The PI-80 can be wall mountedusing the optional boiler stand available throughyour PB Heat, LLC distributor (Part Number 91439).2. The boiler stand may used for floor mounting of thePI-140 and PI-199 boilers.2. If wall mounted, the boiler must be attached to awall that provides adequate support for the boiler.4

WATER PIPING AND CONTROLSd. Table 3.3 shows the pressure drop (in feet ofwater) for a flow rate which gives a 20°Ftemperature difference for each boiler model.Table 3.3 – Flow Rate and Pressure DropBoilerModelFlow Rate(GPM [LPM])Pressure Drop(Feet [meters])PI-T50 4.0 (15.1) 4.5 (1.22)PI-T80 6.4 (24.2) 5.0 (1.52)PI-80 6.4 (24.2) 5.0 (1.52)PI-140 11.2 (42.4) 8.0 (2.44)PI-199 15.9 (60.2) 13.0 (4.02)e. The boiler pressure drop for various flow ratescan be determined by using Figure 3.2, thePinnacle Circulator Sizing Graph.f. Table 3.4 gives the recommended circulators fora boiler on a secondary loop with water as theheating medium.Table 3.4 – Recommended CirculatorsBoilerModelTACOCirculatorGrundfos CirculatorPI-T50 006 UPS 15-58FC SPD-1PI-T80 007 UPS 15-58FC SPD-2PI-80 007 UPS 15-58FC SPD-2PI-140 0010 UPS 15-58FC SPD-3PI-199 0011 UP 26-64Fg. Special consideration must be given if anti-freezeis to be used as a heating medium. Propyleneglycol has a higher viscosity than water; thereforethe system pressure drop will be higher.11. Indirect Water Heater: An indirect water heatershould be piped in a dedicated zone. It consists of awater tank that is heated by boiler water passingthrough an internal coil. Examples of indirect waterheating are shown in the System Piping subsectionof this Section.D. SYSTEM PIPINGNOTICEThe circulator sizing given is for primary/secondaryinstallations only. The system circulators must besized based on the flow and pressure droprequirements of the system.NOTICEWhen using the domestic hot water priority function,the domestic circulator must be piped directly to theboiler. Also, the circulator must be sized to exceedthe minimum flow rate of the boiler. Failure to followthese instructions will cause the system to operateincorrectly and may cause premature failure of theappliance.Figure 3.2: Pinnacle Circulator Sizing GraphPressure Drop (Feet of Head)Pinnacle Circulator Sizing Graph2120191817161514131211109PI-T5087PI-T80/8065PI-14043PI-1992103 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22Flow Rate (GPM)7

WATER PIPING AND CONTROLS1. Figure 3.3 shows a single boiler with one heatingzone and a Peerless Partner indirect water heater.2. Figure 3.4 shows a single boiler with an additionalzone in which baseboard radiation is the heat load.NOTICEWhen applying multiple boilers, a sequencing controlsuch as the tekmar 265 or the Heat Timer Mini-Mod,should be used. These controls provide control forboiler temperature and domestic circulator operation.3. Figure 3.5 shows diverter tees used in combinationwith conventional hydronic radiators on anadditional zone. A second boiler is also added to thesystem. Notice that the boilers are piped in parallelon the secondary loop. It is important that thecommon headers are sized to match the systempiping. Smaller headers may result in flowfluctuations through the boilers.4. Figure 3.6 shows a system in which several differenttypes of loads and multiple boilers are shown. Thissystem illustrates how different temperature zones canbe supplied from the same source by mixing down thetemperature using a three way mixing valve. Radiantflooring typically requires much lower temperaturesthan baseboard radiation and indirect water heating.Notice that a third boiler is included in this system.5. Figure 3.7 shows zone valves used in place of zonecirculators. Notice that this system utilizes reversereturn piping which makes it easier to balance thesystem. If the heating zones are very different inlength, the balancing valves on the return side ofeach loop are required.E. FREEZE PROTECTION1. Glycol for hydronic applications is speciallyformulated for this purpose. It includes inhibitorswhich prevent the glycol from attacking metallicsystem components. Make certain that the systemfluid is checked for the correct glycol concentrationand inhibitor level.2. Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions of upto 50% by volume. Ethylene glycol is toxic and canchemically attack gaskets and seals used in hydronicsystems.3. The antifreeze solution should be tested at least onceper year and as recommended by the antifreezemanufacturer.Antifreeze solutions expand more than water. Forexample, a 50% by volume solution expands 4.8%for a 148°F temperature rise while water expandsabout 3% for the same temperature increase.Allowance for this expansion must be considered insizing expansion tanks and related components.4. The flow rate in systems utilizing glycol solutionshould be increased compared with a water systemto compensate for increased heating capacity.5. Due to increased flow rate and fluid viscosity thecirculator head requirement will increase. Contact thepump manufacturer to correctly size the circulator fora particular application based on the glycolconcentration and heating requirements.6. A strainer, sediment trap, or some other means forcleaning the piping system must be provided. It shouldbe located in the return line upstream of the boilerand must be cleaned frequently during the initialoperation of the system. Glycol solution is likely toremove mill scale from new pipe in new installations.7. Glycol solution is expensive and leaks should beavoided. Weld or solder joints should be used wherepossible and threaded joints should be avoided.Make up water should not be added to the systemautomatically when a glycol solution is used. Addingmake-up water may significantly dilute the system.8. Check local regulations to see if systems containingglycol solutions must include a back-flow preventeror require that the glycol system be isolated from thewater supply.9. Do not use galvanized pipe in glycol systems.10. Use water that is low in mineral content and makesure there are no petroleum products in the solution.11. Mix solution at room temperature.12. Do not use a chromate treatment.13. Do not use glycol solution in a system that mayreach temperatures above 250°F.14. Refer to Technical Topics, #2a published by theHydronics Institute Division of GAMA for furtherglycol system considerations.F. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS1. If the boiler is used in conjunction with a chilledmedium system, pipe the chiller in a separatesecondary loop.a. Assure that the boiler circulator is disabled duringchiller operation so chilled water does not enterthe boiler.b. Install a flow control valve (spring check valve) toprevent gravity flow through the boiler.c. See figure 3.8 for recommended system piping.2. For boilers connected to heating coils in a forced airsystem where they may be exposed to chilled aircirculation, install flow control valves or other automaticmeans to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler waterduring cooling cycles. See figure 3.9 for illustration.8

