CAUTION: Hotter water increases the risk of scald- ing! There is a hot water scald potential if the thermostat is set too high.

9 Venting not shown for clarity. Heater must be vented per instructions in this manual Fig. 6: Minimum Clearances from Combustible Surfaces – Indoor and Outdoor Installations When installed according to the listed minimum clear- ances from combustible construction, these heaters can still be serviced without removing permanent structural construction around the heater. However, for ease of servicing, we recommend a clearance of at least 24 in. in front, at least 24 in. on the rear and 10 in. above the top of the heater. This will allow the heater to be ser- viced in its installed location without movement or removal of the heater. Service clearances less than the minimum may require removal of the heater to service either the heat ex- changer or the burner components. In either case, the heater must be installed in a manner that will enable the heater to be serviced without removing any struc- ture around the heater. Outdoor Installations These heaters are design-certified for outdoor installa- tion. Heaters must not be installed under an overhang that is less than 3 ft from the top of the vent terminal. Three sides must be open in the area under the over- hang. Roof water drainage must be diverted away from heaters installed under overhangs. Heater Side Min.

Combustion and Ventilation Air NOTICE: Use of the heater in construction areas where fine particulate matter, such as concrete or dry- wall dust, is present may result in damage to the burner that is not covered by the warranty. If operated in a construction environment, a clean source of combus- tion air must be provided directly to the heater. Indoor Units The heater must be supplied with sufficient quantities of non-contaminated air to support proper combustion and equipment ventilation. Combustion air can be sup- plied via conventional means where combustion air is drawn from the area immediately surrounding the heater, or via direct vent, where combustion air is drawn directly from outside. All installations must comply with the requirements of the NFGC (U.S.) and B149.1 (Canada), and all local codes.

SECTION C: Installation

10 CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty. (See Section H.) NOTICE: It is recommended that the intake vent be insulated to minimize sweating. Optional Construction Air Filter An optional construction air filter is available for use. The filter should be removed after construction is fin- ished to allow for unrestricted air flow to the heater. Direct Vent If outside air is drawn through the intake pipe directly to the unit for combustion: 1. Install combustion air direct vent in accordance with Fig. 24 (horizontal) or Fig. 25 (vertical) of this manual (pages 26 & 27 respectively). 2. Provide adequate ventilation of the space occupied by the heater(s) by an opening(s) for ventilation air at the highest practical point communicating with the outdoors. The total cross-sectional area shall be at least 1 in.2 of free area per 20,000 BTUH (111 mm2 per kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the room when the opening is communicating directly with the outdoors or through vertical duct(s). The total cross-sectional area shall be at least 1 in.2 of free area per 10,000 BTUH (222 mm2 per kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the room when the opening is communicating with the outdoors through horizontal duct(s). 3. In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freeze- up, Raypak highly recommends the installation of a motorized sealed damper to prevent the circula- tion of cold air through the heater during non- operating hours. TruSeal™ Combustion Air In addition to the 3 previous steps, combustion air may be ducted directly to the heater by using PVC, CPVC or sealed single-wall galvanized ducting. The duct will attach directly to the air collar located on the rear of the heater, using three or four sheet metal screws (not sup- plied) equally positioned around the circumference of the duct. The screen assembly should be removed be- fore attaching any air duct to the heater. The screws and duct connection point must be sealed with RTV (not supplied). TruSeal is generally used when damag- ing contaminants are present in the mechanical room. All ducting should be self-supported. CAUTION: Use TruSeal combustion air if damaging airborne contaminants are or may be present in the heater area. See Section H of this manual regarding air contamination. Conventional Combustion Air Supply U.S. Installations All Air from Inside the Building The confined space shall be provided with TWO per- manent openings communicating directly with an additional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for a room large in comparison (NFGC). The total input of all gas utilization equipment installed in the combined space shall be considered in making this determination. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in.2 per 1,000 BTUH (2,225 mm2 per kW) of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less than 100 in.2 (645 cm2). One open- ing shall commence within 12 in. (305 mm) of the top, and one opening shall commence within 12 in. (305 mm) of the bottom of the enclosure. The minimum dimension of air openings shall be not less than 3 in. (76 mm) in any direction. All Air from Outdoors The confined space shall communicate with the out- doors in accordance with one of the methods below. The minimum dimension of air openings shall not be less than 3 in. (76 mm) in any direction. Where ducts are used, they shall be at least of the same cross- sectional area as the net free area of the openings to which they connect. 1. Two permanent openings, one commencing within 12 in. (305 mm) of the top, and one com- mencing within 12 in. (305 mm) of the bottom of the enclosure, shall be provided. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors. a. Where directly communicating with the out- doors or where communicating to the outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in.2 per 4,000 BTUH (550 mm2 per kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.

SECTION C: Installation

11 b. Where communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in.2 per 2,000 BTUH (1,100 mm2 per kW) of total input rat- ing of all equipment in the enclosure. 2. One permanent opening, commencing within 12 in. (305 mm) of the top of the enclosure, shall be permitted where the equipment has clearances of at least 1 in. (25 mm) from the sides and back and 6 in. (152 mm) from the front of the appliance. The opening shall directly communicate with the out- doors or shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors, and shall have a minimum free area of: a. 1 in.2 per 3,000 BTUH (740 mm2 per kW) of the total input rating of all equipment located in the enclosure, and b. Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors in the confined space. WARNING: Do not use the “one permanent opening” method if the equipment room may be under negative pressure conditions. Canadian Installations CAUTION: All combustion air must be drawn from the air outside of the building; the mechanical equip- ment room must communicate directly with the outdoors. 1. Ventilation of the space occupied by the heater shall be provided by an opening(s) for ventilation air at the highest practical point communicating with the outdoors. The total cross-sectional area of such an opening(s) shall be at least 10% of the area required in 2. and 3. (below), but in no case shall the cross-sectional area be less than 10 in.2 (65 cm2). 2. For heaters using a barometric damper in the vent system there shall be a permanent air supply open- ing(s) having a cross section area of not less than 1 in.2 per 7,000 BTUH (320 mm2 per kW) up to and including 1 million BTUH, plus 1 in.2 per 14,000 BTUH (160 mm2 per kW) in excess of 1 million BTUH. This opening(s) shall be either located at or ducted to a point not more than 18 in. (450 mm) nor less than 6 in. (152 mm) above the floor level. The duct can also “goose neck” through the roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down and ter- minated 18 in. (450 mm) from the floor, but not near piping. This air supply opening requirement shall be in addition to the air opening for ventila- tion air required in 1. (above). WARNING: Care must be taken to ensure that the equipment room is not under negative pressure conditions. 3. For heaters not using a barometric damper in the vent system, and when air supply is provided by natural air flow from outdoors for a power burner and there is no draft regulator, drafthood or similar flue gas dilution device installed in the same space, in addition to the opening for ventilation air re- quired in 1., there shall be a permanent air supply opening(s) having a total cross-sectional area of not less than 1 in.2 for each 30,000 BTUH (74 mm2 per kW) of total rated input of the burner(s), and the location of the opening(s) shall not inter- fere with the intended purpose of the opening(s) for ventilation air referred to in 1. This opening(s) can be ducted to a point not more than 18 in. (450 mm) nor less than 6 in. (152 mm) above the floor level. The duct can also “goose neck” through the roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down 18 in. (450 mm) from the floor, but not near piping. 4. Refer to B149.1 for additional information. Water Piping General The heater should be located so that any water leaks will not cause damage to the adjacent area or structures. CAUTION: This heater requires forced water circula- tion when the burner is operating. See Table F for minimum and maximum flow rates for water pump selection. The pump should be interlocked with the heater to prevent heater operation without water circu- lation. NOTICE: Minimum pipe size for in/out connections is 2 in. NPT for 503 and 753 models and 2-½ in NPT for 1003 – 2003 models. Verify proper flow rates and ∆T as instructed in this manual.

