GENERAL SAFETY To meet commercial water use needs, an external operating control for this hot water boiler is adjustable up to 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. The preferred starting point for setting the control for supplying general purpose hot water is 125°F.
The temperature of the water in the hot water boiler can be regulated by setting the temperature dial on front of the thermostat. To comply with safety regula- tions the thermostat was set at its lowest setting before the hot water boiler was shipped from the factory. The illustration below shows the thermostat and how to adjust the water temperature.

Refer to local codes. Hydrostatic Test Unlike many other types of boilers, Raypak boilers do not require hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in operation. The heat exchanger has already been fac- tory-tested and is rated for 160 PSI operating pressure.
In order to ensure proper performance of your boiler system, you must install a properly sized pump. Raypak recommends using a 20°F ΔT as design ΔT. (ΔT is the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water when the boiler is firing at full rate). If a ΔT larger than 20°F is necessary, the bypass must...

POOL HEATING CAUTION: Power to the heater should be interlocked with the main system pump to make sure the heater does not fire without the main system pump in operation. Improper flow control can damage the heater. Uncontrolled flow (too high) or restricted flow (too low) can seriously affect heater operation.

General CAUTION: Proper installation of flue exhaust venting is critical for the safe and efficient operation of the boiler. For vent systems not shown in this section please contact your local authorized representative. CAUTION: Stable vent pressure is critical to the safe and proper operation of the heater.
Support of Vent Stack The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on the boiler vent connection. Support must be provid- ed in compliance with applicable codes. The vent should also be supported to maintain proper clear- ances from combustible materials.
e) Terminate vent at least six (6) feet away from adja- cent walls. DO NOT terminate vent closer than five (5) feet below roof overhang. Canadian Installations Refer to the latest edition of CSA B149 Installation Code. A vent shall not terminate: a) Directly above a paved sidewalk or driveway which is located between two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings.

Once a fault has been detected, the U-2 board will illu- minate the corresponding LED lamp, will shut-down the boiler, and will light the flashing red LED “Service” lamp on the CPW board. If more than one fault is detected, the U-2 board will display the priority fault based on the safety hierarchy as labeled on the U-2 board.