GAS PIPING4. GAS PIPINGA . GENERAL1. All fuel piping to the boiler is to be in accordancewith local codes. In the absence of local regulationsrefer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54.2. Size and install piping to provide a supply of gassufficient to meet the maximum demand of allappliances supplied by the piping.B. FUEL LINE SIZING1. The rate of gas to be provided to the boiler can bedetermined by the following:Boiler Input RateInput Rate ( ft³ / hr )( Btu / hr )=Gas Heating Value( Btu / ft ³)Obtain the gas heating value from the gas supplier.2. As an alternative use Table 4.1 which uses typicalheating values for natural gas and liquefiedpetroleum (LP) gas.Table 4.1: Gas Input RatesBoilerGas Input Rate* (ft³/hr)Model Natural Gas LP GasPI-T50 50 20PI-T80 80 32PI-80 80 32PI-140 140 56PI-199 199 79*Natural gas input rates are based on 1000 Btu/ft³, LPinput rates are based on 2500 Btu/ft³.3. Table 4.2 shows the maximum flow capacity ofseveral pipe sizes based on 0.3" of pressure drop.a. The values shown are based on a gas specificgravity of 0.60 (Typical for natural gas).b. Multiply the capacities listed by the factorsindicated in Table 5.3 for gas with a specificgravity other than 0.60 to obtain the correctedcapacity.Table 4.2: Maximum Capacity of Pipe (CFH) for aPressure Drop of 0.3" of WaterPipeLength(Feet)3/4" NPTPipe1" NPTPipe1-1/4"NPTPipe4. The gas piping to the boiler must be a minimum of3/4" pipe. The boiler is supplied with a 3/4" NPT x1/2" NPT bell reducer. Do not remove the reducer.5. Size and install the gas supply piping for no morethan 0.5 inches of water pressure drop between thegas regulator and the boiler.C.

Do not install any piping directly over or in front ofthe boiler. Locate the drop pipe adjacent to theboiler.15

GAS PIPING2. Install a sediment trap as shown in Figure 4.1. Besure to allow clearance from the floor for removal ofthe pipe cap.WARNINGUse a pipe joint sealing compound that is resistant toliquefied petroleum gas. A non-resistant compoundmay lose sealing ability in the presence of this gas,resulting in a gas leak. Gas leaks may potentiallycause an explosion or fire.3. Install a ground joint union between the sedimenttrap and the boiler to allow service of the appliance.4. Install a service valve as shown in Figure 4.1 to allowthe gas supply to be interrupted for service.5. Maintain a minimum distance of 10 feet between thegas pressure regulator and the boiler.6. Check all gas piping for leaks prior to placing theboiler in operation. Use an approved gas detector,non-corrosive leak detection fluid, or other leakdetection method. If leaks are found, turn off all gasflow and repair as necessary.WARNINGWhen checking for leaks, do not use matches,candles, open flames or other methods that providean ignition source. This may ignite a gas leakresulting in a fire or explosion.7. Figure 4.2 and 4.3 are illustrations of the gas shutoffvalve for the Pinnacle Boiler. This valve is to be usedin addition to the gas service valve shownin Figure 4.1.D. GAS SUPPLY PIPING - OPERATION1. The gas line must be properly purged of air to allowboiler to operate. Failure to do so may result inburner ignition problems.2. Table 4.4 shows the maximum and minimum supplypressure to the boiler.a. Gas pressure below the minimum pressure mayresult in burner ignition problems.b. Gas pressure above the maximum may result indamage to the gas valve.CAUTIONDo not subject the gas valve to more than 1/2 psi(13.5" W.C.) of pressure. Doing so may damage thegas valve.Figure 4.1: Gas Supply Piping – Sediment TrapFigure 4.2: PI-80/PI-140/PI-199Gas Valve Shut OffFigure 4.3: PI-T50/PI-T80 Gas Valve Shut Off16

