Ensure the boiler location allows the combus-tion air/vent piping to be routed directly throughthe building and terminate properly outside witha minimum amount of length and bends.

Ensure the area chosen for the installation of thePRESTIGE Solo is free of any combustiblematerials, gasoline and other flammable liq-uids.

Failure to remove or maintain the areafree of combustible materials, gasolineand other flammable liquids or vaporscan result in severe personal injury,death or substantial property damage.

Ensure the PRESTIGE Solo and its controls areprotected from dripping or spraying water dur-ing normal operation or service.

The PRESTIGE Solo should be installed in alocation so that any water leaking from theboiler or piping connections or relief valve willnot cause damage to the area surrounding theunit or any lower floors in the structure.

Boiler Replacement

If the PRESTIGE Solo is replacing an existingboiler, the following items should be checkedand corrected prior to installation:

- Boiler piping leaks and corrosion.

- Improper location and sizing of theexpansion tank on the boiler heatingloop.

- If applicable, level and quality of freezeprotection within the boiler system.

WARNING

NOTICE

Pre-Installation Items

Recommended Clearances

The PRESTIGE Solo is approved for zeroclearance to combustibles, excluding vent andboiler piping.

- Boiler Piping - 1/4 inch from com-bustible materials.

- Reference the appropriate vent supple-ment for clearance requirements.

To provide serviceability to the unit it isrecommended that the following clear-ances be maintained:

Top boiler jacket - 24 inches [610 mm].

Front - 24 inches [610 mm].

Bottom boiler piping - 24 inches[610 mm].

Rear - 0 inches

Sides - 6 inches [153 mm].

If the clearances listed above cannot bemaintained, the space must be ventilated.See page 6 for ventilation requirements.

When maintaining zero clearance or lessthan recommended clearances, someproduct labeling may become hiddenand unreadable

When installing the PRESTIGE Solo ina confined space, sufficient air must beprovided for proper combustion andventing and to allow, under normal oper-ating conditions, proper air flow aroundthe product to maintain ambient temper-atures within safe limits to comply withthe National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 -latest edition.

Residential Garage Installations

When installing the PRESTIGE Solo in a resi-dential garage, the following special precautionsper NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 must be taken:

- Mount the unit with a minimum 18inches [458 mm] above the floor levelof the garage. Ensure the burner andignition devices / controls are no lessthan 18 inches [458 mm] above thefloor level.

- Locate or protect the unit in a matterso it cannot be damaged by a movingvehicle.

Boiler Freeze Protection Feature

The boiler control has an freeze protection fea-ture built in. This feature monitors the boilertemperature and responds as follows when nocall for heat is present:

- 46ºF Boiler circulator is ON

- 38ºF Boiler circulator is ON and burneroperates at low fire

- 50ºF Burner OFF and boiler circulatoroperates for approximately 10 minutes

The boiler freeze protection feature isdisabled during a hard lockout, howeverthe CH circulator will operate.

The boiler freeze protection feature isdesigned to protect the boiler. The boilershould be installed in a primary/sec-ondary piping arrangement if it isinstalled in an unheated space orexposed to water temperatures of 46ºF orless.

SECTION II - Combustion Air andVenting

Combustion Air Contamination

If the PRESTIGE Solo combustion airinlet is located in any area likely to causeor contain contamination, or if products,which would contaminate the air cannotbe removed, the combustion air must berepiped and terminated to another loca-tion. Contaminated combustion air willdamage the unit and its burner system,resulting in possible severe personalinjury, death or substantial propertydamage.

Do not operate a PRESTIGE Solo if itscombustion air inlet is located near alaundry room or pool facility. Theseareas will always contain hazardous con-taminants.

Pool and laundry products and commonhousehold and hobby products oftencontain fluorine or chlorine compounds.When these chemicals pass through theburner and vent system, they can formstrong acids. These acids can create cor-rosion of the heat exchanger, burnercomponents and vent system, causingserious damage and presenting a possi-ble threat of flue gas spillage or waterleakage into the surrounding area.

Please read the information listed below.If contaminating chemicals are locatednear the area of the combustion air inlet,the installer should pipe the combustionair inlet to an outside area free of thesechemicals per SECTION V of thisinstallation manual.