SECTION C: Installation

12 Relief Valve Piping WARNING: Pressure relief valve discharge piping must be piped near the floor and close to a drain to eliminate the potential of severe burns. Do not pipe to any area where freezing could occur. Refer to local codes. Hydrostatic Test Unlike many types of heaters, this heater does not re- quire hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in operation. The heat exchanger has already been fac- tory-tested and is rated for 160 psi operating pressure. However, Raypak does recommend hydrostatic testing of the piping connections to the heater and the rest of the system prior to operation. This is particularly true for hydronic systems using glycol-based antifreeze. Raypak recommends conducting the hydrostatic test before connecting gas piping or electrical supply. Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to the heater. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak compounds. To perform hydrostatic test: 1. Connect fill water supply. With field-installed bleed valve open, fill heater with water. When wa- ter flows from bleed valve, shut off water. Close bleed valve. Carefully fill the rest of the system, making sure to eliminate any entrapped air by us- ing high-point air vents. Close feed valve. Test at standard operating pressure for at least 24 hours. 2. Make sure constant gauge pressure has been main- tained throughout test. 3. Check for leaks. Repair if found. Cold Water Operation CAUTION: Damage due to internal condensation may occur if the heater inlet water temperature does not exceed 120˚F (49ºC) within 7 minutes of start-up. This heater is equipped with a proprietary condensate evaporation system which will evaporate any conden- sate that may begin to accumulate inside the primary heat exchanger with water temperatures as low as 120ºF (49ºC). Heaters operated with an inlet temperature of less than 120ºF (49ºC) MUST have a manual bypass (see Fig. 14) or an approved low-temperature operation system to prevent problems with condensation. This piping is like a primary/secondary boiler installation with a by- pass acting as the secondary boiler piping. Raypak strongly recommends that thermometer(s) be placed into the heater piping next to the in/out header to facili- tate temperature adjustment. Inlet water temperatures below 120ºF (49ºC) can excessively cool the products of combustion, resulting in collection of condensate in the heat exchanger area beyond the capacity of the condensate evaporation system. NOTE: Vent piping MUST contain a condensate drain which is installed according to the vent manufac- turer’s instructions and plumbed to an appropriate condensate management system (field supplied). Failure to reach or exceed 120ºF (49ºC) within 7 min- utes may damage or cause failure of the heat exchanger, combustion chamber, or other parts within the combus- tion chamber. It can cause operational problems, bad combustion, sooting, flue gas leakage and reduced ser- vice life of the vent system. A bypass allows part of the heater discharge water to be mixed with the cooler wa- ter returning to the heater inlet to increase the heater inlet temperature above 120ºF (49ºC). This precaution- ary measure should prevent the products of combustion from condensing beyond the ability of the condensate management system employed in this heater in most installations. Warranty claims will be denied for damage or failures caused by condensation. Cold water operation issues are applicable to both cold water start and cold water run applications. Cold water operation for 7 minutes or less on initial daily start-up is acceptable. Where cold water starts will last longer than 7 minutes or where cold water operation is con- tinuous, provisions must be made to mix higher temperature outlet water with the colder inlet water and thereby raise the inlet temperature to at least 120ºF (49ºC) within the 7-minute time limit. Cold Water Starts Cold water starts, wherein the inlet water temperature remains below 120ºF (49ºC) for more than 7 minutes, must have cold water start protection. Known pro- tection methods consist of mixing heated outlet water with the inlet water with a bypass to raise the inlet to 120ºF (49ºC) or higher. Once the system is heated up and has return water temperatures of 120ºF (49ºC) or higher, the mixing of outlet water with inlet water is no longer needed and the bypass can be shut off. If the bypass is not shut off as the system heats up, the outlet temperature may continue to climb and trip the high limit, thereby shutting down the heater. Thus an auto-

SECTION C: Installation

13 matic valve system, such as a three-way proportional valve or a modulating two-way valve to control the bypass, should be utilized. Fig. 7: Cold Water Start Cold Water Run Cold water run differs from cold water start in that the system water entering the heater remains below 120ºF (49ºC) continuously. Typically, this is the case in swimming pool heating and water source heat pump applications as well as some others. If the system water is kept in a narrow temperature range of no more than 10ºF, a permanent manual bypass can be employed and manually adjusted to achieve an inlet temperature of 120ºF (49ºC) or higher as adjusted at the minimum temperature in this narrow temperature range (i.e. Range 75ºF – 85ºF – adjust bypass with temperature at 75ºF) so that when temperature is 85ºF, minimum inlet temperature would be 130ºF. An injector pump ar- rangement may also be utilized to keep the heater loop at or above 120ºF (49ºC). An injector pump approach has the added value of being able to adjust to changes in the system water coming back to the heater take-off.

14 Hydronic Heating Pump Selection In order to ensure proper performance of your heater system, you must install a correctly-sized pump. Ray- pak recommends designing for a ∆T within the range of 10°F to 40°F. See Table F for acceptable flow rates for each model (∆T is the temperature difference be- tween the inlet and outlet water when the heater is firing at full rate). Feedwater Regulator Raypak recommends that a feedwater regulator be in- stalled and set at 12 psi minimum pressure at the highest point of the system. Install a check valve or back flow device upstream of the regulator, with a manual shut-off valve as required by local codes. Piping All high points should be vented. A heater installed above radiation level must be provided with a low wa- ter cut-off device (sales order option F-10). The heater, when used in connection with a refrigeration system, must be installed so that the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the heater with appropriate valves to pre- vent the chilled medium from entering the heater. The piping system of a hot water heater connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to circulating refrigerated air, must be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the heater water during the cooling cycle. It is highly recommended that the piping be insulated. Air-Separation/Expansion Tank All heaters should be equipped with a properly sized expansion tank and air separator fitting as shown in Fig. 9. Fig. 9: Air-Separation/Expansion Tank Three-Way Valves Three-way valves intended to regulate system water temperatures by reducing flow in the boiler should not be used. Raypak heaters are high-recovery, low-mass heaters which are not subject to thermal shock. Fig. 10: Single Heater - Low-Temperature (Heat Pump) Application with Primary/Secondary Piping See Fig. 14 and instructions on page 16 for adjusting the manual bypass. Fig. 11: Dual Heaters (Reverse/Return) with Primary/Secondary Piping Domestic Hot Water When designing the water piping system for domestic hot water applications, water hardness should be con- sidered. Table G indicates the suggested flow rates for soft, medium and hard water. Water hardness is ex- pressed in grains per gallon.

15 Fig. 12: Single Domestic Hot Water Heater and Storage Tank Potable Water and Space Heating CAUTION: When this heater is used for both potable water and space heating, observe the following to en- sure proper operation. 1. All piping materials and components connected to the water heater for the space heating application shall be suitable for use with potable water. 2. Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable water used for space heating. 3. If the heater will be used to supply potable water, it shall not be connected to any heating system or components previously used with a non-potable water heating appliance. 4. When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than 140°F, a means such as a mixing valve shall be installed to temper the water in order to reduce scald hazard potential. Pool Heating When a boiler or water heater is used in a pool heating application, ensure that all the following installation requirements are met. CAUTION: Power to the heater should be interlocked with the main system pump to ensure the heater does not fire without the main system pump in operation. Improper flow control can damage the heater. Uncon- trolled flow (too high) or restricted flow (too low) can seriously damage the heater. Follow these instructions to make sure your heater is properly installed. The MVB must be equipped with a field-supplied ex- ternal pump and bypass arrangement. This arrangement blends outlet water with the inlet water to increase the inlet water temperature to a minimum of 120°F, thereby reducing the likelihood of condensation form- ing on the heat exchanger. The pump also serves to circulate water through the heater from the main sys- tem piping.