GAS PIPINGTable 4.4: Maximum and Minimum Fuel PressureGasTypePressure (inches of water)Minimum3. To check the gas supply pressure on the gas valve:a. Turn off the power at the service switch.b. Turn off the gas shutoff valve.MaximumNatural 3.7 13.5LP 3.7 13.5c. Using a flat screwdriver, turn the screw inside theinlet pressure tap fitting (see figure 4.4 and 4.5)one turn counterclockwise.d. Attach the manometer tube to the pressure tapfitting.e. Open the gas shutoff valve and start the boiler.f. Read and record the gas pressure while the boileris firing.g. Turn off the boiler and gas shutoff valveh. Remove the manometer tube from the pressuretap fitting and turn the screw to close the internalvalve.WARNINGDo not adjust the throttle screw without monitoringthe carbon dioxide (CO ² ) and carbon monoxide (CO)in the vent pipe. Vent CO emissions above 400 ppmare in excess of most safety standards.b. Turning the throttle screw clockwise will decreasethe gas flow (decreasing CO ² ) and turning itcounterclockwise will increase the gas flow(increasing CO ² ).c. The recommended CO ² settings are given inTable 4.5. In no case should the boiler beallowed to operate with CO emissions in excessof 150 ppm.2. Refer to Section 5, Venting for information onobtaining vent samples from this boiler.Table 4.5: Recommended Vent CO ²SettingsGas TypeNaturalLPFiringRate Vent CO ²Vent COLow 8-1/2% to 9-1/2% < 50 ppmHigh 8-1/2% to 9-1/2% < 100 ppmLow 9-1/2% to 10-1/2% < 50 ppmHigh 9-1/2% to 10-1/2% < 100 ppmi. Turn on the gas shutoff valve and boiler serviceswitch.4. All gas piping must be leak tested prior to placing theboiler in operation.a. If the leak test pressure requirement is higherthan the maximum inlet pressure noted in Table4.4, the boiler must be isolated from the gassupply piping system.b. If the gas valve is exposed to pressures exceeding13.5" of water, the gas valve must be replaced.5. Install the boiler such that the gas ignition systemcomponents are protected from water (dripping,spraying, rain, etc) during operation and service(circulator replacement, condensate trap cleanout,and control replacement, etc).E. MAIN GAS VALVE - OPERATIONFigure 4.4: Gas Valve/Venturi1. Figure 4.4 shows an illustration of the gas valve/venturiassembly for the Pinnacle Boiler.a. The throttle screw on these valves should not beadjusted without a means to measure carbonmonoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO ² )emissions.17

EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE AIR PIPESIZING1. For the PI-T50 and PI-T80 Boilers the exhaust ventand air intake pipes should be 2" Schedule 40 or 80.2. For the PI-80, PI-140, PI-199 the exhaust vent andair intake pipes should be 3" Schedule 40 or 80.3. The total combined equivalent length of exhaustvent and intake air pipe should not exceed 85 feet.a. The equivalent length of elbows, tees, and otherfittings are listed in Table 5.1.b. For example: If the exhaust vent has two 90°elbows and 10 feet of PVC pipe we willcalculate:Further, if the intake air pipe has two 90° elbows,one 45° elbow and 10 feet of PVC pipe, thefollowing calculation applies:Air Intake Pipe Equivalent Length = (2x5)+3+10=23 feetFinally, if a concentric vent kit is used we find:Total Combined Equivalent Length = 20+23+3=46 feetTherefore, the total combined equivalent lengthis 46 feet which is well below the maximum of85 feet.c. The intake air pipe and the exhaust vent areintended to penetrate the same wall or roof ofthe building.19