Potential contaminating products

- Spray cans containing chloro/fluorocar-bons

- Permanent Wave Solutions

- Chlorinated wax

- Chlorine - based swimming pool chem-icals / cleaners

- Calcium Chloride used for thawing ice

- Sodium Chloride used for water soft-ening

- Refrigerant leaks

- Paint or varnish removers

- Hydrochloric acid / muriatic acid

- Cements and glues

- Antistatic fabric softeners used inclothe dryers

- Chlorine-type bleaches, detergents, andcleaning solvents found in householdlaundry rooms

- Adhesives used to fasten building prod-ucts and other similar products

Areas likely to contain these products

- Dry cleaning / laundry areas and estab-lishments

- Beauty salons

- Metal fabrication shops

SECTION IV - Boiler Piping

General Piping Requirements

- All plumbing must meet or exceed all local,state and national plumbing codes.

- Support all piping using hangers. DO NOTsupport piping by the unit or its components.

- Use isolation valves to isolate system com-ponents.

- Install unions for easy removal of thePRESTIGE Solo from the system piping.

Use a two wrench method when tighten-ing piping onto the boiler connections.Use one wrench to prevent the boilerpiping from turning / twisting. Failureto support the boiler piping and connec-tions in this manner could cause damageto the boiler and its components.

Pressure Relief Valve

1. The PRESTIGE Solo is supplied with a 30psi pressure relief valve and must be pipedusing the PRV connection as shown in Fig.5 page 15.

2. To avoid potential water damage to the sur-rounding area or potential scalding hazarddue to the operation of the relief valve, thedischarge piping:

- Must be connected to the discharge out-let of the relief valve and directed to asafe place of disposal.

- Length should be as short and direct aspossible. The size of the discharge lineshould not be reduced, maintain thesame size as the outlet of the relief valve.

- Should be directed downward towardsthe floor at all times. The piping shouldterminate at least 6 inches [153 mm]above any drain connection to allowclear visibility of the discharge.

- Should terminate with a plain end, notwith a threaded end. The material ofthe piping should have a serviceabletemperature rating of 250ºF or greater.

- Should not be subject to conditionswhere freezing could occur.

- Should not contain any shut-off valvesor obstructions. No shut-off valveshould be piped between the boiler andrelief valve.

Failure to comply with the guidelines oninstalling the pressure relief valve anddischarge piping can result in personalinjury, death or substantial propertydamage.

Low Water Cutoff Device

- The PRESTIGE Solo is equipped with a fac-tory installed pressure switch type Low WaterCut Off device.

- The minimum operating system pressureallowable with this device is 10 psig.

- Check local codes if a Low Water CutoffDevice is required. If so, determine if thisdevice meets the requirements of the localcodes.

The PRESTIGE Solo control system alsosenses the system water temperaturesentering and exiting the heat exchanger toprovide protection against low water con-ditions Where local codes and jurisdic-tion do not accept a pressure device forlow water protection, the jurisdictionsmay accept these PRESTIGE Solo inte-gral control functions as a means of pro-viding low water protection.

Additional Limit Control

If a separate LWCO device is required by cer-tain local jurisdictions or when the boiler isinstalled above the system piping, the follow-ing guidelines must be followed:

- The LWCO device must be designedfor water installations, electrode probe-type is recommended.

- The LWCO device must be installed ina tee connection on the boiler supplypiping above the boiler.

- Wiring of the LWCO device to thePRESTIGE Solo is done directly ontothe 24V terminal strip, reference Fig.20 page 32 for available terminals foran external limit (manual or auto reset).

If the installation is to comply with ASME orCanadian requirements, an additional hightemperature limit may be needed. Consultlocal code requirements to determine compli-ance. The limit should be installed as follows:

- Install the limit in the boiler supply pip-ing between the boiler and any isolationvalve.

- Maximum set point for the limit is194ºF.

- For wiring of the limit reference Fig. 20,page 32, using the external limit/manualreset terminals on the 24V terminal strip.This will provide a "hard" lockoutrequiring a manual reset of the control.

Backflow Preventer

- Use a backflow preventer valve in themake-up water supply to the unit asrequired by local codes.

