DESCRIPTION
The SS2 is a mechanical vent system designed and listed for use with natural draft oil or gas heating equipment. It is factory assembled and wired.
The SS2 automatically vents the flue gases from heating equipment to the outdoors. By recirculating indoor air with a cooling fan, surrounding com-
bustible materials remain at safe temperatures. After each burner cycle the SS2 will continue to operate in post-purge mode to purge the heater and
vent of residual flue gases. A factory post-purge time is set at 2 minutes and is adjustable up 16 minutes, see “Pre / Post-purge Settings” on page 5.
The SS2 features a safety system consisting of the integral UC1 Universal Control, a Fan Proving Switch and a High Limit temperature control. These
devices monitor the SS2’s performance and will interrupt the main burner if a venting malfunction is detected.
APPLICATION TABLE
Verify that the total BTU/hr. input of the heating appliance(s) fall within the inputs listed below. The BTU/hr. capacity range is based on a maximum of
50 equivalent feet (15 meters). To determine equivalent feet, add the total length of straight vent pipe plus 10 feet (3 meters) for each 90 degree elbow
and 5 feet (1.5 meters) for each 45 degree elbow. Vent runs of over 15 linear feet (4.5 meters) require the use of an approved, insulated vent connector
to prevent problems related to condensation.
The SS2 Vent System may only be used on Flame Retention Head Oil Burners for oil installations.
Oil burner capacities exceeding 1 GPH may require the burner to be adjusted to more efficient (12.5-13% CO2) than typical levels to maintain
recommended over-fire draft settings. See “Oil Draft Adjustment Procedure” on page 15 of this manual or consult Tjernlund at 1-800-255-4208
with questions prior to installation.