VENTING, INTAKE AIR AND CONDENSATEd. Effort should be made to keep a minimumdifference in equivalent length between the airintake pipe and the exhaust vent.4. The minimum combined equivalent length is 16equivalent feet.5. The maximum combined equivalent length can beextended by increasing the diameter of the ventpipe. However, the transitions should begin aminimum of 15 equivalent feet from the boiler.a. Transitions should always be made in verticalsections of pipe to prevent the condensate frompooling in the vent pipe.b. Use a 3" x 2" reducing coupling to transition fromthe PI-T50 and PI-T80 boiler connections to a 3"vent.c. Use a 4" x 3" reducing coupling to transition fromthe PI-80, PI-140, and PI-199 boiler connectionsto 4" vent.d. The maximum equivalent length for theincreased diameter vent pipes is 125 feet.Table 5.2: Maximum Equivalent Vent Length forOversized Vent PipeTransitionPoint(ft fromboiler)TEL ofStandard 2”or 3” VentPipe (ft)TEL ofOversized 3”or 4” VentPipe (ft)MaximumTEL of allVent Pipe (ft)15 30 95 12520 40 77-1/2 117-1/225 50 60-1/2 110-1/230 60 43 10335 70 26 9640 80 8-1/2 88-1/2None 85 0 85TEL = Total Equivalent Lengthe.

EXHAUST VENT AND AIR INTAKE PIPEINSTALLATION1. On the PI-T50 and PI-T80 the 2" exhaust ventconnection is located on the top, right side of theboiler and the air intake is on the top, left side. SeeFigure 10.1. The air intake connection is intendedfor a slip fit. No sealant or adhesive is required.3. Use only solid PVC, CPVC, or ABS schedule 40 or80 pipe. FOAM CORE PIPING IS NOT APPROVED.4. Remove all burrs and debris from joints and fittings.All joints of positive pressure vent systems must besealed completely to prevent leakage of flue productsinto the living space.5. All joints must be properly cleaned, primed, andcemented. Use only cement and primer approved foruse with the pipe material. Cement must conform toASTM D2564 for PVC or CPVC pipe and ASTMD2235 for ABS pipe.6. Horizontal lengths of exhaust vent must slope backtowards the boiler not less than ¼" per foot to allowcondensate to drain from the vent pipe. If the ventpipe must be piped around an obstacle that causes alow point in the pipe, a drain pipe must beconnected to allow condensate to drain.7. All piping must be fully supported. Use pipe hangersat a minimum of 4 foot intervals to prevent saggingof the pipe where condensate may form.8. Do not use the boiler to support any piping.9. A screened straight coupling is provided with theboiler for use as an outside exhaust termination.10. A screened intake air tee is provided with the boilerto be used as an outside intake termination.11. The following are optional intake air/exhaust ventterminations available from your PB Heat, LLCdistributor for use with Pinnacle boilers.Table 5.3: Vent Termination KitsDescriptionWARNINGStockCode2" PVC Concentric Vent Termination Kit 914693" PVC Concentric Vent Termination Kit 914032" Stainless Steel Vent Termination Kit 914653" Stainless Steel Vent Termination Kit 914024" Stainless Steel Vent Termination Kit 9140112.

VENTING, INTAKE AIR AND CONDENSATE7. To allow for proper drainage on large horizontalruns, a second line vent may be required and therequired tubing size may increase to 1" I.D.8. A condensate removal pump is required if the boileris below the drain.H. BOILER REMOVAL FROM COMMONVENTING SYSTEMFigure 5.15: Sidewall Venting Below GradeF. EXHAUST TAPPING FOR VENT SAMPLETo obtain a combustion sample a hole must be drilled inthe exhaust vent pipe just above the first elbow at theoutlet of the boiler.a. Drill a 21/64" diameter hole in the vent pipe justabove the first elbow.b. Tap the hole with a 1/8" NPT Pipe Tap.c. Take combustion samples through the tappedhole.d. Thread a standard 1/8" NPT Pipe Plug into thehole.CAUTIONMake sure the condensate drain piping is below thelevel of the boiler to prevent condensate from fillingup the combustion chamber and damaging the boiler.G. CONDENSATE DRAIN INSTALLATION1. This boiler is a high efficiency unit that producescondensate. The condensate must be drained fromthe unit.2. The hose under the unit is a condensate trap whichprevents products of combustion from exiting theboiler through the condensate drain.3. The black plastic 3/4" NPT fitting at the left side ofthe boiler is intended for connection to plastic piping.Do not block vent hole at the top of the fitting.4. Slope the condensate drain piping down away fromthe unit into a floor drain or condensate pump.Check with local codes or ordinances todetermine if the condensate must first beneutralized before running it to a drain.5. Do not route the condensate piping throughunheated spaces that may reach freezingtemperatures.6. Use only plastic piping for the condensate drain line.Metal pipes will corrode and cause blockage of thecondensate drain.1. At the time of removal of an existing boiler from acommon venting system, follow these steps witheach appliance that remains connected. These stepsare to be completed while all components whichremain connected to the common venting system arenot in operation.a. Seal any unused openings in the commonventing system.b. Visually inspect the venting system for proper sizeand horizontal pitch. Verify there is no blockageor restriction, leakage, corrosion, and otherdeficiencies which could cause an unsafecondition.c. Where practical, close all building doors andwindows, including interior doors between thespace in which the appliances that remainconnected to the common venting system arelocated and other areas of the building.d. Turn on any clothes dryers and any appliancenot connected to the common venting system.Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoodsand bathroom exhaust fans, at their maximumspeed. (Do not operate a summer exhaust fan).e. Close fireplace dampers.f. Place the appliance being inspected in operation.Follow the lighting instructions and adjust thethermostat so that the appliance operatescontinuously.g. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief openingafter 5 minutes of main burner operation. Usethe flame of a match or candle, or smoke from acigarette, cigar, or pipe.h. After it has been determined that each applianceremaining connected to the common ventingsystem properly vents when tested as outlinedabove, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,fireplace dampers and any other gas-burningappliance to their previous condition of use.i. Any improper operation of the common ventingsystem should be corrected so that theinstallation conforms with the National Fuel GasCode, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CGAB149.j. The common venting system should be resized toapproach the minimum size determined by usingthe appropriate tables located in the NationalFuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, "Sizingof Category I Venting."24

