GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION

Designed for operation with natural gas, LP gas, and #2 fuel oil appliances.

The thermostat (wall thermostat or aquastat) calls for heat and energizes a relay which activates the 1.

power venter. After the venter motor has come up to speed, the pressure switch closes. This closes the

circuit to the burner and allows the burner to ﬁre.

For millivolt controlled water heaters using the CK-20 Series Control Kit, the gas valve pressure switch 2.

activates the power venter at the same time as the burner ﬁres.

After the heating requirement has been satisﬁed, the thermostat circuit will open and de-activate the 3.

burner and power venter circuit.

For venting systems equipped with a post purge device, the power venter operates for a period of time 4.

after the burner has shut off to purge remaining ﬂue gases.

9. On oil-fired and gas-fired heating appliances not equipped with a draft hood, a barometric draft control MUST be installed to regulate proper air flow and fluctuations in the system's air flow during operation. Fluctuations may come from wind loads on the outlet of the power venter, house de-pressurization during windy days, and the different house ventilation requirements between summer and winter operation. For gas appliances, use a Field Controls Type MG-1 Barometric Draft Control.

INSTALLATION CAUTION: Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the power venting system in accordance with manufacturer's instructions will result in conditions which may produce bodily injury and/or property damage. 1. Remove power venter from box and inspect unit for damage. If the carton has been crushed or mutilated, check unit very carefully for damage. Rotate blower wheel to ensure that the motor and blower wheel rotate freely. DO NOT install if any damage is apparent.

Figure 2 Figure 3 5. Two-Piece Backing Plate Installation: a. Position the Upper Backing Plate Half on the inside wall by placing the plate half on the inside wall and up to the venter body, locating the air pressure sensing tube through the small slot in the plate half and the flexible conduit through the larger slot, as shown in Figure 4. Install an appropriate fastener in the upper right corner hole in the plate half.

WARNING: If the venter does not supply combustion air to an appliance, the factory-installed air tee cover plate must be in place on the venter. Fire hazard and/or infiltration of vented gases may occur if the cover plate is not in place on the venter. WARNING: The combustion air feature must be connected to one appliance only. VENTING SYSTEM CONNECTIONS Venting system should be installed and supported in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, or in accordance with any local codes.

Using a hand crimper or a like device, crimp the inner pipe of the CV power venter approximately 1” long. (See Figure 7) 2. Attach the vent pipe over the crimped end of the CV power venter inner pipe. 3.

If proper draft has been established, tighten the adjustment locking screw. For gas-fired systems, shut off thermostat and check for residual heat spilling from draft hood. If this occurs, a post purge timer may be required. If so, use a Field Controls PPC-5 Electronic Post Purge or a Control Kit which includes one. Before installing, refer to the General Installation Inspection to check for negative pressure problems in the building.

MAINTENANCE 1. Motor: Inspect the motor once a year - motor should rotate freely. To prolong the life of the motor, it must be lubricated with six drops of SWG Superlube, Part # 46226200, annually. 2. Wheel: Inspect the power venter wheel annually to clear any soot, ash or coating, which inhibits either rotation or air flow. Remove all foreign materials before operating. 3. Vent System: Inspect all vent connections annually for looseness, for evidence of corrosion and for flue gas leakage.

INSTALLATION 1. Align the holes in the circular cover plate with the holes in the motor mount bracket on the motor assembly. (See Figure 16) 2. Slide the motor assembly onto the protruding threaded studs on the power venter body with the exhaust chute pointing downward, and replace the four nuts securely to the threaded studs. (See Figure 16) 3. Re-attach wires and wire nuts to the motor wiring and reinstall the conduit connector, firmly tightening the screw on the side of the connector. 4.