Boiler System Piping Applications

It is recommended on all piping applica-tions to utilize a primary/secondary pip-ing arrangement as a means to providefreeze protection of the boiler, which isan integral function of the boiler control.Maintain the minimum boiler flow rate,see Graph 2 on page 68. For other pip-ing arrangements, consult theEngineering Department at TriangleTube or consult other approved/recog-nized design arrangements.

On piping applications utilizing a singlezone or other recognized piping designarrangements, it is recommended that theinstaller uses flow/check valves withweighted seats at or near the appliance toprevent gravity circulation.

Expansion Tank and Makeup Water

Ensure the expansion tank is properly sized forthe boiler volume (3 gallons [12 L] ) and thesystem volume and temperature.

Undersized expansion tanks will causesystem water to be lost through the pres-sure relief valve and cause additionalmakeup water to be added to the system.Eventual boiler heat exchanger failurecan result due to this excessive makeupwater addition.

The expansion tank must be located as shownin Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 on page 18 or as per rec-ognized design methods. Refer to the expan-sion tank manufacturer instructions for addi-tional installation details.

CAUTION

BEST PRACTICE

BEST PRACTICE

16

Boiler Piping

Connect the expansion tank to an air separatoronly if the air separator is located on the suc-tion side (inlet) of the system circulator.Always locate and install the system fill con-nection at the same location as the expansiontank connection to the system.

Diaphragm Expansion Tank

Always install an automatic air vent on the topof the air separator to remove residual air fromthe system.

Closed-Type Expansion Tank

It is recommended to pitch any horizontal pip-ing upwards toward the expansion tank 1 inchper 5 feet of piping. Use 3/4” piping for theexpansion tank to allow air within the systemto rise.

DO NOT install automatic air vents on aclosed-type expansion tank system. Airmust remain in the system and bereturned to the expansion tank to pro-vide an air cushion. An automatic airvent would cause air to be vented fromthe system resulting in a water-loggedexpansion tank.

Circulator

The PRESTIGE Solo is supplied with aCentral Heating (CH) circulator that is pre-wired to allow for domestic hot water priorityand to provide circulation for the freeze protec-tion feature of the boiler control. See Graph 2on page 68 for pressure drop and minimumflow rate through the boiler.

Sizing Primary Piping

See Fig. 8 through 14, pages 20 - 24, for rec-ommended piping arrangements based on vari-ous applications.

Size the piping and system componentsrequired in the space heating system, using rec-ognized design methods.

Domestic Hot Water System Piping

The PRESTIGE Solo is provided with a sepa-rate boiler connection for Domestic Hot Water(DHW) systems (1” NPT.). This connectionensures priority is given to the production andrecovery of the DHW.

The piping for the DHW is separate from theboiler system piping and does not require a pri-mary / secondary piping configuration.

See Fig. 8 , page 20 for recommended piping toa DHW system.

If an indirect fired water heater is notutilized cap the (1” NPT) DHW connec-tion with an adequate amount of pipedope to ensure a seal. See Fig. 5 on page15 for location of DHW connection

To wire the DHW circulator to the boiler con-trol module reference Section VIII - ExternalWiring.

System Piping - Zone Circulators

Connect the PRESTIGE Solo to the systempiping as shown in Fig. 9 page 21 when zoningwith zone circulators.

The installer must provide a separate circulatorfor each zone of space heating.

To ensure adequate flow rate throughthe PRESTIGE Solo, maintain a mini-mum 1 inch diameter on the system pip-ing connecting to the boiler.

System Piping - Zone Valves

Connect the PRESTIGE Solo to the systempiping as shown in Fig. 10 page 21 when zon-ing with zone valves. The primary / secondarypiping ensures that the boiler loop has sufficientflow.

To ensure adequate flow rate throughthe PRESTIGE Solo, maintain a mini-mum 1 inch diameter on the system pip-ing connecting to the boiler.

System Piping - Through Boiler

In applications in which primary/secondarypiping is not utilized and the system is zonedwith zone valves a circulator could pumpthrough the boiler and system directly. Whenpumping through with more than one zone, apressure differential bypass valve is required toavoid dead heading the pump through the postpump feature of the control. Consult Fig. 11and 12 page 22 for piping diagrams and Graph2 on page 68 for proper circulator sizing.

