11.1. Final Checks Before Start-Up
► Read Chapter 9 on page 43 regarding the oper-
ation of the CTRLMax Boiler Management System.
► Verify the INSTINCT and the boiler system are full
of water and all system components are correctly
set for operation, including the minimum flow rate
through the boiler, see specifications in Chapter
19 on page 93. .
► Verify Start-up Preparation items outlined in
Chapter 10 on page 59 have been completed.
► Verify all electrical connections are correct and
securely fastened.
► Inspect vent and combustion air piping for signs
of deterioration from corrosion, physical damage
or
sagg ing . V er ify combustion air and v ent piping
ar e intac t and cor r ec tly installed and suppor t ed .
Reference the INSTINCT Vent Supplement.
► Verify burner configuration - Propane only.
• Check for proper labeling on the venturi and
the rating label for propane configuration.
• If there is doubt on the burner configuration,
remove the venturi and check for proper
propane gas orifice sizing on venturi labeling.
Refer to Section 7.3.2 on page 31 for orifice
sizes. Consult Propane Conversion Instructions
for proper removal and replacement of the
venturi.
► Ensure the Condensate Drain Assembly is filled
with water.
11.2. INSTINCT Start-Up
1. Turn ON the electrical supply/service to the unit.
Touch the ON-OFF button located on the front
control panel to the OFF position.
2. Read and follow the Operating Instructions outlined
on f ollo wing page .
If INSTINCT Does Not Start Correctly
1. Check for loose electrical connections, blown fuses
on control module, or an open service switch.
2. Verify CH and DHW operation is enabled. A radiator
or faucet icon with an X through it indicates that
function is disabled.
3. Check the system pressure in the Boiler Information
Menu by following the instructions in Section 9.14
on page 53.
4. Is an external limit (if applicable) open? Ensure the
external limit is reset to the closed position.
5. Are the gas supply valves open at the unit and
meter?
6. Is incoming gas supply pressure at the unit more
than 5”w.c. and less than 13”w.c. for Natural Gas and
mor e than 8" w .c . and less than 13" w .c . f or LP with all
gas appliances ON and OFF.
7. Are the heating thermostats set above room
temperature?
If none of these conditions correct the problem, contact
Triangle Tube Technical Support.
11.3. Check the INSTINCT and System
11.3.1 Check Boiler Piping.
• Check Boiler system piping and components
f or leaks . I f f ound , shut do wn the unit and r epair
immediately.
• Purge any remaining air from the system. Air in the
system will interfere with circulation, creating heat
distribution problems and noise.
11.3.2 Check Vent and Combustion Air Piping.
• Check for a gas-tight seal at every connection and
seam of the v ent and combustion air piping .
DANGER
Venting system must be sealed gas-tight to
prevent flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide
emissions, which will result in serious injury, or
death.
11.3.3 Check Gas Piping
Check around the unit for gas odor following the
procedure outlined in this manual on page 72 .
DANGER
If any gas leaks are found or suspected, shut the
unit down immediately. Use a gas detection
device or bubble test to locate the source of the
gas leak and repair at once. Do not operate the
unit until the leak is corrected. Failure to comply
with this procedure will result in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death
.
