FOREWORD

Foreword

The AERCO Benchmark 3.0LN Boiler is a modulating unit. It represents a true industry advance

that meets the needs of today's energy and environmental concerns. Designed for application

in any closed loop hydronic system, the Benchmark's modulating capability relates energy input

directly to fluctuating system loads. The Benchmark 3.0, with its 15:1 turn down ratio and

condensing capability, provides extremely high efficiencies and makes it ideally suited for

modern low temperature, as well as, conventional heating systems.

The Benchmark 3.0 operates at inputs ranging from 200,000 BTU/hr. to 3,000,000 BTU/hr. The

output of the boiler is a function of the unit’s firing rate and return water temperature. Output

ranges from 198,000 BTU/hr. to 2,900,000 BTU/hr., depending on operating conditions.

When installed and operated in accordance with this Instruction Manual, the Benchmark 3.0

Boiler complies with the NOx emission standards outlined in:

•South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), Rule 1146.1

Whether used in singular or modular arrangements, the Benchmark 3.0 offers the maximum

flexibility in venting with minimum installation space requirements. The Benchmark's advanced

electronics are available in several selectable modes of operation offering the most efficient

operating methods and energy management system integration.

For service or parts, contact your local sales representative or AERCO INTERNATIONAL.

CHAPTER 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.1 WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

Installers and operating personnel MUST, at all

times, observe all safety regulations. The

following warnings and cautions are general and

must be given the same attention as specific

precautions included in these instructions. In

addition to all the requirements included in this

AERCO Instruction Manual, the installation of

units MUST conform with local building codes,

or, in the absence of local codes, ANSI Z223.1

(National Fuel Gas Code Publication No. NFPA-

54). Where ASME CSD-1 is required by local

jurisdiction, the installation must conform to

CSD-1.

Where applicable, the equipment shall be

installed in accordance with the current

Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances

and Equipment, CGA B149, and applicable

Provincial regulations for the class; which should

be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities

having jurisdiction should be consulted before

installations are made.

IMPORTANT

This Instruction Manual is an integral

part of the product and must be

maintained in legible condition. It must

be given to the user by the installer

and kept in a safe place for future

reference.

WARNINGS!

MUST BE OBSERVED TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY.

WARNING!

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PER-

FORM ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE

UNIT, SHUT OFF ALL GAS AND

ELECTRICAL INPUTS TO THE UNIT.

WARNING!

THE EXHAUST VENT PIPE OF THE

UNIT OPERATES UNDER A

POSITIVE PRESSURE AND THERE-

FORE MUST BE COMPLETELY

SEALED TO PREVENT LEAKAGE

OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS INTO

LIVING SPACES.

WARNING

DO NOT USE MATCHES, CANDLES,

FLAMES, OR OTHER SOURCES OF

IGNITION TO CHECK FOR GAS

LEAKS.

WARNING!

FLUIDS UNDER PRESSURE MAY

CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL

OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT

WHEN RELEASED. BE SURE TO

SHUT OFF ALL INCOMING AND

OUTGOING WATER SHUTOFF

VALVES. CAREFULLY DECREASE

ALL TRAPPED PRESSURES TO

ZERO BEFORE PERFORMING

MAINTENANCE.

WARNING!

ELECTRICAL VOLTAGES UP TO

460 VAC MAY BE USED IN THIS

EQUIPMENT. THEREFORE THE

COVER ON THE UNIT’S POWER

BOX (LOCATED BEHIND THE

FRONT PANEL DOOR) MUST BE

INSTALLED AT ALL TIMES, EXCEPT

DURING MAINTENANCE AND

SERVICING.

CAUTIONS!

Must be observed to prevent

equipment damage or loss of

operating effectiveness.

CAUTION!

Many soaps used for gas pipe leak

testing are corrosive to metals. The

piping must be rinsed thoroughly with

clean water after leak checks have

been completed.

CAUTION!

DO NOT use this boiler if any part has

been under water. Call a qualified

service technician to inspect and

replace any part that has been under

water.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1-2

1.2 EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

If overheating occurs or the gas supply fails to

shut off, close the manual gas shutoff valve

(Figure 1-1) located external to the unit.

IMPORTANT

The Installer must identify and indicate

the location of the emergency shutdown

manual gas valve to operating personnel.

Figure 1-1

Manual Gas Shutoff Valve

1.3 PROLONGED SHUTDOWN

After prolonged shutdown, it is recommended

that the startup procedures in Chapter 4 and the

safety device test procedures in Chapter 6 of

this manual be performed, to verify all system-

operating parameters. If there is an emergency,

turn off the electrical power supply to the

AERCO boiler and close the manual gas valve

located upstream the unit. The installer is to

identify the emergency shut-off device.
