Tjernlund SS2 SideShot with UC1 Universal Control (Version X.04) 8504105 Rev B 05/03 - Manual (Page 4)

CAUTIONS
The SS2 must be installed by a qualified installer (an individual properly licensed and/or trained) in accordance with all local codes or, in their
absence, in accordance with the appropriate National Fire Protection Association #31, #54, #211 and the National Electrical Code. In the absence
of local codes in Canada, installations must comply with CSA Std 139 (The National Building Code of Canada) and CSA Std 22.1 (The Canadian
Electrical Code).
Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the SS2 in accordance with manufacturer's instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and property damage.
1. The installer must verify that the BTU/hr. input of the appliance does not exceed the recommended input of the SS2. See
“Application Table” on page 1 of these instructions for maximum input capacities.
2. Disconnect power supply from the SS2 and heating equipment when making wiring connections and servicing the SS2.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. LED #5 (RED) should be off with power removed.
3. Plan the vent layout so that the code required clearances are maintained from plumbing, wiring and combustible materials.
4. Flue gas temperatures must not exceed 650oF (343oC) at SS2 inlet. Ambient temperature must not exceed 104oF (40oC).
5. Oil fuel flue gas temperature at vent system inlet must be at least 250oF (121oC) during appliance steady state.
6. Make certain power source is adequate for the SS2 requirements. Do not add the SS2 to a circuit when the total electrical load is unknown.
7. "Safety Inspection of a Previously Used Appliance", below must be completed when replacing a conventional chimney venting system
or when SS2 is installed on used heating equipment.
SAFETY INSPECTION OF A PREVIOUSLY USED APPLIANCE
(Perform prior to SS2 installation)
The following procedure is intended as a guide to aid in determining that an appliance is properly installed and is in safe condition for continuing
use. This procedure is based on central furnace and boiler installations and it should be recognized that generalized procedures cannot anticipate
all situations. Accordingly, in some cases deviation from this procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment.
a. This procedure should be performed prior to any attempt at modifications of the appliance or installation of the SS2.
b. If it is determined there is a condition which could result in an unsafe operation, the appliance should be shut off and the owner
advised of the unsafe condition.
The following steps should be followed in making the safety inspection:
1. Visually inspect the venting system and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
2a. Oil Installations: Inspect burner and primary control for proper operation.
2b. Gas Installations: Conduct a gas leakage test of the appliance piping and control system downstream of the shutoff valve
in the supply line to the appliance.
Inspect burners and cross overs for blockage and corrosion.
3. Applicable only to furnaces: Inspect heat exchanger for cracks, openings or excessive corrosion. Check both the limit control and fan control
for proper operation.
4. Applicable only to boilers: Inspect for evidence of water or combustion product leaks. Determine that the water pumps are in operating
condition. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed controls, pressure and temperature limit controls and relief valves in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations to determine that they are in operating order.