ELECTRICAL6. ELECTRICALInstall all electrical wiring in accordance with the NationalElectrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and local requirements.NOTICEThis unit when installed must be electricallygrounded in accordance with the requirements of theauthority having jurisdiction or, in the absence ofsuch requirements, with the current edition of theNational Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.A. WIRING1. Refer to Figure 6.1 for connecting the power supplyto the boiler.2. Connect boiler to a 110 volt, single phase, 60 hertzelectrical supply line with a fused disconnect switch.The boiler is fused for a load of 6.3 amperes.3. The boiler electrical connection is located on the leftside of the boiler in the junction box which housesthe service switch.Figure 6.1:Wiring Connections to Boiler Junction Box25

ELECTRICAL4. Make sure to maintain correct polarity on the incomingpower supply wires. If polarity is reversed, the boilercontrol will not sense the main burner flame.5. Connect the ground wire from the incoming powersupply to the green ground screw in the junctionbox. Also, the boiler ground should be connected tothis screw.6. Figure 6.1 shows connections to boiler circulator.a) The maximum current load for the circulatorcircuit is 4.0 amperes.b) For loads greater than 4.0 amps, isolate thecirculator using a switching relay.c) An example of this wiring using a HoneywellR845A relay is shown in Figure 6.27. The thermostat connections are shown in Figure 6.1or 6.2. The setting for the thermostat anticipator is0.56 amps.8. The boiler circulator board is shown in Figure 6.3.9. Factory wiring of all controls and safety devices areshown in Figure 6.4.B. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION1. System Power-Up:a) When power is first applied to the boiler, thecontrol will initially run through a self-diagnosticroutine. The interface unit shows the systemsupply temperature.b) Next, it will power the combustion air fan for a 10second purge cycle.c) Finally the combustion air shuts down and if thereis no call for heat the control board enters astandby mode.2. Heating Cycle:a) When the thermostat calls for heat (closing thecontact between the two gray [TSTAT] wires) andthe boiler control senses a supply temperaturelower than the set point by more than thedifferential, the boiler initiates a heating cycle.b) The control then powers the combustion air fanat the speed prescribed for the particular boilermodel and performs a 6 second pre-purge of thecombustion chamber.c) 0.5 second before the pre-purge is completepower is applied to the spark igniter.Figure 6.226

ELECTRICALFigure 6.3:P825 Control Board with Molex ® Connector & Pin Designations27

ELECTRICALd) Once the pre-purge cycle is complete, the fanspeed decreases to the programmed ignitionspeed.e) The main gas valve is then energized to allow gasto mix with the combustion air.f) If the main flame is not detected in 5 seconds, thegas valve closes and the combustion fan goes intopost-purge. Otherwise, the combustion fan stays atthe ignition speed for the length of the flamestabilization period. (10 to 25 seconds).g) After the flame stabilization period is complete, thecombustion air fan ramps down to its low firesetting. Then the boiler will begin to modulatedepending on the supply temperature to maintainthe set point temperature.h) As the supply temperature approaches the setpoint, the combustion control will reduce the inputrate. The supply temperature will continue toclimb to about 7°F above the boiler set pointbefore it cycles off.i) The differential is applied from this point. Forexample if the boiler set point is at 180°F with a10°F differential, the supply temperature will reach187°F before shutting down. It will not re-startuntil the supply temperature drops below 177°F.j) If an indirect limit is connected between two lightblue (DHW) wires, the boiler will run the same asdescribed in 2.a through i except it will use theIndirect (DHW) setpoint.C. SAFETY INTERLOCKS1. Low Water Pressure Limit Switch: This boiler isintended to operate at pressures exceeding 10 psig. Ifthe water pressure drops to below 10 psig, there is awater pressure limit switch that interrupts boileroperation and displays the message "PR0" on thedisplay module. The combustion air fan completes apost-purge in this event. Once the low water pressurecondition is corrected the boiler will reinitiate aheating cycle if a call for heat remains.2. High Water Temperature Limit Switch: The boiler isequipped with a limit switch that will interrupt theheating cycle and execute a post-purge if the watertemperature increases to above the limit set point of210°F.3. High Flue Temperature Limit Switch: The high fluetemperature limit switch will interrupt the heatingcycle if it senses flue gas temperatures above 210°F.Figure 6.4:Component Wiring28