16 To complete the installation of the pool heater, the pool thermostat needs to be installed in the main return wa- ter line, upstream of the heater. This will ensure that the heater will be energized at the right time. Fig. 13: Single Pool Heater Application Adjustment of the manual bypass valve is critical to proper operation of the heater. The manual bypass valve should be adjusted to achieve a minimum inlet water temperature of 120°F and a system supply water temperature below 140°F. When starting with a cold pool, make initial adjustments. Make final adjustments when pool water approaches desired temperature. The use of a bypass is required for proper operation in a pool heating application. Use the following instruc- tions to set the manual bypass: 1. Turn on pump. 2. Turn on heater and wait until heater goes to full fire. 3. With the heater operating at 100% firing rate, set Valve A (the bypass) to ½ open position, and Valve B to fully open position. 4. Adjust Valve A until the inlet water temperature is 120°F. NOTE: Opening the valve will increase the temperature and closing the valve will decrease the temperature. 5. If this process does not raise the inlet water tem- perature to 120°F and Valve A is fully open, then slowly throttle Valve B closed to increase the inlet water temperature to 120°F. Fig. 14: “H” Bypass Setting Automatic Chlorinators and Chemical Feeders CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty. All chemicals must be introduced and completely di- luted into the pool or spa water before being circulated through the heater. Do not place chlorine tablets or bromine sticks in the skimmer. High chemical concen- trations will result when the pump is not running (e.g. overnight). Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater and have an anti-siphoning device to prevent chemical back-up into the heater when the pump is shut off. NOTICE: High chemical concentrates from feeders and chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause very rapid corrosion of the heat exchanger in the heater. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. Winterizing Your Heater Heaters installed outdoors as pool heaters in freezing climate areas should be shut down for the winter. To shut down heater, turn off manual main gas valve and main gas shut-off. Close isolation valves. Drain the heater using the hose bibs located on the bottom of the heat exchanger.

SECTION C: Installation

17 NOTE: There are 2 separate drains on the MVB that must BOTH be drained to protect the heat exchanger. These are both accessible by removing the lower front door from the heater. Drain any piping of all water that may experience below-freezing temperatures. Pool/Spa Water Chemistry NOTICE: Chemical imbalance can cause severe dam- age to your heater and associated equipment. Water Hardness Water hardness is mainly due to the presence of cal- cium and magnesium salts dissolved in the water. The concentration of these salts is expressed in mg/l, ppm or grains per gallon, as a measure of relative hardness of water. Grains per gallon is the common reference measurement used in the U.S. water heater industry. Hardness expressed as mg/L or ppm may be divided by 17.1 to convert to grains per gallon. Water may be classified as very soft, slightly hard, moderately hard or hard based on its hardness number. The salts in water will precipitate out when the water is heated and will cause accelerated lime and scale accumulation on a heat transfer surface. Raypak water heaters can operate lime/scale-free using potable water with a hardness not exceeding 20 grains per gallon. Proper operation is achieved by setting the temperature rise/water flow per the guidelines in the installation instructions. If the hardness of the water exceeds the maximum level of 20 grains per gallon special measures must be taken to adjust flow and tem- perature rise. Water should be softened to a hardness level no lower than 5 grains per gallon. Water softened as low as 0 to 1 grain per gallon may be under- saturated with respect to calcium carbonate resulting in water that is aggressive and corrosive. pH of Water pH is a measure of relative acidity, neutrality or alka- linity. Dissolved minerals and gases affect water’s pH. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Water with a pH of 7.0 is considered neutral. Water with a pH lower than 7 is considered acidic. Water with a pH higher than 7 is considered alkaline. A neutral pH (around 7) is desir- able for most potable water applications. Corrosion damage and water heater failures resulting from water pH levels of lower than 6 or higher than 8 are non- warrantable. The ideal pH range for water used in a storage tank or a copper water heater system is 7.2 to 7.8. Total Dissolved Solids Total dissolved solids (TDS) is the measure of all min- erals and solids that are dissolved in the water. The concentration of total dissolved solids is usually ex- pressed in parts per million (ppm) as measured in a water sample. Water with a high TDS concentration will greatly accelerate lime and scale formation in the hot water system. Most high TDS concentrations will precipitate out of the water when heated. This can gen- erate a scale accumulation on the heat transfer surface that will greatly reduce the service life of a water heater. This scale accumulation can also impede ade- quate flow of water and may totally block the water passages in the tubes of the heat exchanger. A heat exchanger that is damaged or blocked by lime/scale accumulation must be replaced. Failure of a water heater due to lime scale build up on the heating surface is non-warrantable. The manufacturer of the water heater has no control of the water quality, especially the TDS levels in your system. Total dissolved solids in excess of 2,500 ppm will accelerate lime and scale formation in the heat exchanger. Heat exchanger fail- ure due to total dissolved solids in excess of 2,500 ppm is a non-warrantable condition. Raypak offers basic temperature guidelines for operation of a potable water heater on normal to moderate levels of hardness and solids but levels of hardness and total dissolved solids beyond normal limits for operation will require special setup and operation. NOTICE: Failure of a heat exchanger due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH or other chemical imbalance is non-warrantable. Gas Supply DANGER: Make sure the gas on which the heater will operate is the same type as specified on the heater’s rating plate. Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the heater gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve lo- cated outside the heater jacket. It is recommended that a union be installed in the gas supply piping adjacent to the heater for servicing. The gas supply pressure to the heater must not exceed 10.5 in. WC for Natural Gas or 13.0 in. WC for Propane Gas. A pounds-to-inches regulator must be installed to reduce the gas supply pressure if it is higher than noted above. This regulator should be placed a minimum distance of 10 times the pipe diameter upstream of the heater gas controls. Refer to Table H for maximum pipe lengths.

SECTION C: Installation

18 Gas Supply Connection CAUTION: The heater must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). The heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the upstream manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). Relieve test pressure in the gas supply line prior to reconnecting the heater and its manual shut-off valve to the gas supply line. FAILURE TO FOL- LOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE. Over-pressurized gas valves are not covered by warranty. The heater and its gas connec- tions shall be leak-tested before placing the appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test. DO NOT use an open flame. Fig. 15: Gas Supply Connection CAUTION: Do not use Teflon tape on gas line pipe thread. A pipe compound rated for use with natural and propane gases is recommended. Apply sparingly only on male pipe ends, leaving the two end threads bare. CAUTION: Support gas supply piping with hangers, not by the heater or its accessories. Make sure the gas piping is protected from physical damage and freezing, where required. Gas Supply Pressure A minimum of 4.0 in. WC and a maximum of 10.5 in. WC upstream gas pressure is required under load and no-load conditions for natural gas. A minimum of 4.0 in. WC and a maximum of 13.0 in. WC is required for propane gas. The gas pressure regulator(s) supplied on the heater is for low-pressure service. If upstream pres- sure exceeds these values, an intermediate gas pressure regulator, of the lockup type, must be installed. When connecting additional gas utilization equipment to the gas piping system, the existing piping must be checked to determine if it has adequate capacity for the combined load. The gas valve pressure regulator on the heater is nomi- nally preset as noted in Table I. 1” NPT 1-1/4” NPT 1-1/2” NPT 2” NPT 2-1/2” NPT Model No. N P N P N P N P N P 503 15 35 65 150 130 360 N/A N/A N/A N/A 753 5 15 65 100 75 180 250 N/A N/A N/A 1003 N/A N/A 35 55 35 90 125 300 300 N/A 1253 N/A N/A 15 25 25 60 85 225 200 300 1503 N/A N/A 10 15 15 25 60 150 150 275 1753 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 45 110 115 230 2003 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 35 90 85 210 Natural Gas – 1,000 BTU/ft3, 0.60 specific gravity at 0.5 in.