System Piping - Radiant Heating

The heat exchanger design of the PRESTIGESolo allows operation in a condensing mode.This feature requires no regulation of the returnwater-temperature back to the boiler in radiantheating applications.

The boiler water supply temperature can bemaintained by the PRESTIGE Solo, eliminat-ing the need for a mix system to achieve thedesired temperature.

It is recommended for the installer to add ahigh temperature limit as shown in Fig. 13page 23. This will ensure that the primary sup-ply temperature does not exceed the maximumallowable temperature for the radiant tubing.

The addition of the high temperaturelimit is important if the PRESTIGESolo is connected to a domestic hot watersystem, which requires a high primarysupply water temperature.

Size the system piping and circulator to providethe flow needed for the radiant system.

To ensure adequate flow rate throughthe PRESTIGE Solo, maintain a mini-mum 1 inch diameter on the system pip-ing connecting to the boiler.

System Piping - Special Application

If the boiler is used in conjunction with achilled water/medium system, the boiler andchiller must be piped in parallel. Installflow/check valves to prevent the chilled medi-um from entering into the boiler.

If the boiler is used to supply hot water to theheating coils of an air handler where they maybe exposed to chilled air circulation, installflow/check valves or other automatic meansto prevent gravity circulation of the boilerwater during cooling cycles.

System Piping - Multiple Units Installation

Use a balanced manifold system as the pri-mary / secondary connection to the spaceheating piping as shown in Fig. 14 page 24.

Maintain a minimum of 6 inches [153 mm] ofclearance between units to allow for servic-ing.

Refer to Figs. 6 and 7 page 18 to install air sep-arator and expansion tank.

For the space heating piping refer to the appli-cations mentioned in this manual or use recog-nized design methods.

Installing Vent/ Combustion Air & Condensate Drain

SECTION V - Installing Vent /Combustion Air & Condensate Drain

Installing Vent and Combustion Air

The PRESTIGE Solo must be ventedand supplied with combustion air asshown in the PRESTIGE Solo VentSupplement, included in the boilerinstallation envelope. Refer to optionalvent kit instructions for additional ventinstallation instructions. Once installa-tion is completed, inspect the vent andcombustion air system thoroughly toensure systems are airtight and complywith the instructions given in the ventingsupplement and are within all require-ments of applicable codes. Failure tocomply with the installation require-ments on the venting and combustion airpiping will cause severe personal injuryor death.

Installing Condensate Drain Assembly

1. Locate the condensate drain assembly andinstall as shown in Fig. 15 page 26.

The installer may want to fill the con-densate trap with water prior to assem-bling on the unit.

2. Remove the retaining nut and rubber sealfrom the condensate drain assembly andslide over the heat exchanger condensatedrain nipple. Connect the condensate drainassembly to the retaining nut and tighten.Hand tight only!

Ensure the condensate drain assemblycontains the plastic seated ball. Do notinstall the condensate drain assembly ifthe ball is lost or missing, replace theentire assembly.

3. Remove the compression nut and rubberseal from the drain outlet.

4. Using 3/4” x 2’ flexible PVC tube provid-ed, slide the compression nut and rubberseal over the pipe

The use of 3/4” PVC or CPVC pipe isalso acceptable. If 3/4” pipe is useddeburr and chamfer pipe to allow mat-ing onto the drain assembly.

5. Thread the rubber seal into the compres-sion nut to ease installation of the pipe tothe drain assembly.

6. Seat the pipe onto the drain assembly andtighten the compression nut. Hand tightonly!

The installer may opt to using 13/16" IDtubing in lieu of rigid piping.

The drain line materials must be anapproved material by the authority hav-ing jurisdiction. In absence of suchauthority, PVC and CPVC piping mustcomply with ASTM D1785 or D2845.The cement and primer used on the pip-ing must comply with ASME D2564 orF493. For installations in Canada, useCSA or ULC certified PVC or CPVCpipe, fittings and cement/primer.

Installing Vent/ Combustion Air & Condensate Drain

7. Continue the pipe from the drain assemblyto a floor drain or condensate pump.

When selecting and installing a conden-sate pump, ensure the pump is approvedfor use with condensing boilers and fur-naces. The pump should be equippedwith an overflow switch to prevent prop-erty damage from potential condensatespillage.