ELECTRICAL4. Blocked Vent Pressure Limit Switch: This switchprevents the boiler from operating if the vent pressureexceeds 1.5 inches water column. This will prevent theboiler from operating if the vent pipe is blocked. Theboiler will indicate "FLU" on the display module.D. CONTROL FUNCTIONS1.

HEATING CURVE1. Parameters 8, 9, 10 and 11 in the Installer Menu(Table 6.3) define the heating curve for outdoor resetoperation. This is applicable only if the outdoor sensoris installed. When this sensor is installed the controlwill automatically recognize it and begin outdoor resetoperation.2. Parameters 8 and 9 define the design point of theheating curve. The factory defaults are set such that ifthe outdoor temperature is 5ºF or below, the boilertarget temperature will be 180ºF.3. Parameters 10 and 11 define the “mild weather”reference point of the heating curve. The factorydefaults will drop the boiler supply target temperatureto 95ºF when the outdoor temperature reaches 68ºF.If the outdoor temperature increases beyond 68ºF theboiler supply target temperature will continue to dropbased on the slope of the heating curve.4. When the outdoor temperature is above the outdoordesign temperature and below the mild weatheroutdoor reference temperature, the boiler targettemperature will vary according to a straight linebetween the design point and the mild weatherreference point. For example, if the outdoortemperature is at 32ºF the boiler target temperaturewill be 144ºF.5. Figure 6.6 shows a graph of the heating curve withthe default design and mild weather reference point.It also illustrates how the boiler target temperaturevaries according to outdoor temperature.6. The heating curve operates only if an outdoor sensoris connected to the boiler. If the outdoor sensor isdisconnected, the boiler will revert to standardsetpoint operation.NOTICEThe outdoor sensor may need to be temporarilydisconnected in order to start up or service the boilerduring mild weather.7. Parameter 12 defines the minimum boiler supplytarget temperature.• If this temperature is above the mild weather boilerreference temperature, the boiler will continue totarget this temperature even if the outdoortemperature exceeds the corresponding value. Thismay be used for kick space heaters or unit heatersthat require a specified minimum water temperatureto operate.• If this temperature is below the mild weather boilerreference temperature, the boiler will continue totarget lower temperatures as the outdoortemperature increases by following the slope of theheating curve.8. Parameter 14 defines the maximum amount oftime the DHW (Indirect) Circulator will takepriority over the Boiler Circulator. If there is acontinuous call for both indirect and spaceheating, the DHW and Boiler Circulators willalternate, each running for the maximum amountof time or until the call for heat ends.Table 6.3: Installer MenuParameterNo.FunctionRangeDefaultValue1 Unavailable N/A de2 Unavailable N/A 149°F3Domestic Hot WaterTemperature Setpoint(Available only if indirecttank sensor is installed)95°F to 160°F(35°C to 71°C)125°F4 Unavailable N/A 36°F5678910111213141516171819Domestic Hot WaterTemperature Differential 1°F to 18°F(Available only if indirect (1/2°C to 10°C)tank sensor is installed)Indirect Circulator PostPurge TimeWarm WeatherShutdown TemperatureOutdoor DesignTemperatureBoiler Supply DesignTemperatureMild Weather OutdoorReference TemperatureMild Weather BoilerReference TemperatureMinimum Boiler SupplyTarget TemperatureCentral HeatingCirculator Post PurgeTimeIndirect Maximum RunTimeBus Address [0 ZoneMaster, 1-8 CascadeSlave] (Not Available)Internal/External ControlParameter:0 = Internal Control;1 = External ControlExternal Input Type:0 = Temperature;1 = Modulation %Step Modulation:0 = Disabled;1 = EnabledBoiler Setpoint forIndirect Call for Heat0 to 60minutes41°F to 122°F(5°C to 50°C)-49°F to 32°F(-45°C to 0°C)77°F to 201°F(25°C to 94°C)32°F to 95°F(0°C to 35°C)32°F to 180°F(0°C to 82°C)32°F to 180°F(0°C to 82°C)0 to 10minutes0 to 60minutes7°F0minutes68°F5°F180°F68°F95°F68°F0minutes30minutes0-8 00-1 00-1 00-1 0119°F to 180°F(48°C to 82°C)180°F20 Unavailable N/A 1ProgrammedSettingNo ChangeAllowedNo ChangeAllowedNo ChangeAllowed31