Carbon monoxide should be ‹100ppm. Electrical Power Connections Installations must follow these codes: • National Electrical Code and any other national, state, provincial or local codes or regulations hav- ing jurisdiction. • Safety wiring must be NEC Class 1. • Heater must be electrically grounded as required by the NEC. • In Canada, CSA C22. 1 C.E.C. Part 1. The MVB 503-1503 heaters are wired for 120 VAC, 12 amps while the MVB 1753 & 2003 heaters are wired for 120 VAC, 18 amps. Consult the wiring diagram shipped with the heater. Before starting the heater, check to ensure proper voltage to the heater and pump. Boiler mounted pumps (up to ¾ hp) get their power supply directly from the boiler power supply (connec- tions in rear wiring box). Install a circuit breaker sized sufficiently for both the heater and the pump. Pumps larger than ¾ hp must use a separate power supply and run the power through the optional pump contactor which is located in the rear wiring box (see Fig. 16). Use appropriately-sized wire as defined by NEC, CSA and/or local codes. All primary wiring should be 125% of minimum rating. If any of the original wire as supplied with the heater must be replaced, it must be replaced with 105°C wire or its equivalent. Fig. 16: Rear Wiring Box Electrical Connections All field wiring connections to the MVB heater are made inside the rear wiring box as shown in Fig. 16. Pump power should be taken from terminals 2 (Com), 3 (GND) and 6 (Hot) – ¾ hp and smaller ONLY. Power to the MVB heater should be connected to ter- minals 1, 2, and 3 as noted in Fig. 16. Sensors, interlocks, Enable/disable, and various options are wired into terminals 1 – 12 as noted in Fig. 16. Field-Connected Controllers It is strongly recommended that all individually- powered control modules and the heater should be sup- plied from the same power source. NOTICE: Field-supplied isolation relays should be installed when field-connected controllers are mounted more than 50 equivalent feet (18 Ga) from heater. Check the Power Source WARNING: Using a multi-meter, check the following voltages at the circuit breaker panel prior to connecting any equipment. Make sure proper polarity is followed and house ground is proven. (See Fig. 17.)

Verify that power has been turned off by testing with a multi-meter prior to working with any electrical connections or components. 4. Observe proper wire colors while making electri- cal connections. Many electronic controls are polarity sensitive. Components damaged by im- proper electrical installation are not covered by warranty. 5. Provide overload protection and a disconnect means for equipment serviceability as required by local and state code. 6. Install heater controls, thermostats, or building management systems in accordance with the appli- cable manufacturers’ instructions. 7. Conduit should not be used as the earth ground. NOTICE: A grounding electrode conductor shall be used to connect the equipment grounding conductors, the equipment enclosures, and the grounded service conductor to the grounding electrode. Field Wiring Connection CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause im- proper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. DANGER: SHOCK HAZARD Make sure electrical power to the heater is discon- nected to avoid potential serious injury or damage to components. Fig. 19: Wiring Location

21 Venting CAUTION: Proper installation of flue venting is criti- cal for the safe and efficient operation of the heater. General Appliance Categories Heaters are divided into four categories based on the pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of condensate production in the vent. Category I – A heater which operates with a non- positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas tem- perature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent. Category II – A heater which operates with a non- positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas tem- perature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent. Category III – A heater which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent. Category IV – A heater which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent. See Table J for appliance category requirements. Note: For additional information on appliance catego- rization, see appropriate ANSI Z21 Standard and the NFGC (U.S.), or B149.1 (Canada), or applicable provi- sions of local building codes. CAUTION: Condensate drains for the vent piping are required for installations of the MVB. Follow vent manufacturer instructions for installation and location of condensate drains in the vent. Condensate drain must be primed with water to prevent gas flue leak and must be routed to an appropriate container for neutrali- zation before disposal, as required by local codes. WARNING: Contact the manufacturer of the vent material if there is any question about the appliance categorization and suitability of a vent material for application on a Category IV vent system. Using im- proper venting materials can result in personal injury, death or property damage. Use only the special gas vent pipes listed for use with Category IV gas burning heaters, such as the AL29-4C stainless steel vents offered by Heat Fab Inc. (800-772- 0739), Protech System, Inc. (800-766-3473) or Z-Flex (800-654-5600). Pipe joints must be positively sealed. Follow the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully. Support of Vent Stack The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on the heater vent connection. Support must be pro- vided in compliance with applicable codes. The vent should also be installed to maintain proper clearances from combustible materials. Use insulated vent pipe spacers where the vent passes through combustible roofs and walls.

22 Vent Terminal Location NOTICE: During winter months check the vent cap and make sure no blockage occurs from build-up of snow or ice. 1. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked flue condition. 2. Give special attention to the location of the vent termination to avoid possibility of property dam- age or personal injury. 3. Gases may form a white vapor plume in winter. The plume could obstruct a window view if the termination is installed near windows. 4. Prevailing winds, in combination with below- freezing temperatures, can cause freezing of con- densate and water/ice build-up on buildings, plants or roofs. 5. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake shall be located at least 12 in. above grade, includ- ing normal snow line. 6. Un-insulated single-wall Category IV metal vent pipe shall not be used outdoors in cold climates for venting gas-fired equipment without insulation. 7. Through-the-wall vents for Category IV appli- ances shall not terminate over public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could cre- ate a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment. 8. Locate and guard vent termination to prevent acci- dental contact by people or pets. 9. DO NOT terminate vent in window well, stairwell, alcove, courtyard or other recessed area. 10. DO NOT terminate above any door, window, or gravity air intake. Condensate can freeze, causing ice formations. 11. Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate from damaging exterior finishes. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal backing plate against brick or masonry surfaces. 12. DO NOT extend exposed vent pipe outside of building beyond the minimum distance required for the vent termination. Condensate could freeze and block vent pipe. U.S. Installations Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code. Vent termination requirements are as follows: 1. Vent must terminate at least 4 ft below, 4 ft hori- zontally from or 1 ft above any door, window or gravity air inlet to the building. 2. The vent must not be less than 7 ft above grade when located adjacent to public walkways. 3. Terminate vent at least 3 ft above any forced air inlet located within 10 ft. 4. Vent must terminate at least 4 ft horizontally, and in no case above or below unless 4 ft horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment. 5. Terminate vent at least 6 ft away from adjacent walls. 6. DO NOT terminate vent closer than 5 ft below roof overhang. 7. The vent terminal requires a 12 in. vent terminal clearance from the wall. 8. Terminate vent at least 1 ft above grade, including normal snow line. 9. Multiple direct vent installations require a 4 ft clearance between the ends of vent caps located on the same horizontal plane. Canada Installations Refer to latest edition of B149.1. A vent shall not terminate: 1. Directly above a paved sidewalk or driveway which is located between two single-family dwell- ings and serves both dwellings. 2. Less than 7 ft (2.13 m) above a paved sidewalk or paved driveway located on public property. 3. Within 6 ft (1.8 m) of a mechanical air supply inlet to any building. 4. Above a meter/regulator assembly within 3 ft (0.9 m) horizontally of the vertical centre-line of the regulator.

