INSTALLATION &

OPERATINGMANUAL

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or

electrocution may result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids or other combustible

materials in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Water quality

Warning

Water quality has a significant impact on the lifetime and performance of a boiler's heat

exchanger.

Improperly prepared water in a heating circuit may cause damage to the heat exchanger

through fouling or corrosion. Repeated or uncontrolled water fills will increase the potential

for damage.

High levels of dissolved solids or minerals may precipitate out of the fluid onto the hottest part

of the heat exchanger, impairing heat transfer and resulting in overheating and premature

failure. The amount of solids that may form on the heat exchanger will depend on the degree

of hardness and the total water volume in the system. A high water volume system with a low

hardness count may cause as much damage as a system with less volume and higher

hardness, so it is recommended to treat water so as to reduce dissolved solids to 30 ppm.

Other water chemistry allowable limits are as follows:

Acidity pH is to be between 6.6 and 8.5

Chloride is to be less than 125 mg/l

Iron is to be less than 0.3 mg/l

Cu less than 0.1 mg/l

Conductivity is to be less than 400μS/cm at 77°F (25°C)

7 grains/ gal (120 ppm)

Important: Ensure that these limits are acceptable for the other water-side components in

the system.

Shipped with the boiler:

1 x Wall mounting bracket

1 x 30 psig pressure relief valve

2 x ¼" x 2 ½" Lag screws/w flat washers

Safety information

Manual safety markings

Danger

Points out an immediate hazardous

situation that must be avoided to

prevent serious injury or death.

Warning

Points out a potential hazardous

situation that must be avoided to

prevent serious injury or death.

Caution

Points out a potential hazardous

situation that must be avoided to

prevent possible moderate injury

and/or property damage.

Note

Points out installation, maintenance and

operational notes to enhance efficiency,

longevity and proper operation of the

boiler.

Important safety instructions

Installation, start-up and servicing of IBC boilers must be performed by competent, qualified, licensed

and trained heating technicians.

Failure to read and comply with all instructions and applicable national and local codes may result in

hazardous conditions that could result in property damage and injury to occupants, and in extreme

cases to death. Keep instructions near the air handling appliance for future reference.

Danger

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or

any other appliance. If you smell gas vapors, do not try to operate any appliance - do not

touch any electrical switch or use any phone in the building.

Warning

Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service

technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the system that has been under

water.

Safety information

Warning

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause

property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Read and understand the entire

manual before attempting installation, start-up, operation, or service. Installation and

service must be performed only by an experienced, skilled installer or service agency.

Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death.

Read all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers’

manuals before installing, starting up, operating, maintaining, or servicing the

appliance.

Warning

Disconnect power supply before any wiring/service is performed. Failure to do so could

result in damage to appliance and/or electric shock.

Caution

The boiler must be installed so that electrical components are not exposed to water

during operation.
