Start-up

(continued)

Final checklist

Use the checklist following to ensure boiler is

operating correctly.

Have the following been completed?

Is proper orifice plate installed? Refer to page 8 to check size and

fuel type.

Proper orifice plate must be used. Failure to do so will

cause severe personal injury, death or substantial prop-

erty damage.

Thermostat heat anticipator (if available) set properly? Refer to

Field wiring, page 56.

Read and followed all procedures and checks specified in the Start-

up section, beginning with page 59?

Perform the following

Inspect vent system for leaks. Verify vent (and air) piping are

functional and unobstructed.

Measure natural gas input:

a. Operate boiler 10 minutes.

b. Turn off other appliances.

c. At natural gas meter, measure time (in seconds) required to

use one cubic foot of gas.

d. Calculate gas input:

3600 x 1000

number of seconds from step

c

= Btuh

e. Btuh calculated should approximate input rating on boiler

rating label.

Test limit control — While burner is operating, move indicator

on limit control below actual boiler water temperature. Blower

and burner should go off while circulator continues to operate.

Raise setting on limit control above boiler water temperature and

burner should reignite.

Test additional field-installed controls — If boiler has a

low water cutoff, additional high limit or other controls,

test for operation as outlined by manufacturer. Burner

should be operating and should go off when controls

are tested. When controls are restored, boiler should

restart.

Test ignition system (integrated boiler control):

f. Connect voltmeter to gas valve terminals.

g. Turn off manual gas valve.

h. Set thermostat to call for heat.

i. IBC will begin purge cycle, then activate igniter.

Igniter will glow for approximately 20 seconds.

Near end of 20 seconds, 24 VDC will show at gas

valve for approximately 6 seconds and then return

to 0 VDC. Control will attempt ignition two more

times, increasing igniter time to 30 seconds for these

attempts. The control will then lockout, flashing the

POWER and FLAME lights.

j. To restart system, follow Operating instructions on

boiler (also Figure 76, page 66). (Control will reset

after power has been off for at least 45 seconds.)

Set limit control(s) to system temperature requirements.

Adjust balancing valves and controls to provide design

temperature to system.

For multiple zones, adjust flow so it is about the same

in each zone or as required.

Cycle boiler with thermostat — Raise to highest setting

and verify boiler goes through normal start-up cycle.

Lower to lowest setting and verify boiler goes off.

Observe several operating cycles for proper operation.

Set room thermostat to desired room temperature.

Fill in Installation and service certificate (see back cover

of manual).

Review all instructions shipped with this boiler with

owner or maintenance person. Return instructions to

envelope and give to owner or place in pocket inside

front panel in boiler.