23 5. Within 6 ft (1.8 m) of any gas service regulator vent outlet. 6. Less than 1 ft (305 mm) above grade level. 7. Within 3 ft (0.9 m) of a window or door which can be opened in any building, any non-mechanical air supply inlet to any building or the combustion air inlet of any other appliance. 8. Underneath a verandah, porch or deck, unless the verandah, porch or deck is fully open on a mini- mum of two sides beneath the floor, and the distance between the top of the vent termination and the underside of the verandah, porch or deck is greater than 1 ft (305 mm). Venting Installation Tips Support piping: • horizontal runs - at least every 5 ft • vertical runs - use braces • under or near elbows WARNING: Examine the venting system at least once a year. Check all joints and vent pipe connections for tightness, corrosion or deterioration. Venting Configurations For heaters connected to gas vents or chimneys, vent installations shall be in accordance with Part 7, Venting of Equipment, of the NFGC (U.S.), or B149.1 (Canada), or applicable provisions of local building codes. Vertical Venting (Category IV) CAUTION: This venting system requires the installa- tion of a condensate drain in the vent piping per the vent manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to install a condensate drain in the venting system will void all warranties on this heater. Installation The maximum and minimum venting length for this Category IV appliance shall be determined per the NFGC (U.S.) or B149.1 (Canada). The diameter of vent flue pipe should be sized accord- ing to Part 11 of the NFGC (U.S.) and Part 7 and Appendix B of B149.1 (Canada). The minimum flue pipe diameter for conventional venting using Category IV, stainless steel AL29-4C vent is: 6 in. for Models 503-1003; and 8 in. for Models 1253-2003. NOTICE: A vent adapter (field-supplied) may be re- quired to connect the Category IV vent to the heater. The connection from the appliance vent to the stack must be as direct as possible and shall be the same di- ameter as the vent outlet. The horizontal breaching of a vent must have an upward slope of not less than 1/4 inch per linear foot from the heater to the vent terminal. The horizontal portions of the vent shall also be sup- ported for the design and weight of the material employed to maintain clearances and to prevent physi- cal damage or separation of joints.

24 Termination The vent terminal should be vertical and should termi- nate outside the building at least 2 ft above the highest point of the roof within 10 ft. The vent cap should have a minimum clearance of 4 ft horizontally from and in no case above or below (unless a 4 ft horizontal dis- tance is maintained) electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment. The distance of the vent terminal from adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings, open windows and building openings must be consistent with the NFGC (U.S.) or B149.1 (Can- ada). Gas vents supported only by flashing and extending above the roof more than 5 ft should be se- curely braced to withstand snow and wind loads. CAUTION: A listed vent cap terminal suitable for connection to the Cat IV vent materials, adequately sized, must be used to evacuate the flue products from the heaters. Fig. 20: Vertical Venting Common Venting The NFGC does not address sizing guidelines for the common venting of multiple Category IV heaters. This is covered in the NFGC under “Engineered Vent Sys- tems”. Table L provides boiler discharge vent pressures at vent pressure switch and volumes of flue products at full fire for the calculation of appropriate vent sizing for common venting. WARNING: Vent connectors serving any other appli- ances shall not be connected into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under a positive pressure. If an MVB heater is installed to replace an existing heater, the vent system MUST be verified to be of the correct size and of Category IV AL29-4C vent material construction. If it is NOT, it MUST be replaced. NOTE: For extractor sizing, typical CO2 levels are 8.5% for natural gas and 9.5% for LP gas and flue tem- perature of 300° F. Model Vent Size (in.)

26 Fig. 24: Horizontal Through-the-Wall Direct Venting CAUTION: This venting system requires the installa- tion of a condensate drain in the vent piping per the vent manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to install a condensate drain in the venting system will void all warranties on this heater. Installation These installations utilize the heater-mounted blower to vent the combustion products to the outdoors. Com- bustion air is taken from inside the room and the vent is installed horizontally through the wall to the outdoors. Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be sup- plied to the equipment room in accordance with the NFGC (U.S.) or B149.1 (Canada). The total length of the horizontal through-the-wall flue system should not exceed 75 equivalent ft in length. If horizontal run exceeds 75 equivalent ft, an appropri- ately sized variable-speed extractor must be used. Each elbow used is equal to 10 ft of straight pipe. This will allow installation in one of the four following arrange- ments: • 75’ of straight flue pipe • 65’ of straight flue pipe and one elbow • 55’ of straight flue pipe and two elbows • 45’ of straight pipe and three elbows The vent cap is not considered in the overall length of the venting system. The vent must be installed to prevent flue gas leakage. Care must be taken during assembly to ensure that all joints are sealed properly and are airtight. The vent must be installed to prevent the potential accumulation of condensate in the vent pipes. It is required that: 1. The vent must be installed with a condensate drain located in proximity to the heater as directed by the vent manufacturer. 2. The vent must be installed with a slight upward slope of not less than 1/4 inch per foot of horizon- tal run to the vent terminal. Horizontal Vent Length (Ft)* Air Inlet Max.

The direct vent cap cannot be installed in a well or below grade. The direct vent cap must be installed at least 1 ft above ground level and above normal snow levels. The Raypak-approved stainless steel flue direct vent cap must be used (sales order option D-15). The vent terminal must be located NO CLOSER than 12” off the wall. WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would jeopard- ize the safety and health of inhabitants. Direct Vent - Vertical Fig. 25: Direct Vent - Vertical CAUTION: This venting system requires the installa- tion of a condensate drain in the vent piping per the vent manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to install a condensate drain in the venting system will void all warranties on this heater. Installation These installations utilize the heater-mounted blower to draw combustion air from outdoors and vent combus- tion products to the outdoors. The total length of air supply pipe cannot exceed the distances listed in Table K. Each elbow used is equal to 10 ft of straight pipe. This will allow installation in any arrangement that does not exceed the lengths shown in Table K. The vent cap is not considered in the overall length of the venting system. Care must be taken during assembly that all joints are sealed properly and are airtight. The vent must be installed to prevent the potential ac- cumulation of condensate in the vent pipes. It is required that: 1. The vent must be installed with a condensate drain located in proximity to the heater as directed by the vent manufacturer. 2. The vent must be installed with a slight upward slope of not more than 1/4 inch per foot of hori- zontal run to the vent terminal. 3. The vent must be insulated through the length of the horizontal run. Termination The vent cap MUST be mounted on the exterior of the building. The vent cap cannot be installed in a well or below grade. The vent cap must be installed at least 1 ft above ground level and above normal snow levels. The vent cap MUST NOT be installed with any com- bustion air inlet directly above a vent cap. This vertical spacing would allow the flue products from the vent cap to be pulled into the combustion air intake installed above. This type of installation can cause non-warrantable problems with components and poor operation of the heater due to the recirculation of flue products. Multi- ple vent caps installed in the same horizontal plane must have a 4 ft clearance from the side of one vent cap to the side of the adjacent vent cap(s). Combustion air supplied from outdoors must be free of particulate and chemical contaminants. To avoid a blocked flue condition, keep the vent cap clear of snow, ice, leaves, debris, etc. WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would jeopard- ize the safety and health of inhabitants. The stainless steel flue direct vent cap must be fur- nished by the heater manufacturer in accordance with its listing (sales order option D-15).

28 Outdoor Installation Outdoor models are self-venting when installed with the optional factory-supplied outdoor vent kit. Addi- tional vent materials are required as outlined in the Outdoor Vent Kit instructions. A special vent cap and air intake elbow are offered in accordance with CSA requirements. These must be installed directly on the vent pipe as illustrated in Fig. 26. Care must be taken when locating the heater outdoors, because the flue gases discharged from the vent cap can condense as they leave the cap. Improper location can result in damage to adjacent structures or building finish. For maximum efficiency and safety, the follow- ing precautions must be observed: 1. Outdoor models must be installed outdoors. They must use the outdoor vent cap and air intake elbow available from the manufacturer (sales order op- tion D-11). 2. Periodically check the venting system. The heater’s venting areas must never be obstructed in any way and minimum clearances must be ob- served to prevent restriction of combustion and ventilation air. Keep area clear and free of com- bustible and flammable materials. 3. Do not locate adjacent to any window, door walk- way, or gravity air intake. The vent must be located a minimum of 4 ft horizontally from such areas. 4. Install above grade level and above normal snow levels. 5. Vent terminal must be at least 3 ft above any forced air inlet located within 10 ft. 6. Adjacent brick or masonry surfaces must be pro- tected with a rust-resistant sheet metal plate. NOTICE: Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Fro- zen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked flue condition. NOTICE: The vent cap and air intake hood must be furnished by the heater manufacturer in accordance with its listing (sales order option D-11). Fig. 26: Outdoor Venting Freeze Protection When installing this heater in an outdoor location that is susceptible to freezing, sales option B-22 should be installed to energize the heater pump at a present out- door air temperature and circulate water to reduce the possibility of freezing and damage to the heat ex- changer or headers. Controls WARNING: Installation, adjustment and service of heater controls, including timing of various operating functions, must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. Failure to do so may result in control damage, heater malfunction, property damage, personal injury, or death. WARNING: Turn off the power to the heater before installation, adjustment or service of any heater con- trols. Failure to do so may result in heater malfunction, property damage, personal injury, or death. CAUTION: This appliance has provisions to be con- nected to more than one supply source. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all such connections before servicing. CAUTION: Risk of electric shock: More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.