8. The PRESTIGE Solo will typically producea condensate that is considered slightlyacidic with a pH content below 3.0. Installa neutralizing filter if required by authorityhaving jurisdiction.

The condensate drain must remain filledand unobstructed and allow unrestrictedflow of condensate. The condensateshould not be subject to conditionswhere freezing could occur. If the con-densate is subjected to freezing orbecomes obstructed , it can leak, result-ing in potential water damage to theboiler and surrounding area.

The gas supply piping must be installedin accordance to all applicable local,state and national codes and utilityrequirements.

1. Install a 1/2” NPT pipe union at the factorysupplied gas nipple, for ease of service.

2. Install a manual shutoff valve in the gassupply piping as shown in Fig. 16. Forinstallations in Canada the installer musttag and identify the main shutoff valve.

3. Install a sediment trap (drip leg) on the gassupply line prior to connecting to thePRESTIGE Solo gas train as shown inFig. 16.

4. Support the gas piping using hangers. Donot support the piping by the unit or itscomponents.

5. Purge all air from the gas supply piping.

6. Before placing the PRESTIGE Solo intooperation, check and test all connectionsfor leaks.

- Close the manual shutoff valve duringany pressure test with less than 13”w.c..

- Disconnect the PRESTIGE Solo andits gas valve from the gas supply pipingduring any pressure test greater than13”w.c..

Do not check for gas leaks with an openflame. Use a gas detection device or bub-ble test. Failure to check for gas leakscan cause severe personal injury, deathor substantial property damage.

7. Use pipe dope compatible with natural andpropane gases. Apply sparingly only to themale threads of pipe joints so that pipedope does not block gas flow.

Failure to apply pipe dope as detailedabove can result in severe personalinjury, death or substantial propertydamage.

Use a two-wrench method of tighteninggas piping near the unit and its gas pip-ing connection. Use one wrench to pre-vent the boiler gas line connection fromturning and the second to tighten adja-cent piping. Failure to support the boil-er gas piping connection could damagethe gas line components.

Start-Up Preparation

SECTION IX - Start-Up Preparation

Check Boiler System Water Chemistry

Do not use petroleum-base cleaning orsealing compounds in the boiler system.Damage to seals and gaskets in the sys-tem components could occur, resulting insubstantial property damage.

System water including additives must bepractically non-toxic, having a toxicityrating or Class of 1, as listed in ClinicalToxicology of Commercial Products.

Water pH Level 6.0 to 8.0

Maintain the boiler water pH between 6.0 and8.0. Check using litmus paper or contact a watertreatment company for a chemical analysis.

If the pH does not meet this requirement, donot operate the PRESTIGE Solo or leave theunit filled until the condition is corrected.

Water Hardness Less Than 7 Grains

For areas with unusually hard water (hardnessabove 7 grains) consult a water treatmentcompany.

Chlorinated Water

Do not use the PRESTIGE Solo to heat aswimming pool or spa directly.

Maintain the chlorine level of the water at lev-els considered safe for drinking.

Flush Boiler and Domestic System toRemove Sediment

The installer must flush the boiler system toremove any sediment to allow proper operationof the PRESTIGE Solo .

Flush the systems until the water runs cleanand is free of sediment.

For boiler zoned systems, each zone should beflushed through a purge valve. Purge valvesand isolation valves should be installed on eachzone to allow proper flushing of the system.

Check and Test Antifreeze

For boiler systems containing antifreeze solu-tions, follow the antifreeze manufacturer’sinstructions in verifying the inhibitor level andto ensure the fluid characteristics are withinspecification requirements.

Due to the degradation of inhibitors over time,antifreeze fluids must be periodically replaced.Refer to the manufacturer of the antifreeze foradditional instructions.

System water including additives must bepractically non-toxic, having a toxicityrating or Class of 1, as listed in ClinicalToxicology of Commercial Products.

NOTICE

NOTICE

WARNING

38

Start-Up Preparation

Use of Antifreeze in the Boiler System

NEVER use automotive or ethylene gly-col antifreeze or undiluted antifreeze inthe primary system as freeze protection.This can cause severe personal injury,death or substantial property damage ifignored.

