Modulex Annual (12 Month) Maintenance

Technical instruction Document

TID-0026_0A

1. Annual (12-Month) Maintenance Instructions

Following are the procedures necessary to perform the annual (12 month) maintenance on all Modulex

MLX boiler models and sizes. Each Annual Maintenance Kit contains a flame detector, spark igniter,

and associated gaskets.

A correctly adjusted Modulex boiler needs very little care other than yearly maintenance. The frequency

of cleaning needed depends on the cleanliness of the air used for combustion. Note that dust present in

the air at the combustion intake will result in reduced burn efficiency and, consequently, reduced heat

output.

Annual maintenance consists of a number of recommended and required tasks as listed below. This

section provides instructions for the yearly requirement of inspection, and if necessary, replacement of

the igniter and flame detector for each burner section. Some of the more involved inspection and

cleaning (such as cleaning the burner modules or condensate tray) are described in both the main

Modulex boiler manual (GF-115-H) and the Instructions for the MLX 24-month Fireside Maintenance

instructions (P/N TID-0027). For each of the different Modulex boiler models, there is an associated

maintenance kit P/N, as shown in the table on the cover and at the end of these instructions.

REQUIRED Tasks:

•Inspect air filters (replace if needed, AERCO P/N 95261879)

•Inspect condensate drain lines (clean if needed)

•Check for gas leaks using a soapy solution

•Inspect igniter and flame sensor (replace, Igniter: P/N 95251245, Detector: P/N 95251246)

•Check pH of boiler system water (refer to Appendix C, Boiler Water Chemistry and Maintenance)

in MLX boiler manual GF-115-H.

•Check flame detection circuitry (See paragraph 1.3)

RECOMMENDED Tasks:

•Inspect vent pipe (clean if needed)

•Inspect flue collector (clean if needed)

•condensate tray (clean if needed)

•Wash heat exchanger (clean if needed) (see MLX boiler manual GF-115-H, paragraph 8.3.3)

•Check and adjust air/fuel ratio (see MLX boiler manual GF-115-H, paragraph 7.5.5)

•Inspect and clean burner surface (see MLX boiler manual GF-115-H, section 8.3)

•Inspect heat transfer surfaces (clean if needed)

•Clean strainer mesh (Monthly)

•Check inlet gas pressure. Changes in gas pressure require combustion recalibration (see MLX

boiler manual GF-115-H, paragraph 7.5.5)

•Check vent and inlet air terminations

•Check electrical supply voltages

Tools Required

Common hand tools, plus a spark gap feeler gauge are required to perform the annual maintenance tasks

described in this bulletin.

Prior to performing the following disassembly and inspection procedures, ensure

that all electrical power to the boiler has been turned off and the external gas shut-

off valve is fully closed.

Modulex Annual (12 Month) Maintenance

Technical instruction Document

TID-0026_0A

1.1 - Disassembly for Annual Maintenance

Disassemble the unit per Instruction 1.1, below, and locate the electrical components to be replaced.

Unit Disassembly for Annual

Maintenance

1. Disconnect electrical power to the unit

by turning off the external circuit

breaker.

2. Turn off the external gas supply shutoff

valve.

3. Remove the top cover from the boiler. A

screwdriver may be needed to pry the

cover from the two pins on either end.

4. Carefully detach the ground wire clips

from the underside of the cover (see

note above).

5. Remove the front panel from the boiler

to provide access to the spark igniter

and flame detector for each heat

module of the boiler (see Figure 1).

6. Refer to Figure 2and Figure 3and

locate the installed locations of the

igniters and flame detectors. These

Figures show a Modulex MLX-757

containing five (5) igniters and five (5)

flame detectors.

NOTE

The cover is secured with spring clips

and pins to front, back and side panels

of the unit. In addition, two (2) groups of

ground wires from the frame of the

boiler are attached with clips to the

underside of the top cover. Use care

when disconnecting these ground wire

clips. Note that all lugs have capture

spring clips that are released by

pressing a small nub under lug itself.

1.2 Replacing the Spark Igniters and Flame Detectors

The Spark Igniter and Flame Detector are replaced per Instructions 1.2 A and 1.2Bbelow.

1.3 Testing the Flame Detection Circuitry

The Modulex boiler is designed to automatically shut down in the absence of a flame to prevent the

buildup of unburned fuel in the combustion chamber. Test the circuit by removing a flame detector lead

from any of the burner sections (Figure 3) while the unit is running. If the unit shuts down after a few

seconds, the flame detection circuitry is functional. If boiler does not automatically shut down, there is a

problem with the circuit. In this case, manually shut down the boiler and contact appropriate technical

help to resolve the problem.

Replacing the Spark Igniter

The spark igniter for each heat module is installed to

the left of the view port as shown in Figure 3.

Remove and replace as follows:

1. Disconnect the spark igniter ground wire and

unplug the igniter cable.

2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the two

(2) screws securing the igniter and remove it from

the boiler.

3. Obtain a replacement igniter

from the

maintenance kit. Using a spark gap feeler gauge,

ensure that the igniter spark gap is 4mm to 5 mm.

4. Install the replacement igniter and secure it in

place with the two (2) screws removed in step (b).

5. Reconnect the igniter cable and ground wire

6. Repeat steps (1) through (5) for each igniter in the

Modulex boiler.

Replacing the Flame Detector

The flame detector for each heat module is

installed beneath the view port as shown in

Figure 3. Remove and replace as follows:

1. Disconnect the flame detector wire lead.

2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver,

remove the two (2) screws securing the

flame detector and remove it from the

boiler.

3. Obtain a replacement flame detector

from the maintenance kit.

4. Install the replacement flame detector

and secure it in place with the two (2)

screws removed in step (b).

5. Reconnect the flame detector wire lead.

6. Repeat steps (1) through (5) for each

flame detector in the boiler.
