property damage.

Service and Maintenance

• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply

before performing service or maintenance.

• Allow the appliance to cool down prior to servicing to

avoid severe burns.

• The CHA ENGER must be maintained as outlined

in this manual and have at least annual service per-

formed by a qualified service technician to ensure

appliance / system reliability.

WARNING

NOTICE

CHALLENGER Operation

• Do not block flow of combustion air to the CHA -

ENGER. If the combustion air blockage is easily

accessible and removable, then remove it. If block-

age is not obvious or cannot be removed, have the

appliance and system checked by a qualified service

technician.

• Do not allow contaminated air to enter the appli-

ance’s combustion air inlet. See page 2 for details.

• The CHA ENGER is equipped with a low water cut

off device. The CH (central heating) system piping

must be filled and pressurized to 12 psig [0.8 bar]

prior to startup. The appliance will shut down if the

pressure falls below 7 psig [0.5 bar].

• Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to

shut off, DO NOT turn OFF or disconnect the elec-

trical supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas

supply at a location external to the appliance.

• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under

water. Immediately call a qualified service techni-

cian to inspect the appliance and to replace any part

of the control system and any gas control, which has

been under water.

Appliance & System Water

• Have the appliance and system water chemistry

checked at least annually by a qualified service tech-

nician.

• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing

compounds in the appliance or system. Gaskets

and seals in the system may be damaged. This can

result in substantial property damage.

• Do not use any product not specifically designed for

hydronic heating systems. Serious damage to the

appliance, piping system, personnel and / or proper-

ty may result.

• Continual fresh makeup water will reduce the life of

the CHA ENGER. Addition of oxygen can cause

internal corrosion in the system components. All

leaks in the piping system must be repaired at once

to prevent makeup water.

• Do not add cold water to a hot appliance. Thermal

shock can cause premature failure to the appliance

heat exchanger.

Comb stion Air - Prevention of Contamination

SECTION I - COMBUSTION AIR - REVENTION OF

CONTAMINATION

If the CHALLENGER combustion air inlet is located

in any area likely to cause or contain contamination,

or if products, which would contaminate the air can-

not be removed, the combustion air must be re-

piped and terminated to another location.

Contaminated combustion air will damage the appli-

ance and its burner system, resulting in possible

severe personal injury, death or substantial property

damage.

Do not operate a CHALLENGER if its combustion air

inlet or the appliance is located in or near a laundry

room or pool facility. These areas will always con-

tain hazardous contaminates.

ool and laundry products and common household

and hobby products often contain fluorine or chlo-

rine compounds. When these chemicals pass

through the burner and vent system, they can form

strong acids. These acids can create corrosion of

the heat exchanger, burner components and vent

system, causing serious damage and presenting a

possible threat of flue gas spillage or water leakage

into the surrounding area.

lease read the following information. If contami-

nating chemicals will be present near the location of

the combustion air inlet, the installer should pipe the

combustion air inlet to another location per the

CHALLENGER installation manual.

eriodic Maintenance

Check the Surrounding Area

To prevent potential of severe personal injury, death

or substantial property damage, eliminate all the

materials listed on page 2 from the area surrounding

the appliance and from the vicinity of the combus-

tion air inlet. If contaminates are found:

Remove products immediately from the area. If they

have been there for an extended period, call a quali-

fied service technician to inspect the appliance for

possible damage from acid corrosion.

If products cannot be removed, immediately call a

qualified service technician to re-pipe the combus-

tion air inlet piping and locate the combustion air

intake away from the contaminated areas.

WARNING

NOTICE

1. Combustible / flammable materials - Do not

store combustible materials, gasoline or other

flammable vapors or liquids near the appliance.

Remove immediately if found.

2. Air contaminates - Products containing chlorine

or fluorine, if allowed to contaminate the com-

bustion air, will cause acidic condensate within

the appliance. This will cause significant dam-

age to the appliance. Read the list of potential

materials listed on page 2 of this manual. If any

of these products are in the room from which the

appliance takes its combustion air, they must be

removed immediately or the combustion air

intake must be relocated to another area.

Check Combustion Air Inlets

1. Verify that ventilation air openings to the

mechanical room are open and unobstructed.

2. Verify that the appliance’s vent termination and

combustion air intake are clean and free of

obstructions. Remove any debris on the air

intake or flue exhaust openings. If removing the

debris does not allow the appliance to operate

correctly, contact your qualified service techni-

cian to inspect the appliance and the vent / com-

bustion air system.