Determine the antifreeze fluid quantity usingthe system water content volume and followingthe antifreeze manufacturer instructions.

The water volume of the PRESTIGE Solo isapproximately 3 gallons (12 L). Remember toinclude the volume of the expansion tank.

Check with local codes requirements for theinstallation of backflow preventers or actualdisconnect from the boiler’s cold water fill ormake up water supply line.

Massachusetts Code requires a pressurereducer backflow preventer if antifreezeis used.

Ensure the concentration of antifreeze to waterdoes not exceed a 50/50 ratio.

System water, including additives, mustbe practically non-toxic, having a toxicityrating or Class of 1, as listed in ClinicalToxicology of Commercial Products.

Filling the Boiler System

1. Close the boiler drain valve located on thebottom of the unit and any manual or auto-matic air vent in the system.

2. Open all system isolation valves.

3. Fill the boiler system to correct systempressure. Correct pressure will vary witheach application.

Typical residential system fill pressure is12 psi. System pressure will increasewhen system temperature increases.Operating pressure of the system shouldnever exceed 25 psi.

4. Purge air and sediment in each zone of theboiler system through the purge valve.Open air vents to allow air to be purged inthe zones.

5. Once the system is completely filled andpurged of all air and sediment, check thesystem pressure and check/repair anyleaks.

Unrepaired system leaks will cause con-tinual makeup water to be added to theboiler. Continual makeup water couldcause mineral buildup within the heatexchanger, reducing the heat transfer,causing possible heat buildup and even-tual heat exchanger failure.

Check Low Water Cut-Off Device

- The PRESTIGE Solo is provided with afactory installed LWCO device that mea-sures system pressure of more than 10 psi.

- Remove the front jacket panel and check forcontinuity across the low water cut-offdevice wire terminals. The contacts shouldbe closed when system pressure is greaterthan 10 psi. See Item 5, on Fig. 27 page 62.

Start-Up Preparation

Check For Gas Leaks

Prior to start-up and during initial opera-tion, smell near the floor and around theunit for gas odorant or any unusual odor.Do not proceed with the start-up if thereis any indication of a gas leak. Any leaksfound must be repaired immediately.

Propane installations only - The propanesupplier mixes an odorant with thepropane to make its presence detectable.In some cases the odorant can fade andthe gas may no longer have an odor.

Prior to start-up of the unit and periodi-cally after start-up have the propanesupplier check and verify the odorantlevel.

Check Thermostat Circuit

- Disconnect the external thermostat wiresfrom the 24V terminal strip on the wiringpanel.

- Connect a voltmeter across the wire ends ofthe external thermostat wiring.

- Close each thermostat, zone valve andrelay in the external circuit one zone at atime and check the voltage reading acrossthe wire ends.

- There should NEVER be voltage measuredat the wire ends.

- If voltage is measured at the panel under anycondition, check and correct the externalwiring.

In systems using 3-wire zone valves,backfeed of voltage to the unit is a com-mon problem. Use an isolation relay toprevent voltage from the external circuitentering the PRESTIGE Solo controlpanel.

- Reconnect the external thermostatwires to the 24V terminal strip on thewiring panel.

Inspection of Condensate Drain Assembly

1. Inspect and ensure the condensate drainassembly is properly installed as describedon page 25 and shown in Fig. 15 on page26.

2. Remove the plug from the condensate drainassembly and fill the trap with fresh water.

The condensate drain assembly must befilled with water when the PRESTIGESolo is in operation. The condensatedrain assembly prevents flue gas emis-sions from entering the condensate line.Failure to ensure trap is filled with watercould result in severe personal injury ordeath.

3. Re-Install plug in condensate drain assem-bly.

Check the PRESTIGE Solo and System

c Check Boiler Piping.

Check Boiler system piping and com-ponents for leaks. If found, shut downthe unit and repair immediately.

Purge any remaining air from the systempiping. Air in the system piping willinterfere with circulation creating heatdistribution problems and system noise.

c Check Vent Piping and Combustion AirPiping.

Check for gas-tight seal at every con-nection and seam of the venting andcombustion air inlet piping.