29 The Raypak modulating temperature control is pro- vided to maintain the desired system water temperature. The control has various modes of operation which are listed below. Operating Modes Mode 1 – Setpoint operation using parallel piping. The heater outlet water temperature is controlled to the boiler target setpoint. Mode 2 – Setpoint operation using primary / secondary piping. The control modulates the heater to satisfy a remote header sensor. The heater is turned off based on boiler max and boiler differential (factory default H7 boilers). Mode 3 – Dedicated DHW operation using parallel piping. A call for heat is determined by the DHW sen- sor. The heater outlet water is controlled to the boiler target temperature (factory default WH7 water heaters). Mode 4 – Outdoor reset and reset override operation using parallel piping. The heater is operated as in Mode 1. However the target temperature is based on outdoor reset. The outdoor reset temperature can be remotely overridden. Mode 5 – Outdoor reset and reset override operation using primary/secondary piping. The heater is operated as in Mode 2. However, the target temperature is based on outdoor reset. The outdoor reset temperature can be remotely overridden. Mode 6 – This mode is used for remote control mode. The Boil Max setting is the heater shutdown tempera- ture. Definitions The following items are common to Modes 1 thru 5. They are not required for Mode 6 – the mode for exter- nal heater control. % OUT - Current percent modulation rate of heater BOIL DSGN - Design boiler water temperature used in heat loss calculations BOIL MASS - This setting allows adjustment in the field for high or low thermal masses; High thermal mass (setting=3) provides slower reaction, lower ther- mal mass (setting=1) provides faster reaction BOIL MAX - Highest outlet water temperature that the control is allowed to use as a target temperature BOIL MIN - Lowest outlet water temperature that the control is allowed to use as a target temperature BOIL ON - Accumulated runtime of heater (up to 999 hours, then resets to 0) BOIL OUT - Actual heater outlet water temperature BOIL START - Starting boiler water temperature BOIL SUP - Actual system supply water temperature BOIL TARGET - Target temperature that the heater is trying to maintain ‘BURNER’ DELAY - Heater delay from the start of the ignition sequence until it fires DIFF - The operating differential of the heater; The heater outlet water temperature is allowed to rise above the BOIL TARGET temperature by 1/2 of this differ- ential before the heater shuts off MODE - Operating mode of the heater OUTDR - Outdoor air temperature OUTDR DESIGN - Design outdoor air temperature used in the heat loss calculation OUTDR START - Starting outdoor air temperature PUMP DLY - Sets the operating time of the pump once the CFH is satisfied TANK - Current DHW tank temperature (Mode 3) TANK DIFF - Storage tank differential (Mode 3) TANK TARGET - Target temperature in the DHW storage tank (Mode 3) UNITS - Selects the temperature units to be displayed (oF or oC). For example, if the heater target temperature is set to 160°F and the differential is set to 10°F, on temperature rise, the heater will shut off at 165oF. Once the heater shuts off, it will not come on again until the temperature falls to 155oF. WWSD - Selects the outdoor temperature that shuts the heater off, no matter what the demand. NOTE: The WWSD segment is displayed on the LCD. Operation The Raypak modulating temperature control uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) as a method of supply- ing information.

Heater Sequence of Operation Model 503 - 1503 1. The black (hot) wire lead, located at the right- middle front inside the control compartment, goes directly to the main power switch. 2. When the main power switch is placed in the “ON” position, the 120 VAC terminal block in the control compartment, the N.O. contacts of pump relay, the N.O. contacts of blower relay, the 120/24 VAC transformer, and terminals L1 and F1 of the ignition module are powered. 3. The 120/24 VAC transformer sends a 24 VAC hot power signal to the 24V Terminal Block . 4. 24 VAC is sent from the 24V Terminal Block to the NO pump contacts on the modulating tempera- ture control (pin #13), to pin TP2 of the optional alarm relay, to terminal R of the alarm circuit on the modulating temperature control (pin #24) and the green “Power On” LED on the front of the heater will illuminate. 5. 24 VAC power is sent from 24V Terminal Block to Pin P1-1 of the UDB board, the 24 VAC termi- nal of the ignition control module, the NC contact of the manual high limit, and L1 of the Low Water Cut Off (if equipped). 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of the man- ual high limit to pin P3-1 & P3-2 of the UDB board. Upon loss of water in the heater, the Low Water Cut Off (if equipped) will send a 24 VAC signal to pin P3-4 of the UDB board to indicate a safety fault. 6. A 24 VAC signal is sent from the NO contacts of the Low Water Cut Off to the common terminal of the Blocked Vent Switch. During a blocked vent condition a 24 VAC signal is sent from the NO open contacts of the Blocked Vent Switch to pin P3-5 of the UDB board to indi- cate a safety fault. 7. During normal operation of the heater the 24 VAC signal exits the NC contacts of the Blocked Vent Switch and is sent to the common terminal, of the Low Gas Pressure Switch (if equipped). During a low gas pressure condition 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of the Low Gas Pres- sure Switch to pin P3-6 of the UDB board to indicate a safety fault. 8. 24 VAC is sent from the NO contacts of the Low Gas Pressure Switch to the common terminal of the High Gas Pressure Switch (if equipped). During a high gas pressure condition 24 VAC is sent from the NO contacts of the High Gas Pres- sure Switch to pin P3-7 of the UDB board to indicate a safety fault. 9. 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of the High Gas Pressure Switch to the common terminal of the Auto Reset High Limit (if equipped) and to en- ergize the coil of optional alarm relay. If the Auto Hi Limit opens, 24 VAC is sent from the NO contacts of the Auto Hi Limit to pin P3-3 of the UDB board to indicate a safety fault. 10. 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of the Auto Reset Hi Limit to the common terminal of time de- lay relay. 11. 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of time delay relay to the common terminal of the burner switch located on the front exterior panel of the heater. 12. Power then travels to the enable/disable connec- tion and to the Ht D (heat demand) connection of the modulating temperature control. Power splits from the enable/disable and goes to the stage contact of the modulating temperature control (pin #15). 13. When the stage contact closes on the modulating temperature control, 24 VAC is sent to the com- mon terminal of the flow switch and to pin P1-3

