A. General. Install wiring and ground boiler in accordance
with requirements of authority having jurisdiction, or in
absence of such requirements the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or the Canadian Electrical
Code Part 1, CSA 22.1, Electrical Code.
B. Wire Vent Damper (if used).
1. Steam or tankless heater.
a. Remove one (1) 7/8" knockout from junction
box. Carefully remove transformer - avoid undue
strain on wires.
b. Install Vent Damper Harness into top of junction
box.
c. Remove factory installed jumper plug (if so
equipped) from Vent Damper Receptacle. Plug
Vent Damper Harness into Vent Damper
Receptacle. See Figure 28.
d. Install cable clamp around exible Vent Damper
Harness. Attach to jacket top panel. See Figure
29.
2. Note: After vent damper is installed and operated
through one (1) cycle, the control circuit will
operate only when vent damper is in control circuit.
C. Install thermostat. Locate on inside wall
approximately 4 feet above oor. Do not install on
outside wall, near replace, or where inuenced by
drafts or restricted air ow, hot or cold pipes, lighting
xtures, television, or sunlight. Allow free air
movement by avoiding placement of furniture near
thermostat.
Set heat anticipator to match system requirements. See
Table 7. In general, setting heat anticipator too low will
cause boiler to short cycle without bringing heated
space up to temperature. Setting heat anticipator too
high will allow boiler to operate longer than necessary
and overheat space.
D. Wire thermostat. Provide Class II circuit between
thermostat and boiler.
1. Steam or tankless heater. Remove transformer from
junction box. Connect one wire from thermostat to
blue wire(s). Connect additional wire from
thermostat to brown wire or red wire for water with
tankless heater.