41

Start-Up Procedures

Venting system must be sealed gas-tightto prevent flue gas spillage and potentialcarbon monoxide emissions, which willresult in severe personal injury or death.

c Check Gas Piping

Check around the unit for gas odor fol-lowing the procedure outlined in thismanual on Page 39.

If any gas leaks are found or suspected,shut the unit down immediately. Use agas detection device or bubble test tolocate the source of the gas leak andrepair at once. Do not operate the unituntil the leak is corrected. Failure tocomply with this procedure could resultin severe personal injury, death or sub-stantial property damage.

c Verify Flame Pattern and Combustion

Check the flame pattern through theinspection port of the heat exchanger.The flame should be blue and stable.The flame should be the length of theburner head openings.

The combustion testing and adjustmentsmust be performed by a qualifiedinstaller, service agency or the gas suppli-er. All combustion measurements must beperform with calibrated equipment toensure proper reading and accuracy.

Test for CO2 or O2 and for CO duringhigh firing rate. To manually place theboiler into high fire mode, referencepage 45, the combustion reading shouldbe within the range listed in Table 2.The CO level should not exceed 100ppm when combustion is correct.

The combustion levels should be mea-sured at high firing rate, refer to page 45of the PRESTIGE Solo control sectionon how to set the firing rate. If the com-bustion levels are not within the rangegiven in Table 2 for the firing rate, shutthe boiler down and contact TriangleTube Engineering Department. Failureto comply with this requirement couldresult in severe personal injury, death orsubstantial property damage.

4. Press the "STORE" button to save the setting.

Operation Verification - Space Heating

Digits and characters shown as [00000000],in the following outline, represent thecontrol panel display. The last three dig-its on the display is the measured boilerwater temperature and may differ fromwhat is shown in the manual.

1. Disconnect the DHW (Domestic HotWater) thermostat wiring from the PRES-TIGE Solo or turn down DHW tank aqua-stat (if used) to ensure the boiler does notreceive a DHW call for heat.

2. Set the room thermostat to the lowest setting.

3. Turn off power to the boiler, wait a fewseconds and turn on power to the boiler.

4. The following displays should occur:

[A140] Self check on power up

[0140] No call for heat

5. Initiate a call for heat by raising the setpoint of the room thermostat to the highestsetting. The following display shouldoccur.

[5140] This is a fan / air flow check. Theburner blower will be energized momentar-ily prior to the prepurge cycle.

[1140] This is the prepurge cycle. Theboiler blower and the CH (Central Heating)circulator become energized. The blowerhas a 10 second prepurge cycle.

[2140] This is the ignition cycle. The con-trol module will energize and open the gasvalve and begin the spark for ignition.

- If the burner flame proves within 4.5seconds, the burner will continue to fireat an ignition fan speed for approxi-mately 10 seconds to stabilize theflame.

- If the burner flame is not proven within4.5 seconds, the control module willrepeat the ignition sequence. If theflame is not proven after 5 attempts thecontrol will lockout and the display willshow [E-02]

- To verify flame failure lockout, closethe manual shut off valve on the gassupply piping to the boiler and repeatignition sequence. When verification iscompleted, ensure the manual shut offvalve is returned to the open position.

[3140] This is the normal operation cycle.After the flame is proven and stabilizedthe burner will fire at low input forapproximately 1 minute. After this timeperiod, the control module will begin tomodulate the burner firing rate based onactual boiler outlet temperature and the setpoint temperature.

Outdoor Reset Control

SECTION XI - Outdoor Reset Control

Mounting the Outdoor Sensor

1. Remove the front cover and mountingscrews / anchors from the sensor enclosure.

2. When mounting the enclosure the exteriorwall selected should represent the heat loadof the building. Typically a northern ornortheastern wall will suit most buildings.A southern facing wall for those buildings,which may have large glass walls or win-dows on the southern face.

3. Ensure the sensor enclosure is shieldedfrom direct sunlight or the effects of heat orcold from other sources (exhaust fans,appliance vents...) to prevent false temper-ature sensing.

