Caring For Your FT Series Boiler
Your FT Series boiler will require very little maintenance. However, as with any fine appliance there are certain steps that should be taken to ensure continuing optimum performance.
General Care
- Keep the area around the FT Series boiler clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors.
- The FT Series Boiler must be completely isolated and protected from any source of corrosive chemical fumes such as trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine, etc.
- Keep bottom and top openings on the boiler free for proper ventilation of interior components.
- Do not obstruct or block a free flow of air to the boiler to ensure proper ventilation.
- If desired, clean the jacket surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use flammable cleaning materials.
- If sidewall vented, keep the vent terminal clear of obstructions — do not allow snow to cover the vent terminal. Clean the intake screen often, and then develop an appropriate maintenance schedule.
Annual Inspection of Flue and Vents
Visually inspect the vent pipe once a year. Should any deterioration exist,
have the affected parts replaced by a qualified service person.
In the Event of a Power Failure
The FT Series boiler can not be operated during an electrical power outage. If
there is an extended power outage with danger from freezing, then the FT
Series Boiler (and all other water systems) should be drained completely. When
draining the boiler, turn off main electrical disconnect switch. When placing
back in service, refer to Section 3 of this Manual for instruction. All
draining and filling must only be done by a qualified service person.
Full Service Every Year
In addition to the annual visual inspections, a qualified service agency
should conduct a detailed inspection of all flue product carrying areas of the
boiler and its venting system.
Shut Down and Restart
To Start the FT Series boiler
If drained, please refer to the Install and Operating Manual to ensure that the complete ‘Setup’ procedure has been followed before starting this boiler. A complete ‘Setup’ must be performed by a qualified service person.
Shutting Down the FT Series boiler
- Turn off the main electrical disconnect switch.
- Close all manual gas valves.
- If freezing is anticipated, drain the FT Series Boiler and be sure to also protect building piping from freezing. All water must be removed from heat exchanger and condensate trap or else damage from freezing may occur. Please refer to the Install and Operating Manual, Doc # 1483 This step to be performed by a qualified service person.
The Control Display and Operation
The Control Display has a Control Dial (E), 4 buttons (A, B, C, D), and a Liquid Crystal Display (with 72 back-lit segments). This section of this manual gives instruction on how to navigate into the many functions of the FT and to change temperature set points, set system variables and controller parameters.
Temperature Specifications
Operating ambient Temperature Range : -10 to 60°C. Operating Relative Humidity
up to: 90% at 40°C. Shipping & Storage Temperature Range of : -20 to 80°C.
WARNING Do no use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that may have been under water.
The LCD will illuminate when a user action is detected (a button is pressed) and will turn back off after 20 seconds.