32 (CFH) of the UDB board. In addition, the amber “Call-for-Heat” LED on the front of the heater will illuminate. 14. The pump contact on the modulating temperature control closes sending 24 VAC to the pump switch located on the front exterior panel of the heater. 15. When the pump switch is closed, 24 VAC is sent to the coil of the pump relay. 16. The pump relay energizes and closes the contacts, starting the heater pump. 17. Upon sufficient flow, the flow switch closes and sends 24 VAC to the common terminal of the air pressure switch, TH terminal of the ignition mod- ule, coil of the ignition lockout relay and the NO contacts of the ignition lockout relay. If the flow switch does not close, a 24 VAC signal is sent to pin P4-9 of the UDB board to indicate an insufficient flow condition. When the 24 VAC signal is sent to P4-9 the same signal then de-energizes the coil of time delay re- lay to remove a heat demand from the modulating temperature control and restart the ignition se- quence after the 5 second time delay. Upon ignition lockout, the module energizes the ignition lockout relay and sends a 24 VAC signal to pin P4-12 (ignition lockout) of the UDB board. 18. When 24 VAC is received at TH on the ignition module, the contacts between pins F1 and F2 close and send 120 VAC to pin 1 of the blower relay. 19. The coil of the blower relay energizes closing the NO contacts sending 120 VAC to energize the combustion air blower motor. The combustion air blower will operate at 50% of capacity for approximately ninety (90) seconds be- fore the modulating signal from the modulating temperature control will control the fan speed in relationship to the system water temperature. 20. Once sufficient air pressure is achieved in the heater and the air pressure switch closes the NO contacts, 24 VAC is sent to the heater interlock connection on the ignition module. If air pressure is insufficient or lost during heater operation a 24 VAC signal is sent from the NC contacts of the air pressure switch to pin P4-10 of the UDB board to indicate insufficient air pressure. When the 24 VAC signal is sent to P4-10 the same signal then de-energizes the coil of the time delay relay to remove a heat demand from the modulat- ing temperature control and restart the ignition sequence after the 5 second time delay. 21. After receiving 24 VAC at the heater interlock, power then travels to the P Switch terminal of the ignition module. The ignition module employs a 15 second pre- purge before the next sequence. 22. After 15 seconds of combustion chamber pre- purge, pin S1 sends 120 VAC to the Hot Surface Igniter. 23. The Hot Surface Igniter will be energized for ap- proximately 30 seconds and must exceed 3.1 amp draw during heat up. 24. Once the ignition module determines the proper operation of the Hot Surface Igniter, a 24 VAC signal is output from the Valve pin on the module to energize the gas valve. 25. The gas valve is energized and the blue “Burner On” LED on the front of the heater energizes. 26. The remote sensor is now trying to rectify the flame. If the flame is not rectified within 4 seconds, the ignition module will shut down the gas valve and lock out. 27. When burner flame is rectified, the gas valve will remain at 50% fire for the remainder of the ninety (90) second delay after the CFH was initiated and then modulate in relationship to the output signal to the combustion air blower from the modulating temperature control. 28. When the CFH is satisfied, the heater will return to a standby condition awaiting the next CFH. Model 1753 – 2003 1. The black (hot) wire lead, located at the right- middle front inside the control compartment, goes directly to the main power switch. 2.

33 pump relay and the blower receives power but does not energize at this time and terminal L1 the ignition module is powered. 3. The 120/24 VAC transformer sends a 24 VAC hot power signal to the 24V Terminal Block. 4. 24 VAC is sent from the 24V Terminal Block to pin L1 of the Low Water Cut Off, the 24 VAC terminal of the ignition control module, the green LED on the front of the heater to signify “Power On”, terminal R (pin #24) of the modulating tem- perature control, the NC contacts of the manual high limit, pin P3-1 of the UDB board, pin P1-1 of the UDB board, pin J5-5 of the UGB board, the NC contacts of the alarm relay, the red LED on the front of the heater to signify “Service” if in alarm mode and the NO pump contacts on the tempera- ture controller. 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of the man- ual high limit to pin P3-2 of the UDB board and to the common terminal of the Low Water Cut Off (if equipped). Upon loss of water in the heater, the Low Water Cut Off will send a 24 VAC signal to pin P3-4 of the UDB board to indicate a safety fault. 5. A 24 VAC signal is sent from the NO contacts of the Low Water Cut Off to the common terminal of the Blocked Vent Switch. During a blocked vent condition a 24 VAC signal is sent from the NO open contacts of the Blocked Vent Switch to Pin P3-5 of the UDB board to indi- cate a safety fault. 6. During normal operation of the heater, the 24 VAC signal will exit the NC contacts of the Blocked Vent Switch and is sent to the common terminal, of the Low Gas Pressure Switch (if equipped). During a low gas pressure condition, 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of the Low Gas Pres- sure Switch to Pin P3-6 of the UDB board to indicate a safety fault. 7. 24 VAC is sent from the NO contacts of the Low Gas Pressure Switch to the common terminal of the High Gas Pressure Switch (if equipped). During a high gas pressure condition, 24 VAC is sent from the NO contacts of the High Gas Pres- sure Switch to Pin P3-7 of the UDB board to indicate a safety fault. 8. 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of the High Gas Pressure Switch to energize the alarm relay coil and to the common terminal of the Auto Reset High Limit (if equipped). If the Auto Hi Limit opens, a 24 VAC is sent to Pin P3-3 of the UDB board to indicate a safety fault. 9. 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of the Auto Reset Hi Limit to the common terminal of time de- lay relay. 10. 24 VAC is sent from the NC contacts of time delay relay to the common terminal of the burner switch located on the front exterior panel of the heater. 11. Power then travels to the enable/disable connec- tion and to the Ht D (heat demand) connection of the modulating temperature control. Power splits from the enable/disable and goes to the stage contact of the modulating temperature control. 12. When the stage contact closes on the modulating temperature control, 24 VAC is sent to the com- mon terminal of the flow switch and to pin P1-3 (CFH) of the UDB board. 24 VAC is now sent di- rectly to the amber LED on the front of the heater to signify a “Call For Heat”. 13. The pump contact on the modulating temperature control closes sending 24 VAC to the pump switch located on front exterior panel of the heater. 14. When the pump switch is closed 24 VAC is sent to the coil of the pump relay. 15. The pump relay energizes and closes the contacts, starting the heater pump. 16. Upon sufficient flow, the flow switch closes and sends 24 VAC to the common terminal of the air pressure switch, the lockout relay coil and the NO contacts of the lockout relay. A 24 VAC signal is also sent from the common terminal of the air pressure switch to pin F1 of the ignition module. If the flow switch does not close, a 24 VAC signal is sent to pin P4-9 of the UDB board to indicate an insufficient flow condition.

SECTION C: Installation

34 When the 24 VAC signal is sent from the flow switch to P4-9, the same signal then de-energizes the coil of the time delay relay to remove a heat demand from the modulating temperature control and restart the ignition sequence after the five- second time delay. Upon ignition lockout, the module energizes the lockout relay and sends a 24 VAC signal to pin P4-12 (ignition lockout) of the UDB board. 17. When 24 VAC is received at F1 of the ignition module, it is then routed to the “TH” terminal of the ignition module. 18. After 24 VAC is received at TH on the ignition module, the contacts between pins F1 and F2 close and send 24 VAC to pin J5-6 of the UGB board. A signal must be received at this terminal to en- able output to the blower. 19. A 24 VAC signal is sent from J6-1 to the blower. 20. The blower is controlled by a PWM (pulse width modulation) signal sent from J6-4 to start the blower operating at 50% speed. The combustion air blower will operate at 50% of capacity for approximately ninety (90) seconds be- fore the modulating signal from the temperature control will control the blower speed in relation- ship to the system water temperature. 21. Once sufficient air pressure is achieved in the heater and the air pressure switch closes the NO contacts, 24 VAC is sent to the heater interlock connection. If air pressure is insufficient or lost during heater operation, a 24 VAC signal is sent from the NC contacts of the air pressure switch to pin P4-10 of the UDB board to indicate insufficient air pressure. When the 24 VAC signal is sent to P4-10, the same signal then energizes the coil of the time de- lay relay to remove a heat demand from the temperature controller and restart the ignition se- quence after the five-second time delay. 22. After receiving 24 VAC at the heater interlock, power then travels to the P Switch terminal of the ignition module. The ignition module employs a 15 second pre- purge before the next sequence. 23. After 15 seconds of combustion chamber pre- purge, pin S1 sends 120 VAC to the Hot Surface Igniter. The Hot Surface Igniter will be energized for ap- proximately 30 seconds and must exceed 3.1 amp draw during heat up. 24. During HSI heat-up, the UGB board is monitoring current draw across pins J4-1 and J4-3. 25. Once the ignition module determines the proper operation of the Hot Surface Igniter, a 24 VAC signal is output from Valve pin on the ignition module to energize the gas valve. 26. A 24 VAC signal is sent to the blue LED on the front of the heater to signify “Burner Firing” and to pin J5-2 on the UGB board to prove flame. 27. The gas valve is energized and the burner ignites. 28. The remote sensor is now trying to sense the flame. If the flame is not rectified within 4 seconds, the ignition module will shut down the gas valve and lock out. 29. When burner flame is rectified, the gas valve will remain at 50% fire for the remainder of the ninety (90) seconds after CFH and then modulate in rela- tionship to the output signal to the combustion air blower from the modulating temperature control. 30. When the CFH is satisfied, the heater will return to a standby condition awaiting the next CFH. Ignition Module When additional heat is needed, the combustion air blower starts to purge air from the combustion chamber for 15 seconds. On proof-of-air flow, the air-proving switch closes and the igniter is energized. To ensure safe operation, the gas valve cannot open until the ig- niter is verified. The main burner is automatically lit when the device is powered and pre-purged. The heater performs its own safety check and opens the main valve only after the igniter is proven to be capable of ignition.

