IMPORTANT

READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING

WARNINGS AND STATEMENTS

BEFORE READING THE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The installation must conform to the requirements of the

authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such

requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z2231

latest edition or CSA B 149.1 latest edition

for natural gas

and propane

. The installation must also conform to the

additional requirements in this Slant/Fin Instruction Book.

In addition, where required by the authority having juris dic -

tion, the installation must conform to American Society of

Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety

. If there is

any conflict in the above requirements, then the more

stringent requirement will apply.

This manual must be left with owner and should be hung

on or adjacent to the boiler for reference.

WARNING

This boiler, gas piping and accessories must be installed,

connected, serviced and repaired by a trained, experienced

service technician, familiar with all precautions required for

gas-fired equipment and licensed or otherwise qualified, in

Sentinel 4 WARNING SPECIAL ATTENTION FOR LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM(L.P.) PROPANE GAS-FIRED BOILER INSTALLATIONS LPG appliances (boilers) shall be installed in accordance with applicable provisions of NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) latest edition for installations in US and CAN/CGA B149.1 latest edition for installations in Canada Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air therefore Propane gas can accumulate at floor level. If you suspect a leak, do not attempt to operate boiler.

Sentinel 5 D. Vent or breeching into chimney should not be inserted past the inside wall of the chimney liner. E. All venting means should be inspected frequently. See Care and Maintenance and separate User's Information Manual. VENT DAMPER INSTALLATION The vent damper referred to in the following instructions is the Slant/Fin LTD/LTEE vent damper. I. This device is design certified by CSA for use ONLY on specific Slant/Fin gas boiler models.
PAGE 6
Sentinel 6 B. NOW, PROCEED AS FOLLOWS: 1. Separate the vent pipe directly on top of the draft hood or diverter and place damper in position as shown in figures 1–6. The vent damper must be installed so that the damper position indicator is in a visible location after installation. See figure 4 for position indicator description. The arrow imprint on the damper should point in direction of vent gas flow (towards chimney). Re-assemble the vent piping.

Sentinel 7 ELECTRICAL WIRING DANGER: Before wiring, always turn off electric power supply, 2. Power Connection Connect hot and neutral to L1 and L2 terminal of the boiler control (See figure 7). Connect ground wire to ground screw inside boiler control. 1. Power Supply A separately fused circuit is recommended. Use a standard 15 Amp. fuse or breaker and 14 gauge conductors in BX cable or circuit. 3.

IMPORTANT NOTICE This boiler is equipped with a feature that saves energy by reducing the boiler water temperature as the heating load decreases. This feature is equipped with an override which is provided primarily to permit the use of an external energy management system that serves the same function.

Sentinel 12 TARGET u v w x y z { TEMP LWCO ECONOMY w LWCO ACTIVE Indicates that the low water cut-off (LWCO) function of the Fuel Smart HydroStat is active. When the control is installed with a Hydrolevel Electro-Well, this LED will be on at all times when the control is powered. IMPORTANT: If the control is installed with a well other than the Electro-Well, this LED will not illuminate indicating that the control is not providing low water cut-off functionality.

Sentinel 13 GAS PIPING A. Local installation codes apply. The pipe joint compound used on threads must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. B. The gas supply line to the boiler should be run directly from the meter for natural gas or from the fuel tank for L.P. propane gas. See page 2 for location of union and manual main shutoff valve that may be specified locally. Selecting pipe size for natural gas: 1. Measure or estimate the length of piping from the meter to the installation site.

Sentinel 14 WATER PIPING I. CIRCULATING SYSTEMS A. Hot water heating systems include a water circulating pump which may be mounted on the supply or return side of the boiler based on system design. See figure 5. II. AIR CONTROL SYSTEM A. DIAPHRAGM EXPANSION TANKS are used to control system pressure in an AIR ELIMINATING SYSTEM: an automatic air vent is used to REMOVE air from the system water. See figure 9. If system pressure needs further control, add an additional tank or install a larger capacity tank.

Sentinel 15 Example #1: For 8.29 W/m3 gas, this becomes: Input = m3 metered in 3 minutes × 8.29 × 20 (For 1000 Btu/cu.ft. gas, this becomes: Input = cu. ft. metered in 3 minutes × 1000 × 20) Example #2: For 8.70 W/m3 gas this becomes: Input = m3 metered in 3 minutes × 8.70 × 20 (For 1050 Btu/cu.ft. gas, this becomes: Input = cu. ft. metered in 3 minutes × 1050 × 20) Figure 11. Valve VR8204 or VR8304 4. The higher heating value* of gas varies substantially for different localities.

Sentinel 16 C. Main Burner Ignition Checkout and Pilot Adjustment. 1. The pilot flame must not smother or snuff out when tested as follows: a. Main burner ignition from cold start – repeat. b. Continued operation of main burner. c. Main burner ignition with appliance at maximum operating temperature after prolonged operation. NOTE: Observe operation of the pilot burner with appliance doors in the final operating position. Use of a mirror may be helpful. 2. Safety Shutdown Checkout a.

Sentinel 17 JACKET TOP be prohibited when system water/glycol solution is in contact with a potable water vessel (as with a tankless heater). PROPYLENE GLYCOL is used in the quickfreeze food industry; it is practically non-toxic. Its use may be permitted when tankless heaters are used. When anti-freeze must be used, inhibited propylene glycol is recommended. Useful information on the characteristics, mixing proportions, etc. of glycol in heating systems is given in Technical Topics No.

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR SERVICEPEOPLE BURNERS FAIL TO OPERATE CAUSE 1. Safety pilot out, or flame too low. 2. Gas supply valve shut off. 3. Electric switch open. 4. Blown or defective line fuse. 5. Operating or limit control contacts open or dirty. 6. Defective gas valve or pressure regulator; or plugged bleed line. 7. Defective low voltage transformer. 8. Obstruction at main burner orifice. 9. Break in wiring or loose contact at control terminals. 10. Improper wiring. 11. Improper controls.
PAGE 19
Sentinel 19 IF REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NEEDED When parts are needed, refer to boiler model and serial number shown on the boiler name/rating plate.Whenever possible refer to the original order by number and date. Control identification and replacement should not be attempted by unskilled personnel. Only simple, easily-identified controls and parts maybe obtained locally. All other controls and parts should be identified by and ordered from Slant/Fin.

Sentinel 20 APPENDIX C Thermostat Heat Anticipator Settings Fixed anticipator thermostats are not adjustable. Adjustable anticipator thermostats, depending on thermostat model, may be adjustable from a .18 to a .9 setting by moving a pointer on the anticipator. The higher the anticipator setting (towards .9) the longer it will take for the thermostat to respond to a change in room temperature. Too high a setting and the boiler will be slow to respond to a temperature change in the room.
