  • Page 10: Installation Guidelines

    Refer to the exhaust system sections of this manual. • If no control cabinet is supplied by Nagas with the unit the installer must be made one for component protection and must include aeration openings at least equal of two 2 inches holes.
  • Page 11 Positioning of the sensor controlling the supply temperature WARNING The positioning of the supply temperature sensor is essential for the proper operation of the unit. Improper positioning of the supply temperature sensor could result in high temperatures in the supply ducts, a thermal protection shutdown, the closing of the fire damper and may result in damage to the unit and void the warranty.
  • Page 12: Electrical Control

    Every component requires a minimum ambient temperature during operation. If you don’t order the Nagas heating and control cabinet solution you must build your own. Also, every component must be protected from environmental elements and covered because of high voltage hazard.

  • Page 15: Flue Vent And Combustion Air

    Flue vent and combustion air Depending on the model, the flue vent connector diameter ranges from 6 to 8 inch. The DTHC model series is designed to operate effectively and safely (against a positive pressure of 0.35 in.w.c) with a positive stack (category IV) type sealed single wall or double wall flue vent listed for this application, whether vertical arrangement or horizontal or a combination of both.
  • Page 16 The horizontal conduit sections should be supported every six feet with non-combustible products such as, chains or steel belts. Do not use the unit or the vertical conduit section as a support. Flue vent dimensions must respect the unit diameters (minimum) and maximum equivalent lengths of 100 feet calculated.

  • Page 19: Start-Up Instruction

    Start-up instruction Important Start-up can only be performed by a qualified technician qualified to install gas heating star system (with accreditation) with knowledge in electricity and ventilation. Warning • Do not smoke during start-up. • Do not try to light the burner if the gas has accumulated in combustion chamber or in the area, if the combustion chamber is filled with vapors or if it is very hot.
  • Page 20 3.0 Burner adjustment Install a pressure gauge (0-10 in. w. c.) on the manifold pressure test port located downstream of the modulation gas valve. See component identification section for location. For the combustion test, it is recommended to use a (2-10VDC) manual potentiometer to simulate the modulation signal to the burner.
  • Page 21: Control Sequence

    Control sequence A PLC controls the burner duties by controlling the modulating gas valve, the fan speed and their relative position to each other depending on the input signal (2-10 VDC) from the temperature controller. The control sequence is defined and executed following these eight steps: 1.
  • Page 22 Step 3 - Pre-Purge (S40) The blower starts and set to 100% of its capacity for about 60 seconds then a 15 seconds timer to let the fan speed slow down before the burner ignition. When complete the burner ignition step is enabled.
  • Page 23 Step 8 - Post-purge (S100) This step is allowed when the burner modulation request is lower than 2.3V DC for more than the low fire delay, if the heating demand is turn OFF or if an alarm has been detected with the burner operation.