4. Mount the sensor enclosure at an elevationon the exterior wall to prevent accidentaldamage or tampering.

5. Avoid mounting the enclosure in areas sub-jected to excessive moisture.

6. Once an area on the exterior wall has beendetermined, to affix the enclosure use theenclosure as a template to mark the locationof the mounting screws.

7. Using a 3/16” drill bit, drill 2 pilot holes onthe marked locations.

8. Tap the enclosed plastic anchors into thepilot holes. Use care not to damage theanchors.

9. Mount the sensor enclosure using thescrews provided.

Wiring the Sensor

1. Unthread the sealing nut and remove thesealing gasket from the sensor enclosure.

2. Route 18 AWG 2-wire cable or similar wirecable through the sealing nut and gasket.Connect the wire ends to the sensor termi-nals 1 and 2.

3. Re-insert the sealing gasket and tighten thesealing nut to the sensor enclosure.

4. Route the sensor cable back to the PRES-TIGE Solo boiler, ensuring the cable is notroute parallel to telephone or power cables.

If the sensor cable is located in an areawith sources of potential electromagneticinterference (EMI) the sensor cableshould be shielded or the wires should berouted in a grounded metal conduit. Ifusing shielded cable the shield wireshould be connected to the commonground of the unit.

5. Connect the sensor wire to the outdoor sen-sor terminals on the 24V terminal strip locat-ed inside the boiler enclosure (see unitwiring diagram, Fig. 20 page 30).

Summer / Winter Switch at Boiler

Check Boiler System

Verify all system components are correctlyinstalled and operating correctly.

Check the cold fill pressure for the system, typ-ical cold water fill pressure is 12 psig.

Verify the system pressure, as the unit operates athigh temperature, to ensure the pressure does notexceed 25 psig. Excessive pressure reading indi-cates expansion tank sizing is incorrect or systemperformance problems.

Inspect air vent and air separators in the sys-tem. Remove the caps on automatic air ventsand briefly depress the valve stem to flushvent. Replace the cap when completed. Ensurevents do not leak, replace any leaking vents.

Maintenance Procedures

Check Expansion Tank

Refer to Section IV - Boiler Piping for rec-ommended location of the expansion tankand air eliminators.

Close -Type Tank:

- Ensure tank is partially filled withwater leaving an air gap as a cushion.Refer to the manufacturer’s instructionfor proper fill level.

- Ensure the tank is fitted with a devicethat reduces gravity circulation of air-saturated tank water back into the sys-tem. This device prevents air frombubbling up through the water as itreturns from the system.

- Ensure no automatic air vents are usedin the system. This will allow air toescape from the system instead ofreturning to the tank.

Diaphragm Tank:

- Ensure the system contains a minimum ofone automatic air vent. Recommendedlocation of the air vent should be atop anair eliminator.

- Remove the tank from the system andcheck the charge pressure. For residen-tial applications the charge pressure istypically 12 psig. If tank does not holda charge pressure, then the membrane isdamaged and the tank should bereplaced.

Check Boiler Relief Valve

Inspect the relief valve and lift the lever to ver-ify flow at least annually or as recommendedon the warning tag of the valve.

Before manually operating the pressurerelief valve, ensure the discharge piping isdirected to a suitable place of disposal toavoid a potential scald hazard. The dis-charge piping must be full size withoutrestriction and installed to permit com-plete drainage of both the valve and line.

If after closing the valve, the valve fails to seatproperly or continually weeps, replace therelief valve. Ensure the cause of the reliefvalve to weep is the valve itself, not due to sys-tem over-pressurization caused by an expan-sion tank that is waterlogged or undersized.

Inspection of Ignition Electrode

Remove the ignition electrode from the burnermounting plate.

Remove any white oxides accumulated on theelectrode using fine grit sandpaper or steel wool.If the electrode does not clean to a satisfactorycondition, replace the ignitor.

When replacing the ignition electrode, ensurethe gasket is in good condition and correctlypositioned, replace gasket if necessary.

Check Ignition Wiring and Ground Wiring

Inspect the burner wiring from the burner con-trol module to the ground terminal behind thecontrol panel.

Ensure wiring is in good condition and secure-ly connected.

Check ground continuity of the wiring to theboiler jacket or piping using a continuity meter.

Replace and correct ground wire if ground con-tinuity is not completed and satisfactory.