Refer to information starting on page 28 for information on the setting and use of this control. Fig. 33: Modulating Temperature Control Low Water Cut-Off (Optional) The optional low water cut-off automatically shuts down the burner whenever water level drops below the level of the sensing probe. A 5-second time delay pre- vents premature lockout due to temporary conditions such as power fluctuations or air pockets. Fig. 34: Low Water Cut-Off High and Low Gas Pressure Switches (Optional) The optional low gas pressure switch connection mounts upstream of the gas valve (on the inlet flange to the gas valve) and is accessible through the removable access panels on the rear of the heater to reset the gas pressure switch, as necessary. It is used to ensure that sufficient gas pressure is present for proper valve/regulator performance. The low gas pressure switch automatically shuts down the heater if gas sup- ply drops below the factory setting of 3.0 in. WC for natural gas or LP gas. The optional high gas pressure switch connection mounts down-stream of the gas valve. Special ports are located on the backside of the gas valve and acces- sible from the front of the heater (to reset the gas pressure switch) or through the removable access pan- els on the rear of the heater (to reset the gas pressure switch), as necessary. If the gas pressure regulator in the valve fails, the high gas pressure switch automati- cally shuts down the burner. Operation of either the High or Low Gas Pressure Switch will turn on an LED inside the switch housing. Push the top of the plastic switch housing as shown in Fig. 35 to reset a tripped pressure switch. The LED will go out when the switch is reset.

Filling System (Heating Boilers)

Fill system with water. Purge all air from the system. Lower the system pressure. Open valves for normal system operation, and fill system through feed pressure. Manually open air vent on the compression tank until water appears, then close vent. Air Purge (Domestic Hot Water Heaters) Purge all air from system before lighting heater. This can be normally accomplished by opening a down- stream valve. Raypak offers an optional air vent for the MVB heaters which can be screwed directly into the inlet side of the header to ensure that air is purged from the system. This option also includes an adapter to allow the air vent to be piped (in the field) to a suitable drain as re- quired by the jurisdiction having authority. Venting System Inspection 1. Check all vent pipe connections and flue pipe ma- terial. 2. Make sure vent terminations are installed per code and are clear of all debris or blockage. For Your Safety WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. This appliance has a hot surface igniter. It is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the burners by hand. BEFORE OPERATING, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell near the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: • Do not try to light any appliance. • Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any telephone in your building. • Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s telephone. Follow the gas supplier’s in- structions. • If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. • Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas con- trol knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it, call a qualified ser- vice technician.

44 Safety Inspection 1. Check all thermostats and high limit settings. 2. During the following safety checks leave manome- ters hooked up, check and record. 3. If other gas-fired appliances in the room are on the same gas main, check all pressures on the MVB with all other equipment running. 4. Check thermostats for ON-OFF operation. 5. Check high limits for ON-OFF operation. 6. While in operation, check flow switch operation 7. Check the low gas pressure switch (if provided). (For proper adjustment, use the attached manome- ters, if available, to set pressure. The scales on the switch are approximate only.) Low gas pressure switch (if provided) must be set at 3.0 in. WC for natural gas and propane gas. 8. Make sure that the high gas pressure switch (op- tional) is set to 3.0 in. WC for both natural gas and propane gas. Follow-Up Safety checks must be recorded as performed. Turn heater on. After main burner ignition: 1. Check manometer for proper readings. 2. Cycle heater several times and re-check readings. 3. Remove all manometers and replace caps and screws. 4. Check for gas leaks one more time. Leak Test Procedure: Dual-Seat Gas Valve Proper leak testing requires three pressure test points in the gas train. Remove the access panel on the rear of the heater to access the gas valve for this test. Test point A is a bleedle valve located upstream of the combination gas valve on the supply manifold. Test point B is a bleedle valve located between the two automatic gas valve seats. Test point C is a bleedle valve located downstream of both automatic gas valve seats and upstream of the manual valve. Refer to Fig. 40. These tests are to be conducted with the electrical power to the heater turned OFF. 1. Manually close the downstream leak test valve. 2. Open the bleedle valve at test point A and connect a manometer to it. Verify that there is gas pressure and that it is within the proper range (NOTE: must not exceed 14.0 in. WC). 3. Open test point B and connect a rubber tube to it. Connect the other end of the tube to a manometer and look for a build-up of pressure. Increasing pressure indicates a leaking gas valve which must be replaced. 4. Next, close the upstream manual gas valve (field supplied) and remove the manometers from the bleedle valves in test point A and test point B. Connect a rubber tube from the test point A bleedle valve to the test point B bleedle valve and open the upstream manual gas valve. Make sure that test point A & B bleedle valves have been opened so as to allow gas to flow. This will bring gas pressure to the second valve seat. 5. Open the bleedle valve at test point C and connect a second rubber tube to it. Connect the other end of the tube to a manometer and look for a build-up of pressure. Increasing pressure indicates a leaking gas valve which must be replaced. 6. Remove rubber tube and manometers. Close each test point bleedle valve as the tubes are removed. 7. After no leakage has been verified at all valve seats and test valves, open downstream leak test valve and restore electrical power to the heater.

Inside Air Contamination

All heaters experience some condensation during start- up. The condensate from flue gas is acidic. Combustion air can be contaminated by certain vapors in the air which raise the acidity of the condensate. Higher acid- ity levels attack many materials including stainless steel, which is commonly used in high efficiency sys- tems. The heater can be supplied with corrosion- resistant, non-metallic intake air vent material. You may, however, choose to use outside combustion air for one or more of these reasons: 1. Installation is in an area containing contaminants listed below which will induce acidic condensation. 2. You want to reduce infiltration into your building through openings around windows and doors. 3. You are using AL29-4C stainless steel vent pipe, which is more corrosion-resistant than standard metallic vent pipe. In extremely contaminated ar- eas, this may also experience deterioration. Products causing contaminated combustion air: • spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons • permanent wave solutions • chlorinated waxes/cleaners • chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals • calcium chloride used for thawing • sodium chloride used for water softening • refrigerant leaks • paint or varnish removers • hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid • cements and glues • antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers • chloride-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning solvents found in household laundry rooms • adhesives used to fasten building products • similar products. Areas where contaminated combustion air commonly exists: • dry cleaning/laundry areas • metal fabrication plants • beauty shops • refrigeration repair shops • photo processing plants • auto body shops • plastic manufacturing plants • furniture refinishing areas and establishments • new building construction • remodeling areas • open pit skimmers. Check for areas and products listed above before in- stalling heater. If found: • remove products permanently, OR • install TruSeal direct vent. SECTION H Appendix