SeeFigure 7.3.b) Manually set the boiler to its highest input byentering Service Mode (refer to Section 6.D.7)and pressing the S2/+ key until the displayvalues no longer increase.c) Monitor the boiler temperature on thetemperature gauge (field mounted in the boilersupply piping).d) The boiler should shut down at 7ºF above theboiler setpoint. If it does not shut down, contactyour PB Heat Representative. (Note thatdepending on the outdoor reset curve, the boilermay shutdown before the Supply Setpoint ismet).2. Check the combustion readings in the boilervent pipe.a) Drill and tap a 1/8" NPT threaded hole in theboiler vent pipe within 12 inches (305 mm) ofthe boiler vent connection. (21/64" drill and 1/8"NPT pipe tap are recommended). This is to beused as a combustion test port for thecombustion analyzer. See Figure 7.2.Figure 7.3c) Manually set the boiler to its highest input byentering Service Mode (refer to Section 6.D.7)and pressing the S2/+ key until the displayvalues no longer increase.i. Verify that the fan speed indicated matchesthe high fire fan speed in Table 10.2.ii.Verify that the CO and CO ² emissions arewithin the parameters specified in Table 4.5.d) Manually set the boiler to its lowest input bypressing the S1/- key until the display values nolonger decrease.i. Verify that the fan speed matches the lowfire fan speed in Table 10.2.Figure 7.2ii.Verify that the CO and CO ² emissions arewithin the parameters specified in Table 4.5.e) If the values in either of these instances fallsoutside of the parameters set forth in Table 4.5,turn off the unit and contact your PB Heatrepresentative.35

START-UP PROCEDURESf) To exit Service Mode, press the S1/- and S2/+keys simultaneously and hold them until thedisplay shows the outlet temperature.g) After removing the analyzer probe from the ventpipe, insert a stainless steel pipe plug into thetest port.4. Turn off the automatic fill to the boiler and drainsome water to drop the system pressure below 10psig. Verify that the display module reads "PRO" after5 seconds and does not allow the boiler to operate.Close the boiler drain and turn on the automaticfill valve.5. Low Water Cut-Off (if used) - Consult themanufacturer's instructions for the low water cut-offoperational check procedure.6. Check the system to assure that there are no leaks oroverfilling problems which may cause excessive makeup water to be added. Make up water may causeliming in the boiler and corrosion in ferrous systemparts.7. Check the expansion tank and automatic fill valve (ifused) to confirm that they are operating correctly. Ifeither of these components causes high pressure in thesystem, the boiler relief valve will weep or open,allowing fresh water to enter the system.8. Check the condensate drain hose (and pump ifinstalled) and make sure all condensate is beingremoved from heat exchanger.Figure 7.4h) Record combustion readings on the “StartupCombustion Record” Sheet in Appendix A.Record all requested information for ease offollow-up and troubleshooting.9. Review operation with end-user.10. Complete the Warranty Card and submit it to PBHeat.11. Hang the Installation, Operation, and MaintenanceManual in an accessible position near the boiler.3. To check operation of the ignition system safetyshutoff features:a) Turn off gas supply.b) Set thermostat or controller above roomtemperature to call for heat.c) The boiler should perform 3 attempts at ignitionbefore going into lock-out.d) Turn gas supply on.e) Reset by pushing S4 "Reset" key.f) Observe boiler operation through onecomplete cycle.36

ANNUALLY (BEFORE START OFHEATING SEASON)CAUTIONThe following annual inspection must be performedby a qualified service technician.1. Check boiler room floor drains for properfunctioning.2. Check function of the safety relief valve byperforming the following test:a. Check valve piping to determine that it isproperly installed and supported.b. Check boiler operating temperature and pressure.c. Lift the try lever on the safety relief valve to thefull open position and hold it for at least fiveseconds or until clean water is discharged.d. Release the try lever and allow the valve to close.If the valve leaks, operate the lever two or threetimes to clear the valve seat of foreign matter. Itmay take some time to determine if the valve hasshut completely.e. If the valve continues to leak, it must be replacedbefore the boiler is returned to operation.f. Check that operating pressure and temperaturehave returned to normal.g. Check again to confirm that valve has closedcompletely and is not leaking.3. Test low-water cut-off (if used) as described by themanufacturer.4. Test limit as described in Section 7, Part C, “Check-Out Procedure”.5. Test function of ignition system safety shut-offfeatures as described in Section 7, Part C, “Check-Out Procedure”.DANGERWhen servicing or replacing components, beabsolutely certain that the following conditions aremet:• Water, gas and electricity are off.• The boiler is at room temperature.• There is no pressure in the boiler.6. Remove the top/front jacket panel and inspect forany foreign debris that may have entered through airintake vent.7. Inspect burner for deterioration. Replace if necessary.8. With boiler in operation check that condensate isdripping from condensate tubing. Check for anyrestriction in condensate drain line.D. CONDENSATE CLEANINGINSTRUCTIONS1. Turn the thermostat down or off so the Pinnacle willnot cycle and then follow the steps below.a. Close manual gas shutoff valve.b. Disconnect the condensate tubing from theoutside connection (not from the Pinnacle) soflow can be observed.c. Block the air flow in the exhaust by temporarilyplugging the exhaust from the outside vent.d. Remove boiler service switch plate. Disconnecttwo gray thermostat wires from thermostat circuitand jump them together. (Refer to Control WiringSchematic, Figure 6.1.) This will cause the fan torun at 100% which will then blow out anysediment that has accumulated in the condensateline. (This process should only take a fewminutes.)e. The unit should now be ready to re-start.40