Check Temperature Display and ressure Gauge

1. Ensure the pressure reading on the pressure

gauge does not exceed 25 psig [1.7 bar].

Higher pressure readings may indicate a prob-

lem with the expansion tank.

2. Ensure the temperature on the display panel

does not exceed 194ºF [90ºC]. Higher tempera-

ture readings may indicate a problem with the

operating thermostat controls.

3. Contact a qualified service technician if prob-

lem persists.

Maintenance Proced res

Monthly Maintenance

Check Vent iping

1. Visually inspect the flue gas vent piping for any

signs of blockage, leakage or deterioration of

the piping. Notify a qualified service technician

immediately if any problems are found.

Failure to inspect the venting system as noted and

have it repaired by a qualified service technician can

result in the vent system failure, causing severe per-

sonal injury or death.

Check Combustion Air Inlet iping

1. Visually inspect the combustion air inlet piping for

any signs of blockage. Inspect the entire length

of the combustion air inlet piping to ensure piping

is intact and all joints are properly sealed.

2. Notify a qualified service technician if any prob-

lems are found.

Check ressure Relief Valve

1. Visually inspect the primary pressure relief valve

and the relief valve discharge pipe for signs of

weeping or leakage.

2. If the pressure relief valve often weeps, the

expansion tank may not be operating properly.

Immediately contact a qualified service techni-

cian to inspect the unit and system.

Check Vent Condensate Drain Assembly

1. While the appliance is operating, check the dis-

charge end of the condensate drain tubing.

Ensure no flue gas is leaking from the conden-

sate drain tubing by holding your fingers near

the termination.

2. If you notice flue gas leaking from the opening,

this indicates a dry condensate drain trap. Fill

the condensate trap assembly. Contact a quali-

fied service technician to inspect the appliance

and condensate line and refill the condensate

trap if problem persists regularly.

WARNING

Under some circumstances the CHALLENGER may

not produce enough condensate to keep the con-

densate trap full of liquid. If the trap is not full, small

amounts of flue gases can be emitted into the sur-

rounding area through the condensate drain line.

3. Ensure the condensate drain line is not blocked

by pouring water through the top open port on

the condensate drain assembly. The water

should flow out of the end of the drain line. If

water does not appear at the end of the drain

line, contact a qualified service technician to

inspect and clean the condensate line.

4. To fill the condensate drain assembly, slowly

pour water into the top of the trap assembly until

water appears at the end of the drain line. Stop

filling.

Check Automatic Air Vents (If Used)

1. Remove the cap “A” from any automatic air vent

in the system and check operation by depressing

valve “B” slightly with the tip of a screwdriver. See

Fig. 1.

2. If the air vent valve appears to be working freely

and not leaking, replace cap “A”, screwing it on

fully.

3. oosen cap “A” one full turn to allow vent to

operate properly.

4. Have the air vent replaced by a qualified service

technician if it does not operate correctly.

form a gas leak inspection per steps 1 through 6 of

the Operating Instructions on page 7. If gas odor

or leak is detected, immediately shut down the

appliance following procedures on page 7. Call a

qualified service technician.

2. Visually inspect for leaks around the internal appli-

ance water connections and around the heat

exchanger. Visually inspect the external system pip-

ing, circulators, and system components and fittings.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to

repair any leaks.

Have leaks fixed at once by a qualified service tech-

nician. Failure to comply could result in severe per-

sonal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Operate ressure Relief Valve

1. Before proceeding, verify that the relief valve

outlet has been piped to a safe place of dis-

charge, avoiding any possibility of scalding from

hot water.

To avoid water damage or scalding due to valve

operation, a discharge line must be connected to the

relief valve outlet and directed to a safe place of dis-

posal. This discharge line must be installed by a

qualified service technician or heating / plumbing

installer in accordance with the CHALLENGER

installation manual. The discharge line must be ter-

minated so as to eliminate possibility of severe

burns or property damage should the valve dis-

charge.

WARNING

2. Read the temperature and pressure gauge to

ensure the system is pressurized. ift the relief

valve top lever slightly, allowing water to relieve

through the valve and discharge piping.

3. If water flows freely, release the lever and allow

the valve to seat. Watch the end of the relief

valve discharge pipe to ensure that the valve

does not weep after the line has had time to

drain. If the valve weeps, lift the lever again to

attempt to clean the valve seat. If the valve

does not properly seat and continues to weep

afterwards, contact a qualified service techni-

cian to inspect the valve and system.