MAINTENANCE2. Before re-starting the Pinnacle follow the stepsbelow:a. Reconnect the gray wires and unblock the vent.(IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE EXHAUSTVENT IS NO LONGER BLOCKED!)b. Open the manual gas shutoff valve and reset thethermostats.c. Observe the boiler function to make sure you seea condensate flow.d. If you do not observe a condensate flow, repeatthe above procedure.3. If the problem is not corrected at this point, it ispossible that there is a material deposit problem.Follow the Coil Cleaning Instructions (Subsection 9E)below to dissolve deposits and clean the heatexchanger.DANGERIt is extremely important to make sure the exhaustvent is not longer blocked. Failure to do so mayresult in personal injury or death.E. COMBUSTION CHAMBER COILCLEANING INSTRUCTIONSBefore beginning this procedure, you must have onhand the following items:– a nylon or brass brush (not steel)– "Rydlyme" (recommended for best results)(available online www.rydlyme.com) or "CLR"(available at most hardware stores)1. Shut the boiler down and access the heat exchangerusing the following steps:a. Close the manual gas shutoff valve and wait forthe unit to be cool to the touch.b. Disconnect the condensate piping from the outsideconnections (not from the Pinnacle side) so theflow can be observed.c. Remove four screws on the 1/2" NPT connectorat the gas valve intake and disconnect the gasvalve electrical connector.d. Remove the six 10 mm nuts from the burnerplate assembly. Disconnect wire leads to thespark igniter and flame sensor. Disconnect twoMolex plugs from blower motor.e. Pull the entire burner plate towards you to accessthe heat exchanger coils.2. Using a spray bottle filled with the recommendedproduct "Rydlyme" or "CLR", spray liberally on thecoils, making sure the solution penetrates and funnelsdown through the condensate hose. If the condensatehose is blocked, let the chemical penetrate for at least15 minutes or until it drains.3. Use the nylon or brass brush (do not use steel) andscrub coils to remove any buildup, then vacuum thedebris from the coils.4. Spray coils with clear water, making sure to confinethe spray to the area being cleaned (try to avoidwetting the back ceramic wall of the unit). Flush thecombustion chamber with fresh water. At this point,the Pinnacle should be ready to power back up.5. Reinstall the burner plate assembly using thefollowing steps:a. Inspect the inside of the heat exchanger for dirtand debris.b. Install the burner plate assembly and replace thesix 10 mm nuts.c. Reconnect the wire leads to the spark igniter,flame sensor and gas valve. (Be sure that thespark igniter is connected to the lead with thelarge insulated connection boot.) Reconnect twoMolex plugs on blower motor.d. Replace the four screws for the 1/2" NPTconnector on the gas valve. Turn the gas supplyon. (IMPORTANT: CHECK FOR GASLEAKS USING A SOAP SOLUTION.)e. Reset thermostats. (IMPORTANT: BE SURETHAT THE VENT CONNECTION IS NOTBLOCKED.)DANGERIt is extremely important that you check for leakswhen reconnecting the gas valve and make sure theexhaust vent is no longer blocked. Failure to do somay result in severe personal injury or death.f. Turn the power to the Pinnacle on. Observe thedisplay module to assure proper operation.g. Initiate a call for heat** and observe thecondensate flow.h. Reconnect the condensate piping to the drainconnection.**NOTE: When firing the boiler the first fewtimes you may experience some fluttering ofthe gas burner that may result in a flamelockout. This is normal and will require youto recycle the unit until this clears up. This iscaused by water still present in thecombustion chamber.6. Inspect exhaust vent and air intake vents for propersupport and joint integrity. Repair as necessary. Referto Section 5, VENTING.WARNINGLeaks in the vent system will cause products ofcombustion to enter structure (vent system operatesunder positive pressure).7. Inspect exhaust vent and air intake vent terminationsfor obstructions.41
